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.

That's good to hear because I'm really enjoying OC a lot this season too. Really, OC and NYC have a lot of the same going right for themselves in terms of their tone and focus.

The ratings aren't good, but I think that has less to do with the show than it does with the promotion of the show. The 'Moldavian Massacre' happened with the RH franchises as a whole once Russell Armstrong killed himself, but RHONYC has had next to no promotion this season, and lord knows why, the trailers were epic and the episodes themselves have been satisfying. Does anyone know offhand what the OC ratings are like this season?

I find the ratings for NYC so disappointing because I am loving this season. For me there is a good balance of light moments and drama. I would absolutely jump ship if Jill Zarin returned.

If I were Joe I'd want my sentencing over with. Why not have all the bad news at once?

I am loving OC this season, so many great ingredients have come together: a likeable new woman (Lizzie), the maturing OG of the OC (Vicki), the crumbling bitch (Tamra), the classy one (Heather) and the one whose nuts (Shannon). It's about damn time Tamra's ass got exposed. Ever since she dared tangle with Jeana Keough with her "cyst and deceased" letter she has been dead to me. Loving Vicki's storyline this year, she is clearly devoted to her children, her grandson and her career. She seems way more relaxed, way less tense than last season, Gretchen (and that leach Slade) going was just what this franchise needed. Lizzie had many cute scenes. Shannon is crazy. Like, insane, Southern California crazy. She actually takes her kids to get crystal energy massages and all that crap? And of course when the going gets tough, she breaks down and goes to a real doctor for a stress test. It was bizarre to see her ponder the state of her marriage when it seems like she and her husband just can't stand each other. Next week with Heather at her most imperious looks amazing.

Updated: she's recovering fine in hospital. She was shot in the shoulder.

In RHOV news... Mia Claman, the heinous daughter of Jody Claman, was shot in the back multiple times during a drive by shooting. Police confirm the shooting was gang related and that Claman was not the intended victim, the man she was with was and that he is known to police. No suspects have been arrested.

Kim Richards was only relevant in season one when she was a messy alcoholic. Since then, she has been absolutely useless. But like the worst pests she will not leave. Kyle knows she's absolutely screwed without Kim to bolster how she's the 'good' sister. Christine Chiu has some dodgy breast implants going on there...and for a plastic surgeon, her husband's face looks like a wax candle nearing its end. I just don't see the upcoming RHOBH season going well. I hope Lisa gets whatever deal she wants, she deserves it.

I felt the same way, I wish there had been more British women. Caroline Stanbury was never what she's pretending she was. It Girl? Please. Tamara Beckwith she is not. Caprice is great, she doesn't take herself seriously.

I have always said: if Lisa goes, I go. And I suspect I won't be the only one who adopts that position. That said, I don't think she's leaving BH, they'll make a deal, keenly aware that, without her, there is no show.

Between the implants and the weave/wig/whatever she is in Traci Bingham territory of stupidity.

Lynne Curtin of RHOC gets the award for worst mother: her daughter did porn to pay for implants and a nose job. And the other one is a tattoo covered pinup dubbed "Suttin Suicide" http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2641971/Former-Real-Housewives-star-Lynne-Curtin-shocked-discover-daughter-Alexa-did-porn-pay-plastic-surgery.html
