Unpopular Opinions

[RealHousewife]

What are yours?

I'd miss Lisa Rinna if she left. I find her funny. I like that when it comes to being a shit stirrer, she does "own it." 

I believe that Dorit didn't dump the puppy-just didn't follow proper protocol and was trying to protect her kids. I'm an animal lover and don't think she's a horrible person for it. (If it turns out she did hand the pup to a kill shelter herself, different story.)

Erika is entertaining. 

Eileen Davidson was a favorite housewife of mine. 

Brandi wasn't always wrong. 

I don't know what goes on in Kyle's mind, but I think she's got a beautiful life and has absolutely no reason to be jealous of anybody-not Lisa, Kim, Brandi, or Camille. 

Not sure if this is unpopular or not but haven't seen it said-I think Joyce is up there with LVP as one of the most intelligent housewives. 

Andy Cohen does a great job. 

[nexxie]

Just watched a bunch of the After Show videos - imo the women all made good points except LVP, who insists on her poor-me story. (Never watched the After Shows before, but found them interesting.)

My unpopular opinion is that I rather like Kyle, I don't think she's a horrible person or a horrible friend. Is she flawed? Certainly. But I think she came from a family that didn't always have great boundaries and had it's fair share of dysfunction. Nevertheless, she seems to have built a good marriage and a strong family.

I love Lisa Rinna. I think she’s hilarious.

I like Kyle.

I loved Eileen and was sad she left.

I like Teddi.

Erika Jayne needs to go. She brings nothing this season.

LisaV is charming,  but manipulative and cunning. I think she holds grudges and plays the victim when she is called out. She is passive-aggressive. I believe she planted the ROL story.

Vinnie van Patten was the hottest husband IMO.

I agree with a lot of this, definitely about Vinnie. That’s a hot man!!!

[breezy424]

OMG.  Vinnie looking out the garage door window was hilarious.

[langford peel]

After and except for Lisa Vanderpump.....Camille is by far the most intelligent of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. 

[sunshine23]

I do periodically find Rinna funny.

I enjoyed Yolanda's house porn and loved the lemon grove.

Kyle does have a great life and needs to enjoy it instead o whining.

Brandi had her purpose.

I enjoyed Joyce and Eileen.

I wouldn't mind HW like Rinna, Erika, Dorit, and Brandi as much if they'd get their comeuppance once in a while instead of always getting a pass.

Am not impressed with Andy, nor do I care about him becoming a father.

I also believe Dorit didn't dump the puppy.   

I loved Brandi when she was on and feel so much sympathy for her now.

I like LVP BUT I think it's because the other woman are so nasty that I like her more than I actually do.

[Blondie]

Don''t like Rinna.  She is loud and a two faced back stabber.

Don't like Erika.  Cold fish, gold digger, no personality.

Don't like Dorit.  She's a "one upper"  Phony as a 3 dollar bill, and a liar.

Kyle is spending money as fast as her husband makes it.  Trying to show her $ by trying to keep up with LVP.  Back stabber, liar.  First she's afraid of flying, yet she does it all the time, now anxiety about her children growing up and going away to college.  Not buying it.

Teddi trying too hard.  Now Kyle likes her so she's trying to fit in with the cool kids.  Good luck with that.  Love her house but where is the back yard for the kids.  They are going to have to play mountain goat if they want to play outside.

LVP.  Your dogs are not sexy.  They are adorable, cuddly, etc.  Stop with the weird hats or whatever you call them.  Please don't wear things so low cut.  Not attractive at your age.

[Natalie68]

I think Dorit did dump the dog

I don't think Mauricio is hot but he seems like a good dad

Don't think LVP gave the story to Radar but if she did I wouldn't care.  Team Lucy/Lulu

Deep down I don't think Kyle is a nice person

[langford peel]

I think Jiggy should be put down.

Lisa Rinna too. She is one rabid bitch.

[Set Them Free]

I like Rinna.  I like that her professional accomplishments weren't bankrolled by a rich parent or spouse.  I believe that while she is willing to be dramatic and stir shit for her job on RHOBH, when the cameras are gone she is a nice, fun person and probably the sanest one in this group.

[princelina]

I never liked Yolanda and thought her refrigerator was stupid (although I did like the rest of her house and property)

I actually think all the husbands are attractive in their own way, EXCEPT PK. He looks like a boiled ham. I feel bad that Dorit has to sleep with him. *shudders*

Yeah Mauricio is hot even though he’s not typically my type. Ken is adorable. Harry is an attractive guy. Denise’s hubby is also good-looking.

[SweetieDarling]

I don't think there is anything remotely attractive about Mauricio. I don't think he's ugly, but I don't find him attractive at all.

[BodhiGurl]

I don't really care for Lisa VP and Ken. I find their "story" tired. There's very little house porn with them anymore - same rooms, same entry way. Yawn. Too bad she wasn't up for a makeover for herself - that would be interesting! LOL

I don't care that the majority are at odds with LVP. I don't care that she won't film with them and I don't care that she might quit RHOBH. I think the show will go on without her if she or the show chooses to end the relationship.

I enjoyed Brandi on the show up until she went way off the rails. She was her own worst enemy. I do think LVP manipulated Brandi and when Brandi caught on and had enough - LVP found ways to make Brandi's life on the show difficult. Brandi majorly f'ed up - especially her last season, but... yeah. I'd almost not mind her getting a second chance. Watched her on Big Brother, and on the live feeds - she was actually pretty mellow and down to earth, when she wasn't drunk. Gal needs help. Anywho.

I don't mind Teddi - but - not sure she's going to be back.

I was behind a car today with the license plate "AMAZING". It was on a Dodge, so I knew it wasn't a Umansky, but was tempted to check to make sure.

I don't find "down to earth" in a HW refreshing, or even a trait I want in a housewife. I prefer them a little nutty, a little pretentious, a little full of themselves, you know, kinda mockable. (But not mean, mean just sucks on every level.)  Besides, their down to earth-ness usually turns out to be BS anyway.  

I have lots of down to earth in my everyday life, I really don't need more.

I don’t care either. When people say LisaV IS the show, everyone else sucks, I just chuckle to myself. It’s an ensemble cast, and I find the group watchable and likeable for the most part.

Also, I find it humorous when people fall for LisaV’s “I’m so hurt, I might not come to the reunion, and I might not come back next season” routine. It’s laughable. Of course she’s coming back. I think she’s aware that the show could go on without her and she doesn’t want to miss out.

I don’t think Denise will be back next season. She’s too laid back. Teddi got another season because she wasn’t afraid of drama with Dorit. I predict Denise will be a one season wonder.

That's what I find intriguing(?) about Denise Richards. She comes across as down to earth to some, but I think she's a stoner chick; not that there's anything wrong with that (PPP @FairyDusted if you read this thread 😉), but it adds a different dynamic to the pretentiousness of the other women that I'm kind of enjoying, so far. I want her to come back for another season, assuming The Coven haven't totally destroyed the franchise.

Since it IS legal in CA I would love to see Denise spark a doob in a scene.  Frankly I think a lot of these uptight ladies could use it.

You cheated, he cheated. People are going to judge. Deal with it.

I also have very little sympathy for Brandi Glanville aside from Eddie's shenanigans. She needs to get her shit together and stop blaming other people for her problems.

If she can do that Smokey eye with an updo in Gstaad then she can serve both RHOBH and RHONY

I don't find Ken the least bit attractive.  The only one I find even more unattractive is PK.

[dosodog]

Okay.  I have not liked Lisa Rinna since the slow, hate filled led by Rinna, junk boat to Hong Kong (or was it Shanghai).

But.  I love her wig.  Don't care if it's the same style for the last 20 years.  It's a classic tosseled bob haircut and it suits her.

 

Yes. I said wig intentionally. My dislike of her insists some shade be thrown.

[nexxie]

LVP’s sexualization of her pets is truly sickening - if a man spoke to his female pets that way, people would think he was a pervert.

[princelina]

And while I can enjoy LVP as a "character" - I definitely think she is trashy, not classy.

[JAYJAY1979]

I miss kim Richards

Eileen was laid back and quirky.

I wish Joyce had been given a second season.

[ivygirl]

In retrospect... S1 Camille was horrible, but we’ve seen much more horrible since then. I don’t condone her behavior, but I also don’t see it as bad as some of the crap we’ve seen (e.g., Erika’s rage at Eileen in Hong Kong, Rinna’s treatment of Kim, Kyle/Kim mocking Brandi at Game Night, Brandi’s vitriol thrown at Joyce, etc.).

[mytmo]

Rinna needs to take a break - her schtick is old and I only liked her with Eileen.  Vanderpump is the nucleus.  Kyle needs to become a stager for The Agency and focus on showing house porn with doggie showings thrown in.  Teddi brought absolutely nothing to the table and should go back into obscurety.  Dorit was a one trick pony and puppy dumping gate should be her swan song (no ode to LisaV).  Give a diamond to Boy George - housewife hasn't applied to any of these people for years.  Denise needs to cough up more names other than Charlie.  Erika who?

[Misslindsey]

I do not mind Rinna. I actually think she is pretty self aware with her ridiculousness.

I still like Teddi. I feel she would be me if I was on one of these shows. 

I have always been indifferent to LVP. Sometimes I like her and sometimes I do not, but the last few seasons I have grown so tired of her. So I would really be fine if she left. I do not care that the rest of the cast is against her right now. I also do not care about LVP's kitchen, and I like home makeover shows. If that is her story for the rest of the season then I would be really fine with her leaving.

I am not on either LVP or Dorit's side on puppygate. I do think Teddi has a valid issue with LVP that is unfortunately tied to the dog drama. 

I rarely post in the episode threads for this show because I have all these unpopular opinions.

[quaintirene]

I think LVP is as trashy as they come.  She reminds me so much of Hyacinth Bucket in Keeping Up Appearances.  She tries way too hard.  And Real Deal UK Aristos tend not to have quite as much interest in cheap shiny pink satin and rhinestone gewgaws as she does.

I think Erika had a tummy tuck before the start of  filming and it took longer than expected for the drains to come out.  That's why all the loose clothes at the start of the season that made me sure she'd gained weight.  She's not wearing them that loose now.

I really like Rinna.  I wouldn't want to spend a lot of time with her.  Actually maybe I would!  Just to hear her trash all the other Ho'Wives and spill all the dirt!

I also like Kyle.

I agree with a lot of this. Rinna does have self awareness, and there are times I really relate to Teddi. I don’t do well when someone snaps at me the way Erika and Dorit have at her. I also appreciate punctuality. I don’t find her the most interesting on the show, but that is only because I find her pretty down to earth and normal. My one criticism of her is that I’d wish she’d been gentler on LVP, but I think she genuinely smelled a setup. I don’t think Teddi is evil, but I’m one of the few who has things I like and dislike about all of them. 

Lol good thing I made this thread for all the unpopular opinions! 🙂

I don’t think LVP is trashy like Brandi, but I do agree she doesn’t exactly epitomize class and that she gets away with stuff and is still considered the classy one because she’s rich, older, elegantly beautiful, and has the posh English accent. If it were an American chick half her age with boobs constantly out, p***y jokes, talking about blowing her husband on national TV, just a general naughty humor regarding everything from her pets to breast exams, no way would she be considered classy. 

[BluBrd47]

I liked Yolanda. I DO like down to earth in a Howhife and besides her being a drama queen when sick and her pimping out her kids, I found her reasonably chill. She didn't tell people what they wanted to hear to manipulate them or be popular.

Except for Brandi and Kim. She was all over trying to manipulate those two. Granted, Yolanda was much better at controlling Brandi that she was Kim. Kim didn't need Yolanda to buy her fancy gladiator sandals, she had Mauricio and her "Real" sister Kathy for expensive accessories. But, Brandi belonged to Yolanda from the second she received those ugly designer sandals from her.

😉 Yeah I don’t like that feeling either. 

I like LVP and feel for her this season, but I don’t think the current situation is solely due to jealousy. There are things I like and dislike about all of them. Who I side with also varies.
