That's a good/bad photo shop job. She doesn't look THAT bad in reality.

If the above story is true about Joanna Krupa and Yolanda's ex husband then I say three cheers for Yolanda. There is a woman who knows her worth and that she was above staying with an unfaithful husband, it sounds like Yolanda got $35 million in her divorce settlement, which is tax free. This week's episode of RHoBH revealed a few things... 1) Adrienne is as dumb as a bag of rocks. She could hardly formulate a sentence at her lunch with Lisa. Her "apology" was nonsense and Lisa clearly knew it. I appreciate how Lisa lives her life, she borrows from HRH Princess Margaret's motto: never complain, never explain, never apologise. 2) Kim is trying really hard. And for that, I give her a round of applause. 3) Kyle and Lisa are obviously no longer close friends. Kyle's glee at being a bitch behind Lisa's back is disgusting. 4) Taylor is irrelevant. She shouldn't return next season. 5) Camille is practically still on the show as much as she always was, it's clear that Bravo realised her worth, stealth bitch that she is, 6) Yolanda does not play games. Love her. 7) Brandi, like Kim, is making an effort. 8) Lisa, as always, is fabulous.

RHoBH... Lisa: FABULOUS. She has a keen understanding of people and brilliant common sense. She is so on point about Adrienne and Paul. Adrienne & Paul: they have fallen so hard in my estimation. They deserve each other. They're both humourless bitches. Taylor: alcoholic grifter. Kim: someone deserving of pity as she put away her table of snacks and lemonade for her daughter's prom. Yolanda: I like her. I love her fridge. Her husband, David Foster, came off as a jerk. Kyle: as phony as a 4 dollar bill.

All HAIL Empress Lisa. She is so utterly fabulous. I could explode with love for this woman. In life, there are winners and there are losers and Lisa is the archetypical WINNER. I just have no sh*ts to give for Adrienne. She is such a nasty bitch. Kyle is trying to be Mrs Perfect Fabulous and it comes across as fake as hell and major sh*t stirring. Props to Brandi for fleeing that nightmare of a birthday party. Kim is a subdued wreck, clearly. Camille seems to be back to her season 1 levels of bitch, she's just as much a sh*t stirrer as Kyle.Taylor was wasted at a children's birthday party which I thought was disgusting, she's such a plastic pig. Although Yolanda came off as a stage mother, she was BANG ON with how that modelling shoot went and I love how icy she is. It's clear that only Yolanda and Brandi give a damn about Lisa. Kyle, Adrienne, Taylor and Camille are against her. And Kim doesn't know if she's even in LA County.

Very interesting. If that's the legit reason...and I have no reason to doubt Wendy...all respect to Kim for taking her pregnancy seriously. Whatever it was had to be serious.

I haven't watched ATL yet...and I might not now that it's only Nene and Kim left holding down the "Originals" fort. RHOBH: Adrienne is one bitter, delusional bitch. She thinks Lisa should just "get over it"...in what world? That's insane. Kyle is one angry, resentful bitch. Taylor was far less annoying than she used to be, likely because she realised she couldn't burn every bridge she had on the show. Kim looks better than she did, she also looks like someone who is on addiction altering medication (ie Antabuse). Yolanda looks like good fun. LOVING Lisa. Whatever she thinks needs to be said or done, I am 100% in this woman's corner.

If we're going to talk about lame opening lines...Brandi's is just the worst (and I like Brandi and hate Taylor)..."Money doesn't give you class...it just gives you money"...so stupid.

God, I love Lisa. "Life isn't all diamonds and rose. But it should be."

The Vancouver Reunion was a good one because Jody just reiterated how truly disgusting she is. I'm glad you enjoyed Vancouver, it's probably my favourite series (and now just because it's my home!), like an earlier poster mentioned about RHOM (which I haven't seen) looking SO Miami, I can say that RHOV looks SO Vancouver.

Neither can I! I just loathe Adrienne, such a bitch.

That's how I see the BH ladies as well...except I have a little more hate for Adrienne since she tried to slander Lisa with the RadarOnline claims...I cannot wait to see Lisa!

I miss none of the old NY Housewives. The Jill Zarin interview was up there in terms of Diane Sawyer/Whitney Houston kind of crazy. Jill is one delusional bitch; Andy seemed uncomfortable with her...Jill forces intimate contact, Andy clearly only wanted to shake her hand...but oh no, Jill went for the hug and kiss and forced his hand. I loved this season of RHoNYC and I hope they keep the cast exactly as is. In terms of NJ, I would watch it again if Danielle returned and Jacqueline and Kathy were fired and replaced by Dina.

Well that's the funny thing because Lee hates Carole. In fact, Carole hasn't spoken to Lee in years.

Exactly. Firstly the lying about the leg puts me off right away, as if losing her foot wasn't bad enough, Aviva has to embellish her story and say it was her leg that was crunched in the conveyor belt. And it bothered me that Aviva proudly recounted her father telling her to "keep screaming"...she's taken that as her mantra ever since...whenever she feels slighted in the least Aviva just keeps screaming like an incoherent mess. Aviva only offered that lame ass "apology" because the public turned on her big time, the Watch What Happens Live poll was super damning. When 80% of the audience is on Ramona's side, one needs to duck and cover. Her apology was an absolute pile of nonsense. She wasn't sincere in the slightest. Her "clarification" about calling Ramona and Sonja "white trash" was ludicrous. Her justification for Reid calling the women "overweight girls gone wild" was also ludicrous. Her "I want to be a normal woman and take my daughter to Paris!" was ludicrous. Everything about Aviva is ludicrous. And here's the funny thing, as hated as she is, this crazy bitch wants to stay on the show, DESPERATELY! It was very clear that she wants to return, all of her fake apologies and stories and whining just reinforced her need to return. Loved Luann vs Carole. Carole came off really poorly...much as I could appreciate Carole I think the woman we saw on the reunion is the real deal of who she is, an elitist snob who needed money from her friend Andy Cohen...without the comfort of editing, tape delay and retakes...she could not go toe to toe with The Countess de Lesseps!

I agree with everything. In terms of Ramona and Sonja, they were in rare form. Calm, lucid, shooting to kill. They absolutely annihilated Aviva, they gave her the rope and she hung herself, repeatedly. Aviva came off HORRIBLY, as thick as a plank and an absolutely entitled, nasty bitch. The kind of nasty bitch who couldn't even lie properly, her "apology" was ludicrous, she was bubbling with rage the entire time. And I kept thinking back to Sonja really laying it out there in St Barth's about where Aviva's "ass would end up" after calling her a double dealer. Sonja's got the dirt on Aviva and Aviva knows it. Heather came off great, totally sane and I liked her dynamic with Ramona. Carole vs Luann...honestly I really was on Luann's side, Carole seems like such a snob, attempting to pass off her participation on RHoNYC as some kind of journalistic experiment...and the "friend jumping" thing with borrowing the dress? Such a mountain out of a molehill. Luann came out swinging. Can't wait for next week!

Not only could they not afford it but Joe and Melissa Gorga were actually committing fraud by living in that house. Joe Gorga built it with a speculation loan, theses loans specifically forbid the builder from living in the property...which is exactly what they were doing. When the loan expired Joe Gorga transferred the loan into a balloon mortgage...well we know how well they managed that since they put the house on the market, in addition to their ghetto shack on the Jersey Shore.

Well I've read the court filing with my wife (a lawyer) and it's bad. Really bad. Jacqueline and Chris Laurita (in addition to three in laws) have all been named in the bankruptcy and alleged to have embezzled, defrauded and conspired together to (according to the judge) "provide for their increasingly opulent lifestyle" to the tune of $55 million in creditors. Frankly, I've always though Jacqueline seemed sleazy and that her husband was too good to be true (just like her ex-husband and his wife, you all recall them, the insurance fraudsters?)...so this doesn't really surprise me. What does surprise me is how much money is involved. It's a boatload of debt and to be accused of personally stealing $7 million from a company they left in the shape of a husk is pretty damning. Makes Teresa's $11 million bankruptcy look like peanuts.

NYC: Aviva is batshit crazy. "He was protecting his CHILD!" she screamed in defence of her elderly father...oh honey, you are a few fries short of a happy meal. Clearly, losing that leg led Aviva to be coddled like a glass doll her whole life, I'm sure she was never corrected and never told "No"...thus all her nasty, illogical, entitled bullshit has been reinforced as positive behaviour her whole life, what a mess Aviva is. I still like having Luann around...I think not having an apartment in NYC and the show not filming at any point in the summer has really hurt Luann. If they shot during August/September/October/November that would provide them with plenty of footage from The Hamptons. I want NYC to return with this exact cast, the show improved SO much this season.

You're joking? Right? I've never seen such a fake bitch in my life.

I disagree about what Aviva said regarding Ramona. I don't think Ramona drives Sonja to drink and party in an attempt to make herself look better. Ramona had no problem being a boozy party girl in Season 1 when Sonja wasn't on the show. As well, Aviva was incorrect about Ramona and Sonja being the ones dancing on the tables in St Barths, so she constructs an argument without facts. Furthermore, her "you two were sleeping naked" comment had a stench of homophobia attached to it (add that to her father describing his latest side piece as having "European features" and Aviva quoting Rush Limbaugh and it's a clear picture of where her head is at). And let's not even touch the "You didn't welcome Reid to the island! It was traumatic for me!" bullshit because it's total nonsense. Ramona called it when she said an awful lot of women would lose a leg for the advantages Aviva has, which was a great retort to Aviva's "You think I don't know PAIN?! I lost a leg!" when the conversation was about how rough life is for Sonja. It's always about Aviva and Ramona called it right. Luann came across amazingly during the Sonja portrait scenes. That was just plain sad to watch and Luann was a first class friend and a good lady there. I hope that what we saw was the REAL Luann, the person she is when the cameras aren't rolling, I really liked that person.

NYC was off the chain this week! Aviva is certifiable. A truly vile, brittle hag who lives in her pampered existence with blinders on. Her brunch with Ramona was insane, Ramona OWNED her ass. Her father crashing Ramona's fundraiser (only to be ejected!) was riveting as well. Luann and Sonja taking down the Morgan Family portraits was also really intense viewing. Sonja has balls of brass, the way she tossed out "White trash does not apologise" to Aviva's father was a masterstroke.

NYC: who else LOVED Sonja's elegant slam of psycho Aviva over pizza and sparkling water. That was amazing! Also, Heather impressed me as being so logical and calm...her retort to Aviva's freaking out about Sonja and Ramona "They didn't ruin my vacation." was a thing of beauty.

They look terrific for their age. Love them both so much!

"There wasn't enough tangerine chiffon in the state of Illinois to make your dress!" I loved her on Roseanne and Roseanne loved having her on as well. Joan once told the story that, as a warm up for the audience, Tom Arnold went out and showed everyone his liposuction scars.

I cannot agree more. I stopped watching NJ because it became so negative, hateful and bitter. It's just draining to watch that much negativity. NYC has done a good job of lightening things up and did the show ever need it. That's why I loved Vancouver so much (aside from my bias in knowing most of the cast and it being my hometown), it had the drama, but it also had the lightness, fun and glamor of how the Housewives franchise started out.
