The old focus of the housewives series is most apparent in RHOC season 1 through 3, RHONYC season 1 through 2 (though season 2 had some craziness due to Kelly but not to the heights of season 3 and thereafter), and even RH of Atlanta season 1 was pretty tame compared to later seasons.

I liked that the latest episode of RH of Beverly Hills was more of a throwback to old school housewives with the showcasing of Kim, Yolanda, and Kyle in individual scenes. The only housewife that seems to be shown with friends that aren't housewives or official 'friends of' is Brandi.. but that is mostly due to the fact that her kids can't be shown though I did enjoy the photo shoot for her book cover.. shame her book editor isn't able to advise her on personal matters.

I actually like Kyle's house. It's not a grand mansion with its own zip code like Yolanda, Lisa, or Camille, but it's a good size, nicely landscaped, and a big backyard.

Kim's and especially Brandi's indeed look sad. What a contrast to the oppulence of season one.

I like Kyle's home too. It is large, it is a family home after all, and neat and airy. It's just not a palace like Lisa's or a luxury resort like Yolanda's. I'm ok with different type houses and styles of living on these shows. Like TayShanna had a comparatively modest home compared with Adrienne and Lisa, and that was fine. Brandi and Kim's condos depress me, for some reason. It's not so much the modest surroundings (though Kim has a nice deck and pool), it's that they feel like lonely, empty places. I don't expect these two to have manses, just the vibe I get off them is sad and anonymous-feeling.

Watching BH now....lol at how desperate Yolanda is to keep this train rolling on. This lady just loves stirring the sh*t.

The difference between her and Brandi and is that Brandi genuinely feels hurt and betrayed and it shows on her face. With Yolanda its nothing but pure calculation. She doesn't feel like Lisa has let her "in" and so now she's trying to pay her back by turning everyone against her.

I do feel for Kyle tho and I agree that she should get a direct clear apology for Lisa. Maurico also has a right to be upset but his beef should be with Ken and settled privately.

I think Kim's talking heads are veering back into loony territory. Disappointed she turned into such a child with Ken and couldn't even send the text apologizing nor did she express remorse that they left.

I don't blame Lisa and Ken for leaving but they should have contacted Joyce before they left....

EDIT: Yolanda claims that Mohammed couldn't come to New York to move in one of his daughters into college? What a fiasco of a lie. What man and father wouldn't want to be present for that event?

RHOBH

Ultimately, it was another ugly episode.

Joyce was right that Ken and Lisa should have said goodbye to her. Reading her blog is interesting because now she sees why they bolted and says she would have done the same.

Brandi was relatively sidelined this episode aside from giving her parents a car which was rather nice of her.

Yolanda and "Hello My Looooove" (aka King David) just hit this false note. Something's off. Gigi has an amazing apartment. What a howler that Yolanda was on the phone with Brandi sniping away about Lisa even while in NYC, she couldn't help herself.

Now we know why Kim's daughter Kimberley (am I the only one who finds that truly bizarre that they have the same name?) is good looking. Her ex is a handsome man who seemed relatively down to earth.

Carlton scored points, she's been scoring them in my book since Kyle's Anti Semitic Dinner. Notice she didn't see the magazines Brandi spoke of.

Kyle, oh Kyle, the perpetual victim. The realtor's wife in the spacious house in that part of Bel-Air that's a lot closer to Sherman Oaks than it is to Beverly Hills.

Lisa repaired and renewed this episode. Is this the first time we've seen tears from her? Might be. Certainly the first we've seen the ugly cry. I really hope the previews for next week are on target and that Lisa comes out guns blazing and takes no prisoners.

It definitely seems that way in the previews I saw, DaytimeFan. Her look. The inflections in her tone when she said to Kyle that this is done.

Sounds like she will come out swinging...and looking fab doing it cuz that white dress with her form was to die for.

Lydia so reminds me of Christina from Vancouver except she has successfully dug her gold and has a ring to prove it. She was so messy to go back and tell Jackie what Gina said. Gina did say that stuff but she didn't tell everything.

Visually, Chyka reminds me of Jeanna Keough

Oh Gina. Her "partner" lives in FL, while she's in Australia and she doesn't believe he's cheated?

tumblr_n1tftvVyv21qg5ea1o1_500.gif

LOL...this bitch says the craziest things

Jackie and Gina are heading for a huge blowup this season if their coffee date is a preview of things to come. I can feel it. LOL at Gina calling her psychic abilities demonic. She's a lawyer and has a sharp tongue and knows how to be a bitch. "Poor Jackie. What is she gonna do? There's no battle; I've already won" LOVE Gina! "When I cross-examine, I usually stop when they cry" "Im a barrister; I don't deal in bulls--t; I deal in fact" So many great lines

OMG and in the preview, they are going to go at it again next week but drag Lydia's messy ass into it for her talking

Cheap I LOVE those GIFs! Melbourne is giving me everything I need after this boring season of Beverly Hills. I'm going to be in heaven with NYC, Melbourne and the neverending ATL saga. Jackie is an ABSOLUTE NUT! I love her! I do agree that Chyka reminds you of Jeana, but she is so much classier than Jeana was. I LOVE her. I also am in love with Lydia who is so beautiful, but naughty and knows how to stir the pot.

I wonder what kind of reunion host they'll have. Vancouver did a good job of recasting Andy for theirs.

    • Well, I am glad to know that & for it to make sense, so thanks for the info &  the perspective, also. At the end of AMC 1.0, I thought the new young talent was really quite good, but I missed Eden & NuBianca just ... well, I wasn't 100% sold on her & Bianca was so important to me. But then, Tad & Dixie were also important & yep, there's another problem, for me I mean. I'm not your typical AMC fan but I hung in there anyway. I know what you mean because it wasn't as good as it once had been but it was still Agnes's show in Pine Valley. Some of that is a bittersweet nostalgic clinging to the past, I guess. By that time I'd been through so many show cancellations. AW, Santa Barbara, PC, The City, GL, ATWT.

          Betsy Snyder, when she was at DAYS was part of the WGA winning writing team before she died, tragically far too young.  
    • Yep Edmund and Tad went under cover to infiltrate the... Willow Lake (I think?) old folks community scandal that was exploiting Phoebe, etc.  (Which at one point led to Edmund rescuing Brooke from quicksand--common around Pine Valley I guess

      ) EDIT maybe I'm wrong.  I found the quicksand scene

      But for the story all I can find is Edmund going undercover as the gigolo "preying" on older women, Eduardo (no one would recognize him with that disguise and name ) so the drag must have been.. a different story?    
    • But then he HATES the original Heather Webber (Cher's half sister played her, right?) and we know what happened when Robin would step into the role a year after this.  He does seem pretty spot on about actors who show promise otherwise.  It's interesting he knocks OLTL early on (though I loved all the recently released episodes from this era we got) but does give a lot of credit to the actress playing Cathy despite earlier complaining about her story.  And over all, while quite negative, his various pros and cons on the shows sounds about right with what I know of the shows at this time. This was a July dated issue of the magazine but and I know they date mags a month or two in advance--obviously when he wrote this he didn't know Lovers and Friends was gonna go off the air (in May I think).
    • You know one of the soap outlets posed that question just last week: Who do you want Trina with Spencer or Kai? And, of course, the picture of Spencer was NAC. I said, well, a lot. I chose Kai. I said that Spencer had been an entitled brat & that some people valued him over her, when I valued her above all others. I guess we'll see.
    • You're right. The only thing I can think of is if GH finally decides to bring back Spencer.
    • Sharon Rose Gabet told me on Facebook that she calls this "Baby Raven".
    • I imagine the storyline would now segue into Laura's accident. But I hope they manage to keep Leslie around though. I really don't want her to be written out, or get the DOOL treatment where she just pops up every so often to cause some short term trouble; the character and the actor were such a find.
