New cast member of RHoBH revealed and she's a friend of LVP: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3679750/Lisa-Vanderpump-s-designer-pal-Dorit-Kemsley-named-new-cast-member-joining-season-seven-RHOBH.html

LVP has confirmed she is returning to RHOBH per Twitter. Apparently she's receiving a seven figure salary and will have specific charitable causes spotlighted.

"All of my friends are happy for me except you bitches, WHY!?" - LuAnn "If you're my friend then you should stop talking sh*t about me BEHIND. MY. BACK!" - LuAnn As Coolio said in Gangsta's Paradise: 'You better watch out you're walking, ain't where you're talking..." LuAnn is a Boss. The rest of these women pale in comparison.

NYC Honestly...Carole, go drop dead. She is USELESS this season and her comments about Jules' eating disorder were outrageous. Certainly, Jules appears to have some issues lingering around, but why be so cruel and mean and point them out to her on camera in front of everyone? Digging up Barracuda Heather and swinging the two of them around an ice rink didn't make me nostalgic - it just highlighted how Carole has ZERO purpose other than being a FOA (Friend of Andy). Sonja sorting out her basement with Dorinda was sad. Sonja is likeable, at least to me and I think she's covered up a lot of pain with booze and sunniness and giggles and bad business deals. Sonja wants to be part of a family unit - cared for and caring for others - an old fashioned housewife. She is one of the realer housewives and that sadness was real, how dare that bitch Bethenny try to freeze her out. Dorinda has a really bold sense of style, that cape jacket in a million colours she wore to Jules' house was beautiful and she looked great. She gave Jules great advice. Ramona is still hilarious. LuAnn: "All of my friends are happy for me except you bitches!" - I can't wait for next week, she is a legendary housewife with the last few seasons and the way she's let it fly. I love that she is over Carole and Bethenny and isn't going to play this game. Team LuAnn. She is a straight up badass.

OC I like Kelly because she's smart enough to lay out all her dirty laundry about her marriage before any of the women had the chance to talk about her behind her back. No marriage is perfect and Kelly has boldly acknowledged the flaws in her own. She has wisely aligned herself with Vicki who already has the majority of viewers behind her after the rest of the women demonstrated just how petty they're going to be about this Brooks debacle. It isn't that I blindly believe everything Vicki says, but I think she was honest about her "sympathy and a casserole" comment. That's what she wanted and none of the women gave it to her. They hated Brooks more than they liked Vicki. She will emerge from this season back on top - that is a foregone conclusion - she makes for great television and isn't a vile victim like Tamra. Tamra created a monster with Ryan and she's done NOTHING to get him to grow up. He's a spoiled man child with zero ambition and Eddie is 100% right. It must gall him to see Ryan take his wife's money and throw it away. Say what you will about Simon Barney but he wasn't wrong about Ryan. Tamra is on thin ice being friends with his baby mama - she will turn on Tamra in an instant. Meghan is totally irrelevant and unlikeable and I don't want to follow her journey to motherhood at all. Terry and Heather are on the contrived storyline train. If Heather wanted Terry to work less she would not have bought that land and built that ostentatious house. She would have bought a simple home and stopped living an extravagant life. It was surprising for Terry to admit he performed surgery on 4 hours sleep - I'd be uneasy about that if I was a patient.

NYC I can't with Bethenny. She's such a bitch. I have zero pity for her. Carole's storyline has been a dog's wedding. Are we meant to be impressed? No LuAnn this week was disappointing. Sonja was practically glowing this week. Her practice apology with Ramona was hilarious. Ramona nailed Bethenny's crap.

I am sooooo glad OC is back! Most importantly: we got a Jeana Keough sighting! YES!

How dare Bethenny try to ice LuAnn out from having a wedding special - that bag of bones bitch! LuAnn's Palm Beach wedding would be incredible - we DESERVE to see it. LuAnn has the fan base to sustain it. ESPECIALLY after this season and her powerful white Armani suit!

Nene is an example of how dramatically a nose job can change a face. She looks quite different and I don't know if I'd say better - of course it's still incredibly swollen and will be for several weeks, so it's early days and she is going to look even more different soon.

The only thing I'd point out is Sonja actually has nothing to do with how Tipsy Girl is run - nor does she own it. Apparently she's paid by Peter, Ramona's former business partner at AOA, to promote it.

LuAnn's Armani power suit was EVERYTHING. Throw on some casual diamonds and enough chatter to drown out Bethenny and we had a very memorable scene. LuAnn was a hurricane of self congratulations and I loved every second of it. A pity about Jules' marriage with Polly Pocket. When she was telling Dorinda how he is always late the first thing that came to mind is: he's cheating, duh! But who knows what the truth is - interesting that anyone associated with Fred Flintstone/Dorinda's John comes off sleazy. The producers are making a terrible mistake by letting any cast member ice out another from a group trip - especially Sonja whose always a hoot.

It's than, not then. Ugh. Someone proofread her work before she hits send. Praise the good lord above! She can say whatever she wants - I don't care so long as she's GONE. Congrats to LVP. To the victor go the spoils. She won the war.

I loved the OC Revealed special...though I disagree that they all came off bad. Eerily I thought Tamra and Vicki came off just fine and true to how they are on the show. Tamra, in particular, seemed very 'professional' and clearly has a strong grasp of the reality television production side. The producers all seem to respect Vicki, despite also saying she's got the worst temper and how clearly demanding she is during production. However, like Tamra, she seems to have a good understanding of how the production side works. I agree that the producers seemed to hate Gretchen. GOOD. I don't like her either. It's interesting how the producers all said Gretchen didn't want the women there, Gretchen says the exact opposite and the women (of course) side with the producers. I howled at the idea of Heather pitching a friend to join the show when Alexis left a dinner scene - she can deny it all she wants, I believe it. This is the same team that produces Beverly Hills, it'd be interesting to see what one of those specials would be like.

RHOCheshire Good reunion. I'm glad they kept it down to an hour, the 3 hour epics that Bravo puts on the air could all be trimmed down to a compelling hour, rather than a snooze worthy marathon. Ampika rocked this reunion and it did my heart good to see her get right under Tanya's skin. I really despise Tanya, she is way worse than Dawn: dumber, more aggressive and a bigger waste of space than anyone in this franchise. At least Dawn can have a hint of self awareness and self deprecating humour - Tanya is a buffoon who laughs at her own jokes. Very sad about Lauren and Paul. I kept hoping that this separation was just for the storyline and that they'd miraculously reunite but she seems pretty devastated by the whole thing. Stacy and Seema are basically interchangeable, but I definitely prefer Seema. I wouldn't mind seeing Stacy cut. Misse is a humourless bitch. She needs to go.

And Bethenny was friends with the woman whose husband she's now dating according to the Post. Good lord, the hypocrisy in this room could choke a snake [(c) Erica Kane 1996] Dawn's now a convicted criminal. Hilarious. Obviously, Sinitta is shameless in her publicity seeking, that goes without saying, but if Dawn touched her...she should have read Britain's criminal laws, while it is the lowest form of assault, it is assault. If I were Dawn I'd be sure I returned to RHOCheshire with a great charitable storyline in the works.

Susan Lucci's fake slap was way better than Kelly Ripa's.

NYC Carole and Bethenny are such miserable cows. Carole, especially, brings NOTHING to the table. LuAnn is teflon, she is hard as nails and she will triumph. Interesting how Jules' father made a miraculous recovery between episodes. Drama queen. I feel sorry for Sonja. She is harmless. She needs focus.

Yolanda's book...sure fire bestseller. Or not. Allegedly: Vancouver died a screaming, hissing, ten headed hydra kind of death and it's all thanks to Jody Claman. She sued Mary back in 2014 after her daughter, the dreadful Mia, was shot in a drive by shooting and Mary said to the media that if you hang around with gang members that these kinds of things happen. Obviously Jody didn't like that...so she sued (the lawsuit went nowhere). Mia's baby daddy died of a "drug overdose" several months later. Vancouver is simply too small a city to reboot the show. The wealthy people with discretion would never be on the show. Toronto has all the makings of being a great franchise, Vancouver got toxic, so I'm all for this change.

And the counterargument to that is how is being a slut or a whore a crime that needs to be called out by anyone? Isn't it only LuAnn's business who she chooses to sleep with? It's slut shaming and it isn't acceptable. LuAnn has been a sexually liberated woman for years.

Yes it's an interesting shift to not have Eileen there to backup Lips - I know the rumour was Eileen was getting a ton of money to be on the show, so she may have priced herself out (and her crap this season certainly did her no favours) - this whole chain of events is a dramatic overhaul of BH again - which the show desperately needs...this last season was excruciating to get through. They need to do what NYC has done because it's been fabulous this season.

If the news is true and LemonLyme is gone I clink a glass of rose in celebration with LVP - Long Live The Queen! I too would have kept Kathryn because LVP needs someone to have her back and Kathryn was a decent person - it's that very decency which likely sealed her fate. Erika will self destruct in season 2. I can almost guarantee it. The cracks in her veneer will show. I don't know what Lips is going to do given how she lost her mind with LVP and burned that bridge...

Tonight's episode of NYC was epic...but it also doesn't sit right with me. Bethenny slut shamed LuAnn and that is not acceptable. LuAnn is who she is and she hasn't been The Countess for years. LuAnn has long been a sexually liberated woman. From Jacques to the Pirate to the 'Be Cool, Don't Be All Uncool...NOT REALLY' in St. Barths....LuAnn has been living her life on her terms for years. She's also been dealing with slut shaming from the likes of Carole and Bethenny for years too. At last year's reunion she had to defend herself saying "I'm a grown woman, I can do what I want!" I do not understand or respect Bethenny's argument that LuAnn is a fake and that she acts one way and then judges other people for the same behaviour: no she does not. LuAnn's conflict with Carole (sad, tired, pathetic Carole with no story of her own) exists solely because Carole slept with LuAnn's niece's ex boyfriend moments after he and LuAnn's niece broke up. They can try to make LuAnn look like a hypocrite all they like but it simply isn't accurate. Certainly, the scene with LuAnn and Jules was awful and LuAnn was about as self centred as it gets - though Jules, if your father is dying, why in God's name are you in the Berkshires? Get on a plane and see your father. Ramona was fun this episode, as she luxuriates in none of the drama being about her. I also enjoyed how she went up to each and every one of those women when Dorinda got upset and told them to suck it up for Dorinda. Dorinda (and her housekeeper) clearly put a lot of effort into her home and hosting the event. Sonja is always a hoot - though I was disappointed it wasn't Dr. Sharon Giese (she always gets an annual appearance courtesy of Ramona and Sonja) doing Sonja's vaginal refresher. Sonja is a harmless mess. The only person who can possibly be hurt by Sonja is Sonja. I wish her so well, she's got the guts to get herself sorted out.

Totally agree with you on all points. I cannot stand Misse and Tanya is awful too - Tanya's really going down in my estimate next week when she insults Lauren. It it is good that the mystery of Ampika is solved - half Thai! Even though Dawn is still making petty fights her thing she's far more likeable this season than previously because she's up front and pulls no punches. Everyone saw this coming. She needs to divorce, clean up her finances (because you know he got his hands on her money) and cut him out of her life. He had always been bad news - don't ignore your family when they try to stop your wedding!

Word on pretty much everything you said. I do think Dorinda did the best she could in the circumstances. Dis-inviting Sonja was likely producer-mandated -- aka Bethenny refuses to film with TipsyGirl! How interesting that Carole does not demand the same thing with LuAnn. Looks like Carole badly needs LuAnn to hate on while LuAnn has her SLs with Bethenny, Sonja and Tom and couldn't care less. Personally I love Dorinda because she has a lot of heart. I hope she is not too deep into the *alleged* drugs. Personally I believe all the NY HWs are using/abusing something. Possibly coke. Allegedly. LuAnn's a partier. Sonja... well, we've all seen her high as a kite. Same with Ramona. Same with Dorinda. Bethenny and Jules? I don't know. Maybe as part of their weight-loss program? And Carole openly tokes and takes ecstasy because she is so hip to the 'young people' now. LuAnn owns that she loves men and loves having a good time. She smokes and parties and adores that whole nightlife/freebee invites thing. So I give her props for not pretending to be something she isn't. *side-eyes Phaedra* In NYC people are pretty open about their love life and dating around. LuAnn was totally baiting Bethenny when she said she 'helped' come up with the idea for Skinny Girl. I understand why Bethenny was pissed about that. However, Bethenny has been such an ice-cold bitch. She pretends she doesn't care about anything and is the truth-teller, but she is constantly belittling the other women. Being bitchy is not a sign of strength, it's a sign of weakness because she wants to be the only top dog on the show. I am sure she will kick LuAnn'd ass next week though for daring to suggest that Bethenny is not a lone business whizzkid. Ramona is tacky for not cleaning up after her pooping dog. NYC I loved when LuAnn and Sonja were reading the tabloids together and Sonja struck a pose and busted a move when LuAnn noted her name was in the Post. That was a moment straight out of Absolutely Fabulous. The two of them in their slips and furs and slippers in Sonja's kitchen were hilarious and they could easily be their own spinoff. I could watch a whole season of just LuAnn and Sonja dishing in that slightly crumbling townhouse. LuAnn and her guy, Tom, seem a good match. He's articulate and seems attentive and solid. And he has money, and given LuAnn's substantial Hampton's assets, she shouldn't be dating anyone below her and Tom seems to fit that bill. Jules and Michael are an adorable couple and I'm rooting for them/her. He is Polly Pocket sized but has a gentle confidence that makes him seem taller than any guy in the room. Bethenny is a straight up foul bitch. How dare she attempt to slut shame LuAnn? What a gutter move. Bethenny and Carole are so unpleasant and I really cannot fathom why Carole is still on the show as she brings NOTHING to the table this season.

Janet was amazing! Did you catch her effortless shade of Pettifleur at the beginning of the show? "Who begs to diffah? Why do you need Spanx if you are in da best shape of your life?" I died laughing. It was such a good impression. Janet clearly put some time into that one. She WAS Pettifleur in that moment and even Pettifleur couldn't say much in response to it.
