The Season 5 Beverly Hills taglines for Kim, Empress Lisa, Eileen and Brandi, the others haven't been released yet it seems... Kim: I’ve been rich and I’ve been famous, but happiness beats them both. Empress Lisa: Throw me to the wolves and I shall return, leading the pack. Eileen: I’m not a bitch, but I’ve played one on TV. Brandi: I’d rather spend my life kicking ass than kissing it.

That writer came off as incredibly bitter, nasty and envious of the fact that Morgan, indeed, has it both ways: maintaining a light, glamorous acting career while hobnobbing with Washington thinkers.

A snitch? You cannot be serious. He's the manager of the restaurant. He's management. He's above the staff. He owes Lisa undivided loyalty. That's not being a snitch, that's be a professional and doing your job. And Jax is not a lifelong bachelor. That's an insult to bachelors. He's a lifelong loser.

A very good second episode - fast paced and a firing and Jax got his sorry ass read, it usually doesn't get this good until late in the season! It was so satisfying to see Lisa fire James, what an insipid little worm. Peter is clearly one of Lisa's most trusted employees, displaying consistent loyalty at all times, while hating all the same people the audience hates. Peter for the win. Glad Lisa didn't fire Tom Schwartz before he even got started. Tom Sandoval really needs to clean his apartment. What a dump! Jax is a loser and life is going to be seriously crappy for him in a couple of years when his looks totally go and he has no education, no career and no viable prospects.

The executive summary, if you will... George Hamilton is still tan, still rich and still happy. But he's into simplifying his life and living with less. He downsized from the Beverly Hills mansion and into a Wilshire Boulevard condo. He had a gay brother who told him his only regret in life was that he would have loved more. This taught George a lesson. Life seems very good for him. Morgan Fairchild is still good humored, intelligent and adventurous in her career. Her face is frozen in time and a bit fuller than most would remember, but her figure remains voluptuous and her waistline intact. She goes out for lunch with friends daily and has been in a relationship with a film executive named Marc Seiler for 30 years. She is extremely interested in foreign policy, Twitter and being interested in the world. In sum, both of these very glamorous figures are very real people who have their sh*t together.

I love Eileen, but I think she felt underpaid, rather than overworked, at DAYS...the money was always a real problem for her in interviews. Daytime is on the way out, even the most deluded fans know this, and Eileen is striking while the iron is hot. She's making money, gaining exposure and boosting her career prospects post daytime. And heck, if she's making anywhere near the $750k that was the going rumour she'll laugh to the bank given that's probably more than her Y&R salary these days.

Yes there is a separate topic.

Eileen won't come out unscathed, nobody in reality television does...but in some ways it might make her more interesting. As Angela's rightly pointed out, what kind of respect do soap actors actually get in the profession? The answer is not very much. Eileen is 55, the genre is dwindling, this is a once in a lifetime window of opportunity at a little more fame and money than she'd have otherwise. Hopefully, the RHOBH money goes straight into a 401k or college fund for her son. And then that's time well spent.

What's there to even debate? The dog has attacked 4 times. In many states, after 2 strikes, the dog has to be destroyed. It's attacked this many times, it will do it again, bye Felicia! Kim's nonsense about "My room was off limits," blaming both Ms Rozario and Alexia, is typical of why she's far from harmless. She never takes responsibility for her actions and how those actions hurt other people. She's a narcissistic pig.

Perfect, I hope everyone sues the sh*t out of Kim. She's earned it. She deserves it.

There's no choice in this matter: the dog must be destroyed. Kim was irresponsible to buy him and when the trainer couldn't handle the dog, it was clear it was never suitable for domesticity. But oh, Kim's harmless...except this is a prime example of how dangerous her stupidity and selfishness is. She isn't harmless, she's a menace because she doesn't live in reality, she lives in denial about how her actions have serious consequences.

If only it had eaten Kim. That stupid pit bull should be put down. As if anyone is surprised that Kim's beloved Kingsley did that, look at the owner. Dumb dog, dumb owner.

The money can't hurt, nor can the exposure to a whole new audience, in prime time, in a pop culture vehicle of such relevance like the RH series. It's a great opportunity and another chance at televised immortality. And it's a new adventure. Makes all the sense in the world to me!

Lisa confirmed that she was totally surprised by the slap delivered by Brandi at the end of filming... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYaPkHuPkzk

A great season premiere. Kristen is nuts, likely some sort of personality disorder, but she's done well to find someone equally loathsome in James...he shouldn't keep banging on about how he's 22 when Tom Sandoval looks younger than him. And I'd be willing to bet that BMW is leased. Kristen is obsessive and obsessive people are dangerous. Of the SUR staff, aside from Peter the manager, Tom Schwartz seems to be the most decent person on the show, but judging from the previews...this could change. Jax is a laughing stock. He's how old and is a bartender getting a nose job while dating two women. The whole thing wreaks. Lisa and Robert Earl, another member of the British contingent in Hollywood, have been friends for many, years and, surprise, surprise, his bar Mixology hosted Sheana's birthday party/disaster. Lisa is looking gorgeous as ever.

Dim Richards!?

I find the opposite. Kim is dangerous and reckless, sloppy and lonely. An absolute mess. I definitely agree, however, that Kyle uses Kim's circumstances to her advantage and tries for sympathy whenever and wherever she can.

Lisa Rinna is anything but an unhinged pitbull, she is a very together person, very sensitive, but very together. Kim is far from harmless, she's an alcoholic who has spent fortunes either poured down her throat or (allegedly) up her nose. She's a mess, selfish, stupid and a waste of space. Listening to the clip, Lisa Rinna says, after hurling her glass fabulously: "Don't you ever go after my f*cking husband!" as Kim slurs "Everyone will know!"

Such old news, people's marriages are over many months before the actual date of separation whether they want to admit it or not. I agree, Lisa V looks surprised to be slapped...we'll see what happens there. And amen, amen, amen. Go for it Lisa Rinna! DRAG THAT BITCH!

The one and only.

The RHOBH trailer is absolutely making my day right now. Lisa V, Eileen and Lisa R absolutely killing it, time to see Sh*t Stain Pillow Kim get dragged by Lisa R (GO FOR IT TAYLOR MCBRIDE!), Brandi and Frumy McKaftan being their sh*tty selves, Yolanda being a mess per usual. This looks like an absolutely amazing season. Go for it ladies, kick some ass!

Yes! What's remarkable is how she hasn't really aged since that opening, which is 10 years ago...

That's it! That 90s shag! Such a shame, it doesn't suit Lisa anymore, she's 51, time to shake things up, maybe grow it out, maybe go shorter? I'm disappointed in Eileen's outfit too, it's very casual compared to the rest of them (including Yolanda's STD dress). She needed to be in something full length and bold. She can handle it. Stumpy McCaftan just wouldn't stand being anything less than front and centre...but she knows, deep down, how inferior she is, and it just galls her. We have to satisfy ourselves with that knowledge. She'll never be Empress Lisa, no matter what she does or however low she stoops. She isn't capable of being her.

That's an unfortunate choice of dress that Yolanda chose: the pattern resembles an STI under a microscope. Lisa Rinna's hairstyle is outdated now.

Lord...Teresa, put that money in a college fund, not on an insipid music video
