Bravo favored BH and let a lot of bad behavior slide. Not just the toxic stuff (puppygate; the bots going after Garcelle's son), but just pure laziness. These women were allowed to hide real scandals with fake SLs. Also, Crystal recently said on her podcast that when it came to Bravocon, one of the BH cast told her (I'm paraphrasing) that the BH cast must keep its distance from the other RHs, because presumably they are the crown jewels. It sounds like something Erika or Rinna would say. They really thought their sh!t didn't stink. Meanwhile SLC continues to kick ass. I am enjoying it so much! Thoughts coming later. BH by contrast... that opener was carried entirely by Rachel Zoe, who is a STAR and knows the assignment. When she told Kyle someone tried to set her up with Mo in Aspen "but, of course, I would never," I gasped. Yes, Rachel, let her know she can't be too smug around you. But apart from THEE Rachel Zoe, nobody else is bringing it. The Garcelle talk infuriated me. These women can't operate without sneering at LVP or Garcelle -- another sign of pure laziness. Whoever is styling Boz this year...😬

She implied that if you paid for her Patreon, she'd reveal all the deets behind a paywall. Someone did pay and apparently confirmed that there had been infidelity on Juan's part, which Robyn didn't really care about. Then Robyn had to do that cringe WWHL one-on-one with Andy where she acted smug and unserious. She stayed on RHOP another season, but I believe the die was cast by that awful WWHL interview. I would agree that since she left, RHOP has not missed a beat. I thought Candiace's absence would also have an impact, but I haven't missed her grumpiness either. But at least I understand Candiace's reason's for being grumpy. Robyn's current attitude towards production, when they gave her chance after chance to propagate her SL, is mystifying to me. She bit the hand that fed her.

I remember her back in the dayas Lindsay Lohan's stylist. She looks by far to be the best thing about this new season. God knows I can't stand seeing Kyle, Sutton, Erika, Dorit, Boz....

Got to give it to Porsha, she is carrying RHOA as we know it. Im suddenly ready for the new season.

Lest we forget, Bravo was Robyn's one paycheck, and she still decided to play her bosses for fools by pushing a fake remarriage SL while keeping Juan's affair for her Patreon. Cheered on by her bestie Gizelle. Hope it was worth it! At some point, Robyn has to take accountability for her actions in precipitating her departure from the show.

The Kandi & Todd news was unexpected. I assumed, given their arrangements, that they were in a contented place, even if he seemed resentful on the show about her money and power. As for other news, I'm just disappointed that Bravo did not go the route of finally uniting RHONY OGs with some of the newbies. That was a damp squid of an announcement. Bravocon also confirmed how much I can't stomach Erika. She's mean-spirited and dark. Calling Angie the hairy one and pretending not to know her name smacks of insecurity, because SLC has basically been elevated to RH's watercooler franchise, while BH is old, tattered baggage.

She is ruthlessly toxic, a user through-and-through. Gordon should take accountability for his decisions, of course, but think about how far she has dragged him down. From thriving businessman to misappropriating funds (which were going to her, of course), fired from the family biz, a bipolar diagnosis, not to mention the humiliation and cruelty of the side-boyfriend and son's paternity. May he continue to prioritise his and his children's welfare, because Mia is only going to use those kids as bargaining chips.

Revenge is a dish best served cold...

Re: Jen Shah, I don't know if I want to tempt fate. This isn't Teresa Giudice paying cash for tacky furniture here. Shah is ruthless. I'm biased because I always disliked her. She fouled up the show from the get. I stopped watching S2 and S3 because I was so annoyed at her fake piety and poor-me show. SLC has moved on, beautifully, and is far better without her. It won't be just one episode either, because she will be lobbying hard to get back on the show permanently, and she will have Heather, Whitney and Meredith pushing for it because Jen Shah is an easy SL for them.

She'd better stay away from the best RH franchise of 2025.

Potomac was never that aspirational franchise. It was about the squeezed middle class. Im glad it staked out that corner for itself -- not all the shows need to pretend to be BH or Miami, and Potomac was all the more authentic for it. Wendy probably wanted the 'wealth' element to lord it over the other women and differentiate herself from, say, Robyn or Ashley. She always came off as unconvincing when she tried to flaunt her things.

You would have thought that a 'legal team' with ~at least~ 3 degrees within it would have concocted a better worded statement than that. Also, they are claiming they are being unfairly targeted by the authorities after the media uncovers 40 credit cards set up under different aliases??

I figured we'd be seeing a Mia Thornton mugshot one day.... However, this was not the crime I thought she'd be charged with! Nevertheless, it tracks. As DaytimeFan said, grifters gotta grift. Is she still with her DJ? Of course Erika would surround herself with a scamming lawyer and "two former Secret Service agents" involved in illegally co-opting money to fund her lifestyle. It's not just that she attracts that kind of person, it's that she is actively looking for someone to scam on her behalf.

So, there is a rumor going around that a new RHONY cast will be announced at BravoCon -- Jessel, Sai, Erin will be paired with (drumroll please) Luann, Sonja, Dorinda and Carole! I figured this was wishful thinking... until I saw this appear on my timeline today: In Miami news: what is happening in the universe?? Looks like Julia got thrown over.

I think you should watch the opening episode of Vancouver which is a masterclass in how to introduce some truly compelling HWs. It reminded me a little of early-years BH when I first watched. Wealth, status and a few dark secrets. Jody is literally evil incarnate (im not joking) but neither is she an all-powerful Rinna or Kyle type. The other HWs are onto her game pretty early on. Melbourne-- i don't need to pitch you that show. You know it's comedy gold.

I prefer the coloring scheme in the new photo; I'm also thankful BH was not rewarded with new photos. Nevertheless, the photoshop on that pic is not great. The heads have been angled weirdly, and are a touch too large on top of their bodies. Sutton, Erika and Dorit are especially noticeable. Or perhaps this is just Ozempic. The way Sutton blithely dumped Garcelle for a chance to kiss Kyle and Erika's ass, I'm happy to see Jennifer Tilly not putting up with her selfishness. Let's see whether Amanda goes the distance with holding Erika to account, or whether she folds against a barrage of nastiness like Kathryn, Dorit, Teddi, and Sutton before her.

Sutton is barely in this trailer. It's like she's been erased by the two new blondes. Same old same old SLs with Erika and Kyle. https://x.com/queensofbravo/status/1985784384235192571

That OC finale music really strikes a chord, of time passing, and relationships changing, and HWs coming to terms with that change. I am instantly transported to Jeana clutching her eye after Tamra threw a drink at it. BH also had an iconic finale music. Takes me right back to Kim Richards, the back of a limo, golden-era LVP, Taylor Armstrong and dark secrets. I can't even remember if they use it anymore, that franchise has gone so far downhill. It would be great if SLC could secure excellent finale music, but maybe it's not that kind of show. It doesn't have that current of melancholy or painful secrets running through it. ETA: Here they are

Wait a minute..... wasn't Matt Clark originally played by the lush 90s babes that were Eddie Cibrian and Rick Hearst? 👀

RHOC reunion looks! The fact that the OC women tend to conform in all things fashion is actually one of the unique things about this franchise. The only 'standout,' if I can put it like that, is Shannon, an 80-year-old dressed as Shirley Temple. IMO, Emily, Tamra and Katie look great. 20 years in, and Gretchen continues to SWF Tamra's look. Gina's dress is phenomenal TBH.

Ugh, why am I so behind on RHs? I've finished Miami (I'm going to miss those girls), but I'm about 3 episodes behind on London, 2 behind on Potomac, 2 behind on SLC, and about 25 episodes behind on OC. Catching up as fast as I can, but I also want to savour them. In the meantime, enjoy this map of where the Real Housewives of Miami, OC and SLC actually live. Kiki LOL.

It is not. But neither is WWHL and she is gracing it with her presence. I just love the fact that she and Luann seem to be having a laughi together.

This is literally the pairing I did not know i needed in my life! Why are La Lucci and the Countess so perfect together? I need a Hamptons spin-off with the two of them.

Those people online are quite often 'Rinna fans,' and given Rinna's fingerprints were all over the hate-bots attacking Jax mess, I'm side-eyeing this sudden surge in Garcelle haters claiming she was 'boring,' 'brought nothing to the show,' 'the friendship with Sutton was fake,' etc. I loved Garcelle from the get, she brought something grounded and honest to this highly self-produced show. As she pointed out many times, there are deals done between the Coven about what to talk about and distract the audience with in order to hide dirty secrets. Garcelle was often asking the questions on the show that Andy Cohen was tiptoeing away from. The fact that the main cast never really accepted her, she could feel it, and as a viewer I felt it, too. Erika's hatred for Garcelle was especially visceral and I'm not surprised with what Garcelle said about her this week. It is a fact: Erika was a b!tch to her face. Garcelle looked absolutely gorgeous on WWHL and the sad, haunted look in her eyes has gone. She seems reconciled with life and much happier with where it is going. I felt a pang when she talked about the now-dead friendship with Sutton, but only because Garcelle was acknowledging the hurt and emotional sacrifice she made being on the show. One thing I didn't expect was how Andy hung onto her every word, it's actually quite rare to see him treat a HW with lowkey reverence. And as everyone here has pointed out, Sutton was a fool to choose these vapid witches over her truest friend. She will pay the price for that this season, no doubt about it. And so will Boz when she is no longer of use.

It's been a while some we had some good tags. Stacey, Angel and Tia. 🙌 Oh, Wendy., lol.
