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.

NYC The ending of this season was fantastic because the cast, collectively, turned on Aviva's crazy ass and laughed at her. It wasn't so much dramatic as it was comical. Aviva's fury just couldn't be contained and throwing that leg was a masterstroke. The reunion, so far, has been enjoyable. Carole has done f*cked up her face and the blond hair looks bizarre. Sonja is delusional, bless her, but she seemed to have a good grasp of what her business ACTUALLY is (ie: decorating and flipping houses) versus all the garbage she spews about a ton of deals during the season. Sonja's face is her fortune but she should realize that she needs to snag a rich husband to properly move on with her life. Kristin was irrelevant as ever. The breast implants sent a radar signal to me that her marriage is doomed. Women often visit their plastic surgeon about a year before their divorce lawyer. And again she just didn't seem that bright. Ramona is on the defensive and she's a damn fool if she thinks she's going to get away without talking about Mario and the implosion of her marriage, she really can dish it but can't take it. Heather didn't have much to do this episode, but she is generally such a good sport throughout the season that she has nothing to hide or fear. LuAnn is the MVP of the season and it's fitting that she was introduced as one of the housewives by Andy. If anyone ever deserved to return full time it's LuAnn, she made this season so enjoyable to watch. She was the highlight.

OC Tamra is a lying liar who lies and her lies are now starting to catch up with her. In previous seasons she had been wily enough to always have someone set up to be the topic of conversation so that the heat would be off of her...and then came Shannon. Shannon is batshit crazy. The scene with her daughter with all that homeopathic crap was uncomfortable to watch. Her kids will be hypochondriacs at the rate she's going. But Shannon is also very focused and it the moment she knew of Tamra's betrayal she started holding her to account. And she is relentless with her misdirected fury at Heather, which caused Heather to turn up the heat on Tamra. Vicki has been burned by Tamra before and I get the impression Vicki just can't be bothered with these broads anymore. Maybe she'll return next season. I hope she does. I always find her funny...but you can tell she's living her life and letting the cameras follow her, she isn't interested in setting up drama for its own sake, nor is she being particularly diplomatic. But Vicki always delivers and is great value for money. Lizzie's birthday was so pathetically unfortunate. That said, she comes from money, has a nice personality and a husband who clearly loves her. Thus, she's a winner.

OC What a great episode. It was tense and a joy to watch Tamra back peddle and squirm. I don't know if Terry said he'd like to take down the Bedors...but I am sure Tamra told Shannon and Vicki that. Lizzie is perceptive and I think when it's time to lower the boom she will. And that will be glorious. Shannon is fascinating to watch because she is a live wire of crazy. It really is something to behold. She and David seem to loathe each other. We'll see what happens at the reunion. NYC First off, anyone else seen the US Weekly article claiming Harry's ring scene with Sonja was a set up courtesy of Ramona and strictly for the cameras? I just love LuAnn and why she isn't holding an apple is beyond me. She has given so much juice to this season and has been far more involved than Aviva or Carole. Kristin...I just cannot with this idiot. Her husband's work pays the bills, sure he's a jerk, but if she was cool living in a tiny house in New Jersey he'd have time for her. Josh is realising he married a moron and that he only went for looks. I can't pity Kristin or Josh because they made their choices and are only now living with them.

OC I loved this week because the slow implosion of Shannon's marriage is like a car wreck in slow motion. I don't want to look away, even though I should. Heather and Shannon are both to blame for their own bullshit, but Tamra has been fanning those flames very stealthily and it is high time that she pay for all the crap she's pulled on everyone else. Vicki can always be counted on to be hilarious by footing her foot in her mouth...but she can't always count on being as charming as she has been this season. She seems calm, kind and happy. Really, she radiates happiness. Not giving a damn is clearly working for her. Yes, the Brooks thing is a mess and her relationship with Brianna is clearly in a rough patch...but I can't help but root for the OG of the OC. Lizzie seems really sweet and good natured and I like how level headed her talking heads are. Really, this season of OC has been so enjoyable to watch. NYC LuAnn for the win zinging Ramona. She is this season's MVP. I love how there is always one episode featuring Ramona and Sonja going to their dermatologist, Dr. Sharon, who is clearly doing something very right for these two who are ageing beautifully. Mario cannot sing. Neither can Heather. However, props to both of 'em for getting up there! Carole bores me to no end. Sonja has so many of the little snippets of being totally in control and looking drop dead gorgeous that I can't help but wonder what the hell is going on with her? Harry seems good for her. I wish those two would just get married and be happy. Aviva is so lazy this season. She had better lose that leg in a big fight, otherwise she has been a total bust. Kristin is so annoying and whiney. Her crappy marriage with Josh (no prize himself) is tiresome to watch in comparison to Shannon and David on OC...she should definitely not survive the cast cull at the end of this season.

YES! That's what it is! I was having such a hard time articulating what it is about Kristin I can't stand!

That's IT. Kristin is the white Porsha. Good lord.

Sherri's ultimately fighting for the child she already has, her son Jeffrey, because her soon to be ex-husband is absolutely making a play for her money, money that could otherwise be used for Jeffrey. The child isn't biologically hers, she compromised for the sake of her marriage. I hope a judge goes in her favour.

OC Loved this past week's episode. Shannon's marriage is a trainwreck, explosive, disaster. Shannon herself is batshit crazy and a loose cannon. Ultimately, she is making this season for me. The imminent demise of Tamra's reputation is too good to wait for. NYC Montana was so boring. It wasn't as bad as NJ's Arizona trip, that's a whole other level, but it was so similar to the Berkshires, that I couldn't differentiate much of the action. Kristin sucks. An annoying whiner. I'm glad Heather laid into her. LuAnn continues to be amazing.

That is amazing. Shannon is so right for this franchise. Such a wreck.

In RHOV news...Jody's divorce went to trial at the Supreme Court of British Columbia (a very rare occurrence)...and it's been revealing. 1) Jody underwent a court ordered psychological assessment which determined that she displays narcism and aggression (no duh!). 2) Jody is in credit card debt and has other debts totalling $148,000. 3) She has no equity left in her three properties, including the West Vancouver condo shown on the show, they're all mortgaged. 4) She has monthly expenses of $50,000 a month. 5) Her catering company hasn't been open since 2005. 6) Her clothing store has never made a profit. 7) She made $800,000 for the two seasons of RHOV. She has not had any income for 2 years. 8) She no longer considers herself a celebrity as her blue verified check has been removed from Twitter. http://www.theprovince.com/news/rather+Expenses+total+month+Housewives+star+Jody+Claman+tells+divorce+court/9977606/story.html http://www.theprovince.com/news/Real+Housewives+divorce+trial+plays+like+well+reality+show/9982168/story.html http://www.theprovince.com/news/Real+Housewives+Jody+Claman+divorce+trial+longer+celebrity/9982168/story.html To quote the immaculate Gina Liano of RHOMelbroune: karma's a bitch and she knows where you live. Finally, Jody is getting what's due to her.

However, good to hear LuAnn is on the couch seated like the housewife that she is.

Completely agree.

This. Completely. Lizzie comes from money, she knows how the game is played, she will patiently wait, and when the time is right, she will strike.

All hail The Queen! Long Live The Queen! She's the reason to watch BH, I hope her deal reflects that.
