I don't think people are Team Ariana because they think it's the cool thing to be. I think they are on her side because they empathize with her and the awful betrayal she has suffered.
Some people see this situation as garden variety cheating, and so in some ways it's a turnabout is fair play, nothing much to see here kind of situation. But many people see it as much more than that: a cheating situation complicated by multiple layers of betrayal. Your partner does you wrong, that's bad. Your close friend does you wrong, that's bad. But when they do you wrong together, in cahoots, that's exponentially bad.
Lala and James, I think, fall into this category. They see a big difference between partner cheating with a rando (bad) vs. partner cheating with a close friend (much worse). It's a degrees of awfulness thing. Stealing ten dollars (bad) stealing title to house (much worse).
The “cool thing” has more to do with the cast, not the viewers. Cheating is cheating and I understand that there are different levels, but Lala and James screaming their heads off when they’ve both been guilty is laughable and hypocritical. Lala was with a married man that basically paid her to be with him. James was sleeping around on Raquel with pretty much everyone. Also, didn’t Ariana have a sexual interaction with Lala, a best friend? Let’s not forget how Ariana met Tom. Yes, Kristin is all sorts of crazy but Ariana should’ve known, once a cheater, always a cheater — she would be no different.
When I see Jax, the biggest scum bag of all time, speaking on the subject as though he’s the Dalai Lama, I want to hurl. I get that Sandoval did an awful thing, and he’s no doubt an ahole, but the double standard with this group is hilarious. Just watching them, I feel like I need to get an STD check.

Another thing that bothers me about this - everyone is going “Team Ariana” because it’s the cool thing to do and they don’t want to be canceled. Lala, and James are going over the top to show what huge supporters they are of Ariana and how they are completely against cheating. Wouldn’t want those two as spokespeople for fidelity. I didn’t hear sound arguments — just a bunch of eye rolling, screaming, and name calling. My 6 y/o could’ve argued better. Yes, don’t be disrespectful of VPump. She’s allowed to have an opinion and it’s ok if she doesn’t want to jump on the A bandwagon.

I don't understand her hatred for Jo. She filed for divorce, and she was already having sex with other guys.
Thank you. Schwartz is irritating, no doubt, but there is a double standard. If what Katie did was true, I couldn’t imagine still living with my husband, and sleeping with other people. Just call it quits and then go and have your fun.

Ugh, can they all just stop talking at once. I’m sorry but they’ve all cheated and are all pretty nasty. As disgusting as this is, didn’t Kristin sleep with Jax, the boyfriend to one of her best friends, Stassi? Yet we welcomed Kristin in the last episode. Didn’t Ariana and Lala have an intimate moment? Yes, the affair was awful but this ‘holier than thou’ attitude is laughable at best.

I am not advocating for Rachel, but something isn’t all there. I think she’s dealing with a lot of rejection in her life from beauty pageants to her biological Mom handing her over to her Aunt. The Mom didn’t give Raquel up due to the inability to raise her but b/c she was done having kids and her Aunt was unable to conceive. That has to hurt on many levels, especially when she’s see her bio sister/cousin. On top of that, I am sure that James was very difficult to deal with, mentally. As much as I find him funny, you can see that Ali is completely exhausted from his antics. Again, not condoning Raquel’s behavior but something is very off with her.

1:1 b/w Ariana and Scumdoval: She’s incredibly articulate and spot on with her assessment. He fake cries and adjusts his balls. He did her a favor — she’s already shining a lot brighter without this greasy, mustachioed noose around her neck.
The Bravo picture really foreshadowed this season.

Did I hear correctly? Did Danielle tell Margaret to kiss her big BLACK ass?! I rewound it over and over and it still sounded like big BLACK ASS. Please tell me I'm wrong.
I think she said “flat.”

And did you catch her comment that Melissa has been trying to take Joe away from her for years? Holy crap! Now we see the reason for her hatred of Melissa...another woman, not someone she handpicked from her gaggle of friends, "took" Joe and has been "taking" him "away" from her! WOW... calling Sigmund Freud! We need a psychiatrist to dissect this weird sister/brother mess.
Luis is a troll.
Exactly - Teresa is obsessed with her brother and it’s incredibly odd. Freud would pass it to Jung.

Teresa keeps screaming that Melissa is trying to tear her and Joe apart, but the last few episodes all I see is crazy eyes Luis stirring shit up and making the situation worse. He seems very unstable, mentally and emotionally.
They need to recast RHNOJ, and just keep Delores. She’s the only sane and watchable one in the group.

“He’s f**kin hot.” That comment alone lets me know that Ariana is not in the right frame of mind. She dodged a bullet with that one. 🤮

My hearts truly breaks for Ariana. Raquel is another level of disgusting along with greasy Tom. But, I hope Ariana finally gets the concept of loyalty. When she thought Raquel and Tom Schwartz were an item, she never should have condoned it. She should have had Katie’s back and told Raquel that it was a wrong thing to do rather than saying she didn’t want to be dragged into it. Gotta say - one of the best eps of the show.
I thought Ken was going to spin himself into a circle. He looked completely and utterly confused.

I'm sorry, but I don't see Melissa as a mastermind manipulator of anything. I can't help but notice how Jen and Melissa seem to get along when Teresa's otherwise engaged, so if that's the storyline, they've all played their parts, hoping the show continues.
I know I might be in the minority, but I feel like Melissa is more genuine than Teresa.

The talking heads about the boogawolf had me in stitches. Of all the things she could have said, this should not have been one.

Louis is bat shit crazy. I could completely relate to Joe Gorga when he gave him that “WTF” look after the pajama comment. He is seriously overstepping boundaries and he has no issues throwing Teresa under the bus to make him look good. Teresa is too much of a simpleton to realize it.
Danielle is a mini Teresa. Both are hot tempered, constantly get words wrong, cannot argue to save their lives, and sound stupid. Those two should go to a mole hole and conversate with one another.

Excellent observation about Frank…He keeps saying “he’s hurt” by Delores being in a relationship with another man…meanwhile he’s got a young hottie himself! How ridiculous of him to claim he’s “hurt”. He’s just worried about being phased out on the show.
That’s exactly right. Honestly, he’s always given me the creeps so I’d much rather see Paulie over him. Their children are grown so they can stop using the excuse “for the kids.” I don’t know anyone who has kept super friendly with a ex after the ex cheated/mistreated them.

The RH franchise is a guilty pleasure but now I’m beginning to mainly feel guilt for subjecting my poor brain to all of these overly contoured imbeciles that can’t string together coherent sentences.
I used to find the men mildly endearing, but now I see a sad lot that have no real jobs or ambitions aside from riding their wives coattails. Poor Frank is terrified that Paulie will take his place and paycheck.

I think the $20k increase in donations had to do with hotdog and pretzel purchases versus that hideous calendar.
Poor, defeated Bill. He’s calculated the amount of child support and alimony and it’s probably cheaper to keep her. I’m completely against infidelity but Jennifer makes me go

Jennifer: I'm the MOST self-reflective person out of all these ladies!!!!
Bill:
What is this face he's making. Is he actually laying the eggs or have some of them gone bad?
Whilst trying to suck in a gut. Thank goodness for that basket. Less pain on the eyes.

Thank you, Frank, for officially putting me off of Easter, and potentially giving me nightmares for the next few days.

Mia will need to take her pole out of the attic soon...
I think we need to refresh this cast for the next season. Too many are OGs that bring nothing to the table.

Woah, that photographer used some amazing filters with the NJ men or the body oil did wonders because what we saw looked nothing like the end result. The end result wasn't even that great. I couldn't stop laughing at Luis' yoga gut poses, the Bounty man, and the bartending leprechaun. Yowsas! Who even uses calendars anymore?
Theresa needs to stop with the plastic surgery and tanning. She can barely keep her eyes open with those lashes and her leathery skin looks rough. A muppet she is!

I am pretty sure that Vishal is gay, and Richa may be a lesbian/bi. There is no chemistry b/w them and they seem to be hiding their life since it's still not as accepted in the community, sadly. I had a friend that was ditto Vishal. Everyone in our uni believed he was gay. Years later, he married a random girl from a village in India 🙄 I think Monica's Dad is gay as well, and his ex is protecting Monica by not saying anything. Monica ain't the brightest as we can see with Rishi.

Gotta give it to Candiace - she is quick- witted and has some incredible zingers. Clearly smarter than the average Housewife.
Bravo is so cruel. Candiace says Gizelle and her neck rolls, and the camera pans and focuses on those neck rolls. Fantastic!

Can someone please explain the reason people seem to like Jen Shah? She continues to be a brat, she clearly ripped off elderly people through her scam company, and she's a complete and utter a-hole. Yet her friends keep coming to her side and she has a sweet and supportive husband. There is nothing endearing about this woman.

S10.E16: The Reunion, Part I

I think Ken fills her love tank just fine 1x every decade and on special occasions. I don’t think she’d stoop so low to be with either of these morons, but I do think she’s not about ganging up, esp when her business is involved.
