RealHousewife

I wondered that too. I went from being suspicious of Luis, to finding him surprisingly likable and charming, to being concerned about his temper. It is a good sign that his sisters, Teresa's daughters and even Juicy all like him. Teresa isn't always my favorite Housewife, but she has been through enough. I hope he is an okay dude and doesn't hurt her. Dolores did a wonderful job with her kids. They are so lovely.

You mean bubbies?

Same. It was a very moving scene. Yup. Not like seeing Kyle Richards cry for the thousandth time.

So Peggy grew up in the US but has an accent and doesn't understand common expressions? Is she a "child of the world" a la Dorit?

Kelly Dodd is one of the meanest women in the whole franchise. She makes Kyle Richards look angelic.

lol! Phaedra's baby is adorable. Apollo is pretty cute too. I think he's one of the most handsome men in the franchise.

I know that's right. She can't threaten to come for the prosecutor either. I wonder if she'll wear waterproof mascara.

lol! I will stake take her over Kyle.

Yes, Stanbury is charismatic.

I've only seen a bit of the show. I will have to binge through one of these days, but that's my impression of Schwartz. He seems like one of the sweeter people in the cast, just not someone I'd date.

Yes! This annoys the hell out of me. Why do I need to share what I'm there for with the front desk with a bunch of people nearby?!

lol I go through the same thing with Two Ts. Sometimes I'll really enjoy it if they discuss RHOM or something not BH, but Teddi annoys me discussing BH. She's so biased towards Kyle and against Garcelle and Sutton. She should at least have on a host who's not also a Kyle stan.

Since Cynthia isn't on RHOA anymore, I'd love it if she replace one of those annoying women on RHOBH.

Attractive women can be some of the most insecure. Kelly was constantly lauded for her looks. Maybe Jennie felt pressure because her character was supposed to be THE beauty, and there were all these other beautiful women on set. Do you know if she had any issues with Rebecca Gayheart? I know she was on the show pretty briefly, but she was absolutely stunning. I always enjoyed Shannen's acting and had a soft spot for her. Maybe it's because she reminds me of a childhood friend of mine. I hate that she didn't get to stay on 90210 and then on Charmed. Right now, of course I wish her health more than anything.

Meghan's baby is sooo cute!

Yup. For all their flaws, I like that the rest of the women showed Guerdy compassion. I generally like Julia, Nicole, and Kiki. Adriana, Alexia and Marysol can drive me crazy, but they appear to care about other human beings.

I'm also over the sister drama. How many years are we going to keep hearing about it? It's been 13 seasons of Kyle talking about Kim and Kathy. Enough already. Everyone already figured that Rick didn't pay Mauricio his worth but that Mauricio did indeed poach. I don't think either side is perfect. Kyle would be all for talking about it if all fault was solely on the Hilton side. She wanted to shut that down that conversation just as much as she didn't want to talk about Mauricio's lawsuit where he looked SHADY AF. What WOULD have been interesting is Kyle addressing what Paris said! I would have also liked to see someone Kyle call out on her hypocrisy with pushing Denise to talk about what goes on in her bedroom but being all indignant when people want to know about the marriage she's bragged about for 13 years. I also wish someone called her out for going hard on Lisa Vanderpump when she was grieving a great loss but expecting to be treated with kid gloves when she's grieving. At least no one told her they "have shit going on too."

Yup. Actions speak louder than words.

Same. Rinna threatened to f**k up Kim Richards via text. I'd say she and Erika are the most scary BH cast members. I'm sure Kathy has a side that isn't pretty. Most of us do, not so sure I can see her as this thug, but who knows.

Maybe they should just can the new cast and bring back the old cast minus Leah.

I agree. Teddi blurted out the rumor, and Rinna was probably particularly hurtful because they were friends prior to the show. But Kyle clearly had Brandi and Kim over to make this a storyline and proceeded to push the story. She was really awful to Denise, and none of the other women or Andy called her out on her hypocrisy this season being all indignant of others wanting to know what's going on in her bedroom.

Same. The Gorgas don't have Teresa's meanness or same level of aggression. Teresa is an awesome Housewife. Her life is always crazy. She's unpredictable. Unintentionally or not, she is funny. She has beautiful "dorters." But the way she treats others is really not a good look. I was disappointed that the Gorgas weren't there for the girls when Juicy was away the way they said, but if I were to pick a friend group, it would still be them. I'm glad Joe Guidice's family was there for them. Those girls have been through a lot. As much as I prefer the Gorgas to Teresa, the fact even Gabriella spoke up after all these years speaks volumes. I will give Teresa and Joe this, I think they're loving parents, and that's part of why their kids are protective of them.

Quoting myself to say Guerdy said in an interview (Two Ts, don’t judge), that all her cast friends were there for her during her cancer battle, and even Alexia and Marysol checked in on her multiple times a week. The two who apparently didn’t were Larsa and Lisa.

Same. I'm sure Garcelle wasn't disappointed to leave early, but I don't think she's scared of any of them. She and Sutton are also actual friends and not "Hollywood friends," as Yolanda would say, so I think Garcelle went because she wanted to be there for her friend. I'm glad Sutton is okay.

I like Teresa as a Housewife, but Joe and Melissa both come across as nicer people to me. I'm not saying their behavior is necessarily perfect, but Teresa is not only a criminal, she has more of a mean streak and temper than either of them, at least on the show. Her treatment of Margaret alone the last couple seasons was horrific between encouraging Danielle to pull her hair, throwing a plate of food on her unprovoked, repeatedly fat shaming, blaming her for every little thing. Teresa's good TV, but someone I'd hate to have as a sister or sister-in-law. I did get uncomfortable watching the way Gia spoke to her uncle. I get that she feels protective of her father, but still. That's exactly it. Jennifer repeatedly slut shamed Margaret and acted like cheating was the worst thing you could ever do in life, but Bill was an award-winning husband. What Joe and Teresa did was wrong, but I still feel bad for Joe and the girls. America was the only country he knew. Does he have anyone at all in the Bahamas? We can take that to another thread so we don't get OT . . . Jackie is probably too normal for the show. Her biggest storylines have been her eating disorder and the rumors about Evan. I had anorexia many years ago. I still struggle with body image, but I'm so grateful I've been healthy for many years and didn't battle it anywhere near the number of years Jackie has. But I still don't love watching endless scenes of someone struggling. It's depressing and not the fun escapism I watch the Housewives for. I hope Jackie is doing better. And then with Evan, Jackie was so devastated, you would have thought she just found out he did in fact cheat or something. I would be emotional if there were damaging rumors about me too, but I know better than to join a reality show. You need a thicker skin to be a Housewife, and you can't shut down stuff the way Jackie wants to. I've said before that I like that Melissa is pretty normal, and a cast full of Teresas wouldn't work. But we can't have a cast of Melissas and Jackies either. Melissa will naturally be part of the family drama, but Jackie doesn't have that.
