I agree with you. Somehow I don't believe that the young worker would close up shop in order to help Bleona. Unless it was totally staged, of course. I mean it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out how to use a "noozle". Especially considering how well Bleona knows the English language (when compared to others on the show). That and she's been in America since 2009. Fawni (sp?) and another cast member (can't recall who) said Isabelle has a lot of influence in the music industry because her husband is Swedish House Mafia. I didn't think Swedish House Mafia was so hugely successful. I could be mistaken though.

Thank you! Good to know I'm not the only one bothered by that. RBF not BRF! I did notice that all the women's hair looked much better at the reunion. I think the dry, straw-like hair was in fact due to their surroundings. Jennice is better off without Kelley. I'd be super pissed if an ex liked and favorited tweets, instagrams pics, etc that insulted me. And I totally believe Kelley did this based on the crew members reactions and his douchey behavior. Amy obviously blew Jennice's comments way out of proportion. Amy might look and act innocent but I'm not buying it.

I believe it starts tonight. I'm looking forward to watching it for the first time. There were a lot of commercials during yesterday's Top Chef season 5 reruns on Esquire channel. I never bothered watching this or Masterchef because I assumed the chefs were not up to par with Top Chef contestants (that's not saying much anymore). But seeing children compete is impressive enough as it is.

I hope Kenya whoops Brandi's ass!

My guess is that their ad agency or team is too young to remember. I can't recall any scandals involving Rob Lowe but I'll take your word for it.

A post above mentioned Tom S. (Katie's BF) working at Sur. From what I recall of Katie and Lisa's chat, Tom S. was hired to work at Pump. It looks like he's playing a bigger role this season which is awesome! The clip of what's happening this season showed Katie accusing Tom S. of cheating but not the context of their conversation. Perhaps it will never be shown at all knowing the Bravo editing monkeys. Tom S. was a favorite, if not the favorite of mine last season. He came across to me as the "younger" voice of reason. I agree that Ariana's braids do her no favors. That said, I see it as part of her personality. She doesn't seem too concerned about what others think and that's why I like her. It was interesting to hear Scheana say "you know how well FI Tom lies" or something to that affect. I personally think the Ariana and Tom romance is strictly producer driven. On WWHL, Scheana said she picks a side between Ariana and Kristen by the end of the season. Since her and Kristen looked friendly on WWHL, I'm not sure she sided with her BF, Ariana. Stassi's wardrobe choices and hair color make her look older, in my opinion. Maybe that's what she's going for? I'd love to see her NY boyfriend. He's probably older than Stassi and smart enough to avoid Bravo cameras like the plague. On this show Jax is supposedly 33-35. Most men that age go for women in their 20's, right? I wouldn't call the blonde he's dating Stassi #2 but she's pretty and appears more mature than the other women he's around. I'm not surprised Jax drives an older truck. It seems plastic surgery and tatoos rank higher than vehicles on his list of priorities. I'm no fan of Jax but he has the right to choose what's more important to him. Even if it's illogical. Last night on WWHL, Scheana and Kristen freely admitted they get Botox injections. A caller asked if Kristen had work done since last season and she claimed it was Botox. Andy said, "really?" as in that's it? Andy said her nose looked different (and I agree) and Kristen claimed it was her makeup artists' awesome contouring abilties. Bwahaha! That's what they all say these days.

Flat Iron Tom. He flat irons his hair.

I watched the rerun on Esquire yesterday and feel the exact same way.

I can't help but feel I'm watching a soap opera. *sigh* Thanks for the link!

I very much hope that is the case. I admit I don't recall seeing much of Ilan after that season. But maybe I missed his chance(s) for redemption. I wasn't overly impressed with Ilan's cooking skills but compared to the other cheftestants, I can see him being in the top 3. Mike Isabella was a complete a hole. He did get to "redeem" himself, although he still came across as a jerk in my eyes. As bad as Mike I. and Aaron are, I used Ilan and crew as an example because what he & his "posse" did went above and beyond smack talk and asshattery.

The fact that RHOBH is my favorite of the franchise kind of sucks. I've given the others a chance but cannot get past the constant shouting matches (looking at you Atlanta and NJ). Yet NJ and especially Atlanta are constantly airing. I suppose I'm in the minority because one woutd assume that higher ratings = more air time. NJ seems to be on less than Atlanta. There's at least somewhat of a break. NJ has one spin off, Manzod With Children (ugh). Atlanta has had numerous weddings and spin offs like Don't Be Tardy, Queens of Fashion, etc. Perhaps that is what is throwing me off?

Once could argue that being a jerk on Top Chef isn't necessarily a bad thing, although it should be. In my opinion, Ilan and his crew should have been eliminated from season 2 for man handling and assaulting another contestant. Instead, the judges or TPTB shrugged it off (pretty much) and Ilan was given the title of Top Chef! Now he hosts Knife Fight. Hosting a show doesn't equal success but Ilan didn't completely fall off the radar. Just saying.

I'd be suprised if she didn't.

I thought Tom and Ariana were together during last season's reunion.

I never watched LCK because the Bravo website is an absolute nightmare as it is.

Thanks so much for the info!! I used to use PhotoReady. Maybe I'll try the HD Studio Foundation by NYX this time around. Thanks again!

Interesting. I only caught the tail end of that episode, unfortunately. Regarding the salmon ice cream, wouldn't it be too hard and cold to spread on bread? Otherwise, that bread would be soggy and not at all appetizing.

And somehow I doubt Caroline was able to get those secret sauce recipes in Texas regardless of her claims.

I am interested in Edward IV as well. Maybe I should look into the book(s) you mentioned. I'm not sure if there's more information about Edward IV that I haven't read about. I sure hope so!

Yes! Her eyes. That's the only thing I could focus on.

Thanks Once Sane and Chrissytd. I didn't know about Queen Bees. Was it anything similar to Mean Girls? Great fit for Stassy.

I love Christian. Unfortunately, he can't carry this show alone. I couldn't watch for more than 15 minutes.

You got me there, Persnickety!

Good news! Thanks for the update.

It's funny because I saw WWHL last night and Dina claimed she doesn't do anything special to keep her skin so smooth & pristine. She did admit to having microdermabrasion two weeks or months ago. But there's no way that woman, who looks younger than me at 28, hasn't tweaked her face with botox/fillers and/or had tons of peels and facials. She was also asked about the makeup she uses and she said she owed her "youthful" look to her makeup artist. Just for once I wish one of these bravolebrities or celebs would at least say what kind of skin care or cosmetics they use. Not that I could afford it. I went years without watching television because I refused to pay for cable. Now that I've started watching again, I look older every time I look in the mirror. I suppose it's because I have no "real" sense of what a person my age should look like. Save for co-workers and a few friends my age. I generally suck at guessing a persons age. Anyway... Sorry I veered off topic. I do see a resemblance between Dina and Caro for sure.
