    Petti's scene with her sister may have been the most awkward scene in history. Her sister's absolute disdain for her was AMAZING. Petti literally is clueless as to why anyone would dislike her. It's fun to watch but I can't stand the woman. I'm glad Gamble told her to Get Fucked and tossed out her invitation. What a bitch.

     

    Lydia is quite the pot stirrer and I don't think she's a clever and witty as she believes herself to be.

     

    I like Janet but her nose is really distracting.

    So Bravo is airing season 2 of Melbourne and I caught tonight's episode. Honestly because of all your comments, I already don't trust this Lydia woman but even in this episode it seems there's something suspect about her.

    Ill comment as I continue watching it.

    This take down of Luann is super annoying. Ramona and Sonja come off as so desperate and jealous that Tom decided he wanted Luann over whatever happened with them. And Bethenny, that dumb hateful bitch. She sas literally giddy that she has some gossip to spread. I can't stand her. Carole surprisingly is still like able when she's not with Beth.

     

  3. Luann was absolutely everything in that all white ensemble. I found that whole scene with her and Bethenny hilarious.

     

    It's absolute bullshit that they're allowing Bethenny to ice people out on the show. She's become so unwatchable. Honestly becoming rich has truly done her no favors at all. And having Carole as a mean girl tag-a-long is already tired and annoying. I can't believe how much I used to like Carole.

  4. That Potomac reunion was something else. Has there ever been a cast that already hates each other that much by the end of the first season? The only people who seem like actual friends were Robyn and Gizelle.

     

    I think they're definitely going to have to bring some new blood in for these ladies to even have someone to film with.

  5. RHoBH

     

    TT just did an intriguing column over the power dynamic through the 5 seasons of RHoBH and how it leads to this current season.

     

    Thoughts? Because I found it fascinating.

     

    I found it fascinating...but easily disputable. TT definitely has a strong take on everything she writes about and the one downside of her site is that she runs it with an iron fist. If people don't agree with her then they are immediately called a litany of unflattering names that belittle their logic and bolster hers. 

     

    I think she underestimates Kyle's role in a lot of things and gives LVP and LemonLyme too much credit for themselves. I also think she misjudges season 1 - LVP was the breakout star from the first episode, she was never grasping to be the centre of attention: she was always the focal point. She also misjudges LVP moving houses - TT says LVP needed to move into a "better house" - yet LVP's current home is substantially less expensive and smaller than her old house and not in a gated community. Finally, she definitely seems sympathetic to Dim Richards when it isn't warranted. 

    I thought the article was interesting as well but I have the exact same issues that you have not only with the site but her opinions. You literally can not have a differing opinion than her without the insults that follow because she  disagrees.

    Yes the first season was mainly about Kyle vs. Camille but LVP was undoubtedly the break out star. I also remember thinking LVP's new house is smaller than the last, I think Vanderpump actually stated as much.

     

    TT is a bright lady and enjoy her site very much. I thought this was a good analysis with a lot of salient points. However, I would agree with you both on the tendency to belittle other opinions (I guess it's her site so she can do what she wants), and especially with your differing analyses regarding Season 1. I remeber before I had seen S1, DaytimeFan on this very thread urging me to watch it because Lisa Vanderpump was so fabulous in it. I definitely think that Production and Kyle probably had in mind before the show started that it might be centered around her as 'central heroine,' but very quickly LVP and Camille were the HWs that the audience couldn't get enough of watching. Kyle had that Smugness Factor (and outing her sister's alcoholism did not look good on her), and Camille was just... wow, lol. So LVP ended up being the HW much of the audience warmed to.

     

    Even Andy Cohen said that as soon as they found LVP, Bravo knew they had found the show's lynchpin character.

     

    Just talking about this made me realize what an awesome jewel Season 1 was. Sigh.

     

    In Andy's book Most Talkative he said that the production company and Bravo worked like crazy to convince LVP to sign on and that when she agreed they knew the show was set and that they "had found [their] Joan Collins"...now that has to irk Kyle, as many of us have always suspected that despite her role in the casting of the show (and as Camille said, Kyle has profit participation in the show...) she's never, ever, been the star of it. 

     

    Despite TT's analysis that everything boils down to LVP vs. Yolanda, I think Kyle's role in the evolution (and devolution) of the show has mattered an awful lot as well. 

     

    Absolutely. The backlash that Kyle got after S2 Reunion (when she and Adrienne decided to 'take down' LVP and she served up the "Bobby Fischer" comment) was real. All the seasons following that have been an attempt to make Poor Kyle appear the victim of LVP's unforgiving ways... or of Kim's crazy... or of Brandi's ratchetness. I assume to rebuild her rep with the viewing audience. Eventually, last season, Kyle got back on-side with both LVP and many viewers. TT never addressed that S2 Reunion in her blog piece when IMO it was a huge turning point. It solidified Brandi's S3 presence on the show, and it ushered out Taylor, Camille and, eventually, Adrienne, requiring new sets of HWs (including Yolanda) to come on the show.

    She also failed to mention that originally Lisa, Yolanda, and Brandi were a little clique which was probably the most the audience ever liked either of them.

  7. She's an idiot and definitely did not think that through. Sure she deleted it but of course someone was going to capture that. I could see this hurting her QVC brand as well. 

     

    I I will be so glad when BH is done. This season has been draining and annoying. I'm absolutely over Eileen and Rinna. And I HATE that no one ever called Erika out on her clear disdain for Vanderpump. She says that Kathryn is drinking the LVP Kool-Aid, while not acknowledging that she's totally Yolanda's bitch.

  8. I'M SICK OF HEARING THAT KIM DOESN'T FIT IN! She does! She is perfect! They needed to change things or they could've kept Claudia and Demetria. I like that she brings a different vibe. She didn't know anybody so obviously it was going to be an adjustment, but once they adjusted she was just fine. I think by next season she will be a perfect fit. I LOVED that reunion trailer! Porsha trying to come at Nene was HILARIOUS! Porsha and Phaedra better be careful next season! Kim was getting Kenya IN CHECK! I LOVED IT!!! Kenya was slaying as well and that is THE BEST she has ever looked at a reunion! Oh I cannot wait! I know it's a little short, but this has been a very solid season for them. A nice comeback season.

    I totally agree with you. I felt as the season went on and she got to know the ladies better she was just fine. It looks like she definitely defends herself against Kenya at the reunion, which is nice to see.

     

    The reunion looks more interesting than the season was.

  9. It's funny how concerned about building a friendship with Lisa, Erika appears to be now that Lisa knows she was talking [!@#$%^&*]. Lisa Rinna was not holding back last night and slightly won me back over by putting EVERYONE'S [!@#$%^&*] out there. Kathryn came off pretty damn obnoxious last night. I so wish Eileen wasn't team Yolanda. She even flat out said last night that Yolanda basically gets a pass for everything because she's sick.
