Hahahahaha As Dorothy Zbornak would say, "You are nothing if not consistent." I, too, couldn't help but notice Eileen's keen sense of remembering exactly everything she had said. All that daytime dialogue! Nobody can ever accuse her of saying something she didn't say because she'll always have the receipts to back it up.

Yes! Kim saying, "it was just a joke" stunk of irony and hypocrisy. Continue on doing crystal meth in the bathroom. OMG it's just a joke, you know ha-ha Teresa Guidice funny? I see both points of view, re: Eileen and Lips Rinna's conversation. On one hand, it is extremely bizarre to act like nothing happened. But on the other hand, it's best to just appease the crazy one and keep the peace. After all, they're thousands of miles from home and have to film together for the next few days. Might as well sweep it all under the rug (until they're back in Beverly Hills). No time out for Lisa R, for me.

Meanwhile, did someone leave this thread on account of all the Kim talk?

Yaaaaass! I hadn't seen the full version yet. I hope her return is worth every penny.

If Marlo and Sheree were brought back, then there's be hope for some actual beef and drama for NeNe to play off of. Otherwise, it's time to let her go. She checked out 2 seasons ago and is basically a "friend of" (or rather, "troublemaker for") the housewives at this point. Any time she traipses on into the scene, the expression on her face says it all: She doesn't want to be there, she doesn't really care about any of the women there, she's just here to collect her check. Nothing about her presence there with the other ladies even resembles organic at this point. I would suggest an official "friend of" status for her, but Miss Linnethia Leakes would *never* dare take a paycut! Phaedra is another long-time housewife that needs to retire. She has way too many messy skeletons in her closet that she's never going to reveal on air. She's gotten too toxic and her southern belle schtick has long since expired. Demetria seems to have potential, with what little we've seen of her. I'd like to see her again. Victoria Rowell on this show.... that would be interesting to see. Interesting to see....

I was hoping for a bigger boost, ratings-wise, for Beverly Hills this past week, but perhaps they'll inch up to 2 million this week with the continuous Amsterdamn drama. P.S. did anyone catch the brief commercial for NYC? "The B is back" in reference to Bethenny. And then the baseball lineup of ladies is all black & white with a red apple.

Ha! Are we renaming them Team Pretty vs. Team Violent?

Maybe we'll see more of her, Greg, and their teen doing more donuts in the parking lot for the teen's driving exam. Bring on the 4 million viewer mark!

Which is also why people like Lisa Rinna feel the need to bring up the topic of alcoholism with multiple people in different filmings. In Housewivesland, there's an action, there's a reaction, and then there's rehash, rehash, rehash. At least Lisa's concern comes from a genuine and genuinely concerned place. I just had a flashback to Carlton's issue with Kyle: "I felt you didn't come from a genuine place of interest." Good God, Eileen and Rinna are such an upgrade from last year's newbies

Agreed. Five seasons is more than enough. Nothing about this show is helpful to her except giving her more money to run to the liquor store or spot a $100 to someone with a plethora of prescription drugs in their medicine cabinet. For her own sake, she needs off this show.

Mean, mean, mean!!!

Preach! Kim is an awful, awful woman and I don't blame Kyle for giving up. My partner and I were discussing this afterwards, and we came to the conclusion and this has continued to be so ugly between the Richards sisters these past 5 years because Kyle dared to reveal the big family secret in season one --- that Kim is an unstable lush who everyone has been coddling and picking up after for YEARS. I'm sure Kathy doesn't appreciate that Kyle allowed that tidbit to air on camera because that has now been sloppy Kimmy's storyline since. Kim's nastiness to Eileen is just unnecessary. Calling her "that thing sitting over there" afterwards, and the blow-up at the table.... Oh, I cannot wait for Eileen's intelligent, icy retort at the reunion. After five long seasons, Kim Richards needs a verbal beat down. Even Kyle admitted on the phone on WWHL last night that she and Kim hadn't seen each other in FOUR MONTHS before filming the reunion. Kyle may play the victim, but I think this millstone around her neck known as Kim finally needs to be taken off and the old mule can go at it alone. Meanwhile, Brandi's all butthurt because the ladies are putting on an innocent persona for the sake of the cameras (and their families) by acting coy at the sight of pot/weed/hash/etc. Whatevs... Apparently, there's a big bombshell that comes out near the end of the reunion. Kyle alluded to something on her WWHL phone call.... I'm going to predict that Lisa Rinna admits that there's been some infidelity in her marriage with Harry, but I could be wrong.

Sigh.... season 3 of ATL. That's when I originally started watching and fell in love with NeNe. *That's* the NeNe I knew and loved. This current incarnation of her for the past couple of years is mostly no fun at all. Have fun with the season 4 reunion! It's awesome! I'd say ATL season 4, NYC season 3, and NJ season 2 are the three all-time best Housewives reunions. No sympathy here for Rambles Richards. I really hope she doesn't get another free pass / get out of rehab free card again at this reunion, but we'll see....

*So* looking forward to this! Great trailer! EIGHT women though? Eight official castmembers? Wow, that's a new record, yes? All the more reason why someone like Kristen should be downgraded. It's not like anyone would miss her. No one's gonna be up Andy's ass begging for her to return to help recapture the glory year of season 6. She was barely in the trailer (surprisingly, neither was Heather). I'm excited to see a newly single Ramona, and seeing Bethenny dishing it to the ladies who have joined since she left. The Queen of quick wit has returned!! Wow, I totally did not see the Cynthia Watros resemblance with the new girl when I watched the trailer! Looking back now, it's kinda like Cynthia Watros circa "Lost" DUI mugshot with those eyes.

That secret room became the spot where Dr. Rolf was doing all his evil-doings in the late 90's, and Stefano would regularly frequent the secret lair. That's where the machine gizmos and gadgets were that got the satellite going and reactivated Hope's computer chip in her head. Good grief, just reading that last sentence... it's amazing how DAYS has evolved from its supernatural, wacky, unrealistic 90's heyday. Nowadays, when you have evil henchmen, there's all these reality-based background checks to find them, like the current doctor's tax returns that Nicole was looking at, and the paper trail of Dr. Chyka drugging Eric. Before, you had henchmen and people on the DiMera payroll, and everyday real-life things like taxes were NEVER mentioned or thought of (granted, I would imagine DiMera money would be under the table).

They lost me this season. Revenge is the perfect example of these high stakes dramas on [network] TV nowadays, where the main mystery at the onset of the series should be wrapped up and resolved within 1-2 seasons and the show should end altogether.

Cat calling Kim a tit made me chuckle Kim is dangerous. She's dangerous to herself and she's dangerous to those around her because she's excellent at deflecting and turning blame on others and getting others all riled up and fighting each other instead of addressing the true villain in the room. The fact that they have excused her behavior for the majority of the past 5 seasons is dangerous, because she'll continue being her destructive self until the Bravo checks stop coming in. And then what? I can just bet Kyle would stop giving a damn, knowing their relationship wasn't being broadcast for scrutiny on TV. I'm sure Lisa V feels vindicated re: Paris incident because the proverbial elephant in the room is being called out to the forefront (similar to season 2 when Taylor's claims of Russell's abuse finally came out on camera).

Oh DaytimeFan, I do so enjoy your write-ups of RHOBH because I always agree 100% and I always love a Melrose or Dynasty reference

Boy, that random outburst by Kim to Lisa R was weird. And on the plane, too, where the camera quality is more gritty and you could tell by Lips' face that she was not expecting this but still genuinely cared. Loved that expression on her face when she was asking Kim, "Where is this anger coming from?" No fake drama for the cameras; it was real. Lips was also fun, hilarious and joyful on WWHL. What a great sport!

I'm looking forward to NYC returning (surprise, surprise!) because there are consistent rumors that Bethenny's pulling the diva card, getting paid the most, yet showing up for the least amount of group functions. Plus, she insists on promoting her line of products at each & every chance. Even though she and Ramona are good friends, and she and LuAnn put their past differences aside, I can see them (along with the other ladies) showing aggravation and annoyance with Bethenny onscreen as a result of the behind-the-scenes politics.

Ah, memories. LOL

I'm glad Lisa R is calling Kim out and not backing down. The last time someone (Lisa V in Paris when Kim was wackadoodledoo on the balcony) mentioned Kim slipping, it was swept under the rug. It's gotta be strange having to film with these ladies for hours & hours and there's something apparently off about the "sober" recovering addict and everyone smiles and pretends the pink elephant isn't in the room. Lisa R is a newbie who's not playing that game and isn't ashamed to say what's what.

Wow! Well done, NBC & SNL!

Did anyone else watch Rosie's show on OWN? They actually tried that similar approach at the tail end. No audience, no band, no koosh balls, nada. Just a one-on-one interview on an empty stage with a backdrop that looked like a Kindergarten classroom. I wanted it to succeed, but everything went wrong.
