Everyone rush to Bravo and read LVP's blog. She 'went there' with Lips and Eileen. It's a mic drop worthy blog. "With hindsight, after seeing so much nastiness where I have never retaliated, I would have asked her how she felt screwing some other woman's husband. That actually, in retrospect, speaks volumes." "I thank you for your indomitable support. No, as LR has said, I didn't play the victim. The victim would be better played by a C-list actress who would depart in floods of tears. I sat there." The Empress has spoken.

@Nothin'ButAttitude thank you for the links!!! They ruined all my well intentioned plans for the evening (but they were amazing!) Melbourne Pettifleur is the nastiest, most humourless bitch out of all the Real Housewife franchises. She is just vile. She is nuts! She clearly loathes her son's girlfriend and is the mother in law from hell. She is just awful and so self Lydia's inability to grasp basic geography (UNITED ARAB EMIRATES!) goes to show that Janet nailed it when she dubbed her 'Lydiot'...I have this feeling Joanna is going to stab her to death randomly one day with the way she talks down to her. Janet and Brian...again...just get it over with. They're two peas in a pod. Jackie and Ben should not have children unless they're 100%. It isn't all sweetness and light. Potomac "You're a stupid woman who says stupid things!" - I'm glad Katie said it. But it applies to all of them. Karen was vicious at lunch and strident as ever - but she brings life to the show and without her it would be awful. I'm glad it's over and I won't be watching the reunion - I'll just read a recap. Cheshire I am so glad it's back! It was a great episode! Misse...a supermodel? No. Nope. Never was. She looks SO old for 29. I'm on the fence about her. Stacey...whatever. I see why Dawn forgets her name. She's totally forgettable. Seema - love her. Love her husband. Love her sons. What a great addition! Dawn drunk off her ass at the fashion show amused me because she devolves into the rough broad from Bolton without much effort. Leanne and Tanya - obviously they're only worth 50% housewife a piece. Leanne seems totally over Dawn...that will be interesting. It's a shame about Lauren and Paul because I adore those two together and I find Lauren funny as all get out. Hopefully it's either worked out or they part ways amicably. Ampika is hilarious and full on. Bring on this season!

Melbourne... This episode the only people with clean hands were Gamble and Suzie. Gamble had a beautiful wedding and the speeches made were so heartfelt. I wish a long and happy marriage to her and Rick. In theory Pettifleur's hands were pretty clean at the wedding, but she's such a bitch the whole rest of the time I can't even with her. Janet, Chyka, Lydia and Jackie were all in very poor taste for going after Gina at Gamble's wedding. However, Gina was in very poor taste for leaving Gamble's pre wedding dinner and drinks to go watch herself on television while passing it off as her son's birthday and inviting random wedding strays. If I was Gamble I would have been hurt. And the argument that she 'had' to because of social media commitments could have been easily remedied by having her assistant do it - that's what most of Hollywood does after all. Janet and her ex should just get back together and call it a day. They clearly adore each other, faults and all. Chyka's daughter has a terrible attitude. Considering how hard working Chyka and Bruce are they have raised a pathetically lazy selfish brat. Gina's scenes with her father were sad - especially because she acknowledged that she doesn't see him enough and will end up regretting it. That bothers me because she knows there is an issue but she's not taking any steps to rectify it. And yes she's busy but people make the time if they really want to. Her son's birthday was awkward given that nobody under the age of 45 (except Gina's assistant) were there.

LVP's blog also slays Eileen...she'll regret ever making 'the affair' an issue with LVP because she armed her with knowing exactly which button to push...she nuked her in the following paragraph: "So clearly much has been discussed between the soap actresses, with one evidently wearing a director's hat, orchestrating discussions to be brought to the forefront, discussions of subjects that had transpired many months ago. I was naive as I had no idea until now how aggressively the soap actress pursued her mouthpiece...Shameful, but I suppose she is that kind of woman. She won't stop until she gets what she wants...Boom."

BH Oh what an ugly episode for so many involved but the worst by far for Eileen. She came across as incredibly petty as she brought up The Affair, yet again, with the same song and dance that fell flat as a pancake. The issue Eileen seems unable to not grasp is that LVP already apologized, Eileen already said they were good (after LVP said "you're sure? Because I need to be really f*cking good with you!") and it seems Eileen has brought this issue up in every single episode since The Affair was mentioned. She needs to Let It Go but she just cannot because it's the only storyline she's got this year. Rinna didn't bother me as much but she's got this bad habit of using SoCal Therapy Speak buzzwords. You could make a drinking game out of her use of 'Own It' 'Authentic' 'Real' 'My Truth' 'I Never Lie' and 'Scapegoat'. Kyle managed to wail like a banshee and make everything all about her and Kim and how screwed up they all are - it's a real skill. I do think Kyle has a friendship with LVP that she values. Kathryn made all sorts of sense in saying it's a cultural issue between LVP and Eileen and The Affair and subsequent apologies. Erica did as well - they both seem to have the rational sense that Eileen lacks and don't seem to take any validation from an apology. Considering how these two fought they've been incredibly civil to each other on this trip. I didn't notice LemonLyme this episode and that was a godsend. I will not enjoy her Xanax Picnic with Kim and Brandi next week. LVP took a hit this episode - but Kyle's indifference to the conflict softens the blow. Who knows who is to be belived because both angles benefit the respective women's stories and images. A simple truth is this: LVP is the master of this franchise and genre, she was made for it. If she did try to implicate Kyle maybe there was a reason - or maybe she wanted to amp up the story - either way a crappy thing to do to Kyle...though I'm sure LVP would feel more than justified given their history. Eileen and Rinna really bet on the wrong horse (themselves) in this season - the fact is they both have needed LVP for every moment of story they've had all season. But antagonizing her doesn't do either of them any favours in the long run so I hope the momentary storyline was worth it.

I was just in all 3! Sydney definitely deserves one but I didnt think Auckland was all that glamorous ETA: You should have put a warning with that link. That face.... RHOBH damn, she went in Good for Camille. Kelsey is a real jerk for what he's done to her...

I need a Melbourne link if anyone has one...

Last night's ATL reunion was much of the same...pretty dull...just a bunch of women screaming at each other while Sheree made amusing side commentary. Andy obviously adores Phaedra's son Ayden, but I don't know if it's right for him to be around the set like that given the filth some of these women spew. Kandi was bang on about everyone attempting to gang up on Kenya about that the aggressive guy on the Miami trip. Kenya's a delusional sack of sh*t, but everyone was wrong for acting like she had any responsibility in how that guy acted. Next week looks good as Nene arrives and Chris and Kim trash Kenya for all her homophobic nonsense.

Yessssssss. Cheshire concluded in November, so it's about 6 months since the last season aired, but I'm not complaining.

So very lovely. Dame Babs is appreciating this so very much.

Unfortunately, Meredith Vieira is still under contract with NBC News, despite her talk show being cancelled so unless it's bought out by ABC I don't think she'd legally be able to and I don't see NBC letting her go, once her show wraps she's headed to Rio to cover the Olympics.

Camille, in retrospect, was awesome. She was the only true 'Hollywood Wife' (RIP Jackie Collins!) to ever grace a franchise that should have been filled with them. And her season 2 redemption - amazing. I would love a Camille return. Im surprised Jeana didn't make the top 10 - I'd love for her to return to OC.

LVP nuked Lips and Eileen in that blog. They made a really big error going against her. She would have been their staunchest ally. Fools. Hopefully she obliterated them at the reunion - they had it coming.

RHOBH That was a lot of LemonLyme dominating the episode with her Golden Lyme Awards and then having the long goodbye to her fridge while her marriage was obviously imploding like a stadium on demolition day. Brandi looked awful in her talking head interview. Tacky and uncouth. I was surprised at Eileen's choice of long haul flight clothing. Odd. Otherwise, not much else to say about this episode. LVP looked regal in that caftan and her real diamonds with her hair piled casually on top. I really do see a day when LVP leaves Beverly Hills, moves back to the South of France and just relaxes dripping in diamonds and exotic caftans. It's really gotta grate on Kyle that she's never pulled off a caftan like LVP did on her first try while she's been wearing them for years. Next week looks awful for all involved. Melbourne Pettifleur. Honestly. What a bitch. She is so thoroughly unpleasant it's no wonder no one wants to be around her sorry ass. What a disgusting dress to wear to someone else's wedding. Chyka's earring game in this episode was awesome. She has a treasure trove of costume jewels and she always looks chic as hell. "Alin just broke up with his girlfriend so he's giving me the wedding he planned for himself" - Gamble. Was anyone else surprised Alin had a girlfriend? He's been a bigger bridezilla than Gamble ever could have been (she's actually been incredibly restrained and relaxed)...I really love the dynamic between Gamble, Rick and Luke. Rick is so proud of Luke - the whole thing is heartwarming. THAT is how you do an epic Real Housewives wedding. Janet - LOVE Janet. Her talking head interviews are so witty. She looked gorgeous at the wedding. There was a particular shot as Gamble walked down the aisle and the music swelled and the sun hit Janet and she just looked drop dead gorgeous. A very classic Australian beauty. I also have to say, I really do enjoy her and Brian together. They've been there, done that and bought the t-shirt. I say, if it makes Janet happy, what the hell, it may be sweeter the second time around. Gina, Gina, Gina...oh dear she did not come off well in this episode. Very insensitive to Gamble's wedding to be so focused on Celebrity Apprentice. And for lying straight up to Gamble's face. She should have just swallowed her ego and PVR'd the show. Jackie is going to expose Gina. And that's Jackie's role on the show. And she fills it well. And I like seeing her and Ben together. Lydia moaning about how miserable the last year was - is that why she's such a gossip bitch? Please. That just wreaked of whiney desperation. She's not a great fake crier. Susie is totally irrelevant.

Kenya's a rude bitch. And deluded when it comes to her career. She is a NOBODY. And for the record, Phaedra is right: she has horrible skin.

Does anyone know how Linda Dano is doing? She's been dormant on social media since November.

Any Melbourne links? I'm desperate!

Honestly, BH should just bring on Faye Resnick and let the dynamite explode. I wonder if she's utterly against full time appearances after all the harassment she got.

@Cat I posted about Melbourne several pages back - loving it! So far as BH goes I'm sick of this season and look forward to it wrapping up. It sounds like Dubai is a brutal time for LVP - she's compared it to Puerto Rico - so I'm not looking forward to it. Eileen has been a huge disappointment this season. One of the worst second seasons for a housewife ever. And believe me when I say I am a huge fan of her DAYS and Y&R work...but if this is the 'real' Eileen she sucks as a person. The bottom line is Eileen's trigger is anyone mentioning that her marriage started from an affair. However she might like to paint the state of her and Vince's previous marriages, they had an affair and that's selfish and ugly and there's no getting around that and it seems she just can't stand it when someone brings it up. LVP did I this year (Brandi did it last year) and that's why she's Eileen's target. For someone whose accusing LVP of being manipulative, Eileen is very much the pot meeting the kettle. She was incredibly blatant with her manipulation of Lips in the luggage store. Gathering a cabal of LVP hatred, aligning with LemonLyme and Erika, and being fake as hell with not letting her fight with LVP over the "apology" go has ruined Eileen. I hope she gets annihilated at the reunion. She has it coming. Otherwise I am bored with the LemonLyme show. She was in the episode a lot and I think there's a direct correlation between that and the episode being torture to get through. David Foster looked positively checked out of that marriage. Kathryn is a dud. There's nothing compelling about her. A one season wonder if there ever was one. At this point I don't know where they take the show. Part of me thinks they'd be better off having Kim on to replace Kathryn, fire LemonLyme, hire a new housewife or get Taylor back on. The show is in bad shape. If LVP quits then I can dump this franchise and stick with NYC and Melbourne and Cheshire.

New Jersey sounds like torture. I won't be watching.

I don't understand how everyone doesn't see how blatantly homophobic it is to debate whether Kim Fields' husband is gay or effeminate. Every single woman on that show should be ashamed of themselves. They're all bigoted while fawning for 'their gays'...

Melbourne Pettifleur is such a piece of sh*t. She is such a perpetual victim. What a loser. She is such a bitch. She's mentally unhinged. And wearing coloured contact lenses doesn't change who she is, despite what she might otherwise think or want. Jackie's reactions made me laugh this episode. She was right about Pettifleur's bs crying about not being walked down the aisle by her father. What a whacko. Jackie is so right about Pettifleur's crap is repetitive and stupid. Lydiot crying was so validating. It's about time she's realized she's the root of most problems. The issue I have is how she tries to smooth things over without any skill whatsoever. Susie is such a Lydia hater and it's delicious. She hasn't got much of a storyline or purpose otherwise, but Lydia is so vacuous and awful that having someone on the show whose sole role is to hate her is fine by me. Gamble has the filthiest laugh and I mean that in the best way. Her stepson is very lucky he's ending up with her as a stepmother - I think she relishes their relationship and 'gets' him. Janet is gutsy to reveal a PTSD diagnosis. But that's Janet - spirit triumphant. Her family is very sweet and supportive and loving: that's a great real life. She'd be a fun lady to go on a date with and I can see why her ex-husband wants her back. Not much from Gina this episode...but I will say she should consider not wearing dresses so tight, they aren't flattering her anymore. Next week's storm pre-wedding looks amazing - you couldn't make those scenes up. I am just loving this season, as I have the last two. Melbourne does this so right. These women are so much realer than the rest.

How awful...if that's the case I hope LVP quits so I can give up on this franchise.

Vimeo leak please!

RHOBH Kathryn really bothered me in this episode and showed a really awful side of herself. She lied about everything on camera and with extremely easy to contradict statements. Her statement to Donnie about LVP and Erika was just plain dishonest. She was totally inappropriate in Erika's home and she's lucky that Tom Girardi is a gentleman. Eileen has ruined her own reputation this season. She's come across so petty and stupid and her aligning herself with LemonLyme just sucks. She's irritating and annoying and has definitely stooped. Lips needs to own her behaviour. She is the one who brought up Munchausen and implicating LVP and Kyle for encouraging her to do it is a cop out. And judging from her Bravo blog she knows it. Lips would be great if she were more fearless and didn't retreat. That's what made Camille great: "We don't say that he hits you! But now we've said it!" Lips could be greater too if she just went for it and didn't try to pass the buck. LemonLyme is not fooling anyone. Not even Erika. You can look at Erika's reaction to LemonLyme calling and bailing and see that she just doesn't even bother to use logic, she just accepts that LemonLyme is going to use whatever illness she's concocted, be it mental or physical, for whatever convenient excuse she wants. It is interesting she kept saying to Kathryn that she now can't have a hope of being friends with LVP - as if she ever wanted that in the first place? Or maybe she did and she just didn't click with LVP so she stuck with the Lyme Alliance. Kyle and Mauricio, in my humble opinion, only do charity work to be seen to be doing charity work. It's fine to have The Agency branding everywhere, I get it and his business should benefit - but they have this habit of having one charitable event per season for show. It rings hollow. Erika has manners and despite her humble beginnings she has far more class than Kathryn. However, Erika doesn't want to just deal with her critics or accept that she spoke lowly of LVP and that such talk had consequences. LVP was rude at Erika's dinner, but has restraint, while Kathryn does not. She also has an interesting dynamic with Tom Gerardi: they have each other's numbers. The thing I see is that LVP knows when to ease off: such as the house building where she warned Kyle that Erika didn't find any of it funny. I don't think LVP cares at all that the women think she's manipulative. The truth is they are all manipulative, she's just better at it. If only she and Erika has aligned. It could have been so different.
