OH MY GOD There won't be a Countess at Reunion either. For the second year running. ETA: Seriously tho I'm sorry about the tix. I was dying to hear all your tea from #CAF!

What I don't understand is: what did they cut out? And why? Was this all Jill Zarin scenes? Did Bethenny throw a hissy about Jill being there? It feels like this was all set to be 18 episodes and a nice slow burn, and then around ep 10, they told the ladies to wrap it up quick. OTOH I am happy they didn't try to force them to stretch out the season. OTO, I feel like short seasons are for shows struggling to find their feet, like NJ after Teresa came back or early Potomac. It makes me worried because this is RHONY! It is a slow burn but always builds to a good pay-off. Also, WTH is going on with Ramona? She seems totally over it and most of her life is happening off screen. I wanted to see her and Mario more, and the snog with Harry Dubin. (Well, I saw the pics, don't need to see a close-up of those eel tongues, but you know what I mean). Potomac: God, Karen gives me so much life. And I love the background music they use for this show. I liked seeing Katie again. I felt she was dismissed too hastily in S1 and IMO she has enough crazy to warrant a place on this show. Especially if Robyn hasn't got much going on, and Candiace wants to remain on the show. Ugh that song! Ashley and Michael are so performative with their relationship. Next week in NOLA looks really good! Well, at least you busted the scoundrel who thought they could make up sh!t about you without consequences. What a shitty thing to do to you.

So RHONY filmed their reunion on Friday. I feel like this season has just started -- we are only at episode 11 -- so it feels way too early for Reunion time. Is it a shortened season this year? IMO the cameras could show up in any of these women's lives at any point during the year, and always be able to find something RH-worthy to film. Anyway, here was the seating arrangement. I would have swapped Sonja for Tinsley as I don't think Sonja deserves to be at the end of the couch. In sad news, Mama Elsa of Real Housewives of Miami fame was buried this weekend. Many of the HWs showed up at the funeral (which they obviously mistook for a catwalk). It was nice to see Marysol, Alexia, Adriana and Whatsherfaces who was married to the plastic surgeon. Miami was great. Mama Elsa was the best character in the cast IMO, and the show was never the same after her stroke. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-7042953/RHOM-rally-Marysol-Patton-mother-Mama-Elsas-funeral-South-Florida.html

I don't think it is only LVP 'stans' who are pointing out the holes in this... SL? Takedown? Dorit, Teddi and Kyle's story keeps changing, but LVP's denial has been consistent and unequivocal (unlike in S6 when she was basically caught red-handed and prevaricated about what she did or didn't say). I also don't think LA restaurant-owner LVP has more power than TMZ or ROL. They could blow this whole thing wide open and expose her and get the clicks. But they haven't. In fact, they keep saying her camp did not leak. Why bother covering for her? I really do hope the new BH without LVP has with a new energy, because the last 3-4 seasons have been awful. But if you think there is no game-playing and backstabbing going on, look again. Rinna and Erika have silently designated Camille as the next target. They aren't too pleased about PK kissing up to the Todds, either, and Kyle has it out for Dorit. If I were Teddi, I wouldn't feel too secure in my standing with Erika. The more things change, the more things stay the same. First of all -- it is so great seeing Wendy energised and invested for the first time in over 2 years. It has been a long journey, and I thought she was going into freefall and about to lose her show. But she clawed her way back and is getting rid of that free-loading hubby! I'm so glad for her and hope she comes out the other side a winner. Secondly, creamy yellow really is Karen Huger's color. She looks phenomenal, and I loved what she said about having to be careful with money when the money troubles started. Karen is a little crazy and delusional sometimes, but not here. She was perfect, and open about her own failings and vulnerabilities, and that makes her a true Grande Dame. Wendy really seemed taken with her. I'm so glad Potomac is on the pop culture radar because it is a fab show. I don't usually like RH weddings, but Candiace's wedding was so gorgeously filmed with that diffuse East Coast light, and there was so much going on with the cast interactions, that I was gripped from start to finish. Ugh that sucks that you had to go through something like that. I understand the need for validation for your own peace of mind. Some people take unfounded gossip as fact, so I'm glad you had an opportunity to vindicate yourself and put that to bed.

TBH I am enjoying this season more than the previous couple of years. Why? Because for once everything is laid out on the table. We aren't watching some petty proxy war about Erika's underpants. These women want to expose LVP once and for all, and for that I am grateful, because they expose their own asses while they're at it. These women all use the media(s) to brief against the other, control the narrative and destroy reputations. Ok! Well, then time to stop playing innocent victim. Time to prove yourselves as entertaining HWs worthy of the franchise. I actually do want them to 'prove me wrong' and entertain me, instead of solemnly lecturing to me in their VTs and on Twitter. LVP doing the lie detector test -- what a sleight of hand. She blindsided her cast members Tuesday night, and the fact that Bravo kept that secret all these months says something about production hedging their bets. They knew this was a boss move. IA with @DaytimeFan -- LVP will not be back next season. She is isolated and reviled by the others. This is the last play for this group. Fans may be watching, but many of us are watching for a last resolution to the last 4 poor seasons. It simply cannot continue like this. They all want to ruin each other in the court of public opinion. Sure, that is the name of the RH game, but it feels especially vicious, scorched-earth and personal here. LVP has lost the joy she used to emanate (as that S1 clip illustrated). For that matter, so has Erika. For this reason, LVP absolutely MUST attend reunion. If she blows it off, then (it pains me to say it) she should be fired. Contractually, Adrienne was fired for doing the same (I don't count NJ Jacqueline because nobody missed her whining). It also sets a precedent. If LVP skips it and comes back next season, HWs across the shows will do the same in order to avoid accountability. Can you imagine OC reunions without Vicki during those Brooks years?? No! Vicki manned up with some Xanax and showed up. She faced up to horrific mistakes in judgement. Reunion can be cathartic, for them and for us. It is also an opportunity for those on the back foot to surprise the audience and turn things around. That is what I expect will happen with LVP. She is well paid and has built a brand thanks to Bravo; one day of questions is a small price to pay. And she can hold others to account, too. She has kept a consistent message/defence this year while others have changed their story. She's got this. She is the key to closure of this whole mess, the last four seasons of BS. After that, let the chips fall where they may as far as BH is concerned: LVP can count her advertising dollars from VPR.

Ohmygod. That was.... When Somja tripped up on "the horse's mouth" This week we got Ashley straddling the crypt keeper, and now this I have no words!

What happened at the end of NY? (Will be watching it later)

Teddi totally set this trip up so she could show off how real she is and how coddled and useless the others are. Camille saw through that right away -- and Dorit was basically beating Teddi at her own game with the activities. The hype has gone to Teddi's head this season. She is setting herself up as the morality police calling people out, and given how BH operates? LOL you in danger, girl. Somebody like Camille will be sufficiently pissed off to dig up some double-dealing on your side. As for Camille, I thought she was as extra as Erika with some of the one-upmanship. But at least she is bringing pot-stirring S1 Camille to the party! Without her, everybody would just be sitting in their usual Halloween costumes staring each other down (the last 3 seasons basically). IMO Camille should have got a diamond this season. She isn't a parrot like Kyle agreeing with what everyone says. And she isn't going to let herself be corralled by Teddi into becoming a foot soldier against LVP. Not that LVP will welcome her with open arms after the teeth comments, but I appreciate that Camille isn't afraid to be bitchy amid the fake-nice popularity contest that is BH.

No BH discussion? It has been largely quiet on the internet front regarding this episode -- the first in which LVP did not appear at all. Well, I thought it was OK. Don't get me wrong, something was definitely missing. The chemistry between the women needs work: it is more strategic alliances as opposed to actual friendships. The dynamic was different, but in some ways it was lighter. These chicks HAVE to prove themselves without LVP to lean on, though. She came up a lot -- mostly by Teddi. Teddi also nailed Camille for her pot-stirring. Camille came off thirsty and try-hard this episode. It's clear that she is the next target for this group. I was surprised at how quiet Rinna was. She was almost a non-entity. Denise was definitely the most entertaining. What was interesting was the way Erika acts around her -- jumpy and nervous, like she was feeling the pressure to dominate. When Denise wowed everybody with her happy-endings story, Erika felt the need to jump in about how Tom had been with hookers or some such nonsense. Erika seems to be intimidated by Denise, while also being a little bit star-struck and wanting to impress her. I hate to say it because I cannot stand her fake ass, but Dorit came across OK this episode. She was good at a lot things on this camping trip, and that was.... surprising. I'm sure I will go back to hating her next week. Oh! Speaking of the Kemsley's, apparently PK settled with the Bellagio today! Just in time for Reunion. Those 'stolen' handbags of Dorit's came in handy after all.

@DaytimeFan Joan Collins was the star of the Met Ball last night -- this year's theme is Camp.

Me watching Whipped Cream with the Crypt Keeper: "Stick your tongue out." *shudder* Those words are now scarred on my brain! 🤢 Was that some poor attempt at damage control?? At least when Tamra & Eddie splashed around in the tub, I believed they were genuinely into each other! I noticed that too -- Monique spoke to her kids the way my mom would speak to me and my brother. It was instantly recognisable, that 'don't test me' tone! Man, I would never want to mess with Monique in mama mode. Her little girl Milani is adorable, though! One thing I have to give Gizelle, she seems to be a great mom. Her girls obviously love her, and she is natural, funny and... human with them. No ice-cold lack of empathy here. Going back to Sherman after he ghosted her, though.... C'mon Gizelle. Have some self-respect. If I was Ramona, I would be nervous about next season. The Big Apple Circus likely paid Bravo for the two-episode promo, and Ramona did the bare minimum and left. Unlike Sonja. Sonja considers this stuff to be a perk of her job. Ramona might consider it a hindrance to support another HW's paid promotion, but Sonja knows that what the Lord giveth, the Lord taketh away just as quickly. Got to enjoy life while you can and the opportunities that come your way. And that is why she is such a joy -- she is a good sport and a team player. Without that albatross of a town house around her neck, she can now truly enjoy herself, and finally be herself. That's why she did such a good job with the clown. She was totally un-self-conscious. I liked The Hustle promo with Sonja and Dorinda because both women started talking about the others with a lot of understanding and, dare I say it, even love. It makes a nice contrast with the bitchiness elsewhere. I find I don't miss Carole much, either.

NYC has been a little overshadowed by the hate-watch which is BH recently. It makes me worried that this might be the last season that we see the NYC cast as it currently stands. Which saddens me greatly because even with a strange, filler-y episode like this, I still enjoy every second of the interactions. Sonja is My Favorite this season -- putting that toddler on her lap, not worrying about poop, and participating spontaneously with the clown. She is also kind and supportive. She, Dorinda and Tinsley appear to have grown closer this season. I am digging this friendship group. Tinsley & Shady Dale. Now, I read some recaps that went IN on Dale, saying she was cruel and uncaring to Tinsley during their talk. I did not see any of that. I saw Tinsley having reached the end of the line with Coupon King, and Dale giving her some tough love. Dale is right: Coupon King won't let her go but doesn't want to take her, either. This is absolutely not fair to Tinsley. I found her advice sensible and straightforward. And understanding of Tinsley's need for approval and support. It's weird seeing Luann's scenes about how her Cabaret show helps her stay away from the booze, esp given the news that she has violated her probation a second time. I never quite believed that rehab took fully with Lu. I think she saw that alcohol was prompting terrible decisions and a breakdown in her family, so she had to cool it, at least publicly. But I don't think she stopped social-drinking. Because Luann loves the social whirl and parties, and that's what this cabaret thing is all about. She is addicted to cabaret and is desperate to make it last IMO. If and when that is taken away from her, she will be crushed. And if Palm County make good on their threat to jail her on violation, that could happen sooner rather than later.

@j swift As a fan of both GH and SB, I knew the Hursleys and Dobsons were family, but I never knew the bitterness between mother and daughter. You make a compelling argument about their anger and resentment with each other playing out on their shows, underpinning the characters' psychology and emotions. It casts the tragedy of Eden on SB, who succumbed to multiple personality disorder at the end of her run, in another light. As if the daughter could never escape her past traumas, her mother's abandonment. And what a mirror those multiple personalities were with Sophia returning to town early in the show's run, disguised as a man and assuming a male alter ego.

I am watching S6 BH right now, which imo is a fascinating, ambiguous, but v painful season. It laid the foundation for the current toxic incarnation of BH, and it was also the first season I didn't like LVP. She prevaricated and pretended she wasn't involved in Munchhausen-gate when she clearly was. Yolanda and Erika did a masterful thing, flipping the script away from 'Is Yolanda sick?' to 'Who spoke about Munchhausen?' It became like a witch-hunt as to who DARED question Yolanda's Lyme journey and who was throwing who under the bus. BH has never been the same since Munchhausen Season, and to this very day is STILL playing out the petty power games for control of the BH narrative. To its detriment. Most of the women clearly despise one another. One thing that strikes me about THIS season is how much in common it has with S6 -- but how different LVP's reaction is. The difference is that LVP has been 100% consistent: I did not leak to the tabloids, and I did not make anybody close to me leak, and I know of no leaks from my camp. Unlike S6, she is direct and full-throated in her denial. There is no legal ass-covering. And the denial can very easily be disproved by both ROL and TMZ. These vengeful tabloids would NEVER agree to be used one against the other without striking back. They have brought down bigger names for less. ROL has also come out and said that LVP and her peeps are NOT the source of the leak. LVP has been consistent in her message for the better part of a year. Dorit and the others OTOH? Their stories keep changing. Dorit at this point is hanging herself with her own words. "First, a kind stranger knocked on my door and took the dog off my hands. Then the stranger dumped the dog at a shelter. Not at a kill shelter. Except they do euthanize dogs there. I know because I talked to the head of the shelter. Oh wait, no I didn't, the kind lady whose name I don't even know called me and told me about the shelter!" It's like, Stop Talking, Dorit! Erika literally looks like she wants to take Dorit out back and shoot her. I wonder if Reunion will air that clip from its BTS segment with Dorit outing herself as having dumped the dog at the shelter? If we think of Reunion as open court for the HWs to plead their cases, I consider Dorit's slip-up as evidence. Or will Bravo pretend it never existed, kind of like they are pretending PeeKay, Tom Girardi and Mauricio have no lawsuits against them?

BH: Why do the women refuse to believe LVP? Don't answer that, I already know! However, this is not some S6 bullshit, with LVP prevaricating and choosing her words carefully about who said Munchhausen first. How much clearer can you be than "I swear on my children's lives that I did not leak that story and I don't know of anyone who did" ? THIS is the hill Dorit, Kyle, Teddi and the others are choosing to die on? If it comes out that she leaked, or coerced somebody into leaking, this flat-out denial on television would destroy her credibility. I don't think LVP would say something which could easily be proven wrong. I am ready to give credit where credit is due if the women-minus-LVP manage to produce some entertaining reality TV. I don't ask for much, just to be entertained! However, most of them are giving me crumbs thus far. I'll give it to Kyle, lord knows I dislike her, but at least we are seeing her family and her spectacular house. What's Erika's excuse? She was on less than LVP last night. I can't remember one scene involving Rinna. Oh yeah, we did see her hip-hop exercise video! Actually, I enjoyed that. As for Teddi, I have anxiety watching her. One heavy rainstorm, and her new house is going down the side of that cliff!

Erika's look at the end of that vid is literally 'You [!@#$%^&*] idiot.' It's Dumb & Dumberer up there in Beverly Hills the Valley. Between Dorit, Teddi and Kyle, none of them can keep their lies straight. Rinna is no brain trust either, but she looks like a candidate for Mensa next to this lot. ITA! I really enjoyed TayShanna, and she should never have been fired from BH! She was the Original Grifter, much more complex and interesting than Dorit and PeeKay. If Camille shouldered S1's success, TayShanna CARRIED S2, and as a result, that season is one of the finest in RH history, alongside S3 NY and S3 Atlanta. She was an integral part of that Richies vs Wannabes dynamic which is so badly lacking on BH today. I remember when she tried to lock Adrienne down as godmother to Kennedy in case she died (a real and present danger while Russell was alive), and an uneasy Adrienne was like 'No way.' The years-long groundwork she must have laid for that grifting attempt was masterful! TayShanna is also responsible for bringing on Pam/Dana (who ended up doing prison time for her grifting ways). She also saw through Yolanda's BS from the start, having been longtime friends with David Foster's ex Linda Thompson. It was a hasty decision to fire her, and ever since BH has lost something nuanced, dark and interesting. Taylor was kind of a mystery and had more story to give IMO, and her ties with the other women were (and are still) evident.

Bingo! Kyle has laboured under the delusion that LVP did some kind of mind-meld with the audience and turned them against Kyle. And she worked to align herself with LVP as soon as she saw how popular LVP was. She does not realise that the audience saw Kyle's true colors from the get-go. In Season 1 especially, she was so disparaging of Kim, I really began to feel sorry for her. Ridiculing her in front of the other women, and generally putting her down wherever possible. She was a mean girl. Kyle famously claimed that she brought Kim onto the show in the hopes that it would help her. However, it always struck me that she had Kim on there to make her look better in comparison, to lord it over her with her perfect marriage and kids, and to make herself look like the kindly sister. That IMO has always been the crux of her problem with Kim and Kathy. They never felt Kyle supported Kim and they felt she threw them under the bus. And the audience, I believe, sensed that, too.

Only May 5th?? Damn, I was hoping Potomac would start this Sunday! This clip feels so fresh, like it literally picks up where Reunion left off. And yes @Chris B I know what you mean. There is toxicity and jealousy, and lord knows I cant stand Gizelle, but I do believe there is love between Karen and Gizelle. Karen's hair (which I am obsessed by) looked amazing too. @DaytimeFan totally underrated. She is definitely one of my faves of all the franchises. Delusional, but she knows it and plays up that image, ALWAYS with a twinkle in her eye and sense of humor about herself. Her wit and shade are cut-glass sharp and funny, that's why her VTs are always the most entertaining.

This post is amazing and hilarious. BTW I could have watched Ramona, Sonja and Luann at T Bar all night. It reminded me of RHONY's S1-4 greatness. Judging by the reactions of the people at the bar, this was the regular crowd and not just extras drafted in for filming. Zombies with rock hard boobs though they may become, something about the way these women conduct their lives is so uncontrived and honest. In a way, it is good that Ramina and Lu have zero self awareness. Then they would try to modify their behaviour and act out a script. I'm glad we get to watch them in all their social-climbing, clueless glory. And I want to see more of the real estate agent with the bad sunburn/overactive bronzer! BH: Oh Peekay. Once a grifter, always a grifter! They sidle up to you, tell you how pretty you are, link arms with you and whisper sweet nothings in your ear ("Let me help you bring down LVP"). Then they pull the rug from under you and run into the night with your life savings. Now Kyle knows how the Vegas casino peeps are feeling! The whole BH plot seems so scripted to me. Like Production and the women sat down and sketched out the SL. And like Kyle this week, I feel a little like I am being played. LMAO! The irony of the oldest BH cast member -- whom Rinna is always trying to age-shame despite being almost the same age -- getting her own videogame is not lost on me. Erika's head must be spinning Exorcist-style right about now. Wasnt she trying to be an emoji last year and being down with the kids? That opening looks a million bucks! The Grande Dane especially looks Dynasty-fabulous! Monique had a pretty good tagline too. So excited for Potomac. I feel like I've been waiting a long time for its return. Cant wait for the Darby mess!

It's ok! I have a strong reaction to Rinna at the moment. With Erika, I like when she drops the mask and is actually quite smart in her assessment of other people. But yeah she really turned me off on DWTS. She was so uppity and entitled about being there -- I think she truly expected to go all the way but was voted out in Week 2 or 3! The viewers did not take to her at all, and it was a big PR fail. Erika's gloating about money hides a huge inferiority complex, I think. She knows she didn't 'make it' on her own, and she knows everyone else knows, so she is forced to acknowledge it periodically. Her too-cool-for-school persona and not showing up at events is such a power play -- again, a sign of a massive inferiority complex which she is disguising as superiority. And yet there are moments when she is capable of understanding and humor, I just wish she cultivated those aspects of her personality onscreen instead of playing this empty cipher of an Erike Jayne role. I LOVE ROXANE GAY! Not only do I love her writing but I love how empathetic she is. She is a massive HW fan, and was on the Bitch Sesh podcast recently talking about the genre for an hour. It was fascinating and I would highly recommend a listen. She's not an LVP stan either but tends to be very balanced.

Agreed. Although I'm not sure LVP's kitchen renovation is scintillating TV, I did notice how her Vegas opening was in the mid-season trailer! Production clearly needs her. As you point out, the other women are going to have to bring it in order to convince the audience that the show can go on as it is without her. And while I unexpectedly enjoyed the episode, I wasn't crazy about the trailer. Not that I want to see even more petty drama, but where are the organic relationships between most of the HWs? This is a big problem. Even the discussion about Kavanaugh -- and I do not agree with Camille at all -- was prematurely terminated by Kyle who wanted everything to be happy-happy-joy-joy, which is fake and ridiculous. She should have let it play out to an organic conclusion. Instead, Camille was left on the outs with everybody, and it felt like an excuse to go after someone else because LVP wasn't around. At least we saw Kim. Rinna was so shook! I like Lois too, even though Rinna is trying overtime to make her happen. There is no need -- Lois works on her own! The discussion about the serial killer was fascinating and real. I did not realise until the end of the scene that the attacker hit Lois in the frontal lobe with a hammer! Horrifying. I also can't believe those insipid Hamlin daughters didn't want to spend time with their grandma, but I've never warmed to them and still am in shock at their 'Instagram model' status. The Erika scene was telling. That was clearly an accident but the silent drama queen attitude of hers made me think this unlucky dancer is not long for a job. Also in her VT she was building up to a good point about embracing your dreams, but she spoiled it with yet another champagne gulp (are we going to get one every episode) plus her 'and a big chequebook ' line. Really? That's the best you can do? I like Erika despite everything, but she ruins it with contrived, superficial bs like this. NYC is such a relief by contrast. The relationships between the women, their lives, are watchable and enjoyable. I really liked Tinsley, especially her convo with Luann. I was also on her side when the women were pressuring her to call Scott. They just wanted to see her humiliated. And Bethenny is bothering me yet again. She is so demanding of validation. You can't just tell her she's fabulous -- she has to be the most fabulous in the room, the smartest, the thinnest, the richest, the most fuckable. She is hyper competitive with everybody, including the audience. It's exhausting. Even her 'advice' was all about Bethenny's happy-go-lucky ways (snort) and designed to put down Tinsley.

BH My esteem for Camille went down a couple of notches when she made fun of LVP's 'bad teeth and breath'. Camille is not really that close with LVP. Despite S1, Camille and Kyle are now pretty close friends. Also, Camille supported Adrienne in S3, and did that whole "No, you dont own Sur" thing that failed. I appreciate that Camille has always formed her own opinion about people, however, which is why the mean girl behaviour this episode surprised me. Maybe Camille wanted to fit in with the group, distract them from what she probably senses is Rinna's growing animosity towards her. Rinna, knowing that Puppygate has not panned out as planned, is looking for a new target. And currently that is Camille and her dislike of Dorit. (What is it with everybody this season defending poor, lying Dorit??). Of course Camille plays into Rinna's hands next week with her defence if Kavanaugh. A stupid move, and you know her BFF Kyle won't lift a finger to help.

For somebody who prides herself on having brains, Bethenny looked a damn fool opening her big mouth and spilling the beans on her BFFs Kyle and Rinna. She exposed them knowing BH is the one show where everybody pretends to be the innocent victim! Her wannabe-Sopranos language about LVP ("if they're trying to put her in the ground, and there is one finger moving, you better make sure she's dead, and she ain't") was ugly, violent and misogynistic. She wanted to sound boss but looked ridiculous It's a TV reality show for heaven's sake, not a mob shootout. This really highlights how much Bethenny, Kyle and Rinna despise LVP. They think she is blocking them from being the most beloved HWs in the history of RH and needs to be erased. Girls, it's not LVP -- she seems ready to quit BH anyway -- the problem is YOU ! ETA: I wonder if Bethenny blurted all this out because she wanted to kill the LVP-Kyle friendship and any chance of their reuniting once and for all.

Just leaving this here in advance of tonight's 'scintillating' BH episode. We could be talking about this RL drama, but no. Instead we will get hours of glam-squading before these hoes sit down to stare at each other's greasily-contoured faces. Dale is amazing. I love her gorgeous, Southern, velvety-glove-hiding-a-fist-of-steel speaking voice. She looks so vibrant and naughty. I think she could definitely play the game with these RHONY women. And I couldn't tell if Ramona purposely ignored her, or if she can barely make out faces in her permanent Pinot buzz. I saw on Twitter something trending about asking Andy to have Dale and Mama Dee on WWHL as guests together. I think that would be fabulous! BTW, I just finished re-watching S3 of Dallas. The first 8 episodes could have been condensed into 3, but after that it was FIRE. I really hope the cast returns intact this season, including my three faves Kameron, Cary and D'Andra (which... I know. Weird mix. The last two are highly controversial. D'Andra was a neurotic, jealous, Freudian mess last year but I can't help but find her fascinating). And yeah, Mama Dee's pot-stirring Tammy Faye Bakker ass needs to be there, too! And Sonja is LOVE this season. She has finally come into her own.

Omg!! Congratulations!! You MUST report back on all the tea she spills! Money cant buy you claaaa ASS! Elegance is learned. MAH FRIEND!
