Raquel is probably more cunning than we ever thought, but I do think she is hilariously stupid.  She misspeaks as much as RHoNY’s Ramona lolol.

I agree about Tom & Arianna.  In the beginning, I wasn’t rooting for them as much I was rooting against Kristen (though she is an absolute treasure for this show lol).  But somewhere along the way, I accepted that they seemed to settle into what felt like a very practical commitment (I always wondered if it was, in fact, an open relationship).

Arianna’s vibe was always off for the show, but I guess I delighted in how crazy she made Kristen, Stassi, and Katie… I guess this is the kind of guilty pleasure show that I used to love in its heyday, but I pretty much always thought the cast were horrible, unlikeable people.  Arianna made everyone sweat, which I appreciated.

LaLa brings the fire but she's as much of a trash person as Jax and James.  lolol about being with James being one hell of a sacrifice 🤣🤣🤣

I find it fascinating Raquel has a good degree because she does use the wrong words and phrases all the time lol.   But so does most the cast.  Stassi was the most well spoken IMO.  Everyone can and should hate Raquel, but she's putting in the work which I don't think a lot of the cast does anymore.  I like the OG cast, but they are absolutely going to be in different places in their lives and making fun of drunk Raquel did seem mean when we have seen these people make drunk assholes out of themselves for over a decade.

I think Kristen being a drunk, psycho mess threw the heat off a situation with Tom/Ariana that she wasn't wrong about, but she's getting her redemption by filming again.  Ariana will be much better off and I think at the end of the day the Toms should just marry each other lol.

I’m so glad Kristen filmed during the pickups.  She was a true psycho and the fallout of Jax/Kristen in s3 was the show at its absolute best… but even though she was truly out of her mind and drunk (& probably high) all the time and chose to rebound with JAMES, I always felt sorry for her… she was humiliated by Tom & Arianna and she was held accountable by Stassi and Katie (and everyone else + the audience) in ways that Jax NEVER was.

Seeing her support Arianna will be surreal but probably one of the more poignant full-circle moments on Bravo.

I thought Jax and Brittany were fired along with the rest but I heard that they left on their own. Is there a reason why they didnt make any appearances?

Sorry, I've been busy and meant to piggyback around...but nope. Fired with the rest. It wasn't until the pandemic that I stopped watching VPR so I was still keeping up in real time when Jax was losing his s#$% on Twitter even more than Ex Soap Opera Star on BH and finally Bravo had no choice but to get rid of him. Like Ex Soap Opera Star, Jax spun the story that he was leaving to save face.

Charlie disappears without a word

is there a reason why Brock kinda disappeared. He is no longer main cast after being heavily involved and now seems to be more of a background character

She had potential if Jax was still around  because they would have totally been feuding after that Season 8 reunion.

 

From what I remember in real time with Brock, the fact that he and Lala were so publicly feuding online and so much came out during the airing of Season 9 that did not put him in a favorable light, that he is not main by choice now. 

 

But tbf, Season 9 was to have a bunch of newbies from TomTom, Pump, Sur...I even have a video waaaay back on this thread of Sandoval getting one of the new hottie twerking in cowboy gear...but they edited them all out from what I heard. 

 

I've begun my binge of Season 9 and only on Episode 3, but it does feel refreshed given the wasted potential of Season 8. 

 

 

 

OOPS!!!!!!!!!

Hehe. You are going to make me call her out by name when I have dragged her every season right up until Kathy Hilton took her out.  That's almost as bad as thinking I am going to say Teddi Kyle's Shadow's name.

 

Lisa Rinna. BH. 

LORD...

 

 

AND...

 

This season has been some of the most incredible reality tv, even without Scandoval. Tonight's episode featuring Scheana in height pettiness and Schwartz/Katie's fiasco of a dinner was a spectacle to behold.

The reunion feels like it's boiling over. 

I can't wait to make it through Season 9...which has been surprisingly good so far...to see the full spectacle. 

Raquel! When she showed up at Katie's room, I thought she was there to make amends. Nope! I cant believe she relayed Scheanna's shady message. That was so savage of her and she had me dying. Im loving new bitch Raquel

 

"Im more attracted to Schwartz than I am in maintaining a friendship with Katie" LOL!

 

S9, E6

 

OMG!!!! Not OriginalMiguel from PASSIONS!!! WOOOOOOOOooowwwwwww

 

James Kennedy clearly indulged in some downhill skiing before walking onstage, but my God, is he entertaining.
