Luann posted a montage on her Instagram of the "8 ladies" for season 11 and Jill and Barbara K are the two new ones!

BREAKING NYC News @Cat @Gray Bunny @Taoboi @ChitHappens @NothinButAttitude @Cheap21 @Antoyne @alwaysAMC and everyone I'm too shook to type out: JILL IS RETURNING FULL TIME!

DALLAS Great episode. The Leanne/D'Andra couch strike moment was dramatically shot. NJ A better debut than ATL. Melissa remains a total irrelevance but Margaret is still a highlight. Dolores was minimizing what Frank did. Misappropriating trust funds is a really serious thing.

ATL was fine. Not exciting but not horrible. I missed seeing Sheree. OC was also fine. Seeing Tamra’s son after so many years was interesting. And I’ve never seen a plastic surgery segment I didn’t enjoy. From what I’ve read Vicki’s surgeon discovered several layers of filler that had not been absorbed and he removed them all to give her smoother skin.

The thing about when Schwartz calls people out (as he seems to do with James in this season's trailer) is that he is averse to confrontation and averse to drama...so when HE is the one flipping out, you know the person 1) has it coming and 2) is going to have problems with everyone adjacent to Schwartz because although he's a flake and cheated on Katie (he's no saint), he is also not an assh*le. He is a nice guy and when the nice guy is willing to get scrappy, there's a reason for it. Agreed re BH. I want LVP to leave midseason like Jeana Keough did on OC. Let the rest of them destroy each other.

Loved the trailer and can’t wait for its return!

That was some piping hot tea Kathy spilled. WWHL has always seemed rehearsed and staged to some degree, but the phone calls were always the weirdest part. Nothing surprises me about this crap being rigged.

I think Sonja was deserving of Best Comedic Performance - she always makes me laugh and smile. But agreed about Karen. She cannot be back on my television soon enough!

They're all awesome except for Eva and Porscha - theirs are lame as hell.

'We'd like her to come back, work things out and film with the entire cast but she's said no.' LVP has called time on filming with the women per the Daily Mail: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6316153/Bravo-exec-says-Lisa-Vanderpumps-future-RHOBH-uncertain.html

DALLAS What a great episode. I'm loving this season. Mamma Dee's cooking class was like an FBI interrogation over meatloaf, doused in ketchup, served with a side of inspirational 700 Club evangelism. I agree with @Cat I think Stephanie and Travis are the real deal. Kameron's MiL...not sure what to make of her. Was she being sincere with D'Andra? It all seemed like a big veiled threat. I have to wonder why these women care about what a segment of high society things of them. As RuPaul once said: If they don't pay your bills, then pay them no mind.

OC Easily the best episode of a lacklustre season. It was, essentially, an hour long fight. I didn't expect to identify with Tamra...but I did. Shannon is exhausting and being a friend to someone who indulges in their own pain ("I have a right to feel my pain!" was like nails on a chalkboard to me - Shannon revels in her pain) can be very wearing and very trying because they become emotional vampires. It's no surprise that Tamra snapped. She is a highly disciplined person and is able to push through the crap in her life (I'm not saying I admire Tamra because so much of what she does seems mean and spiteful and calculated) and I can see how she would find Shannon frustrating because she refuses to take help. Part of that may be down to the fact that Shannon either has clinical depression or she's in menopause (or both) and she can't see the forest through the trees. What I did think was admirable was Vicki admitting she used an anti-depressant during her divorce from Don. Not everyone would be gutsy enough to admit that given the stigma around mental health. I also thought Kelly handled everything quite well with Shannon because she could have flown WAY off the handle, but she kept it together. Vicki's dress, however, was tragic in every way imaginable. Shannon obviously felt attacked, but she is oblivious to how self involved she is and how easy her life actually is. Divorce sucks. Her marriage to David brutalized her. But she has her health, she has her kids, she has resources. Tamra is right about Shannon's penchant for making everything a catastrophe. I liked Gina and Emily. They're less jaded than the veterans and I think it's interesting to see two newbies not get slaughtered by Vicki. She hardly hazed them at all.

And the rumour is that LVP is trying to bail out of the season and leave midway because of being "caught"...honestly she should just own it, show off the pair of shoes she bought with the money she got for selling the story, and go out in a blaze of glory, guns blazing. This franchise is such a flop and has been for years now.

Absolutely. I hope she leaves too and doesn’t look back. I found the last two seasons of BH very draining, and the moment LVP is gone, so am I. I’d look forward to that. The foolish women should know that if she’s gone they’ll turn on each other.

LVP isn't filming any of this group stuff...and she's just resigned as Editor in Chief of Beverly Hills Lifestyle magazine...I can't see how she isn't taking a Friend position as a way to exit.

She hosts the upcoming group trip, so that's when she'll kick in. Renovating her house would probably have cramped her style because it's an IRL pain in the ass that consumes time.

I'm enjoying Dallas, but the problem is D'Andra has the Second Season Bitch Curse. There also doesn't seem to be any good reason for her hatred of Leanne. She's just coming off as immature and petty.

Beverley Callard has been awesome in the last couple of episodes!

Like Coronation Street with better weather.

The contribution actors make to scripts is really underestimated. Joan Collins was known for re-writing pages of Alexis' dialog and Ed DeBlasio, the Dynasty script king who wrote more than half of the shows teleplays, said her changes were always for the better.

I was in Australia when the wedding aired - it was sweet and nicely produced and several Australian landmarks were lit up in rainbow colours the night the wedding aired to commemorate it. I'd never seen Neighbours before and was surprised at its tone (not like a US soap, not like a UK soap either, hard to describe, but it was definitely earnest and while scenes move slow, an awful lot happens in an episode).

I view Yolanda and LVP differently than you do, but to each their own for sure. Had Rinna embraced exposing Yolanda the audience would have embraced her. Yolanda was not having a good season that year and the tide was turning against her.

Rinna, Kyle, and LVP all played the Munchausen thing wrong. Instead of turning on each other so that nobody looked like they were insinuating the Muchausen allegation, they should have united and called Yolanda to the floor. Her recovery from "chronic lyme" (which is not a real diagnosis) was downright miraculous once her divorce was tied up in a neat bow, in my humble opinion. If Rinna, Kyle, and LVP had just owned the fact that they all thought she was malingering her symptoms they would have been unstoppable.

I sort of wonder if there's a possibility that LVP is going to be a Friend of the Housewives this season as a means to transition out and that the other ladies are unaware and THAT is why she didn't take a group photo. She didn't want them to know that she's an FOH and is on her way out. What I really think is despicable is that LVP's brother died of an overdose in May and it seems none of the women are at all willing to give her a break. Her brother's death is also part of why I wonder if she's on her way out because she's looking at life and seeing it isn't worth it. LVP is paid at least $500,000 for 4-5 months worth of filming that consists of 3 days a week of filming. It's a lot of money for what they actually have to do. But at some point, especially with VPR, it can't be worth enduring this crap.

It would be interesting to see Lisa leave midseason like Jeana Keough did on OC years ago. The rest of them would destroy each other and that's what we need to see. Hmm about the charges being dropped.
