I quite enjoyed The Real Housewives of Melbourne. The first episodes are usually quite dull for me anyway - it's just getting the usual introductions and establishing links within the group.

My favourites so far are Janet (who doesn't wash her own hair!), Jackie and Gina. Not too fussed on the rest yet.

Jackie is, as we've been told 27 times during the episode, married to a rock star. She's a psychic, she sees into the future - she tells us her husband looks exactly like Johnny Depp. She may see spirits and angels but she can't see that her husband is no Johnny effing Depp! But she only has champagne and erm... eggs in her fridge so that's all that matters! My kind of woman! Her bitching about of ''f***ing party for fat-sucking machines'' was easily the most amusing moment of the episode.

I also enjoyed the very shady comment Gina threw at Jackie in the limo. ''I'm a barrister. I deal with FACT.'' I'm surprised nobody picked up on it.

Then there's Chyka (for some reason I want to scream ''AY AY AYYYYY!'' everytime I hear her name). She tells us she likes her house to have layers and every corner tell a story - roughly translated as ''I'm a borderline hoarder.''

I'll be watching again next week.

I quite enjoyed The Real Housewives of Melbourne. Reminded me of S1 BH.
I think that was the reason why I was unsure of it, as it seemed like the storyline with the psychic was a rip off of Beverly Hills with that crazy woman and the E cig.
I did like the blonde woman with the cosmetic surgery though. I will stick with it though for sure.
Can't believe we now have another break with Atlanta. The Mexico trip looks like it will be really good.

Alison Dubois? After seeing the programme Medium, I concluded that the only thing they had in common was the name. Character wise, the TV Alison Dubois bore no relation to the real life woman!

I haven't seen the Beverly Hills one, but I'd be surprised if the casters picked Jackie because of any similarity to someone in another series, however close the similarities might be. To me she seems a perfect choice for this cast for a host of reasons, so I think she would have got in regardless.

No, she wasn't like Alison Dubois, but the storyline was exactly the same.

There is way too much smiling in the RHOC pictures at the airport

RHOA was good but what I found most funny is the event kind of collapsed after Nene left. They only did two events! What was the point? Was it for charity? Another success to add to the Cynthia Bailey resume that includes the Miss Renaissance pageant

NeNe just looks worse and worse every episode now and it her tops saying 'Im Very Rich; was really tacky. I think Marlo was genuinely pissed with NeNe i mean she thought she was her friend and was even a bridesmaid and the NeNe starts acting all weird and then doesn't put Marlo in her team. I LOL when Marlo called her hair Donald Trump then if you saw it when NeNe gets to her car she touches her hair

I hope they bring Marlo to the reunion cause her being there alone will bring big drama!

I don't think it was for charity... I think it was just meant to be about exercising while having fun. It should have been better organised though as it just looked a big mess, even before the NeNe/Marlo drama.

One thing that really annoyed me was Cynthia's "some of us need exercise more than others comment", the weight jibes on RHOA this season are getting really old now and are totally uncalled for.

OMG this episode of Beverly Hills made feel ill lol.... Brandi really p*issed me she just sat there the whole time she there the bon and sat back and watched it explode, I think the reason why she was so called 'scared' to confront lisa was because she knew she was stirring. And Im sorry but for Kyle to believe Brandi who called her sister a Meth addict amongst other things is really confusing ok Lisa says stuff which is not right but you also have to look at Brandi...she is a fame whore who wants to be on top she used Lisa and was jealous of Kyle and Lisa becoming friends again so she decides to throw Lisa under the bus to create more drama between them. From watching it and seeing Brandi smirk at the dinner table really made my blood boil surly they could see Brandi smirking.

As for Yolanda STFU...Jeeze this woman is so annoying she goes on to lisa 'are you a friend or are you a hollywood friend' but she's the one who talks behind Lisa's back as we have seen previously.

I think Kyle and Lisa would be friends if it wasn't for the likes of Yolanda and Brandi stirring the pot all the time.

I think Lisa, Yolanda and Brandi all knew about the tabloids but since it never went no where and Brandi got Jealous of Kyle and Lisa and Lisa was not calling Brandi anymore she decides to put all the blame on Lisa.

Wow at that epsiode of BH. So much happened!

Carlton wasn't missed at all but it'll be interesting to see what happens when she finds out about all this, it appears she'll take Lisa's side.

Joyce's scenes with her family were very endearing, I'm starting to like her more now.

Brandi loved all that chaos, she said she thought she was used by Lisa but basically sat back and used Yolanda and Kim to attack Lisa. I feel bad for Lisa in that instance, being attacked by everyone, she and Ken defended themselves well though.

Totally agree. I will be the first to say that Lisa is no angel and stirs the pot from time to time but for Kyle to believe a pathological liar like Brandi is absurd. Personally I would believe OJ Simpson before I would believe anything that comes out of her gob.
All Brandi had was 'she no longer calls me in the morning'. PATHETIC. Afterall, all season she has been saying she wanted Lisa to back off and when she does she's no longer a friend and deserves to be 'brought down'.
I used to really like Brandi, but her true colours have shown and they are a shade of shitty brown.
Yolanda also didn't come off very well in this episode. I think all the acid in those lemons have messed with her head.
Only two more episodes until the reunion starts and all I can say is thank god. It's sad how bad this show has become but hopefully with a cast shakeup it will be better next year.

I loved this weeks episode of Beverly Hills.

The scene's between Joyce and her family were sweet. You can tell she really adores her Mum. I like her husband as well. I also think it's her first episode and blog in a while that she hasn't used the word 'bully' which I'm so glad about because that was the only problem I ever really had with her.

On the beach...I liked Yolanda calling Lisa out for the Hollywood Friend thing because so many people have said it off camera so it was about time it was said to her face. I like Yolanda a lot this episode, especially, her calling Ken out numerous times. I wish she would have just told him to speak to her husband instead of engaging with him - although I'm sure Ken wouldn't have been so forward if it had been David there. -but she's a strong woman and doesn't need her husbands defence it seems. However, even though I was liking Yolanda she was instigating and stirring everything.

Lisa getting up and running off was very hypocritical considering for the last 4 seasons all she's done is stir things up and tell people to confront others. She was even doing it in season 1 trying to get Taylor to confront Kim. Anyway, then I was unsure why she persisted to tell Ken & Mo that all 4 of them were being mean when Kyle & Kim hadn't yet said anything at this point.

Brandi telling Kyle couldn't have come at a worse time either but I suppose Brandi isn't known for her timing or appropriateness. I wasn't sure why Lisa expected Kyle to come and see if she was ok either. I just don't get her high expectations from Kyle when she continues to slam her left and right. I believe Brandi that Lisa wants to take Kyle down all the way because she still hasn't gotten over season 2 yet.

It was also funny hearing Lisa mention all the names Brandi has had an issue with - did she not realise she too has had an issue with every one of them? Plus Camille, Brandi & Yolanda now. Lisa and Brandi are both cut from the same cloth and I wouldn't care if both got the boot.

Lisa did say to bring the magazines, her reaction revealed it all. Firstly, she wasn't even shocked that she was being accused. Sorry, but if you were accused of something like that out of the blue then you'd definitely be shocked. Secondly, she then refused to talk to Brandi about it and tried to brush it under the rug. Very strange. She was talking out both sides of her mouth the entire episode and it was tiresome to watch. As was the petty 'you haven't called me' BS that Brandi was worried about. Fair enough the Scheana thing but other than that it's nonsense. Anyone else think it could be Stassi that told Brandi? I have a feeling it's her now she's left SUR.

On to the dinner table. Kyle had every right to bring it up and it was the perfect opportunity to get them both in the same place so they couldn't lie and blame it on the other. Lisa done some more talking and tried to focus on semantics and divert the conversation and it was irritating. Not sure why Ken counted 4 on 1 before Kim had spoken and Kyle had only asked the question. Kim trying to explain the story so that everyone could understand rather than everyone screaming over each other was the sensible idea because Lisa was getting half of what Brandi was saying and then Yo would interrupt. Once again, Ken was being rude to the women and started name calling - it was quite embarrassing for a 60 year old man (side note: LOL at Yo saying Lisa was 55 and she wasn't). Yolanda handled it well though. Kim had every right to go off on Ken, he speaks to her like dirt and it's unacceptable. Period. He was the one saying how no one could attack Brandi because she has no man...what about Kim? Kimmy giving it to Ken has been my highlight of the season. Then Ken & Lisa got up and ran out because they felt 'attacked'. In my opinion, if Ken hadn't started shouting, throwing accusations and name calling that would never have escalated like that.

Outside: Ken trying to discredit Kim's sobriety enraged me so much. That's the second low blow he's given her but this one was just disgusting to say the least. I had a ton of respect for Lisa in that moment for defending Kim. It does make you wonder though, the day after the episode of Lisa & Kim falling out there's a story about Kim falling off the wagon and a few episodes later Ken starts saying this, maybe it's a coincidence but I still think the Vanderpump-Todd camp are behind that one.

Looking forward to next week were it looks like we'll finally see some fun!

I definitely think next season I'd only keep Kyle, Kim, Joyce & Brandi but I know Lisa will definitely be asked back along with Kyle so maybe Kyle, Kim, Joyce & Lisa with 2 newbies. This franchise needs Taylor Armstrong back - she's left a hole in the show for me - we need her over-dramatic, laughable ways.

Totally agree. I understand why some people dislike(d) her and whilst she was never one of my favourites, she is definitely a miss. I think it's her unbelievably large mouth I miss the most. < Is now known as 'The Taylor'.
On a side note, you should all read Marlo's blog, it is hilarious. I didn't like her until this season, but I now want her to be on the show full time next season.

I love me some Marlo but I think that's because we get her in small doses, I think she'd soon do my head in if she became a full time housewife... Having said that I'd take her over Mynique or Natalie next season.

Did Taylor do anything memorable in S3? I don't see the big fuss about her. I'm watching the current season of Couple's Therapy, which she's on, and the only time she's ever entertaining is when she's drunk.

I prefered Taylor to Kim... Kim i like sometimes then the next i just find her annoying i know she is still in recovery but apart from the odd humour for me she doesn't bring much to the show and I cant see her being full time next season.

I'd be shocked if Kim is back as a full-time Housewife for Season 5 - I'm assuming she's only back this year to further prove that she's well, sober and reliable. But seriously, she's brought nothing to the table. She may interject an odd time with some humour in her talking heads but all she's delivered in Season 4 is a dog and calling Ken a ''stubborn old man''. Boring, move along.

Lisa was right to call out Brandi on all the women she's had a problem with. It's now her turn for the Brandi-bite. Lisa may have had her problems with the same people at some point (they're all guilty of this to be fair), but Brandi's arguments have always been far more volatile. I liked Brandi during Season 2 and 3 - but this year her attitude is far more brattier than ever. She's come across like some spoiled teenager who wants Mom to quit fussing over her. She's just turned on the one Housewife who has always had her back throughout all her dramas - which Brandi admits were all her own doing. If you think about it, there's never been a period of Brandi not having bad blood with someone during her time on the show.

BH: Joyce and Carlton out? http://tmz.me/Nvchdx
ATL: Kim coming back? http://www.networth2013.com/kim-zolciak/

I don't mind Kim coming back, Carlton can go, Joyce would be a pity, I quite like her.

Just watched the NY episode with the psychic... Quite shocking how Ramona and Sonja reacted... Bless Ramona, she had no idea! However, watching LuAnn being thrown around like a rag doll by a camel was F-ing hilarious!!!
NY really was the best franchise IMO ... I hope it can return to its best!

Do Carlton and Joyce actually need to be replaced though? Why can't the Beverly Hills cast work with 5 women? The only one who needs replaced is Kim. Bring Camille back!
