Showing that flashback of Brandi from season 2 was a mistake last episode, that bitch has DESTROYED and continues to destroy her face.

Here's the intro for anyone that hasn't seen it. Ramona and Carole definitely have the worst ones.

I don't think I'll be able to sit through that for every episode. I mean there have been some bad lines in the past but...wow. So weird not having Luann in the opening.

To me maintenance isn't necessarily replacing people as much as it's keeping watch on tone and storylines. Atlanta seems to have done a better job at this than most of the shows, especially this season. RHOBH seems to have all their storylines take place offcamera. It's strange.

I actually agree with that. I feel as though the BH women are very much about protecting their "brands" outside of the show, that they do most of their dirty work in the downtime.

This is actually the second time Atlanta has kept the exact same cast from one season into the next(I don't even count Kim as a part of season 5). They typically don't do a ton of maintenance on ATL as opposed to OC, which has always had a high turnover.

Omg, Eric you're joking right?!

I honestly blame Bethenny lol. As much as I loved her back in the day, she made it popular to be the "witty, voice of the audience" and housewives have been trying desperately since then to do the same. I find Lisa to be one of the few to do it well.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have NEVER seen 'Have an Oreo' outside of Cheap's gif.

LOVE.

That solidified my love of Heather Dubrow FOREVER.

I do t think she's this awful, evil person.

But I do think she believes she's better than people, she talks down to people, she insults them as a joke, makes digs and denies all of this and believes she's just the sweetest most kind person ever.

It's hard to be around people like that because they are not awful and evil so they can play innocent.

Every single Housewife on every franchise is paid thousands of dollars to do this though. The shows literally revolve around the women talking [!@#$%^&*] and making digs at one another.

What's interesting is even though you have all these scenes of people talking about how awful Lisa is, she has given production absolutely nothing to work with to show it. We know the producers are the first to jump on showing evidence of these wives being the devil, but they literally have no filmed proof at all. It's literally all talk from the other ladies, thus making them look even more pitiful.

This BH season has truly been awful. What exactly has been the storyline?

In Nene's own words, "Bloop." Production just owned that bitch.

Lol, I don't Twitter so I guess that's supposed to be some big diss to the other side. If I had a falling out with someone, I wouldn't want to unfollow them as I'd be nosy to know what type of sh-t and shade they are writing about me

Right?!

I'll have to rewatch later but wasnt it Kyle that brought that up and tried to make it an issue which Lisa commented on and brushed it off. Almost seemed like she was being set up to talk shady, which she didnt

Because it WAS Kyle that tried to make something of it, Lisa didn't care.

Lisa wasn't offended to not be invited to DAVID's daughter's wedding. She's not even close with David. And to make a big deal out of her inviting Mohammad to the party WAS desperate. Yolanda is only on the show due to Lisa and Ken's friendship with Mohammad. Even if Mohammad was hosting at his own house, of course they would still send him an invite as a formality and a sign of respect for their friendship. And I dunno if you guys caught it, but Mohammad himself quickly shut down Yolanda when she started trying to talk [!@#$%^&*] about Lisa.

I met Dr. Jackie today at work, she's close with my boss and his wife. She's sooo short, but very friendly.

So watching Brandi spend an entire episode complaining about Lisa, when all that's ever been shown is Lisa supporting that trashbox was quite pathetic. And watching Splits Richards literally salivating at Brandi hating on Lisa was again pathetic but expected.

I just don't get Brandi's angle or goal. They've been trying to take Lisa down since freakin season 2 and it NEVER works. The more they try to paint her in a bad light, the more it backfires...Lisa is too smart and savvy to be taken down by classless Brandi and those washed up Richards sisters.

I want to watch RHoA SO bad! But I'm at work. I can't believe this thread blew up just like it did two weeks ago -- but even better, that nobody went BSC. This is prob why I love posting here. Even when I post dumb [!@#$%^&*] and am called out on it, it isn't mean or personal.

That pic of Christopher grabbing Kenya right in front of Nene's eyes-on-stalks speaks volumes. I really hope Andy does not let any of these women duck from answering some tough questions about how acceptable it is for a man to lay hands on a woman. I mean, if the cameras and production staff hadn't been there, how exactly would this have gone down? Is production exacerbating the situation or acting as a break on some of these guys to really beat the [!@#$%^&*] out of somebody? I think one of the reasons I am so appalled at Apollo is that he was punching Brandon because Brandon was a stand-in for Kenya. I'm sure he was sore at Kenya for exposing his texts to the world and he was getting his frustration out on him.

Yes you're right @jennymccarthy, production orchestrated Scheana to be there,I objected & they insisted..it is what it is @BravoWWHL #wwhl

bloop!

Finally watching...This is not a good look for Cynthia, not one bit. Say what you will about Phaedra, but I do love that she and Kandi have a truly genuine friendship off camera and it shows onscreen.

Um why the !@#$%^&*] did Mal jump in at all?

That's great JP, I was just letting Cheap know I disagreed with her assessment on that front. I'm also a gay black man, just throwing it out there before I get labeled anything.

Well I wouldn't call Brandon masculine myself, but I do agree with what you're saying Cheap.

Woooow, that's a great start to the second half right there!

I was truly shocked that I didn't hate this episode. It was definitely better than those two Governor episodes.

I haven't watched last night's episode or WWHL yet, but this recap of Kenya's appearance is glorious.

I don't even know what Brandi sought to gain from putting that out there. She seriously needs to hire a PR team to tell her to just shut the !@#$%^&*] up.

I've barely kept up with this season of BH. It has truly bordered on unwatchable, and with Atlanta having such a great season it's really highlighted how shitty BH has been.

I have absolutely NO desire to see CR carrying an entire show! I will just have to suck it up

I feel the same way.
