Agree 100% - it's very annoying. DC would have been an excellent series and it's a shame there was only one series. Can't think of any good reason why the final part of the reunion isn't being shown by ITV2.

I had to find the second part of the reunion online. It is up there with the best reunions ever done. The amount of BS from Tareq and Michaele is unbelievable. When you think they cannot get any worse, they do. I think even Andy had enough of their BS I think ITV2 have done a huge injustice not showing it.

Im on episode 11 now of S2 NY and Im hooked My day of work spent watching it. Im actually starting to like Alex and Simon i thought it wouldn't be possible but they are some what add something different to the show. As for Kelly Im hating her every episode the way she was late to her own party was pathetic, everything has revolve around her. Bethany is still my favourite I can see why she got her own chat show now she has good sense of humour and she knows how to deliver, Jill is cracking me up she's a bit out there but i like it. I can tell this reunion is going to be epic can not wait to see what they have to say about Kelly and what she has to say.

I just looked aswel why was there a year gap between the last season and the new one coming up?

^ I think it was due to ratings being lower than expected for the last season so they went out and looked for the perfect new housewives. (I'm just guessing but its the only reason I can think of, lol).

The ratings were lower than season 4 and despite this the housewives still wanted a considerable raise. So there was a bit of a stand off and speculation that the show would be cancelled. The cast cull at the end of season 4 really destroyed the shows momentum and if rumours are true that they are planning on doing the same to Beverly Hills then they are insane.

Beverly hills is the 3rd highest rated show (after Atlanta & NJ - although if the latter drops at the same pace as last season, BH will be the 2nd) so it'd be a ludicrous decision.

She hardly hung out with the other women because the only way the other women could get into the places Kelly hung out was if they were serving the drinks. Kelly was brought in to legitimize the Housewives brand of being about high society women.

Despite going down well with the audiences Atlanta and New York were getting a lot of damaging press regarding the fact the women were wannabe, fake high society broads. The 'Housewives' brand was purporting to be about the rich and fabulous yet it was revealed that all the Atlanta Housewives (barring Deshawn, the one who wouldn't bring the drama) were pretty much broke. And while the New York housewives were all quite successful they weren't anywhere near approaching the New York society the show was marketing itself as.

Hello Kelly and Kandi!

Kelly was real deal New York high society who was originally brought in as a guest so it looked like the cast did move in circles with the toast of New York. They were looking at her to do a fashion show for Bravo which never happened in the end and I don't think the show ever dreamed she would become a full time member of the cast (Because why would she? Her status already allowed her what being your average housewife offers), yet she did.

And she pops up for a few episodes again in Season 6 from what I gather. I'd have to assume someone at Bravo has dirt on her because why would she go near this show?! As you say, she didn't really need to in the first place. Secondly, she was portrayed as a total loon throughout her entire run on the show - it can't have helped her career or reputation.

"Honestly, if being inauthentic means graduating from Columbia University, writing three books, starting two magazines, bearing two children, being the ambassador for wool, running a marathon for charity -- if that's inauthentic? Tell me what authentic is." - Kelly Bensimon

What the f*** is an ambassador for wool?!

To be honest it doesn't seem to have any effect either way. She's still the high society madam she always was just with a little higher profile than before. And that is her career essentially.

She can still get housewives-esque vanity projects ie book deals, wines, skin care and jewellery line etc just by being Kelly Bensimon. She has just released a perfume out so I assume she'd probably be happy to do a quick stint on the show to help give it a push.

Ok watching the reunion now and Kelly was done for beating her ex? She said he was lying but any news on what exactly happened.

I have not warmed to Kelly at all and each every episode she was in i hated her more and more she was so stuck up and she forgets what she said and done when Bethany confronted her about stuff.

This reunion is so good though....onto part 2 now

I started liking Kelly in season 4. During season 3 I felt bad for her with the scary island situation.

She has always said she was never really a housewive and that we dont really know much about her which is kinda true, who knew she was a twin?

Just read the synopsis' for the next few episodes of BH and I cant wait- after this episode it looks like it all kicks off!

RHOA was really good tonight and set the scene ready for next week... According to the preview next week is the big pyjama fight, can't wait to see that go down.

The husbands of RHOA (Peter, Todd, Greg & Apollo) are on Watch What Happens Live tonight so hopefully they'll have something interesting to say about all the goings on.

I really enjoyed it too. Not used to Cynthia bitching like that but I liked it. Kenya's reaction made me LOL. I do not believe for one minute that she has this boyfriend in Africa, but her delusional behaviour is part of her charm for me.
Next weeks episode looks good, however I have a feeling that the whole episode will build up to the fight and then we won't get to see it all until the week after. They always seem to do that which is annoying.
Also, what is happening with adding all these new women to the mix, does anyone else think they are auditioning for the next season?

I think they are definitely auditioning for next season - Natalie, Mal, Marlo, Mynique and maybe even Lexis are all vying for a place. Although I think Mynique definitely failed her audition especially given the way that her and Chuck are slagging Bravo off all over the place at the moment.

I also think that the reason Kenya is being so rude to all the new girls is because she feels that her place on the show is threatened by them.

No doubt you'll be right about next week and we'll get all the build-up then have to wait another week for the action. After seeing the preview of the fight before the season started I was baffled as to what would make Kandi so mad but last night definitely set up everything ready for an explosion... Having all the HWs and their husbands (and Kenya's assistant) plus Natalie & Christopher and Mynique & Chuck all in the same room was always going to bring fireworks.

Apparantly Kenya's boyfriend is this dude - http://www.modernghana.com/news/5060...um-minist.html

He's been linked to quite a few high profile women, including Naomi Campbell, has 2 wives and made his money in very dodgy ways... What a catch for Kenya

ATL is finally picking up! Loved Kenya this episode she knows how to throw shade and stir that tea I agree i think Bravo are having these new women on the show to see who can join fully next season I would love Marlo because that woman is crazy like genuine crazy she will bring the drama....but doesn't she have a fight with NeNe soon ?

The others i couldn't really care about tbh my money is on Phaedra being the one axed or demoted she is funny with her one liners but for me she doesn't really bring much now.

I loved Atlanta's last episode. I agree that it seems the others are auditioning for a spot. Mal doesn't seem interesting enough, I forgot Lexis was there (she looked a little intimidated, either by the group or cameras - I aint sure)and the other 2 have been made to look like fools and have been read sideways already- although it looks they aren't done auditioning yet going by next weeks preview. Marlo I would be open to though...especially, if they brought Sheree back!

I love Kenya. She is crazy as hell but is bringing it this season & so far she is the only one who is - I love her! I love Kandi but the whole Todd thing is grating on me. I'm sick of all the fat jokes about her too, it's so rude and inappropriate - especially coming from Lard ass Nene. Lexis looked so uncomfortable during that scene. Porsha never bothered me that much this episode.

I definitely think Nene should go, what a waste of $1 million. She doesn't even have a storyline. Probably wont happen though.

Next season Porsha will go. The only way she is saving herself is this new 'well known' man comes on and their relationship plays out on camera.

Other than her I'd say either Phaedra or Cynthia - One goes as a friend and the other keeps their spot.

Brilliant ep of Atlanta last night. Really enjoyed it.

Kandi OWNED that ep at the end for me. Her "Your letting me know you think I'm a hot bitch, and I AM.....Give it up for Todd cos he came up" Natalie's face was a picture. Girl got READ. Bye Boo.
Gotta love some Kandi, girl after my own heart!

Agree that they seem to be auditioning these new ladies for next season. So far Mynique hasn't been able to bring it, Malorie is far too quiet for this bunch and Natalie just got hung out to dry....though lets see what next week brings. Im no fan, but Marlo is probably the only one who can really bring it with these ladies and that's just because she is cray-cray. Certifiably so! I also think if she and Kenya were to get into it that would be a whole other level of insanity.

Kenya was brilliant value this ep as well. She's so crazy and positively revels in stirring the pot, and throwing shade! Im still not buying her African billionaire "boyfriend" but I do love her delusions!

Next week looks great, though I agree that we will probably only get the beginning of the fight and then have to wait till the week after.

I'm not sure they are auditioning other women. More they need some guest characters to stir the pot with the women all getting on quite well and that being a formula that has become a hit.

Have someone come on, cause a bit of trouble and then let them go instead of tireless endless bitterness that stagnates until viewers started turning off.

That works much better because they can create more heightened drama and then get rid in a way the couldn't with a regular. These Myniques and Natalies aren't being auditioned to be the next Cynthias or Kandis they're there to be the next Penny Drossoses and Faye Resnicks.

The worst thing about ATL this season has been the number of fat comments aimed at Kandi and Phaedra, its just unnecessarily bitchy and when it comes from Nene it is totally hypocritical.

Just watched the latest episode of RHOA, can't wait for next weeks show, fight, fight, fight! Been waiting to see that drama, since the previews, should be good

Kenya and Nene are terribly bitchy and neither have perfect bodies themselves but slag off other women's figures, they need to look in the mirror

Loved Kenya this episode, serving it left, right and centre. I don't doubt her story either, why would she make up something so random.

Does Apollo get involved in next weeks fight?? What business is it of his, god he obviously trying to keep Phaedra relevant.

Next week looks so good though

Well that was hands down the worst episode of Beverly Hills I ever saw. I wish they would just get to the good stuff as personally I couldn't care less about seeing Carlton auditioning pole dancers or the women boxing and I really don't care about seeing which trailer park ratchet face came from. Bring on NY.

I agree pretty poor episode i think next season needs some major changes and a new direction BH has become so bitchy its not even good bitching its just to much.

I have only discovered NY on S3 and loving it so i have that to keep me going but i cant wait for New Jersey to come back 2 new wives and i think its going to be a classic NJ season I think it comes back in May which is so long

Catching up on housewives. Why the hell was Yolanda a no-show at both the graduation party AND Lisa's brunch party? She wasn't even mentioned once in that episode. Really weird.

Ok Im on S3 episode 12 of NY and is Kelly mental because this girl has seriously lost it she is sooooo Paranoid! Saying how she had dreams of Bethany killing her and how she tried to kill her before LOL WTH this woman is crazy...i was kind of thinking she was ok but these past few episodes she has lost it.
