I hope Ken went full scale Old School East End on Kyle. They haven’t been real friends since Mauricio sold their old house. Now that Kyle is back in the fold with Kathy and Kim I’m sure she felt comfortable throwing away what was left of her relationship with LVP. A 6 episode mini show following LVP and Ken to the south of France would be amazing! I loved the episode when they visited Warren and his wife Sue Vanner (who are close friends of Dame Joan Collins) - it would be superb. I hope LVP quits. Then I can dump BH. VPR is way better anyway.

It's amazing to see Friday and Saturday nights being prime television viewing nights rather than the time slot graveyards they've been for two decades.

We will! She's playing a few characters this season...and welcome back!

I enjoyed OC. A good mix of scenes. I especially enjoyed Shannon at QVC...but oh that jacket was too small.

Totally agree. It was a mediocre trailer. Meanwhile Potomac is giving us insane drama in the off season! It’s better than any of the franchises on the air right now!

Ashley posted on her Instagram story that no charges were filed, no suspension etc. It's insane of her because you can literally pull up the filing against Michael. And the cameraman took out a restraining order against Michael.

Delicious, piping hot tea. Thank you for sharing!

I think she will take the high road as well when it comes to Ashley. Privately, however, I hope she and Ray had a good laugh over this one.

WHOA! I hope Karen luxuriates in this one. The question is: what does Ashley do (aside from get dragged by Karen left and right!)

Gretchen has entered Tori Spelling territory where her face no longer has an age and she looks oddly matronly.

Budget Jeana!! LOL - amazing!

Shots fired! Erotica Lame has revealed it was LVP who refused to do the cast photo shoot: https://www.realitytea.com/2018/09/24/erika-jayne-confirms-lisa-vanderpump-did-not-want-to-partake-in-real-housewives-of-beverly-hills-cast-photo-shoot/

I watched this one last night. It's better than anything Y&R has put on air in 15 years. The full Winters/Johnson clan, Jill glowing with the news of her pregnancy that only she knows (the moment when Jill gets the news she's pregnant - Jess conveyed more in her facial expression than half the current cast is capable of if shouting their lungs out), while scaring the bejesus out of everyone with her upbeat attitude. Brad as Neil's best man! Katherine and Rex (with so much chemistry, killing off Rex was impactful but I wonder how different things would have been had he lived). And all that heavenly instrumental music. More genuine emotion in one episode than I've seen in years.

I too am surprised at those ratings, especially for BH. It’s interesting that NYC, which has had a ‘moment’ in the zeitgeist for the last two seasons, isn’t higher rated because it FEELS like it’s more popular. VPR skews young - and that’s not a bad thing as far as Bravo is concerned. I’m glad Potomac is in the top 10 - but it deserves better scheduling and higher numbers because this past season was amazing. In a lot of ways the RH franchise is like the daytime soap opera lineup: people watch habitually and when that habit is broken they don’t come back. And agrees re LVP. These clowns never learn.

A few years ago, maybe...but since her daughter, Nicky, married a Rothschild? No way.

They went on a trip to Montreal? I lived there for a year but what the housewives will do there is anyone's guess...it's a bit...beyond them. The only one who would have even appreciated it is LVP...lord. Watching another season of her getting attacked is ridiculous...who does Bravo think wants to see that? Kyle and Teddi are disgusting if this is true. We already knew Kyle was a disloyal pig, but Teddi? After everything LVP did to defend her against Erotica Lame? Pump Rules is an infinitely better show. BH is truly a sinking ship that should see cancellation.

The Jersey trailer definitely has a sense of energy and conflict that's needed on that particular franchise. I just hope they don't have a long season...the show simply cannot sustain it. Last season was a very good length, maybe one episode too long...but so much better than the gargantuan seasons of the past. As an aside I was recently in Australia and managed to find some of the tea made by RH of Melbourne's Janet. Great packaging, excellent taste and sold in two of Australia's biggest retailers.

I felt Julie's words for Sara and Sharon rang hollow. I think those friendships are dead and buried. Sharon is tough as nails and her mentioning that she had been asked to make a supportive statement in favour of Les would have infuriated Julie. Sharon pulls no punches and I note she was the only one smiling when Julie's video finished. She was smiling, in all likelihood, because that's the last she'd have to see of her. I find Carrie Ann to be as fake as a pair of silicone implants. Sheryl has been an emotional wreck all week. I listened to a podcast she and Sharon made with the rest of the Osbournes earlier this year and it was hilarious. Ghomeshi is a pariah if there ever was one. I like Mark. He has a very good reputation in the business, and his firing was so abrupt. He didn't even know he was being fired the last day he was taping.

I'm with you. I don't care at all about Atlanta's return...whereas I cannot wait to see Potomac return. The reason for that is simple: Potomac (like NYC) retains a level of organic tension that relationships that the other franchises distinctly lack. BH, ATL and NJ are manufactured bile. OC sits in between those shows and NYC/Potomac which remain relatively organic. The key is to get these shows back to organic interactions and if that means following each individual woman, like the original seasons of OC, then all the better. The group photo of the ATL women looks awful. Nene has a stylist who hates her. In regard to Marlo: the difference with her is that she was convicted of a very violent crime. Not all crimes are equal and what Marlo was convicted of is truly heinous.

It was painfully awkward and Carole just seemed awful as a result. Bethenny won the reunion because she kept calm. I was so glad to see Sonja pulling herself together and moving out of that townhouse. It is an albatross and the moment she gets rid of it for good she will be free. I would have liked to see those scenes air in the actual show because it's Sonja's real life and I found her totally enjoyable this season from beginning to end. Dorinda getting weepy when Bethenny said she doesn't think she's a drunk...lord. Dorinda...not a good season for her. She better get working on repairing her relationship with Lu.

I think you’d enjoy Heather’s podcast a lot. It’s really well produced and lots of fun. Heather is very funny about her housewives friends and how she shows up in the background of scenes. I can say unequivocally that Heather’s line about being a housewife is not thirst: it’s a running joke.

Do folks dislike Heather McDonald? I love Heather - the Juicy Scoop podcast is a delight. TT seems to have an axe to grind against her so I don’t take much of what she says seriously. I really enjoyed the podcast with Wig.

No wonder she hates Monique. While she was busy tolerating a bad marriage with consistent infidelity, Monique was with Chris who treats her like a queen.

It was so satisfying to watch Carole call out Andy and I say that as someone whose never enjoyed Carole. She knew she was leaving, she knew she was burning bridges, and she didn't care. When she said "You're afraid of her too?" Andy looked so furious at what he undoubtedly perceived to be Carole attempting to humiliate him, which she did. I still think Bethenny and Carole are both to blame in their relationship falling apart. And I still dislike Carole. When she rolled her eyes at Andy saying Lu's cabaret success I muttered good riddance. Carole is bitter, bitter, bitter. OC this week was a laying the groundwork kind of episode. Tamra has dropped her Christian Pasture after realizing that the show was probably getting stale. Her inorganic ways to attack Shannon were clunky but got the drama rolling. I really like Kelly and her scenes with Jolie. Jolie is wise beyond her years and seems good natured. The soup kitchen scenes were nice because they both seemed to enjoy themselves and made an effort to fit in - not like when the BH housewives slugged their way through an appearance at Project Angel Food.
