Heather's face reminds me of that puppet from the Saw movies. I think it's the cheekbones.

Montana was/is the Berkshires 2.0. Ramona and Sonja are going to whine about a Housewives vacation unless it's in an exotic location and there's an accessible party atmosphere with plenty of men and alcohol and servants to run around after them. Ramona did Scary Island. LuAnn did Morocco. Carole did St. Barth's. Heather did the Berkshires, and Kristin did Montana. Has Sonja ever hosted a trip before? I can't honestly remember. If she's going to brag about being this grand dame hostess, I'm going to need more proof than her decade-old stories about yachting with Saudi Arabian royalty or whatever the fuck it was. I do remember a costume party that she had at Grey Gardens and "forgot" her underwear. Another fun moment was when she threw Alex McCord out of a party. Any others? I'm sure there are. Kristin is another Brandi. If it's not about her, she's not going to be happy. She inserts herself into fights/situations unnecessarily, probably just for the camera time. She pouts and actually cries and storms off and flips out on her guests and is just generally no fun. Luann's been putting up with a lot of shit from Sonja and I didn't understand where it was even coming from--until tonight's episode. Sonja is completely jealous that Luann's post-divorce life is barely different from when she was married to the Count. It drives her insane that Luann hasn't screwed up her life the way that she has. Luann is also aging better and isn't some sloppy drunk who throws herself at any male that crosses her path. Sonja brought up her ex-husband again during the shooting thing. She really needs to move on. I bet he never thinks about her. Carole's hiking outfit was atrocious. Did anyone miss Aviva? Nope.

Every time Caroline takes a shot at Americans, do a shot. "Americans love traditions, because they don't have any." "Americans take something small and turn it into something ridiculous." I'm sure there are others but it's late and I'm going to bed.

IDK but the last time Vicki got an award on camera, it was hilarious.

The latest First Look mini episode was really boring.

Is it? I think two of Babe's kids have children of their own (Slate and Bria). I think the little kids in all of her pics are Babe's grandkids.

Ashley Zarlin is modeling these days. Not sure if it pays the bills or not. She posts a lot of pics of her, Lady Babe and Babe on her twitter/IG/tumblr.

What's going on with Danielle Staub and her daughters? Any word?

I was watching some of Season 4 tonight on Hulu, specifically the St. Barth's trip. The rage that Aviva has is frightening. I genuinely wonder if her kids are/will be afraid of her. She really went after Sonja and Ramona over a difference of opinion, and then wouldn't--or couldn't--let it go. She even says, "you see what happens when you cross me? I'm relentless" and Carole tells her that it's not a good quality. That said, what a difference a year makes. Last year, Carole was all up Aviva's ass, double-dating with her and Reid ("I just want to spend time with them!"). Now they can't stand each other.

If they aren't required as part of their participation on the show, then why is Aviva running around with a doctor's note? What's not to be believed? That Kelly had an unprovoked meltdown? Bravo would never miss an opportunity to show Bethenny needling Kelly, but we're supposed to believe that they cut all of that out? Hmmmm. Doubt it. There's just no way to hang Kelly's meltdown on Bethenny, no matter how much you despise her or want it to be that way. Nope.

I'm still laughing that providing a wheelchair to an amputee after a long crosscountry flight is considered by some people to be an act of cruelty. There's cynicism, then there's that (totally beyond).

Did we even see her at the airport in St. Barth's? All I remember from that episode is when she showed up at the house with Reid and started yelling.

I don't think production would be that blatantly cruel to mock a disabled person, but obviously YMMV. It was a long flight and I think someone was just trying to be thoughtful. And maybe they don't have any idea how big the airport is that they were flying into.

Always the victim. It couldn't just be the case that, as others have pointed out, amputees need assistance when walking long distances and a producer decided to be proactive and reserve a wheelchair for her? Of course, if she had gone on the trip and there wasn't a wheelchair waiting for her, I'd expect her to flip out and play hurt about no one thinking to get one for her. She needs a lot of attention at all times. Must be why her husband just plays along with her. Can you even imagine living with her?

Aviva never intended to go on the trip from minute 1, so I would imagine the producers got the wheelchair for her and she didn't even have anything to do with it. It's clear the other women don't really like Aviva (the woman's a massive, shrieking bitch) so I doubt anyone gave a second thought to Heather's somewhat insensitive remark about the wheelchair.

These events and trips are built into their Bravo contracts. They mostly have to attend (unless they suddenly develop asthma and get a doctor's note *cough*). She couldn't. They were living together on a boat. It has been pointed out many times that Bethenny wasn't even bothering with Kelly but Kelly still attacked her. That had more to do with the other women finally seeing that side of Kelly. Up to that point, it appeared Bethenny believed she was the only one who was lucky enough to witness it. The other women would always say, 'oh, that's just Kelly being Kelly' whenever anyone pointed out questionable behavior. They all agreed to basically placate Kelly until the producers got rid of her. No one was antagonizing Kelly on that trip. Period. She came ready to fight with people over nothing and if I didn't know better, had decided before she left NYC that she was going to try to ruin the trip for everybody.

She looks like she should be doing cheap porn in the outskirts of Vegas.

Bethenny never attacked Kelly on that trip. She defended herself when Kelly would randomly insult and attack her (cook versus chef-gate, totebag-gate). I'm by no means a Bethenny fan--never was--but to suggest that she was antagonizing Kelly to the point that she flipped out is just inaccurate. Kelly came at her with a vengeance right from the start. Bethenny had just buried her father and was pregnant and wasn't even paying attention to her until she started in (called her a hoebag at one point, too).

It was pretty suspicious that Aviva even GOT A NOTE to get out of going to Montana. WTF? Who does that with a group of friends? She's a pathological liar, that's why she knew she wouldn't be believed and got a note.

The only time bikini waxing was funny on Real Housewives was the early days OC, when Vicki took her random assistant for a makeover. She and Jeana stood outside the door while the woman got waxed (for the first time) and laughed at her shrieking.

Sonja sounds like an idiot talking about Monaco and yachts and whatever, especially now.

Yes, I wish they'd show the last week's episode right before. I barely even remember what happened last week.

I'm disappointed there weren't any real photos of the villa.

Is it true that the ratings are in the toilet? I wonder if this will be the last season?
