It sucks that Siggy's nonsense has generated most of the conflict for the season. My friend thinks it guarantees she'll be back next season. And the season finale already? That gives them only one more episode than season 2 of Dallas. Are the Housewives shows dying?

Siggy marches to the beat of her own drum...and it's a one-woman song about the EVILs of Margaret. Now she's trying to get her father to sing along, and I really hope this is all for the cameras.

Does anyone know if Camille was considering returning this season? I read an article about her engagement and I thought she said she may come back next season. If she's on next week, won't that be 3 out of the 4 episodes of this season?

You give Andy far more credit than I do. My impression is that she is his current fave of the BH set, and I've even considered that some of her pandering to the gay community is because she knows it makes him squeal like a ninny.

Weren't there a couple scenes in Erika's first season that gave the impression that Tom is the MAN of the house and Erika was expected to know her place? I find it hard to believe that Tom would appreciate Erika acting out in front of clients, who I imagine are important to him. But who knows, maybe it's some kind of foreplay for them.

After all of that wailing and gnashing of teeth, Theo wakes up and takes responsibility for his actions...seemingly wiping the slate clean. I haven't decided if there's a valuable lesson in there, or it was all much-ado-about-nothing. Probably both. If they're determined to do a rivalry between Ciara and Claire, it seems like there's a better execution than this. Sometimes I can convince myself that Ciara is lashing out at Claire because she still hasn't dealt with the rape and her father's death but that doesn't always work.

That made me smile. I have a friend who used to watch this franchise with me and I remember how excited we got when they previewed Brandi's fight with Kim and Kyle. Good times! I agree that it sometimes takes BH almost an entire season to build up to a couple good confrontation scenes. Sometimes I appreciate how they're able to dance around their grievances, but it isn't without frustration.

I feel like you're comparing apples to oranges. I enjoyed Brandi as the resident shit-stirrer but Teddi seems much more laid back from what we've seen so far. Wasn't Brandi accusing Kim of doing drugs in the bathroom in her first episode? Poor Adrienne. I feel bad for someone who looks in the mirror and is so unsatisfied with what they see that they think the bloated-looking face is the logical solution. The last thing I want to watch is LVP and Erika being friends. Ugh.

Does anyone know if there's some connection to BRAVO airing S2 today to tonight's episode?

I was disappointed that they made JJ's depression, and his choice to take his own life, into a sordid affair with Lani seeing the hug but then I remembered I was watching a show in which people are possessed by the devil, and just about any of them could be brought back from the dead. Oh well.

JJ is a lefty! Depression is such a struggle, and then to go to that place where suicide seems like your only option. Very difficult. Thoughtful of them to do a PSA at this time of the year.

YAY, Chrissy! Another win! *giggle*

It made me love LVP even more when Erika, somewhat reluctantly, admitted that LVP knew exactly what she was doing with the situation. If only LVP could tell what she really thinks of Erika.

That was my favorite part of the episode. Andre got a good chuckle out of me. I keep hoping for Paul to abandon his loyalty to Sonny but I guess he's a better man than me. Christopher Sean is so good at crying.

I think it's like a wink to her gay fans. It doesn't seem like something straight women would use in reference to each other.

WTF was going on with Erika in her TH with the black poofy dress, pink raccoon eyes and that odd-looking tiara on her head? Did Mikey do that to her? Dorit tries so hard to impress it's painful. I know I liked something about her last season but maybe it was just because she seemed like the underdog. Teddi made a good first impression. I like the differences between the desperate fame whores (Erika, Dorit, Taylor, Lisa R...) and the ones who grew up in the industry (Kyle, Kim, Eden...). Plus, I love a dry sense of humor (smart ass). That's quite interesting about the Harry Hamlin/Julianne Phillips rumor. I always thought Kim was just bullshitting but now it actually makes some sense.

I'm fine with Brady being a jackass, if for no other reason than it seems like Eric Martsolf is best suited for playing this flavor of Brady than any of the others. Most of the time I think EM is there simply for the paycheck. Great stuff with Sami, Marlena, John, Will and Lucas. All that would have made it better would have been if Marlena said, "I love you, Samantha Jean!" I can't believe how much this show has made my eyes water over the past couple weeks. Now I'll have to go back to missing Sami.

That's a great fight, though. I still laugh when I think about Kyle running off out of there. Siggy is a rotten person or a total moron accusing Margaret of being anti-Semitic based on the Hitler analogy. Probably both. Poor Danielle. She's trying so hard to be relevant this season but most of her performances feel forced.

I've been wondering for weeks if I'm the only one around here who likes Chrissy. Nice to finally meet you!

Does it seem like she's trying to hide a smile in some of her scenes, or is it just me?

When a woman throws a glass across the dining room at a restaurant and no one comes over to ask if everything is OK....at least they didn't let the staff in on it when Shannon threw a plate across the table at Kelly Dodd.

Talk about the monsters of the ID! It'd be fun if they spent a little time exploring how Sami could do something so awful to her son but I suspect they'll breeze right over it. Anyways, in my own mind it was fascinating to observe how one can go to such a dark place to accomplish an end goal.

Are you being sarcastica?

It's weird because it seemed like the entire season was about how Tamra was trying to push Vicki off of the show, but now they're all crying and hugging it out. Or, maybe the big kiss and make-up session at the reunion was the plan all along, and the path to get there was poorly executed.

Do you think that's what it was? The apologize-and-hug performance was nauseating. It took them a whole season to realize that Vicki is fun to hang out with, so maybe it's time to forgive her and start the whole routine all over again. While we got stuck with one of the worst seasons EVER.
