If so, we saw how well that advice worked. Bitch was drunk off her ass during her big "date" with Amsterboy. I wonder if she would tell a judge she was just "keeping it real" and being "just me, you can't change me" and that other bullshit she spews in an attempt to justify her heinous behavior. I wanted her to suggest that Kim pursue an endorsement for California raisins, since she's so dried up and shriveled from sun damage. Okay, showing myself out now...

It's probably my favorite John Carpenter movie, which is saying a lot since I love his body of work. I recently found a copy of the entire movie on YouTube, in all of its original glory, and added it to my playlist.

THIS. The women should have stuck to the way they treated Brandi at the White Party at the beginning of the season. They were cordial in their greetings to Brandi but after that didn't interact with her at all, leaving her with her ever-present stylist to sit at a table and bitch about how no one was talking to her. I believe she gave up and left the party early. Had they stuck to THAT strategy and refused to engage her and her shenanigans, they might have guaranteed this would be her last season. Hopefully it will be her last season. I just don't see what else she can bring to the Bravo table at this point. I think she's pulled everything out of her repulsive bag of tricks and overplayed all of it. Please, Bravo, give her freedom to pursue all of these other amazing opportunities she claims to have and give us somebody at least a little more functional and likable. We've earned it after all of these seasons of Brandi bullshit. (and feel free to show her BFF little Kimmie the door, too...)

One of my favorites, too. Whenever I've heard "vanilla twist" since then, I always have to stifle a giggle. And how ironic that her childhood role bitching about her ice cream got her plugged in the chest. If she'd have settled for the plain vanilla in that movie, her character would have survived. Life imitating art or art imitating life? Great movie, one of my standout Kim roles. Didn't even bother to try to watch the remake. The original was perfection.

Ah, how could I forget that? And then sat there at the head of table for all the world like a naughty little toddler caught with her hand in the proverbial cookie jar as Ms. Dubois systemically verbally attacked the other women at the table. Yeah, I'd absolutely love a season 1 Camille back. That Dinner from Hell was pure gold. Such a difference between season 1 Camille's vile behavior and that of Brandi and Kim. I loved to hate on Camille and snark on her antics. Brandi and Kim, not so much.

And doesn't she have at least 1 lawsuit against her for Kingsley biting that family friend? Yes, she definitely has a veritable cornucopia of blessings on her plate these days. No wonder no one likes her. We're all just jealous haters. Shame on us. It's always delightful when someone appears to be getting precisely what they deserve. Enjoy your Utopian lifestyle, Kim. Sounds like you've earned it. *gag* Also I believe in the first couple of seasons, it was mentioned more than once that Kim never answered her phone, never checked her voicemails, and never returned calls. Hell, if Disney had been ringing her up to open negotiations for her to headline Escape to Bitch Mountain: The Musical, she wouldn't have been aware of it anyway. I don't think Kim has realized the 2 offers she's had in her 5 years on this show are (1) basically playing her skeevy self in a 30-second cameo on Revenge and (2) having a nonspeaking "cameo" in a campy made for SyFy movie, neither of which probably paid enough to pay her electric bill for a month. I think after her displays on this show, the only roles little Kimmie can count on are just like the 2 mentioned above...Parodies of herself. I'm no fortuneteller but I certainly don't see any legitimate acting roles coming her way. She's done a brilliant job of showing everyone in the industry how unstable, unreliable, unpleasant, and entitled she is. No reputable casting agent wants to work with that shit, especially to take a chance on an unknown commodity who has pretty much been retired for 30 years. Kim, you're no Robert Downey, Jr., and I don't think anyone will be clamoring to see you back on their TV screens anytime soon. Hell, many people want you off of their screens now with this franchise. Myself included.

I wouldn't object to Camille returning, especially if she were really dating that Duke of Doucheville (his title escapes me at the moment) who was in the finale. Dear lawd, the snark factor would be off the hook. I also loved the house porn Camille brought with her. Maybe she'd even compare herself to Jesus again. I also found her fashion choices to almost always be impeccable. Hell, anything brought by Camille would beat the hell out of anything brought by Brandi or Kim.

I worked at a women's imaging center and mammograms and other breast imaging studies constituted a great portion of their services. We had a woman who had come in with a questionable mass in her breast. She came in for her biopsy and was diagnosed with breast cancer. It was recommended she have surgical resection followed by chemotherapy and radiation therapy and odds were she would have a full recovery since it had been caught early. She decided instead to go the holistic route. She came in every 6 months for her followup imaging, and the mass kept getting larger with each visit. No amount of explaining to her that she was running out of time and needed to take definitive action changed her mind. She was determined to handle it through diet and herbal remedies. At her last visit, one of the technicians came into my office teary-eyed and saying she wished the patient would stop coming in even for followup because it was breaking her heart to see her slowly dying and yet still refusing conventional medical treatment and saying she just needed to increase her supplements and cut other things out of her diet and she would be fine. My contract there ended shortly thereafter, so I don't know the eventual outcome of that patient's case...I've got a pretty damned good idea, though. I bring this up because, when I hear about what Yolanda is doing with the "guinea pig" types of treatments all over the world, I always think of this patient and how she essentially was killing herself with her decision to explore other methods of treatment rather than following the advice of the physicians treating her. I'm all for people trying alternative methods of healing but, when those prove ineffective or the disease progresses whilst undergoing said alternative treatments, it's time to quickly reassess the situation and seriously consider changing treatment paths. I hope for Yolanda's sake that she isn't losing precious time by traveling all over the world to try these experimental/unproven treatments. I agree. It's crossed over into a frightening obsession when Brandi has time to beat the shit out of Kyle "millions" of times. Bitch ain't right in the head. I envision Brandi in that memorable scene from Fatal Attraction, listening to Madame Butterfly and flipping the light switch on and off repeatedly, conspiring against Lisa VP and Kyle instead of a married lover:

AND HE WAS IN 100% GODDAMNED PAIN!!!!!! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT HE GOES THROUGH AT NIGHT!!!

And I find the fact that she freely admitted to beating the shit out of Kyle hundreds (thousands?) of times in her oversized head downright goddamned PETRIFYING. This is a grown-assed middle-aged woman with 2 growing children, yet she has time to mentally envision beating Kyle to a pulp "hundreds" (or thousands) of times in her head? Honestly, this bitch is whacked in the head and needs to be gone from my TV. STAT. And probably taken for an emergency psych eval. #FixItJesus (ETA on rewatch, she said she's mentally beaten the shit out of Kyle MILLIONS of times...Sick bitch)

Oh gawd, and we all know how reliable Kim's "true versions" of stories are. Case in point: The stealing of The Goddamned House. I can't wait to hear her skewed "real version" of what Alexia could have done to merit that dog trying to rip her hand off.

Brandi is even worse than Alex and Simon's leg-humping kids on RHONYC. I found the dark seething anger in her eyes tonight fascinating. She's like a rat trapped in a cage of her own construction tonight. FINALLY.

Hell, at the accelerated rate she's going, I give her 2 months before hitting full-blown Jocelyn territory. I need to watch this again to absorb it all. Moon face kept distracting me. HONORABLE MENTION: Lisa Rinna announcing she turned down Kim's Big Gig on Diving with the Stars. Gawd, I hope that's true because the simultaneous look of dismay, confusion, and butt-hurt that crossed poor lil Kimmie's face when she heard that was fucking PRICELESS. I just want to add discussing this with all of you lovely folks here at PTV makes this shitstorm exponentially more enjoyable. Cheers!

Oh, for fuck's sake, Brandi's head and face are so goddamned full of fillers it looks like she wore a wasp's nest for a hat earlier in the day.

Much like a leper colony. And her very public non-Bravo-related debacles, such as The Tampon String Incident. Yeah, at least one of her sons is old enough to Google mommy and see what's up with her behavior. I really feel very badly for those boys. Eddie and Leann are vile as well, but at least I haven't seen pics of either of them engaging in such vulgar drunken public displays. Sonja Morgan does the same shit, trying to rationalize her behavior by saying it's ramped up for ratings, yet TMZ and other sources have caught her on the street and interviewed her when she was clearly nearly incoherently drunk and the show wasn't even filming. She's just a drunken spectacle, whether Bravo cameras are present or not. Much like Brandi.

I wonder how much, if anything, Kim gets in residuals for her early acting jobs. IIRC, a lot of television (and perhaps motion pictures) actors weren't paid residuals until maybe 20-30 years or so ago. Any info on that, ZoeysMom? I'm wondering if, aside from her spousal support, Kim has any income besides the Bravo paycheck at this point in time.

Besides the housewarming party for her new rental thrown by Brandi, did either Brandi or Kim host any events this season? I'm refusing to include the get together in Brandi's bed to watch Eddie and Leann's show, which IMO was a big of a waste of the viewers' time as was that absurd stalking JR episode. I can't honestly recall either of them hosting anything this season but maybe I've just blocked it out...Or maybe the unseen footage special will show something one of them hosted.

I agree. I knew when Gretchen was called out at her last OC reunion by the other housewives for fabricating story lines that it was the Gretchen and Slade death knell. Her castmates really called her out on her fake bullshit. I'm hoping it's the same situation for Brandi. Also, I'm seeing reports from less-than-reliable tabloids all over Facebook that some type of altercation in part 3 of the reunion led to Bravo firing Brandi. While I'd like to jump up and do a happy dance, I'm skeptical. Doesn't Bravo normally wait until after the reunion airs to renew contracts? I remember there was much ballyhoo about Porsha being fired on RHOA after she assaulted Kenya during the reunion, but that turned out to be false. Anyway, I'm crossing my fingers and hoping Brandi is done after this season, and I'm full of glorious anticipation for episode 1 of the reunion tonight. Bring it, Bravo, bring it!!!

Loved the premiere and so glad this show is back. Daisy...What a trooper. Surely that positive outlook and upbeat attitude will help her immensely on her cancer journey. Since I'm off work indefinitely, I may treat myself today to a marathon of season 1, which luckily for is on the On Demand. Looks like it's going to be a great season...Welcome back, ladies!

And the coffee. That's all it would take to keep my comfort-loving ass parked there. If I'm inevitably going to die in the ZA, I'd prefer do so with a freshly-brewed cup of java in my caffeine-addicted hands.

In season 1 when Rick tried to keep reaching Morgan via the walkie talkie, did he tell the others at CDB about Morgan? I remember scenes of him off by himself at, I believe, the predetermined time of sunrise every morning, trying to make contact with him, but for the life of me I can't remember if the told Laurie and the rest of the gang about Morgan and how he and his son had helped him. Me, too... All of those exposed mucous membranes (nose/eyes/mouth). I'd be terrified I was infected from that type of exposure. *shudder* Anybody else get a total Land of the Dead vibe from that? In Land of the Dead, they used "sky flowers" (fireworks) to distract and divert the zombies. I actually loved this episode. I felt it had the perfect blend of zombie and human action (I confess, I get a tad bored without a decent amount of zombie action going on). And that brief promo for Fear The Walking Dead? I am SO in. Looks like the perfect way to fill that gap between seasons of TWD. Hurry up, summer!!!

My favorite RH smoking gun was when Bravo finally showed us the clip they'd been sitting on for a season or two which showed Adrienne refusing to be Taylor's daughter's godmother. That was gold. All of that speculation about the topic was finally put to rest. I'm hoping this season's alleged smoking gun is at least equal to that Adrienne/Taylor footage, otherwise I'll be disappointed. I'm also hoping it's about Brandi and enough to boot her from the franchise (although that probably won't happen).

Gretchen and Slade as well. There was a huge amount of chatter about them, in large part due to the over-the-top fake engagement storyline, and that bit the two of them right in their ass. I think the powers that be at Bravo do look at content as well as volume when reviewing the social media activity. I also heard another reason Aviva was canned was because Reid tried blackmailing Bravo to get a return invite to the next season. Reid reportedly told Bravo Aviva would attend the Wyoming trip in exchange for another season on the show. We saw how well that worked out for Aviva and Reid. I'm hoping Brandi telling Andy on the reunion that she wasn't going to take bullying from him (or however she phrased it) is her express ticket off of the show. Brandi, you ignorant waste of oxygen, being called out on your shit is NOT the same thing as being bullied. What a moron.

She is rapidly approaching Jocelyn Wildstein territory. VERY rapidly. And her lips are obviously vying to take the Overinflated title from Lisa Rinna. A couple of more procedures on that kisser and she'll be right up there with Rinna. And as we suspected Brandi was her usual drunken "slut pig" self even in Amsterdam. Or at least she tried to be. How utterly humiliating to be so fucking wasted out of your mind that even a 23-year-old apparently can't even bring it upon himself to have sex with you. Brandi Glanville - Taking the word "pathetic" to an entirely new level. Bravo gods and goddesses, please let Adrienne work some of her new magic skills to make this sleazy bitch disappear from the show. PLEASE.

I agree. I also think the smart thing for Brandi to do to hopefully get some degree of redemption would have been to tearfully tell any and all of other housewives with whom she has issues: "My dad's illness has reminded me that life is so short I don't want to waste anymore of it with these petty issues. Please accept my apologies for anything offensive I've said or done and let's move forward." It might have earned her somewhat of a pass for coming back for another season, if executed correctly. Approaching the situation in such a way would have likely garnered viewer sympathy and any housewife not being receptive to a teary-eyed Brandi with a "dying" father extending an olive branch could very well end up looking like a total asshole. Of course, it would have required a sober, rational Brandi to try to turn things around and paint herself in a somewhat positive light, which likely will never happen. Her bullshit in the finale, all up in Lisa VP's face and grabbing her wrists and trying to cover her ass with Kim over what she had said, did her no favors in my opinion, and her pussy eating comment to Lisa VP earlier this season was one of the most disgusting things I think I've ever heard come out of her mouth (which is saying a lot with Brandi). I sincerely hope both she and Kim are off the show next season. I don't believe either of them will ever have anything to bring to this franchise other than what we've already been shown, which is pretty much nothing.
