More Vicki deets regarding her most recent love rat.

Vicki is spilling the tea about her breakup with Steve Lodge. I can actually hear her voice in these posts! Is Gizelle auditioning for Glinda the Good Witch in Wicked? Everybody else looks like they are auditioning for Cirque du Soleil! IN any case, I wouldn't have it any other way when it comes to Potomac! These women remain true to who they are when it comes to their fashions. 'Donn Gunvalson' needs to spill all.

RHOP reunion looks! Wendy's pose makes me laugh.

Thank you for posting that. I did not know his YT baking videos at all and love that cooking stuff!

I'm not surprised at these demos -- fans were highly anticipating the reunion all day! When a cast self-produces as much as the BH cast does, it really makes reunion much more high stakes, because as a viewer you hope against hope that they will be forced to answer questions they ducked while filming. Rinna/Dorit/Erika tag-teamed Garcelle, and while Garcelle more than held her own (she is clearly the star of BH), it was unpleasant to watch the gaslighting. They were either shouting at Garcelle about 'not telling them to their face' or boohooing when she did. If the Fall of the House of Girardi hadn't happened this season, THIS would have been the lead storyline. Dorit says a lot of words strung together, but they have no meaning. She's been on BH for 5 loooong seasons and is now the Terri DeMarco of the show. In the words of the Andrea Bocelli song, time to say goodbye. Rinna remains a hollow approximation of a human being. Garcelle's (and the audience's) problem with Rinna is that she throws friends under the bus for Bravo and is therefore untrustworthy. The hug (50 seconds after Rinna demanded a f'cking apology from Garcelle!!!) was cringe AF as Rinna basically sat on her lap and looked like she was going to eat her face. Rinna is going to do all her performance work this reunion because she did f*** all this season, besides air out her garage. And we are only at Part 1, so be warned. A suspiciously-lit Erika couldn't stop piping up about sh!t that didn't involve her. Pipe down, hokey-cokey. You'll get your turn. Kyle smirked for the entire 44 minutes. The make-up on everybody-- woah. Not good. Garcelle and Sutton were the only two whose faces didn't look like an oil slick. 90s brown makeup seem to be making a comeback these days (see BH reunion). I loved the 90s, but going by the Color Me Beautiful palette, that may not necessarily be a good thing. Honestly, Teresa would do better without so much filler. Her features were already pretty strong before (hairline, hair, eyebrows, eye shape and cheeks specifically), so when she overdoes the fillers, it really stands out and throws her features out of balance. Ramona is such a selfish friend, lol. She filtered herself, but kept everybody else's flaws in? Competitive, thy name is Ramona.

@Soapsuds did you see their Pirates of the Caribbean themed Paso this past week? It was truly one of the best Pasos I have seen on these shows.

The Sopranos. My first time ever watching. I'm on Season 2. I *LOVE* it.

Ray omg The Coven doing their usual coordinated 1-2 attack with Vyle smirking from the side. 🤢 I'm so sick of Vyle's 'pretending to be shocked' faces. That is literally all she has contributed to the franchise in +10 years. Rinna... Loved Garcelle standing up for herself and being so incisive! This isn't like last year when Kyle's accusation that she didn't pay the charity blindsided her.

It's her trademark. Looks like Ramona's general attitude provides the bulk of the drama in the trailer.

First of all -- who wanted Rinna to join?? LOL not the viewers! (The irony of Rinna turning down All Stars because money/she's above this. In the unofficial RH pecking order, there is NO WAY Rinna is above Teresa, Ramona, Kenya, Luann or even Kyle. And when struggling-for-ratings E! issues a press release to assure its 7 remaining viewers that Lisa and the Hamlins will not be getting a reality show... ). It also says a lot that even with Kyle on board, Bravo could not find another BH housewife to fill Rinna's spot. That doesn't say great things about the longtime core BH cast. @Soaplovers Imagine how the dynamic would have changed if Bravo had added both Gizelle and Karen!

Very brief clips from the new Melbourne. I am a little worried about this Foxtel clip which features a kerfuffle over the proper glasses for champagne. *cue visions of S8 BH* God bless Janet, lol. I've seen disappointment on social media over the trailer. There are some people who want to skip directly to the Bluestone Manor instalment because the lineup there is so iconic. I'll watch both. But LOL the trailer used a snippet of Melissa saying "Thank you Jesus" and it took me back to Melissa five nose-jobs prior (technically S3 RHONJ) when she was trying very hard to make that catchphrase happen. Trying and failing.

Maybe it will be like some of the VPR reunions, where Andy has Nicki sitting on his left like he does with LVP, and she interjects and asks a few questions of her own.

My hope is that, while Bravo is clearly hoping for some brief, meme-able fireworks from her, she chooses substantive questions over flashy, rehearsed reads. The situation with Candiace vs Ashley is underscored by the fact that Ashley is so amazingly effective in her pot-stirring. She is 100% in control when she starts something with Candiace, who is immediately triggered and flies off the handle. Because Ashley lives rent-free in her head. Candiace has no rationality when it comes to Ashley, and Ashley knows it. OTOH, Ashley has every right to point out Candiace's pattern of verbal attacks, first against Ashley, and now against Mia. The fact is, Candiace has become deeply mean and angry, and it is infecting every interaction in her life. The constant threats are a problem. Remember Porsha's anger issues on RHOA? Kandi and Nene called it out at reunion and made it very clear that nobody would film with Porsha or offer her job opportunities unless she did something about that. Why has nobody called Candiace out on her outsized anger? Gizelle referred to Candiace's 'garbage mouth' on WWHL last week, but I'm talking about the threats, not to mention the way she attempted to pummel her husband. I suspect it is because the GEBs and Ashley sit back and let Candiace's rage do all the work so they don't have to. Reunion would be a good place to raise these issues, and if the cast didn't want to really confront them, maybe Nicki did? (Cue Candiace bringing up Cardi B).

BH reunion sneak peak, and Kyle is at it again, walking that fine line between 'It's just a joke!' and 'I saved this evidence against you for reunion day.' Erika's face throughout 💀 Shes so bitter and has zero remorse for her bad behavior. Hurling more phobic insults at Mia's looks? She thinks it's cute. Her spoiled brat ass won't take accountability for anything, so I imagine she'll be doubling down at reunion.

When the angry chihuahua slapped her husband's hands away, i literally gasped out loud. It feels like we got a glimpse into their home life. What a dysfunctional relationship, and I'm not sure how long Chris is going to put up with having to parent an angry baby while getting hit in return. I don't blame Wendy for getting her own back at the Grumpy Evil Bandits, but having your period without access to a private bathroom is the worst, heh. Speakimg from experience. Interesting that, as sympathetic as Ashley and Askale were, no-one was ready to give up their en-suites to the two grumpy whomp-whomps. Seeing Kenya outright irritated by Kyle was a thing of beauty. Finally a production team that isn't there to cast her in the best light. Even though I think Purveyors of Pop are a lousy production team. They did M2M and got Mariah kicked off the show in order to re-center it around Quad (a move nobody but Fraud was asking for). Kyle may not have a producing contract, but she definitely wields power. She herself said that before every season, she invites the producers to a restaurant and they go through the upcoming season SLs. Ahem. Talk of a contract makes me wonder if Bethenny had one. She's always claiming credit for the hiring and firing of certain HWs on RHONY, and some SLs too.

LOL, I noticed that, too -- they all got a flashback to the most iconic line they uttered, except for Kyle who got Ken's voice laid over her pic!

omg @Cheap21 I can't 😄 The inner part of my eye is hurting just looking at those pics. Real Housewives Ultimate Girl Trip trailer

I hope so, too, but it certainly didn't stop her from influencing her many fans not to get the vax. I'm not a particular fan of Ms. Minaj... though neither am I a hater. A lot of her commentary regarding RHOP probably aligns with my opinions. Like me, Nicki is biased. Should she have co-hosted the reunion? Not saying Andy isn't biased (!). But where things might go left is if the Minaj of it all overshadows Candiace's segments. Apparently NM dislikes Candiace, and Candiace may go: 'Oh, you brought in somebody who hates me,' and then THAT becomes the issue. And then we get pointy-napkin tears, walking off set and more self-victimization. I CANNOT listen to that spoiled child whine about how everything bad in her life is somebody else's fault. I want Candiace to hear why fans and castmates are put off by her aggression and respond to those allegations. Of course, am still going to watch! 😄

Did she get vaxxed for this? 🤔 ETA: Queens of Bravo asking all the questions I wanted to ask:

What everybody else said. There was no PTSD. Candiace baited Monique like she's baited people on prior seasons, and this time someone took her up on her offer. Her pride was hurt when she had to be led out of there holding her wig in place. So she leaned into her victimhood in order to get Monique off the show. Now she's gone, Candiace's trauma has magically evaporated, to the point where she is pulling the same failed tactic on someone new.

Team Mia on this whole altercation. This was the first time we saw a genuinely upset Mia. I still don't quite know what Candiace is upset about as it relates to Ms Dorothy! I don't recall Mia trashing her momma like this. I've seen toddlers conduct themselves with more self-control than Candiace. And did she just scream at Mia about breaking sh!t when we just saw Candiace was the one smashing baubles and dishes? I can't. She isn't showing an ounce of remorse either which, if I recall correctly, was the main reason for refusing to film with Monique last season.

@DRW50 @DaytimeFan You beat me to it! I remember Holly Valance on SCD, she was living in London at the time and dating one of the Candy brothers who were and are global property giants. I can see how PK might know them as he was on the London property scene back in the 90s and 2000s. What I recall from SCD was that Holly Valance seemed nice enough, but she didn't have an amazing work ethic and was a bit lazy about training. Which I put down to her being a beautiful woman who had never really had to 'try' in life. That and dating a billionaire. Therefore, I don't know if she will have the inclination to 'bring the drama'. One thing to note is that prior to her pop career, Holly was on Australian soap Neighbors, launching pad for many a rising Aussie talent (Kylie Minogue, Russell Crowe, etc). So she knows how soaps go. Something in common with Eileen and Rinna, maybe. ETA: Garcelle does need a real friend on the show. Crystal said she had no close friends but I really don’t believe that. Like @Soaplovers, I think she's keeping her real life circle close and away from the mess, lol.

I wholeheartedly endorse this message

What shocked me almost as much as Andy asking the tough questions was Rinna and Erika getting the narrative setting segment at the top of the trailer! WTF was that ki-ki-ing nonsense? I assumed Bravo would be pissed at Erika leaking this early, but now I'm wondering whether they agreed that she could leak it on her SM? Reunion looks lit though. Erika still fails to muster any empathy for anyone but herself. Gaslighting like crazy. Screaming that Garcelle should have sought her out to discuss her insane behaviour? Garcelle sat down with her at least 3 times this season. And each time Rinna told her 'Maybe I'll turn on you, maybe I won't.' At some point you've got to stop giving a mad dog opportunities to bite you.

And Coco has joined Milou! She lived a good long life -- I'm sure Ramona spoiled her to bits. Confession: I am about 2-3 episodes behind on SLC. Two RH shows on the same night is more difficult than if three were spread out over the week! Potomac Agree with everybody who pointed out that the GEBs were not missed at Chesapeake, and that's why the producers told them to grab a toothbrush and get their ass down there if they wanted to maintain relevancy. I really dislike their stank-faced attitude/power play. The only reason the GEBs pulled this was to sabotage Wendy's trip and lord it over the others how 'important' they are. Maybe they thought filming would fold without them. Even Ashley does her job and makes an effort to participate! ITA that Mia does not fit, and her husband is doing too much and way too thirsty for camera time. Eddie's face listening to all that was basically: Napoleon complex! Candiace is very insecure about her position (literally and figuratively) with respect to the rest of the cast. She is also one of the most dissatisfied, entitled and bitter HWs on air right now (and that's saying something -- hello, Erika Jayne). Even during her music video, Candiace seemed to be seething with rage. She is apoplectic when Mia and Ashley do not show her the 'respect' she feels she deserves -- the respect her mother (who demeans her constantly) has clearly never shown her. And so she reverts to a teenager mouthing off, especially with the ridiculous baiting ("Drag me, Monique!"). I tried the baiting tactic once when I was 15 and had to backtrack super-quickly! It never ends well.
