OMG Bethany Frankel shut the fuck up. What successful relationship have you had to judge or critique someone else's? What an asshole. Good for Dorinda for standing up for herself. I've always been a fan but enough is enough Bethenny. I pumped my fist in the air as Dorinda went toe to toe with her. No one mentioned it but I liked when Dorinda said she may have to stop hanging out with these ladies; I guess meaning she'd quit the show--wow. What's really going on with Bethany and John? Is John too much like looking in the mirror for her? If Bethany were a fat man she'd be John--the crude mouth, a little too loud, not that attractive...sounds like Bethany to me. I've had plenty of girlfriends with shitty boyfriends and I held my tongue. If there is abuse including bleeding you dry financially I'd absolutely step in but there's no evidence of that. If John originally got together with her for her connections that's not okay, but obviously there's more to it as they've been together for awhile. He runs a pretty successful business so I don't understand all the pearl clutching to begin with. I don't think Dorinda needs a man around I think she genuinely loves John. He's unattractive and a little rough but as long as I'm not invited into a threesome I don't care. I don't like Ramona; never have. I tend to blurt exactly what I'm thinking too but never the hurtful shit Ramona says. If pressed I bet she'd have to admit she's been cussed out by every girlfriend she has. If someone told her Mario had a girlfriend as they were walking down the street I bet that was an old score being settled in addition to breaking the news. I like RHONY because they can fight without security needing to step in but this whole storyline is going to backfire on the Bethany redemption arc. And if I neglected to say it earlier she should really shut the entire fuck up.

First episode of season 3 is available on the Showtime app

Lydia AND PF are delusional. Listening to Lydia go on about Dubai was ridiculous. However the comment that stuck out for me was Janet saying Gamble should hang out and seek friendship from their little group when she's tormented Gamble from the very beginning. In fact every time Janet opens her mouth I shout "shut up scarecrow" at the TV. Janet should really stop doing things to her face--you're never gonna look 20 again (unless you get Susan Lucci or Demi Moore's surgeon).

Umm so that discussion of feminism was cringeworthy. Jack and Diane are the best part of the show for me sometimes.

Dawn Ward is a bit full on. She's rude. I don't think I'll be watching regularly anymore; there's no one to root for. I really like the new ladies but they don't fit in with this group at all. I think Leanne is finding it very awkward to defend Dawn's antics.

I don't know/care who is on which team but not holding Kenya accountable for her aggression, provocation and violence is just downright unfair. Even after I posted about Kenya grabbing Nene's ear--crickets. Yeah but I don't and I would was my point. And I'll be honest I've been a Phaedra-stan since this epic read https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3f6J794i0k

Porsha's efforts to get her temper under control were actually obvious in her interactions with Claudia last season. Claudia's constant demands for friendship and invading Porsha's space were awful. Kenya has been on a mission to get Porsha off this show since "gone with the wind fabulous". And while I can see people thinking it's unconscionable to get into a physical altercation unless in self defense, NOBODY calls me a whore and walks away unless I am indeed fucking your husband. As Cedric the Entertainer said "I wish a motherfucker would". I want to know what it is about Kenya that elicits such overwhelming defense. She's vile. When she put her hands on Nene no one said a word. She aggressively goes after Kim and pulls her chair--nothing. If it is wrong for Porsha to throw hands it is equally wrong of Kenya to be aggressive. If I were Porsha's friend I would advise her that every time Kenya is nasty to her respond with either of the following: "I'm sorry it upsets you that I'm prettier than you" "I won my 8th grade pageant back when you won Miss Universe. We're both winners! Have a blessed day." ETA : Either I wasn't clear or Porsha-hate is so strong that it causes everyone to miss point

It's getting harder to watch this franchise when the women in Melbourne do it so much better. They go after each other viciously for lying and being phony yet manage to keep their hands to themselves. So they've all decided they want Porsha off the show so they pretend they're afraid of her, but they weren't afraid of Nene all those years? I find that very hard to believe. Kenya is a liar, stealth bully and a full on asshole. Her entire demeanor towards Kim and her husband as well as Porsha is disgusting. The dragging on social media isn't enough for her nasty, trifling, thirsty ass. Now that she's got a man and Apollo's in jail we can look forward to the "Oh you're all alone" shade next season. It gets glossed over but it's important that Phaedra extended friendship to Kenya initially and got a man-hungry demon for her trouble. I need Vivica Fox to moderate these reunions or someone else fully equipped to shut the interruptions and deflections down. Hey Kandi, Apollo sent the Feds to your house by being a damn criminal. What kind of idiot holds stuff for someone under federal investigation/indictment? It's unfortunate that the friendship between Kandi and Phaedra is done. I guess Apollo gets Kandi and Todd in the divorce settlement--good riddance. There's something really selfish about taking Apollo's side instead of supporting your friend. From the outset Kandi and Todd made the entire Apollo situation about them, their feelings and opinions. I bet Todd's mom got a nice send off thanks to Phaedra's mortuary connections. There was a moment though when Kandi and Phaedra both realized the friendship was over after Kandi said she did think Phaedra called the feds. Sad

So are we to forget the big cheater speech she gave Fitz when she first became VP? The show hasn't quite jumped the shark but it's approaching the ramp IMO. It's funny that we can't take nasty, backroom politics in our TV shows but watch them unfold in real life all the time. The way they write Mellie is borderline offensive to anyone whose watched this show from the beginning. Her constant ranting doesn't appeal to me at all. I can get rant-y but Mellie is just TOO MUCH. I'm glad Marcus reeled her in. Speaking of Marcus I hope we get better comeback lines than "Whatever". Is Mellie's behavior supposed to remind us of Hillary? I don't think Huck killed the convict, think that was a favor from Fitz.

I really enjoy politics I'm surprised this show hasn't received more attention. I wish there were more discussion.

That's rich coming from the person who started on this show with a shady. former drug dealer boyfriend who was killed during the off season. What's so frustrating is there have been two normal, intelligent, poised women on this show and in both cases they were called boring so I wish folks would be honest about what they want to see. Everyone knows Kenya goes after Porsha because Porsha is younger and prettier. She's jealous that people seem to genuinely like Porsha. Kid Fury (of The Read podcast) really laid into them all for their comments about Chris.

I never understood why she didn't make Porsha an ally. They were both new. Porsha trying to hook Kenya up with Kordell's buddies would have been a great storyline for them both, but Kenya is so caught up in her persona as "Miss USA" she loses before she can get out the gate. A gracious beauty queen would have said "that's okay girl it was the 90s" and just made a self-effacing joke out of Porsha's title mix up. Porsha could have been a perfect dim, beautiful wingman who humanized Kenya as well-meaning, but awkward due to her lack of a primary female role model. Kenya should learn from Lisa Vanderpump and Gina Luciano two villains who kept their audience support and their HBIC status while throwing shade left and right--they gotta love you in order to forgive you.

Nene would have done that big honking laugh and just said "Krayonce there she go" because she's been to anger management on Bravo's dime as well. Wow Maybe..but better to do what needs to be done to take care of your family than to desperately declare yourself "the star" of said reality show

Tell me again about Mellie's political acumen. Please tell me again how smart Mellie is and how the show should center her pathetic ass. Can we get back to Liv being a badass now please? I see Quinn is still an ungrateful bitch...gah. At least Annalise keeps bitches in line. Time for HTGAWM
