Nene tries too hard to look like a young white woman. A lot of her current wigs and makeup just don't match her skin tone. She's too dark for the platinum look and the longer wigs just exaggerate just how awful it looks on her. A darker shade looks much better with her face and figure.

That's a good point you bring up. Do you think that there is some self-loathing going on with her? I personally know girls that do the same thing and have the same issue.

Adrienne will be back for sure...the Lisa rinna/Kim confrontation happens at adriennes gathering.

Camille was.shown filming a lot.

Taylor is only.back as a guest for occasional.visits.

I'm.liking the fun vibe.without any contrived fights. .I dread the upcoming toxic.vibe. as long as the show.keeps things balanced...I'm all good.

Eileen and hubby bickering in episode 4 preview ....shades of Paul/Adrienne?

Okay, I do still wanna see Sharon drag Joyce, as morbid as that sounds.

Same.

Kyle and Brandi are on the outs:

http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/kyle-richards-on-castmate-brandi-glanville-i-dont-ever-see-us-being-2014312

Cliff Notes:

- Kyle basically says that Brandi does something during shooting this season that put an end to their newfound friendship.

- Kyle says what Brandi did is something she's done to others and she knew it would eventually happen to her as well.

- Kyle in so many words says that it's done for with her and Brandi.

Damn, Blandi. I see this being a rough reunion for her. Lisa AND Kyle on her ass. And we've yet to factor in Lips, Eileen, and Yolanda but from the trailer, one can tell that Eileen/Lips won't care for Brandi either. Brandi is going to get piled up on and I am going to LOVE it. Hopefully, this is her last season on RHOBH. She has single handedly killed this show.

She needs to exit stage left but she won't unfortunately. Unless it's just absolutely ridiculous...and I'm talking Jill Zarin/Crazy Kelly Bensimon level of insanity Brandi will be holding that diamond come next season.

I feel bad for Todd but his mom's death shouldn't result in Bravo editing her scenes out...I mean that's the reality of what happened. If that's what Todd wants tho then sure they should respect his wishes. However I do want to see this mess.

Yolanda will still defend Brandi cuz she's bitter like those lemons she grows. Mad that she burned bridges with Lisa and has reduced their friendship to "air kisses and bullshit" as Queen Lisa said.

Looking back at all the housewives from all the franchises and I have to say Brandi turning on Lisa ranks up there as one of the dumbest decision that any has made. She really thought she was bringing her down. Ha!

Brandi ain't going NOWHERE. This season from everybody's accounts is going to be epic and they have finally gotten a cast that works. Lisa Rinna has been a huge hit, ratings are UP before anything has even happened and while the jury is out on Eileen, the fact that she's heavily feuding with Brandi and the cast is siding with her speaks volumes. I can't wait til things kick off.

ETA:

Here are the episode descriptions for the next two episodes of RHOBH:

Episode 4 - Livin La Vida Housewife:

The two Lisas bond as Vanderpump invites Rinna to watch her receive a plaque on the Palm Springs Walk of Stars. Before jetting off for a family trip to Spain, Kyle fears that her coughing sister Kim will make her ill. But all is heavenly when Kyle arrives in Mallorca and settles into her 100-foot-long private yacht. Yolanda joins Kyle for fun in the water and sightseeing in the gorgeous town. But the perfect vacation is ruined when Yolanda gets a phone call with horrible news about her daughter Bella.

Episode 5 - Star Sighting: Kyle returns early from Spain to attend Kim's daughter's wedding. Eileen reprises her soap opera role on the "The Young and The Restless."

Soap fans are going to go crazy for episode 5!

RHOA Episode 5 description -

Claudia gets settled into her new life in Atlanta with Kenya's help and also begins to open up about her troubled family history. Meanwhile, Kandi makes plans to put her old house on the market but is shocked once she and Todd uncover its alarming condition. Cynthia'sfrustration concerning her defunct friendship with NeNe hits a peak, causing her to vent to her mom and sister. Hoping to get all the women to move past their issues, Kandi organizes a dinner so they can all hash out their differences, but Phaedra and Kenya get into it yet again when it comes to Apollo’s infamous lies. Plus, NeNe and Cynthia come face to face for the first time in months, which leads to a rollercoaster of emotions.

What do you think number one is Cheap if you don't mind my asking?

I think Jill turning on Bethenny takes the cake....but that's probably the most obvious one.

I havent really thought about it but yeah thats a good one especially since that was so calculated on Jill's part. She really did not think the audience would turn on her and thought she was going to be getting tons of sympathy that season. It truly was her downfall

Nothing tops Jill turning on Bethenny and what that did to the New York franchise as a whole. That completely ruined things for them and they still haven't completely recovered. Yolanda, Kyle and Brandi were smart because they knew they messed up and while things aren't perfect now, they're clearly trying to get in Lisa's good graces. They want their check.

But of those three, Lisa only genuinely cares for Kyle. She only tolerates YoLyme, but with Brandi, Lisa has been vocal that she does not give a flying f*ck about her. If these women were real petty, they could pull a Jill Z and refuse to film with Brandi. That would edge her off the show altogether.

The sad thing though is that while Lisa did have a genuine friendship with Kyle and cared for her I think it's plainly obvious she felt a very special deeper connection with Brandi despite the very short time they got to know each other.

I think if not for her past with Kyle and all things being equal there are some crazy things Lisa would forgive Brandi for but NOT Kyle.

Loved Kathy reading the rights to Kim's daughter Brooke on that terrible dress....the first one that is. That is not classy wedding in a church material.

WOW. All that dirt.

Well, I hope to see RHoM again.

Well, as much as I love my boo Vix, I thought it was known that Nene's fashion sense was stepped up when she befriend Marlo who is a fashionata. So is it surprising that with their falling out that her fashion sense also went own notches?

Eileen is love.

Brandi posted a really great, well-thought out blog this week:

The show begins with Lisa Rinna’s birthday party. I watched the show and having not even yet met Lisa R. at this point, I can honestly say I can't believe she is as old as she says. Lisa looks amazing for the second worst F-word in my book, Fifty (the first is Forty). Harry and Lisa R. seem to be genuinely in love and happy, and we also both think porn can be fun at times. Ha! It's nice watching Lisa R. and Yolanda being mothers. These beautiful, strong women are raising other beautiful, soon-to-be strong women.

I have a house filled with boys and can't imagine what it would be like to raise girls. Watching Yolanda with Bella, I feel I have a special connection with her, because like her, I too am a middle child with an older sister and a younger brother. We are not the firstborns, and we are not the babies. I feel, much like her, I am a bit of a rebel and don't like it when people try and tell me what to do. I’m sure Bella will find her fair share of trouble as she grows into a strong woman, but I also know she will come out on top in the end, because us middle children are built tough.

I see that Kyle’s family is gearing up for another vacation! Wow! I feel like they just got back from Tahoe, which must have been rigorous! Alas, this time they won't be taking a private plane as they have decided to get a private yacht! It’s hard raising kids in this town of entitlement, something I know firsthand, but as I always say, no one is allowed to say anything bad about my kids except for me and their father! So I will hold my tongue on how anyone else is raising their own children.

We also see very serious scenes with Kim and Yolanda dealing with serious illness. It is very touching watching then talk about how much they love and care for their families. First, Yolanda’s mother in Holland and then Kim taking in her ex-husband Monty. I applaud them both. Two very strong, fierce women taking care of loved ones in need.

Cut to my house where I’m having fun trying to decorate with my very good friend Adrienne. We have been friends for decades, and she always has my back. We were interrupted with a call from my attorney. I am really trying to find peace and happiness in my life, even when it comes to my ex husband. It’s been five long years since we split, and I would really like the fighting to just stop. Eddie decided after my second best-selling book Drinking and Dating was released, that he had overpaid me in child support and alimony over the past five years and would like to be reimbursed for the back payments--already spent on rent, food, and clothing to raise our children. Since I didn't have the cash lying around, he was happy to take it from my tiny retirement fund, a small $114k. I had no choice but to hire a lawyer to fight for my retirement. Although I’m not going to just roll over and let him take my retirement account, I’m also bummed that this fighting continues. One thousand a month in L.A. is kinda sad for a guy who can earn $300k a year only working part time. So, now you know.

Eileen is new to the group of women and knows Lisa R., whom I still at this time have not yet met. I see that Eileen won an Emmy for the soap that she was on, and I actually watched her on Days of Our Lives growing up and always “loved to hate her,” for breaking up Roman and Marlana. She said in her interviews she really liked attention, but then she also really didn't like attention. I’m confused. After all, she did join Housewives, a cult pop culture series that gets a lot of attention. Maybe she is confused or, much like the character she plays, has an evil twin somewhere with a more outgoing personality. Or maybe she was being a smartass like me.

I hadn't really stayed in touch with anyone from this group while I was away in NYC filming Celebrity Apprentice, other then Yolanda and Carlton, both of whom were very helpful to me during that time. Celebrity Apprentice, by the way, was fabulous, exhausting, a full-time job, and all-consuming. Sorry, friends. I’ll make it up to you!

While hiking with Kyle, she gave me the extra needed support to call Lisa V. The first call since the reunion, the reunion where she said she would forgive me. We all just want to get along. So I took a breath and decided to call Lisa V. and just go for it and ask her about coming to my housewarming party. During the call, my cell battery went completely dead, right in the middle of an important part of our conversation. I quickly asked Kyle if I could borrow her phone to call Lisa V. back, because I didn't want Lisa V. to think I hung up on her. It was not a good time for my phone to die. I knew full well that Kyle's number would come up, which is irrelevant. I had nothing to hide. There was nothing devious at all. I was trying to make peace. It’s pretty normal to call someone back ASAP after a phone call is disconnected during a tense call. Sorry.

It’s hard and frustrating to watch Lisa V. still playing the victim as though she never did a thing wrong. We were both hurt. Me from her actions, her from my reactions to her actions. I would like to move on, like Kyle and Lisa V. did. The past is the past, but while I ‘ve put it behind me, it did happen.

Let's sum this up, once and for all and then let it rest. I loved Todd and Lisa V. They were very important to me. Lisa asked me to have a sit down with the woman who was my husband’s mistress for three years, throughout my entire second pregnancy! This woman announced the affair on national TV, not to me, not to confess, not to apologize, but on Access Hollywood, for fame. That’s how I found out my old life had ended. So, with great reluctance for my new “good” friend, Lisa V., I threw myself on my sword and did it. It was hard. It was the first scene on Vanderpump Rules, the crossover. It was a onetime favor. Or it was supposed to be. You’ve all seen Lisa V. throwing that beautiful catered engagement party for that mistress at her house. Treating the mistress like family. It happened a lot. A lot.

So, here’s my take or example or whatever: Do you think any of Princess Diana’s really “good” friends ever threw catered engagement parties at their big houses for Camilla Parker-Bowles?
