She certainly is: and she's now airing in their commercial!

The only thing I can say about Kris emulating Joan is that at least Kris is friendly with Joan IRL...

The Linda Evans wig is flawless...but Kris ain't Joan.

That's how I feel too. It all feels produced.

Where is Queen Karen?!

Agreed. I think the last year's events have grounded Karen back to who she probably was a long time ago. I especially liked how she stood up for Katie and encouraged Katie quietly and confidently with all the experience that only a mother could have. Charisse never fit in. She can go swill in her champagne room. As tacky as they come. I really dislike deadbeat debtors. I hope Camille is proven right time and again about the Kemsleys...I just wonder how badly PK is going to kick himself for losing his friendship with LVP thanks to his feckless wife. Teddi has a change of life baby? I can't wait for her to get fat.

I saw!! The premier in 2020 can’t come soon enough!

Absolutely. Gizele is an ugly souled bitch who is loyal to no one and as phoney as her weave. I was so happy for Karen that La'Dame came to fruition and did a pop up launch at Bloomingdale's. Way to go, Karen!

Okay I cannot for the life of me get pasting a link to Twitter to work, so here's the link to a site that's got the screengrabs of Camille explaining that Kyle has always had input at RHOBH because she had the initial development deal with evolution, that there's never been a Most Favoured Nations Clause among the cast, and that Kyle basically fired her: https://www.thegoodteatime.com/single-post/2019/09/08/Camille-Grammer-Feuds-With-Tamra-Judge-Over-Her-RHOBH-Exit-And-Explains-Why-She-Blames-Kyle-Richards

POTOMAC I loved this episode and I loved Karen going IN on Ashley. That was a masterful performance and then for Karen to recollect it so clearly the next day - the shots merely gave The Grande Dame the ability to call things out as she sees them. And she sees them correctly. Ashley's crazy eyes flaring like a rabid dog weren't a good look. Production was clowning Gizelle and Robyn, the veritable keystone cops. OC I just want to say, for the record, that despite Tamra's lies, it was NOT Vicki who brought up 'The Train' against Kelly. Tamra is the one who did that. Tamra. Shane is AWFUL and it looks like he failed the bar. Emily should divorce him, take him to the cleaners, get the kids, and her mother in law who seems to prefer Emily to Shane (quite right!). I liked the end scene with Shannon and Gina. That's the kindest Shannon has been in years. DALLAS A very solid start to the season and it looks like D'Andra has either been dipping into too many fillers or she's gained weight. Stephanie remains one of the loveliest people on television. And I'm glad the rumours of the cheating husband weren't about Travis. He's something of a neanderthal but he seems like a basically decent man (I'm biased in favour of any employer who pays for college for his employees and their kids).

I will be glad if the streets are correct and Erika has been demoted. It could not have happened to a more deserving cast member. The Erika Jayne persona was the only element of Erika Girardi that was popular. However, because Erika Jayne is a constructed performance persona, something she said herself multiple times on the show, Erika ran out of storyline very, very quickly and the last two seasons she has contributed virtually nothing to the show. And when real life became more interesting, as lawsuits starting piling up against the Girardis, and Erika simply closed up shop on that half of her life, it was evident that she'd flown too close to the sun and it was time for her wings to be clipped.

Done!

Done. And I agree with @Cat I loved S4 of Melbourne and didn't hate any of the cast when the season was done. The fallout with Gina was nothing like LVP - it was a very fair fight and Gina was the legitimate source of a lot of nonsense. But none of it couldn't be repaired.

Appears very true per Variety: https://variety.com/2019/tv/news/bethenny-frankel-real-housewives-of-new-york-exit-1203309725/ I think RHONY is in a good position to move on from Bethenny. They had a very strong last two seasons. But they’ll need to recast with someone dynamic and organic as they have done in the past.

Karen gives us so many looks and lewks in each and every episode, she deserves some kind of medal. This last episode of Potomac was incredible. It is racing ahead of the other franchises, with the exception of RHONY. The best franchises have in common that they're funny as much as they are dramatic.

Gizelle had to realize how insane she sounded when she whined about how hard she'd worked to be a 'better person', right? Right? She is just awful and I hope she's roasted at the reunion. Adlon Road in Encino. It's a nice street and Encino is getting a more upscale reputation as time has gone on...but there's a glut of properties in Los Angeles and prices are flat or going down. There is *no way* the $6.5 million price makes a lick of sense. That's a higher price tag than much of Beverly Hills proper. And it's not a large lot. And it doesn't have a view. It's incredibly normal. They might as well start calling the show The Real Housewives of the San Fernando Valley since none of them live in Beverly Hills, with the exception of Rinna who lives in the Beverly Hills Post Office and even then, she's a 5 minute walk across Mulholland to Studio City.

Ashley looks awful and easily the worst of them all. It's deserved, given her character. Robyn is the biggest disappointment with both that hair and dress because she's been looking amazing in the show with the short cropped hair and the perfectly fitting short dresses. Gizelle never has taste and always looks pageant, so she's par for the course. The same applies to Candiace whose dress is trying to be more charismatic than she actually is. Karen tried, but it doesn't work. Monique wins by default, and because her body and hair look incredible. Not a surprise as any cast changes would have been seen by production as an admission that the show doesn't work anymore, that it WAS a gang-up on LVP and that the rest of the cast was at fault. Bravo isn't going to admit that, so the show is going to continue to fall apart at the seams.

WHOA those are ugly looks. The only one who looks OK is Monique.

He tends to have a preference for the hypocritical, loathsome, evil ones. Says something about him.

That would have been perfect. Gizelle had no story of her own this year (as usual) so why she merits first chair is beyond me.

Interesting they've sat The Grande Dame beside awful Ashley. Clink, clink, don't drop the soap now...

+1 to all of it, but the highlighted sections are 100% fire. Ashley is such an unsympathetic character I really don't see why she would think any viewer would be so stupid to not realize all of this is to take the heat off Michael? To call it contrived is being kind. I cannot wait for Karen to carve Gizelle up and serve her dead cold. If Candiace is smart she will throw herself on Monique's mercy. Monique would take the high road if she did. If anything, this episode proves that the show is actually all about Vicki and the rest of the women can't carry a narrative without her. I really cannot stand to see Tamra's ratshit son Ryan. Get him off our screens stat.

It's such a squandered opportunity. And from you lips to God's ears re Locklear and the peak Melrose Place cast. That is the sequel we need.

They had incredible mother/daughter chemistry. Linda, Alicia, Stephen and Victoria all deserved Emmys for their roles in the alcoholism storyline.

Absolutely, none of this rings true at all. In her VT with the terrible Rick James wig when she was talking about her dad blocking her she couldn't well up a single tear. Everything about this storyline is so random and strikes such a false note I think Ashley is desperate to cover for Michael and make all this ass-grabbing go away.
