See, I may not care for Danielle, but the obvious editing her out of the season has made it choppy. I feel it would've been a longer season and easier to understand had they left her stuff in.

Totally agree. It makes NO sense that "Lizzie's friend" was invited to go on the trip. Especially when it was set up that Tamra and Heather were the ones that planned it.

I have to roll my eyes at Danielle's petty concern over Vicki calling her dumb. No story.

NYC: Andy could've let up on Ramona. She wasn't going to elaborate. She gave her canned answer repeatedly and he kept pressing and getting uglier about it. He should've let up earlier.

Ramona is wrong about Heather's hubby. He's quite cute. He's just a shorty compared to his wife. Maybe he simply needs to walk into the room before her so she doesn't overshadow him (season 5 reference)

LuAnn is really letting her balls swing and I love it! Get yer apple back, girl!

Once again, LuAnn was accidentally back in the apple lineup after the preview for next week's eppy. This whole season has been sloppy, with that and then the disappearing/reappearing Aviva.

RHONY Note: The second part reunion was the highest rated episode of the season. I think Bravo has handled things well by ignoring the press of bad ratings and continuing the hype the season until the very end. Giving them a 3 part reunion also makes it look like a bigger success. I think they can bounce back next year if they don't want too long to bring the show back.

LuAnn sure was a bitch though as she went for the jugular kicking her while she was down. Granted Ramona did that to her, but she knows how it felt and was just waiting to get back at her. Doesn't make LuAnn look good bc she came across ugly here. Andy was so messy bringing up that viewer question later instead of handling everything in that segment

Oh I can't agree. Ramona has done this REPEATEDLY and even brought her kid into it by re-tweeting Victoria's YouTube video. THAT is low, bringing LuAnn's child into it. Ramona is my favorite, but she got exactly what she deserved. I wish LuAnn had gone Nene/Phaedra on her ass and eviscerated her with details of the pregnancy and abortion. All Ramona had to do is say that had a rough patch, but have worked through it and the ladies have been supportive. Done. Nothing else needed to be said. By dodging the question she made it the entire focus of most of the episode.

I don't disagree bc as LuAnn said, karma is a bitch, but I still felt sympathy for her. She was being kicked while she was down and yeah she's done it in the past but that doesn't make it hurt any less

I don't think saying they went through a rough patch would have ended it. That wouldn't have been any different than what she did say, which was nothing. Andy wanted details and LuAnn would have went in on her regardless.

LuAnn really didnt do anything bad. She just said it's hard when a spouse cheats and confirmed that what Mario did happened. Ramona was doing the most and made it a bigger deal than it was. LuAnn better than me because I would have spilled all the tea with no [!@#$%^&*] given.

Rumour has it season 2 of Real Housewives of Melbourne is filming soon.. Guess who might not be back...

http://www.2dayfm.com.au/scoopla/screen/tv/2014/8/who-is-not-returning-to-real-housewives/

Claudia Jordan rumored to be joining Atlanta. She is good friends with Kenya and recently said on social media that she is hanging around Atlanta for the next year.

She posted on Facebook about a guy begging her to go on a date with him because he heard she's shooting some scenes next week and wants to be on TV.

YES!!!

For once the absolutely vile bitch of the show couldn't take the heat of the whole world seeing what a piece of sh*t she is and isn't returning. Melbourne learned from Vancouver, having that pig Jody Claman stay on made the show toxic.

Way to go Melbourne! Bring on another amazing season!

I thought that was Layla Ali! LOL

Andy should have gone easier on the trashpot? What even?!

Her sham marriage fell apart and they made sure to wait til after filming to file for divorce, his mistress and both of them make it a big tabloid story, then she gets back to get her with him before the reunion so she doesn't have to talk about it. Andy should have gone in harder on her and I am so glad Luann's stepped in and called her out. The trash would be delighted if this were anyone else and giving her opinion, advice and rubbing her perfect marriage in their face. Karma is a bitch and the trash got what she deserved and her attempt to make it seem like her and Mario are happy and in love was absolutely pathetic and ridiculous.

Glad Andrea isn't returning on Melbourne. I liked Claudia Jordan on Celebrity Apprentice, but I'm not sure how I feel about her on Atlanta Housewives. When you have someone like Marlo in the sidelines who is already developing a friendship with Kenya, I can't understand why they aren't going with her. I'll never be satisfied until she's a housewife.

RHOC:

So good tonight. I'm glad that both Vicki and Heather called Tamra out about her inconsistencies. And I don't believe that Lizzie said she could eff Eddie, like Tamra said at the end of the episode. Tamra has always been a notorious liar throughout the years, but tonight just solidified it. I am so glad that Lizzie and Shannon (the newbies) are on the same page and coming for Trashra next week. Oh next week is going to be so good! Bravo needs to do whatever they can to keep this cast and bring back Laurie and Gretchen. Those seven together would create an EPIC 10th season.

I just watched. I believe Tamra. The alternative would be Eddie saying he would f-ck Heather and I dont see him saying that. Lizzie is not an innocent wall flower. She lied about texting Tamra and was clearly playinf this up for the cameras and air time. Now that she fell out with Tamra she's spilling to Shannon but said NOTHING before.

When Lizzie told her husband to get a boner once in a while in the flashback is when I stopped buying what Lizzie is selling. She might be a nice girl overall but she isnt above being mean and nasty. I do think she told Trashy she waa mad because Eddie wants to f-ck.

With that said next week looks good!

Vicki is so uncouth and classless btw. Ol ignorant heifer!

ETA: Tamra is insecure. Saggy, wrinkly, horrible personality. I cant wait until Eddie leaves her for a man.

Buddy, for that statement alone....

Trashra was straight lying. She's notorious for that. And Lizzie has never been that close to Tamra. Danielle was. Not Lizzie. Lizzie has always been onto Tamra's antics since e-mail-gate about Shannon's marriage. She didn't say anything because Lizzie was sitting back, waiting for the right moment to have a reason to pounce. Tamra lying about going to Lizzie's b-day party, Vicki warning Lizzie about Tamra, and Tamra bashing Lizzie to Heather and Vicki provided that.

And Lizzie was drunk and hurt when she lashed at Christian. I don't think he took it too serious. And I don't picture Lizzie bragging to Trailer Sue that Eddie wants to poke her. I just don't. Tamra, yes. Lizzie, no. And everyone knows that Eddie wants to poke Danielle's husband if anything....

Amber writes, Can you believe that just happened? Its amazing that even though this episode was filmed months ago, I still have so much anger in me to this day. I feel betrayed by both Melissa and the twins. Lets begin with Melissa. I am going to clarify some points about the scene driving in the car to the dessert party. Melissa asked me about the reasons for Nicoles divorce. I have never had a discussion with Nicole about those reasons, I only told Melissa what was I told. A close member of the family shared the story about Nicole and how her affair hurt them, and I had no reason to doubt the veracity of the statement. However, I was still very evasive when telling Melissa. I clearly stated that I heard it through the grapevine. At this point, I NEVER accused Nicole of being a home wrecker, because I never heard Nicoles side of it. Last I checked that damn grapevine is not gospel, Nicole could have easily dispelled talks of this rumor. Sadly, we all now know that Nicole took the route of behaving like a barbarian instead. Melissas betrayal is so hard to stomach because she had a chance to be there for me now. We both decided that we were going to start anew on our relationship. Melissas contention that I put her in a bad spot, honestly, Melissa, I am calling your bullsh out! There was no good in that. You never said to me that you thought it was not right that I said that. If your conscience was bothering you so much, you could have come to me and we could have approached Nicole to give her the opportunity to confront who was actually saying this about her. Instead, you just took an opportunity to twist my words and stick it to me. Melissa knew how mad her little minions were at me, so much that they ran off in clothes they just tried on and came to my home. In fact, she had an entire week to give me the heads up. Tsk, tsk, Melissa. Well, Melissa, I am quick study to your games of manipulation. Game on, girl. Sad since we could have had one anothers back. We have a lot in common and share the same family values. Your loss. Before I go on to the ambush, I mean, first responders party, I just want to point out how unbelievably stupid the twins, AKA the evil minions, looked coming to my home and confronting me! Thats my home, my personal space. I should have put them in time out for that stunt. And the fact that they had second thoughts because of the kids is even more hysterical. I mean, come on! Where did they think my kids would be? I dont send them to the bars drinking on a school night. They look like complete jackasses. Moving on to the ambush. So lets cut this down to size, the twins thought it was better to ambush me at a party in front of people instead of calling me to sit down with me prior to ask me what I heard. They let it fester for a week and thought confronting me at a party was the way go. Ugh I just cant stand the stupidity! Nicole claims we were such close friends, yet this is how she handles it. Honestly, its like watching dumb and dumber. Furthermore, I calmly asked twice what the deal was and neither one of them could articulate an answer, they instead just kept on barking like little Chihuahuas. I had absolutely no clue what the deal was. Even Melissa was asking them why they were taking it to such negative place right off the bat, in addition to saying that I was calling her a ho! The little evil minions thought they were going to bully me in front of everyone. Well, I will not be bullied, I will always stand my ground, and as Jack says: You fed with wrong Marine! They escalated the situation and I defended myself. But violence is not the answer, EVER. Nicole may have been upset, but she could have handled that with dignity and class. I will remind everyone that shes over 45 years old and a mother! Simple math that is less than only 5 years from 50! She should know better and be a better example to her children. I understand it looked ridiculous, but I am saying to everyone out there, dont laugh at bullying. If you see someone getting bullied, it is never cool and there is nothing funny about it. Do something about it. Either go get help or stick up for whom is being attacked. I do thank Melissa for sticking up for me at the time, it makes me wonder if she truly she did not know how depraved the minions behave. Now lets go on to my husband and his best friend Bobby. I hope you all heard Bobby say, Weve been gone for ten seconds, this happened already? Bobby knew it was a set up for both me and my husband, and his pretending that he wanted to stay out of it is bullsh. He set us up so he could be a big shot in front of his new friends. As for my husbands reaction, he just broke up a fight, watched his wife get her REAL HAIR pulled out. Hair that she has been growing since she was bald from chemo! He goes upstairs to get out of there and Joe and Rino thought this was the best time to confront him about not going to bowling? They flanked him and started waiving their hands in his face. Jim kept his cool as much as possible, but once you get my husband to that point, watch out! My husband is more than capable of defending himself, and he is highly intelligent. As far as why my husband was even in that position, that was thanks to Bobby and Rino, who set him up. Furthermore, Joe Gorgas actions and behavior proved Jims concerns about him correct! Please remember, Jim never even met these people. He only knew what I told him, but at the end of the day, Jim has a right to hang out with whom he would like to. Its a free country, maybe Joe needs to stop being such an egomaniac and hot head. Is Joe serious, how does Jim sleep at night? Didnt he call his sister a scumbag and fight with his brother-in-law? It is no wonder Jim did not want to drink with this guy. I know this particular blog definitely has a lot of anger, and thats because I have a lot of anger when thinking of this episode. I drank plenty of Patron and had a lot of my friends around to get through it. I would like to thank my supporters, they mean the world to me. Raquelita (@lovinlifebliss), my new friends that quickly became a part of my family, Steven, Brian, and Michael, plus so many more. I promise you I let a lot of anger go and try to move on, I just wanted to bring you along on my journey and let you know how I felt at the time even though it happened a while ago. I also watched WWHL and the twins were, yet again, rewriting history and making me out to be the aggressor. There is no question Nicole started it and I defended myself, then Te-REESA took it further and threw a drink in my face. Did everyone catch Te-REESA smiling as she put the drink to her mouth watching her sister come at me? I did. Typical. I was planning on having a good night that night, they were planning on making a scene.

Amber <3

Oh my Lord. I'm not gonna read all that. I don't even like her much. What's the Cliff's Notes version?
