Newish to the the board, glad to see RH thread, there is just something the franchise that keeps me watching.



I found the Ryan in the last eipsode so very different to the Ryan that first appeared on screen. I am not excusing Ryans behavour at the party as it was very wrong but I really think that there is a lot more to it that what we saw. We know how much Vicki likes to be in her childrens lives and telling him what to do etc, it cant be that easy having Vicki as a mother-in-law.

I am not Vicki's biggest fan as I do find her very hypocritical as it seem to be one rule for her and another for the other girls but I did feel for her during the party.

It seems its another boy - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz...-baby-boy.html

ITA abut the proposal, it was totally OTT and yet so Gretchen.

I was not sure what to make of Laurie (SP?) this season.

I liked lydia she seem like light relief with what was going on woth the others.

It will be interesting just who does come back and who doesnt, we know that some of them have not be asked back BUT until they wrap filming I will take it with a pinch of salt. Alexis left before filming of last season but was back, and in BH Camilla left at the end of Season 2 she was back as a "friend" of the housewives and in it quite often.

The hardest one I found to get into to Miami. Didnt enjoy the 1st season very much but I thought the second was a lot better.
I agree with you that I'm not sure what Laurie added to the series. She seemingly mis-construed a situation that "Chinese whispered" into "Vicky's date more than man at once". Did that storyline ever get resolved?

Didn't think I would like Lydia at first but think she's a breathe of fresh of air. Seemingly she didn't get the new girl "hazing" that Gretchen got.

I can only join in conversations regarding the RHW progs that ITV2 are showing. Who are Christopher and Brandon from Atl?!

I don't think Carlton will be back. Looks like her blog has been cancelled. http://www.bravotv.com/people/carlton-gebbia/blog

I want her at the reunion though.

BIB - I am guessing they are husbands (or partners) of new housewives. I am in the UK like you so have only seen up to season 5.

Do you have Sky? They are now airing BH season 3 on Lifetime (channel 156) and Vanderpump Rules on Tuesday nights from 9pm.

They are featuring on Season 6. All the cast from Season 5 are back but it seems various different women are being ''auditioned'' throughout this season for the future. Christopher is the husband of a woman named Natalie. Natalie caused quite a stir with Kandi when she claimed her fiance Todd is an opportunist trying to use her for her money. She's also had problems with Kenya who revealed to everyone that Natalie and Chistopher aren't even married. Apparently he only refers to Natalie as his ''common law wife'' which has no legal standing in the state of Georgia.

It was Kenya revealing this that caused the big argument in the latest episode, resulting in a brawl when Brandon, Kenya's friend, stepped in when Christopher grabbed her arm. Phaedra's husband, Apollo, and Cynthia's husband Peter waded in and physically attacked Brandon.

Could be an error ? has that happened before to any other HW OR maybe she has received a ton of hate and is refusing to write her blog lol.

But after this weeks episode i am just so done with Carlton its obvious she watched this show before and thought it would be a good idea to go against Kyle i mean her arguments dont make any sense

Carlton is just a massive heap of contradictions. So she's perfect for reality television but it must be so infuriating to be up against someone like her.

She dislikes the fact Kyle talked about Lisa's 3/4 of a nipple > Had topless women greeting guests at her party

She dislikes Joyce talking about sex with her husband > Openly discusses sex with her own husband, gyrates on her mother-in-law in sex shops, flirts with her nanny, films herself decorating a room in her house to be turned into a sex dungeon!

The woman is clutching at straws and Kyle shouldn't even entertain it. She had a ''feeling'' about Kyle, she had a ''dream'' - none of these are proof that the woman dislikes you! So she heard Kyle made a negative remark about the toilet at her house. None of these are valid reasons to be such a cow to her. I really can't believe I'm saying this but I'm totally on Kyle's side here.

Carlton lost whatever shred of dignity she may have had when she revealed she put Kyle's necklace (given to her as a good gesture) into water to ''cleanse'' it. It really pointed out just how childishly deluded she is.

I know the show is essentially about privileged women bitching about first world problems but even by Beverly Hills standards this is ridiculous. The comments that Carlton has taken offense to so far are complete non-issues that anyone in the real world wouldn't really give a second thought about.

THIS!!! When she said that i was like are you for real...like seriously you would think Kyle was some Devil and she was trying to Kill carlton...but Carlton properly sees her as that lol. she is making good TV though imo i mean BH is kind of Dire this season i have to say....its really not hooking me like it use to.

The reunion will be interesting for sure but next season i think Bravo should do a NYC and do cast clean up and keep 2 originals and the rest let NEW ladies take the rains.

I only recall this once happening, that was when Faye's blog got canned due to the overwhelming hate and Carlton's has gotten a lot worse.

On this subject... Christopher and Natalie are actually married, the picture of the marriage certificate from Nevada in 1995 has been on a few websites in the past week. However, there is also a recent video of Christopher giving an interview during which he says that he is not married.

All in all, he's clearly a liar but Kenya shouldn't be involving herself in other people's relationship business.

It's weird I think Carlton has totally lost her mind over the Kyle business however at the same time I do understand and agree with her observations of Kyle somewhat.

Kyle like to be the alpha female and even when being friendly, particularly to new people there is a disrespectful undertone full of sly digs and put downs to maintain her dominant status. She did the same to Camille and Brandi. I do think Carlton initially saw through that, however it's got to the point of obsession where she thinks every little thing Kyle does is part of it.

To be fair to Kenya, Natalie came for Kandi's first and she was retaliating in the place of Kandi..which I don't agree with.

Does anyone even care if they were/are married? They're both dumb assess that can have a seat - away from the camera. They both stirred up crap for no reason. I just wanna see Kandi go crazy already.

Kyle and Camille were both as bad as each other during season 1. However, neither can be all that bad since they are good friends.

I disagree that Kyle needs to be the alpha female and is disrespectful. I think it's very telling that she's the only one that is friends with all the original housewives (minus Lisa) off camera.

Carlton was crazy. She came in with a load of bs that some viewers have branded Kyle with over the seasons and firmly sat herself in alignment with Lisa (the fan fave at the end of last season) and against Kyle (the unpopular one).

Has anyone read Lisa's blog this week? It's pathetic how she's trying to turn the blame to Kyle. Brandi & Yo is correct that it's strange for Kyle & Lisa to be friends again without the apology from Lisa?

Another two things I wanted to say but forgot.

Did any else think that, when David said it was meaning irrelevant, that Kyle was going to say 'well she is irrelevant?

Also, Lisa taking jabs at Kim for not being there...what a mess. She's getting called out quite a bit on her blogs for her behaviour this week. I don't think I've seen it be as much as this before.

No I agree Kyle is a good friend to people, I've always said that. No person is truly bad and no person is truly good. They all have sides.

Kyle likes to force her dominance, not necessarily in a knowing calculating, nasty way. However she uses subtle cues, digs to sustain her alpha status particularly when meeting new people. She gets under their skin which is why she bumps heads with practically every new woman on the show. I've said it before she comes off as a total spoilt youngest child, popular girl at school.

Eventually however she drops her guard, they drop their guard and they become good friend.

Carlton picked up on this quality of Kyles extremely quickly. Her guard went up immediately and took her to this extreme, crazy level of defensiveness. That now accuses Kyle of everything for nothing.

I'm understanding why Brandi has been saying things about Lisa using her to push Scheana (and in doing so Vanderpump Rules). Why was Lisa wanting Brandi to engage with Scheana in such a way, surely the fact Brandi can say hello to her in a civil manner is quite enough.

Especially when a few weeks ago Lisa was telling Brandi to ignore Joyce and Lisa herself won't even engage with you if you dare to suggest she can be a little bit snippy let alone be the women who had an affair with your husband.

Doesn't the BH reunion film this week? It will be interesting to see where each of them are seated, and I'm guessing we have about what 3-4 episodes left until we see the reunion i do wonder why they dont closer to the time of the last episode I guess its to build hype as they will release pictures maybe of it and of course the press will have stories on what went down and who said what etc.

I doubt it will be filming this week. Maybe in 3-4 weeks time. We've just had episode 14 and the synopsis' are up until episode 17. Episode 17 is when they fly to Puerto Rico. I'm guessing there will be at least 19 episodes. Most likely 2 for the trip and 1 or 2 (the finale) of them being back in Beverly Hills.

I think the reason is to allow enough time for editing as there's a lot of footage. I remember a housewive (Ramona, maybe?) moaning about being there for 14 hours and I'm sure most of that was filming.

I rewatched the fight with Carlton and Kyle. Did anyone else see Davids when Kyle called Carlton anti-Semitic? LOL. How strange was the way that Kyle just got up and walked all the way around the table to sit in a random seat that happened to be empty. It was obvious by Kyles reaction that Carlton got her from left field.

That's so odd that it's so soon. I always thought HW's weren't aloud to discuss when and where the reunion was...

Maybe they didn't know that, seeing as they are the newbies. But Lisa also posted one or two pictures from her and Andy at the VR Reunion, so I don't think the rules are that strict.

By the way, last season's (started on the exact same day as this season) reunion was taped on the first of MARCH.

I thought it very telling that Ryan (when asked who he was by Lydia's mother) said 'I own'.......... then changed it to 'I live here'.
Not impressed by him at all.

Just caught up with Beverly Hills. I don't have much to say except that Carlton is a total psycho and I'm totally over her.

Her level of defensiveness when it comes to Kyle is off the scale and she makes herself look like a lunatic. Also, just on a side note, she has awful skin, its like leather and irritates me no end!

The whole thing about her "cleansing" Kyle's necklace, that was given to her as a gift?! as Nene would say Girl, Bye! All from a dream she had about Kyle badmouthing her. She needs to get a grip. she's done the unthinkable and put me on Kyle's side, and that's truly unforgivable

I don't think there is a chance in hell she will be back next season and that totally suits me.

I loved the party Kyle and Lisa threw for Mauricio and Ken, and its always fabulous to see Kevin Lee again! He was thrilled when Jax grabbed hold of him and hopped into the pool. Hilarious! I totally agree with Lisa, that was all of his fantasies come true!

Im surprised if they are filming the reunion already, makes me wonder how much of the season we have left, they haven't went to Puerto Rico yet and normally they have their trip and Id imagine at least 1 ep back in BH as the finale. I guess we will see soon.

Maybe they are filming the reunion now cause Bravo just want to end this season and decide on the future of BH who they want back and who they dont. Like i said before i think they should do a NYC and do a clear out.

Carlton - Drop

Joyce - drop

Yolanda - Drop

Brandi - Drop ' After 3 seasons she has run her course now'

Kyle - Keep

Kim - Demote to Friend of the HW 'I will be shocked if she is still full time next season.. plus I dont think Kyle would do the show if Kim was of it completely so maybe bravo can meet Kyle halfway.

Lisa - Keep ' Both her and Kyle are the original's and are the ones who most deserve to stay on'

Then bring in 4 new ladies who have no connection to the RH *Hint* NO HoAnna, Beverly Hills really needs a makeover otherwise its going to become a Bitch fest and it will kill the franchise imo. don't get me wrong i love a good slang match and the old cat fight but this season BH just feels like High School stuff and its over stupid stuff.

I always thought the keeping / firing was to do with how much each housewife brought to the reunion. I honestly think that's one of the reasons why Taylor was fired from BH, I mean she contributed nothing to the S3 reunion.

Well Not really i mean look at Jill from NYC from what i saw she always had drama throughout and at the reunion's and even loopy Kelly lol.

They do get rid if a HW has done nothing all season but i think if they know the show need to be refreshed then a cast shake up is the way to go.
