It might turn out great...but Cheshire is the Beverly Hills of Northern England, not London and the difference between Northern English people and Southern English people is startling. Empress Lisa is from the South of England (Kent to be exact), so don't expect her accent to come out of any of the Cheshire ladies' mouths. They'll be flashy and perhaps a little rough...but Vancouver and Melbourne have proven what a success international RH franchises can be.

That's how I feel. Tamra is one you can love to hate and cheer for her enemies when they destroy her (like Vicki did with her epic "You're Miserable" monologue at the reunion)...Kyle's just an ugly hearted bitch whose never moved past highschool. Kyle makes me fast forward. Tamra never does.

Even when it isn't airing the RHOA drama dominates.

From the sounds of it Barbara is being muzzled by ABC: http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv/live-barbara-walters-view-sources-article-1.1947927

Nolan Miller was a hidden gem of Hollywood gossip, he knew where all the bodies were buried and he didn't give a flying f*ck about whether people cared for his opinion because he was saying it anyway...and he was kind. He and Joan Collins were very, very close friends. In her 2013 memoir, Passion for Life, she has a section on her close friends and Nolan has several pages dedicated to him. Although he and Linda went way back it was Joan who he stuck with. Joan hosted his memorial, inviting several Dynasty cast members, all dressed super glamorously. Nolan, like Joan, thought Pamela Sue Martin was so stupid to quit the show when she did, especially since Emma Samms, while generally panned as Fallon, was extremely well liked behind the scenes and secured herself the job for life.

Camille has been photographed filming with the ladies, not sure if Taylor's been spotted yet. As you've rightly pointed out, we haven't heard much from Yolanda...hmmm. And wouldn't it be great to film Dana/Pam in prison? We can dream!

Exactly. Queen Eileen can do whatever she damn well wants when it comes to the irrelevant Kim. I'm curious to see how Lisa Rinna and Queen Eileen do/do not get along. I am also hearing that Brandi has clashed with Lisa Rinna...this might be a good season. Here's the story: http://radaronline.com/exclusives/2014/09/real-housewives-beverly-hill-rhobh-eileen-davidson-kim-richards-feud/

Radar Online is reporting that Eileen Davidson and Kim Richards have clashed on RHOBH and that Eileen is constantly rolling her eyes at Kim and that she comes off as "aloof"....GOOD! As if I couldn't love Eileen more, hatred of Kim has just raised her in my eyes!

They're going to have a really great life in Australia. Great decision for Simon and Alex and their boys.

Go Wendy! Those ratings of hers are nothing to scoff at. I have long said that she is next Oprah...not in terms of the show itself and the tone and her reach per se, but just as Oprah captured the zeitgeist, so has Wendy. She launched at exactly the right moment. I love her show. I love her. How you doin?

Man, that's everything.

I thought it was a strong start. I like the set, I thought the Barbara Walters cameo at the beginning was wise to do (as if that shady ho was actually going to retire?), the Joan Rivers tribute was lovely and the chemistry seems to be there. But they need a 5th woman at the table.

Andrea was to Melbourne what that cow Jody Claman was to Vancouver. Not getting rid of Jody was what made season 2 of Vancouver so toxic and why it died such a vile death.

Melbourne was utterly perfect. In the running with Vancouver for best ever series. Those two international shows did the RH franchise on another level. Can't wait for season 2 of Melbourne.

"Gloves are off...f*ck me? Thank you. I had a great year. I had a great year. I had a great year. I've had three years of hell. I had a great year, are you jealous? Are you jealous I had a good year and I'm happy? Guess what, you're not happy because you can't see happiness amongst anybody else! If you're so happy then why are you so miserable? Ladies, does she look like she's little bit miserable at times? Miserable! You're supposed to be getting better and better and better but guess what you get bitter and bitter and bitter. That's what you do! You cause your own demise because you talk bad about people and it comes right back at you. If you're so happily married why are you so angry and ugly to the people who care about you. I hope you don't ruin that. Why are you going into my relationship, nasty person? Good! Then stay the hell out of it! And don't say f*ck you to me ever again. Next Questions!" - Vicki Vicki DRAGGED Tamra's sorry ass. She absolutely destroyed her. Nuked her. She didn't see it coming. Vicki was balls to the wall fearless with Tamra, she didn't see it coming from a mile away. "You can't sit here and tell me you remember things about me, but you don't remember what they are!" - Shannon Shannon silenced Heather, shut her the hell up and that's a first. "I forgive and forget all the time. All the time. Vicki's done so much sh*t to me that I'm constantly forgiving and forgetting what she's done..." - Tamra. Showing her dumb ass and how she can't even lie about forgiveness. And then she couldn't even hold in her anger at Lizzie when she tried to fake cry about being hurt. I really enjoyed this reunion. Vicki and Shannon for the BIG win. Tamra and Heather were nailed to the wall.

Totally agreed on Cray Cray Shannon. She was the MVP of this season, she WAS this season...the implosion of her marriage (and it's supposed resurrection) was something to behold. Tamra was only able to stir the pot with her bullsh*t and lies because she had Shannon's fodder to play with. Terry and Heather did not come off well in this most recent episode of the reunion...the construction worker comment couldn't be back tracked on. I still love Vicki. The OG of the OC.

LOVING the cast shot. Glorious.

OC First of all...THE GUITAR MUSIC! Thank goodness I got to hear those familiar strums...it really wouldn't be the finale of a season of RHOC without it. "There goes my life!"...that was the realest moment this whole season, I sure felt for Vicki. She meant those words. She was devastated. I'm glad she's selling the house, moving somewhere near the beach, finding a new life for herself. I sure hope she returns next season, she makes the show for me. Lizzie doesn't give a damn about this show, she might be a one season wonder. She's a good fit, but unremarkable. Tamra emoting through her Botox was incredibly disturbing. She "made up" with Brooks in the nick of time. She is an emotional manipulator, I didn't like what I was seeing at the end with Ryan...he's smart to move away from her. She's an emotional tornado. Shannon and David...you know...I don't mind them at all. Shannon really kept it together at that dinner. She didn't crack once. David took the Dubrows insults very well. The Dubrows came off TERRIBLY. In fact, they're the only ones who came off terribly this episode and this season as a whole. They did, in fact, trash David for being a "construction guy"...it was snobbishness at its worst. Although Shannon blew out of proportion Heather asking her to leave her house, Heather's inability to be gracious just wrecked her in my eyes. Her ghastly blindness to Tamra's tactics also doesn't help her cause. And Terry's faux outrage (anyone whose seen 'Botched' on E! knows Terry has a salty tongue and a naughty sense of humour) just missed the mark completely. Overall, this was a great season, I wasn't ever bored. Bring on season 10...and let's see some of the OG's of the OC: Jeana, Lauri, Lynn and Tammy come to mind!

OC It wasn't quite the spectacular fall for Tamra that I was awaiting so anxiously because she ran away like a coward the moment she sensed trouble. And then she sat in her bed as Heather came to her, like an idiot, desperate for confirmation that Tamra does, indeed, care for her. That was a weak moment of Heather's...she should have had Tamra sweat it out a bit to rattle her. I loved Lizzie's bluntness: "You're crap Tamra. You're the most insecure woman I've ever met." She actually called her crap! That was hilarious and very real. Shannon was so ready for a fight and she did a good job of flashing her receipts to Tamra. Tamra really had nothing to say in rebuttal. Shannon really threw her for a loop. That was interesting to see, the only person who did that before was Jeana...Jeana and Shannon as a team against Tamra? Amazing. Get on it Andy! Vicki was quaking with hurt. She really does let it all hang out, sweating like a ham in that Balinese heat, unbelievably angry and sad and upset and destroyed about the Tamra/Brooks debacle. I like that Vicki remains natural on the show. She isn't always likeable, but she is who she is.

She. Is. Totally. Fucked.

Oh JackPeyton, you don't actually see anything admirable or 'badass' about Mario's behaviour do you? He's a terrible person without any redeeming features. Give him a couple years, when he sits on the toilet he'll look like he's making a cup of tea with the way his balls will drop. Old douchebag.

For all we know Ramona's already lit the car on fire in their Hampton's driveway. Mario's a pig and I hope she takes him to the cleaners.

YES!!! For once the absolutely vile bitch of the show couldn't take the heat of the whole world seeing what a piece of sh*t she is and isn't returning. Melbourne learned from Vancouver, having that pig Jody Claman stay on made the show toxic. Way to go Melbourne! Bring on another amazing season!

OC Lizzie handled Tamra pretty well, which, considering Tamra's track record of decimating people with dishonesty and lies, is really quite the achievement. Vicki was a hoot on the trip. The dry heaving alone made the episode for me. Danielle is beyond irrelevant and such a whiner. Thank goodness the Bravo editing wizards decided she sucked early on. Shannon is so deliciously crazy, like a classic loon, I hope she stays on for next season. The 20 hour Bali flight is a long one...but they were in sleep pods, hardly cattle class.
