Haha! Total typo, but I'm leaving it as-is 🙂

Thank you! I am really bothered by Kim's excessive spending and facial work but other than that, I really enjoy the family and the show.

Does anyone know whether or not Don't be Tarty was cancelled?

Does anyone know if Don't be Tardy for the Party has been renewed?

I think being around the likes of Witney and Shep has not been the best thing for Craig and Austen. Neither Witney nor Shep have to work and consequently, don't do so very much (at least that we see). That's a lifestyle that won't work for Craig and Austen which I think they forget by being around them so often. Meanwhile, years go by living and partying off of show money with nothing of substance in the end. I remember early-on Witney and Shep trying to impart this notion to Craig. I think I would enjoy Craig and Austen more if they were engaged in productive employment. One aging boozer/philanderer (Shep) is plenty.

The dog seems like a good move for Shep. Something to care for beyond his own immediate needs. He seems to like the dog a great deal and will care for it well. The dog is going to have a good life, I think.

Are Naomie and Metul still together? I don't mind Naomie given that she's demonstrated the ability to recognize things about herself that could be improved, e.g. temper. She seems to cling to men a way that isn't helpful, but maybe she clues in to that next.

IMO, I think everyone who can do so on pitch "can sing". Luanne does that near as I can tell. I feel she is a singer - just not a versatile or strong one. In her defense, she never claimed to be anything more than she is in this regard. In fact, I feel she knows her limits and designed the show with these limits in mind. The show is not just the singing. It's the banter, the comedy, the dresses, the guests, the audience, etc. I think cabaret is an apt name for what she does, and if reviews mean much, she seems to do it well.

I'm torn. I like Vicki too but she seemed to be moving a bit into Jill Zarin zone and messing with the authenticity (such as it is) by fabricating things. And, she seems to have crossed a few legal lines with slanderous remarks about a few castmates that put the network in a precarious position and angered, castmates (rightfully so). I would like to have seen Vicki stay and kind of wind down a bit a like Ramona, but she dug herself a grave, I think. I don't like the idea of a new "tres amigas" because it sort of means that the original tres amigas weren't really amigas to begin with and that the whole concept is really just for the sake of TV and a means of keeping the others out of an inner click.

I'm confused. Is the 6M for the round house or was it for some other house? And, did she get the 6M and if so, how and from whom? Or did she take the round house because she couldn't get a house she wanted in the first place? I gotta give it to Luanne for swallowing a bit of humble pie during the reunion and owning her crazed behavior. Although I suspect she had a bit of a talking-to by Bravo heavys. Come clean or don't show up.

I think Dorinda, Luanne, and Sonja are in very similar places in life. None developed long-term successful careers on their own. When their husbands left, they had nothing. I feel Luanne clings to the cabaret as that one thing she can call her own. I think Dorinda is jealous and would like to find something of her own. Sonja still has a child at home to focus on, so I think she fares a bit better than the others. Dorinda saying Luanne has no substance is the pot calling the kettle black, IMO. When Lu didn't thank Dorinda for the dress on stage, Dorinda sulked and became belligerent, and it was downhill from there. In the end, both were just trying to get their slice of the pie.

I would welcome a reformed and humbled Phaedra, but I'm not sure that's in the cards! I do LOVE her little boys, though, and for their sake, I'd be willing to maybe, possibly, perhaps give Phaedra another try.

I never thought of it that way, but I agree. I've supported Craig since the beginning, but this season, he has lost me. He hasn't progressed a single smidge in any direction and he is completely delusional about Naomi....and himself in general. He reminds me of Cheers' Cliff's shock treatment when he said something inappropriate. Craig needs a kick-ass therapist to walk him through every scene he's in to explain how his view of things - and how he speaks - is off. Or maybe just hand the buzzer over to Shep. I like Craig and am rooting for him, but it's not looking good so far this season.

I like Danni. I know she's quiet and normal and doesn't bring a lot of drama but I like when there is this type of person on Bravo shows to even things out a bit. I feel the same way about Chelsea. Total plagiarism. She should apologize and paint over it.

Luanne and Sonja make me sad. They took HUGE falls when their marriages ended and never recovered.
