How exactly did it come to pass that it was Brooks Marks that Brittani was crying to about Angie? Did she seek him out or was he patrolling the grounds? Did not seem like a fake set up at all.

Lisa to Brittani, re: her slutty hair — Oh don’t Let her hurt your feelings! But just so you know, you do need Keratase Thermatique. The absolute GOAT of this series. Whitney showing up in a fake fur coat and a clip on French twist. Le sigh. A big mazel to Meredith, who looked amazing.

100% girl code violation. Felony level. Stupid Kyle! ____ Also there's too much invoking of Tedd's name in this thread. It may get the bots or algos or robots to think we care and that she's regaining popularity. That risks bringing her back. Maybe we could use a nickname when referring to her, like Dumpy or Frumpy.

Kyle saying that they were never great friends is proof of what a gas lighting narcissist she is: We all thought they were great friends because she went out of her way to give us and Dorit the impression that they were great friends. Kyle made friends with Dorit because she needed her in her anti LVP campaign. I've recently had to subscribe to a streaming service because the channel I watch the HWs on has decided to stop carrying the HW shows (strongly worded letter to follow) anyhoo -- because I have this streaming, I started rewatching season one. That was the season that Kyle and Camille had the huge dramatic fallout (You're such a liar, Camille!"). The fallout was not that big a deal to Kyle UNTIL Camille texted Kyle that she and Kelsey would no longer be using Mauricio as their realtor. I think, at the time, the viewers were kind of focused on what a bitch move that was on Camille's part, but what should have received more attention was how Kyle was suddenly very motivated to make up with Camille, and did, because there was something in it for her. That's Kyle. She's a user and always has been. Also, in that first season, Lisa was so kind to Kyle and so supportive of her.

Meredith's was less clip in bangs and more 1970s style toupee. I assume she has access to the internet. And a mirror. So, it fascinates me that she'd leave the house looking like that.

You really have a point about Mary, Pricelina. She's a lesson in why hubris is a sin. I do feel sad about her son though. Meredith's family -- the scene of them all talking in the kitchen. They were all like a combo of Jennifer Coolidge's character in Best In Show merged with Tina from Bob's Burgers. It's like an affected, intentional fake vapidity. I'm fascinated by it!

Ah, Simon. I wish we could get those two back. I was new to HW shows back then and didn't realize what we had til it was gone.

That situation had a bit of a fake drama stink I thought, but that doesn't change the fact that the new girl is coming in way too hot. I don't know if it's true that Bronwyn has been gunning to get on the show for years, but it wouldn't shock me to find out she has. I liked her at first, but I like her less with each episode. Her clothes, her house, her furmiture makes me think of The Emperor's New Clothes. She should have invited Heather. It's what one does!

There's nothing any one of them could do that would ever allow me to forgive them for calling themselves the Fox Force Five. Unforgivable!

I've always wondered how he could be so apparently chill about his home being broken into, wife being held hostage at gunpoint, with his very small children in the other room. His attitude has always come across as "get over it". But that's a lot to get over. Just always came across as really weird to me,

How's everyone ranking the HWs this season? Mine: 1. Lisa (duh!) 2. Meredith 3. Mary 4. Heather 5. Bronwyn 6. Angie 7. Whitney

Number one question: does anyone else find it weird that you really don't hear the name Bronwyn, like ever, in real life, but you hear it alot of RH shows. Speaking of, this new Bronwyn is making that first year mistake of being too taken with herself. She's FASHION everyone, FASHION. She has way too many opinions of people she just met and a too changing opinion of old friends. Don't care for. She appears to be trying to garner sympathy for a favourable divorce settlement. But, her husband would be coming across as a way bigger asshole if he were wrong. And, maybe the worst, her daughter and her daughter's bio dad and family drama on tv. These women go low, but this is a new one, imo. I don't want to go too far out on a limb here, but I am beginning to suspect that Angie may be Greek? It's hard to be sure though because she never talks about it. Whitney, for me, is more and more unlikeable every season. She's at about a half Rinna right now. That dramatic storm out by Meredith -- pure gold! The hand gestures, the accent change, the elegant glide to the door. Who could ask for more?

I just binge watched a bunch of these episodes after realizing that they were available to watch because th Canadian tv channel I watch them on, "Slice" (forever a pox on your house) decided to not air this or RhoBh anymore. So please forgive me if I am mixing up some episodes. For me, Lisa Barlow just cinched a spot in top three greatest HWs of all time with her complete freak out about flying home on a 47 minute flight in "coach", when there are four, FOUR, non coach seats on a plane. And if that's not enough, she ops it off with by saying something like "Coach, don't wear it, don't fly it!" How am I the only one seeing the majesty here?! Oh and the fact that she's back friends with Meredith again!? Beyond stoked about that! Meredith's family! The kids! There's enough vibration coming off their vocal fry to power a small city! I can't get enough. I'm reminded of the first season when Lisa pretended not to remember Heather from high school, except for "remembering" that Heather would lift her top over her head at parties. Then Lisa and Meredith would sit together and talk and ignore everyone else, and if someone approached them, would look at the approaching HW with a "why are you talking to me" look. Lisa Barlow for the win!

I so agree about Katie. I like her, but I think she's making that classic first season mistake, where she acts like she's so chill and above all the drama, while simultaneously and immediately starting drama. This is never a good look imo, and if she doesn't do a quick about face, she's headed into Teddi Mellencamp territory. And Teddi had the added benefit of a celebrity dad and a strong fan hatred of Dorit, who Teddi was up against early on. Katie doesn't really have that. Heather's not hugely popular, but I don't think she's as hated as Dorit was back then. So I don't see Katie as having a very wide berth here. But, she has avoided the other first seasoner classic mistake of frosty pink eye shadow, so kudos on that.

Why must there always be a Diary Room yeller? Is this a trait they look for? Hoping Quinn gets a deep conditioner in his HoH basket. I have a terrible feeling that somehow Angela is going to goat herself to the end, and then, in a shockingly WTF!? move, a spiteful jury is going to goat her into the win. Putting this down here as a counter jinx ;)
