I wish Karen so well. I hope her time behind bars has humbled her and given her the time to get sober and confront the issues at the root of her drinking.

I also hope Bravo has cameras up and ready in Potomac for her arrival home. 

Oh you know they will. Next season hasnt been edited yet and they can put lil bits of Karen via conversations with Ray and Gizelle and the other ladies throughout leading up to her return in the finale

Re: Karen - WOW!  Good for her, she must have been a model prisoner for sure, happy to see it. I read they're still filming this season, so I bet they try and get her in. I just wonder if she's mentally ready for that right out of the gate, or if she's truly changed and wants to focus first on family and then reconsider joining the next season.

I’m super curious what Karen we get.

Heck, they might do an old school RHOA (or some of the recent seasons of some shows) and bring the cameras right back up to make sure Karen at least pops up in the midseason trailer. Watch. 

 

ETA: Speaking of POTOMAC, apparently Keiarna and Wendy fell out.

I watched the first two episodes today and I was delighted with the show. It gives strong Melbourne energy and that's a major compliment. I've often found that the very top tier of the RH universe is the international editions, unburdened by Bravo. This show is no different in that regard. The production values were so good. They invested real money in making London shine and these women, for the most part, have the bucks to back it all up.

The moment Karen Loderick-Peace mentioned, with total reverence, that Joan Collins lives around the block from her...it was love. 

I concur 100% with @Cat's assessment of the show and the cast. I certainly know Groom Place well and Caroline and Karen are definitely living in the best postcode in Great Britain. I think Caroline is softer than she appears on first glance, especially in the scene with her stepdaughter. Karen is fabulous and open minded. 

I think Panthea has the potential to be really grating, really quickly. The crack about her peaking in the 2000s rang very true. As well as the remark about her living in Mill Hill...while her quiet obsession with wanting to emulate where the Royal Family sent Princes William and Harry to boarding school (Eton) is so tacky. Her mother seemed like a nightmare. That she was bringing up an issue with Juliet M from 6 years, pre-Covid...yikes.

Agreed about Juliet M and Nessie. Early days but both seem pleasant.

Juliet A will be the tacky bull in a china shop that she always is. But I think Caroline will destroy her without breaking a sweat.

That's what it was reminding me of!! Melbourne. Such high praise. And I agree with you about the international housewives. There was one link I posted a while back from one of the international shows. I didn't understand a thing they said, but they were GIVING. Looks. Inflections. Visuals. Taglines (that I couldn't understand, but subtitles matched with how it was said). It was stunning. I don't think there has been any international shows that I've had time to see that doesn't dazzle. Especially in fashion during promotion. 

 

As soon as she said that re: Dame Joan. I knew I had to tag you to watch.  

 

I knew you and @Cat would have the 411. It makes me so much more excited at the authenticity of it all. I didn't get to do all of Episode 1...and it seems haters are being sure no Episode 2 links are not active...so will keep watching when I can.

 

 

Jen Shah's date got pushed up to and she's out in a year!

Wow! I haven't decided yet if I want her back on SLC or not.

Her crimes should not be rewarded with a job on tv. If/when SLC brings her back, I will have to drop the show. My own grandmother was a victim of those scams her people were doing.

Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that   I agree, I hate the idea of rewarding her. Plus the show has been so much better without her anyway.

That's how I feel. Her crimes have many real victims who will never recover from what she did to them. SLC has thrived without her. I think it would hurt the show a great deal if she returned.

SLC has a new lease of life without that malevolent thug. I would stop watching if she returned.

It’s not even just her being a bad person. She was exhausting to even watch. 

Salt Lake City had a strong season 4 with Monica vs Lisa, and a strong season 5 with Brauwyn making a splash... so no need for that psychopath Jen Shah to come back.

Both she and Teresa should never have been allowed back on the Housewives show (and I still think Tamra shouldn't have come back after season 4 and Naked Wasted).

Teresa had a completely victimless crime, why wouldn’t she come back.
