Kelly Clarkson was the best alum mentor, unlike a certain winner/mentor from last year whom I thought came off condescending. I say sign her up to be a judge.

Well, that works both ways. There are non-fans who quote the show as if it was the gospel. And it's the non fans who also contribute to the success of this show by watching, snarking. The show has always been scripted. That is nothing new. But that is the case with most so-called "reality TV". It's all about the drama - and more drama. KKUWTK has figured out what is that draws audiences in. Kris, Kim etc, will continue to be controversial - as long as there is an audience for it.

GG has always been targeted as the outsider of this group. She certainly has her baggage - but so do the others. I find her less repulsive than Reza, MJ, Mike - who are all hypocrites. Asifa adds no value to the show.

The whole show is scripted/staged. It always has been. Kris has said "they make up as they go along". The drama is heighten for the cameras. They are all essentially playing a role. And it's always the villains that gets the most attention - and they know that.

TC has been inconsistent with their choices of winners. But this time, they got it right. I have no problem with an alum as a judge, but not Blais. It takes more than just being a good chef. He just doesn't have the kind of personality needed for this kind of show.

Typical Brandi, she turns on Yo. No surprise. It was a just a matter of time. That was such a cheap blow. They're done. The reunion should be good.

BRAVO's priority is ratings and making $. If they had any moral conscience, they would stop exploiting Kim for the sake of a storyline - and boot her off the show. Which is really the best thing for her sobriety. The housewife toxic environment cannot be healthy for her. Kim is sick. She needs help - away from the cameras, away from the vultures. And I'm not just talking about Brandi here. I'm looking at you Andy Cohen.

Pick your battles - and Vivica was smart enough to see the writing on the wall. She had absolutely nothing to gain and a lot more to lose from fighting. It was obvious Leeza and Geraldo were going to be in the finals. And there was no way Vivica would be able to argue against that. This way, she had control on how she wanted to go out - and that was on a high note.

iwasish: And Bruce deserves much better than this, which IMO certainly cheapens a very serious subject. Aside from E, Bruce's story likely will have a forum on other platforms. But for now, E is probably the forum that Bruce is most comfortable with. E also has a young demographic and if his story can help those isolated teens in small towns who are struggling, it's a win.

As noted, it's going to be a documentary, which is separate from KUWTK. And why not on E? That's where the Bruce Jenner today has most of his audience. And if they are able to reach out to some of those fans to have a better understanding, it's a win IMO.

So what? The family has a huge following - and if their connections can open up the dialogue and hopefully help others - that's only a good thing.

Dear Bravo, Can you please fire Brandi Glanville and hire Denise Richards. Thank you.

One of the best casting decision - Eileen Davidson and Lisa Rinna. One of the absolute worse - Brandi Cibrian.

Gregory peaked too early in the competition, whereas Melissa is peaking just at the right time. Mei has been the most consistent throughout. In fact, she has been gyp of a few wins. George should have never made it this far. He doesn't deserve this spot over Dougie, Katsuji, Adam or Katy.

LVP was right - it was only a matter time that Brandi screw over Kyle and that Kyle would have learn the hard way. Lisa Rinna - the Voice of the Viewers in that train wreck of a limo ride. Her acting skills came in handy this week. Eileen - love how she doesn't give the power to Brandi by not reacting. She basically sees her as a delusional fan.

Kyle said that when growing up, her mother never encouraged her to college to since she was a working actress. And she implied that she wanted to break that cycle and expects her own children to go to college. Somewhat similar with Eileen Davidson and Vincent Van Patten, who implied they jumped into their modeling/acting careers at a young age, and who obviously wanted more for their children and encourage education. None of these parents are momager Kris Jenner. In fact, far, far, from it.

The more that the so called "new" Porscha continues to reveal her true ugly, stupid self, the more she just validates what Kenya has been saying about her all along. I'd never thought I'll say this - if Kandi needs a storyline, I'd rather see the Old Lady Gang - than yet another pimping of Bedroom Kandi.

FINALLY!!! Claudia was able to do what others have failed - call out Linnethia "The Moose" Leaks, make her squirm, knock off her high horse and admit an apology for her wrong doings. Ne-Ne and her pumped up ego have gotten away with way too much for way too long now. What comes around, goes around. Go Claudia!!! I would love to see Demetria get a peach - the one that desperate Shady Fakedra is holding on to for dear life.

Max was featured more in Season 1. There was a storyline of getting him situated in school. And he has popped up at Pandora's wedding, at Ken's surgery, etc. His name also has been mentioned even if he wasn't on camera. And obviously his role on the show has resurfaced this season. Anwar has barely been shown or name check. Same with Kim's 3 older children. But that's due to choice than anything else. Being in front of a camera is not for everyone.

Not all the parent-child relationships with Yolanda and Kim have been shown on camera. Parents can have different relationships with each child. It doesn't mean they love them any less or more. Yolanda's obviously has more in common with Gigi, with her model background. But I doubt as a mother she loves Bella any less. And she obviously has a different relationship with Anwar, her only son. But he's rarely been shown. Same with Kim's 3 older children.
