Ratings were 485,000 for the first hour then 82k people were like what is this shit and turned it off before the 2nd hour, when it dropped to 403,000 

I mean it shed a lot of the RHOBH viewers but that seems to happen to any show that follows it I’m just glad that so many chose NOT to watch it however 

it just makes me sad that 400k people watched this bruja at all .. 

The experts who analyze the number of “viewers” and their demographic have no way of knowing if someone fell asleep or left to walk the dog, without stopping their DVRs or turning their TVs off, do they?

[Slakkie]

I didn't watch it - I listened to the Watch What Crappens and that is all I needed to know.

[Salacious Kitty]

I'm sorry they had to watch it just to tell everyone how shitty it likely was.

Ooh! There’s a TikTok video of a drag queen named Willam describing how the tide is turning. Many in the LGBTQ community are disgusted by what Erika did to Chris Psaila.

Yup. Actions speak louder than words. 

[hoodooznoodooz]

I listened to the podcast High & Low by BravoBravoDuckingBravo recap of Bet It All On Blonde.

At the 41:36 mark, she imitates Erika saying, “I have one chance to prove that I can sell tickets.”

”Narrator: She could not sell the tickets.”

”Soon the tickets would be sold for seven dollars each.”

Then in a podcast interview with Zack Peter, he asks, “Does it hurt that people are shading the ticket sales?” Erika says, “Well, it’s not true.”

 

[Salacious Kitty]

Erika is a lying liar who lies. 

[Kiki777]

I did sort of catch the special on repeat one morning - I keep Bravo on as background noise when I work from home.  Nothing really remarkable, just prep for the show and like the last 20 minutes was footage of opening night.  It was surprising/disturbing to see how many fans she had in the audience, singing along with her and screaming like she was the Beatles - maybe they were paid extras?  
 

There was a sad moment at the end though in the update section - her dog Tiago died 😢 I really liked that dog, he was adorable and seemed sweet and deserving of a better human.  RIP puppy 🐶

She lies OFTEN. It’s appalling. And erupts if you accuse her of lying.

With Zack Peter, she lies about the Secret Service and Marco Marco. Even though she announced to everyone on the RHoBH that she wore a wire. Hulu is going to release a documentary about this without fact-checking the details?

Does anyone know if forensic accountants will be able to track that Tom Girardi was able to wire a huge amount of money to her lawyer Jim Wilkes in order to continue paying for her hobby? 

 

[hoodooznoodooz]

Do we think Erika knew Tom was pouring millions into her hobby? Did she realize this, but still deluded herself into believing that her hobby was a success? 
 

I wonder if Tom’s embezzling only became egregious, once she told him that she was going to pursue this hobby. The six figures she spent on glam each month. In The Housewife & the Hustler, Part II, Psaila tells us that once they cast her on the RHoBH, she told him that they now needed to go even bigger and more outrageous. 

[hoodooznoodooz]

Erika keeps clinging to this belief that, she can’t show compassion for Tom’s victims. It makes her look complicit in Tom’s embezzling.
 

“I refuse to hand over my expensive possessions and gifts from Tom, or else it looks like I helped embezzle the money to purchase them.”

Tom’s judge mistress turned over everything immediately. No one concluded that this must mean she was aiding and abetting.

I will have to look for it!  Willam used to perform at my venue (Drag Queen Bingo)!

[hoodooznoodooz]

I’ve been watching Selling Sunset. There’s a real estate agent who presents herself exactly like Erika. Long, platinum blonde hair, which she wears in crazy, over-the-top styles, huge lips, huge bolt-ons, expensive hooker outfits, six-inch stilettos. I imagine that if I visited Los Angeles, I would see dozens of these Barbies. 
 

The real estate agent is much warmer, much more interesting, and she works very hard.

I hated that Bravo hooked it onto the RHOBH episode so my dvr picked it up since it wasn’t identified.  But I wasn’t even tempted.  

That's such a dirty Bravo trick - seamlessly attach an episode of one show to another so that the DVR records them both.  

On 3/7/2024 at 4:58 PM, hoodooznoodooz said:

This is a very good question. Does anyone know how DVR recordings affect ratings?
 

They must have some influence - otherwise why link the shows?  I also hate it when they link an episode of WWHL to a show.

Dressed in wrinkled khaki pants, an open-neck checked blue-and-white shirt and the same shabby gray jacket with blue lining hanging out that he’s worn for most of the three-week trial

Tom stole client funds for decades. But I believe he embezzled even more because she wanted to pursue her hobby. He wired funds directly to her account.

The jury deliberated for only three hours. I'm bothered she was removed from the lawsuit, and was not charged.

[hoodooznoodooz]

Anyone want to weigh in on the Marco Marco lawsuit against Erika? I am really happy about this. In The Housewife & The Hustler, Psaila did not seem that angry, more sad and disappointed.

Tom's lawyer claimed at his trial that the transfer of funds to her LLC was for accounting reasons only, and she didn't know about it or use the funds. But we know she used the funds.

I am still just in shock that they used the money for such stupid stuff, instead of handing it over to burn victims and people whose loved ones died in a plane crash. I am still as angry today as I was when I first learned about it. They did this and thought, “This is great, and I am going to get a good night’s sleep. What we are doing to these clients is just fine.”

I am glad we live in a culture where you can’t get away with racism and homophobia so easily. However, it’s like that’s the only reason Bravo will fire someone now. You can show off a lifestyle that was off the backs of orphans and widows, and that’s a-okay. 

Actions speak louder than words. Erika pretends she’s this LGBT ally, but what she did to Marco was unforgivable. He was in the process of adopting a child with his partner, and couldn’t proceed because of the arrest. 

I really wanted to believe Erika was soft underneath the hard exterior, but even in that last documentary I saw, she didn’t seem like she gave a damn about any of the victims.

oh god that last one that she did herself and still ended shitting on them even more  .. I don't know anything about you .. girl you knew you were meeting them you could have done the bare minimum and researched who they were and how your ghoul of a husband stole from them but oh no NOT Erika .. her trying to flip it that SHE was the victim to their face was a huge SLAP

She said this when Crystal suggested that it would be better to give the earrings to the trustee, to be sold in auction, and the funds to be forwarded to some of the victims, or relatives of victims of accidents Tom won money for in lawsuits.

It was such a low moment that even the team Erika cast members couldn’t believe it. Let’s be very generous and say Erika had no idea Tom stole from anyone, that she’s truly scared of how she’ll end up financially, and that she would give up any jewelry once all the legal issues play out and she knows she will be okay, that she’s not ready to give up material things not due to greed but due to fear. She could still do a better job showing some compassion without admitting to any wrongdoing. Even Kyle said as much during an argument they had. It’s bizarre because Erika can come across as one of the more well read and intelligent housewives, but even pretending to care about orphans and widows is difficult for her. How does she not see the optics? I used to like her, but a lot of people already saw her as a greedy gold digger due to the age gap of her marriage and how much she spent.

I hope that Erika will have to testify. I would love to be in the courtroom when the plaintiff’s legal team shows how many times she lied.

Now THAT would be smashing reality TV. The ratings would be gold.

wasted all that money on something that was never hers to begin with but then again they were spending stolen money anyway so what's that to her

I have had a theory based on nothing.  That is how I roll HA!

Tom sent this other old guy $$ to support Erika in the lifestyle to which she has become accustomed.  Accomplished 2 things.  Laundered the money and kept her mouth shut.  The the old coot gets a younger woman on his arm occasionally. 🤷‍♂️
