For real. And did you see the way Faye, Camille, Kyle, Kim, Mauricio and some chubby lady all went to pay their respects to the Cowardly Lion, like ladies-in-waiting nervously paying homage to their decrepit, crochety queen? There is only ONE reason why "devastated" Adrienne (with expert make-up and a new hair-piece, natch) went to Lisa and Ken's party, and that was to remind everybody she still existed. Look at me! Here I am, everybody! It must have burned Adrienne something awful when Lisa didn't come over to join the crowd of Maloof-approved comforters, although at the same time she was able to play Poor Me victim by bitching about the fact that Lisa did "not want to be there for her." Lisa herself said that she gave the Cowardly Lion space so as not to inflame things. And did you catch the rehearsed stuff between Kyle, Camille and Adrienne about what a Wonderful Mother Adrienne is, the Most Wonderfullest Mom That Ever Gave Birth to... oh, wait, scratch that. That little scene was all about Adrienne covering her ass, her lies, doing damage control, getting her "friends" to set up a situation where they, on cue, recite how great she is (and how awful Lisa and Brandi are). It was a fab end to the season, though. Lisa calling out Faye, Brandi and Lisa having Girl talk in Lisa's dressing room, those vows where funny and moving, Yolanda and Brandi holding hands during the ceremony, Brandi extraordinarily moved by the whole thing. It's funny how RHoBH is by far the richest and chi-chi-est of the franchise and yet this L-B-Y friendship on screen feels like the most real. RHoBH is by far my favorite reality show. Haven't seen Reunion Part 1 yet. Am going to watch now.

Just finished watching Monday's episode of RHoBH. 'Bye Adrienne -- good riddance to that garbage-pedaling viper. WTF is she even showing up at Empress Lisa's party? To make it all about her? To try and squeeze out tears from her botoxed lion face? That's like trying to squeeze blood from a gnarly potato. I can no longer stand Gorilla Paul's unfunny, passive-aggressive, spray-painted ass. Seeing Camille brown-nose the Hoof (even though she'd probably wealthier than Miss 2% right about now) was sad to see. I keep forgetting Kim is even around. Yolanda is so amazing, I will literally weep if she is not on RHoBH next season. at Marissa desperately trying to stay relevant on this show. I love these BH parties and how the camera follows people gossiping and talking. Like Mauricio, Ken and the wedding planner. The deep-pink sunset makes everybody look fantastic, too. I have never seen Lisa look so beautiful as she does preparing for the party, with barely any make-up, her hair brushed to one side. Faye, Faye, Faye... dear lord, where to start? Who does she think she is, having been invited to Lisa's vow renewal, to then accuse her of having Brandi fight her battles for her? Lisa stands by her own statements -- I have never seen Lisa pretend to be friends with anybody and then have Brandi attack them on her behalf. Unlike Faye. Having said that, Faye NEEDS to be on this show next season. She NEEDS to become a HW. This woman is brazen. She [!@#$%^&*]-stirs. She starts fights and gets up in people's faces. I love Brandi, Empress Lisa and Queen Yolanda, but there needs to be a counterweight to that amazing friendship. And she's the only one who openly wants to be that counterweight (unlike cowards Kyle and Adrienne who snipe, plot and manipulate behind the scenes). I also want to see Yolanda smack her ass down, lol. I really hope Lisa and Brandi have Yolanda's back at Reunion next week. I keep hearing rumours about "everybody attacking Yolanda" at the Reunion shows.

Re: RHoBH and Vyle going in on my Yolanda -- oh hell to the NO. Picking on a woman struggling with lyme disease, all because she is loyal to her friends and calls people out on their BS? I hope Brandi and Lisa put that mean girl in her place if Yolanda can't. I can see I am going to need a glass of wine when I sit down to watch Reunion next week.

RHoV: Last week I was teetering toward wondering whether Jody, Ronnie et al had a point, that Mary maybe was playing the victim and being a fake. But after this week's episode, I can only conclude that -Robin is a coward, -Amanda is a try-hard, low-class wannabe. Tragically, this deluded bimbo thinks she is queen of the beehive and that every word that comes out of her mouth is both hilarious and clever. It is so sad to see foolish people who think they are smart. -Jody is truly evil. She has a nice side, especially when she is with Joshua and Hannah, but her hatred of Mary is psychotic. Ronnie is doped up to her botoxed gills. She's obviously watering her prescription-pill addiction with alcohol. She is also incredibly self-involved and that + drugs = magnifying little problems into big, crazy, distorted issues. As DF beautifully put it, she is an "emotional vampire." She needs to be honest with herself about a lot of things, one of which is that she prefers "friends" like Jody and Amanda kowtowing to her ass as opposed to Mary who talks to her straight. Mary acquited herself so well during the whole episode, especially in that talk with Ronnie. She was calm, to the point and willing to discuss the issues and get them sorted once and for all. Hardly the prevaricating liar dodging responsability for her actions. Mary is truly better off staying away from these hyenas. Jody calls Mary a blowfish but what Ronnie has done to her beautiful face is criminal. Those engorged lips look painful. I am wondering whether there is some substance-abuse-related bloat going on there. Ioulia is fantastic.

We've all taken a knockback in romantic relationships, and finding out your fiance cheated on you with a young babe must suck raw eggs. It takes time to get back on your feet, especially if you have to downsize financially after the relationship is over. But dear God, quite apart from the classy cigarette lighting -- the greasy hair. The tummy trying to break free from a too-tight pencil skirt. The Hermes bag which is starting to look sooo 2011. Most of all, though, it is the Bitter. Dana was smug before; now she is smug and bitter. Not a great combo.

I wish I could feel sorry for Dana/Pam/$25,000 for having to give back the Lamborghini to her nasty investment banker ex (he probably wants to palm it off to his new trick). But I don't! Twenny Five Thouzind is a skanky opportunist of the lowest order. And her jealousy of Brandi is hilarious and sad all at once. Because what Dana doesn't realize is that the audience saw through her try-hard, wannabe, siding-with-the-mean-girls, fraud self and instead took to Brandi. Brandi who (despite her faults and crude-ish sense of humor) calls it like she sees it. She is 1000 times more authentic than this fake poseur. Honestly, TayShanna needs to stay at this point. And in a weird crazy way, so does Faye. I don't know why I "prefer" Faye to Dana/Pam, I just think she stirs the pot better. She is brazen as opposed to snide and bitter. So much word. Something happened because they are working so hard to pretend that it didn't. Remember all those episodes where Kim breathed through her bunged-up nose "I can't even look at Ibuprofene because it would mean I have relapsed. Pills are a no-no!" And now suddenly she's on medication (even though in the same episode she chastised Lisa in a VT for thinking she was high on something) ? And she's mixing them up? OK, whatever. Maybe TV isn't the best place to detox for you, Kim. Setbacks/relapses can happen but seeing them immortalized forever in the media doesn't help.

Agreed. I hope they keep Taylor actually. I have enjoyed her this season, and she is finally waking up to what a fairweather friend Kyle is.

Yes, it does air here -- on ITV2. It is part of their Daytime schedule. ITV2 also airs NY and OC. RHoNJ used to air on Channel 4 at, like, 1am but that was a long time ago. LOL @ body off Baywatch - face off Crimewatch. UK fans really are not a fan of heavy plastic surgery.

I was just coming on here to post ALL of this. But now I don't need to! Agree with everything you said. Even about Mary, who I love. She was horribly treated by Jody at the party but also, it's like she's so used to playing Woe-is-me that she gets some kind of kick out of it. It is hilarious watching Amanda run around thinking she's Queen Bee because she doesn't even realize how much she isn't. There's no bigger fool than the fool who thinks he is wise! And that "birthday party" featuring only the HWs (does Amanda have no other friends besides Mia and her bf?) was contrived. "Don't look under the table!" Thanks for the warning -- I really don't need to see you giving your boyfriend a handjob in a restaurant. Amanda is addicted to being the center of attention -- what a pity she has to be obnoxious to do so.

LOL. Cheap changed her avatar to Miss Lisa today and so did I. Great minds think alike! Gonna try and search out RHoV so I can respond to jp's post.

Hey Sylph! Long time no see!

I do think Teresa is the breakout star right now. However, the first two seasons of NJ were for me about Dina, Caroline, Danielle and Teresa. Teresa was different then; certainly, she was a lot happier and more fun. Now she looks in a permanent state of anxiety, and her humor is labored. She is obviously deeply unhappy. When Dina and Danielle withdrew and they brought on Teresa's family, Melissa and Joey "Poison" Gorga and Kathy, then it was always going to be All About Teresa because she was the common link with everybody. The show was reshaped to focus on Teresa and Her Family. No wonder Caroline and JaCray were pissed. They knew they were being edged out in favour of the weird dysfunction that is the Gorga-Giudices. Lisa Vanderpump is my Queen of the HWs. But it will probably be Nene who gets it. Her profile is the highest and she is getting respect outside of the reality field. Bethenny, for all her alleged $$$, is still somehow stuck in that HW/reality star/Daytime-y mold.

I could not agree more :wub: Now that seriously makes my life! Bring it on Eric83, Soapboy, Cheap. Bring. It. ON.

RHOBH: OMG! They are going to my favorite country in the world -- France -- and my fave city -- Paris. My mom's hometown! Sigh. And the Hotel Lutetia is a pretty luxurious establishment. Can't wait for Part Deux. Yolanda did a great job with Mohamed's palace but I still prefer her and Lisa's homes stylewise. There is something very homey as well as luxurious about Yolanda's house, you can tell that this is where they raise their children and have friends over. God, I love all this home design porn. Brandi-Lisa-Yolanda seriously make my life. I love this friendship trifecta SO much. I hope they never break up. Ken's son and DIL are refreshingly down-to-earth and normal. It really says something about Ken and Lisa how even when they are around family, their personalities don't change. And the family treat them like family, with no pretensions at all. Ken looked so happy to be there with his son and grandson. Of course Sue was a Bond girl in The Spy Who Loved Me! Too bad Lisa never was because she certainly looked like she could have been one. I'm going to say it. I enjoy Taylor (even though it is clear that Bravo did not want her broke ass coming on the trip) and her fake fantasy world and drama and multiple identities. I hope she stays on next season.

:lol: OMG, no! I didn't mean in reference to you guys at all. I can see why it bothers people and when I first listened to it I was, like, woah. The sex stuff was a little TMI and I personally cannot help but think that by bringing other women into the bedroom and saying she needed to keep him "spent" before going to work, she was kind of giving Eddie the impression that he could eventually !@#$%^&*] whenever, wherever, whoever. And that he had this super-important libido that "needed to be satisfied" at all costs. However, I was making the point that Brandi has always been very TMI about... everything so as soon as I heard she was going to be on HS's radio show, I knew where the questions were going to go. I mean, a few years ago, Kelly Monaco was on there and she didn't hold back either on crude subject matter. I'm curious, though: do you think it is ok for her to put it in her book? And just not speak about it on TV or the radio? FTR, my friends and I don't sit around talking about taking it up the ass. . Or sharing our men with other women.

Brandi has always been blunt and very open about her sex life and what have you. She's that kind of girl; I have girl friends like that and it is so refreshing to hear it straight. Remember in Season 2 at Adrienne's part when she referred to penis as c*** and Kyle, Kim and Taylor collectively clutched their pearls in horror like a trio of vexed virgins? It was right after that that we had Game Night at Pam/TwennyFiveThouzind's house, and Brandi being treated appallingly by the Bitchards.

LOL, DaytimeFan is really irritated by her house! Prob because it is as basic as she is. RHoV should be about fantasy! Speaking of fantasy, Mary's apartment is stunning. And Jody and Ronnie both have my dream kitchens. I really love Mary and keep hoping that she and Ronnie find their way back to each other, lol. Damn @ that gangly OC girl's choppers.

Jody is like an evil pixie. Wanna know what happened to Tinkerbell after she got old, drank and racked up a few bad marriages? Look no further. Amanda -- OMG, what a basic bitch. A basic deluded bitch who thinks she can play ball with the big girls. I loved Ronnie (and her giant lip-glossed lips!) calling Amanda out on being a bitch. To her face. And not in a violent or initimidating way either. Amanda thinks she is all that and a bag of chips, and when another woman shows up with a bit of confidence and strutting her stuff, Amanda is all "What about meeeeeeeeeee? Why is nobody paying attention to meeeeeeeeeeee?!" She is the Alexis Bellino of RHoV. I believe that if that scrawny, ferret-faced twit hadn't outwalked a nervous Ioulia on the catwalk, there is no way she would have gotten too big for her boots and decided to piss on Ioulia and Ronnie at dinner afterwards. She really thought she was hot stuff after sashaying around in a bikini in the cold, huh? Ioulia really dismissed her outright and was far more interested in the food. Jody siding with Amanda was a surprise but as Mary said "Promises, promises." at Robin's face when Ronnie told her that she used table butter as well as olive oil to soften her dry skin. Ioulia's stepsons are cute. But Ronnie's boys are cuter, lol.

Revamping RHoNY turned out to be a blessing in disguise, I think. Personally I found it more watchable with Heather Carole and even that crazy bitch Aviva in it. Ramona and some of the vets just looked try-hard by comparison. I can't with Jill Zarin. What a vile human being. The only thing is that if she came back, do you think Heather and Carole would put up with even one iota of her bullying? No way. Also Aviva would go batshit on her. NJ is hell on earth. Until Danielle returns and blows it to smithereens.

^^ IA about Atlanta. i want to love it so hard but I just... can't. Kenya is trying hard but she can't work this alone. The show is a bore and TBH it's kind of been that way for a couple of seasons.

I love Brandi and believe that every word she said in the Howard Stern interview was 100% the truth. I love how she has a sense of humor about herself. LeAnn is so royally pissed because she assumed that nobody would give a [!@#$%^&*] about an unknown like Brandi Glanville whereas she was the big recording artist. She thought she could spin it to the press that she and Eddie were the Greatest Wuv of All Time and Brandi was in the way of all that. It must really burn that after all the PR money, the "surprise" pap shoots of her frolicking with Eddie's kids on the beach, walking hand-in-hand with the skeeve, that Brandi totally pulled the rug from under them by telling the God's honest truth! TBH, I hope they don't ax the RHoBH cast too deeply. I'd keep most if not all of them. Kim can go. Obvs Brandi and Lisa are untouchable. I love Yolanda and hope beyond hope she carries on. I mean, her scene in Vegas where she totally called Kyle out on her BS has been the scene of the season thus far. I have always liked Camille and wouldn't mind her around. TayShanna has grown on me this season and I think this crazy ho has it in her to start drama where none previoously existed. Even the ones I despise -- Kyle, Adrienne, Faye -- I want to stay on because they create necessary conflict. Uber Mean Girl Kyle needs to stay. She still hasn't been called to the carpet enough for my liking.

Damn at that Brandi interview with Howard Stern. Howard does make me laugh, though.

I love the way Ken and Brandi "love" each other. And how Lisa is not threatened about it at all. It's one of the sweetest things about RHoBH, I think, this L-B-K friendship. And for GorillaPaul to fall back on that lame "They hang out together all the time! That means something must be going on!" spiel was just ugh. Adrienne and Gorillaback were awful in last night's episode. That tall black lady who went to speak with Adrienne was very pretty and very self-possessed, I thought. Even when Dwarf Nassif and Dwarf Maloof were going nuts. WTF? No apology for leaving self-tanner all over somebody's furnishings? First of all -- get the spray tan done the day before an event, that way you won't smear it all over your clothes and people's stuff. Secondly, offer to clean the furnishings as it is your fault they got soiled! Really! I missed Yolanda, too. And I didn't mind TayShanna in this episode! Crazy.

I know, I can't believe she is 26 either. Her voice and dress sense make her look like very "woman." At 26 I was still shaking the kid out from me! I'm not sure whether Ioulia is lying Wig-styles or whether she IS really 26 but an early life of Russian toughness could make her seem more mature than her peers. Her husky voice also makes her seem older. I'm going to throw 34 out there.

RHoV: It's only the second show and the season is taking time to build (as it should). However, I am already done with Amanda's inability to get over herself. She sounds like a little girl trying to be a big girl "confronting" Robin. Robin smoothly nipped that one in the bud by killing her with kindness. Warming to Ioulia and to Robin in a big way. Still hate the Wicked Witch of the West. Nice scenes between Ronnie and Remy.
