...I'm going to miss your posts, Gingerella ; )

No worries my dear, I'll swoop in from time to time to bitch about shit I'm reading, never fear! I just can't sit through hours of this steaming shite anymore. I asked myself, on my deathbed will I want this time back, and the answer is a resounding FUCK YES. I used to be a Bravoholic - I watched pretty much everything on that channel but they, and wonky-eyed Andy Cohen, have run every good show they had into the ground and it's all the same recipe, different shade of shit - start out interesting and immediately get into a bitching war. It's just not entertaining to me. I signed up to watch supposedly wealthy housewives, their home decor porn, their jewelry and fashion porn, their vacation porn. I didn't sign up for constant bitchery, and these women who are an embarrassment to their gender and humanity in general, and who offer nothing useful or positive to the world. And that's not including how they take people with mental health issues and/or substance abuse issues (Kim Richards, Sonja Morgan, Dorinda Medley, etc.) and parade them around at their worst moments for TV ratings. No thank you Bravo. I watch a lot more PBS now and I love it!

Well Erika went and poked a bear that she really shouldn’t have.. B could give a flying Fuck she will shred you. ..

The episode tonight of @BravoWWHL was taped so I don’t address the comment you & Dennis’ children are hurt, offended and disgusted by. I appreciate your loyalty, heart and compassion.

Who is Dennis? Or was that supposed to be Denise?? I have no idea what it all means.

Frankel (RHoNY) used to date Dennis, who had kids from his first marriage. Dennis died suddenly.

Thanks. I had to reduce HW shows to two: NJ and BH, so I had no idea about her loss.

[Polliwollidoodle]

oh now I think I do recall that. (been a while ). 

Yes Dennis was the love of her life and he died suddently....?

[MaggieG]

Mmmmm I wonder if Bethenny's good friend Kyle will say something to Erika about this?

Love or hate B, her charity is legit and she has done a lot of good work for widows and orphans. Unlike nasty, horrible Erika.

[pasdetrois]

Diana Jenkins partnered with Sean Penn to form the Jenkins-Penn Haitian Relief Organization. I have heard and read rumors that the charity is not on the up and up. It is not listed on Charity Navigator.

Blind gossip items claim that it is a cover for stealing and laundering money. Those items also suggest that under the cover of disaster response, sex trafficking occurs - women and children are offered transportation out of the disaster zone and then manipulated into bad situations.

This speculation arose again when Sean Penn weirdly rushed to Ukraine, then left quickly.

Here is a story about something similar: https://www.gawker.com/5951307/wyclef-jeans-perverse-fraud-of-a-charity-is-no-more

I half-watched WWHL, so I have no idea what the drama is regarding. Can someone fill us in on what Erika said?

I do applaud Bethany for her charity work. She sounds like she has a big heart underneath the tough exterior.

One of the many blogs that accuse Diana Jenkins of being a madam:

Sutton is the target again this season?  Erika is a thousand times more evil. 

[glowbug]

Anyone else watch the preview for next episode where Erika has the audacity to question whether Tom’s clients really weren’t paid? She is just so despicable. Dorit and Kyle, of course, just make shocked facial expressions and clarify whether she’s saying that the clients could be lying without actually challenging her. Rinna looks shocked and then backs her up by agreeing that anyone can say anything in a lawsuit. Garcelle is the only one that says no way and then further points out how ludicrous Erika is being in her confessional. Everyone in this conversation is awful except Garcelle. 

[MsTree]

I'd really like to know exactly what Rinna gets out of backing every stupid word that comes out of Erica's mouth. They're both despicable.

I missed that. Wow. Apparently everyone is wrong except poor, put upon Erika. All I can say is that ain't gonna play well in court.

Erika has something on her. Or Harry. And, unlike Kim, Erika will spill it.

I think Garcelle will be needing something stronger than wine.

I'm stoked.

[RealHousewife]

Speaking of Lisa Vanderpump, I know this is old news, but I finally read the BH chapter of Not All Diamonds and Rose. She really does sound like a chess player. 

Spoilers in case anyone hasn't read it but would like to . . 

Spoiler

I believed Brandi about the tabloids, because who sneaks off middle of the night and leaves the country if they’re innocent? I could see maybe it was a joke or she really didn’t think it was a huge deal, but she was guilty of something.

A producer confirmed Brandi’s story, also for LVP to push Rinna to bring up Munchausen's. Eileen backed up that she said “there goes our storyline.” Mind you, I still prefer LVP to Rinna and Brandi, and they’re grown women who make their own decisions, but I get why she rubbed the others the wrong way. I thought she might actually be innocent with puppy-gate and still don’t think she deserved to be treated the way she was given her trauma. But according to the book, she did leak the story. 

The others mostly come across as you expect. 

Camille's mom didn't think she'd do great on the show because she can be naive. 

Eden said that Eileen really is super nice. 

Brandi got really angry and emailed all the producers to go fuck themselves, including Andy Cohen.

Brandi said Rinna’s reaction to let’s talk about the husband was suspicious, but Kim knows nothing about Harry. A producer also said they’ve had many conversations regarding that fiasco, and Kim never said what Harry did. I don’t think Kim has anything on him, at least nothing concrete. 

I posted in another thread that Kyle wasn't close to Vanderpump prior to the show, that she was Mauricio's client she had dinner with occasionally. Season 1 led us to believe they were best buddies, so I was surprised by that. Dorit on the other hand said she and PK were closer to Lisa and Ken off camera than on camera. 

Yolanda really recommend Erika for Housewives, so her "women have never done anything for me" is not true.

Is the dinner party from hell the one with Allison Dubois or is it the one in Amsterdam? Or a different one?

New York's Scary Island (though that may have been stretched out to 2 eps, no?).

Scary Island is CLASSIC! It does stretch into a second episode (when Zarin shows up), but it's appointment TV. sidenote: Lu tried to call it Poison Island on the second episode, but it didn't stick. 😂

[glowbug]

I’d add Teresa Guidice’s table flip dinner in season 1 of RHoNJ where she calls Danielle a prostitution whore. That put RHoNJ on the map and transcended the Housewife fandom at the time.

To me the table flip was more of a moment than anything else...

It’s kind of a damn shame Alison Dubois couldn’t have been coaxed into signing on as a regular. 😂

Despite everything else she is and has become, I will always love Kim Richards for telling Taylor "Why don't you blow up you're lips some more!"

YES! I forget who said it — Kyle? — when they were walking out… “This is NOT who we are!” 

Um…yeah, it kind of is.

Kim almost knocking over the table. LVP — “Camille’s sidekick…er, psychic.” Camille — “The morally corrupt Faye Resnick.”

They don’t come any better than this. Excellent setup by Camille, BTW.

EDIT — Forgot to mention those DRINKS. I’ll have what they’re having.

At the time, Taylor did seem to have big lips.   After Rinna came along, I realized Taylor's lips weren't very big at all, mostly they were just long?

I almost liked that scene better than the actual dinner party.  I think it was LVP that said the psychic made it happen as they all hoofed it out of there.  LVP was pretty funny at times.

I love that, in the middle of the fighting, Camille "awkwardly smiles" and sinks down a bit in her chair trying to stay out of it. 🤣

One of LVP's best lines of the episode-Allison was talking about her show and LVP said "oh gosh, I must watch it!"

She lived on the opposite side of town or something? I felt bad for Kim not having anyone to gab about the craziness with. Anytime you experience something remotely like that, half the fun is dishing about it afterwards. 

[Hiyo]

Wasn't she 2 seconds away from a brawl with Taylor that night? I keep thinking Taylor threatened to go all Oklahoma on her ass at that dinner...well, go Oklahoma on somebody's ass, anyway.

Dammit I am only just returning to the office after a bout of COVID (that nasty bitch)!  I will set my DVR though for this iconic episode.
