Totally agree! Andy is definitely obvious about who he favors. I think it has to do with personal politics. Andy does use the housewives & Bravo shows as a bullhorn for gay rights, gay couples, behavior that is of the Girls Gone Wild level, and WWF fights. Not that there's anything wrong with that...ha, ha. But, he does like promoting the flamboyant lifestyles, IMO. Andy makes it clear that he is angry with anyone that may have said/done something not friendly to his point of view. You just need to watch WWHL to see this in action. I like Andy, but he does play favorites. I thought he was awful to Joyce. Joyce was Brandis punching bag last season. Tolerance isn't reserved for one point of view Andy... I'm surprised he seems to like Thomas Ravanel on Southern Charm because Thomas and those boys are obnoxious frat boys. (Except Whitney). Andy usually predictable about those he favors.

The Brandi/Kim smugness is disgusting. You know how Brandi is always exhausted & needs her Xanax? I'm starting to feel that way every time Brandi speaks! I just can't... Brandi starts to go down the road to Kyle or Lisa VP about lack of loyalty when Lisa VP tells Brandi that she is interfering with the sisters. WHY, or why does Yo continue to play the violin for Brandi? What does Brandi have on her? I can't imagine that David Foster hasn't demanded that Yo kick Brandi to the curb by now. It doesn't add up with the way Yo has been from day one about her high standards and not supporting ugly, drunk women.

Just watched the first look of the Reunion...Holy Cow!! It is explosive, that's for sure. These ladies are taking the gloves off. It reminds me more of a NJ or Atlanta style reunion.

When I watched Brandi at dinner with Dutch boy, all I could see was a female George, as in Avivas dad from RHONY. Like a hanger on with sexual issues, like Brandi hanging onto Lisa as she was leaving the boat and stopping her from leaving, like she was stopping Kyle at Eileen's house...that's like George harassing and grabbing Ramona and assuming the audience was impressed when confronting any of the housewives in this manner. I felt absolutely no sympathy when Brandi was on the table crying to Yolanda at the spa. In my opinion, I don't get thinking that Kyle should have known better than to invite Kim to Palm Springs or Palm Desert or wherever they were that night at Kyles vacation home. Kim is her sister no matter what and the issues don't make Kyle believe that Kim would be angry. She invited her to get away, without distractions of the kids to have one on one time with no possible interference from Brandi! She was probably thinking here's their chance to hang out like they used to and reminisce.

There was an episode where we see Brandi raising her concern for Kim with her friend Jennifer on the beach. Jennifer was giving Brandi advise about Kim's addiction issues because Brandi was asking her, on camera. She made it sound like Kim was a burden.

When Brandi was on the table on her spa day with Yo, did anyone see a line below her chin? I thought I did and I wasn't sure if that was a wrinkle line, a scar or a line from surgery? It could have been my imagination too! i don't think its slut shaming to talk about Brandis exploits, because Brandi talks and talks and talks about herself, in her blogs, on her pod casts, on the show about her conquests. She shames herself. I feel the same way if a man behaves the same way, it's pathetic for both. I might be Catholic, but "shaming" if that is what some want to call it, is coming from me towards Brandi based on the concern that people who behave like that spread diseases and give an impression that irresponsible, free sex has no consequences. Brandi believes in the myth that anything goes and "who cares" or "whatever" or "it's fun" and if you disagree you are a menopausal fun sucker. If you don't want snark, think about your behavior or get some skank friends and get off RHOBH. Brandi belongs on shows like Jersey Shore.

Jealousy and entitlement go hand and hand with Kim and is what Kim & Brandi have in common, they bond over their shared, self induced, misery. Jealous people annoy me to high Heaven. First, Kyle being Kim's sister, it's shameful that she resents Kyle & Mauricio's success. Kim can't blame Kyle for her lack of financial security. If she has nothing, she has no one to blame but the woman looking back at her in her mirror. It appears as if both Kathy & Kyle have helped her out but Kim keeps her hand out after she blows it, every time. I have always felt sympathy towards Kim as a long time fan. I wanted to like the real Kim. Much to my disappointment, behind the curtain, she's a mean, jealous, sad woman who chooses to wallow in her victim hood. While I know her circumstances were sometimes out of her control, she has had more help and support than most women who find themselves alone as a single mother. If she wanted to keep a house, she easily could have kept it if she didn't drink it or drug it away.

I think the Big Kathy thing is an old fashioned way of differentiating those in the family with the same name. On my mothers side of the family, we have a very large, Italian family. There were many sets of family members with the same name, so we said Big or Little Kathy for mostly women with same name. With the men, it was John for the elder and Johnny for the younger John, etc. It had nothing to do with a description, just clarifying which Kathy you are talking to or referring to...

Right, why not take what she can while she's still getting offers? It's not prostitution and these short term jobs pay well.Rinna has had many well paying gigs since Days...and as long as she can work and contribute to her family financially, why not? She looked her best, IMO, when she was on Melrose Place. I watched her on Soap Talk. Many TV actors pick up smaller parts over the years, no different than someone who contracts in Computers, insurance, banking to add to their retirement fund. They have 2 daughters yet to go to college and finance weddings, etc.

Exactly. This is why Brandi doesn't belong on this show. She has what I call opposite mind. What most people her age find desirable, Brandi finds it to be pathetic. What most people see as pathetic, Brandi sees fun & excitement. Brandi is a 42 year old woman/body who still thinks she's 17 with her 17 year old undeveloped brain and body of youth. Brandi and Kim are the twins of delusion. In Brandi's mind, her date with the baby boy toy fills her up the same way Lisa VP or Yolanda are thrilled and fulfilled when they are decorating their living room. I guess to each his own, but on this show, this makes Brandi the odd man out. Even Kim knows Brandi's dating habits are inappropriate...she just sticks up for Brandi because she has to as Brandi is currently Kim's only ally.

ITA I think Kyle has kept many details about Kim's secrets over the years in spite of the way Kim has been treating Kyle like a punching bag for so long. The house wasn't worth that much $ to begin with...if Kyle was lying, it can easily be disputed but nothing that supports Kim's claims have come to light after all these years. Kim just outed herself on this episode. If Kim's daughter was the Realtor, her daughter basically earned Kim's share with that commission. The profit was not that large and the improvements cost more than they got out of the house. Someone, not Kim, was paying the mortgage, taxes, utilities on that house. It seems to me that Kim is confusing her past contributions to the Richards coffers and believes everything was paid in full by her child star earnings only. She realizes that she has lost out dearly after at one time being the breadwinner, but she has only to look in the mirror as to the blame of her downfall. Kyle is her baby sister and doesn't appease Kim the way Kathy does and that is why she doesn't blame Kathy. Kim still thinks she lives in a time where she took care of Kyle. Now that the tables have turned she lashes out at Kyle and others instead of inside herself. Kathy is like a second mother to her that doesn't make Kim feel judged so she doesn't have anger issues with Kathy.

Re: Kyle on weight. I think she's always been honest about her struggle with weight and feeling insecure compared to others, living in the center of the self-centered! She has stated on the show that she has had lipo, she wasn't secretive about it. There was one episode where she was discussing how the rag mags were exaggerating how much lipo. She's mentioned a nose job on TV as well. Can you blame these ladies? Some of the comments about them I have read are rough. I think it's funny to make fun of her clothes, like the moo moos, because that's about bad taste, or hair styles, make up choices...However, I recall reading lots of comments about her stubby legs and back fat, which is her build and where fat settled on her body as she aged... Other than Brandi, with her lack of awareness and good taste, these ladies already know their strengths snd weaknesses after being on television because the world reminds them everyday of their "faults" in the body & face department. So, they will try to fix or erase any faults pointed out to them until they reach a point where they have done too much or wave the white flag when they no long care enough to focus on those issues.

I couldn't agree more! Looks like this episode is all about Brandi the victim. She is the aggressor & the perpetrator but in her delusion of Brandi's world, she's the one they all attack. She is her own worst enemy. These ladies, especially Lisa VP & Kyle have let things go and were willing to move on...Brandi is the one who continues to attack. She just doesn't fit in with these ladies, except with her new BFF Kim. She is acting all gangster, when she's not screaming, or crying to Yolanda. She's a perpetual child and if I had to work with her I would lose my mind. What shocks me is that some people would believe that Kyle should leave the show instead of Brandi or Kim!! In what world? The person causing the problems on this show are not named Kyle, Lisa R, Lisa VP, or Eileen. Brandi hasn't belonged from day 1, but Andy/Bravo loved the fireworks she brought to the show for that very reason.

Hi Tippytoes,My take differs from yours on the pot shop because I didn't think Kyle was being serious in the pot shop. I thought all the women saw the trip as a fun way to check out a pot cafe, which is unusual for most people and to just let their hair down and be goofy. Kyle said all the same things I would have said, as I joke around a lot...I didn't see this as an act, it appeared to me she was just trying to have a fun evening...which we as viewers need as a break from Brandis drama filled and anxiety producing presence! Brandi made me laugh, because the only time she expresses that the other ladies are embarrassing to her, is when it comes to violating the social mores of the drunk & restless, degenerate crowd. Brandi would make a scene at a ladies society luncheon and believe she's hilarious because they "society ladies" are hypocrites for wearing flowered dresses and using table manners. In her mind, the scene, be it her son urinating on the lawn or toilet paper stuck to her feet, that it's cruel if someone is embarrassed by her not employing standard etiquette...like Kyle likely would be...but if Kyle is teeheeing at a pot shop, that violates Brandis own made up code of ethics for appropriate behavior and THAT is the circumstance that would embarrass Brandi!! So, maybe Kyle was just trying to have fun with no stress with these ladies, for once! Whether Kyle has smoked pot or not is not relevant but yet Brandi wanted to be sure the viewers were made aware that Kyle was a smoker too...and that is apparently in dispute as well. Lisa VP admitted that she partook in similar activities but has the wherewithal to not believe that it is something to be loud & proud about in the same way as a job promotion, say, would make someone proud! Disclaimer: I never smoked pot (apparently some people, for some reason, find that hard to believe about anyone) but I did my share of drinking back in the college days, and acting like an idiot at times, but we all have to grow up. I could care less, and make no judgments on anyone who does smoke pot, as I don't care what others do...as long as they are not driving a school bus or selling it to one of my kids!! Brandi is just so twisted, that she doesn't see that she is the hypocrite of them all. She is the one who behaves in a way that makes it so difficult to stay friends with her. I think the ladies would love Brandi if Brandi was just herself, instead of an angry, bitter, tampon string hanging harpy. So, speaking for myself, Kyle was just trying to have some fun after enduring yet another Kim explosion. If I were Kyle, I would move to the East Coast or another country if that was my family!

After watching a second time, it appears to me that the "confrontation" was engineered by Kim and likely supported by Brandi and/or Yo. Kim seemed the most calm of all of the ladies at this point and IMO, if Kim was the truly the target of an intervention she would not be so calmly sitting back and relaxing in her chair. Yo started having "the conversations" that she wanted to have time & time again on this show. Lisa R, Eileen and Kyle looked shell shocked while Brandi, Yo and Kim were appearing to try to be the grown ups. Sorry, not buying what Brandi & Kim were selling...and why Brandi was so angry in the pot shop. Brandi wasn't getting the results she was hoping for...and she never will.

Sainted beings or not, it's their choice how to model as parents...and, no, not everyone experimented with all that is illegal. You also learn as an adult, that what you thought was a good idea as a teenager is not necessarily a good idea when you are a mature adult. This is getting into Brandis old tricks of "outing" information that isn't up to Brandi. She can be embarrassed all she wants, but the women who actually concern themselves with how this would look on film have a right to refrain without ridicule from the likes of Brandi. Brandi has embarrassed the other ladies enough, so who cares what she thinks? I know I don't care what the Queen of drinking, tweeting and all things over the top thinks is cool or would think of me if I was one of the others sitting there. Brandi was obnoxious with her temper tantrum on the street. All of these ladies have said/acted poorly on this show at some point, but Brandi is the winner of making the most questionable decisions, IMHO.

Hi BlackMamba, ITA and I'm glad Lisa VP voiced her support for Kyle with this matter. I believe, like other posters here have also mentioned, the Richards/Hilton family is the elephant in the Umamsky living room. As the whole world knows, the Hilton children, the behavior of big Kathy and Kims addictions are all out in the open. Normally, a family stands united and loyal in silence, but that train left the station a decade ago. It's time to drop the mask and admit the need for counseling and rehab. It's ok to do and it's healthier for all parties involved in the end. The anger aimed at Kyle is sorely misplaced. Kyle has a wonderful family unit and a huge support with her husbands family and with Kyles friends. Kathy Hilton & Kim should not be faulting Kyle with Kyle keeping her focus on her children, immediate family and day to day life. From what we have been shown on camera, although editing is involved, we see Kyle going above and beyond while Kim treats Kyle like dirt. Gosh, when my kids were little my family involvement was limited to holidays because we don't live in the same town, and my social life was limited to my neighbors and the parents I see at athletic events. Portia & Sophia are still young plus Kyle has a store. Give me a break. I'm happy to hear Kyle & Kim have taken another break. It's clear to see that the Richards are led by Kim & Kathys rules and Kyle is shunned when she doesn't toe the line.

Bahahahahaha! One of the best comments, evahhhhhhh! Spot on! Brandi outs herself and expects other parents to do the same, although in most cases, they don't come close to the Queen of hypocrisy known as Brandi. I have 2 kids that are just over 21 years old and a 19 year old. Most of us here know how difficult it is to raise teens, in the age of social media and I can't imagine how much worse it can be to have that task when you are in the frying pan of Hollywood. Fortunately, my husband & I are pretty boring so we don't have anything to hide from our children. However, just because you make certain adult choices...ahem...I'm talking to you Brandi...it is not hypocritical to want to set a good example for your children. Brandi is so stunted it is mind blowing to me! (See, You don't need to be high as a kite to feel your mind blowing!) As a parent, Kyle has a right to model as she sees fit and no one, like Brandi of all people, should out her or trash her on camera. Brandi, that's what we call discretion. Look it up in a dictionary. Just because your hippy parents raised you that way doesn't mean all other parents have to model for their children using them as an example. I can only wonder what was going through Yolanda's mind knowing how raw the Bella incident was to her.

hi Quinn, Yes, there was more to the story, I agree. My point in referencing this story was just to say that I wonder if there are other missing pieces that we are not privy too. I just was wondering out loud if there is some type of dislike for Eileen that we are not aware of...Brandi likely thinks she is the arbiter of justice when it comes to the second wives or trophy wives of cheating husbands. I'm searching for what's driving the animosity toward Eileen from Kim. Is there some friendship or connection to someone that dislikes Eileen just like Taylor was saying to Linda Thompson that she was on guard with Yo because of Linda's ex-husband now being with Yo.

Not too big of a deal, but remember when Kim invites Kyle to see her mother of the bride dress in her home? She was less than honest about how sick she was and that Kimberly & Chad had also been very sick...and contagious. Kyle was clear that she was going on a lavish vacation and didn't want to end up sick while away. Can you blame Kyle? If I was spending big bucks on a family vacation, I would avoid going to someone's home if they were that sick. Kim reminded me of those parents who will send sick & contagious kids to school because she has no concern for how it affects other people. I get how excited she was and she wanted to share the dresses with Kyle. It would certainly be a disappointment if everyone's sick just before the big day and but a damper on the festivities....However, she tricked Kyle into going there, was that for more airtime??

This season looks exciting. I love it when the cast is full. It's more interesting to me when we have more personalities in the mix. I'm not sure about the newbie. I also agree about Edie Falco/Sopranos comment. I think she's rough around the edges impersonating royalty in her own mind. It will be interesting seeing her interact with Sonja.

From the RHNY preview I saw, the newbie seems to be on the wrong show. RHONJ ladies come to mind when I see her in action. Not so sure how she made the cut!

Just saw a clip of Lisa VP as the surprise guest on WWHL with GiGi & Reza from Shahs of Sunset. Lisa looked absolutely fabulous in a beautiful, tasteful royal blue dress! That's the look she needs to go to for formal events.

Exactly, who knows the source. We all know that Brandi believes everything she reads...she just has to pay $9.99 for incorrect information! Radar Online is usually wrong BTW. Rags are rags but they get their info right half the time. Whether the source is Kyle or gossip rags/site, both Brandi and Kim know from their own personal experience that stories are exaggerated and/or concocted out of thin air.
