Favourite bits: Ampika calling Tanya a "life coach" and how it doesn't match her behaviour. I would think it was funny that Tanya retorted that she wouldn't buy shampoo from Ampika, but I just think going for someone's appearance is low-hanging fruit. Tanya just comes across as really passionately angry the way she loses her breath, whereas Ampika is always good at maintaining her cool. Ampika saying Misse was very simple and hit the nail on the head *clap*. I enjoyed hearing all about the phone calls behind the scenes and Stacey's input on Dawn's manipulation. I definitely think Dawn acts oblivious and innocent/offended on the show, but more than likely kicks up fuck behind the scenes. Annoying bits: The viewer questions... was there really nothing more interesting asked?? Dawn. Dawn and the fan. Cringe. Tanya. Lack of Lauren. Including cutting short things that she said. Choppy editing. It was worse than the RHONJ season 4 reunion. Tanya saying Ampika has blown her lips up too much... pot kettle black etc.

So Ampika is half Thai! I had no idea. Ampika has been nice to Misse from the start yet Misse has created such an issue with her. Tanya and Dawn were the only ones to come for Misse and now they're best buds? I get the vibe from Tanya/Misse/Dawn together that they think they're the cool/hot ones. I thought Lauren's portrait wasn't very good... So next week must be the finale. Let's hope the reunion is good.

https://www.facebook.com/RealHousewivesOfCheshire/ There is a Facebook page now, I've just discovered. You can ask questions for the reunion. Apparently Brian Dowling is the host...

Season 7 looks good. Four nose jobs! Machine gun noise! Feisty Teresa returns! I don't know who it is doing the machine gun motion/sounds but it's stuck in my head constantly and causing me to randomly laugh out loud. Wonder what caused Jacqueline to lose it (doesn't take much), thanks to no Caroline reining her in. I really hope they hit her below the belt with her own truth.

I'm pretty sure one of the models at Stacey's fashion show was in the fashion show in the first episode. Hard to keep up with all the fake fashion shows this season! Dawn thinks she and Misse will be friends becaue they both dislike Ampika. Nice. Ampika looked good at Tanya's party! I also thought she suited the makeover, but it was really just generic hair and makeup with no originality, a la Snog Marry Avoid. Plus she obviously didn't feel comfortable. Tanya and Phil made me laugh at the scan. It is interesting to see how Leeann has changed. She said she won't hate someone just because Dawn does, but she certainly went after Magali because Dawn didn't like her! I wonder why the change now. It's certainly enjoyable to see.

I love Ampika "owning" her dodgy style. She always makes me smile every episode with her proclamations of how outrageous she is (along with hand/arm/head movements). I'm really disappointed that THIS is the season they finally have a reunion - hardly anything interesting has happened so far. Why has no one mentioned Dawn assaulting Sinitta? I hope that Magali gets to show up during the reunion - the reunion could round-up all the drama of three seasons. To me, the first two seasons had a lot more interesting drama, that would've been interesting to hear further explained at a reunion.

I'd probably have acted like Georgina (haha!) on the camel. Start off nervous then get increasingly more so with every bump. Then I'd probably regret getting off especially after seeing how amazing it looked for everyone else riding through till dark! Janet looked like a mannequin strapped onto the camel when hers started to buckle - she was so stiff I found it hilarious! What on earth was Lydia doing in Dubai 20/25/26 years ago?? The shopping trip with PF looked very challenging. Totally agree with Gina - PF wants to be admired (as do they all) but the difference with her is she wants everyone to be seething with envy. Don't know if anyone else saw this: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3541819/Real-Housewives-Melbourne-star-Gina-Liano-slams-Gamble-Breaux-lying-recent-interview-Nova-s-Fitzy-Wippa.html Gina also posted an old photo of herself and LVP with a hashtag like #lisavanderpumpdidnotcallmeastalker. I think it's quite embarrassing that she so desperately wants everyone to know she has LVP's approval. Calm down.

I definitely eye-rolled when I heard Leanne's tagline "I finally found my voice and I'm not afraid to use it" - how many 'Wives have used that one now? She definitely hasn't worried about speaking out before - but maybe it's in regards to Dawn? We'll see. Missé is very Made In Chelsea to me. I might like her. Could be a good stealth bitch. Seema is a really interesting addition - there's never been a Housewife of an arranged marriage before. Or even an Indian Housewife? Did Ampika dress Mark in that patent red jacket? Dawn's apology was awful. Hanging over someone like that.

I laughed out loud / did a big shocked face at Janet saying she wanted to try all men - tall, short, black, white..... I don't know about Susie either. I think she's cute especially when she smiled when with her sons, bur she probably would've been better off as "friend of". Lydia's wedding dress was very nice. Not too "look at me" but still looked expensive. My new favourite saying is "pushing shit uphill"!

Gina walking through the automatic door to visit her father just looked... bizarre. She looked like she took a wrong turn on the way to the club. I wonder why Lydia and Pettifleur were the only two at Gina's son's birthday dinner? Kind of random choice. Gina didn't seem to take too well to Gamble being upset with her behind her back, but we didn't see any of it on camera, so I wonder if Gamble only mentioned it behind the scenes because she didn't want it to be the drama of the night?

Just saw the intro for the new season on the Bravo website - they have changed the theme music again! I quite like it but just think it's odd to have changed it three times now for this franchise, but never with any others (except Miami). Also, Bethenny and Dorinda have new looks but the others don't.

So Gina is unhappy with the editing regarding her reading out the tweets, and also the editing of her assistant. The editors are using the oldest tricks in the book here (especially when editing Josh's responses to make it look very delayed after the question has been asked). I love Gamble - although I wish she'd followed Lydia's advice on getting rid of the dated hair - just go fully blonde!! Also, what is the issue with not wanting to walk on the beach barefoot? It'd look a lot better than waddling down in heels. I understand wearing them to sit down, but walking looks silly. Do they think they are The Empress of Lucite/Shauna Sand?

I found the scene with Jackie's mum really irritating too. Why would you totally guilt trip your child like that!? Not everyone wants children. Can she not be happy that Jackie is (I assume) happily married, healthy and working? Not sure about Susie yet, but I quite like her way of speaking and she is nice to look at. I believe what she's saying about Lydia, and wonder if Gamble has taken it on board but will play as if she's taking Lydia's side for now. I hope she's wary!

Oh my god. So many laugh out loud moments. I noticed Jackie looked so irritated when they spoke about Lydia and Pettifleur being friends. From their lunch it was quite obvious that Lydia and Pettifleur didn't like eachother. For some reason I actually quite liked/felt sorry for Lydia in this episode... I don't know why!! I guess they will be piling on her this season.

Adding "dot com" to the end of things is so dated and cringeworthy, just like the rest of Peti's "witticisms". Ughh. I don't look forward to seeing the smug, self-satisfied look on her face every time she says "bitches". I hope Gamble doesn't let me down.
