+1 to this point in particular. Sonja was at her very best in last night's episode. She wasn't letting Ramona say her heinous crap without getting told, in no uncertain terms, that she was wrong. Sonja has oftentimes demonstrated a warmth and fairness in her dealings with others that is admirable. She is loyal without being a sycophant.

+1 Wholeheartedly agree. I kept muttering "No, no, no" as I washed the evening's dishes while BH played. I cannot, for the life of me, understand how any of these women thought this was going to be riveting to watch - Kyle, Rinna, Teddi, Dorit, Erika - all of 'em circling the talk show circuit crowing about how LVP was going down. Teddi can't keep her story straight to save her life. She keeps changing details, big and small, all while crying as if anyone should really care. Kyle is fake as hell. She's happy to hear all of the women trash LVP. And the splits. Again? Sigh. She's quite predictable. Rinna can't help but insert herself into every single scene that involves trashing LVP. It isn't her fight and yet she's obsessed. It's interesting to see Camille say that LVP asked her to confront Taylor back in the day (wise given that Taylor wouldn't have listened to a word LVP said since her grifter ass was constantly on the defensive)...frankly Camille should be thanking LVP, she gave her an incredible pop culture moment with "We don't say it BUT NOW WE'VE SAID IT!" The best part of the episode was LVP in the back of the Rolls Royce blithely slamming Teddi while she powdered her face. Effortless fun to watch.

Count me in. I cannot wait and that trailer looked fresh and dramatic. Do we have an airdate? ATL was crap yesterday. Eva's hair was a disaster at her wedding.

Okay so I've been analyzing Ramona's face to figure out what the hell is going on with her nose. And here are my theories...it might be one or the other, or a combination of the two. 1. It's simply an unflattering camera angle. Ramona's nose has never been symmetrical (very few of us have symmetrical features) but the angle that Ramona's confessionals have been filmed in have usually favoured one side and have not been shot as low (a lot of the problem is that we're looking up to Ramona, and veritably up her nose). 2. Ramona may have had fillers in the past, and they're fading, leaving her true facial architecture on display. I think this is less likely, but it could be a contributing factor. Sonja does the "liquid nose job" which uses tiny amounts of filler to recontour the nose - and Ramona might as well, but might have let hers wear off too much and it's noticeable.

She's looking at 5 - 10 years, so I doubt it. Really, this is far too serious a crime to come back from career wise. And given the ridiculous aversion to reality about the lawsuits facing Dorit and PK, Mauricio and Tom Girardi, there's no way we'd get reality on Lori and her mess. Just in case it hadn't been posted, Mauricio has been sued again about that Malibu mansion: https://pagesix.com/2019/03/14/mauricio-umansky-husband-of-kyle-richards-sued-over-32m-mansion/

100% on both Dorinda and Ramona’s nose. I can’t for the life of me explain what’s happened to it.

I love that Ken had the receipts while Teddi had an edited screen shot. And yes. Everyone needs to refresh their memories about Dorit being chased around the pool by a furious Beverly Beach creditor. I recall the credit calls Dorit a "cheap bitch"...and whose right beside Dorit? Rinna. It's all too laughably gross. I truly hope LVP is done with Kyle. Kyle is unworthy of her friendship and appears loyal to no one.

RHOBH What was that? That was Teddi's smoking gun? What the hell? Firstly, Teddi's alleged evidence was a lone sliver of a text message from this John Blizzard character. And that isn't evidence - it's hearsay. Just because John Blizzard said LVP wanted Teddi to know doesn't make it so. And it's interesting that she took a sliver of a screenshot, rather than a page of text. I wonder why she'd want to redact something so heavily? Well, the text messages Ken had spoke volumes, didn't they? Pages of them. Pages that show that Teddi and John Blizzard were thick as thieves and that Teddi was all about making a moment on camera. Kyle was laying the groundwork for all of this earlier in the day a she prodded LVP to talk about Dorit and then later in the evening when Teddi asked Kyle if she'd spoken to LVP, it was clear they'd planned that conversation. The entire boat trip with Rinna saying "you did it for your children" was insane melodrama that nobody is buying. Dorit did the wrong thing. Period! Deliciously, LVP withheld from the pack of harridans otherwise known as Kyle, Rinna, Erika, Doritos and Teddi the very thing they wanted: a big fight...she just got up from that table and left. She robbed them of their moment. And that was great to see. Importantly, Camille really shone this episode, brimming with common sense. Denise was a bit of a non-event, but she also seems a bit bewildered at everything.

Yes. I’d missed a few episodes but tuned back in for this one and I wasn’t disappointed at all with it. Nene lost it. And I concur with @Cheap21 Team Marlo on this one and I don’t even like her.

A number of AW cast members, including Linda Dano, Anna Stuart, Anna Holbrook, Stephen Schnetzer and Amy Carlson got together for dinner to celebrate the life of Carmen Duncan:

I think it's totally fine to throw out the devil's advocate position that LVP would have had her employees say it on camera about Dorit so she could keep her hands clean of it. The point remains...Dorit was wrong! She had already returned one dog to Vanderpump Dogs, she knew the drill, she had seen the contract twice, and yet she still "gave it to a lovely woman" (ie: Shelly Ter)...it's bizarre to me that THIS is the hill these housewives chose to die on: blaming LVP for pointing out that Dorit was irresponsible and wrong. There is no excuse for what Dorit did. She did the wrong thing. Both Camille and Denise pointed it out and seemed bewildered at the whole thing. That's why this is all so foul. LVP's brother commits suicide and this is what Kyle and Rinna and Teddi think was worth attacking her over? This is the big scandal? Stupid. Too stupid for words.

@SFK @Cat @Mr. Vixen The promo for next Friday's episode of Hawaii Five-O in which Joan guest stars:

Exactly! It was KYLE who said it, not LVP. This has Kyle and Rinna's stink all over it. That said, I do understand some of the criticism of LVP and I too thought she was just dumb to bother with Erika. I understand LVP's point about the card...in her mind, or at least she wants the audience to think, she feels Erika is a better friend to her than that. But Erika isn't. She's never been LVP's friend. And LVP needs to get real. Erika is a cold, humourless, awful bitch. I love you guys!

The casting director is the same as The Crown...which is quite delicious. This has the makings of being a very well done limited series. And I just hope that Dame Joan and Jackie's Estate were well compensated for selling the life rights to their life story.

Even simpler than that: Dorit is the one in the wrong. She's the one who ditched the dog in breach of the adoption agreement after ditching a prior dog back to Vanderpump Dogs. How did these fools think that the audience wasn't going to conclude that?

BH What a hit job of an episode. That was gross. Firstly, you've got LVP being devastated and basically sleep walking through the episode as she endures Dorit's false joie de vivre, asking bizarre questions like "Aren't you happy we're such close friends?"...who asks that? She was baiting LVP non-stop. LVP was heartbreaking when she spoke to Kyle about her fights with Kim and Kathy. She was full of compassion and wisdom, and yet there's Kyle yucking it up and not getting the point at all. She's as deep as a wading pool, that Kyle is. Then we have the single nice moment with LVP and Denise talking about their experiences with adoption. Then LVP goes out to that beach lunch where Rinna does the most to stir up trouble. LVP gets honest with Erika and Erika instantly becomes an awful bitch, as usual. She is such a deeply bitter, angry woman. And she took a picture of that sympathy note. Of course she did. You know why she did? She knew that note wasn't sufficient. As LVP said, the other women sent flowers, Erika sent three lines in a note. And Bravo wonders why some of these franchises are faltering? There is nothing organic about these women interacting. And then the final hit job of the episode courtesy of Teddi and Kyle. They inexplicably bring up the dog situation, after LVP tells them that all is resolved with Dorit. And then Dorit cries and Rinna and Kyle have the balls to comfort Dorit as if this dog situation isn't 100% her fault. Thank god Camille was there to point out how stupid the whole thing is and how Dorit should have just returned the damn dog to Vanderpump Dogs, just as she did with the first dog she attempted to adopt. Yes, folks, that was the second dog she attempted to adopt. LVP is a mess and Rinna and Kyle pounced on that weakness. But the one thing they misjudged was how LVP would react to them. Her quiet silence at the dinner table wasn't what they were hoping for so naturally it was time for Dorit to unleash the tears. But the audience sees through this crap because it's fake and rings false.

This is proof that only Ronn can play Ridge. He IS Ridge. That was so horrendously, hilariously, wonderfully hammy I cannot get enough of it.

Here's my problem with what Rinna's now claiming is her position, as she's seeing that the tide is turning against her...she admitted that she was disengaged last season and just did the bare minimum because they didn't give her a raise and that if they wanted her to liven things up with conflict she'd need to be paid for it. That is called not doing your job. That is called phoning it in. And I don't begrudge Rinna doing that: it's a good negotiation technique. But it's the hypocrisy of saying LVP didn't do her job that I just can't abide by when Rinna admitted to doing the very same thing. Nicollette has always struck me as a very strong woman who doesn't let petty crap get in her way. I'm glad she's called Rinna out on this story because you've never heard a word out of either Michael Bolton or Harry Hamlin against Nicollette. It seems like Rinna just likes a story to be juicy, regardless of whether it's true or not.

NJ I need Jackie to return next season. She destroyed Teresa without breaking a sweat. So smart, so cutting, so quick. Good for her. I also enjoyed how she pointed out Delores is a Yes Man to Teresa...and then Teresa let her mask slip as she declared that those who've gone against her aren't on the show anymore. Andy moved on from that statement very quickly because he knew how bad that sounded. Teresa is really too stupid for words. Her command of the English language is laughable and her ego knows no bounds. She is a convicted criminal and has served jail time, how dare she act superior to someone like Jackie? That comment about eating? Awful. Good for Melissa for standing up for her. Marge was, as usual, a delight.

Good for Nene. And good for Denise. Given where Denise is landed, it actually makes me wonder why Nene wasn’t ever cast on that particular soap: she might have been phenomenal!

A nondescript episode of RHOBH except it was clear that the Housewives were laying the groundwork to slaughter LVP in this episode. The lunch between Doritos, Erika and Rinna was telling. Previously, they’d never have endured a lunch with Doritos but now they do? Transparent. Kyle crying about her kids growing up. Christ. Haven’t we seen this storyline two or three times already? Move on, Kyle, menopause is around the corner, get ready to cry real tears over that one. PK and Doritos are so fake in their scenes listing who would be invited. That was producer set up to the max. LVP and Giggy. Lord. First the brother, then the Giggster? No wonder she looks like she’s about to crack at all times.

Kyle is sanctimonious and the worst kind of victim. I really need her ass to be exposed. Doritos certainly left the dog with a nice family headed up by a family friend. I hear her name was Shel Ter. And yes, Rinna could actually ride this one out if she'd just shut up and let the chips fall where they may, but her obsession with LVP and being the one to stir the drink is going to backfire on her spectacularly if she keeps it up.

I was just shocked that she'd be so stupid to be the pot calling the kettle black. Just as she should be. Absolutely roasted. Yep. Teddi recently did a podcast (Everything Iconic with Danny Pellegrino) and she said herself that she doesn't do well with criticism. It appears that Rinna has the same thin skin when the heat turns up in circumstances like this. We already know Kyle is back pedalling, and that will probably get worse too, to where she will try and play the victim, again. Dorit is trying to claim that LVP "betrayed" her...but we all know the real story with several multi million creditors pursuing her and PK.

Rinna is doing the worst thing and being a hypocrite about people being mean on social media...

To me, Lee Radziwill was the American equivalent of Princess Margaret. She was the spare and resented it and lived a life that, while glamorous, never seemed to reach a level of contentment. Sort of tragic in her way, equal parts brittle and mysterious. I do believe she and Carole remained relatively close after Carole's husband's death. It sounds as if her death was sudden, so I hope she is coping well with the last link to her husband. I cannot be team Teresa because she is too stupid. I don't enjoy Jackie, and in my view she should be a one and done, but I think she'll return because she's going to fight hard with Teresa and she is plainly smarter than Teresa by a country mile. The NJ Finale was satisfying 100% due to Classic Marge. Margaret is the star of NJ and whether Teresa can live with that isn't my problem. I loved Margaret pushing Marty into the pool. Why has it taken a decade for someone to get pushed into a pool? Teresa is so one note and stupid I would love for her to take an IQ test. I think she would easily score the lowest of any housewife of any franchise. Her combative ignorance against common sense is alarming. Danielle plays her like a fiddle. I do think Danielle should return next season...but in the Friend capacity she was in this year. Danielle is too unlikeable to watch full time. I don't want to see her day to day life. I don't want to hear her talking head interviews. She can show up and stir it up and get off my screen. I think the cast should be left intact. It was a great season and a very good mix. Melissa was easily her best this season, despite the fact that she had ZERO storyline of her own aside from Joe disrespecting her career. That "sister" storyline was nonsense and I do not need to see crap like that ever again. The final shots with the updates on the women were all banal...and then they come to Teresa and Joe's deportation.
