Judging by the comments, I'd say you are in the majority.

Leanne and Rich belong together and deserve each other. I cannot decide which one is more despicable. He clearly is a womanizer who does not have respect for any woman, and Leanne is so accustomed to lying about everything in her life so that she can play the victim card and get away with atrocious behaviour. They are both vile.

I am not sure WHY I am just watching the latest season of Little Women LA now (as I check the times aired, they list dates between May and September/2019) but I am in Canada, so maybe we're 'delayed', hmm? Anyhow, I just watched the episode where Tera (yet again) went off on Kristy for daring to say that Tera won't understand what Kristy is going through until her kids are teens who talk back to her. Tera immediately attacked Kristy for criticizing Penelope because she had a setback and is unable to talk as she did before. Anyone watching could clearly see Tera was itching for an attack (got to get those ratings, you know) and the NERVE of her to bully Kristy and demand that she never discuss Tera's children, yet in the same sentence tell Kristy she's a horrible mother whose children were taken away twice. Congratulations, Tera, you are the official winner of the L.A.'s Biggest Troll Douchebag award. I unsubscribed from her Youtube channel and as far as I am concerned, she is the most vile, self-centred character on television (right up there with Dallas's Leanne). Kristy is a nutjob in her own right, but I am sick of watching Tera use her as a punching bag because she knows none of the other women would put up with that crap. (Kristy is an essay of her own because of her dramatic hypochondriac attempts for attention.)

Good point. I discovered this when the black child was born to the Queen and quickly taken away to the monastery. I looked it up and apparently there was a black nun who was 'rumoured' to be the Queen of France's child form an affair.

Which station did you go to in order to watch season 3? I am so jealous because I have had my TV PVR'ed for Versaille but it's not appeared on any channel for almost a year. I thought maybe it wasn't renewed. Even now, when I watch the opening 3 minutes, I get goosebumps because of the intro song, Générique. So beautiful and atmospheric, it makes me feel as though I've gone back in time. (Until I am hit with the reality of powdered wigs, lice and poor indoor plumbing, lol).

I agree with you 100%! It is so refreshing to read a synopsis about what is really going on (while reinforcing my concern that there is something 'off' about this guy.) No BS, no he-said, she-said lies. And thanks for the laugh with your ' village idiot' comment. Anna needs to focus on her kids and make them her priority rather than ugly-crying over a foreign troll.

I loved Shannon when she first came on the show. She seemed so real and honest. Of course she got burnt a couple of times when she learned that the housewives love to act compassionate so they can get the dirt on what is really going on in a newbie's life.Then she switched half way through year three, became nastier to others and quite arrogant, and by year four Shannon was as mean and vile as Vicki and Tamra. She just didn't outright lie... but she loved to plant gossip seeds. Shannon only became nicer to Gina when she realized Gina was in a crappy marriage and soon facing a DUI charge. Finally someone more out of control than her!

Hana Chan - You made my day!! I seriously thought that everyone on today's instagram/Facebook are so aware of their 'good side' / best angle for their best feature that they can strike a pose at anytime and get amazing results. After reading your post, I looked at a handful of pictures and realized you are absolutely right. I forgot all about phone filters, photoshop etc.and basic manipulation. Having realized all of this, I am officially okay with having my real picture taken. At least people know what they're getting with me, lol. Thanks for the eye-opener. You are right. And someone mentioned Youtube. I keep forgetting YouTube has a tutorial for anything and everything, Thanks!

I have come to realize that these people are the scum of the earth. Scrapings from the bottom of the barrel. Why would we ever consider allowing any of them bring more people like themselves here (or to any other country)?

I am in shock that ANYONE would want to be around Laura or Danielle. Even old men. Surely there's better women to spend one's money on?

I still don't understand why she wants this guy? He does not look 38, maybe 48? She needs to focus on her kids rather than trying to communicate through some translation app on a phone. WTH is wrong with these people? I agree - she was devastated. I just hope she fully understands that he lied about her having kids the whole time. He left for America not telling them because he was terrified. Yet he makes out on the phone that when he got to the USA, he suddenly met 3 kids. His parents shouldn't be quick to hate on Anna. It doesn't appear any woman wants him back home.

Your post was great mar, and clear. I knew what you meant and added my 2 cents. People forget that no one is ever 100% innocent where breakups occur... There will always be something more that we are not privy to, and then voila, 5 years down the road we learn what 'really happened'. Sorry if I made you feel any other way. I do wonder if poor Gina's 'picker' is off as well?

Oh dear - my post of shame. Here I am commenting on HW and their charitable acts when I realized the last time I did something charitable (I don't mean sending in a donation) was over 5 years ago!. I will see myself out of this discussion. Sorry.

Great post. I bet Andy was gritting his teeth because it was as though Vicki was not on the right stage. She was ranting about stuff being horrible - yet the same stuff she used to do. She states she started the show and denied Andy's remark re: an audition tape. Of course there would be an audition tape, what is wrong with her? I found all of her yelling, rambling etc. was like trying to deal with a drunk. It's impossible, you have to wait for them to sober up. Problem is, this is Vicki, there won't be a better moment. And who is she to try and threaten Andy with "Don't forget where you come from". Andy could have been a gigalo in his past and he is not going to allow anyone to make him feel ashamed of something that is over and gone. That's what Vicki can't stand - people just don't care anymore what one did in their 'past'.

Oh my, thanks for the laugh. Quite an opposite list. Lisa Rinna is great (in my eyes) and I have always liked her. She often says she will come out and support whenever she's able. I believe she truly good from the heart. Come to think of it, the OC is definitely lagging behind other HW franchises when it comes to charity. I believe Dorinda from NY does a fair amount (but off camera) charity work. Even NJ Dolores with the safe houses. Atlanta... not so sure. What is really sad is that if Kelly seems the 'charitable' one on the OC, what does that say for the others? Yikes!

BTW - Statsqueen - your last paragraph had me roaring. You remind me of my sister - to the point, blunt, and sometimes she'd whack me on the side of my head and say, "What were you thinking?" I miss her. Thanks for the laugh. I disliked the one with Katherine, Shep, and Thomas. Is that the OG? Then there was one with some blonde gal whose house caught on fire. Now I believe there's something new with a couple breaking up and she's remarried and expecting? That last one has very strong women shown, which is nice for a change. I am just grateful I keep calling it Southern Charm because my instinct is to call it Southern Comfort. Yum

Yep - I know exactly what you are saying. Try having hot flashes 24/7 (I should be so lucky to have them in the night) then stinking period that lasted to 56 - as I told my cousin, what kind of eggs are slipping through, petrified? And on top of all of that... acne. I had to quit working because nothing was changing after 8 years. I finally broke down and I am trying some hormonal creams, but I just want to know how the women did it a century ago? Or did they just not live that long?

Believe it or not, I like her makeup. I am jealous of millennials - they grew up with phones, instagrams, twitter, etc. and they all know how to take a great selfie. Where can an old duck like me learn how to take a good selfie? I do not have the first clue. Whit manages to take good selfies, and looks far thinner in them than I do and I am 70+ lbs lighter than her. I realize only so much can be done for a 50+ year old face, but seriously, how do I learn how to pose for a selfie (honestly, I am not hideous although my picture attempts state otherwise). Thanks in advance...

How can she remain so obtuse after all these years? Who is enabling her idiotic, myopic view of reality? Come now, one step at a time. She's still walking him through the idea of leaving the light on when they feel senuous...

I figured it out! Thye both listen to passages as a book on tape, while they are soused, and feeling sensous. I forgot about this show a couple of years ago and I have to admit, I am feeling incredulous that people are watching it. Is there really enough of an interest to keep renewing this nonsense, or do her parents have shares in some tv station? A channel?

I wish I could give yours (and many others') post 6+ likes. Your last sentence says it all - At the end of the day, Rhylee is annoying and loud. SO WHAT? This times 2 million. Why is it when a strong woman like Rhylee or Kate is loud and opinionated, people lose their shit? (Off with their Heads!! Fire them!!) A guy does it and he's simply being a dick of a guy? It's 2020 (almost) and all you Millennials need to change everyone's gender views as this is the world you've inherited and will have to inhabit and navigate.

You are right, McJen. When Asston woke and realized the 'situation' was blackedout (and none of his bros could remember what was said, aside from trying to imply she diss'ed his whole family). Asston's tiny brain worked overtime. AHA, he thought! Focus on how horrible Rhylee is at her job, and get her fired. That way, NO ONE will ever remember that I tried to force myself on Rhylee last year, and forcibly kissed Kate twice this year, while displaying violent tendencies, and spewing obscenities about women. That's the ticket... Rhylee will take the heat off me. I am so smart!

Annie - THANK YOU!!! (For posting this.) It is like you read my mind. My hubby laughs at me because I LOVE this show. I look forward to watching it each week and it makes me want to travel and explore the world (as well as to try some new recipes.) I also identify with many of the characters (Kate is like my cousin) so it feels as though I know them. However, as Annie pointed out… this season has changed that and this is no longer harmless escapism. It’s turned into real situations that I see at work, or hear about through my friends, and loved ones, and whether it is harmless TV, or something told to me by a friend - BOTH do not feel fun or good anymore and I hope something changes, and quickly. SORRY -This post is long and yes, I am turning my anger towards a phoney ‘reality’ show, yet at the same time, kudos to Below Deck for spotlighting some area that should be long gone, even EXTINCT from any society by 2020. I just wish we could see all the production tapes because I have a feeling more gender lines were crossed (by everyone) than are legally allowed, yet no one stepped in and helped. Tanner almost did, but then turned around and negated anything he had previously said. I do recognize that a decent % of the storyline is churned up by production. However, this season has been reduced to such an uncomfortable, giant cluster-f**k of nasty, mean-girls combined with a group of horny, indiscriminate hole-seeking men, who... (even more than usual) are disgustingly proud of their infantile choices/ behaviour. The two groups combined are like living by a pulp mill and we viewers simply can’t get the stench off of us. It started with Kevin boarding the yacht as a Chef who thinks the majority of kitchen workers/helpers etc, are intellectually and common-sense wise, inferior. He behaved like an arrogant diva from the get-go and yet (??WTF??) he’s been given a ‘pass’ for his horrible insults/behaviour. That does not stop him from bashing Kate every talking head he has. AND he continues by blaming KATE if the tip is less than $18,000. (I don’t know what production editing is being done, but all I’ve seen is Kate working her arse off, and always ensuring Kevin hears any of the good feedback the clients make re: his food. He LOVES that, but can’t get his head out of his ass long enough to see that it is KATE helping the general tone of the kitchen. Finally, I just about choked laughing when he blamed Kate for not reminding him about no cheese for a guest, and he further blamed her for not reminding him (yet again) about the double birthday cakes requested on HIS FOOD preference sheets. (To be fair, I haven’t seen him look at any preference sheets so him may struggle with reading, BUT that means find someone to help you!) Tanner’s preoccupation with “dipping his wick” was so unattractive, yet somewhere between talking shit with his ‘mates’ and whispering sweet nothings to Simone apparently got him action. I hope his mom is embarrassed with how he made it clear to EVERYONE that this was just physical release (except to Simone). Then when she figured it out and was fine with the outcome, he kept sniffing around her doorway, not even allowing her a chance to sleep in her own bed. But come on Simone, NO MAN is good-looking when his personality is ugly. As soon as he discussed their bed-action, she should have tossed him. Tanner is too immature to be with anyone but someone professional. I remember last year when Ashton was everyone’s go-to, wise advisor. He kept to himself, didn’t pass judgement, tried to sleep with every woman he could, but didn’t get mad if the answer was no! (He just assumed there was something dysfunctional about the gal). etc. He also understood Captain Lee was offering him the chance to leap frog seniority to become boatswain because he believed in Ashton’s potential. I think will all did given Ashton’s humble and appreciative nature. (Yeah, right… where is that Ashton now?) Ashton deserved the opportunity, however - opportunity does not equate arrogance, nor does it justify a dictator boatswain who demands, “Respect my rank, or leave!”. I still believe he has potential, I just think they jumped the gun with him. Or maybe Cpt. Lee didn’t give him helpful guidelines - preferring to watch him implode and self sabotage. I have so much more to say, but believe it or not, I am so disappointed with this season, I’ve run out of even caring. I like Kate, Ashton, Rhylee for different reasons, but I am fed up. Everyone knows what choices and actions are inappropriate. Everyone knows what really happened and to what extreme we viewers are being played. All I know is when I see young men (yet old enough to know better) bonding with each other while bitching about ‘women’, I usually don’t take notice. But when I see them becoming better bros while continuing to ‘bitch’ about the useless women, while growing closer as they bed and boast? WTH? I can’t stand watching these women when they emotionally react. I realize they have no idea what’s being said, but try to remember, gals, there are no secrets on a yacht/ nor a reality tv show. Why can’t all the crew (interior and exterior) band together, regardless of gender and who is banging whom? Others have done it. The guys behaved stupidly for being angry because Rhylee shared Tanner’s brag. Own it Tanner, and move on. The guys then seem to form an unspoken agreement that all personal dirt/gossip lies will be kept away from the women they are talking about. By the 6th charter it appears these men have rabidly fed each other such ridiculous shit (daily) and nonsensical claims about the only two women who won’t entertain their idiot behaviour (Rhylee and Kate). This makes the guys even angrier and thus look even more like children yielding tantrums. Good on Ashton, he’s so excited that Rhyme ‘failed’ as a fisher and now he wants her gone. And Kevin made me laugh that they would do better with Kate gone. Please production - grant them their wish.

I feel embarrassed for Simone. Once she sees the show being aired, she will see that Tanner is playing her for the fool, while she becomes all doe-eyed over her unrequited love. We've seen her say "Nope, not gonna give in", only to turn around and say, "What the hell". What makes it worse is I am positive she has made it clear to Tanner that this is simply a boat romp, period. Yet we never see or hear all of Tanner's desperate "Meatloaf declarations"**. For some reason this show enjoys editing relationships to mirror female desperation, when we all know males are equally (if not more) desperate. What is up with that? ** Lyrics for those who forgot** And when the feeling came upon me Like a tidal wave I started swearing to my god And on my mother's grave That I would love you to the end of time...

Captain Lee and the boat crew bring to mind a teacher and his/her grade four class. When teacher is strolling around the class, checking on student work, the atmosphere is calm and productive. As soon as the teacher leaves to get an message from the office, etc., the class erupts into chaos. Teacher returns, and class looks like a dream. This is called not tattling and no tattling means you won't get beaten up at recess and lunch, lol.
