I agree Shannon’s a Debbie downer, but low-rent?? She’s depressed. It’s the height of the COVID scare and she has major lung damage. I’m in NYC and remember feeling terrified the first couple months of the unknown. Not everyone understood how bad it was going to get, but Shannon did... I don’t know anyone that’s low-rent that wears genuine Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry. One of her necklaces is a $60,000 necklace! Have you seen the first few seasons of RHOC? If you compared where Shannons Knick knacks came from vs. Gina’s, it’s no contest.Low rent was Lynn Curtain, Tammy’s, Lynn’s and Lauri’s skanky kids! Then Tamra comes along and brought the bar down even lower. Shannon is just old school. I agree with the dowager comments though.

He specifically mentioned Twitter. Twitter is comparable to a sewer. People will say anything on Twitter and of course, Andy Cohen thinks it’s an indicator! Part of the problem is Andy has a preference for the down and dirty. He’s a repulsive human being.

Kelly Dodd was SLAMMED for going with Rick to NYC, back and forth. She said earlier she wasn’t sure about the medical necessity of masks. Andy was dragging her about wearing masks. Here’s B. traveling across the USA, pictured with dozens of different people, hugging with no masks on...including last night being out with a half a dozen other women, including Tamrat. The issue here, is that Andy/Bravo fans have gone after certain housewives on social media about not taking the virus seriously. Yet, because B has her “causes,” no one drags her. That’s a problem. Selective outrage. You don’t look away at one housewife for not “following all the rules” and worship another for the same/worse violations because you like her.

That’s the thing. I would applaud for her, but I can’t keep all her versions of “her truth” straight. Good for her for owning her identity, but I don’t think she even knows her own identity. She’s given us a dozen versions of herself since her first episode. I think she’s just an attention whore.

Isn’t this supposed to be a Reality show? Is Andy/Bravo supposed to be giving them scripts to follow? I’m hot/cold with Kelly. She can be a crazy b@itch or sometimes we see her sweet side. I don’t always like her. I do think she is one of the most real of the housewives however. Do we not want that? Do we want people to censor themselves? She’s like a cruder version of Bethenny. I don’t consider ANY of the housewives across the board as role models. I mean, he loves Braunwyn and she’s a total nut job wreck. Which is it??

THIS. Living her truth? She wouldn’t know Truth if it bit her in the @ss. I always felt like she was a fraud. Truth would have been being true to herself years ago. I just can’t with this one. She’s all over the place. Also, Kelly is right about Braunwyn traveling all over the place. B. made a big deal out of Kelly going to see her husband in NY, but B. has been traveling all over the place and I think it was sponsored by Bravo. She met up with housewives from coast to coast. Andy loves her, so unless she quits the show, we are likely stuck with her and her new crisis every 5 minutes.

I also wanted to add, I think we are stuck with Braunwyn because Andy Cohen seems fascinated by her. He has her working as a HW Ambassador. She’s been featured in commercials promoting SLC, she’s been off to visit Kary BrittIngram in Dallas, the lady’s of SLC, she’s been to D.C., Puerto Rico, she visited Margaret Joseph’s, and has been to Manhattan/Hamptons this summer. And more...Sean makes the big money, her own words, somethings really off.

Bring it on Kelly Dodd! Braunwyn and Sean are frauds and Icky Vicky nailed it, as much as it pains me to say! I feel we need a timeline or flowchart to document all of Braunwyns stories, I can’t keep up. But...I do blame her whacky mother!

Thank you for saying this, I saw the same comparison between Jen and Pettifleur!! Yes! Jen IMO is less attractive, Jen and Heather give me a Madame puppet vibe. I already can’t stand Jen. She’s hard on the eyes. Her husband and kids seem awesome though. Meredith kind of looks like Madeleine Stowe, especially her demeanor. Whitney is also really pretty. Lisa reminds me of those twin sisters that were on one season of RHNJ. Mary’s marriage and religion are very off. Somethings just not right there, and I’m not just talking about her icky marriage.

I see someone answered the question. Last season, when Denise was new to the show, Rinna hosted a “decorate a chocolate valentine for your honey” party, the kind that only Erika would actually eat. It was at Rinna’s House. Rinna, the big mouth mentioned that Aaron recently divorced Nicollette. Then she proceeds to badmouth her on national TV, while she’s not on the show to defend herself with Rinna. She gossips that Nicolette had dumped Harry Hamlin for Bolton, when Hamlin was away for work. She made it clear she disliked Nicollette, while saying, “Thank you Michael Bolton!!” Since that left Harry free and Rinna could come along to take her place. Rinna loves to expose dirty laundry of anyone but her own. She’s not on the show to defend herself, just like Brandy trashed Leann Rimes. It got ugly on twitter after that!! Denise kept quiet about Nicollette. That’s the difference between Denise and evil Rinna.

You know what I want most more than world peace?! I want Nicollette Sheridan on this show next season. I want Andy and everyone else to kiss Sheridan’s tush. I want her to be the one to squash Rinna lIke a bug. I’m waiting!! I want her to get paid triple Rinna’s salary, and for Rinna to roast in the hot seat. What is this BS about BE HONEST! And you must accept sitting in the hot seat?!! She’s the Tamrat Barney of BH.

Oh.My.God. I said with an Elle Woods accent when I saw Dorinda’s pants. Geebus! I have this cute pic of myself when I was 3 or 4, circa 1970, with a vest with quilt squares! I like my picture and absolutely loathe that get up! In my defense, I did not dress myself for that portrait! I tell my kids that was my Austin Powers phase. 😎 NEVER is this a good look, not even on Giselle or the “it” girl of today! YIKES!!

I truly hope you are correct about your last bullet point. I know people say Andy no longer has say, but I find that hard to believe that Bravo is not heavily influenced by Andy. At the very beginning of reunion part 1, he was fawning over Leah. He said Sarah Paulson gave her a 25 and John Oliver loved her. So what. How about what all the majority of viewers want? He didn’t read any comments from the many who weren’t thrilled with her antics. I could take her or leave her, but it sure sounds like Andy is more influenced by his famous peers, than the general audience perception. That scene of Dorinda on the phone blowing blood vessels at John was psycho. I’m sure Sonja was afraid, and probably tip toes around her so the wrath stays on Tinsley and Ramona. If some producers felt so strongly that they refused to come back while Dorinda was there last season, that should have taken precedence over her return. We have all seen such strong outbursts since the beginning.

Wait a minute. During puppygate, Rinna was ALL OVER social media talking about LVP getting paid lots of money for not showing up for the job. She was obsessed about it... Yet Rinna tweets and posts the most vile stuff on social media and that’s okay? This is not new behavior on Rinna’s part. THIS is what this is all about...she is angry because Bravo values the appeal of Denise over her. She felt the same way about LVP. How dare they get paid all that money for nothing, while she’s hustling, hustling, hustling? In her mind, she feels she contributes more and deserves to be paid more than they were/are on this show.

The bottom line is...It’s irrelevant. As a parent, she asked the women to keep it down with that kind of talk. It’s no business of anyone else. They didn’t like it that Denise wasn’t having it. She may have even said Sami was bothered by it, to shut them down, it doesn’t even matter if she was or not bothered by it. Denise, is the only parents opinion that mattered that instance because she was the host/responsible party of the event, was bothered by it. I think she was more concerned about the other kids overhearing the conversation. Instead of the moms just shutting up about it, they seemed pretty put off. They wouldn’t drop the subject because they felt mommy shamed, IMO. They kept bringing it up. As a parent, I never allowed other parents, to undermine my parenting. Then again, most of my friends were on the same page with parenting styles.

I noticed on Dorinda’s Instagram stories, she’s posted several comments from fans that are disappointed she is leaving. Between Caroles speaking out and Dorinda’s postings, it’s pretty obvious she was fired and this was not a choice. As for diversity, age, socioeconomic status, etc., does every show on TV have to appeal to 20 year olds? Will they allow women over 35+ to watch shows that appeal to them, which includes women of a certain age? Middle aged women put these housewives shows and Bravo on the map. One of my daughters, who is 20 something year old, has been watching these shows on her own for years. The other one? Watches her own shows. Why change the formula? I’m not excited that Braunwyn and a younger cast will be the new focus on RHOC. I like a mix, but don’t want a focus on the youngens’ There are plenty of shows that feature a young crowd. The appeal to me was watching rich, spoiled-ish women, that take themselves too seriously...then we can snark on them.

Gawd, shut up Carole. You certainly weren’t real. She is the one who said she wasn’t “real friends” with Tinsley, much to Tinsley’s surprise. In interviews she insinuated she agreed to do the show in order to observe and possibly write a book about the experience.

Thank you Sew Sumi!

Up until WWHL, I thought Sonja looked so, so much better on social media posts, since they stopped filming then she did during the filming. She was just on with Rachael Harris and Sonja looked very strange. Not bloated, liked she was during the season, but her teeth looked very different and there’s something else, I can’t put my finger on what she had done...but it wasn’t good. Anyone know what she’s has had done? It was off putting to watch her.

Nice theory! Why would anyone in their right mind believe Brandi over anyone else on the planet?! The story seemed so disjointed, that this makes more sense. I think this was one of those times that LVP wasn’t involved because she seemed like she was distracted that whole season. She lost two dogs, her brother, and later on, her mother. I don’t know the timeline, but LVP was definitely caught off guard. She was not as actively participating in the show. Teddi seems to truly dislike LVP, Camille, and Denise.

Because she’s Denise F**king Richards, honey!! 😎 Just saying...best Talking head interview comment since the queen LVP left the show.

WTF are we continually subjected to Brandi Glanville? She’s more vile than Kyle. Rinna was fun for a hot minute when she originally joined the show, than she plotted and schemed to turn it into a soap opera. I agree with whoever said that Kyle and Rinna deserve the door, like Vicki and Tamra. Why is Brandi invited to Teddi’s baby shower? When did those two become close? Was Brandi feeding Teddi and Kyle dirt on LVP? Teddi was pretty involved in the dog storyline and now she’s the biggest pot stirrer in the Denise drama. I’m just trying to make sense of it all.

So...is this *misery loves company* turned into a storyline?! How hateful can you be? Monique seems pretty nice, what could she possibly have done to merit this pile on? This is almost as bad as Phaedra’s evil plotting. That’s a whole other level of mean.

Of course there are worse streets in Manhattan than Fulton, but how often do we see these ladies in the less than posh areas? They griped going to see Alex in Brooklyn. Sonja griped going downtown to meet Cindy B. They seem okay with Cipriani’s on Wall St though. If these were “regular people” with limited pocket change, they wouldn’t be selected for the show. Leah is like the Brandi on RHONY. Yes, the Regency on Park Avenue, is in a much nicer area. It’s just a bar/hotel, but I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t feel a need to scrub in an antiseptic bath when I return home from any of their typical destinations. I’ve been to the Regency a few times with my husband, it’s fine, it’s clean. I wouldn’t try to avoid that area, the way I go out of my way to avoid Fulton. Fulton/John are very dirty in comparison.

Luanne has the best look and dress. Lu, Ramona, Tinsley...all have the right look/beautiful. Ramona has beautiful jewelry. Tinsley looks beautiful and it’s a Tinsley princess dress! I think Sonja would have looked stunning if she wore a normal black mask. That mask design is clashing with her neckline...her makeup is great. She’s a beauty. I really don’t like Dorinda’s or Leah’s dress. Dorinda’s hair and makeup are on point though. Leah, she looks pretty from the neck up, but that dress is a train wreck. 😮
