BWAH! at your gif. Obviously not about the divorce itself which is obvi v sad. But my goodness, can you imagine how much the production team is quaking right now? They threw Kandi's entire paycheck at Porsha in order to get MoneyWealthGlamourLuxury. And now she's divorcing Mr. Moneybags.

Completely agree about Beverly Hills' finale. There really wasn't much to it and I'm left wondering where do they go from here? Flopmarie should be fired, unless Dorit comes up with a hail Mary at the reunion she should be fired, that leaves two openings that desperately need filling with dynamic, positive, personalities. They need to go younger like Crystal's age bracket.
LVP lives rent free in Kyle's head. That was odd. Kyle is just fixated on her. I wonder if they could ever convince LVP to film a sit down lunch with Kyle...the problem is Kyle is a perpetual victim and martyr and just wants to bask in her victimhood. Sigh. It seems that Mauricio cheated one too many times and she finally had her fill.
As Danny Pellegrino put it: they took their cast picture and they all looked miserable.
Yeah...Morocco UGT ain't seeing the light of day. I can't help but feel a little sorry for Brandi - reality TV has truly used up her dignity and Bravo did nothing to protect her with the recent spat of lawsuits that have been going on. The two lawyers she's working with are very high profile, so there seems to be something they think they can work with.
Oh, Flopmarie should definitely be let go, but IMO I'd keep Dorit over Crystal. I like Rob and what she brings culturally, but her personality is not made for reality TV. She pulled her punches with some of the women, even Flopmarie, when she was on the right side of the argument IMO.
Dorit OTOH was a little spicier, more ready to speak her mind in the VTs at least, showing the good, bad and the ugly of her personality. The dissolution of her friendship with Kyle makes her viable for next season IMO. The fact that Kyle is trying to pretend they were never close ("We only went on vacation together once!") and the fact that Dorit disparaged Morgan ("She stuck out like a sore thumb')... well, Territorial Teddi must be absolutely thrilled she doesn't have to share her BFF with Dorit anymore! Judging by the reunion trailer, Dorit is trying to earn her spot. I doubt Bravo will do a hard reboot of the cast unless Kyle were to leave.
You are so right. It is TIME for an LVP-Kyle sit-down at a Beverly Hills Italian restaurant, and they need to talk about ~everything~ honestly, and it needs to take up at least 30 minutes of screen time, and Kathy and Kris Jenner need to be there as enforcers to make sure nobody leaves or wriggles out of any hard questions.
I feel pity for Bramdi even though she brings it on herself a lot of the time. Recently I rewatched S10 BH, and it was very interesting seeing the baby shower where Brandi passed around her texts from Denise. Dorit literally dangles at one point the possibility of "Maybe you can come back into the group" -- depending on what info Brandi ponies up. Bravo dangled the promise of the show to her again and again and made her jump through hoops, but then reneged. It's been a constant jumping through hoops ever since because she is addicted to Bravo and the reality TV game. And dependent upon it.

RHOBH
I struggled to know what to talk about with this finale episode. The title cards involving Erika's 'residency' in Vegas, or Crystal's brother... we barely saw any of that, it felt like. And no-one really cares. Flopmarie remains a flop.
Kyle's White Party didn't have the panache of her other White Parties. It felt like a lot of money thrown at the camera for the sake of needing a big event to end the show on. And LVP continues to live rent free in Kyle's head. From Kevin the party planner to Kyle doing 2 impressions of LVP, it just underscored how much the old BH is currently missing.
I felt bad for the daughters during the climactic sir-down. They weren't acting. Alexia's face looked genuinely devastated, and Portia's tears weren't fake. Meanwhile, satellites can still pick up Mauricio's gigantic chompers from space.
Kyle basically exiling Dorit from her life is a ruthless move. She senses Dorit might be a weak link. I don't even like Dorit like that, but I felt sorry for her. At the White Party she cut a lonely and islanded figure.

Reunion looks!
Kathy looks the best and she aint even a friend! As for the housewives, I rank them Kyle, Erika and Garcelle
A lot of these outfits I feel like I've seen before.
I liked Dorit's outfit the best, until I realised that Melissa Gorga wore a similar look in blue at the last NJ reunion.
I'm not sure why Kathy showed up when she wasn't in this current season at all (rumors say she came to excoriate Sutton on Kyle's behalf, which makes zero sense to me??), but yay I guess. She'll be entertaining.
Garcelle is channeling LVP's Tom Ford liquid-rosé-gold look at the S8 reunion.
We already know about Flopmarie channelling Charrisse.
Crystal's dress is very Italian Designer and very her -- underrated and understated. Maybe too daywear for BH? Overall I think she looks the best here -- hair lustrous, skin glowy.
I'm sure I've seen Sutton's halter-top dress on some reunion somewhere. The blue velvet is nice.
Erika's look has been in her closet a long time and is a repeat. Same, I feel, with this green outfit on Kyle.

RHOBH: I agree with everyone about Kyle's "moments" versus storyline. That said, I've enjoyed RHOBH overall this season and I'm glad they could prove the show could go on just fine without Rinna skulking around like a preying cockatoo.

The problem with Potomac is it's clear these women have no connection to each other. They show up for filming and then they never speak to each other again. They're onscreen to monetize their products, brands, and podcasts and nothing more. It's probably the franchise with the least amount of organic connections and because they've filmed together for so long, and most dislike each other, that it rings so fake and hollow.
That production has let Robyn get away with having no storyline, and burying her personal life, is insane to me. After she sold it for her podcast? They should have come hard for her and Juan. The way she handed out rooms was so manufactured - you could see her running through the script she'd discussed with production. That crap needs to stop across every franchise.
Thank you for verbalizing the major problem I have with this season. Not just the disconnect between women who once seemed to have organic chemistry with each other. But the complete unwillingness of production to confront Robyn about her personal life and the Patreon scam. They are overtly protecting her because she is Production's puppet.

Porsha is caught up in some MESS! Simon's a scammer and has been deported multiple times. I bet their money is funny and where there is smoke, there's fire. The Guobadias are in for a major downfall.
Looks like we have her storyline for the upcoming season and this comes days after she signs the dotted line so there's no backing out
Falynn being shady. Apparently she going live tonight to discuss some things
"Young Scammer" LOL
Falyn is on Couple's Therapy this season with her current beau, apparently.
Welp... i can't say this is surprising, because its not. When someone keeps their job description vague, you know something is going on. What I don't understand is why be on a show when you have stuff to hide?
I think Porsha will try and get out of next season.

Part of the problem on all these shows are the forced group gatherings. No need for Vegas or California mini trips..imho.
Instead they could have shown more scenes of Kyle with Morgan & Mo, more scenes of Flopmarie with her family/job, Crystal with her life, etc.
The stories that were brewing (Kyle's marriage, Garcelle and her sons, Sutton moving on from her marriage at last, Flormarie's introduction, and Dorit's odd marriage dynamics) could have been shown with more scenes.
They could have shown Kyle with her new BFF Morgan and the implications for her friendship with Dorit, which seems to be a little on the outs right now. Then we have Erika who, without Rinna, has allied herself closer to Kyle recently (despite her not being a big fan of Kathy's). It also raises a wider question of why does Kyle cycle through a squad of BFFs, and why are these BFFs rarely friends with each other?
However, the show has tiptoed away from all that, saving it as an underlying current on the After Show or an impromptu Kyle interview on a red carpet somewhere.
The mini cast trips are usually scheduled in episode 2 or 3 of the season, in the hopes that they lay down the foundations for a season's dramas or petty rivalries. Sometimes they can generate more drama than the cast trip itself, but I agree that in this case Vegas did little but establish Sutton as a somewhat disingenuous prude.

Kyle's "story" hasn't even been a story. There have been intriguing moments where she appears to get vulnerable about the distance between her and Mo, but that basically amounted to, what, 4 tense conversations? Nothing was spoken aloud, nothing was concrete, and they never went any deeper than the surface as far as showing something there. I thought there was going to be WAY more Morgan content, too. It amounted to Kyle giggling with her about 3 times all season long and hinting at one lunch with the ladies that she could maybe kinda be bi-curious?
There have been two moments (once when we met Morgan Wade for the first time, another was the tense-off between Mo & Kyle's in the car) where I felt the chemistry, or lack thereof, was real. I went into this season thinking this was a fake SL for the purposes of the show. But I've been second-guessing myself since that first (contrived) scene between Mo's blinding, egregious chompers and his Lovebean.
Part of it may be that Kyle seems so turned off by Mauricio, and I'm not sure i blame her because he is giving me the ick big-time. But a lot of it is the 'mystery' of piecing together the few nuggets being dropped here and there. What is behind this rift? Did Mo cheat? Did Kyle? Was it Lorene's passing which drove a wedge? Is it Mo's incessant partying and possible drug use (the latter is my theory) ?
But as you say, nothing is concretely expressed, everything is implied, including Kyle making heart-eyes at Morgan as she sings...Some of this smacks of legal ass-covering, in case Kyle is put on the spot and says "Well, I never said Morgan and I are anything more than friends!"
I've been watching the infamous S10 of RHOBH, and it is a study in contrasts, not least how far The Coven went out of their way to build a picture of hearsay/'evidence' against Denise in order to take her down (Rinna's transition from friend to ghoul who sold her soul to the show is especially chilling). This season is so different because there is simply no gossip or anecdotal evidence to grasp onto.
A thought crossed my mind: suppose the much-trailed scene of Kyle & Mo talking to their kids... ends up being the two of them reaffirming their love and commitment to one another? And in the WWHL show which follows (featuring Kyle and Kiki Barth FYI), Kyle and Andy are all "Surprise, b!tches! We're back together." I think there would be an outcry from the audience that we had been duped.
2 hours ago, Althea Davis said:Amen. People here have this strange opinion that this season has been amazing... while you can clearly see the consensus online is that this season has been a Snooze-fest. There was even a reddit post that had hundreds of likes and comments that was stating just that - HOW BORING THIS SEASON IS.
Someone said they liked how light and how friendly everyone seemed this season... BUT no... I really don't need to see empty episodes of people giggling together or telling each other how great the food is. I don't find this interesting or amusing. I don't watch Housewives to watch FRIENDSHIPS... because these are not real friendships. I come for DRAMA and for interesting dialogue and confrontations. This season lacked ALL of that. I don't know how Andy allowed this to continue... this BORING narrative. Kyle tried to create fake drama and it's the suspense that something may happen like a break-up with her and Mauricio... that keeps people watching.
They will probably drag this suspense into next season and as soon as the show starts having a proper storyline, Kyle and Mauricio will REUNITE. Fake crying... all the way.
Full disclosure: the person who said that was probably me. I've been relieved to watch this season free of Rinna. The last few seasons have become so toxic and hateful because of her, I felt she hit a new low with the attacks on Garcelle that she appeared to orchestrate.... I was glad that she finally left.
With the way this season went, I wondered if we were building towards something (BH can be a slow burn)... and then we had a lacklustre trip to Catalonia...and now it's the finale and I'm thinking "That's it? Oh, OK."
I liked the lightness and friendliness, it was a blessing in disguise for Erika, that's for sure. I don't want Rinna back. Nevertheless, it's time to rethink some casting choices next season -- not a big reboot, but let's get the mix right. The last few newbies or FOHs (Diana, Annemarie) have been flops. Also BH is full of unfinished drama -- LVP, Brandi, Kathy, Kim, Rinna (gulp) could all come back. As could my lovely Eileen Davidson, lol. Kyle, unfortunately for some of us, remains the centre of this spider's web holding it together. That hurt to write, but we can't ignore that the show is intrinsically tied to her in almost every way.

I wouldnt say so as the esophagus plot only lasted like 3-4 episodes. It really blew up into something off the show but its not something that they dragged throughout the entire season. If anything this season is more defined by the breakdown of Kyle's marriage. Its been a throughline since the first episode
Yes, Kyle's marriage has been the A plotline this season, even if the story itself hasn't moved much beyond the first episode of the season (although next week's finale might change all that). Against my will, I've found it the most watchable thread of the season, maybe because weve been watching Kyle so long and rwmember all the times she vaunted her perfect marriage. Even though I dislike her and think she's narcissistic, it's been interesting to watch her try and express wanting change in her life.
I called it the Esophagus season because I was trying to be snarky, lol.

Nope.
Ideologically, I realize he felt compelled to return to Russia, after his miraculous recovery from having been poisoned, but his return really did seal his fate. He was arrested upon arrival, so I am not really sure whether or not he couldn’t have achieved his goals from exile in Germany-it certainly would have given him more time.His argument was that he couldn't ask Russians at home to risk their lives and protest while he lived in safety abroad. But yes, returning to Russia made his fate almost inevitable, although I always hoped that he would make it through his prison sentence and return to his family. A dark day for democracy -- I had a lot of respect for this brave individual who seemed to know it might end this way but carried on, hopeful, that he might precipitate change against the odds.

RHOBH
Second-to-last episode, and that was a trudge to get through. It's hard to pin down what characterised this season. We've had the Russell season, the Brandi turned on LVP season, the Bring Down Denise season. This.... has been the Esophagus season?
The last few seasons have followed a similar pattern, with the women sometimes reserving their bitchiness and venom for the After Show. That's not good. If there's a beef or resentment, it should be on the show itself.
Sutton dating -- don't care. I found it way more interesting her talking about her husband, who is now worldwide head of one of the world's biggest asset managers (PIMCO) and moving to London. Would like to see Christian on the show one time but LOL that would never happen.
It's so weird to me that Sutton seems to care for Kyle, and Kyle somewhat for Sutton, but on the After Show and elsewhere, Kyle is being so mean and bitchy about her. What happened?
Erika nurses grudges and remembers every conversation from years ago right down to the correct turn of phrase. Tom taught her well. Erika is keeping a lot in the vault which she may one day use against some of these women. I'm not sure what apology she's looking for. Your husband embezzled funds for your music career, Erika. That's still a fact.
Annemarie made sure to strap on her scrubs, stethoscope and hairnet for a Facetime with the husband so that we know she's a medical practitioner.
In the preview for next week, did anyone notice Kyle motioning at Mo to wipe something from his nose...?

But who would fit that bill? Sheree, Sanya and Marlo all need to go. Drew is the only other cast member from last season i think could be kept. Kandi is already gone. I we dig deeper in the Vault
Nene - never gonna happen
Phaedra - phones it in on M2M and without Kandi, she's not worth seeing
Kim Z - I dont need her circus on my screen and. fee she'd be just as divisive and performative as Marlo.
Kim Fields, Deshawn - Snoozefests
Lisa - i liked her but she's too represntative of the old ATL and they need to go younger
Claudia - I also like her but she doesnt live in ATL. I think it feels inauthentic when you have reality stars commute for a few days out of the week just to film. Plus where she is at with her career, i dont think it would be a good look to go backwards for this
The only two I could see working with Porsha and Kenya are Shamari and Eva. Shamari should have gotten a second season for sure. Eca would definitely fit but she wasnt giving when she had the chance plus i want impressed by her on RHUGT
I agree that Sheree, Sanya and Marlo all needed to go, although I think Sheree will be back in some form S16. I also don't need to see Kim Z make a one-scene-a-season return with her red solo cup. Production team used to produce Don't Be Tardy and that's why she gets asked back when she needs some cash.
Drew removed RHOA from her social media handle, leading some to believe that she has moved on from RHOA.
I would love to see Claudia back, but only if she was living in ATL. The fact that she wasn't really living there the season she was on was apparent. The sad thing is she maintained friendships with some members of the cast, making her a natural fit.
Shamari didn't make so much of an impression on me her season. Eva more so but I found her an annoying presence her last season. Last year, though, I would have loved for her to return given the state of the show, but fellow posters here said she was n acting jobs and loving it, and that suited her better than reality TV.
The jury is still out on Phaedra. She won't be missed from M2M, that's for sure, but she did have to put in some work on The Traitors and I imagine that would be what Bravo is looking for if she were to come back to RHOA: Devious Phaedra. Sharp Phaedra.
Nene -- a girl can dream.
Casting will have to work really hard to find newbies that fit with the group, have meaningful ties, and didn't just appear out of nowhere from under a rock.

Im actually fine with no more former housewives back as full housewives. The show needs a reboot and i feel that if too may return, it would be easy for everyone to jsut fall into old patterns. I like the idea of Porsha and Kenya headlining the new era and surrounding them with 4 new women would force them to change things up bc the dynamic would have to be different. The only exception which I dont see is Shamea finally being one but thats a technicality as she never got a peach. She has a story worth telling with her family but the holdout was her husband in the past
I'd be in favor of a former HW,or two joining Porsha and Kenya. I'm not sure Porsha can carry RHOA on her own, and Kenya's been phoning it in the last few seasons. And this production team's track record with new hires is very poor. As @Taoboi said, production is a big part of the problem. Nothing funny, nothing organic, a lot of scripted contrivances (Drew and Ralph) and a lot of thirsty or flop hires. Remember Yovanna? Falyn chasing LaToya around her house? Surely Atlanta has more interesting potential HWs than them? But lazy production has largely gone with low-hanging fruit.

Okay Bravo, now do Nene. Although word on the street says they're also trying to bring Phaedra back...? Or is that just Phaedra being Phaedra? She's "not even married to medicine, my love," so they can write her right off M2M, which would do just fine without her.
You read my mind. I need the meme machine that is Nene back -- but in a less grumpy mood. And yes, I personally believe that given the success of The Traitors, Phadrea will return to RHOA. And M2M won't even miss her. In fact, Quad may return to that franchise (although a part of me wanted to see Quad on RHOA, don't yell at me, lol).

"Everything is about Lisa, Lisa, Lisa. To be honest, I'm quite sick and tired of it. Lisa is ****ing selfish. For her to make that comment about people that live by the river. I lived that life. I didn't just lay on my back and get ****ed by a plastic surgeon and then boom, have millions."
"I've been on my own since I was 15. Get kicked out on the street with a backpack in the rain. You all have this beautiful life and I work hard to get here, too. I just want people to listen to me. No one ever cared to even ask me one question. 'Kiki, what is going on with your life?' Lisa, I have two kids. No man helping me. But you don't know my son's name. What is my son's name? The life that you have, even though you are going through a divorce, I'm sorry that you are going through this, but im going through hell, too. I just don't like dumping my problems on people, on any of you guys. Just because I don't like talking about issues, I have issues, too."
Agree with @Cheap21. Time for Kiki to get a mojito. She's come into her own this season. Her commebts were moving and on-point. This was a great episode and much-needed wake-up call for Lisa. Too bad she is too vapid to have picked up on it.
Looking forward to reunion. All the women look like the queens that they are, but Guerdy and Kiki look especially spectacular.
Love this show. Hope it gets renewed for next season and the love it deserves. I've been enjoying every episode so much. These women show their lives unapologetically.

SLC
And now...to the Monica of it all.
That was...A LOT. Monica started out so well in her first reunion performance in Part 1. And Mary carried Part 2. But she fumbled here for me in Part 3. It was clear that Lisa and HeaBitca got together and had a strategy going on to be so in sync. What irked me about it was they kept saying she was not apologizing when she was. They were similarly talking over her. And worse...not listening. It seem like people missed that in a willfully defiant way which made me think of S7 RHOA 50Cynt v Shady Phae Phae. DON'T say she did not apologize. DO say you don't want it. People mention gang-ups and how distasteful they are in the HW shows, but usually from the ones I've seen (RHOA s10 &12, RHOP s5) the person getting it deserves it. This one actually seem distasteful for once.
Still Team Monica. Why? Outside of the FBI story...which from someone's comment online MIGHT be true...and the contradiction I missed about Monica's interview and even that MIGHT be true since Monica had more than one interview...Monica has been nothing, but truthful. And more importantly, she OWNED it. I felt she showed remorse. I think the only thing honestly she did lie about is being part of Reality Von Tease. And again...she was one of six (?)...one of whom is HeaBitca's hairdresser. Meanwhile, even the flop burn book reveals that what HeaBitca was accusing Monica of was comments that JEN said. Or someone else. Not Monica. She just reposted it.
And that was another thing. HeaBitca was over there on Couch Right saying these little catty remarks and accusations along with Lisa. With NO receipts. Everything Monica said in Part 3 in response came with a receipt. The fact that they had to discredit her by aiming at her kids was disgusting. They knew this and used it as a trigger. And that was so clear so no I ain't Team Leather Weather. And don't even get me started with the hypocrisy of HeaBitca's overdramatically Karen, not to mention rehearsed monologue. I loved Andy getting her with her and the black eye lying and how it could hurt Production and compared it to Monica's actions because they were the same. I even can give credit where it's due cuz Heather pivoted back to Monica which was what led to Monica's downfall in Andy's eyes because Andy hates Production being made to blame whether it's true or not (RHOA/RHOP fans know what's up though).
I knew for sure it was curtains for Monica when Meredith turned on her. I was saddened. But I knew. Game over.
And then for HeaBitca to be on that reunion and how she was so scared for herself...after showing her slip with the reveal that Jen sent a cease-and-desist to Monica back in 2021 which of course means SHE KNEW about Monica more than likely (allegedly)...to then go on WWHL after and ADMIT she came after Monica for sending Jen off to jail, the one who frauded elderly people and was caught by the FBI...and then to see her AND Production online on some kind of apology tour...I mean...clearly everyone knew who Monica was. So it was a matter of just exposing it out.
Which honestly is sad. Season 4 was the best season of SLC since Season 2. And if Monica was right and she came in to show that fan (something HeaBitca confessed to being herself pre-Season 1) can come into a HW show and make it watchable...1) mission accomplished and 2) this is just a case of Heather again being jealous of someone doing it BETTER than she could ever be. Monica was good tv with gifs, actions, one liners, a clear storyline, HW feuds, and fashion. She GAVE. There's nothing that was not connected to her so Season 5 has its work cut out for it. Cuz the aftermath would have been messy, but also AUTHENTIC. And it's a first for Housewives so it would have been nice to see how that group navigated.
And what really gets me. That all of this attempt to run Monica off the show when she WAS the show. The fact that Andy said to HeaBitca's face that Monica was 'on break.' I hollered. Now there has been some backpedaling a la the apology tour. Meanwhile, Monica has been traveling all over as the latest Bravocelebrity. So...what's REALLY going on?
And I do wonder if HeaBtica is going to get off scot-free, or if Production will pull a Juan's Roommate on her come next season and air her out like Juan's Roommate is dealing with currently on RHOP. Because it seems clear online that HeaBitca's family does not deal with her. And there's some skeletons in that closet.
But sticking to the reunion...
LISA. RIP. For real. How the mighty has fallen. I was already over her during Part 2 with Mary and the religion stuff. But watching her come for Monica's kids? No, ma'am. Her passive aggressive jabs at Monica were transparent. And her self-absorption is no longer cute. Well, it was fun while it lasted.
MEREDITH. Awwww. That was my reaction to her turning on Monica. I felt she has been fair throughout and joking.
LITTLE GIRL. Pretty mute really.
ANGIE K. I admit that I liked her explaining herself and her business.
MONICA. She was doing soooo well. But Part 3. There were so many times Andy gave her a lifeline so she could save herself. But alas. You could tell when she gave up, too.
HEATHERHEABITCA. Hades has frozen over because I liked Little Girl more than her. She was so fake to me. So phony. And that rehearsed monologue with the fake cry voice. I would never hate on people who have abusive relationships or been in them, but toxic ones...one where someone held something for a year and a half. Even Andy coming for her required her to produce some tears and use the words 'i'm sorry' because she was not at all showing remorse for the black eye lie5 pagesof monologue in. So immediately I found her suspect. But HeaBitca has been suspect throughout the whole reunion with only edited versions of video to make it appear that Monica talked on Mary (when Monica was really talking about Jen) and edited pictures from online. So again...she deserves some much side-eye leveled at her. And lest we forget...she was on WWHL right after basically bragging about how she took Monica down for Jen....the woman she was just 'crying' about how she was traumatized by. Uh...ok. Over her. Showing that slip.Unless Mary comes back or Production wind up truly have Monica on reserve as a trump card to get the ladies moving...I will probably bow out of this show again.
Well she has so much going on...and KANDI AND THE GANG coming back.
But sad to hear.Makes one wonder if that rumor Nene and Porsha are back are true.
I don't see how Nene and Porsha coming back would block Kandi?
Now, Phaedra coming back on the back of her turn on The Traitors... that's a whole other story.

Vyle Kyle was doing the most in order to compensate for Rinna not being there.
Her talking heads and after show comments were filmed afterwards when it appeared as though Sutton would steal the season and her henchperson Try Hard Marie failed.
Kyle is an insecure jealous person that secretly hates all women. She has been bully to Kathy and Kim her whole life and enjoys turning her female friends against one another.
I was watching season 1 and there was a talking head from Kyle where she joked that if someone a set pissed her off then she would just quit acting and have a baby. That says all that needs to be said for Kyle....an overgrown toddler.
Oh, best believe Vyle's undercover moves have not gone unnoticed by me. Kyle brought her 'workout friend' on the show and set her at Sutton and Crystal with a one-two anorexia whammy. She barged her way into Sutton's fridge to try and show its contents (or purported lack thereof) to camera. What she did not anticipate was Sutton's newfound ability to deal with the accusations and gaslighting coming at her. She's been cool as a cucumber this season. And Flopmarie has spectacularly combusted. I'm sure at reunion, Kyle will say that Sutton brought up Kyle's marriage issues (although nobody has been doing a better job of that than Kyle), and tried to drive a wedge between Kyle and Kathy. Why else would they bring Kathy back for reunion?
Given how hard we have seen Sutton try and make it up to Kyle, and the way they supported each other in Barcelona, Kyle's words now seem especially b!tchy. Why the sudden hate-on for Sutton? Maybe it really is jealousy.

Just when I get invested in Kyle as a flawed human being.... she starts feeling herself a little too much and leans into mean & b!tchy again.
The narcissisism of Kyle who assumes that, since Sutton didn't talk to her about her ballet days with Merce Cunningham, the relationship was exaggerated. She minimises Merce's importance in Sutton's life like she did LVP"s brother's death. If I recall, she implied LVP was using her grief as a cover during Puppygate. It's all pretty hurtful, but Kyle and Erika laugh it off. Can you imagine the hurt if Sutton minimised the role Lorene played in Kyle's life? We'd never hear the end of it.
(Rumor has it that Kyle brought Kathy along to reunion to decimate Sutton, and that Sutton had a fainting attack as a result).
Speaking of girlfriend, Morgan Wade last week apparently deleted all photos of Kyle from her Instagram. A few hours later, Kyle did the same with her photos of Morgan. There may be a couple reasons for this.
(A) Kyle and Morgan broke up.
( B ) The Umanskys are divvying up shared assets and lawyers have advised Kyle to scrub her social media so that the issue of who started dating outside the marriage when doesn't become part of the divorce.
( C ) We got played.

Bravo has nothing to worry about. The ratings for RHOBH have been stellar (it consistently hits over 1M viewers). IMO this is one of the better seasons in recent history and the ratings show as this is the top RH show. The onlybad episode was the one early on that centered around Dorit (Ep 2). Firing Rinna was thebest thing to happen to this show as it feels lighter and more fun and the women are able to move on and for more genuine relationships. I appreicate the fact that this season is not toxic bc too much fighting is draining
I agree. BH is an easy watch, and I feel like some of these women have actually forged something akin to friendship here. It’s almost like they can relax with each other and speak a little more freely?? Even Kyle. Imagine that! Rinna isn't there to parse over every word and gaslight them.
There is also less fronting, wig-work and episodes based around glam. Everyone makes a good effort fashion-wise and keeps it looking glamorous, but it's not the be-all and end-all of the show anymore.

What a great episode.
Mexico City is such a vibe, and I can see why the visit to Guadalupe underpinned the season trailer. Heart-breaking to see Guerdy pray in tears for a miracle, and for Julia to swallow her own pain at being in a church for the first time since her baby died. Her loss of faith alongside the faith of Guerdy, Alexia, Marysol and others was an unexpectedly moving counterpoint.
Kiki getting grumpier and grumpier with Lisa during the gondola ride was hilarious, and she's so right. Lisa has no concept of any one else's suffering but her own.
Lisa -- my god. Is anyone shocked? She's always been deeply self-absorbed and Karen-y. With this divorce, she assumed that, because she'd been cheated on, she would automatically get half, like Larsa with Scotty Pippen's retirement fund. She cannot believe it hasn't turned out that way, and she's singularly obsessed with maintaining her lifestyle. She was pissed about Lenny's 'small condition' because everybody knows that in a choice between her liberty and more money, Lisa is going to choose More Money. Sorry Jody! If I were Jody, I would take the opportunity to GTFO of the relationship.

The episode was OK but just kinda there. Drunk Erika was the best thing about it. I did like the camaraderie among the women, though, including Sutton and Kyle being there for each other. Losing Rinna has lifted a dark toxic cloud from this show, that's for sure.
Andy said this would be the episode which would make us change our minds about Flopmarie. Nope. She held Crystal's hand for a minute and told her not to have a heart attack. OK. Are we supposed to give her a medal now?
I wish Flopmarie (and Dorit) would stop perpetrating the false narrative that Crystal looks down on nurses/is jealous bc she didn't get to go to med school. Crystal was actually pointing out that Annemarie is a liar and incredibly unprofessional talking about another person's medical condition and misinforming the public about it. The fact that Andy was co-signing the false Flopmarie narrative on WWHL is outrageous.
