Andy is the worst judge of character. I'm feeling a bit irrational right now so I'm going to blame him for everything that's wrong with Bravo and the people they hire. You can't tell me his fingerprints aren't all over the culture of that place. It's interesting that they filmed Pete creeping out Bugsy, talking down to Malia and patronising her with his 'sweetheart' crap and needing to get reamed by Sandy twice but they still kept him around until the end of the season. Like they didn't fire Ashton after he raged out on Below Deck even though production was there and had it on film. Misogyny is all good until one of your cast posts a revolting image of a black woman in bondage and doubles down. It was nice barely seeing him this episode, though. And Kiko must be protected at all costs. Back off, Yawn!

I agree. We've all experienced loss. Nobody gets a perfect death where there is no guilt or regret for things you didn't do. Yes, his mum's death was preventable in the sense that she didn't NEED lipo or whatever it was and I'm sure that is a heavy burden. But we all have them and we don't have the opportunities or the money to get help that he does. I think my give a damn is busted because of his other behaviour that we aren't allowed to talk about here. You have kids and people who count on you? Take your damn meds.

Gia's nose job is terrible. It has changed her entire face and not for the better. She was beautiful before. Now she looks like Milania with her face melted. Did we learn nothing from Jennifer Grey? Thats terrible about the judge. Humanity can just fuck off as far as I'm concerned.

What do you think would happen if Kim left him? I blame Kanye for her and her vile family gaining legitimacy- do you think she'd lose it if she left? Keeping Met ball invitations would definitely be a reason for her to ride it out. Kanye is just the worst. I have a lot of sympathy for mentally ill people but there comes a point when you need to take responsibility for yourself and take your fucking medication. It's not as if his creative output while manic is any good. I've seen his fashion line. I'm concerned about this behaviour affecting his family. Well, his kids. I don't give a crap about it affecting the Klan.

I think it's one of those things that is really hard to do if they aren't physically a danger to themselves. A friend of mine is bipolar and I remember the first time I saw her have an episode. We took her to emergency. We called the cops and they came round. We kept saying to anyone who would listen that she wasn't like this and this wasn't normal behaviour for her and all we heard was 'until she hurts herself or someone else'.... It was infuriating. Kanye seems to be in that stage- clearly losing it but not violent. And let's face it, Kim probably got distracted by her reflection and forgot she even has a husband.

Mario is skeevy but I have some sympathy for him in regards to being married to Ramona. That would have been 17/ 20/25 or 30 years (depending on her recall) of being verbally bludgeoned. I find it hard to believe she would have spared her husband her habit of taking the nastiest low blow in a fight. She STILL brings up that he felt inferior about her financial success whenever she mentions him which makes me think she threw that at him a lot when they were married. He was so determined to humiliate her when he left. I feel like that was his 'fuck you' after years of that vicious tongue.

I don't really like Kyle either. It just wasn't accurate to say she was stache twirling about Villa Blanca and its demise because she wasn't (I know you didn't make the original comment). Now if it had been Rinna.... Back on topic- I think Villa Blanca was destined to end regardless of Covid. Hasn't she been trying to sell it ever since that sexual harassment suit she lost? I don't know anything about West Hollywood real estate but I always got the impression it was a money pit. She barely ever mentions it on VPR or RHOBH and the reviews are fairly terrible. I think she was happy a pandemic came along to help her save face about shutting down a pretty severe albatross around her neck.

She didnt gloat. She gave a two sentence answer to a question Andy asked, simply saying that so many restaurants have been hit in Hollywood that it didn't surprise her.

I really liked this episode. I thought the dinner party, whether or not it was staged, was one of the best. And I was totally fine with Dorinda going after Ramona. This means I have no principles on bullying because I would have been furious if she was attacking Tinsley. But Ramona being publically humiliated after all the crap she's pulled and unforgivable things she's said? Bring. It. On. I also have no issues with footage of Sonja stuffing her face. New York is the first Housewives show I watched and I have such a soft spot for it. Even if it's garbage I'll still watch and think it was good on rewatch. But I think they need to do a season 4 type house cleaning.

That fetus is working harder than her father has in years. I'm not saying I want Stassi exiled for the rest of her life but a period of self examination would have been nice. Instead we got a pregnancy announcement drop within 2 days of the shit hitting the fan and now she and Beau are business as usual. The one good thing is that I don't think US Weekly pays much. But it indicates to me that she thinks this will blow over with enough puff pieces and she can restart her empire by the time she gives birth. I'm not saying I'll stop watching VPR but this is what I require going forward 1) I want Jax and his wife gone 2) I want the British wamker fired, tarred and feathered and his laptop driven over by a truck 3) I want Schwartz called out for his dog crap personality 4) I want the male staff members to shudder every time Lisa tries to wrangle a "isn't she the hottest woman I've ever seen" comment out of them and to look at her with thinly veiled contempt at her desperation. These are my demands. Ignore them at your peril, Bravo!

I have no idea about America but they were definitely popular in Australia. They were one of those bands that got a lot of airplay whilst being recognised as crap by anyone who had taste. Hannah's comment about him calming down about his place in history was spot on.

Ha! The first thing I thought of when she read that was 'what idiot wrote that blurb?' I mean, it's technically correct but it's so much more than that. You'll love it.

I've been trying to work out who he reminded me of and during his Lara grief tonight it came to me- Jason Isaacs. A poor man's, bargain basement version of Jason Isaacs. I'm not loving the deck crew. It seems like the lesson production learned from the toxic, misogynistic douche bro season of Below Deck was to....hire a new cast of the same thing. Great work, Bravo. On the plus side I appreciated Jess getting a plug in for the best book I have ever read, 'The Secret History'. Buy it and read it. It's phenomenal.

And after the miscarriage she and Beau can adopt an African-American baby. Thus turning a horrible negative into a positive, opening her heart to the realities of racial bias through her adorable new baby and maybe healing America and its racial fault lines just a little bit. I'd be less suss if she didn't make an announcement and just emerged a few months out of quarantine with a bump. This just looks pathetic and craven. Which she is.

I also love all forms of Courtney. She's incredibly talented, bat crap crazy and fearless. You have to have a spine of steel to cope with the vitriol that has been thrown her way and still survive. She's like Yoko Ono except Yoko's music is truly terrible. Neither of them deserve the racism and misogyny thrown their way. Back on topic, I am also annoyed at Jax still having a job. And I agree with @Victim Noises that the worst people in this are Bravo executives. There is a serious culture problem at Bravo and Andy "I have no say anymore guys, I just host the reunions" Cohen is responsible for a lot of it. The very fact that if they were to clean house properly they'd lose at least 4 shows completely and a good 10 personalities speaks to how bad it is. I'm part of it because I watch this crap but I can still want to most egregious behaviour to be punished. I have no idea how they think they can fire the girls but keep Jax.

Oh, please. I saw that Stassi and Kristen have hired a crisis PR team. That's not my area but wouldn't it be best to just lie low for a while and do nothing? Anything they say will be attacked and no future sponsors or employers are going to touch them until the heat dies down. I'd have though the best crisis PR advice would be 'shut up and stay out of sight'.

I think she's going to end up on Fox as a frequent guest of Hannity and Judge Jeannie a la Tomi Lahren.. She's blonde, pretty, fairly quick on her feet and will now have a hard on for cancel culture, political correctness and reverse racism, which as we all know is the real racism. That's all you need and that bloated turd would love that narrative. And Stassi can embrace her new career as Bigot Barbie v2.

I think at the moment he probably has supportive intentions. I don't know how long that will last with Stassi ranting and being all Dark Passengery. He'll definitely be earning his squatters rights in the next few months. The crazy thing is that all of this could have been avoided if they actually went after Faith for her real crime. She fucked Jax with the 90 year old immobile woman she was taking care of in the room. That is disgusting, elder abuse and Faith should have lost her job. Not to mention the family of the woman should have reamed her. If anyone pulled that on my grandparents and I found out about it? God help them. I'd have been OK with them pointing that out to Faith's employer. Instead they took a ridiculous, racist and potentially lethal route and lost everything.

wrong thread

Exactly. Drunk or sober he's a little fuckface twerp and if this show lasts another season he'll be the same. Lala is sober (apparently). She's still an awful person. And so is James. I will NEVER be here for his redemption arc.

Her house must be the 9th Circle Of Hell right now. Something tells me Stassi isn't dealing with this rationally. I'd say 'poor Beau' but I don't really like him.

That's what o thought as well. It was clear that nothing she said was going to be OK in this present climate and I wondered if that was why she waited a few days to release a statement. But reaching out to Faith in private would have been the smart thing to do PR wise and I'm stunned she didn't. Faith stated Lala reached out to her privately and was clearly receptive to it. Stassi failed basic crisis management with that move. Someone on the other thread recommended the Vanderpump Rules Party podcast and I listened to it last night. They spoke about a tip they got from a crew member that said there has been a lot of racist and homophobic behaviour covered up by Bravo and that they work to protect Stassi, Jax and Brittany on particular from what they say. So, yeah. Fuck Bravo as well as those 3. And the whole cast if we're getting down to it.

Yeah. I hate people. Every time someone famous does something abhorant there is always an idiot chorus on social media praising them for admitting it (see Josh Duggar). I'm really disappointed in Kristen for this. I expect this from Stassi and take mean pleasure from her getting slammed but I thought Kristen was better than this. Insane, yes. But better. And I want Brittany to get a hiding as well. She called Faith nappyheaded. AND the bitch is a Sandy Hook Truther.

I thought she did apologise to Faith in the statement. But like the last time she apologised when her disgusting comments got her in trouble, I'm fairly certain this is just to stop her remaining sponsors from fleeing. She's a truly vile human being.

That's like that amazing quote from Frasier about Maris Niles: Oh, you have free reign. Just bear in mind she can't have shellfish... poultry, red meat, saturated fats, nitrates, wheat, starch, sulfites, MSG or dairy. Did I say nuts? Frasier: Oh, I think that's implied! I liked Rinna so much when she first came on. Now I look at Twitter and if it's Rinna heavy in the comments I'll skip the episode. She's not a subtle sniper like LVP (who I don't really even like) so there is no explanation why she manages to keep taking all of these people down. Other than the fact that the rest of these women are too stupid to see it coming and mount a defence. And if that's the case they need to start looking for some capable new blood.
