RHOA was the highest rated cable show on Sunday night (again) with 4.18 million viewers and a 1.9 in the 18-49 demo, slightly down on last week (4.5 millon, 2.1) but still nice and high

Nene has been giving her opinion on why the ratings are so high this season:

I enjoyed Beverly Hills this week, loved all the Kim and Kyle scenes as they were real fun to watch, but totally think that Kim overreacted to Lisa not being at the party. Who wants to go to someone's graduation anyway? Personally, if it was a family member or close friend I would, but for anyone else, I would say no, like Lisa did. So what if she came back earlier than she thought? She obviously had a busy weekend helping the gorgeous children with alopecia. Anyone who has come back from a long trip, needs a rest and some me time, so I don't blame her.

However, Ken's remark was totally out of line. I understand he was defending his wife, as would any good husband after seeing his wife get attacked (damn, I wish my hubby would stand up for me like that), but considering all Kim has been through, he shouldn't have said that to her. She had a disease (alcoholism) and it is not easy to fight it. If anything, this season, I have a lot more love and respect for Kim that she has managed to do it.

The Brandi and Carlton scenes were a bit nauseating. I had kinda liked Carlton until this week. I am also starting to dislike Joyce as she doesn't have a lot going apart from the Brandi thing which is irritating.

It was also nice seeing Kyle and Lisa getting along and having a laugh again. I liked them both when they were close friends.

Wait for it.

This is so shocking to me. I sincerely hope the this isn't true, because it'd devastate me if Kim really relapsed and secondly, if she plays 'sober' just for the show.

I hope it isn't true either. I know battling alcoholism is incredibly difficult from personal experience (a family friend of mine), but she seems like she is doing so well this year. I have actually started to like Kim this season (despite her pop at Lisa in the last episode) and I think Bravo are expecting too much of her. She is battling sobriety and every day around some of the women must be incredibly difficult.

However, I don't mind if Kyle goes Really not a fan of hers.

Slightly off-topic in regards to those latest stories about Kim Richards but here's a clip of her appearance on Bethenny's talk show recently. She let's slip some info about what's still to come this season regarding Lisa. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcbxQX5nHow

I don't believe the stories about her not being sober. Period. Anyone who doubts can go watch the first 2 seasons - she's not even the same person. Remember during the first seasons she wasn't on talk shows and she was always spotted out and about drunk. That's not the case any more. It's quite a coincidence that every time someone falls out with Lisa a negative story appears about them on Radar and other sites - maybe Adrienne wasn't too far off the truth at season 2 reunion.

I hope she is back next season but if she gets demoted to a friend I won't be too upset as it's better than nothing. If Bravo get rid of her and Kyle quits they have a serious problem on their hands. Kyle has quite a big following and is very controversial and one of the main drama sources for the show.

I can't see the show fairing well with Lisa, Yolanda, Brandi, Carlton & Joyce returning. I think it has to be between Yolanda, Brandi & Carlton to leave or all 3 of them. Possibly Joyce too because she offers nothing other than being Kyle's friend and fighting with Brandi.

DC1983...how was she attacked? It just seemed that she was quizzed about her story. There was no aggressiveness or insults. Unless I missed something anyway.

I don't want to believe Lisa has anything to do with those stories but it would make an awful lot of sense. I just can't believe that anyone would make up a story like that. (the hotel thing)

I really hope that isn't true. Coming from ROL, it most likely isn't. She looks so much healthier than in the earlier seasons where it was blatantly obvious she was out of it. I do however, believe that this may be her last season on the show. So far the only storyline she has had is her dog being trained. I would actually welcome another good cast cleanout of BH. It is not the show it used to be.

I really Hope Kim has not relapsed but its Radar Online they BS all the time! As for her being fired well as much as she brings the comic relief in her confessionals she doesn't really have a storyline this season apart from her dog and kids going to college. I mean next season what will she have but saying that if Bravo do fire her Kyle will follow and that can not happen! I think this will be Lisa's last season as i think she will leave, she has her spin off now and its doing well.

But to loose 3 main women will do serious damage to the Beverly Hills franchise. But maybe being demoted will be what happens to Kim but when your demoted your hardly in the show anyway which means they dont get paid near enough the amount they get if full time i mean wheres Taylor this season we have only seen her what…once. Demotion on the Real Housewive's only means one thing….your of by the next season for sure.

Aren't the same bloggers who are now saying Kim is going to be sacked for no story the ones who have been reporting that Kim is set a huge storyline involving one of her kids suffering a nervous breakdown?

Which is it?

Your're right! I guess I came up with the wrong word. However, I still am on Lisa's side though. I read her diary/blog thing on the Bravo site and definitely understand her point of view.

I just can't deal with the housewives this season. Nene's racist remark about the show being good because they're 'brown' and not 'blonde. Now there's Brandi saying she wished she was molested as a child. Is she for real? She gotta go.

There is literally no way Brandi will be asked back to BH next season now. Bravo will have to take a stand against her as it's actually hitting the news in America. I can't believe I used to really like her. There are some things you just do not joke about, wishing you were molested as a child is definitely one of those things.

I could not agree more. What a disgusting thing to say! I used to love Brandi, I was team Brandi all the way, but comments like that just make me You do NOT say that, its not funny or clever and certainly not something to make a "joke" of. I cant see Brandi being asked back after this, surely Bravo will have to take a stand, the outrage will be crazy.

What has happened to Brandi? I used to love her, she has done herself no favours this season, and then to make a comment like that. There are no words.

Reading the stories above about Kim falling off the wagon....I don't see it being true. At least, I really, really hope they aren't. Id be so upset for her if they were. I've really warmed to Kim this season, mainly just because its so lovely to see her doing well, she looks happy and healthy and that's great to see. Does she bring much to the show? maybe not the way some of the others do, and I can see the stories of her being demoted to a "friend" next season possibly being true. Ok, her main storyline this year is training her dog , it might not be riveting drama, but Id rather see her doing that than battling her addictions like in previous seasons. Its nice seeing her happy. I don't believe for a minute that Kyle will up and quit though, she's way too much of a fameho for that She loves the attention!

This weeks ep was ok. I agree that its not the show it used to be though, and I wouldn't mind a cast revamp next season.
I did think Kim was a bit much having a go at Lisa for not attending the graduation party. At the end of the day its not that big a deal, and if Lisa RSVP'd No 2 weeks prior, plus sent a gift from Tiffany's, Id be inclined to just let it go. What I didn't like though was Kens comment to Kim so out of line and I'm glad Kim called him on it, as she should. That was a low blow, but I thought Kim handled it incredibly well.

Brandi and Joyce is getting a bit tiresome now. They both need to get over it. I don't mind Joyce, but really the only thing she has going for her this season is her feud with Brandi, without that you would forget she was there. And can we stop with all the bullying talk, the housewives (in all the franchises) throw that word around way too easily. Its their go to. Petty BS by women who are all old enough to know better is not bullying in my book.

I'm not really feeling Carlton either, and those scenes with her and Brandi were just ridiculous.

The gloves are off. Looks like it could be Brandi vs Kim at the reunion - Brandi tweeted this the other day

"Hmmm what 2do today-gym, taxes, get wasted pass out naked &wait for producers to find me? #soundslikeaparty"

She really is vile - and it wouldn't surprise me if she's behind the stories. Apparently Kim unfollowed her on Twitter too.

On another note, there are rumours for Faye to return but she has said if she's asked she'll say no. She even supported Kim to stay on the show which was nice.

Hate her or love her, Brandi is one of the very few sources of entertainment this season, she will definitely be asked back.

I doubt it. She has gone too far this time. The story is all over American news according to Americans at Allabouttrh.

I'm glad though - lets dump her, Yo & Carlton.

Hmmm I dunno... I'm not Brandi's biggest fan but I'd say that comment is clearly her way of trying to stick up for Kim. Using humor to undermine silly rumours.

Though Kim is a sensitive soul and may not see it that way... and maybe Brandi should really know that.

Well I have started to watch New York and i have to say i like it…its not as good as NJ or ATL but its good I watched some of season 1 and watched the reunion which was funny On season 2 episode 3 now…. and why did Alex get asked back lol i find her and her husband so weird and fame whores especially the husband. I love Jill find her funny along with Bethany and Ramona is hilarious she has crazy eyes but who is this Kelly?? From what i have seen so far she hardly hangs out with the other women.

I dont know if to skip Season 2 and watch the reunion? I like it but i just feel so behind i know the back stories now but i think i might stick it out

She spent a morning somewhere and was back by the afternoon. Like I imagine she was always going to be. I love the way she keeps retweeting stuff from people saying she was there as if she wasn't lying. There's a huge difference between 'I was away the whole weekend' and 'eeer well I was back in the evening' and then 'errr well maybe it was the afternoon'.

If she didn't want to go fair enough, she didn't need to lie about it.

I get why Kim's pissed. Lisa never goes to any of her events and clearly has no interest in doing so yet instead on just saying 'no thanks' plays the 'I simply couldn't' suggesting she would if she could.

And Ken is right Kim has missed a lot of Lisa's events and Lisa was never short of a snarky comment to make to Kim about it the next time she saw her.

I do love the way Lisa always goes don't rise to reports to other people... you know when they're husbands are accused of adultery. But suggest Lisa told a fib about a party or joke about a fake faint and she's tweeting up a storm and into emergency PR campaign mode.

Definitely stick with it. I'm sure the 'Madonna' comment comes up this season - it's hysterical the interactions between Kelly & Bethenny after that. The reunion is definitely their best as well. Watch Bethenny and Jill being friends while you can because after season 2 it goes downhill...very quickly.

yeah I'm going to stick it out.. Jill is alright but she seems like she wants/needs fame I like Bethany she's properly my favourite she has good comedy cheesy but funny lol and she seems down to earth compared to the rest of them.

Strangely enough after season 2, I really started to like Alex an Simon and I miss them now.
Kelly is dreadful, one of my least fave housewives ever as she is nuts.
You must watch S2 as I think AndrewDuncan is right and Beth makes a funny Madonna comment. If you were to skip any season I would suggest maybe 4 and the earlier part of 5 (it all kicks off in the second half)
I think out of al New York, Bethenny was my fave in 1 and 2 along with Jill, but in season 3 Ramona took over and I love her to bits now,

Saw the Madonna Comment But seriously who does this Kelly think she is? Bethany was right Kelly is just after fame and is desperate for it, i cant stand her. Ramona is already my fave i love how she just talks so fast sometimes and give that look with her crazy eyes Luann not to sure about I like her sometimes then find her a complete snob at other times.

Alex and Simon are weird lol but they aint actually that bad still obnoxious but Alex does seem like she's down to earth then Luann.

I am so annoyed at ITV2. Why oh why are they not showing the DC reunion part 2. The last 2 episodes and reunion part 1 were amazing, completely jaw dropping. I cannot believe the audacity of Machaele and Tareq. That has got to be one of the best finales ever. I am going to have to find somewhere to watch the second part of the reunion as it looks like it all kicks off.
