What's even more jarring is that MJ must have signed off on production being allowed to use that clip of her tig ol' bitties bouncing up and down for the show. SMH. Easy. To secure the bag with Paulina. He sees dollar signs when he looks at her, and she's too foolish to know otherwise. He's such a textbook, performative narcissist. Even his first wife Jessica came from money, as the daughter of the CEO (or was it CFO) of Fiji water.

"Family Blessings" was perhaps one of my favorite hours of reality television ever. The whole ordeal of Amrit coming out to his grandmother was so raw, unfiltered, un-produced. As a somewhat closeted bisexual Sindhi guy myself who was raised by his Nani, that scene hit me so hard. There was no one on earth I loved more than my Nani and I don't think I would have ever had the courage to come out to her the way Amrit did. And the icing on the cake was all the Sindhi that was being spoken on national television!! (Although I must say, Amrit does not understand noun-gender agreement as he kept referring to Nicholas as "muhinji dost" my friend, feminine when it should be "muhinjo dost," my friend, masculine). Anyway, I watched this past hour with my mom and she was in tears. This really is a show that appeals to many generations and is infused with so much culture, humor and heart. I'm loving this season and hope Bravo protects it and keeps it around for years to come.

I'd call Dillon a shit-stirrer who runs his mouth inappropriately and then plays the victim and cries when there are repercussions. There's nothing brave about that.

This is the most likable Richa has been in...forever Looks like the tea I reported from IG last year about Monica's bf Rish(i) of some time Karam(chandani) was entirely true after all. :)

Being held accountable and exposed to the world for four decades of absolutely vile behavior and circumventing the law to fatten your own coiffeurs with ill-gotten gains from burn victims, widows and orphans might do that to you. Andy Cohen is full of shit.

Lopa never lived in the greater Miami area. She lives in Tennessee, and the cast know her through Vishal. What a villain entrance the producers gave Lopa! These folks certainly aren't pulling any punches. As wrong as Lopa is for a lot of her behavior, Reshma P. does rub me the wrong way--but she was certainly in her right to stand up for her son who had been badly slandered by that simpering twit Dillon, who had the nerve to show his face at happy hour. If I were him I would have been sure to have plans outside the house at that very time, but I suppose that's how much of a famewhore he is. I thought Shaan and Dillon's mother was being all extra like her boys, in hopes of securing camera time. I don't like Mama Patel from what I've seen of her. I'm cool with Aunty Chitra and Dharma, though (minus the latter repeatedly calling Monica a "prick tease.")

Yeah but this show could use a voice of reason amongst so many certifiable hotheads. Same ol' shit, different season.

Season 2 trailer dropped today

The title of this episode is "The Doctor is Out"

Absolutely. I knew Brandi was about to spew some BS when the words "As your sister in Christ..." left her lips.

This. So much this! Also, let's not forget Brandi justifies her copious daytime drinking and generally being a lush by calling wine "Jesus Juice." Tiffany has been a Godsend this season. I too find her to be highly amusing. She is basically carrying this franchise, with some support from D'Andra. Dallas needs a major retooling if it is to come back for another season because apparently the ratings are in the crapper. I admire D'Andra for her spiritual quest and think it was awful of Brandi to call the guided meditation with the shaman demonic. Just because you don't understand something doesn't make it wrong. It only highlights Brandi's own ignorance and closed mindedness. My theory is Brandi released that footage herself to deflect from the mess she has shown herself to be in recent episodes. Spoiler alert... After witnessing that travesty, Party with Lushra is the last event planning service I would use if I lived in the Dallas area--I can imagine their business actually suffering as a result of their appearance and visibility on this show. I can't decide which was more hideous--the bright pink and Easter color palette or that small, sad-looking, astroturfed event space. I agree. RHONY has fallen into the same trap in recent years.

Brandi is the worst kind of Christian--sanctimonious and judgmental without understanding the core tenants of her own religion. I'm pretty sure Jesus would not approve of Brandi's behavior. It really irks me when Eastern or "pagan" spiritual beliefs are seen as less than by "devout" Christians. Its clear to me Brandi is the type of Southern Christian who sees her way as the only way and true path, and everyone else as a heathen on their way to hell in a hand basket. I used to find Brandi occasionally amusing in the earlier seasons but she can take her holier-than-thou self and leave this show at the season never to be seen again, as far as I'm concerned.

World of Dance Cancelled at NBC

This is especially a bad look for Brandi considering she's the one made a grand gesture of rebuking LeAnne for her racism towards Kary last year. Brandi got up from her seat at the reunion and walked off set to drag a metal folding chair back for LeAnne to sit in for a timeout. I bet she really regrets doing that now.

When has Kameron ever been on the right side of an argument?

I too, was growing very weary of this show but appreciate that editing has dialed down the over-the-top zaniness considerably this season. (It got so bad a few years ago that there were a few seasons I never made it through.) I suspect if I were to examine the credits the editing team has been completely overhauled. Agree with all of your points. In prior seasons, Anne used to consult her final recruit and come up with a menu based on their background or culinary interests. The contestants should have input on their final menu which should be a reflection of their journey and what the learned during their time in boot camp. The final menu should not be entirely dictated by the mentor chefs, especially when Anne's culinary POV is pretty obvious to spot in an allegedly "blind" tasting. This pivot has always peeved me about the show.

This show used to be absolutely hilarious. I remember laughing very hard the first couple of seasons, and that is an extremely difficult feat for a TV show (or anyone really) to accomplish with me. I think the zaniness has been toned down a lot this year, which has helped tremendously. At one point this show was beyond silly. All the most over-the-top contestants have already been eliminated. There aren't any characters who annoy the crap out of me like Domaine or that Armenian Kim Kardashian wannabe from last season. I find myself chuckling at Ayesha's shtick. She's very aware of the performative aspect needed to make the most of her camera time, but never crosses that line into being vexatious.

A season pass to this show should be sold in pharmacies as a treatment for insomnia.

I wonder why Netflix never aired the very first 2016 Christmas specials with Mel and Sue.

What was Erika's old tagline? "I'm an enigma, wrapped in a riddle, and cash." Looks like that enigma has been unraveled; the cash was never rightfully hers.

Did Pradyamun actually design those clothes for the idols, though? It's very common in India to have numerous clothes and jewelry for your idols--especially if they are of the larger, marble variety. Hindi is an Indo-European language spoken in North India. One cannot be Hindi. Hindu is a religious denomination for followers of the widely encompassing Sanatan Dharma faith.

I found Karen's mole to be extremely distracting to the point of only being able to fixate on it the first three seasons which I binged this summer, but now I'm getting used to it. However, the overly processed, flat, platinum blonde wigs that Karen has been sporting for the past couple of seasons are doing her no favors either. All I see is this:

Karen has many of virtues but ostensibly honesty isn't one of them.

What has happened to my beloved show? First, the incomparable duo of Mel and Sue quit when BBC lost the bid along with national treasure Mary Berry. Then we get this annoying, meddlesome Noel as a replacement. This season, my favorites Sura and Lottie who are both talented and full of personality were eliminated far before the semi-finals giving me no one to really root for (I guess I'm team Hermine). Not only that, but challenges have devolved into vapid and pointless "Instagram worthy" desserts that are all style over substance, or utterly disgusting desserts like the Sussex pond pudding and gelatin based jelly art which I have no desire in seeing nor would I ever eat. A sad day, indeed.

I would have preferred an All Star edition of Halloween Wars instead. That show started and ended so early this year.
