Anyone watch these shows? I absolutely love them. Ive watched NJ and Atlanta and now they are airing NY. Couldnt get into the Orange County. Too many blondes and fake boobs. Anyone else watching the current season of NY. Lots of drama. My favorites are Bethany and Kelly. I also like Jill although she bugs me. Alex does nothing for me and I cant stand Ramona and LuAnn

Watching RHOBH.

So.... Lisa and Ken leave PR and it signals immediate guilt? WTFever.

Kim has a face like a bulldog chewing a wasp. She is so invested in Lisa and Ken being ousted. Does she think that with them gone, Kim is going to get more meaningful airtime? lmao. She has no airtime without mentioning their asses. Kim says she is pleased they are gone. Ooooo. Burn.

How sweet that everybody is getting along so well! It's all so REAL and GENUINE and SPONTANEOUS! What a fakefest. Everybody promises not to mention the Wicked Fairy but they just can't help themselves. Oh the energy without Lisa here is so different! It's wonderful! Kim is making a play for the 'Unfunniest Housewife on Bravo' award by imitating Puerto Ricans speaking "olé olé blah blah." It's called Spanish, you tool. She and Brandi decide to splash around, barefoot, in a fountain and all I can think is aaaargh! GERMS! Do you know how many birds and people piss, sh!t and vomit in recycled fountain water?! Luckily security is here to chase them away and decontaminate the fountain. LOL, c'mon. The joke writes itself!

Lisa talking with Carlton is probably the most relaxed and vulnerable I have seen Lisa all season. I can't disagree with Ken's words about how these people are no longer their friends. Apart from those amazing distracting eyelashes, I feel so bad for the Queen.

Thankfully the episode is leaving this toxic BS for now. First we get a not-at-all-staged moment (!) where Brandi gifts her mom with a new car -- at Yolanda's mansion. Because her condo is too shiteous to be filmed. Her mom and dad looked genuinely thrilled but seeing Yolanda and Hellooooo my Love! play the generous proxy benefactors felt off to me. Especially after Yol's WWHL interview.

Kim's ex is HOT AS SIN. He looks about 32! Young Kimberley and I had identical college experiences -- I, too, walked through into my dorm room and discovered a closet with a bunk bed in it. Gigi is having the college living experience I wish I had -- a multi-million dollar apartment in Manhattan. Yes, please! Having said that, living in a dorm was as meaningful, difficult, but ultimately as rewarding an experience as going to class. Gigi might be missing out. Still, both Lemons and the drunken pony did raise great daughters.

OMG, Taylor!!! Kennedy is so lively now! Portia is a sweetheart but that older daughter, Sophia, is clearly trying out for her own future reality show with that screeching.

Next week: ugh. I despise those witches again.

Oh Cat, how I love thee!

Oh I agree, Kim's ex was HOT. Too hot for her lizard looking a**. And her personality sucks, so Kim must got that "good-good." She must give that good sex for her to bag him. Last night's episode was BORING. Just shows how drab this show would be w/o Lisa … nothing.

I've never been happier to see TayShanna. Dare I say I'd wish to have her back over Blandi? At least Taylor was a reasonable wreck. She knew her place at least.

Their kids will go to one of Juicy's siblings. There is no way in the world they should go live with Joe and Melissa.

You never know….

They will likely stagger it. It may even be part of the plea deal. Teresa will go first, do a year, maybe the rest at home with an ankle tag. Then Joe will go and serve longer than the minimum, IMO, because he says it was all him and the counts against him are so many. I wonder if Immigration will deport him after his sentence ends but according to Tamara Tattles, it is rare for the US to actually deport.

Well that would be nice (if true) if they do this. Too nice.

NBA, thanks! It felt good to write it.

I thought you would like what Lisa has to say in her blog: http://www.bravotv.com/the-real-housewives-of-beverly-hills/season-4/blogs/lisa-vanderpump/lisa-on-the-point-of-the-tabloid

As we conclude this fiasco of a vacation (I use that word loosely), it brings it all back. . .

I understand Joyce and Michael's comment saying that we should have answered. But, as Joyce now says when she sees the footage since she wasn't there, I answered on the beach -- and that for most people would've been enough.

So when I witness Yolanda stating I left because I didn't want to have that conversation. . .she was right. I knew what they were looking for. They were looking for blood. It is quite fascinating to see the two-faced conversations, full of animosity from people I believed to be friends, that led up to this. I hope they are proud of themselves and what they see. I wouldn't be -- that's a certainty.

I do believe that if you state categorically, denying the accusation, as I did to Kyle saying"I did not see the magazines when we were at Brandi's house." I was baffled, but still defending myself. To then keep perpetually interrogating me with the same question -- well at that point that is tantamount to being called a liar. I should only have to answer it once. When I see Mauricio calling me a "f---ing bitch" on the beach over a rumor from the trustworthy Brandi, that hurts. Kim had only heard it from Brandi too. She wasn't there. . . but was acting as if she was a viable witness. Then in an interview, for Kim to say she was glad we were gone -- that spoke volumes.

Yolanda now states in her blog that no, she never saw me with the magazine. I wish she had said that at the time. Carlton who was there too and potentially could have supported me -- she confirmed that also. I had been the last one to arrive. We were in the hallway and no she also never saw the tabloid. Where was this all coming from?

Carlton had been cancelled from the trip, which was a shame as she could have backed me up. The point of this conversation was mystifying. What could possibly result from it? Nobody had mentioned the tabloid all weekend when we had been in Palm Springs. We had given the stories the credence they deserved. The only result that could transpire from this assertion was a wedge between Kyle and I.

I had had enough. I have precious little spare time at the moment and had really reached my limit. You only see 43 minutes. I was there two days.

I was confronted by Yolanda and chastised with accusation of not being a supportive friend. It was outside just before I joined the table. She was accusing me of only coming to see her twice -- once, for dinner opposite her house with our husbands, and once to sit with her in her bedroom. She lives 45 minutes from BH not around the corner.

It did not really make sense to me. I had been busy on Dancing With the Stars. She was at many of our group events -- in the boxing ring, at the circus event, and I hadn't seen her as particularly frail. Although I'm sure this Lyme Disease is challenging, in fact I was quite impressed at her strength as she throttled the poor, unsuspecting teacher.

Although I'm sure this Lyme Disease is challenging, in fact I was quite impressed at her strength as she throttled the poor, unsuspecting teacher.

She also stated that I had let Brandi down by pulling away, but Lord knows I had tried to help her. I think as a friend you accept them for what they are and try to help them with what they can become. Of course, I had tried to slow down her drinking, especially when we were all together as a group for the world to see. And, well you know what reaction transpired from that. . .

I had unequivocally been told to back off. They were becoming closer. I was informed I was not going to Sacramento and I understood that and there seemed to be strengthening in their relationship, almost like allies.

It all so contradictory. "You mother me too much. " "You haven't called me for a week." I have my own children and businesses and am always there in an hour of need -- as I was many a time even in an emergency. That is what a friend does, no questions asked. I know I am that three o'clock in the morning phone call to the people I include as friends. I also know in my heart that Ken and I had been incredibly supportive in many ways. I won't explain that. I don't need to count. If you count you will always be behind.

When we left that hotel, after Kim had been pretty abusive with no regret, we knew to stay or inform them that we were exhausted by the unrelenting accusations and wanted to leave it would result in an even more complicated scenario.

We looked at each other as we were going to bed, saddened by the day's events and decided to get the hell out of there -- to find the most glorious hotel on the island and vanish for a few days, to recover and lick my wounds. So that is what happened.

Ken had unfortunately developed an infection, potentially septicemia in his arm. We had to find an emergency doctor who came to us at the St Regis. He had his elbow lanced, intravenous antibiotics, and a course of treatment. I am sure when they discovered we weren't there in the morning, they all rejoiced in Puerto Rico that the witch was dead and some, who had orchestrated this attack, could now have center stage. . . That ultimately is what this is all about.

A week passed. Yolanda tweeted a photo of Kyle and Kim tagged "girl power" so I knew they were united by their common enemy and that it was a subliminal message to me.

Carlton came over and I tried to explain to her how I felt, but I still felt too emotional. You have seen me for a 120 episodes and rarely, if ever, have seen me cry. I don't like to show that and I hate to watch it now. But I was deeply hurt and had not heard from any of them, which was fascinating by virtue of the fact that this was just an accusation, hurled by someone who had a penchant for vindictive, defamatory statements.

As we witness the girls prepare for college, it was a poignant moment. As a parent, I have been through the emotional wrench as our children leave the nest. I developed shingles when Max went. But now I think I would have it if they came back! But all those years of preparing them, and then it's over and you wait with bated breath for that phone call when they need you and your job as a mother is not redundant -- the validation that you are the one they turn to.

The one thing I hope for, is that as our children make their way. We have instilled in them the most fundamental lesson, to be kind to one another and remember honesty is only a virtue when coupled with kindness. . .Thank you for watching.

Love always,
Lisa

Thanks, Cat. I got a chance to read all the blogs that were posted last night and I'm glad to see that Lisa, Joyce, and somewhat Carlton (re: her misguided feelings on Joyce) are on the same page. I also like too that Carlton has recently come out and disputed (and dismantled) Brandi's claim about "magazine-gate" by spilling that Lisa arrived late Brandi's and didn't even go into Brandi's hardly. She supposedly just peeked in and played with the dogs for a few and then they departed for their trip.

Not sure if y'all already posted this, but Nene is officially going to be on DWTS.

Great recap Cat, as always.

Kim's ex is a hottie mctottie! She must've bagged him before all the sun damage set in.

(Side note: after seeing people like Kim in her 40's after years of tanning, I'm done with fake-baking. I'll just stay my pasty pale self and stop doing damage to myself!)

Seeing Taylor was refreshing. You are so right. She knew her place. Yes, she originally fronted with 60K birthday parties or whatnot, but post-Russell, she knew she was the messy tag-along, but a harmless one.

It was also great to see Camille on WWHL. Andy just loves saying her full name and you know he'd love her to return. So would I.

Gigi is one lucky girl! Damn!

Damn that sucks re Teresa. But I hope she handles it with dignity and grace and eventually moves on....

I hate what Im watching on BH. Ken and Lisa leaving like that makes them come across as cowards. IA with Joyce that at the very least, they should have informed her they were leaving. Their fight wasn't with her and she was the host of the trip, so I don't see why they couldn't do that. Cowards. I did like her scene with Carlton later as it did a lot to humanize her and yeah Im still on her side

I swear the Richards sisters have a friend that's in control of production bc this season is all about their redemption. Kyle is smelling like roses and the only reason Kim is getting so much focus and those stupid talking heads must be bc someone in editing loves her. 90% of her material should end up on the cutting room floor.

This has got to be one of the most boring vacations that has been featured on the franchise. What a yawnfest

Lisa doesn't make for an interesting to compelling villain, so pushing so hard to portray her as one this season has been part of why its fallen so flat. She's not a love to hate type of person like Camille or one that inspires such emotion like Faye or Adrienne. Them as the "bad guys" really drove story, but it just isn't there with Lisa so it shows how desperate the show is to try and make something work.

Its kind of uneasy watching Brandi with Yolanda. Brandi keeps whining about how Lisa replaced her with Kyle, but she's replaced Lisa with Yolanda. Watching those scenes made me fear for Yolanda. She better watch her back bc Brandi is super messy and will use her like she did Lisa and then backstab her when the time comes. It pays to have rich friends

Kimberly's father is f--king hot. Can you say DILF?

ETA: Taylor was on the show? Where was she?

Cat, you are giving me life today!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Must needed given the sad news my mother revealed to me. So *HUGS*.

I was feeling that I was the only one that watched the girls having fun. I have been looking forward to it from the trailer since these girls are always fighting. And now...I saw it and my mind went FAKE, FAKE, so frelling FAKE!!!

Nice to not be alone.

Him, Mauricio, and Carlton's husband could all get it...lol

Edited March 4, 201411 yr by Eric83

Yaasss! Especially Carlton's hubby. That man is fine. IDC what no one says.

Oh my at Kims ex....but all the Kim jokes aside I can see why she pulled that one. The Richards sisters look very well for their age IMO. Not as smooth as Yolanda perhaps in the skin but still not rough like Carlton.

As for Yolanda I talk about her because she's clearly on the show and has made her known with her attacks on Lisa. If not for that I wouldn't know what her storyline is or what she's doing aside from slaving away at the altar of David. Its clear that aside from battling Lyme disease, her lemons, and her daughters there's really not much going on there....

Meanwhile Lisa has her businesses and a whole host of other things to do....

Judging from the reruns they just aired of New York Season 1, what you just described of Yolanda would constitute as storyline. It's amazing how the focus changed. Season 1 of NYC was literally about their housewife lives, raising their children, handling their businesses, and various hobbies. And they showed the housewives going on outings with people who were their real friends, not "friends of" semi-castmembers or anything like that. Totally different show. The biggest rift was Ramona vs. Jill for a friendly tennis match, and one time Ramona didn't invite Jill to a party that was full of non-Housewives castmembers anyhow.

Kyle looks fantastic for her age, can't deny that. If she's had any type of minor work done, they did a flawless job.

Season 1 of NYC was a completely different show. The show began as a reality series called Manhatten Moms or something like that and got retroactively edited into being a RH show (similar to Miami season 1, which was initially Miami Social Club) before it went to air. Season 2 for both were the firsts produced as RH shows and the changes were quite apparent

Speaking of Kyle, she debuted a new talking head and she looks amazing in it

Edited March 5, 201411 yr by Cheap21

BH is supposed to be the most glamorous series but I swear when they do the establishing shots of Kim, Brandi, or Kyle's homes it's just sad sad sad.
