IMO Andy would not lie about production not knowing about Monica's Reality Von Tease account. He would have been 100% prepped, especially with a team of lawyers. Bravo had months to prepare for this reunion. Monica shut up when challenged by Andy because she was likely lying as usual...she just can't help it.

Monica is the quintessential lying liar who lies. I think she set up Meredith with the whole Greek mafia and DMs. Maybe Meredith did say something about the Greek mafia in a kidding way. I just don't believe that she's so stupid to try something similar to what she's previously been accused of doing. Monica and Linda need to leave this show for Intervention or something similar. Win-win! At least for me, as I don't watch Intervention lol.

Hey, nobody talks about my fambly like that and gets away with it. LOL It'll definitely be a train wreck again and I'll be there for it.

Well I thought the wedding was fun and entertaining. Sure it was over the top but that's Teresa! She and Louie looked so happy...Marge Simpson hair and all! Margaret is such a downer and comes across very bitter....maybe trade her for Jen Fessler going forward. What I don't understand - if Melissa looked nervous this season, as a number of posters have remarked, all she had to do was put on a happy face and play the game, convince Joe to attend the wedding, and to stop lying about Teresa for a storyline. Oh well...Reunion here we come lol!

What does it mean if it's a law firm conducting an investigation? That would be different from a government investigation I assume.

Heather was fed up with Kelly the season of the Ireland trip, the one with all the screaming on the bus to the airport. She was offered a friend role instead of an orange for the next season because she wasn't willing to open up more of her life, which she believed could have had a negative impact on her children. Some alleged/speculated that it was because of an affair Terry had in the past. My memory could be fuzzy though!

I want to know too! The conspiracy theorist in me thinks the Dubrows threatened production with a lawsuit and bought off Nicole with a NDA lol! And I think Noella caught on but can't say it out loud on camera, so she comes up with the "I don't have to be there to know what happened" ridiculous rationalization. Heather's contract is probably airtight with regard to airing anything that can hurt her family/family's livelihood and threatened to quit the show then and there (Stop Filming!). I really wanted her back on the show and am very disappointed! Her brittleness and lack of empathy is disturbing, especially since she left the show once she knew Terry's affair would become part of the storyline seasons back. She throws David's affair in Shannon's face in such a disgusting way, with sidekick Gina nodding/smirking. And Heather is going to give advice on a relationship show?! WTH!

Well...Jacqueline from years ago is married to Caroline's brother, Chris and their youngest is on the spectrum. Current Jackie is a different woman married to Evan, and Jennifer is married to the plastic surgeon Bill. Jennifer did have her nose done by a surgeon in Turkey I think?

^ I understand what you're saying about being or not being judgmental, but still have a hard time not judging Jackie's behavior by the same standards as the rest of the housewives. For myself, I find Jackie extremely boring so I fast forward through most of her scenes. I did see the one where she mentions that Teresa triggers her (relating it to her eating disorder, I think?). Jackie came across as manipulative, to me anyway, which shouldn't be surprising since other disorders and addictions likely involve an attempt to manipulate others. I of course don't know and am not a doctor - just my opinion from watching that scene in particular.

Agreed. And nobody at the table except Marge seemed to react. I bet the tableware was all plastic and the clanking of glass was an added sound effect lol. I think Teresa is known as the good soldier who follows directions and "acts" her part.

My recollection is Caroline decided to leave because Al's long-term sidepiece drama would become part of C's storyline the following season. Then BRAVO gave her Manzoed with Children.

Laurie and The Wallet yes. Gretchen and Slimy Slade no. IMO.

Well I for one have been waiting years for the return of Fancy Pants and will be watching for sure. Since I said that out loud, I'll probably be disappointed. Hoping Shannon doesn't whine/screech too much but I still like her. Even though I couldn't stand Kelly's vulgarity, she could be very funny. But getting rid of her or really anyone for Heather is fine. Unpopular opinion but I'd rather have Vicki back than Tamra...if we're voting lol. Don't care about the rest of the regulars except I do have a soft spot for Gina. Oh almost forgot - so glad Braunwyn is out.

Although I get that sensitive discussions can be meaningful and enlightening, and a lot of us are already having those discussions in our real world, I watch the "Real" Housewives to enjoy a silly and fun escape for 45 minutes. Yes I know that I can decide not to watch. I was so looking forward to NY and then to be so disappointed and stressed out during a stupid TV show, I'm not sure it's even healthy to watch anymore. Does anyone know the ratings?

Matt has proven himself to be a manipulative gaslighting cheater. He obviously did a number on Amy, along with Caryn, so no wonder she's always wary when in his/their presence. I hope very much that Chris is sincere and doesn't break Amy's heart. She tries to show a tough exterior at times, but to me she seems fragile and holding back emotion. Isn't it interesting how we all see and interpret things from our own perspectives?
