You've got that right. Kelly is really off. She isn't 100% likeable. I'd hate to deal with her in real life (whereas Heather Dubrow, while high strung and snippy and snobby on the show, is someone I'd enjoy in real life because of her sense of manners and proper behaviour). But on the show, Kelly just flies because she's gone after Shannon and hasn't minded taking swings at Tamra and Heather along the way - all of whom have had it coming since their tangles with Vicki. The less said about the Beadors, the better...Shannon mustn't have much self respect for staying with his cheating ass. The same goes for NYC's LuAnn (much as I enjoy LuAnn, and she rocked this season, she should be leaving Tom and keeping the ring). The difference is David Beador is much worse than Tom: he cheated on his wife of 15 years and the mother of his three children.

Yes, she is TERRIBLE. I give the Melbourne housewives credit for the patience they've extended to her. She seems really mentally off.

The NYC reunion got off to an explosive start. Dorinda is all over her social media trying to throw Sonja under the bus. She should have just owned that she's done cocaine. Who doesn't think she's been high on camera? Who doesn't think every last one of those women hasn't been high on camera at least once? Sonja was hilarious with the "I trademarked it!" in response to Bethenny's 'Slutty Girl' brand idea. Sonja was clear headed and focused this season. They can try and call her delusional all they want but what did she say this season that seemed delusional? There was no talk of Nigerian football teams or smokey eye, updo, Gstaad! They can try and freeze her out but Sonja's honest hurt about LuAnn and Tom and her struggle to get past her bankruptcy and divorce is, for me, compelling to watch. Sonja is a survivor. She still has her sense of humour. I admire that tremendously. Bethenny is truly unhinged. That call to the married man's "daughter" was a joke. That was as premeditated as hell. How would the daughter (or was it one of her interns?) know where her father has been laying his head at night? And why would she want a "time stamp" of calling the married man's wife to say she was on a platonic dinner with him? Bitch, please. Jules looked spectacular. She either gained a few pounds or got some truly miraculous fillers done. She looked beautiful. I think Bethenny is going to dig herself into an ugly hole with the comment that Jules was angling for a divorce when she started on the show. Of any housewife, Jules appeared totally blindsided. LuAnn is ready for a fight. She made her point with Bethenny (which Bethenny deflected poorly against by slut shaming LuAnn yet again and then attempting to excuse her crap by saying she didn't know the definition of slut shaming) and she dismissed Carole like the irrelevance that she is. Obviously, LuAnn sticking with Tom is a mistake, she's better than a cheater, and that's a reflection on how desperate she is. But LuAnn is who she is and anyone who calls her a hypocrite isn't watching the same show I am. Ramona is so fun and relaxed. The montage of her dancing reminded me of Elaine on Seinfeld. This was Ramona's best season. Divorce suits her.

She chose not to return. Simple as that, really. She keeps up with Lauren. Magali has actually said recently she'd return; however, a certain co-star (most likely Dawn) is blocking a return. She'll still close with Ampika too. Where did she say that? I enjoyed Magali a lot. She took a risk by leaving for that season. Obviously she's superior to the three it took to attempt to replace her.

Again, where the f-ck is Magali?! She chose not to return. Simple as that, really. She keeps up with Lauren.

Aukland Julia is such a bitch. I thought taking Michelle around Anne's house was so rude and awful. That was such a gross invasion of her privacy. Julia was right that Michelle did a poor job modelling. An aside on the Vampire treatment Julia had: it takes months for results to show. It enhances the quality of the skin which, for the neck, is a good investment. Michelle is 3/3 episodes with making nasty body shaming comments. It's a bad look on her. She also seems to enjoy injecting herself into drama. Also not a good look. Louise is a smooth operator. She dug herself out of her hole with Gilda by carefully recounting exactly what happened. So she told the truth. Good for her. Anne is just like Jody Clamant from RHOV, except not evil (yet!)...I couldn't give a flying fig about her love of cats, can't stand them myself. Gilda is humourless. I still don't enjoy her one little bit. Angela is truly delusional. It was so pathetic to watch her assistant drive up the bidding. I would not compare them to Melbourne's Lydia and her house keeper Joanna...Lydia is truly heinous to Joanna.

Real Housewives of Cheshire is back September 5th! http://www.itv.com/presscentre/ep1week36/real-housewives-cheshire

I loved this season, last season and the Scary Island season (season 3) the most. And I totally agree with @KeMoLove and @Chris B about Sonja. She is a delight and adds a lot to this show that goes unappreciated. She is fun and sensitive and resilient. Yes, she also has her delusions but this season she was sober as a judge and not one other of those women could make the same claim. I hope Andy and the execs at Bravo get out their chequebook for the whole NYC cast. They've earned it. They deserve a raise.

"How could you do this to me. Question mark." - LuAnn Honestly, she should have a t shirt made with that line. I would buy it. The finale was not as satisfying as I had hoped it would be. I was disappointed for LuAnn that she stayed with Tom after he obviously cheated on her. I understand that she's trying to look at the situation as a blip, as a sophisticated woman of the world would, but she deserves better than a guy who'd look another direction when she's in the room. Obviously, just based off of the "previously this season..." summary it is evident that the whole season was based on LuAnn. She made it happen. Ramona redeemed herself to me for that reason. She seemed disappointed for LuAnn as well and said a few times that LuAnn deserves better. I think, after all these years, these two have a level of respect for each other. Sonja was the most realistic about the situation in its entirety. She reminds me of Goldie Hawn's character in the First Wives Club - she gets her best ideas when she's working out and sober. Otherwise she's a bit desperate and daffy. I think Sonja injected so much humour this season. Dorinda is fun and I like her and her comments about being a sh*t stirrer amused me to no end. She's a decent soul and I doubt she'd hurt a fly. She just slurs like crazy when she drinks but I'm glad she's on the show. Carole and Jules were non entities. Bethenny's tears rang very hollow to me. I don't believe them. I don't believe her intentions were selfless. She had SkinnyGirl showcased for maximum effect, so job well done to her.

Aukland - I love a two episode premiere. I am softening to Michelle because she tried to repair things before they became a problem and she knew she didn't handle the first lunch well. I do not, however, like her discussion of body shape. She's done it 2/2 episodes. I can't fault her for being realistic about the fashion industry but it isn't healthy for a 12 year old girl. She does have a sense of humour which helps. Angela blew it and I'll never like her or pity her. She is nuts. She's desperate and a loser and her thirst for Gilda is real. I HATED the way she was discussing the gossip about Gilda with Louise and Julia. That is a basic bitch if there ever was one. The victim act fools no one. How does she not understand that giving unsolicited style advice is offensive. That healing session was ludicrous and bizarre. Louise is right that Angela is always trying to build a good impression and never herself. Angela throwing Louise under the bus was a poor attempt. Gilda is very strong and very decisive and I respect that. She has probably lived through a lot with her childhood in Iran. A 47 year age gap is, of course, going to attract the age difference. However, her marriage lasting 15 years is nothing to sniff at. She annihilated Angela who had it coming, big time. All that said, I don't like Gilda. She is too cold, too icy and too controlled. No warmth or humour seems to exude from her. I love Louise. I get her. I'm part of her tribe. Julia is a traitorous bitch. Ann's skin is like a dried prune around her mouth. I wonder how old she is...I do give her credit for attempting to get to know Michelle and Gilda. She does seem to have a sense of humour.

Absolutely. Skip OC and watch Aukland. OC was a nothing episode between the bogus vow renewal and giraffe getting inseminated. Be sure to skip New Jersey as well - this week was heinously boring and I only read a summary.

Aukland...we have some differences of opinion: Louise - I agree, she is FABULOUS. Real deal money and the silkiest voice. Michelle - physically beautiful, sharp tongue, interesting life story. A good fighter. Also mean. That plus size model comment was a well timed putdown. She was not right to tell Angela not to be offended and saying she'd heard about her from Gilda. It goes to show Michelle went in with an opinion without even meeting her. I don't like someone who doesn't give others a fair shake. Gilda - cold bitch. Nasty. Tacky. Awful. Julia - boring. I agree with you that she could go north or south. Anne - she reminds me of Jody Claman from Real Housewives of Vancouver. Angela - she is overly sensitive and an emotional wreck. But she's not a mean person. She's hyper insecure and based in a career that will just eat away at her. She's grown up exceptionally tall and I'm sure has been tormented for it her whole life so anyone can get under her skin. Gorgeous production values. Looks like a great franchise.

I LOVED this part. It is the highlight of the episode. LuAnn's happiness is contagious. Bethenny herself has said she's done some Botox to change the alignment of her jaw, to soften her jawline and to treat TMJ pain (I have had TMJ and it is excruciatingly painful and it's caused from clenching your jaw and grinding your teeth). It definitely makes her jawline rounded off and more heart shape like.

I much prefer Jules to Kristen and that hag Heather. Jules can at least make a decent joke and hump a trumpet. Kristen is dull as hell and Heather is charmless. I say keep this cast for next season. This season was awesome. I looked forward to it. Not one did episode. LuAnn for MVP. She made this season happen. Using a Christmas tree analogy it's clear that LuAnn is the tree. Ramona and Sonja were like tinsel and lights to the tree - hanging off the tree and making it more interesting but without the tree they'd be relics in a box. Dorinda is like the Christmas novelty Santa and Mrs Clause people have at their front door - can stand on its own but not as essential as the tree. Jules was like a cup of egg nog, not to everyone's taste and a but by itself but theme appropriate. Bethenny was like a dumb cat trying to knock the tree down and Carole was the collar around that cat - an irrelevant accessory.

Nene owes so much tax it's laughable at the way she's conducted herself, obviously living way beyond her means. The catch 22 is whatever she may or may not earn with a Bravo cheque for the upcoming season (so far she hasn't filmed at all) is going to generate even more tax for 2016 and Nene isn't going to reign herself in. She'll keep on spending and her debt will grow. The IRS doesn't play around - they'll foreclose on everything she's got and even if she declares bankruptcy she isn't safe because those IRS liens aren't usually discharged. Very rich, bitch, my ass!

LuAnn WAS this season. The show would have been nothing without her. They got rid of anything with Dorinda's John as quickly as they could. And then Bethenny vs. Sonja calmed right down. Carole did nothing all season. Jules is in a terrible marriage that she was only so happy to leave behind in Miami. But for LuAnn there wouldn't have been any storyline worth watching. Fortunately, LuAnn WAS there and this episode was so welcome. If LuAnn was fake crying then she puts Heather Dubrow to shame. THAT is how you do it. We know she and Tom are still together, but what solves the conflict next week? I can't believe the season is over.

This is the beginning of the end for Nene Leakes. I have always said she would become the David Caruso of the Housewives franchise. She is Icarus and she's flown too high.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who loved Kelly. She is a *mess* but she dragged 'em all and not one of Shannon, Giraffe, Tamra or Heather could handle her. I thought her impression of Heather was particularly strong, especially as Heather "cried" in the chauffeur driven SUV back to her mansion whining to her surgeon husband about a fight that had nothing to do with her. Tamra remains the biggest stirrer in the franchise's history. And she does it all in the name of Jesus Christ her lord and saviour. Much as all these women pile on Vicki, she's obviously a lot of fun and her breakfast with Brianna and the kids showed her in a good light. Next week's episode looks nausea inducing with Shannon and David's vow renewal. Kiss of death for an OC marriage.

NJ Jacqueline Laurita is a nasty, dumb, bitch. She clearly hosted that dinner ready for a big fight. I'm not a Giudice apologist by any means but I think Jacqueline just scum.

I am IN for Real Housewives of Aukland. Vancouver, Melbourne and Cheshire have all proved that the international franchises put the American ones in the shade so I can't wait.

OC I'm enjoying this season. The wheels are falling off Shannon's crazy train faster than I expected. She cannot keep herself wound when she's arguing with Kelly. She went with the "you looked like an Indian!" comment awfully quick and when Kelly turned that around on her Shannon sputtered like a failing engine. Vicki appears to have purchased Brianna's house - close enough to hers but outside the gates. There's nothing wrong with that. She's her mother. She can do that. I wouldn't be surprised if Brianna is getting paid for this season, she's been on as much as Meghan and far more compelling and relevant to watch. Speaking of which, I can't with Meghan's crap storyline. I don't care. Neither does her husband. Heather and Tamra are very secondary this season. I know that'll change as it progresses, but neither is front and centre. Who cares that Tamra is training for a body building competition with her abdomen looking like a water bed. NYC I think this year's cast is perfect and interesting to note that the episode that featured the least Bethenny and the most LuAnn got the highest ratings. No surprise to me. Much of what's worked about this season comes down to three people: LuAnn, Ramona and Sonja. LuAnn has rocked this season, just as she did last season and the season prior to that. She is a new woman without the Count and she is kicking ass and taking names and nobody is going to dull her shine. Ramona is crazier than a bag of cats and utterly out to lunch about how insensitive she is but she is hilarious and outspoken and has an uncanny ability to forget her misgivings about people, albeit temporarily. Sonja is a hot mess and delusional as hell and sort of sad...but this last episode on the yacht demonstrated that, at her core, Sonja is a nice lady who didn't cause a scene, was outgoing and friendly to Tom and made the best of the situation (plus, the dance she did at the beginning of the season when LuAnn noted that they'd appeared in Page Six made my year). Dorinda and Jules are very good cast members. Dorinda is lots of fun and stirs the pot and gives amazing drunken toasts. Jules was clearly in the midst of an imploding marriage to a rich little person who thought nothing of leaving his children at his parent's house in tears. Bethenny and Carole did their damnedest to dull LuAnn's shine but their storylines come down to this rather vulgar and crass summary: Bethenny's nether regions can't stop bleeding while Carole's are inevitably drying up, making her relationship with Adam a bit of a farce.

I disagree about Sonja. She's brought a lot to the show - despite Bethenny refusing to film with her for months. What do you think Carole's brought? Maybe I'm missing something as I feel she's done and brought nothing to the show.

The foolhardy attempt on dimming LuAnn's shine goes to show was awful, selfish bitches these women are. Bethenny is obviously the worst, with Ramona far behind, trailed by Sonja who just seems so sad and desperate with her comments about engagement rings she no longer wears and yachts she never owned. Why trash LuAnn's trappings of the fabulous life when you have none of them? Carole is a lot more tolerable without Bethenny, but this needs to be Carole's last season: she has collected a paycheque and provided absolutely nothing all season long. Not one good scene, not one snappy quote. Nothing. I am rooting for LuAnn and her happiness. I hope she looks amazing on the big day, gets showered in jewelry and lives a great life - unlike so many of these women, LuAnn is capable of appreciating the good times.

"No wonder why you cheated on your wife!" - Kelly Dodd. Mic drop.

Of course he did. Truth is an absolute defence to defamation and Beverly is telling the truth. Since it's a civil case it's the balance of probabilities as to who the judge or jury has to believe and there isn't a jury in the United States that would not side with Beverly Johnson. And Cosby is going blind? GOOD. Hopefully he'll fall down a flight of stairs and die. I've had my fill of his bullsh*t.
