PREACH. And she's so powerful BTS and so abrasive and Cujo-like that this isn't a 'fun rivalry' for the show, it becomes an absolute show killer. Like watching a bull terrier maul a chihuahua to death. lol at the end of S1, do you remember they invited all the HWs and kids together for dinner? Silex's little angels, Johan and François, terrorised Ramona and the adults with their screams, I suspect every NY HW now has a clause in their contract about this.

Yeah, there is material for 2 reunion episodes at best. I don't see why 3 has to be the norm for every show. I haven't watched the finale yet and I'm looking forward to it to an extent but... I am also a little relieved that this season is over. It did not grip me, though it wasn't for lack of fighting. Just that the fighting got repetitive. There have been fun moments but overall this show has been centered on one person's story with all the other HWs in supporting. It felt like the show was pushing an agenda with all the Bethenny-propping and that turned me off. I prefer to make up my own mind about the HWs, because my opinion of them usually changes on a dime, lol. I don't know if Bravo will hear POVs similar to mine, though, because Andy is so firmly up B's ass, and Ramona as the lone anti-B made an ass of herself all season.

Skeletor had a face lift and some more of her jawbone whittled down. Ramona' s face has settled. I don't know what is going on with Sonja's boobs, though.

Tamara Tattles added some further context, which is to say that while all this was going on on social media, Tamra and Eddie were actually in Aruba for a tourist-board-paid "vow renewal." Is OC still being filmed?? This sounds right up Bravo's alley. (That and vagina tightening procedures, which I never need to see ever again). Seems like Tamra was very busy on the internet while supposedly spending some QT with her beloved. It is also the kind of drama the OC should be bringing right now. Gretchen is so thirsty, man. That being said, she should totally have been made a HW or FOH instead of Peggy. This season is losing momentum. And I know Meghan is not nearly as insufferable as her first season, but she really does love to hear the sound of her voice. Coming back to Tamra, while I do think Sidney has valid points and has been consistent in pointing out what she doesn't want involved in her relationship with her mother (aka a Bravo camera!)... this does not mean I am automatically Team Simon. Based on watching OC, he was a highly controlling, bitter, manipulative man, and I don't blame Tamra for wanting a divorce. I do think he tried to do right by Ryan, though, back in the day, and keep him on the straight and narrow. Seeing the footage of Ryan then and now, I am shocked at how much he has changed in only 10 years. That hollow-eyed deadness... this isn't just age, right? Can we agree that Ryan has or currently is struggling with some kind of addiction issue?

The college comment is very telling of somebody who associates love with money. How much money you throw her way = how much love somebody is giving you -- or how much love they are entitled to receive from you. For me, it's the tone and the #brainwashed. She is so dismissive of this long post by her daughter. Bottom line: Sidney does not want to be part of the show, or even mentioned in any great detail. This is not an unreasonable request. It is practically a direct plea to her mother. But Tamra just gave her daughter zero validation. Moreover, with #brainwashed, she is now publicly calling into question her daughter's mental capacity. Kind of like she and Heather did with Shannon and later Kelly (#psychoticbreak).

She was spot on but I don't think her apologizing made her weaker. I think Dorinda is a kind person who realized that Bethenny needed validation. Bethenny is in such a position of power on this show. She hocks her margaritas and gets centre space in the line-up and has EP power BTS. She treats these women like employees and lords it over them. But she has no real friends and kind of wants them to embrace her in a weird way. Dorinda said things Bethenny has long suspected is true about herself but she couldn't handle it when truth was spoken to her. Perhaps she will realise one day that friendship requires a level playing field, and that in order for her relationship with them to be authentic, she might have to expose some of her vulnerabilities and 'come down' to their level in order to be truly accepted. Because right now they don't seem all that keen anymore to kowtow to her on everything.

I agree with this and think she did the right thing for her. I'm glad she didn't try to drag out the sham any longer than necessary. I'm also glad she's rid of this louse. If her great attitude on this Mexico trip is anything to go by, Luann will be fine. She can and she will do better than Baldy. This may explain Bethenny's surprisingly admiring words of Luann this week -- at odds with rumours of how Reunion went.

Oh hellllllll NO Bitchenny better not be going after My Dorinda!

Shannon looks good! And like she has had work done. Andy was surprisingly kind and affirming to her: In RHoBH news, Lisa Rinna and Erika G/J are in Tokyo together (why are they in my fave country???). Rinna trotted out this hoe-stroll dress for the occasion I don't know if she realises but in Asia, people really frown on women revealing too much boobage. They don't mind short skirts and shorts in Japan, but this is considered too much boob flesh in a public place. Erika looks like she had her nose done. I don't know why, it was fine before. Now it looks to small and too sharp. Lordt She brought her paid friends Glam Squad ofc

hence why BG is doing CBB! I despise Joanna Krupa and hope I never see her on any RH show... However, what Brandi said was the lowest of the low. It's the kind of anti-female slur which tars a person and from which they can never really come back. I initially thought Krupa kept this lawsuit going because it was effecting her business as a high class escort. But now I realise that as a female she needed legal validation that this was an unwarranted slur. Looks like Romain's testimony was the final nail in Brandi's legal coffin. It's moments like these you hope Brandi has learned a lesson about saying these things in public. There is #nofilter, and then there are the kind of slurs which trigger lawsuits. Sadly, I doubt she has.

And there goes one of my reasons for watching. I wanted to see if Brandi and Dawn hit it off (I still hold hope that Brandi has changed for the better). As for Dawn, I have a soft spot for her too, as shady and delusional as she is. I love to hate her sometimes!

I do too lol I have had a harder time getting into later seasons of Cheshire because I found the newbies hard to warm to.

lol no worries, I just wanted a chance to use this Nene gif. lol I'm familiar with those kind of low-budget late night lads shows (lads shows! That takes me right back to 1998) from back in the day! They were pretty harmless. Just, as you say, not appropriate at work!

Ampika has always been pretty open about sex and things of that nature on Cheshire. Personally, for me, I don't need to see her trying out sex toys from back in the day, but hey, far be it for me to deny that opportunity to others.

Yikes @DRW50 I don't think I want to click Play.

The moment Vicki told Shannon to "Get off my show," I felt like a countdown clock started on her 'reign' on the show. It was the same feeling I had with LVP's "The crown is heavy, darlings..." tagline. When you have to tell people you are the queen, it kind of feels like your time as queen may be coming to an end. What is clear this year on the OC is that nobody outside of Kelly and Lydia really wants to film with Vicki. That is definitely part of Shannon and Tamra's plan, to edge Vicki off the show, and it could work. Vicki knows this, which is why she is latching onto the one-hit newbie and yapping about Brooks for some screentime. Elsewhere in the Vickiverse:

I'm so sorry. I didn't watch Toronto and so didn't know. @Nothin'ButAttitude I got Stephanie wrong! But I'm pretty sure that is Adriana. I follow her on IG. I think she looks pretty good! But I always had a soft spot for her. Personally, Ramona looks like she fell into the pool five minutes before this pic was taken.

She sure has! Personally I don't think MacDonald is interesting enough for it, but she did try to jump on the Brandi Glanville train that very last season she was on the show. BH even showed Brandi interviewing her for her podcast. ok so I believe (but it's not been officially confirmed) that from left to right, it goes: Cindy (ex-NY, looks like a completely different person), Marysol (ex-Miami, looks 80), Giselle (Potomac, best she's ever looked), Stephanie Hollman (Dallas, recently donated a kidney to someone! wow! I'm so impressed, I'm not going to comment on her clogs), Luann, Ramona, Tinsley, Jill Zarin, Pettifleur (ex-Melbourne, overdressed), Adriana de Moura (ex-Miami, looks incredible), Kathy Walkile (ex-NJ), Heather MacDonald (wannabe), Kelly (ex-NY). I think Cynthia and Nene went too! Cynthia, Jill and Luann are apparently close. Hope they raised lots of funds for thyroid cancer research! l-r: Cindy, Marysol, Giselle, Stephanie, Luann, Ramona, Tinsley, JILL, Pettifleur, Adriana, Kathy, Heather, Kelly.

It's been a long time since I've posted in this thread. I am still keeping up with kpop tho. Most recently, EXO released The War, their latest album and imo one of their best. Kokobop was their comeback single, but imo it is the weakest compared with other songs including The Eve, What U Do, Diamond, and Walk on Memories. What U Do (@6.06) and Walk on Memories (@23.48) are my faves: This mv *shakes head* lmao. In Beast related news, Hyunseung posted a long message/apology to fans about leaving Beast. The translation is kinda off but I appreciate his honesty and taking accountability for some of the things that happened, including his immaturity and low self-esteem:

Jill Zarin had a big event for thyroid cancer (which she has been doing for some years now). The sad news is that Bobby's thyroid cancer has mutated into an anaplastic thyroid cancer, for which there is no treatment. Anyway, lots of HWs showed up this weekend in support of Jill, including Ramona, Luann and Tinsley. It's pics like this which show how well Jill still fits into the RH firmament.

Without Dawn and Ampika, this show is a borefest. Even if Magali were to return (and there's no indication she plans to), she needs an alpha female like Dawn and Ampika to play off of. The others, bless their hearts, just do not have the X factor to carry the show.

Ahhhh, it's Gretchen Christine International! I stand corrected. (And yeah Reality Tea is a good site). I wish she'd name the conglomerate that bought her byootay brand, because Gretchen has a tendency to embellish/make stuff up. It would add credibility to her post/press release here. But if a company did buy her out, more power to her! She had a vision for herself, and that was to establish a brand. She certainly worked hard on it. Lol I'll be honest, i kind of miss her on OC sometimes even though I was ready for her to leave in S8. Mainly because she got under the skin of Tamra and Vicki so badly! Can you imagine how Shannon would take to her this season? How David Beador would take to her??

Oh, for sure Vicki is a hypocrite and unable to deal being called out on her hypocrisy. Its been that way for years. Cancer Scam was the worst of it and I really wish she wouldn't brush it under the carpet. She's definitely "Do as I say, not as I do." I meant that in the looks/age department, Vicki is not a Barbie doll, and I think that's a positive on a show like this which is all about tearing down the facade these HWs put up. The fact that she's not is at the root of a lot of her issues with other women. She feels inferior physically and threatened by their looks. Gretchen sold her make up line? She's still selling it on her website, all of it way marked down from the original price. I notice she seems to have a new spray tan in a can product which the site is promoting quite a bit. It's not in the makeup section but has it's own little special section. Lol this was my first time ever on her site, however, so you will probably be better informed than me about what's going on with her business ventures.

For a HW that leans heavily on her 'smart businesswoman' persona, Vicki has terrible instincts. Brooks, the scam, followed swiftly by that Kill All Cancer insurance debacle. And now this. Not only do I NOT associate Vicki with cosmetics or beauty products (sorry, I like her for all the reasons she is not a Barbie doll like Gretchen/Alexis), but we all remember Vicki telling Gretchen that dabbling in an over-saturated make-up industry is money down the drain. The article does suggest this may just be a one-off curation though.
