Agreed, overall. Definitely not as screechy! There’s no need to yell, Unfortunately, we had Kary constantly inserting herself and interrupting when others were speaking and I wanted to yell Shut up at her a few times. Of course, Leeanne responds with the finger! They were quieter if you measured the decibel levels, but at the same time, annoying IMO.

Interesting, the two unhappy girls at the reunion, Kary and Leeanne, both looked terrible. The crimped hair, orangey tone of the red color hair/dress. Leeanne looked the worst I’ve ever seen her and she’s beautiful. She looks like she was worn and torn mentally. She’s a troubled woman. Kary had the strangest eye shadow colors, and she did look like she had bloodshot eyes. It was like she just walked off a Halloween movie set. Not good. Eeeeek! She’s Angry, bitchy Spice! (Brandy Granville tm) D’Andrea looks best when she wears less makeup. When is she going to figure that out. Stephanie looked absolutely gorgeous, as always.

ITA! What was more interesting to me was in the WWHL Aftershow, Andy asked the ladies that if they had a choice, what housewife would you replace on your show and what housewife from another show would you swap her with? Brandy answered that she would swap out Kam. Really?! Not Leeanne that you think was at best inappropriate and at worst racist?! Or...does that mean she didn’t consider that Leeanne was still in the mix?

Word on the street, is that Kary became pregnant when Eduardo was still married to wife #1. He did not have children with his first wife. So, he went from divorce, to becoming a dad to Isabella, and stepdad to Kary’s three children when they married. A good friend of Leeanne is very close to wife #1. (the good friend is Kim Gatlin, the creator of GCB) Usually, the saying goes, if he will cheat with you, he will eventually cheat on you with someone else. I find it so odd that when Kary came on the show she was 1)quick to discuss her discomfort with Eduardo over finances 2)clearly had a strategy to aggravate Leeanne. I have to wonder what was going through Eduardo’s mind when he watched what Kary had to say about him. Something is off with her.

I agree with your take. Tamra dishes it out, so I don’t really feel sorry for her. It’s Karma. However, it was truly shitty of Kelly to not only tweet about it, she contacted Jim, according to Shannon, texting Jim (so, direct contact with him) to tell him she would be willing to help him with dirt on Tamra. No, Kelly didn’t cause the lawsuit, but it was mean spirited of her to offer dirt, which could be used as ammunition, for Bellino’s court case against Tamra/Shannon. I don’t know anyone who wouldn’t be angry with their friend if they tried to hurt you, by offering to help a plaintiff while you’re in the middle of a lawsuit as the defendant. Shannon most certainly didn’t deserve Kelly’s interference. Tamra, Vicki and Kelly are willing to go too far to hurt others. Those three are crazy and over the top. I think Kelly and Leeanne from RHOD are a lot alike, they push everyone and everything with how low they go. They both have the capacity to be good people but hurt themselves when they continually lash out at everyone.

Yup. That’s THE issue with the real housewives shows on Bravo. For the most part, “society women” refuse to participate in these shows. With a few exceptions, most are just posers. Just think of how many have been exposed for (lack of) money issues? Heidi is well known in Dallas and has real coin, but is she really what we think of when you think of high society? Even Heather D, fancy pants, had a humble upbringing. Instead, Bravo shows us the Lynn Curtins of the world that can’t really afford to live behind the gate! Maybe LVP and definitely to the manor born, Adrienne Maloff are the real deal. Andy can’t seem to snag Kathy Hilton, but takes Kyle and Kim. Brandi Granville blew the facade up because Bravo loves the dirt she unearthed. Supposedly Karen Huger is married to the “black Bill Gates” as she likes to say. Show us the money Karen. The fighting gets real ugly on these shows. Bravo will never convince certain women to come on these shows for that reason alone.

Agreed! I think about everyone’s gifts and potential and how some people have been used, abused and discarded to the curb. From my POV, it’s great to be adventurous and an explorer, but it is still smart to be street savvy and cautious of your environment. That poor girl, Tessa Majors, only 18 and a frosh Barnard College student, stabbed by 13 and 14 year old kids. Not to mention those killed in/by the Jewish deli in Jersey City a few days ago. You are right, this stuff happens. Maybe if people stopped attending such shows, there would be no need for recruiting/trafficking human beings. The last two episodes turned my stomach.

I was actually surprised they didn’t select Pam Martin Duarte or give more time to Heidi Dillon, beyond being Leeanne’s friend on RHOD. I liked Bon, but I did not like her daughter. Bon was kind of fun. Leslie is the one that reminded me of Laurie Peterson before George. I’m pretty sure Pam was/is friends with D’Andrea Simmons. Heidi D is very influential and she’s supported Leeanne for a long time. Wonder if any of those alliances will now change? If you recall, some of the ladies bickered over who was closer to Leeanne on Big, Rich Texas. Season 2? Heidi and Leeanne were in the The Fashionistas, and lots of Dallas women, at that time, wanted to be involved but were not selected. Heidi is involved in Dallas charities and television production. Supposedly, she was influential in casting Dallas, Divas and Daughters. That show morphed into Big, Rich Texas. Then, we see Heidi pop up in the background as Leeanne’s friend on RHOD.

I haven’t seen the Deuce, so I just watched the trailer. Yes, this is what I’m referring to, the seedy factor. Thanks for pointing it out, it looks good. I grew up in a world where children are very sheltered, in the mindset of, “nothing good happens after midnight” if you know what I mean! A more gradual introduction to the world. Yes, carnival life can’t be pleasant. Every time Leeanne mentions it though, I think of the movie the Jerk, with Steve Martin. Nathan had to grow up and adjust quick!!😂😆

Leeanne was a secondary character on Big, Rich Texas. She was only on the show a few episodes, I think...it was a long time ago. From what I remember, she was someone portrayed as someone important in “Dallas society” and the main characters argued over who Leeanne was a close friend to in the group. One of the ladies left because her husband thought it was a low rent show. (Yup!) There were 3 seasons. What’s striking, is her persona was very different than how we see her on RHOD. During season 1 of RHOD, it made sense that Leeanne was highlighted as a society, charity queen, and Brandi felt less than, because that followed where Big, Rich Texas left off, so to speak. Once D’Andrea and Leeanne started to differ, we now see a very different Leeanne. Interesting. She was a fairly successful model. Was she a poser early on as it seems? The animosity with D’A and the grifting behavior for her wedding indicates that’s the real Leeanne. It really makes me wonder again about the age old question for the Bravo housewives shows. Is there a loose script or not??? Are they playing a part?

That’s the point I was making KWCK. You say your roommate laughed at the thought...that’s their opinion. Leeanne, or whomever may have a different opinion. My example was NYC. Let’s just say not wanting to go to that area is not everyone’s cup of tea... Leeanne clearly has issues. I think Travis was an idiot for advocating that they go there, but’s that’s my opinion.

But... that’s their opinion, not everyone’s opinion of the area. I live in Manhattan. A lot of my friends hate NYC, I don’t. Some visit us when they are here for work, but not many of them would want to live here. Other friends tell me they think We are lucky to live here. It’s all subjective, what you like. Some people don’t think NYC is safe, it feels safe where I live.... They don’t think it’s bad, doesn’t mean I’m wrong if I think it’s bad. Bloomberg recently highlighted “dangerous” places to travel, that they deem safe. My reaction was shock. That’s dangerous advice IMO. First thing they mentioned, was not to concern yourself with US State department travel warnings. No thanks. No, Pakistan is not safe!! Idiots. Go for it. However, if you throw caution to the wind, don’t ridicule those who play it safe. This talk just makes me wish I went to Hong Kong before the more recent troubles.

I have been to Thailand, Japan and Singapore, only in that part of the world. Thailand is on the bottom of my list for places I’ve traveled. Singapore was my favorite. Everyone is different. I just don’t think you have to go into “tourist” areas to fully experience a country. My husband has been on work trips all over, I usually go with him, but I have declined based on where he was going in the country. He’s been to India well over a dozen times and I have absolutely no interest based on his experience, and the first hand experience of several Indian-Americans that now are US citizens. I’ve been in several countries in Western Europe. I’m a resort girl, not an authentic nature girl when traveling. Nature preserve? Yes. Sketchy area? No. I also went to Cape Town once, but only because a friend who was born there was our host. We stayed with their family that still lives there. He’s very aware of what is/what isn’t safe. South Africa is changing and safety is becoming a major issue there nowadays. We never would have gone if we didn’t go there with someone from there, who is on top of what’s going on. With that said, bad things happen everywhere...like what just happened in Jersey City, right near a school. I am just a cautious person. Zip lining and parasailing in the Caribbean is my limit on bring adventurous!!

Propositioned by a Hasidic Rabbi?? That’s hilarious! Yes, on this show the ladies are with the Bravo crew. I guess my point is just that female Americans aren’t so smart going to places like that on their own in Thailand. It’s a big deal, not just some routine tourist spot that a typical American female or family would think of as a good idea, IMO. Times Square is not in the same conversation, or shouldn’t be...

There was a rich lady by marriage and her teen daughter, a female physician who was self made (Bonnie?) and the other lady that was in the center reminded me of early RHOC Laurie Peterson before she met the “wallet” George. Leeanne was portrayed as a society, beauty queen who was entrenched in Dallas fashion society. They would drag Leeanne into their fights. What a reversal of roles for Leeanne in how she is seen on RHOD.

I lose track of time. When I was a child in the 1960s and 1970s, Times Sq was a no-no amongst many as a place to you wanted to go. You are right, 1990 is different than 1970. It was beginning to change over in the 1980s. Wasn’t it a similar strategy to the Disneyfication of Vegas more recently??

I hear you Mondrianyone...I should have been more specific, but it wasn’t considered an attractive place as a tourist destination as it does now. I meant no offense, I was just trying to say relating Times Sq to the Red light district is not a good comparison. I was just saying that perhaps in those earlier years, it was more similar. I still don’t think that’s apples to apples either way. These are American women, putting themselves in an unsavory area traveling abroad. I would walk through Times Sq alone now, but would never walk, even with girlfriends, into a red light district in Thailand, especially at night.

Does anyone remember the reality show Big, Rich Texas? Leeanne was featured on that show. Wonder if that’s one of her producing credits? It’s funny because Leeanne was seen as the “society” lady that these women wanted to be friendly with...like it was a competition as to who was closer friends with Leeanne. Now Im wondering if Leeanne wrote the scripts!! OMG%!

I would say 30-40-50 years ago, no self respecting female American wanted to walk alone through Times Square, as it was almost as bad as the red light district in Thailand. In my book, that’s seedy. Now, it’s somewhat respectable in Times Square as more family friendly restaurants, stores and shows are now the center of attention over the risqué goings on in the area. I don’t think you can compare 2019 Times Square to 2019 red light district in Thailand. Times Square is just annoying, bright and too busy now but much safer. Police are everywhere, including a police station smack in the middle of the area. I avoid it like the plague only because it’s busy .I often take the subway to 42nd, but walk towards Bryant park immediately and then head to my destination. I would compare the red light district to be more like what goes on in border towns like Tijuana and Juarez. Although now, it’s more dangerous than it was 30-40 years ago. I’ve been to both in the 1980s and it’s not safe to go anymore. I think Kary is not a good judge of what’s safe/not safe. I question if she has a brain. She acts like a stubborn teenager. I can’t believe she took her daughter there with no men. No thanks. Leeanne may have been correct in her assessment of the situation, but as others have said, safety was likely not what was driving her attitude and poor behavior, it was her out of control anger. It will be interesting to see the conversation on the subject at the reunion and if Leeanne is asked back to the show.

Oh my gosh, thank you for posting her IG post. That’s so funny!😆😎

I can’t manage to Link social media posts like you, but did you see Kam on the subway escalator, looked like she was at Penn station, wearing this pink coat and hat?? It was freezing today, and there’s Kam, the tall, hot pink delicate girl on the subway, smiling, while everyone else is decked out in black and grey winter parkas,hats and gloves, looking grouchy, cold and disheveled. It was hilarious.

Lordy, I was disappointed any of the ladies went to any of those shows, especially Kam. I think it’s disgusting behavior and I don’t understand why anyone wants to subject themselves to shows like the two the ladies viewed that night, in a sketchy part of town. No thanks. I think Leeanne is too toxic to remain on this show. I do hope that Kary also gets the boot.

Vicki and Tamra were saying that they didn’t know who Hemingway was, while Shannon was playing with her phone. I bet Shannon could have named more of Hemingways novels then Kelly if put to a test!! And...Kelly with the For Whom the BellS Toll, not For Whom the Bell Tolls?? Kelly was googling!! Did anyone else notice Shannon had her nose in her phone frequently when the other ladies are talking about others? Wonder if that’s a strategic move when the cameras are rolling? She was doing it on the night cruise and the parasailing trip. If so, I would highly recommend other housewives utilizing that strategy in similar situations. Agreed, how funny that Ryan looked proper and Spencer looked like a wild child?!

I was repulsed watching this episode. Why on Earth would mature, adult women want to participate (paying audience) to any of those shows! Gross! Why?!! I also agree it’s stupid to travel to sketchy parts of town, especially overseas. Why does Kary need to bring her young daughter to such a place? Is this why she’s mad at Eduardo? She’s has to buy Gucci knock offs? Oh my, the inhumanity!! 🙄 It was so nice to see the animals being taken care of that were abused, the one highlight of this show. Leeanne is s much like Kelly Dodd. They both behave like abused animals.

Kelly blew it! At the beginning of the season she was getting along great with Shannon and Tamra. If she played along and just chilled over the Vicki stuff, Shannon would still be sticking up for her. She doesn’t think, needles Shannon, and what do you know? Vicki is now more relevant to Shannon and Tamra. Tamra is the shit stirrer and Kelly is too emotional to behave like a normal person.
