Wow - what a premiere from the BH ladies. I haven't been this excited about a BH season since like S1-S3. Usually this series is a VERY slow burn, but they came out of the gates this season. I think we have a lot more to see regarding Dorit vs. LVP this season. I'm holding judgment until I see it all unfold. Erika was an afterthought, which we need. Looking forward to this season based on this premiere!

Looks like Vicki is in the Bahamas right now, not filming. Eddie is having heart issues again and back in the hospital. Seems like the exact spot we were in at the beginning of last season.

BH tagline are here! Kyle gets the prime spot in the new title card. LVP and Erika next to her, then Dorit/Rinna, then Denise/Teddi on the ends. Dorit's cleavage is ridiculous in this opening, wow. Kyle/Teddi's - clearly against LVP. LVP - always a winner tagline, delivered beautifully. Rinna - always clever and funny tagline. Dorit/Erika/Denise - ehhh, they're just ok. https://www.etonline.com/the-real-housewives-of-beverly-hills-season-9-taglines-are-here-exclusive-119202

Yeah, the fact that we are only halfway through this mediocre season really makes me exhausted. Nothing in that trailer is new or makes me excited about another marathon of Atlanta. Yikes.

I just read that Ashley Darby is pregnant! I guess she and Michael are ok... https://pagesix.com/2019/02/06/real-housewives-of-potomac-star-ashley-darby-is-pregnant/

I bet she backs down - she ain't letting herself go. She loves the OG title too much. I did wonder about Kelly though - I don't think I saw her in the Andy baby shower picture which only had current housewives invited. Same with Cary on Dallas. Other than LVP, Luann and Bethenny, I *think* those were the only other current housewives not in attendance, which seemed odd to me.

I was away on vacation this past week, but this was such a nice surprise to come home to!! NYC has always been my favorite and I love this trailer. I cannot wait! I can't wait to catch up on NJ - I heard the last two episodes were FIRE. OC's Gina was just arrested for a DUI. I read another article that says all housewives are returning this season and they're just beginning to film this weekend. https://www.eonline.com/news/1010904/real-housewives-of-orange-county-s-gina-kirschenheiter-arrested-for-alleged-dui

What about LuAnn? Haha she’s another favorite. Who is the one above Sonja and Erika? She’s the only one I can’t place.

I don’t know, I feel like she’s been on quite a bit this year. The James ultimatum, business vs MeToo, dealing with James’ mom, Pride, staff meetings, the TomTom stuff, now the Billie stuff... I really think filming VPR, BH, opening TomTom, opening Las Vegas, her dog work, and her brothers suicide - it really all became too much in a concentrated period of time.

So wait, if Kandi does well on Celebrity Big Brother, knowing it goes a month and Atlanta’s reunion films in a few weeks, will she just not be there? Seems like the perfect season for her to miss and not have to answer to her squad’s actions...

They showed a teaser trailer for a special 'Married to Medicine' episode coming in March, which I think is supposed to introduce the LA version. So definitely getting a nicer treatment already than Houston ever got.

Agree 100% on this! Kandi’s comment about salmon tartar being a narnar was the funniest thing in this world. Still laughing. Great episode, finally.

Atlanta just bores me to death this season. I really want to like it, but I can't. Shamari isn't working for me - she belongs maybe on Basketball Wives or something. Eva is boring. Too much Porsha. Tanya has potential, but for some reason I feel like she's awkward and the girls are awkward as they all try to get to know each other. Kandi is being too obvious this season with her squad doing her dirty work. I'm just bored. NJ really started strong but the last two episodes have been really trying for me. Jackie's article was not a big deal, Jennifer overreacted. Teresa stands up for Jennifer way too much. Jennifer is annoying, dumb and totally hypocritical, especially when she starts drinking. Milania should not be given a microphone or a hope that she can sing, because girl can NOT.

Does anyone else get a gay vibe from Jennifer’s husband? I also loved that he thought Jackie’s article was no big deal. 😂

Lisa Vanderpump opens up a bit: http://www.bravotv.com/the-daily-dish/lisa-vanderpump-on-real-housewives-beverly-hills-season-9-brother-death I think it totally makes sense that she didn't go on all the trips or film with the girls all the time, after reading this. I think some of the rumors out there about her being a diva and everyone being against her may be blown up a bit. It had to be hard. Assuming they treat her well throughout the season and during the reunion, I think she'll be back next season.

Yeah, but to be fair, when was this? Teresa was cute and fun the first few seasons but really derailed into a cunty, prison housewife (which as a viewer I still enjoy sometimes). Perceptions and feelings can change over time.

Oh yes, and it's not pretty: https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/danielle-staub-my-estranged-husband-marty-caffrey-is-not-well/ Given that Danielle admits she didn't feel right getting married and that things were not well in the relationship, she was already heading down the divorce path, and in the time in which they film the talking heads, it would have been too late and the reactions to her actual wedding and how it was being shown in the episodes would have been contradictory. That's my guess on Bravo's decision. She also didn't go to Oklahoma so for a short season, she had already been MIA in the beginning episodes. My theory on BH being delayed... if you watch Vanderpump Rules, Tedi has an appearance where they're very friendly... Tedi's brother has an appearance and Lisa again goes on about how great of a friend Tedi is. I think given the upcoming storyline on BH, they just needed to separate the airing of the shows such that timelines aren't confusing or contradictory.

Why am I sitting here crying about Noelle going off to college? That was a heartbreaker. NJ is really good this season, minus that dud Jennifer. I’d take the OC Peggy over this one. I also don’t get why the last few episodes have been about Danielle but she isn’t given talking heads? I still love Margaret so much, but she was a negative Nancy about the rain. That was a misstep.

Part of me wonders if this is all a ploy to stagger Vanderpump Rules and BH for LVP to continue so she’s not pulling double duty filming?

BH trailer dropped and I'm so excited to say that it looks GOOD: https://people.com/tv/rhobh-season-9-trailer-exclusive/ Brandi and Kim are back for cameos! I'm more optimistic about this season, but I won't get my hopes up TOO high.

Gretchen and Slade are pregnant: https://www.eonline.com/news/997325/real-housewives-alum-gretchen-rossi-is-pregnant-with-her-first-child

I totally agree with you. This was actually my first housewives series to watch, after hearing all the hubbub about them. It hooked me and I started watching reruns of New Jersey and Atlanta right after. I gave DC a rewatch a couple years ago and you've energized me to watch it yet again. It totally deserved a second season and the ratings were just fine (yes, behind NJ/Atlanta and it's predecessor BH, but still ahead of today's standards). I think the Salahi's just killed it, sadly.

I think Dallas will get renewed, assuming Andy has any say over it. He has mentioned many times over the last few weeks on WWHL that he loves Dallas and some celeb friends of his like it too (after they got over Season 1). Fingers crossed!!
