Well Bethenny Frankel isn't have a good Season 11 premiere day: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6778743/Bethenny-Frankel-sobs-court-describing-ex-Jason-Hoppy-tormented-her.html That sounds so nasty - I don't envy anyone in that family right now. Ouch.

I wonder why the Houston version didn't get this treatment, or was this done because they didn't treat Houston correctly? I thought it was fun and cute. It was clearly staged and put on, but that's fine. Like when the girls were at Contessa's like "oh we should go on a trip... LA!" and then all of a sudden, Contessa has friends there, etc. I like most of the new girls so far. I'll give this show a shot. Toya was also missing and I wonder why... that girl doesn't like to miss anything.

Ok, Team Marlo on that fight - Nene is crazy. Nene is clearly hiding something in that closet. Something isn’t adding up.

My opinion on the BH thing... It is more entertaining out of the gate than it normally is, but I'm still worried this dog storyline will drag throughout the entire season and become another boring ass season, yet again. BH really shoots itself in the foot by doing this, season after season. What I love about NYC is that those girls can get over something so quickly and move on, there may be story arcs, but each episode is something different, exciting and entertaining (and funny). I see through LVP. I like her, but I think she's annoying sometimes and I can see how she grates on the nerves of the other ladies. The 'English jabs' can be tiring and off-putting - like saying Dorit snores and farts 🙄 But I also respect her work ethic and I love her on Vanderpump Rules. Unless I missed something, wasn't LVP the one that brought up the dog situation that first night in the Bahamas in front of Kyle and Rinna? They were talking about Dorit being allergic to cats and LVP goes "and probably dogs ha ha", which then pushed Rinna to ask what she's talking about. LVP - why would you make that joke if you didn't want the dog thing to be brought up again? I think the whole thing is being blown out of proportion, which again, is BH's achilles heel (panty-gate anyone?). Dorit should have given the dog back Vanderpump Dogs, she admits that, Lisa forgave Dorit... let's move the heck on. Erika - I loved her during her first season, but ever since Hong Kong and tearing into Eileen, I've had the same thoughts as most of you. She's rude, humorless and tacky. Such a shame.

Yeah, I’m inclined to believe she’s making a cameo. Isn’t she living full-time in St. Louis now? Also, if all ladies are back with the new housewife I posted about last week, then she would make 8 which I always think is too many.

OC: Vicki just posted on Instagram that she filmed her first night of the new season. I guess she agreed to the contract terms... Also - rumors on the new housewife: https://realityblurb.com/2019/02/12/report-braunwyn-windham-burke-joins-rhoc-cast-for-season-14-amid-rumors-of-vicki-gunvalsons-demotion-see-photos-of-her-huge-family/

Sonja and Luann are the best. Ramona’s is usually always fun, but this was flat to me unless it’ll make more sense when we see the season. Unless bethenny is hawking some new skinny girl margarita, I have no idea why she picked a boring, random tagline like that. Cant wait for this season! Funny how we got this weeks out from the premiere yet we didn’t get BH’s until day before their premiere.

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.
