BH:

GREAT episode, finally. I was hooked from start to finish.

First of all, Morgan Wade. Even Stevie Wonder can see what's going on between her and Kyle -- it jumped off the screen.

The entire sequence made me think about Kyle's relationships with women generally. Kyle has long defined herself by her close friendships with female friends. It reminds me of Taylor Swift's infamous Girl Squad. Kyle's most dynamic and foundational relationships have always been with women, from her mother down. These relationships are aspirational, they are super-tight and maternal, offering her a closeness she has always sought, they are also incredibly competitive (Kim, LVP, Kathy), and they are about coveting what the other woman has (a Villa Rosa lifestyle; tattoos). The coveting may reflect Kyle's ongoing search for who she actually is.

I'm also reminded that none of Kyle's friends are actually close with each other, and are often pitted against the other (Faye vs LVP, Dorit vs Teddi). After a lowkey sensual tattoo session with Morgan, Kyle ran home to Mauricio to show him. It was almost like she was trying to provoke him.

Now we are seeing an implosion in Kyle's friendship with Sutton, whom she had been trying to woo over to her side. (BTW Dorit seems almost thrilled by this turn of events). Sutton expected this shift from Kyle, which is why she had the 'Kyle's Marriage' card ready to play.

Garcelle knew it was coming -- she silenced the yappy chihuahua newbie at the Dinner Party From Hell 3.0 with a sharp "HER MARRIAGE" and stirred the pot wonderfully. 

It made a lot of sense that in an episode devoted to Kyle's female relationships, the OG Dinner Party from Hell was evoked. "He will never emotionally fulfil you, ever. As soon as the kids are bigger, you'll have nothing in common. Know that." LOL I live for those words! The appearance of Faye, Camille, and even Justin also took me back.

Denise did not show up tipsy. I think we all know Denise was on something else.

Kyle and Morgan are definitely screwing. Morgan’s voice is awful. 

Also dislike the new girl already. 

100%. Their chemistry leapt off the screen. I don't believe either of them have the acting capability to manufacture that.

New Girl reminds me of Tonya from RHOA, but much thirstier.

Anyone watching the current season of M2M? I am hooked! Usually M2M is a slow burn in the early episodes, but they hit the ground running this season by jumping straight into the engagement of throwback Dr. Greg and his new fiancée. 

Sweet Tea is not at all what I expected from a M2M cast member. Facially, she looks like she could be Toya's country cousin (Toya BTW seems like she's had a little face work done, but good work). Lateasha is proudly country and I like that. She's a little different from reality newbies on these shows -- first of all, spilling that she went after Greg in his DMs because she has an older-dude fetish. That one is going to bite her in the ass come reunion. Heavenly has already sized her up like a shark, but props to Lateasha for leaving her off the wedding guest list as payback. Heavenly has been crowing about how she got into the wedding anyway, but since she probably had to bribe an attendant to get that cameratime, I'd say its a hollow victory. While I'm not sure Sweet Tea is a GREAT cast member, I do think she adds an interesting dynamic. She's a fish out of water, she's not pretending that she's loaded, and she's just trying to fit in. She's not quite a pushover either, but there is a power imbalance between her and other cast members. 

Quad was bragging some months ago about how Bravo reached out to come back and 'save' the show, but I'm not quite sure that's true. It's fun to see her trying to rile up the group, but she very much feels on the outside. I echo Toya's distrust of her and always have.

I'm not sure slippery Porsha fits. A lot of her shtick is so staged and contrived. I hope M2M doesn't tip too far in that direction. The other women seem to be clocking that and her shady background in a good-humoured way.

Curtis only showed up for the bachelor party? Sometimes I think he and Jackie are fully living separate lives.

M2M really is one of the best shows on Bravo IMO.

Kathy Hilton couldn't help herself and made some definitive statements about Kyle and Mauricio's breakup:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-12796997/Kathy-Hilton-breaks-silence-Kyle-Richards-split-Mauricio-Umansky-saying-sister-strong-hinting-separation-serious.html

I thought Kathy (in what looks like a gorgeous YSL throwback pantsuit) kept it classy. It sounds like she and Kyle are talking again. She wasn't jubilant, but the cool, focused way she responded told me that no tears are being shed in the Hilton household about Mauricio's likely departure from Kyle's life.

I'm sure Garcelle will be accused (as Sutton has been) of getting her talking points from social media. That may be the case here, although there is not a Housewives-related post on Twitter which hasn't rolled its eyes at Boris & Natasha's blatant insurance grifting.

This week's episode was a good one for Garcelle. She was shady, but also showed off time with her kids and her Lifetime movie.

Sutton was also clocking in. Kyle and Sutton are officially engaged in an angry-whisper campaign against the other. Sutton is leaning heavily into "Kyle seems so different this year! No wedding ring, hmmmmmmm", and Kyle is anxious to paint Sutton as boozily unstable. Kyle's henchman Terry has already been claiming on WWHL and that podcast that Sutton carries vodka in her purse. Kyle and Terry, as usual, are desperate to get Terry's spot back.

Erika is coming off better without the toxic ghoul presence of Lisa Rinna to incite Erika at her meanest (and that was a nice scene with Jax). Erika is also not hiding the fact that her circumstances and means are much reduced. Far from it, she seems to be making a point of showing it on camera.

After a painfully slow start, RHOBH may finally be picking up some momentum. Next week looks really good. First of all, the new HW Annemarie (first impression: thirsty to be on camera) is introduced. This week allegations of sexual assault came out against her husband. I wonder how much Bravo will be forced to edit. IMO Bravo should keep it all in there. 

But what's really got me watching was Denise Richards at yet another Dinner Party From Hell crazily tweaking from whichever substance she had recently ingested.

RHOP

Wendy remains the target for attacks, one season after Mia laid hands on her (and really should have been fired for it).

Nneka was clearly hired with the intent to 'bring down Wendy.' And Ashley is turncoat as always, setting up the takedown because the only alliance she is loyal to is the GEBs.

None of the women, except Karen and Candiace, can actually match Wendy for smarts. (K and C could teach her something about quick wit!). So the GEBs decide to lean into one of the uglier African stereotypes out there. And Nneka went along with this narrative! Her family must be so proud that for millions of viewers, the Nigerian diaspora in the US will now be reduced to 'Osu' and voodoo.

Robyn going along with this and making herself the focal point of the shrine nonsense -- I can't with this bully. She is laser-focused on hating Wendy. Sometimes I feel sorry for Robyn's marital situation but, frankly, she brings misery and karma upon herself. I hope the Nigerian Miss Dorothy gets invited to reunion to dress these idiots down and speak her piece.

Hahaha, yes! You know Michael Jordan has an army of high-powered lawyers on speed dial.

Larsa isn't exactly hurting for cash since she now has half of Scottie Pippen's NBA retirement fund. She better stack those coins good because no way is she getting access to any of Michael Jordan's wealth.

Right? Larsa already secured the bag with her first marriage. It feels karmically unjust that someone with breathtakingly little talent and personal attributes secure a second massive bag of $$$$ !

I want to punch Larsa in her botched face. How DARE she spread Guerdy's personal medical business to a bunch of people without her consent. Oh she had me triggered

She stole Guerdy's ability to tell her story herself. And she did it on purpose. I'm sure at reunion she'll say she didn't realise Guerdy didn't want her to say anything, and it will be treated as oops, no big deal, because Andy labours under the delusion that she's one of the stara of this show. However, this is par for the course for Larsa, who doesn't have the talent or singularity to truly carry a story of her own. Unless that story is 'Get the Jordan child to marry me before Papa Jordan's lawyers force me to sign a prenup.' Never have I rooted so hard for Team Lawyers.

I predict that come reunion time, Lisa will no longer be with Jody. She's still too tied up in Lenny and the psychodrama of her divorce.

Guerdy asking advice of Martina was a great scene helping to demystify certain scary things about cancer treatment. 

RHOBH

I liked this episode. I can't believe I'm going to say it but individual members of the Coven (Kyle, Dorit, even Erika) carried the episode.

Kyle admitting that alcohol was kind of a front may be a metaphor for her entire life on the show. It's interesting (to me) that Kyle, who has appropriated other people's personality ticks and style over the years (LVP, Teddi, Kathy) has arrived at a point in her life where she doesn't know who she is anymore and is desperate for change. And so what does she do? She collects a new lady friend and starts appropriating her tattoos, likes and interests.

Normally I'd be rooting for Sutton saying that Kyle will never have her back, which is true, but I feel like Sutton read it on Housewives Twitter and that's why she's saying it. Like @Soaplovers I think Garcelle might be ready to distance herself from Sutton.

Agreed. I like Ashley and she's always doing what the producers tell her to do earns her paycheck by stirring mess up, but this was not the one to start. I was hoping Wendy and Nneka would join forces and become friends since it still feels like Wendy's on her own island.  Hopefully this misunderstanding will be cleared up early on and it won't be the new feud of the season. 

I'm wondering what will go down between The Grande Dame and Messy Mia since they're currently "repairing" their friendship, handshake and all. Methinks Mia will just start flapping her gums with garbage, lies, and gross exaggerations as always in her attempt to stay relevant, especially with 8 full-time cast members now. 

Like @Cat said, they're softening up Gizelle and I'm not mad at it. She needed to give us more, both personally and in the group. I'm glad to see a more friendly interaction between her and The Grande Dame, while side-eying her bff Robyn's mess of a life. 

 

Gizelle had to laugh when Karen said "I don't know international, I only know domestic." Karen is so quick! And as for Mia, Karen knows she's going to flip on her, the only question is when. She's ready and anticipating it.

I felt bad for Wendy too. Ashley went below and beyond to drive a wedge between her and Nneka and it bummed me out because we now know that the two never got back from that initial lie. So even when Ashley gets called out on it, the damage to thtmat potential friendship has been done.

Bethenny must have been silently seething at Denise's reaction to the Vanity Fair flop article for Bethenny's flop 'reality reckoning.'

The article and the 'union' has been a massive flop. Don't get me wrong, there is definitely room for Bravo to improve its treatment of reality stars. That message is probably best delivered by the audience, to demand the change it thinks Bravo needs. Not by a personally aggrieved Bethenny, who fell out with Andy when he let her know she wasn't considered for the 'younger' nuRHONY. That's what really stuck in her craw -- that she may have aged out in the eyes of network execs.

This woman's ego is OOC if she honestly believed that she was single-handedly going to burn that house down. Nevermind that, while ratings are down on some shows, RH still pulls in advertisers and eyeballs, and loyal eyeballs at that.

The whole exercise also finally destroyed the myth that Bethenny is bigger than the RH franchise, that she doesn't need the RHs to succeed. This couldn't be further from the truth. Those drugstore-makeup TikToks aside, Bethenny cannot stay away from RHs. She needs it to stay relevant.

RHOP

This was a great season opener. Last season I was disappointed by the laziness of production, so was surprised at the attempt to listen to fans. What's especially noticeable is the rehabilitation job on Gizelle -- and not Robyn. After years of not showing her life and distracting the audience by throwing dirt on others, Gizelle is showing her best self. Dating, her daughters, and tough love for Robyn, whom I really do believe she considers a friend. This is a Gizelle I've long wanted to see. (Throw Monique back into the mix, of course, and this show would be perfect).

Robyn, on the other hand, was left to dangle in the wind. That scene between her and Juan was so effing painful and fake. It made Mo & Kyle's scenes on BH look slick. At one point I thought Juan was straight up trolling her. It made me feel almost bad for Robyn, to be in such denial and have to go on WWHL to whitewash his philandering. Still, after the Patreon scandal, she kind of brought this on herself. I will say that with adversity comes Robyn's pretty good glow-up. Juan, by contrast, is letting himself go a bit.

This episode was the first time I warmed to Charrisse. I felt she was genuinely concerned for Robyn, having gone through similar herself.

RHOBH

I was expecting a break-out episode involving the Magic Mike show. I didn't get it. After a great build-up, none of the ladies delivered on the fall out. I was actually on Erika's side. Sutton was a damp squid on the fun, jealous that she didn't get picked, and she had to ruin it for everyone else. Unclassy and narcissistic.

Dorit is the only one really working so far this season, and personally I think she looks better without her glam team (which she can no longer afford, allegedly).

RHOMiami

Fantastic episode which sadly is only drawing in viewership a fraction of its lead-in, BH.

Lots of little and big drama. Marysol trying to have a SL with a Gay Brunch she refused to invite the one gay cast member to. Alexia and Todd playing nice for the cameras but Adriana is right, there is definitely trouble in paradise. 

Guerdy revealing to Adriana, Nicole and Julia that she has breast cancer was a gut punch of a scene, and one of the most emotionally involving moments I have ever seen on RH. Nicole's face said to me that she already knew, or guessed, the news. Julia was in quiet shock, already having gone through this with Martina. Everyone's reactions felt real and unexpected.

This show is Bravo's crown jewel, IMO.

RHOSLC

I'm way behind on the show and slowly catching up, but already it feels lighter and more fun without the toxic felon. Monica, despite her lack of cash and clout, is sort of shaping up to be a find.

Based off of Season 1 reunion, I expected Ayan and Sara to get into it. I'm sorry to say it now, but Sara is giving fake or doing the HW no-no...not being transparent. Most of this fight has already been posted (spoiler alert-it ends the episode where Sara did get some good shade in) and it just feels like Sara is lording her status over others. 

 

That said...as long as it's a petty feud...cuz this is all over BEYONCE (and I love how RHOM that scene looks)...to offbalance the REAL feud between Lesa and everyone...so secret that EVERYONE is talking about it...I'm down.

 

Have you seen the breathtaking confessionals yet? 

I have seen some of the confessionals. It's another world of wealth. If BH, Miami and Dubai all end up airing around the same time, I think I will be on luxury overload.

RHODubai cannot come back soon enough for me. The BravoCon panel suggests alliances have completely shifted and that Lesa is on the outs. She seemed a little bit sad about not having her BFF Chanel anymore. I have no idea what went down but enquiring minds want to know.

Also, I was listening to the Two Tits on an Ant podcast against my will and Chanel indicated that Sara was actually a lot of fun and quite fearless off screen. However, as the sole Emirati on the cast, she is under pressure to behave and present herself a certain way on the show, because she is representing her culture on the show. Chanel also took up for RHONY's Ubah who is, legitimately, her first cousin, and not "a Heather Gay cousin," said Chanel.

DUBAI

SO it REALLY IS looking like Lesa and Chanel fell out. 

So was Season 2 a takedown season of Lesa then because she fell there by private jet (thanks hubby) and is not interacting with anyone, but promoting the second season.

 

And new HW Taleen...

 

That's not the only feud:

OK, I'm ready for RHODubai to come back.  Even though there are too many RH shows (and M2M) coming back at once and I can't keep up.

These tributes are bringing tears to my eyes. Tyler died way too young and with so much potential still. He was turning his life around. I cannot help but feel devastated at this loss. He was clearly so beloved at GH.

RHOM. What a treat to have this franchise back. The Miami locations. The colours. The real estate porn (the drone shots over Nicole and Anthony's new house!). The fashions. The beauty. The interactions between the women. The homegrown and individual dramas. From Alexia trying to find her way back into the audience's good books (and kind of abandoning Marysol), to Nicole's assurances about Guerdy's health to Guerdy, to Lisa and Larsa on the boat... the relationships between these women feel tight. The last 3 minutes of the episode reinforced that and set up the next few episodes. When will Guerdy start telling the other women about what she is going through?

On a very superficial note, I love Julia's haircut (and possibly a light facelift), Nicole's style, and Kiki's everything.

 ' Bravo fans may never get to see newest installation of “The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip.” Multiple sources tell Page Six exclusively that the network is considering tabling the Peacock spinoff following Caroline Manzo’s sexual assault allegations against Brandi Glanville. “‘Ultimate Girls Trip’ Morocco is probably never going to air, and now they are thinking about tabling ‘[RHONY] Legacy’ also,” one insider shares. “NBC is really pissed off because they feel like Bravo let [production company] Shed ruin multiple shows, ‘RHONY’ obviously [being one].” However, a source close to Peacock tells Page Six that “RHONY Legacy” will air as planned, while no official decisions have been made regarding “Ultimate Girls Trip.” ' 

Dang, things are really starting to crumble in the Housewives universe. Granted, it was bound to happen sooner or later, but perhaps Bethenny just OJ'ed the modern day soap opera and accelerated its downfall. 

It's early days since the VF article came out earlier this week, so I could be very wrong, but I think the 'Bravo takedown' proved to be a damp squid. That surprised me because VF is a big-name publication which used to be known for its in-depth, gossipy reportages. They didn't get the breadth of HWs that they thought they would for this article. The Ramona reveal was already out there in the public domain -- Eboni has been talking about it for two years. Bethenny is already turning on the VF journalist which tells me that the article didn't land like she hoped and she's really about saving her 'brand'. As Eboni rightly pointed out in the article.

All this to say that I don't think Bravo/RHs is imploding on itself. Yet. It is in the midst of BravoCon fuelled by this gossip which is grist for the mill. I'm bummed that RHUGT Morocco got shelved (is that official BTW??) because I really wanted to watch it and make up my own mind. A combination of Brandi pushing it too far as usual and Caroline's scary lawyers did that. Ramona getting fired is a long-delayed reaction by Bravo, but RHUGT RHONY Legacy will still be screened.

I'm not sure RHs has been OJed and I'm not sure Bethenny has dealt it the death blow she claims she has. Rather the death blow will come from a precipitous decline in quality across the board, or a foolish, desperate change of format, and then the audience will rapidly abandon the shows. JMO.

This has got to be one of the worse 2nd episodes to any season. This was BORING! Im guessing the early rumblings about the season were right. That PK/Dorito segment should have been 1 segment but they dragged it out for like a half hour. No one cares!

Crystal's brother and he getting a confessional....no one cares!  I dont even know what was up with Erica. Garcelle and Sutton's scene was the only thing that interested me. I wasnt here for Kyle playing in our faces with her manufactured drama. This season is gonna be a slog to get through. Id give this episode a 4.

This was the weirdest and dullest BH episode I've ever seen, and that's saying something because I sat through all of Season 8.

They need to rename RHOBH The Boris & Natasha Show. I don't think I've ever seen so much of Dorit in one episode. Look, I'm glad she came activated and energized this season, but nobody needed to see her and PK cosplaying Pretty Woman. Who asked for PK sausaged into his casino tux? Richard Gere he ain't. Some random caterwauling Take My Breath Away (wrong movie BTW)? WTF am I watching here? This is exactly why production called up Kim and Denise, and told Kyle to ramp up the escándalo. 

Speaking of the scripted, post-filmed nonsense that is Kyle & Mauricio -- the only thing I can recall about this segment was how much Mo is going to look like his father in 5 years. And how much one of Kyle's daughters is going to look like Mo's mother in 45 years.

Crystal's brother something-something looking to get married. This is Crystal's story this year. OK.

Erika is clearly banking on the show being so dull that Bravo comes begging for Lisa Rinna to return. So far her strategy is working.

I'm not sure I'm ready for next week and Sutton walking out of the Magic Mike show in outrage.

Really lovely remembrance from Kimberly McCullough 

Beautiful words from Kimberly McCullough. Tyler seems to have been beloved by so many people in the cast and crew.

This is devastating. As with Billy Miller, I held onto serious hope that he would return to Daytime, and specifically GH. His portrayal of Nikolas was indelible. From day one, it was clear that he didn't just have acting talent, he had soul. This was also abundantly clear in his recent interviews about his struggles with depression and addiction. He spoke cogently and with great insight about what he was dealing with, and it really stayed with me a long time. It also gave me hope that he was going to eventually get to a better place in terms of his addiction.

There is a mental, addiction and loneliness epidemic in our societies and, either directly or as a secondary effect, it is claiming more and more lives, it seems. I fervently wish we had the resources to give people the tools to better manage and overcome the worst of it.

Ubah's performance at the reunion was reminding me of Porsha in season 9. LOL...I think she saved her job as she was activated and felt more coherent in part 2 than she did in part 1

Erin is a liar and mater gaslighter. I've only see this level of lying when it came to Phaedra but Erin just says stuff and doubles down on it, until reciepts are shown and she says stuff like "I  didnt reiterate it correctly" Huh? No bitch, you lied. She is also reminding me of Mia 

Agreed about Ubah. The previews made it out that she was going to be a mess, but they left out her explanation about why she felt hurt, which made perfect sense. The problem, I think, is that English is not Ubah's first language and so there were miscommunication with the other women. However, some of the other women have played on that language barrier purposely  ("i dont speak emoji" Ubah told Erin at one point about her texts). Brynn was egregiously interrupting Ubah and trying to derail her train of thought. That's when I understood why Ubah called Brynn and Erin a fake friendship -- she was pointing out that they have an alliance, and Brynn was fulfilling her side of the alliance by antagonising Ubah. Ubah has not backed down to 'fans' on social media and stood her ground this week as well. I hope she has saved her job and that she and Jenna grow closer, should there be a S15. 

Erin has been playing the other women against each other since episode 1. I hope these women have her number. I liked the way Jessel calmly did not let her get away with lying about Pavit.

Sai acquired herself very well this reunion. She apologised and explained herself in a relatable, reasonable way. I suspect she has saved her job also.

@DaytimeFan, I don't think Rinna provided that "umph." I've been saying that she was stale. However, the premiere was just missing a necessary fire or spark amongst the women. And Kyle blaming Sutton/Garcelle is right up her alley. That's why I am ALL for the duo to poke holes in her antics this season. Finally, Kyle is about to work for that diamond and not off the backs of LVP or her sisters. 

First of all, I am truly honored you mistook me for DaytimeFan!

Secondly, I get what you mean. The cast has been practically the same for the past four seasons and it needs juujing. Although I like that The Coven is without two of its most virulent henchwomen and is now, finally, on the back foot. I see Dorit, Kyle and Erika ALL came hot out of the gate this episode to earn their spot. By contrast, we saw approximately zilch of Crystal, and Sutton was more or less reduced to horse talk.

But the show needs that "umph" to it. 

I am glad that the show is going to appear to be lighthearted compared to previous season. 

Not sure Rinna has represented that "umph" for years. She'd wait like a spider for someone to trip up or misspeak, then beat them with a stick about it. My Truth! Own it! She really did nothing and showed nothing, almost like she was trying to punish the producers/Bravo. Only her white-hot hatred for Garcelle activated her, but even then, it was usually directed off-camera (I still feel in my gut that she set up those bots to attack Jax). I'm glad that malevolent, bitter presence is gone.

I did think the premiere was very lowkey. However, within it were a few juicy tidbits. Sutton dropped an absolute BOMB about PK being in a car with another woman when he was stopped over the limit. The editors right away cut in a VT of Dorit saying that PK was often away in London and they had grown apart. So it appears that Dorit and Kyle have identical SLs. I wonder who came up with the SL first and who stole from their friend. Interesting that Kyle went to WWHL, not with Dorit, but with Teddi. 

Another interesting moment was Kyle inexplicably deciding that Garcelle and Sutton were the wedge between her and Kathy, and not Rinna and Erika! That blew my mind until I realised that Kyle's problem is not about her and Kathy falling out. Rinna and Erika went after Kathy with Kyle's tacit acknowledgement, I am almost certain of it. She just didn't want to get her hands dirty.

Garcelle's SL with Jax and him wanting to move in with his dad interests me.

Miami gave in 7 minutes what BH couldn't give in 46 mins. Glossy, sun-drenched, top-notch -- more than that, effortless. No throwing around of too many counterfeit labels (always a red flag). On Miami, wealth both shouts and whispers. What is more luxurious than a walk on a perfect sandy beach in your exclusive Miami neighbourhood? A yacht lunch?

That was a great sneek peak and now I cannot wait to watch! The fact that Lisa is contesting the pre-nup is juicy.

I am. I feel like it was done to promote his weird stint on DWTS.

Yeah she is.  She's an adult and could have maybe tried a different technique in order to make UGT 4 pop.  I'm sick of viewers giving her a pass.

@Cat I do think Aylan got in her cousin's ear between filming the season and the reunion.  However, the reason Aylan works on her show is because she does show her whole life.  We saw her with her husband, with her son, and with building her modeling business. And she also had a ying to her yang (or a yang to her yin) in Stansbury.  Stansbury and Aylan are what made Dubai a good show in season 1 because you knew that both women had awesome traits.. it's just that neither one would listen to what the other was saying.   

           Sadly.. Ubah didn't have much to show nor did she find a yin for her yang.

 

Yes, Ubah was islanded and didn't show much of her life, and there lies the problem. Ayan also talked about female circumcision in her culture.  But Ayan could express herself in a compelling way. Ubah couldn't verbalise what was actually bothering her. She dropped bombs at reunion, and everyone went silent, but she was unable to back them up when asked to expand on them.
