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.

Kyle is predictable...and she always rings false. She's seeing the backlash that is heading her way and the way this attempt at destroying LVP is about to implode on her and she's trying to do damage control. I really, really hope that LVP stays strong and keeps Vile Kyle out of her life completely. Ice her out, shut her down, and eliminate her. LVP hasn't really been a friend of Kyle's since the season when LVP sold her old house and she called Kyle out on the friendship changing once Mauricio got his commission cheque. Kyle looked livid at that and I feel LVP really meant it. This kind of transparent approach to walk back her awful, disgusting, abusive behaviour really irritates me. Kyle really is the worst.

Oh yeah, Kyle has been *all over* Instagram disputing people who say she's a bitch or whenever someone mentions Mauricio's lawsuit (which *was* dismissed after a settlement was reached). Teddi is a really egregious offender given how short a time she's been on the show. I hope it's a landslide of sh*t falling on her crappy gleeful attitude. Oddly, Rinna is the one I'm not that bothered by because I think she has a legitimate gripe with LVP over the Yolanda stuff (though I think both would have been better off if they'd been united against Yolanda)...the issue I have with Rinna is that she's, like, obsessed with LVP and doesn't exercise the compassion with her that she's quite capable of (I do believe Rinna is a basically decent person).

I'm on a social media blackout with this show. It'll make me too angry. I fully expect them all to be in damage control mode, constantly defending themselves while attempting to roast LVP, until the reunion has aired.

Absolutely. Kyle was awful this episode and we haven't even see the conflict truly unfold. I really hope LVP is done with her. LVP is clearly an emotional wreck based on what we saw this episode. She cried more in this episode than she has in 9 seasons of the show.

You got it. Melanie said it without saying anything. I hope these women rue they day they came for LVP at this vulnerable moment in her life. Dorit is trash. And she appears to have had significant physical renovations since last year. She looks ridiculous. Comically bad. And she had all her jewelry stolen on the verge of PK's creditors coming for him for millions? Okay. It also appears that Rinna may have had her implants replaced (though they look good)...either that or she's wearing a hyperactive bra in her green outfit VT. Rinna is still hilarious referring to herself and Denise as a "seasoned bitch". Kyle is such a bitch, and I've been beating that drum for years, but she really is the worst. So disingenuous and melodramatic. She was itching for a fight with LVP at the dog rescue and was practically salivating at the Dorit dog mess, knowing she could use it, somehow. If you're going to take a shot at LVP, you better not miss.

And let’s not forget: Kyle lives in Encino. The Valley. (818). LVP’s tagline is iconic. I like Denise and Rinna’s too. Dorit appears to have gotten newer boobs? A mess.

It is. It’s just weird now. But there may be another reason for all this sniping: LVP’s new Vanderpump Cocktail Garden in Las Vegas is hiring. One of the stipulations of hiring is that all employees must be comfortable being filmed during their day to day work and be comfortable interacting with celebrities. Could it be that LVP is getting another show on Bravo and that the other housewives (ahem, Vile Kyle) are furious that she’s, yet again, getting more exposure?

Rinna is embarrassing herself. She must have seen an early edit of an episode and doesn't like that LVP isn't going to get slaughtered like she thought. Honestly, how do you any of these women think this season is going to be anything other than mildly sympathetic? Her brother committed suicide. This isn't comparable to Eileen's situation at all because long illnesses were involved. It was expected. This isn't comparable to Adrienne who just bailed on the reunion for no reason at all. The only thing this is comparable to is Taylor's husband Russell committing suicide. And guess what? That event was handled sensitively and sympathetically to Taylor. That's the only way such an awful thing can be handled without disgusting the audience.

Sacha was incorrectly quoted in one of the British papers implicating that Anthony Newley was a pedophile. The paper retracted the statement and apologized.

Totally agreed on all fronts, especially Margaret's gala. That was a beautifully executed event. And yes, I love Joe & Joe - they are adorable together. I enjoy how in the mix the husbands are in Jersey. From your lips...

I'm so sorry to hear that the glorious Carmen Duncan has passed. She exemplified class and kindness. Stylish. Exquisitely beautiful. That accent. She was beloved in Australia and was wonderful as Iris. She was my Iris, no offence to Bev.

You bet they are. This is a very lame attempt by Nene. So easily disprovable.

@Faulkner @Soaplovers @Chris B @NothinButAttitude @Cat Nene is full of sh*t for several reasons: 1. LVP did not buy the lot that Pump sits on. She leased it. Like 99% of restaurant owners. She has already been involved in litigation in 2014 from some guys who sued her landlord claiming they were going to open a bar on the spot, but couldn't raise the money, and the landlord leased it to LVP, who was sued peripherally because the guys who wanted Bar Varsity wanted her lease rescinded. So Nene is factually dead in the water on that point alone. 2. Nene and LVP have never liked each other. Why on earth would Nene reach out LVP for business advice? Moreover, if Nene was stupid enough to take LVP's advice, without doing her own due diligence, then she obviously has no business acumen. 3. Nene has had major IRS issues over unpaid taxes totalling $824,000 stemming from income earned in 2014, the very year she says this business with LVP occurred. Obviously, if Nene owed the IRS $824,000 (which, to her credit, she has settled in full) for income earned in that year she did not have the money to pay the IRS, let alone invest in a bar. 4. Nene has never run a bar or club in her lifetime while LVP has had over 20 and sold her London based bars for $20 million (10.5 million pounds sterling) back in 1998 to the Trocadero Group. 5. It is open season on LVP and it's all bullsh*t. Nene is such a nasty, bitter cow, and cannot stand that her attempt to move past Housewives fame failed and that she is doomed to ride out this show for as long as she can.

Andy's baby shower was one big show. Rinna was hilarious screaming at all of the women to get on the table and dance for Andy and his baby, citing the fact that Andy has "paid for your lives!" The stories about LVP not showing up are so weird and obsessive from Erika and Rinna...like, ladies, she thinks you're awful. She's not going to tolerate you. She doesn't have to. The NYC cast photo is perfection. They all look individual and clearly identifiable. Luann's hair and red dress is on point. Sonja looks great, as does Dorinda in that gorgeous coat. I wonder if Bethenny is furious that she was right on the outskirts of the shot... Cannot wait! NEW JERSEY This season has been great and so fun to watch. Danielle appears to be a raving lunatic. Jennifer is a tacky bitch. The two put together are a mess. And the episode was riveting. Classic Marge absolutely destroyed Jennifer without breaking a sweat. As she said, mid bite of dinner, she hit a nerve with that girlfriend comment. Jennifer really blinked. Spoke volumes. And then Marge actually landed that wine onto Danielle, who then became a raging bull complete with producer and security intervention. I'm glad that tension was finally broken. Teresa is so unspeakably stupid it's amazing. She is easier to manipulate than a piece of dough. And she has the most skewed view of reality it is shocking. I hate to say it but I really liked Melissa this episode. She was screaming the truth from the top of her lungs. I couldn't believe it but I was rooting for her.
