People on IG are saying Robyn is there - at the very beginning of the video, she's the one at the bottom of the screen that dips out to the left. But that looks more like a waitress to me... haha, who also tries to eventually help, but then keeps cleaning up the table? Weird. While physical violence is never the answer, if someone threw a glass at me and it hit my face, I don't know that I couldn't hold back either...

Thanks, y'all! It was definitely such a fun time and I'm glad I went. I have so many videos and pics (I was that guy haha) - but I have no idea how to post them here, if I can figure it out somehow, I will.

Potomac scoop - they're in Austin this week for Karen's 60th birthday (not sure if there is another reason or not). Last night they went to a gay bar to watch a drag show - all the cameras were there to film. I ended up going. Thoughts: All the ladies were gorgeous and eating up the attention and drag show. Every split or death drop, they were throwing dollar bills on the queens, dancing and singing and having a great time. They celebrated Karen's birthday and the drag queens put on a competition, in which Karen, Mia, Ashley, Wendy and the new girl (I didn't catch her name - she has an accent), all participated. They had to do a runway walk down the stage - top three winners were Karen, Wendy and Ashley. They did a lip sync dance for the finals and Karen won because it was her birthday, but let me tell you that Wendy should have won - she was so funny and great. There likely was a fight at dinner beforehand, or during this trip, because you could see some ladies weren't interacting with each other. Robyn/Gizelle - mostly quiet, especially Robyn, mostly sat in their seats and didn't talk much to the girls, but when the show was on fire, they had their moments of standing up and throwing the bills. Candiace - loved the fan attention and was standing up dancing/singing throughout, but she sat away from R/G off to the side, near Mia and Wendy. You could tell she wasn't giving the girls much attention, but she was great with the audience/fans. Mia/New Girl - stayed mostly to themselves, but had a good time. Mia wore a cheap cowboy hat. Wendy - wore blue sunglasses most of the night, which at first seemed standoffish, but towards the end she was having a great time and getting into it. Karen - living it up and enjoying the drag queens. She was great, and I did see her and Gizelle speak a few times like friends, so I think they're ok. Ashley - this one just loves being in a gay club. She would go off to the bar by herself and interact with people whereas the other girls stayed in their little area and had the staff bring them drinks. She was fun. Anyway, can't wait for their next season!

Wasn't there a Rain - I think Bianca's first introduction to a gay bar? They may not have been romantic though, maybe just a first lesbian friend - can't remember if Bianca was crushing on her or just friends.

This is exciting news - so happy to see it.

I'm happy to see this, because I'm enjoying this season! They just about brought in Below Deck and BH numbers, which is a great sign.

Julie is straight up crazy. This was her audition for the Challenge and to be some relevant crazy reality star and it completely took away from the point of this reunion for me.

I'm pretty shocked at how ratings have fallen. They're pulling in OC/NYC numbers this season. Still in the top 10 of their evening for cable, but the demos and overall viewers on first live episode are way down than Atlanta's normal. They've always been the top-rated Bravo show every year, but NJ, BH and Below Deck are topping them this year.

I thought the Dubai premiere was super boring until the last 10 minutes. Not that I need fighting to enjoy housewives, but these ladies were pretty boring in the personal lives during their intros. Maybe it was production/editing? I'll keep watching of course haha... and hopefully it heats up for me!

RIP Helmut! I also loved watching them on instagram during the pandemic. They clearly loved each other so much.

I’m also a huge Kelly Bensimon hater. She really got under my skin Season 4, especially at the reunion and how she treated Alex. I really wouldn’t want to see her back. She made Luann insufferable too. I also thought Potomac was already filming!! Weird, what took so long??

It pretty much is, so far. The only difference/twist to the "plot" is that the restaurant has had issues with staffing, failing inspections, and general management... so they brought in this drill sergeant manager to lead the staff and turn the restaurant around and they're all beefing with the guy. But otherwise, there is drama between friends, scenes outside the restaurant of them drinking/having fun, etc. It does show Kandi in an LVP role, along with Mama Joyce and her sisters for side commentary, but the focus is on the younger staff.

Thanks for looking up the timeline! Interesting! Anyone watching Kandi and the Gang? I'm liking it so far! You can tell they tried to shoot this series before Covid and then it got scrapped and now they're trying to bring everyone back in to work and be part of the show again.

^Ahh interesting, ok thank you! I really do wonder what's up with Dolores and Tre - I really thought they were a lot closer than they appear to be now.

Anyone know if this season of NJ was filmed before or after RHUGT?

Have we had an episode of NJ yet this season where they show the intro with taglines?? This is crazy.

Oh - Dr. Jen has feathers on the bottom half - very much like Meredith - it’s too much!

I am ALL in for this idea, especially if Michaele is in it. DC was so good, it's the series that got me hooked on housewives. Last night's SLC episode was so chaotic.

No Janet Green? I know she got comical towards the end (so did Stefano), but she was a great villain during one of AMC's best runs in both quality and in the ratings.

Ok the OC is back! That was one of their best episodes in seasons! Heather is the only housewife I know that can make Shannon cower and I’m living for it. Emily also brought it. I was surprised that Heather didn’t throw Nicole out - knowing that Nicole no longer is a housewife after this point, I’m wondering if she decides this after tonight, or if Heather still coordinated that behind the scenes.

I'm Team Whitney/Heather in this fight. Whitney did nothing to Mary... Mary became way too mean and offended by Whitney over nothing. Should Whitney have called Mary back at some point, sure, but Mary took this way too far. Regarding Cameron and Mary's church... Lisa is a snake and I felt the struggle that Whitney/Heather had to go through regarding that. Lisa is the one in the wrong here. I still like Mary because she's crazy AF and makes me laugh, but I prefer her in individual scenes vs. group scenes. She's just a mean person. She called Heather chubby? What church leader throws immature insults out like that? She's hypocritical. Jeannie is a fish out of water. Even when she makes a splash, it seems forced bc she knows she needs to make an impression. I do enjoy her family scenes - with her kids, not her husband needing another child.

I think Kenya was being a mean girl, but Ramona has been terrible (in a good way as a viewer) all trip, so it is what it is... I've always enjoyed Cynthia on RHOA, but man she's a downer on UGT. I've never seen this side of her before and I don't like it. I think taking a break for her is probably the best.

Sounds like this 'early' fight is what happens next week at Heather's house, which we're all very curious about. I also find it odd that Heather would be friends with her and not know that she formerly sued Terry. Once she finds out, it seems like Heather put an end to Nicole being on this show - iced her out and forced production's hand early into the season. Interesting... can't wait to see how it all turns out. The glass breaking fight in Aspen is interesting too, I hadn't heard about that one.

I agree about OC - it was a great premiere, very natural having Heather back. Her house is so cold to me, but it's obviously very rich and fabulous, which I appreciate seeing. I was LOL'ing at the comparison between Heather/Nicole/Noelle's champagne Nobu proper lunch vs. Shannon/Emily/Gina's "blue-collar" tequila lunch at the Deck. I love that Javier's is popping back up now that Heather is back. I've been to all three of those places and love them. Can't wait to see how next week's episode turns out - seems like Emily and Nicole have their 'have a seat' moment from the trailer. Surprised that Nicole isn't a housewife, maybe she was originally and then stopped after what happens at next week's event.

I just read on many Instagram accounts that Bravo is doing another Season 5 overhaul on NYC and they won’t be back with a new season until 2023 I see Tamra returning eventually. I’m here for that. I also just saw a rumored All-Stars season 3 cast with LVP, Bethanny, Karen, Camille, Lisa Barlow and Kelly Dodd (blah).
