Wow I thought I was the only one who loves Yolanda! I read a couple of posts saying "Oh, next season Andy will fire Yolanda because she's not bringing it" and assumed that's how everybody felt. But I love her, love her cooking, her Goopy-know-it-all advice, her straight-arrow take on things, her house, all of it!

IA, for me BH is by far the best franchise because of its slow build. And because it is the most glamorous of the RH franchises, there is plenty of fascinating filler in terms of watching these ladies interact in the BH social firmament. There is a pecking order and all these amazing alliances and hidden agendas between the women. It is almost like a royal court with countesses deferring to duchesses who defer to princesses and queens and whatnot. And there is always something bubbling -- when it explodes, it is major. "We don't say... how he HITS you!" Taylor and Russell being ostracized, etc.

The breakdown in Adrienne's marriage has already started! Did you not see Paul trying to serve Adrienne some food, she dismissed him all "I can do it myself" and he was all "We doing this again?!" and stormed off? I know the marriage likely broke down over a number of issues, but they do seem to fight a lot over Adrienne's food intake (or lack of it).

Marissa Zanuck's mother is amazeballs.

Oh no Camille did NOT just go off on Lisa! Although I sort of love Camille bringing her bitch back to the show. I wonder who does own SUR, then? I assume Ken and Lisa went into partnership with some equity firm that specializes in restaurants and resorts? Maybe Mohammed?

Bullshit. Jill Zarin would return for half that figure. She was begging Andy to take her back on that WWHL interview. Anything for a platform for her Spanx ripoff and My Momma Makes Chicken Soap and Other Stereotypes book.

And no way in hell is she a Bethenny, Nene or Lisa Vanderpump! She is so deluded. She has always resented that Bethenny did well for herself, the licensing deals, the products, the lifestyle brand, and especially the talk show. She felt that was her crown.

Yeah, i believe SUR is owned by Lisa/Ken & one of her friends & some equity. Its truly a very common thing, so im not sure what the issue is. Clearly everyone else involved is a silent partner and thats just good business, imho, as it saves lisa from losing if it were to tank or go under. I think this was even discussed in season one about their other restaurant?

Yolanda is perfect and I wouldnt say shes gone next season. Its nice to have someone give commentary and be the voice of reason/the audience. It will all depend on that reunion as always, lol.

I love Yolanda but I dont think she'd be fired. I see her not coming back on her own accord. She keeps to herself and IMO, didnt klnow what she was signing up for. I think she is above all this drama and cattiness and as rich as she is and all the celebrity connections she has, doesnt need what Bravo has to off her. I dont think she likes being on the show which is why I see her bowing out next season

I was going to say -- most of the higher-end restaurants have some private equity fund backing them in part or entirely. The costs of starting up a restaurant and keeping it running seven days a week with the staffing, rent, food/drink costs and other overheads are huge. It is also a waiting game because some days of the week or even some weeks, there may be less diners, and you have to finance the fallow period before, say, the December party season or Oscar time when reservations go up.

I can see that, and I like that about her -- Bravo doesn't own her. I could see her bowing out although I love the balance she provides as Voice of Reason and above the drama which contaminates HWs like Adrienne, Kyle and Taylor. I do think her blog entries are epic, though, and that is one thing that may entice her to sign up for another season -- the contact with viewers. She seems to relish giving advice and there are a lot of readers who do ask for it on her blog. Yolanda is like a Dutch-accented Goop.

Yay it's not just me! Like I said earlier , I love watching her cook and she seems like she has lots of tips for how to keep a healthy home. Teresa though would have a meltdown if Andy gave Yolanda a cooking show before her...lol. She'd most likely throw some shade and Yolanda would shut her down in a blog or WWHL

    • the tweet linked to https://www.forbes.com/sites/marcberman1/2025/05/02/ruth-buzzi-dies-the-rowan--martin-laugh-in-star-was-88/ That Forbes account of Ruth Buzzi said she'd had Alzheimer's for 10 years? -- they are quoting her facebook as saying that. But her facebook says this: Ruth Buzzi  July 24, 1936 – May 1, 2025 Ruth Buzzi died peacefully in her sleep at home in Texas. She was in hospice care for several years with Alzheimer’s disease. Memorial arrangements by Lacy Funeral Home, Stephenville, Texas to be announced. Her family requests donating to Alzheimer’s research (www.alz.org) in lieu of flowers. https://www.facebook.com/RealRuthBuzzi/posts/pfbid031y2oHoqXMuMCSZg1RToxEVH37UZCvGmrp6JhGBQXoGCv3X6mwouwxATxHF5PtvTJl  But she was tweeting a couple of years ago...  There's more info on @slick jones page here https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/55788-soap-hoppers-the-soap-actors-and-roles-thread/page/380/#comment-1869080 A few hours before her death was announced, her husband posted onto her facebook this: https://www.facebook.com/RealRuthBuzzi/posts/pfbid02hxSLCXSKM62DHE72RFXeY8s8M4PXeAcDJGkhfnTLKVNVpZqSYmAREpr7W7RgDhUzl This is Ruth Buzzi‘s husband writing on her page.  She asked me to thank all of you for being so good to her for so many years.  She wants you to know she probably had more fun doing those shows than you had watching them.    Because of health issues, she’s must withdraw from writing, but she will still be reading and enjoying your posts.   If you've met Ruthie and had a picture taken with her, please post it below.   If you have a great memory from her career that you enjoyed — a special comedy sketch, or a moment that made you laugh — share that with us. Ruthie loves you. --------------
    • Link to the official announcement on her Facebook account: https://www.facebook.com/100052018909496/posts/pfbid031y2oHoqXMuMCSZg1RToxEVH37UZCvGmrp6JhGBQXoGCv3X6mwouwxATxHF5PtvTJl/?app=fbl
    • I feel like the show has been like this for the past 15 or more years, IMO. Things happen but there are never or RARELY any long-term impacts. Instead, everything (characters, history) is just reset to what it was before. In a couple of months, Hope will be working at Forrester again. No one will ever mention the takeover. Brooke and Ridge will be back together for the millionth time, etc etc.  It's hard to get invested in a story when you know this is how the show works.
    • Martin and Smitty's kids not being there seemed like a glaring omission. Also, Naomi and Jacob weren't there as well. I know some of this is probably budget, but it seems like there could be a way to still have them all there.
    • Thanks so much for finding this & posting it. This makes me so angry!!!
    • Dani had a flashback of Dani getting ready for an event with Bill. The gown she wore in the flashback was light green and elegant and gorgeous. The light green flashback dress was quite different than the red/orange/lilac swirling print beaded gown that Dani is wearing to Nicole's anniversary party.   But there was clearly the show's intention to have the Dupree women (except for Nicole) wearing shades of red.   I love Anita but the red gown that she's wearing to the anniversary party -- not flattering.
    • I think you can find them here https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/OLTL What's there is recaps from SOD at the times it shows which is usually from way back up till 2003. Most if not all of this is due to Matt Smith who you may recall from his AW playlists on YoutTube. 
    • Party wardrobe color theme: Good Queen Nicole is in a solid gold gown. The other Dupree women (plus Smitty) are wearing shades of red/pink (with purple accents) -- Anita, Dani, Chelsea, Kat, in dresses. -- Smitty in white shirt and maroon jacket. (did not see Naomi?) "The help" Eva and Mona are in black. Antagonist queen Leslie/Dana in a black/gold gown. The men (except for Smitty) are wearing black. Ted - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (Ted's jacket was shiny with back polka dots on black background) Vernon - black turtleneck, white dress shirt over it, black jacket (no tie). Andre - black T-shirt, gold chain, black jacket. Martin - black shirt, black tie, black jacket. Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (did not see Jacob?) I didn't see Naomi and Jacob at the party, but perhaps they arrive later? The evening is not over yet.
    • Tate seems to love throwing punches now

      I enjoyed his scenes with Johnny. Both of their perspectives make perfect sense to me and are completely relatable. There’s no right or wrong person in this situation and I like that. LH  does pretty well when Tate is angry too, but I also liked the way that he comforted Johnny in the end. Days is finally remembering that they’re cousins. And, Johnny looked hot in the beginning   Btw, Johnny going to work for Xander? That could be interesting. And, also can cause some more animosity between him and EJ.  And again, Marlena/Belle were great. Scenes like theirs really seem to be commonplace under Paula/Jeanne and I couldn’t be happier that they are. It’s helps us get a much better understanding of these characters and why they do the things that they do and feel the way that they feel. Marlena supporting Belle was a bit of surprise, considering her insane reaction when she walked in on EJ and Belle, but I also feel that it’s totally in character for her, both as a psychiatrist and as Belle’s mother.  As for Sophia and Amy… I miss the first Sophia lol but I can’t help but think that Amy suddenly being so nice is foreshadowing of something. Either that, or Paula/Jeanne aren’t biased against her
