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

The thing is, Rosie O'Donnell came in with a lot of conditions that ABC was happy to oblige: namely firing Bill Geddie and making the tone of the show more serious. Rosie O'Donnell specifically said: No Real Housewives. She didn't want another Elisabeth Hasselbeck, and ABC was on board with that. And I do agree with her, American television is dumb enough without a reality star on the panel. The issue is, they maybe went a little too serious and the 4 woman panel doesn't work, they need a 5th and they need to be young and fun. Meghan McCain would have been absolutely ideal and but for her contractual obligations with a small start up network, I firmly believe she would have been hired. And who knows, maybe The View is waiting for her contract to run out so they can hire her? Moving The View to ABC News is likely what quartermainefan suggests: to make the news demos more favourable.

LOL! Yes! Frank Gorshin, that's exactly who I was meaning! Congratulations, Kristen, you've been married to Frank Gorshin for 10 years...

He looks like the Joker from the 1960s Batman.

Well now we know what Kristen's storyline for RHNY will be.... http://instagram.com/p/uyDNYbjicA/

Oh...that wig is so bad. Nene has been looking like a low end hooker since Kim left the show. And yes, that's shade on both of them.

Different strokes, LuAnn threw shade this season so beautifully and it's always refreshing to have one of the housewives not be a crazy bitch.

Yesssssss

LuAnn was the best part of last season! Nobody deserves to return more than she does!

Having watched the Secrets Revealed episode of NJ I can say three things: 1) The twins are annoying trash 2) Amber is crass, loud, boorish and tacky 3) Joe Giudice surprised the hell out of me, he's going to do just fine with his girls because he has enough of a sense of humour and a gentleness with his girls that they're going to do just fine while Teresa is in the slammer.

Nolan was a joy. Easily Joan's best friend on the set. I don't think it would be Bob Mackie, it would very likely be Mark Zunino who took over Nolan's company (and still designs clothes for Joan).

Doesn't Lisa look thrilled to be next to those heifers?

I just knew Rinna and Davidson weren't going to get along, all of the press kept mentioning how they'd have an "interesting dynamic"...and I knew that couldn't be good! Damn, a January wait?! That's ages!

Whether people love or hate Phaedra, this video is pretty adorable:

The article that confirms Kristen's return is the official Bravo press release, so it's a sure thing she's back. I also have to ask myself why they bothered with her, maybe the plan is to watch another marriage implode? Or do they consider her the new Alex? That try hard that never quite gets there...
