It is pretty easy to train an inexperienced stew, but to work with one with an attitude problem is a bigger challenge. Barbie became unhinged when Fraser didn't agree with her margarita recipe and let it affect her attitude. She has to be willing to respect Fraser's authority or it won't matter how competent she is in service or housekeeping.

I noticed that this time. Perhaps her hair added to the resemblance. Plus, they probably have a pretty similar drag aesthetic. I was tearing up when Tia was talking about Cherry. I think it was a beautiful homage to Cherry; Tia really stepped up her runway and design game. Sad to see Aranxa leaving (what a beautiful spirit ❤️), but two of Choriza's looks were impeccable and she was high last week, so I think LGD played it correctly.

Count me as another one who was shocked that Plasma won the episode. I thought she was going to be "Loosey'd," especially since Sapphira was amazing in her role. I'm glad they both did great. Sapphira's floral gown was a showstopper. I am a big Nymphia Wind fan, but wasn't impressed with her runway this time. I'm interested to hear everyone's take on Q's look. I usually love her runways, but didn't care for this one. Maybe I need to give it more time, or hear other opinions.

I think all the RHBH viewers should boycott her special and en masse go watch the Housewife and the Hustler Part 2 during the time EJ's show is airing. That would send a message to Bravo that we don't appreciate these grifters and the way Bravo rewards them.

Reminds me of PK grabbing an extra slice of pizza when he was supposed to be welcoming the therapist. 🤣

It's interesting how much more the sun affected them at the beach than aboard the yacht. Especially, the deckies, who are outside most of the day, with their duties. I realize the stews are inside for part of their duties. I could feel their pain through the tv screen!

I've seen posts about Erika's show here before... who has the tea? I can't imagine anyone would give Erika her own show after what's happened with Tom and how she reacted to it. If she can't sell out her Vegas residency, why give her a tv show?

I'm not usually one to go against the crowd, but I feel the need to defend my local winery after reading all the digs against Korbel. I was surprised that there is more vitriol against Korbel than any of the other shenanigans that happen on the show! Korbel is right down the street from me and it's a wonderful place to visit. Unlike many other wineries, they offer complimentary tastings and tours. Their sparkling wine is not expensive, but I don't equate that with poor quality. I remember some presidents have used Korbel at their inaugural balls. It may not be Cristál, but who can afford that anyway?

I just love this forum! I came here to post about how upsetting it was to see everyone but Garcelle apologize to Erika, even though they have nothing to apologize for and her behavior warranted many more apologies. And, it was great to see many others with the same thoughts! Erika has a lot of nerve complaining that the other housewives aren't taking responsibility for their actions--- really???

The Faux Farce 5 and its remnants were not busy bullying people off the show this season. They live for making the more popular housewives miserable. I'm so glad the cast is more evened out now and Rinna is gone.

Yes, I noticed they are pouring water from glass bottles that look a lot like liquor bottles.

I’m glad Q finally got the win- she’s been top 3 times and I’ve really loved her runways. Hopefully she can “Let Loose” now. 😉 I think the show needs to provide more stretch fabrics, since there seemed to be a lack of variety of them. The stretchy material is probably more forgiving for a quick sewing/design challenge. I wonder if Saphhira let Plane Jane undermine her confidence, leading to her using the immunity potion. I wasn’t thrilled about her look, but it wasn’t bottom 2, or even 3.

I'm so excited to see this talented group of international queens. It's always great to see the glow ups- they are looking stunning. I was really surprised about Mayhem's talent show. Tia was right- it would have been easy enough to ad-lib something if she forgot her script. Mayhem is a great queen with a huge fan base, but perhaps nerves get to her when on drag race. I loved what Marina did for her talent show and the runway look was also top tier.

Yes, it definitely shows an attention to detail. The irony is that there will be so many bigger issues popping up each charter that the fold of a toilet paper edge is the least of the worries. How about a dinner with a 90 minute wait between courses? (Loved the look of the dishes, BTW).

I kind of liked Captain Kerry taking a walk about the yacht to make sure things were to his approval. But, it does strike me funny that he points out the smallest detail, like the fold of the toilet paper and the stoppers in the sink needing to be in the same position. From the adventures and dangers of Norway to this! 😉

She said it to Erika at a dinner Erika had at her house back several seasons ago (before the divorce and scandal). Erika took offense to her comment.

I wasn't happy to see Ben back (hated his self-styled moniker, Stew Slayer- ugh) and I'm already upset to see him blame Jared for "throwing him under the bus" when it was Ben who didn't pass on the info about the anchor length. Jared is definitely nervous about his role as bosun, but he doesn't need Ben to sabotage him.

Absolutely! I think a scream actually came out of my mouth at the sight of her. Post Traumatic Rinna Disorder.

One podcast that delves into the legal side of EJ’s complicated finances, etc is the Bravo Docket. It’s two practicing attorneys and they have a lot of knowledge about Tom’s case. As @heatherchandlersaid, a check was written from a client account for the earrings. (NOT a gift from before Tom started stealing client money- literal client money.) The only reason Erika won her appeal for the earrings is because this was part of the G-K bankruptcy. And, it should be in a separate lawsuit brought by the robbed clients.

Those earrings were not just a sentimental gift from husband to wife; they were $750,000- taken directly from the account of diabetes patients who had won a lawsuit. This huge sum could have helped some of the victims. Erika could not give a f***.

With BoBo zipping by! 🤣

I would not be thanking Annemarie profusely for what she did for Crystal (unless there is more to it that we didn't see). She was probably largely responsible for the increase in blood pressure in the first place, after bringing up things Crystal supposedly said to the ladies. Crystal was probably stressed from that dinner conversation and then was feeling carsick, which adds a lot of stress when you are stuck in a vehicle. All that stress and her predisposition for high blood pressure was probably too much for her. I'm glad Annemarie attempted to help, but she didn't actually do that much for all the ladies to be fawning over her.

Kyle is hinting that he is leaving Below Deck Med. Here's an article about it: https://screenrant.com/below-deck-med-kyle-viljoen-quits/

I don't think Mirage should have been in the bottom. Her hosting was fine. Some of the acting in the skits was a lot worse. However, when she was asked to lip sync for her life, I figured she would outshine Geneva with no problem, since she killed it during the talent show. Who knew she would flub the words??? I was gutted by her reaction. I hope she is booked and blessed for eons!

I just love that Crystal is getting her digs in when she is posting replies to Dorit's stupidity. You go, girl!
