Eh, IMHO the move was entirely financial. The combined salaries of the original cast is likely 10-20x what they'll pay the newbies, not just Ariana. Katie, Scheana & Sandoval are all OGs earning >$500k/season. It's likely none of them would've agreed to a huge pay cut. Bravo/Evolution knows they can easily find wannabe reality stars and pay them pennies on the dollar. The fact they're keeping the name of the show the same is them hoping to retain their audience and advertisers while slashing their production costs.

They were all old episodes, re-packaged as new with just the state as a description. Not sure what they thought they would gain by doing this. Like many, I've now deleted the House Hunters series from recording. I'm still interested in the new episodes but I'm sick of sorting through all the re-airings of old eps with new dates/descriptions.

The conversation between Mary & her son was one of the realest things to happen on a RH show (the others that come to mind being the Lynne Curtain eviction and Josh Waring situation, both on RHOC). I applaud both of them for agreeing to have that honest, raw, emotional discussion filmed. It truly can help so many. Glad to hear that he's doing better. Quick question, what happened to his father? I remember him from earlier seasons. Did he die? I'd much rather see real life stuff than these stupid she said/she said fights. My opinion of Bronwyn is quickly souring. While I like that she initially stood up to Heather, it's clear she's now just a competing shit-stirring attention whore. Don't even get me started on Brittani...then again, the only time I laughed was when they got confused thinking she was talking about Donnie vs. Jared.

Awww, the biggest glow up of all, James Kennedy. https://www.threads.net/@itsjameskennedy/post/DC3GUFtRevt?xmt=AQGzzftrDkEpJszlNToPwTzCjR5tBUaAFlgUd_qXM7YTjg

I think it was extremely brave of Erin to share her abortion story and it was hard watching the scenes with her father knowing he recently passed. There's a lot of chemistry with Jenna & Raquel. The way they kept touching each other at the art gallery and Jenna's admitted crush/hallpass. It appeared to me like Jenna was trying to convey (without directly saying it) that Erin's heart is the right place, while Brynn's the one you need to watch out for. If so, that made me happy because I haven't liked the way Brynn's treated Jenna at all and wasn't sure Jenna was fully aware.

I think Sutton's much more comfortable now having a real ally/friend with Jennifer. Her interview comments about not trusting Kyle likely apply to Erika as well. In the vein of "keep your friends close, your enemies closer" type deal. I enjoyed learning more about Boz. As someone who's spent 25+ years as a women in a male dominated corporate world, her experiences resonated with me. Just me, or does Dorit really look stunning? The hair color is working for her. Plus, I LOVED her no fucks left for Kyle attitude. Speaking of, I also appreciated Sutton's completely patronizing look when Kyle was trying to blame Dorit for the rift. May this actually be the Kyle takedown season I've been waiting years & years for?

Apparently, it's over for the OGs. Hope they saved some money! Pour one out for the OG stars of "Vanderpump Rules" ... Bravo just announced they're rebooting the entire cast for season 12 of the reality show. Edited to add reaction from the cast: https://people.com/vanderpump-rules-stars-speak-out-after-news-of-bravo-reboot-8752176

I might agree had we not been privy to her work history. Emma herself told us she'd had 3+ previous career starts & stops. That tells me that the issue's with her. For all his faults, Gary is a decent bosun/leader, he likes training people & we've seen him successfully coach other junior deckhands. Emma was scattered, lazy & defensive. Like Daisy said "you can only lead someone who wants to be led" Exactly. Danni is a brat.

Zero excuse for the drunk driving but they were on/off for nearly a year and even after the accident, he was staying at her house and sending her "I love you" texts. It's unfair to try to paint her as some violent stalker, especially when it's apparent he's not been honest with Alexis about the relationship timeline so I'm not about to trust his version of that evening's events. Their relationship was alcohol fueled and hella toxic. The truth lies somewhere in the middle. Shannon hasn't made excuses for her mistake of driving under the influence. She fulfilled her legal and financial obligations and is seemingly trying to move on. Not sure what they or anyone else expects from her. Oh wait, a storyline/orange. Alexis is full on delusional. She acts like someone forced her to film and say the things she did. I'm literally incredulous over her social media post after the reunion. I mean, I knew she was dumb but ...her poor children.

Emily going after Jenn for being friendly with Alexis while nestled between two of her biggest enablers was rich. Oh, and STFU Emily, no one is tuning in to hear your opinion on everything. Andy can kick rocks too. Tamrat fakes contrition & tears for every reunion. Stop babying her. Also didn't understand the big reveal the day after the reunion and why Jenn & Katie were excluded. Well, actually I do, because even though they were much kinder & supportive of Shannon during the season, Tamrat & Heather realized they were on the wrong side of public opinion & are now doing everything they can to appear supportive, while Emily kisses their asses in true 'pick me' style. I'm just bummed that Shannon appears to have fallen for it...yet again.

That may be part of it but it also looks like she's purposely not washing her face. Some of what was visible looked like caked on dirt, especially under her nose (not a spot that get a lot of sun). I wonder with all the fillers, lip injections, fake eyelashes, etc. she's afraid to really scrub her face? So we're left looking at the remnants of mud & sand from the challenges.

I rhink the palpable sexual chemistry between Mauricio & Dorit (and the public comments about it) was why Kyle pushed Dorit away. That was when the two couples stopped hanging out/traveling together.

I love that someone finally stuck a pin in Heather's overly inflated ego!! She'd really annointed herself queen & purposely stirred up.conflict so she was always the central friend. Bronwyn's explanation of her constantly moving goals posts in arguments was completely spot on. I literally clapped watching Heather finally back down when her usual tricks didn't work. Britini may be the dumbest (friend of).housewife ever. Umm, you're drinking on camera, they're gonna know. Finally, Whitney's impression of Meredith & her bangs may have made me pee a little I laughed so damn hard.
