It's reality television in the 2010s so it was all probably semi-scripted in the first place. I do enjoy the show better when Brandi and Lisa are getting along and throwing shade together though so hopefully we end up back there. Ultimately, I'm watching the show to be entertained not to be annoyed. I was annoyed a lot last season.

Stay pressed y'all Also apparently Lisa had skin cancer. Her tweet from a minute ago... Fantastic news I have all clear for all biopsies after having experienced serious skin cancer,I urge you to get tested and hide from sun!

So, I just noticed Brandi and Lisa were more or less communicating on Twitter. Lisa did the ice bucket challenge then made three nominations and they were Brandi Glanville, Brandi Glanville and Brandi Glanville. Brandi then proceeded to do the challenge (with just ice) just once. So then I googled Lisa and Brandi to see what's been happening and apparently there's been a cease fire of sorts http://www.eonline.com/news/569061/brandi-glanville-and-lisa-vanderpump-mend-their-friendship-after-real-housewives-of-beverly-hills-s-fallout-all-the-details

Lisa has always been popular. Kyle doesn't gravitate to or away from her due to audience reaction. Lisa signed on for another season so she needs to at least semi get along with some of these women for filming sake and, well, Lisa was the one trying to crawl back up Kyle's behind last season. It was Kyle saying "Uhm, not so quick" in response. Twasn't the other way around.

Last season of RHOBH was nothing like say last season of Big Brother, only Brandi made racist comments and even she shut it down by a third of the season through. It also wasn't "I hate you because of your race" random ish, Brandi took a distaste to her after she ratted her/Yolanda out to Lisa and J/B just continued to rub each other the wrong way.

I'm sure if she fails to cotton to Lisa (long-term) like most of the cast fails to do (long term) in general she'll soon be considered haggard as well. I'm guessing if anything she'll be like that woman that hated Kyle with the passion of one million suns (I really just forgot her name) - somewhat neutral (besides on the subject of Kyle at least with that let go chick). All that noise aside, hopefully there are no teams this season as the general storyline direction needs a shift. I have no problem with Kim returning but she really should just be a friend. Camille should return in her place.

Re: Cheap on RHOBH. While I do see that there is a gang up on Lisa mentality on RHOBH, it doesn't make me feel like Lisa is a light. I feel like Lisa holds a grudge like no other in the cast and it's hard to penetrate. She wears her s--t way better than Nene but it's still s--t. It feels like you're getting nowhere and never will. I loathed Kyle for a few seasons but what I enjoyed about her this past season is she showed an ability to move on. Kyle will always have an issue with Lisa - they're both very alpha. I don't dislike any of the women on RHOBH but the main storylines are s--t: everyone has a problem with Lisa leading to indignant Lisa, Brandi puts her foot in her mouth and somebody whines about it for at least half the season. If they could somehow shift the storylines. For that, I could live without Lisa AND BRANDI in the cast. I'd like them both to be in the cast but I have no interest in the storylines and their storylines dominate. The series feels to me like NJ felt to me the season before last.

I'm going to assume Mario was joking (TMZ rumor) although I wouldn't really have an issue with Lisa not being on the series as the series needs some sort of reboot. Hopefully Andy is down with getting Camille back because she seems to be down with coming back (and also she had a night out with Kyle and Brandi the other day). She needs to at least be back on "friend" status.

The only reliable thing we know about RHOBH is what Lisa has said recently and that almost entirely gave the impression that she was asked back (and accepted) and she was just waiting for them to get stuff together with the rest of the casting decisions so filming could start. On rare occasion, TMZ tends to just pull stuff out of their behinds and this appears to be one of those times.

It makes me a little sad that I now find Kyle the least annoying of the RHOBH chicks. I feel like she's the only one that doesn't hold an epic grudge. She'll hate you to the core but she'll still play with you. The storylines need a shake-up: resentful housewives versus indignant Lisa as well as Brandi talking a little too much then whining about being a victim due to consequences of that. How they'll be able to accomplish that with Lisa and Brandi on the show (and I doubt those two or Kyle are going anywhere), I don't know. Hopefully the ladies are smart enough and Bravo is smart enough to somehow force/edit storyline shifts because it's really tired and tedious. It would be nice if Eddie relented and let the kids be on RHOBH particularly considering he'll now be doing a reality series with the step mother of his and Brandi's kids. I do think adding Camille back to the mix would be great. Joyce and Carlton are good firings if they have been fired. Joyce was both too "nice" and too boring for a show like RHOBH. Carlton's irrationality helped Kyle's image improve - work done. Maybe add an African American chick and Lisa Rinna to the mix. I was against Lisa in the past but why not.

My thoughts exactly. Unbelievable. I'm just ... Wow.

Not a clue myself. Andy hid it like a dirty secret he didn't want revealed. Andy is very much a Cynthia. IMO, he was (and probably IS) on Kenya's side but then saw public reaction and went along with public reaction which is fueled by almost a blind hatred for Kenya. Not all blind, but almost blind.

Not really. Without promo and without leaning off of Bravo's strongest lead-in, she pretty much matched the original (but recapish) airing of RHOA at 11 pm at night.

Does TVByTheNumbers have the numbers wrong? Because their numbers had Porsha getting almost 400,000 more viewers than Nene Nene http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2014/04/15/sunday-cable-ratings-game-of-thrones-wins-night-real-housewives-of-atlanta-mtv-movie-awards-silicon-valley-mad-men-drop-dead-diva-more/254110/ Porsha http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2014/05/06/sunday-cable-ratings-game-of-thrones-wins-night-real-housewives-of-atlanta-married-to-medicine-silicon-valley-more/260613/

T.I. confronts Apollo http://www.tmz.com/2014/05/09/ti-apollo-nida-video-plea-deal-informant-snitch-fraud-confrontation/?adid=hero5

It's sad that Kenya could barely out-wit Apollo and he has no wit. Nene didn't own anybody, even Kenya was handling her well. The $20,000 chit says more about Nene's sad new character than it does about Kenya's sad bank account. Phaedra guts her prey. It's unfortunate that Kenya is pretty much useless at face to face "live" combat because there were definitely ways to throw it back at Phaedra due to Apollo's existence.

As far as I remember once, Kenya was full-on with the dumb jokes but she didn't go in on calling Porsha a ho until a few seconds before she got dragged by the one who was throwing out the ho/slut comments like second nature.

"I SAID what I SAID!" (repeatedly) STFU gurl. Did they purposely screw with the audio in the "What's Next for Nene?" piece? I like. Apollo's ego is almost as over-inflated as Nene's. I hope his behind ends up in jail again.

IMO, nobody got served or whatever in the first scene of the second part of the reunion. Kenya probably "won" the segment by default of being the least immature of the group (outside of Cynthia). Nene, Phadra and Kandi came off looking like stupid shrews for their pushing-it defense of Porsha. Nene's fake sleeping came off as immature as the use of say ... props. She's lucky some stupid -itch didn't snap and drag her by her weave "for her antics." Cynthia "blows with the wind"? Cynthia would be easier served serving Nene like Nene wants. Everybody except Peter is Team Nene, and the majority of the fans are anti-Kenya.

I'm disappointed in Kandi for going along with that chit. Kenya is one of the biggest fakes I've ever seen on Bravo BUT these silly gurls gathering like a flock to support bullchit like that (first being the pajama party debacle being Kenya's fault instead of a turned up for no reason and instigating Nene's fault; AND, now, no, no Porsha didn't get turned up because Kenya was giving her a taste of her own medicine verbally, NO poor Porsha was just reacting to the threat of imminent violence) makes me root for Kenya.

This first look at RHOA Reunion Part 2 is annoying me. Meme - as well as Kandi and Phaedra - are acting like Porsha was just responding to the vicious attack of the horn and wand. Please gurls. Porsha got turned up because of Kenya bringing up the rumor and touching it up with some of the same language Porsha was using [on Kenya]. Props to Cynthia for not playing into that silly junk and putting out the fact that she didn't feel like there was a threat to her OR PORSHA due to the props.

People are simplifying the situation as if they only watched a 30 second video of the event which I'm guessing most did. Crazy -itch has a horn and a wand. -itch is crazy. I probably would have flipped, too, if some crazy -itch was all up in my face. What actually happened isn't that simple. Kenya had props, sure. Kenya was being obnoxious, sure. That said, Kenya was taking many insults from all of these women - in fact, most of the women were hitting low first - and SHE didn't resort to violence to handle it. Porsha was dishing it out to Kenya a helluva lot before Kenya went in on her about rumors.

I don't think there's much bullying on this shows. There's a lot of shading and out-shading. I do think Kenya and Patricia ganged up on Porsha in Mexico but Kenya and Porsha's overall relationship is not one that I would ever really qualify as bully and victim in general. For most of the season, there was some light shade between the two women (a tiny bit more from Kenya than from Porsha) and an overall improvement in their relationship. There were two very poor moments - Mexico, and the reunion. It would have been great if they could have actually become certified frenemies. I liked the vibe between the two when Porsha wasn't going along with the group-think (Nene's sleep over debacle) and Kenya simmered down a bit on her Porsha "readings."

Well, I was responding to the comment I quoted from you, which sounds like it may be referring to the "twin" and not the actual Kenya shown on RHOA.
