True. The drive from the UES to Franklin Lakes takes about 53 mins according to my Google Maps.

Yep. I'm already done with Gizelle's word on the street. Not to quote Carole, because I really hate her scripted VTs, but "There is no word, there is no shtreet."

Hush! Dorinda needs to stay on NYC!!! John Mahdessian can replace Soggy tho.

"LOIIIIISSSSSS" -- pant pant-- "LOIIIIISSSSS IS GONNA LOVE THE PUPPIESSSSSSSS!!!" Thanks. The taglines are ever so slightly different from some of the ones published last week, so I'm guessing Bravo last-minute tweaked a couple. Namely Gizelle's and Karen's. Danielle holy f**k. I hope @DaytimeFan comments on this. That is an AGGRESSIVE brow lift/shaved jawline. Her nose looks different too. I am personally offended by her tattooed eyebrows! I hate to say it because I can't stand Melissa, but her work was done right. Glad Kenya will be returning. But she left it VERY late with the hubby not wanting to sign a release form until now. She must have feared for her job. I'm really hoping Michael Beck is let go after this season -- I don't like the idea of an EP who is trying to get HWs fired and is loyal to only one ho who doesn't even hold a peach.

I do think BH got better this season than the last two seasons, when Munchhausen and Pantygate made me want to gouge my eyes out. Camille has brought some lightness and Dorit definitely brought the petty! However, underpinning this lightness is meanness and envy. Ever since Season Munchhausen, that is kind of all I see with these ladies' interaction with each other. It's all percolating just under the surface -- until it isn't, and Kim Erika somebody explodes, and then Kyle starts making this annoying face: Truthfully, I think Faye would be a better choice than Brandi, even if she is Kyle's wingman. She has her own business (interior design), is very close with Kris Jenner, she lives in the greater LA area (she's from Brentwood originally) and moves in the kind of circles Bravo would enjoy filming. She's had an interesting life for sure. I think she should become a full HW actually.

I thought it was an enjoyably light-hearted episode after the nastiness of the past 3 weeks. Camille's VTs while Dorit couldn't stop yapping about Dorit were . Next week looks like a borefest of filler, though. Erika on WWHL? Why am I not surprised? Dorit was on last week. I am so ready for the first week of April and both Potomac and NY premiering!!!! I still can't believe there are 12 more episodes of BH coming up! Surely there should be 3-4 more plus a two-part reunion?

Brandi is obsessed with the show and with certain HWs on the show (LVP, Kyle, Rinna) in an unhealthy and negative way. She doesn't seem to have evolved from her time on BH -- even though she had a chance at happiness with a stable and seemingly good guy. A return to BH would be a regression, for her and the show. BH: Erika, feminist icon, 'empowering young girls' and 'talking to them about being boss bitches' -- did anybody else snort at the empty flatulence she was spouting? Also, Mikey, I don't believe Kimora Lee Simmons has been young and edgy since the 1990s. Lois was lovely, and so are Rinna's puppies Lola and Rocky. I liked the scene where Rinna bought LVP a gift to cheer her up after her puppy's death and LVP in her VT said "We don't get along.... but we've been friends for a long time." Kyle's psychic is a charlatan and has been ever since Season 1! Still, it is funny seeing her throw anything out there and pray somebody would bite. "Anybody know a Frances? Francis?" I felt a little sad for Kyle asking the psychic for Dead Big Kathy's approval.

omg that dog Totally. Part of it is the shorter, blonder hair, and the fact that she trained for the marathon, but the other part is a face lift, a brow lift, and more cheek fillers. I didn't recognise Carole here either (also, whatever Tinsley is doing to her nose, she needs to stop).

Lots of people want Brandi back and at this point it could happen. Though I imagine Brandi would align with Erika because her hate for LVP to this day is all-encompassing. And that would mean 3 people (Rinna, Erika, Brandi) actively hating on LVP on and off the show, 4 if we count Kyle's little jabs, and possibly 5 if Dorit turns. Which would be less fun for me to watch as I hate when the entire pack gangs up on one person (see BH S4, NY S8, OC, etc). lol sounds to me like Carole got so much plastic surgery this year that RHONY were forced to re-shoot her shots so we'd be able to recognise this new blonde 48-year old in our midst! Erika was a stuck-up b!tch from day one. However, the mega marketing blitz (from Bravo's numerous platforms and online presence, to YouTube comments, to literally every Real Housewives podcast out there) has been OVERWHELMING the past 3 years. They worked overtime to make her happen. Seeing her exposed last week felt like vindication for everything my gut was telling me about Erika, even though I went against that and tried to embrace the positive in her many times. It's a small moment, but when she told Dorit last week to "Leave that" re: Teddi, I was disgusted with how she dehumanised somebody she had just ganged up on. 'That'? I also hate how Rinna, who I actually want to enjoy this season, brown-noses Erika and literally follows her directive in everything.

Kim and Brielle went to a Kardashian party not so long ago (they documented it breathlessly on their Twitter) and elbowed their way into a selfie with their idols. They want to pretend they hang in the same circles as the Ks. On Sunday's WWHL, Kim also kept saying how much she 'loves' Kyle and LVP. I think the delulu one seriously thinks Bravo will move her, Kroy and the 17 feral children to LA so she can appear on BH?! If Sheree wants to be hardcore anti-Nene, let her. If she loses her job, though, it's because she is boring as f with nothing to offer. A fake romance with Prisoner 1345875 who we never see is not a SL! And neither is Chateau She-Broke which 40 years later is STILL uninhabitable and un-paid-for.

Excited about Potomac too -- even with drama, it pulls off the light moments. I also remember back to last reunion when Ashley was talking about her marriage problems, and all the HWs pretty much rallied around, knowing this was serious and real. LOL I'm so pleased that the one person even more obsessed by Karen's 'grand dame' status than Karen herself has been downgraded to FOH. Charrisse was so focused on 'bringing her down,' it really reflected badly on her. I don't blame her for being obsessed, though -- I am too! As big a poseur as Karen is, I enjoy her by far the most. Looks like she is bringing it this season. Re: ATL. I have been waiting YEARS for Kandi to finally confront Kim properly. That trifling, lying heffa used Kandi and threw her to the side when it came time to pay dues. Kim reaps the rewards of the work & creativity of others (often AAs) in an underhanded way, and quickly lawyers up. People get irritated when Kandi does her shaky-voice-cry but I understand it. Her anger reaches such a level that she has to cry. Kim keeping Kroy on standby while Kandi was talking to her was the worst. I hope she gets her ass handed to her at reunion but I heard she runs out of there too! Sheree is such a non-entity. I keep forgetting she is on the show.

omg

I am still some episodes behind because I just do not feel the urge to finish watching. The past two seasons have not been stellar but this season felt unwatchable to me. Not quite OC-unwatchable, but close. Damn damn DAMN! She quit on them? Yessss go Kenya Brielle needs to sit her lazy ass down and hush. This bimbo left her purse in her UNLOCKED car this week and promptly went on Twitter to complain when it got stolen. Duh. And Wig dishes it out but she can't take it. - ...Again. - It's been a while since we saw Kim's crocodile tears. Hope all that Botox doesn't impede her ability to emote. - She's 47 year's old. Medical science is shocked! - Marlo is trying to secure a peach, but for somebody so trashy, she sure is dull. - That was probably her stipulation for showing up to reunion in the first place. I hate how Andy attributes RHOA's success to her.

I'm just hoping it is a two-part reunion. I don't need 3 or 4 parts to hash out this meh season.

I'm hoping she got KIm Z shook. I mean, we all know Kenya can demolish Poorsha, but that's an unequal fight given that P is such a dim bulb. #MyJobisDone maybe means she is ready to move on from RHOA. Which is a shame as I don't feel Eva/Marlo/Shamea combined are worthy replacements.

I hope you won't be disappointed! I feel like we built the episode up with our rantings. But honestly Erika and Dorit made my blood boil. I trust they are still getting dragged across social media.

It's crazy how Erika is actually the opposite of who she claims to be. I couldn't believe it when she smirked about "Ms. Crybaby" and "that's just how life works" in her VT. She is so achingly desperate to appear cool and tough. Yeah, it's real tough out there on the mean streets of Pasadena. The mere sight of somebody else's vulnerability drove her into a rage; the irony is that as a viewer I found Teddi's tears -- a weakness according to Erika -- a sign of Teddi's strength. Erika, by contrast, looked completely ridiculous. Cruel. Played out. I hope so re: Rinna. She looks like she is trying to ape Erika with the coolness and 'shady' VTs, but it's not a role that fits her well. Rinna is better when she lets her dork flag fly and puts her foot in her mouth.

I have noticed that Kyle has been less kiss-assy of Erika this season -- and Erika less kiss-assy of producer Kyle. I'll believe it when I see it though. And I never rule out another S2 Reunion surprise where Kyle turns on LVP and aligns herself with Erika and the Supremes Dorit and Rinna. Erika's 'pure comedy' remark on Twitter already got some great rebuttals! "Humiliating someone is 'pure comedy.' Check your values." Another one: "Your behavior and outfits this season are pure comedy, honey." My fave: "Temporary amnesia...but only you can call people liars, at least she said it to your face and not the camera." Erika is acting all no f***s to give on Twitter, but we all know she gives a great many f***s. She already has her own fans canceling their pre-orders of her book. I wonder if Erika and Rinna will bail before Teddi. Rinna seems bored, and the heat is turning up on Erika.

Her blog is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 ! "Erika and Dorit [...] couldn’t be my clients, because I only accept women who are able and willing to look at themselves truthfully. I assume the issue with this/me is that I’m holding up a mirror to the truth and it irritates them." "It seems like Erika is enjoying the rift between LVP and Dorit more than she lets on. Or she’s just not sure of how to function in a legitimate friendship that isn’t somebody telling her how amazing she is on a loop." "Oh, and crybaby? Sure, I’m a woman with emotions, and I cried [...] What’s not natural is for you to stop another woman from trying to comfort somebody who’s obviously upset. But all bow to Regina Jayne. I won’t be sitting at that table. I prefer genuine people and feelings over ice and diamonds."

@Nothin'ButAttitude @Faulkner @MrPrezident @DaytimeFan @Gray Bunny @Taoboi Done with all these b!tches making Teddi cry and trying to convince the audience we didn't see conversations that we SAW ON SCREEN. Rinna defending Erika and Dorit like a bobble-headed Sarah Huckabee Sanders was embarrassing. She rags on LVP's age almost every episode, but at least LVP's memory isn't in pieces like the Selective Amnesia Twins! I choked when Rinna said Dorit is a dolphin in a sea of sharks. Yeah she is -- and you and Erika are the sharks, Rinna! This entire Erika-Dorit-Rinna 'friendship' is cooked up to get one over LVP in front of camera and behind the scenes. LOL I know people will think I am a delusional LVP stan for saying that, but everything about this new little trifecta [(c) Ramona Pinot] smells strategic and fake. Erika is a contrived mess of stale glam-squad fingersnaps. She has zero authenticity. Every word she uttered sounded ripped from a bad teen movie, while everything Teddi was saying about Dorit's lies and Erika's fake amnesia was pure truth. Teddi is everything Erika says she is but isn't. I'm glad she's getting dragged on Twitter. When even her die-hard fans are calling BS, you know the bloom is off the rose. Dorit is dog-s***. The way she physically dragged a quietly-weeping Teddi out of the restaurant hissing "You have no right to be upset, I'M the one who should be upset" was borderline evil. Then she pretended that she showed her out because she "cannot bear to see anybody cry" -- B!TCH. I hope your ass gets ROASTED at Reunion!

Not just her fangurl. He "co-wrote' Erika's very-soon-to-be-released book and is with her on all promotional interviews for it. He is basically her new Mikey.

This peripheral RH story unites two of my favourite things: b!tchy (ex) HWs and duelling skincare lines. It's Glow by Jabot vs Beauty of Nature. http://tamaratattles.com/2018/03/10/heather-dubrow-comes-for-lea-black-in-her-latest-infomercial-for-her-skincare-line/ Heather Dubrow was pushing her skincare stuff on Evine when she decided to disparage Lea Black's (of Miami fame) skincare line Sudden Youth. This has now gone viral and Lea Black is not happy. Heather tried to cover her ass https://twitter.com/HeatherDubrow/status/972656948200996864 She's a fool to have done this. Roy Black is one of the most feared lawyers in the country.

NYPD have had info on Weinstein for years but his good buddies in the DA's office quashed any attempt to investigate or prosecute. I'll believe they will go to grand jury when I see it, frankly.

So Charisse, who is deathly obsessed with Karen's Grande Dame status and renovated a guest bedroom 'champagne room' in her house, is now reduced to FOH? That must sting! Don't care much about Ashley's marriage. Most of it played out organically last season. I hope Robyn is leaving Juan's disrespectful ass. I am shocked about Karen's. Black Bill Gates asked for a divorce?? Say it isn't so! I am legit surprised by that and the blue-eyes cheating allegations. Gizelle... sigh. Sometimes I like you, sometimes I don't. Glad Katie is not back. Not only was she like watching paint dry, but all those foundations she 'chaired' were dodgy as hell. I have a feeling not a penny raised went anywhere near a charity. Unless we're talking about the charity that begins at home lol.

I don't know and can only speculate. But my impression is the Hustler chickened out for S1 because BH was an unknown entity. As its fame quickly grew, she came knocking again. I remember her on WWHL gushing like a fan and name-dropping Kyle. Which is also why I don't buy her recent story that she has never watched the early seasons when her pre-BH appearances on WWHL seemed to suggest otherwise. Erika kind of was bully-ish from day one. She and Yolanda (two peas in a pod) orchestrated the Munchausen witch-hunt. I remember the BBQ at Erika's house where Yolanda showed up and they confronted Rinna about Munchausen, and Erika screamed at Rinna "TELL US WHO F*CKIN TOLD YOU TO SAY IT!" Because Yolanda was busy cryo-freezing the Lyme out of her system much of the time, it was left to Erika to play the enforcer.
