Celebrity Apprentice update...

These are pictures from Tuesday.

They were, I assume, doing some promo competition for an Ivanka Trump venture (her name is on the truck). The other team (Shawn, Kate, Vivica) had a white truck.

2.5 pages since last night?

I'm on the first .5.

Nene on DWTS.

Derek and Nene's dance reminded me why I have grown to dislike Derek. He literally had Nene standing there throwing her arms around and sliding like any 3 year old could. I almost found it offensive. Her dance last week was much better. Derek as usual, "covering" his partners perceived flaws instead of doing, say, what Mark did with Amy. Nene is so "big" (stature, personality) that I barely noticed Derek desperately dancing around her but that he was doing.

I'm actually enjoying DWTS this year after taking a few seasons off. One episode a week is a good fit for it.

Kenya vs. Everybody Else on RHOA

For once, I actually don't believe TMZ.

Kandi's Dress...

It's al'ight except for the 6 feet on the floor. Could have been better.

Joyce's sourpuss? Sigh. lol I would have ran fast if I was Todd.

Nene seems a bit over the moon about her new DWTS partner. If she makes it past this week, what are the odds that she won't make Tony feel not up to standards? Hehe. I don't think Nene is a bad dancer by any means but she is one of the weaker dancers this season (this season has a lot of exceptional dancers), if her new partner can make this one of the top dances of the night he truly is the greatest DWTS professional dancer/choreographer ever.

Not sure how an animal lover could laugh at that but then I generally don't even cry when family members die so what would I know. Animals < everyone else.

I think some of the reactions in here are a little extra. IDK.

There were some people that cried with Kenya. Some people thought Kenya was making it up. So what? Most try-hard reality stars would get the same side eye. Some people laughed. It's hard to deny there was an element of Bravo playing this for comedy. Some people thought Kenya was being OTT. Uhm, even when it's not about an allegedly dead dog, Kenya is usually being OTT to the point of acting. Some people made jokes (Phaedra planning the memorial) because of some of the aforementioned reasons.

I've cried like a little bitch over a bitch or two in my life, so I would generally not laugh at a situation like that UNLESS you add some of the ingredients that were included in this situation.

I can't deny it, I did laugh at the situation with Kenya. I'm not proud of that. I love animals. IMO, they were sort of semi playing it for laughs. I feel her on the dog if she didn't make up the story but it just all seemed so animated (read: extra).

Nene and her room of yes-people feeding her delusions of grandeur? Uhm, yeah ... no.

I dont want to be spoiled about Kenya and Brandi getting fired. The downside to social media when I dont want to be nosy. LOL!

Is it even possible to not find out with the fact that all of us in here follow RH news somewhat closely? With some social media ninja like skills.

Looks like they already mixed (male-female) the teams on Celebrity Apprentice: (Not-Really)House(owners or)wives Edition...

On the other team, along with the following two it appears Shawn Johnson, Lorenzo Llamas and Vivica Fox are still still in the mix...

I'm for sure that Keisha (Rudy) has been fired by the wig. Kevin Jonas re-tweeted Kenya about this wedding stuff. Sig Hansen re-tweeted Kate. Not a peep about wedding stuff from Jamie Anderson and Gilbert Gottfried.

i wouldn't mind that at all. But I liked Carlton. And she is the perfect foil to Kyle. I think there could be some great mileage to a rivalry between the two.

It's not really a rivalry. Carlton is off her rocker when it comes to Kyle. That's the reason she helps Kyle's image.

I just read Carlton's blog. She is so miserable and hateful. Be gone witch!

Speaking of Mr. Cohen I think its obvious that he feels very threatened by Lisa. He knows Lisa is practically the main draw of this show now. Without Camille, Adrienne, or hot mess Taylor there, Beverly Hills has lost a lot of the cha ching and glamour that originally launched the series. No one is tuning in to see Kingsley .No one is tuning in to see Yolanda and her lemons. Not a single person is interested in seeing Brandi expose her coouchie crack one more time on national television or hurl the f bomb at yet another unsuspecting housewife.

Will BH be cancelled without Lisa? Probably not but it would def lose the majority of viewers including me. Thats why Andy was going so hard on her and to me it was very obvious and pretty disrespectful of him.

Except for Adrienne, none of the "fired"/"retired" women are any more class-ified or money-fied than the current cast. Camille, Taylor married into money and would be classified as social climbers like quite a few of the women currently on the cast. They lost money with Adrienne but most people barely remember her name. Camille's shady-a-- was fun and they lost that but IMO they could IMO get her back if they wanted her back.

Andy has always gone hard on Lisa at the reunions. Maybe she rubbed him the wrong way early on OR maybe he just likes Kyle better. OR maybe he just likes chit stirring.

Lisa is doing nothing for BH ratings, whether or not she has enemies. Same goes for all the women. Bravo could put 6 nicely designed boiled eggs as the cast of RHOBH and get about the same ratings it does - read: RHONY, RHOOC, etc... The show will survive with about the same ratings it has without Lisa, without Brandi, without Kyle, etc... It's not like RHOBH has ever come close to challenging RHOA or RHONJ except in terms of buzz.

Maybe Lisa can forgive? Okay, Maybe Brandi can forgive, too. A lot is said about Brandi's ability or inability to be a good friend, but Lisa surely lacks in that department as well. It's really how you handle the tougher times that speak even louder than what goes on in the good times.

Lisa's blog...

Unfortunately when Brandi entered my world, Scheana was already part of it. She had worked for me for three years and was already cast for Vanderpump Rules before Brandi was ever a Housewife and before we knew of any connection. Maybe if the tables were turned, I would not have befriended me when I joined the the show, as obviously the chance of crossing paths with her were much higher. But when Brandi started with Housewives I was the only one who was supportive of her.

To have someone who is so principally minded, so loyal, on your side is the greatest comfort of all. Brandi had that with him, too, and she knew it and she blew it. For someone to protect you against others is reassuring when you don't always make the best choices. Not many would put themselves in that position. He countless times, almost to the point of compromising his own integrity, went out on a limb for her.

When Brandi came on to this series part-time the majority of the other women were plotting Lisa's demise. Brandi wasn't the only one without "friends." Lisa is rewriting history like she and Ken were Brandi's great protector when she came on the show. Nah. Lisa initially believed Kyle and Kim about Brandi. Brandi & Lisa got along when Lisa got to know Brandi a little better but it's not like they were that close. Brandi flirted with Ken whenever she got a chance and they laughed about it. End of story. Lisa latched on after the first reunion. What happened at that reunion? Brandi had Lisa's back against everybody there and BFF Kyle dared to speak against the Queen Bee (okay, it was more than that with Kyle - she had clearly joined with Adrienne, etc to nail Lisa BUT still).

Lisa acting like Brandi was a liability she "adopted" as a friend from the start when the aforementioned is accurate and when she was very, very happy with Brandi taking on [Lisa's] enemies [for her]? Ugh. Lisa and Ken weren't the only ones putting their neck on the line to back up a women a lot of people had problems with.

^^^ Brandi clearly isn't the only one rewriting history and coming up with some utter pitiful BS.

Re: Scheana. Lisa needs to be honest about this chit, too. She's clearly closer to Scheana then she lets on - more family friend than employee. It's her right, but don't be a yo-yo about the issue just to try to win sympathy or an argument. Own it.

Yolanda trying to quiet Joyce and Carlton as not wanting to interrupt any onslaught coming in my direction. She was almost salivating at Kyle's aggression towards me. She herself has said many derogatory remarks about me over this season, and I maybe should have believed Kyle and Joyce when they tried to alert me that her intentions were less than good. But now coupled with her performance at the finale party I have clarity.

Heh. Yolanda is really not here for Lisa - and in a different way that Kyle and Brandi. Yolanda DGAF what she thinks. She just enjoys seeing her dragged because she honestly thinks she deserves it.

Brandi.... certainly knows how to work those tears. Fake fake tears when she's in trouble.

The only ones I thought exhibited real tears and emotion for most of that reunion are Brandi and Ken. Brandi is a bit of a messy train-wreck but she keeps it real - outside of the fillers - on an emotional level.

Ika did get evicted after that. This reminds me of why I hate BB, it can be too damn addictive. Hopefully it's a newbie season in the US so I don't get sucked back in.

I thought the point of the sitdown 2 years ago would be so that they could move on and that this wouldn’t keep being such a recurring issue bc they are in the same circle.

It's kind of like Santa Clause with this. Some think Santa brings them gifts on his flying sled, most people know Santa does not exist.The point of that sit-down was to launch Lisa's show with a bang. The point was not to magically make Brandi cool with one of the f--k buddies of the father of her children. One minute we're blaming production for Lisa bringing Scheana to all taped events where Brandi is (despite Lisa staffing dozens of employees), the next minute it's Lisa doing her best to make peace.

Lisa likes Scheana, possibly a lot - as I think Lisa's daughter and Scheana are besties. Brandi's having a tough time processing what that has meant concerning her relationship with Lisa. She also felt Lisa turned her back on her when the going got tough (read: when Brandi got real messy). Brandi's been immature - and a bit OTT (friends influence friends about people they don't like - it's not manipulation. It's normal!) - but I don't think either of those aforementioned reflections or observations is anywhere near delusional. Lisa also has valid points - now and during the season. Brandi was treating her like the mother she hated for a while and Brandi's been lashing out at her since.

It is what it is. I do hope they can work through it and one day be friends again but I'm also okay if that doesn't happen. I'm sure they'll both be okay if that doesn't happen, as well. It's just all fresh right now. You can't really count anything out. Kim and Brandi are probably closer than any non-related people on that cast right now. Strange things do happen.

Nene's got a taste of reality with her dalliances into professional acting. She ain't going anywhere. She'll ride this wave until the ratings start tanking.

And if Kim isn't going to film full time she needs to stay gone. No half stepping this time around. I need her in the drama and being messy like she used to be.

Full time Kim with this cast would just be ... dayum!

Dayum, Eric. LMAO.

I'm saying that Brandi is use to having Ken being on her side. For him to be her opposition is shocking and rattling to her. I'm not saying that she expects him to have her back, but she would've loved for Ken to be neutral; however, he isn't going to be. At the end of the day, Ken is going to side with his Queen. That bothers Brandi because she realizes that because she no longer has Lisa, she no longer has Ken either. They are a package deal.

Brandi may be a lot of things but she's not a complete idiot. We're not talking about Hollywood friends, we're talking about husband and wife. I don't think she was expecting Ken to be neutral at all ... just less definitive. I think she did/does love him. It hurt her for him to tell her what he initially did in those terms.

The threat of being iced out by Lisa/Ken. No greater downfall can a human face.

*drip* *drip* *drip*

because Andy has a hard on for Brandi and her stupid ass antics. If you're gonna be a host, be neutral--something Andy can't seen to do anymore.

Andy does not have a hard on for Brandi in term of favoritism at least. I think he likes that she's got a big mouth and he likes that she TAKES IT but that means he's also often dishing it out to her. Andy's always been hardest on Lisa at reunions for RHOBH. His soft touch has usually gone to Kyle. That goes as far back as Season 2. I remember being shocked by it.

Lisa brought up the past many times both during the season and on the reunion. Kyles problem is she and Lisa never actually dealt with the past and moved on. Lisa just says to do so the. Brings it up herself but then tells Kyle it's over.

The problem is neither Kyle or Lisa will ever truly apologize to each other. They're going to be frenemies as long as this series airs. Lisa thinks Kyle is in the wrong and is lucky that [Lisa] had decided to give her a second chance; Kyle, IMO, knows she did some messed up things and thinks she's apologized enough and she will not apologize anymore and expects a sincere apology back if Lisa wants her back. Lisa won't really want Kyle back enough to attempt to sincerely apologize unless Kyle is a yes-woman and Kyle ain't about to do that.

There's no question that Lisa was using the Scheana/Brandi dynamic as a jumping board. The only question is when did it start.

Her final words said it all--at this point, she only cares Joyce and Carlton.

Lisa will forget Carlton, and especially Joyce, ever existed by ... probably already PARTICULARLY if they're both fired which is somewhat likely.

YoLyme and Brandi will get the same and it'll kill them. Especially Brandi.

And Kyle is just pressed because regardless, the mass amount of fans still side with Lisa; she said it herself tonight (Kyle), and it kills her to the core.

Yolanda could give zero f--ks about Lisa liking her or not. She hasn't really liked Lisa since some time last season. I think it's arguable that she dislikes Lisa more than any other woman on the cast dislikes Lisa for some reason. It's definitely not an "I love you, but I hate you" dislike, it's a "I'm so much better off without people like you in my real circle" dislike.

IMO, Kyle as well. Kyle dislikes Lisa as much as Lisa dislikes her (they love to sort of hate each other). For as much as some of us talk about Lisa's ice-outs, Kyle could have had Lisa back many times over this season if she played a yes-woman to Lisa but Kyle never fully walked back into it.

Brandi does care. For all Lisa's talk and tweeting, she hasn't done to Brandi the cold thing she did to Kyle face to face. Maybe she will. Maybe she won't. I don't think it'll make or break Brandi, she's okay with most of the cast otherwise.

There is far more love than hate between Brandi and Lisa/Ken. Her line about it not being nice to be dropped and needing someone to stick around was so sad.

I told y'all not to count out the Lisa/Brandi dynamic. Most did and swore Lisa was so above her it beyond repair. Yeah, nope.

The dynamic there is on point in terms of love-hate-pull-push drama. Now, just leave your faces alone so you can be Bold & Beautiful! I'm discussing this like it's fictional television, hehe.

I only watched about 4-5 minutes of the reunion (will watch it on rerun), but did catch a good bit of the crying at the end.

Fanatics (that kind of make me want to hate Lisa) aside, I really do hope the ladies can work it out and reunite at some point down the road. There is clearly love there on both sides.

Keep your hands to yourself. My 4 year old understands that.

Press those charges. Brandon should have pressed charges against appolo.

This weeks RHOA wasn't exciting but I didn't find it boring. It needs episodes like this to balance out all the high drama IMO.

Kenya is often just an obnoxious try hard and I can understand wanting to punch her but I totally agree. Putting your hands on somebody is falling to the lowest denominator. Apollo, Porferrari can get to steppin' behind bars.

ETA:

DWTS.

Nene. She was really good tonight. There are a lot of good dancers this year so I don't know how far that will get her, but props.

TMZ got their hands on Kenya's 911 call after the fight.

http://www.tmz.com/videos/0_rbhryh5q/

thats real rich considering she spent the last 6 years talking down to and diminishing other women (and men). Hypocritical coward

Yep, that was basically my Twitter response after seeing that tweet. She's been the ring-leader of that type of chit.

I no longer want 2 b a part of something where u r constantly talked down 2 & ur character being diminished! No amount of money is worth it

I'm not sure if this has been posted here yet. The trailer to Kandi's musical:

Oh, Kenya.

I had to look it up kind of like Brandi had to look up Bobby Fischer.

I bet Kenya slayed her ass with words and she couldn't take it anymore.

Kenya's pretty weak in "battle" without practice to the point that I think even whatshername could potentially outwit her. Kenya's other downfall in arguments is that she usually comes off so practiced,

I'm surprised Nene agreed to stay this late. I didn't even think she'd go at all.

I think she knows deep down she's getting anything she gets from RHOA. It's part of the reason she's going so hard at Kenya. She want to be Queen of the series that gets higher ratings than most NBC shows.

Love u @Porsha4real

Nene is basically confirming this story with that. The only question that remains is "how violent was it?"
