Bethenny looking very thin!

Yaaaay, managed to find BH episode I'd deleted on Sky+ online and found one which would actually play!

I will quote my Hub who watched with jaw on floor - "they're all a bunch of ******* fruitbats"!!!!!

It's the one where Brandi has a party and Taylor goes ape at Camille and her friends. I now understand more the posts about Taylor milking it and being a drama queen etc.

On the whole I'm finding my likes/dislikes haven't changed much but for now they are:

Lisa and Kyle joint favourite. I don't like Kyle when she hogs the limelight but like her attitude to cosmetic surgery and find her generally grounded vs the rest. Lisa I like for being earthy and feisty and dry but she's a but indulgent over Pandora's wedding for me.

In the middle are Camille (not sure whether she's better than last series or just on less"!)
Kim who irritates but I feel sorry for, ish
Adrienne is rapidly going down the list - partly for being a git to her Hub and partly for being a prima donna about Lisa not using her hotel etc

I can't bear Brandi - she's classless in the extreme which is saying something amongst this lot!
Not seen Dana lately but she's no better.



Hoping to watch a few more this week!

Am annoyed to read above that ITV are repeating OC again! I was hoping the recent shows were leading up to the latest series

Just about to watch the first episode in the new NY series. I dont know how it's going to be without Jill and having to get to know 3 new famewh*res/sorry HoWives. Where's Sassy, she's usually watched the latest episodes by now?

Thanks for the link Blokeypoo I totally forgot that NY aired last night. Glad you found your missing eppy, Brandi's party was so that would have been quite an episode to miss.

Hi Tally - maybe Sassy is away for the long w/e? Hopefully she'll be in soon

If I ever get round to NY I'll miss Jill, I liked her - Ramona I really wouldn't miss and happy Alex has gone too.

Me too!

Thanks tally, Ive been dying to post but Ive been so behind lately so been having a mad catch up session. Im just about up to speed, Ive got the latest OC to watch, and the new NY to get to aswell. Right, Im just going to jump right in so here I go.....

Tardy- I adore this show, I cant even tell you how much I love it. (Note to Kim, be like this on the next season of Atlanta, shes fabulous) Im so glad she and her bf Jen made up, Jen just isnt interested in the limelight and being in front of the cameras and I think the whole thing was stressing her out BIG style. I thought the e-mail was lovely and Im glad Kim totally understood where she was coming from. She will be much happier being there as a guest, as opposed to maid of honour.

I felt bad for Kim being so ill the day before her wedding, but hey, theres nothing a truck load of meds and shopping for crazy expensive diamonds cant fix! I loved her face when the jeweller said that Kroy told her to pick any piece she wanted, "How much is that? $400,000? Ok, I NEED that....." So do I Kim, so do I!! Of course, much drama brewing with her "friend" Kendra, it seems Kim hasnt paid her for anything yet. I do love Kim, why pay the rent when your busy buying diamonds?! Having read a bit more online, Im rather confused about Kims living situation though, it seems Kendra has no intention of selling the house to her, and apparently agreed to rent it to Kim as it would feature on RHOA, thus encouraging actual buyers!

But the best thing was the "de-wigging" I swear to God I was actually breathless with anticipation, it was ridiculous! And she looked fab, her hair was fantastic. At first I thought she had bottled it and was still wearing a wig ( though shorter, and with less va va voom than usual) Im sure she wont, but she should ditch the wigs, her real hair makes her look so much more gentler, for lack of a better word!

OC- Ok, so I basically agree with everything tally said about this, but ill admit, I felt a little sorry for Alexis, the way they utterly tore her apart, it was awful. Im no fan of Alexis as Im sure is obvious, but that was unaclled for, what a pack of bitches. Tamra totally fell into her previous "bitch from hell" mode although I kinda get that, tamra loves a good bitch fest and shes never happier than when shes ripping someone apart, but nobody had Alexis back, not even Gretchen. I dont know why they bothered to take her with them, it was just so they could get her in a corner and let rip. Not cool ladies, not cool. Having said that, I have no problem with them letting loose on Jim, hes vile and utterly deserves it all. Loser. Again, Im no fan of Alexis, but it was harsh.

NJ- SO glad Im not the only one losing the will for New Jersey, and I used to LOVE it. This season has been awful so far. rapidly going off Caroline, what the hell is with her?! what was it Tre said? It must be the menopause making her a bitch She was awful this episode, and seriously needs to get over her fascination with Tre. Yes, caroline, tre is the reason for all the issues in your family. Whatever. It really does say something when I have more respect for Tre than any of the rest of them right now

I was a bit aswell at just how many of these famous Laurita siblings DID not bother showing up for their brothers wedding. Lovely. And as for juicy and his "jokes", he really is a piece of crap. cant stand the man. The sad thing is that Tre clearly adores him I hope he does do time when hes up in court, I think Tre could thrive without him. Lets face it shes the one doing all the work anyway......

Sorry for the long post, but I just like to get it all out haha Im looking forward to NY (cant wait to hear what tally makes of it) Ill miss Jill aswell, dont get me wrong, she was awful, but she did make for great tv. And I loved her fights with Ramona But at least no more Kelly, what a treat! I bet Alex and Simon are seething about being booted off though!

So glad you've caught up Sassy. I just like to know it's not just me. I'm so out of synch with the US boards, they think completely differently from me.

And so to NY. What to say?

There's going to be such a bitchfest this season, Ramona has totally lost the plot. D'you think while she's totally overpromoting her Pinot G she's become an alkie? (I love how she turns up to every event with bottles of her own wine. Not classy you idiot! ) She and Mario (who I thought was not only hot, but sane) are even more batshit insane than before. Disappointed with him at Ramona's bash.

Most of this episode is introducing the 3 newbies as they fake "get to know each other" over surprise parties. One has a prosthetic leg which grosses Sonia out when they go for a pedicure and she takes along an extra leg to be manicured!! You couldn't make this up could you? The other one ( related distantly to the Kennedys) wrote a bestseller 10 years ago about her husband dying of cancer and does not want to keep reliving it at parties. Another doesn't want to talk children...so Ramona and false leg lady ( sorry I'll get the names soon) proceed to do nothing else.

Luann is beside herself that she's friends with someone who was a princess and they talk French for a bit just so that Lu can big herself up. God I hate that woman. Of course she's still feuding with Ramona over last seasons' Ramona gem that she was only a part time Mother. Somehow R's blackmailing her over her kids as well, though I've only just got why. Because she knows things about the kids that she's going to tell the whole Hamptons about. Sheesh, Ramona is in a world and a league of her own. Grow up!

At Ramona's party she insults nearly everyone with a string of unending babble. But the best part was the preview of the coming season. Hold onto your hats, it's going to be a bumpy ride when the newbies drop the fake politeness!! Jill would have been in her element, though I'm glad there's no Kelly. I didn't miss Alex either.

Oh and we got to see an exhibition of Victoria's art in Lu's garage. They'd have to pay me to take one, but all the newbies make like Victoria's Picasso. What an insult to a brilliant painter.

Oh, nearly forgot one of the best bits, fake leg lady ( I think) but one of the newbies ex husband has dated Sonia AND Lu. Maybe they'll compare notes?


Cant wait for next week.

Gretchen and Slade gossip

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz...de-Smiley.html

Hey, they stole my line from my post last week.

OC was a bit weird this week following on from the mauling they gave Alexis last week. Gretchen was very hurt after Alexis (understandably) left the table in tears to be alone, and wouldn't talk to her, but talked to Vicki. All this lot are so self centred they wind up not comforting Alexis but bringing it all round to themselves.

Most of the Real HoWives are so narcissistic you wonder if it's a prerequisite trait of being booked. I'd just watched "Jades' Legacy " and was really choked up by some of the women, one of which had just found out her cancer was terminal, when I watched this. I wanted to chuck something at them as they whinged about such trivia and shallowness.

Which defeats the purpose of the HoWives. They're supposed to make me feel better about myself and the show is supposed to not require any brain or introspective feelings. It's watchable trash.

Vicki also has a meltdown, the like of which I've never seen in 7 seasons. Basically, fuelled by the extreme hurt of Brianna eloping, she's feeling guilty about divorcing Donn. According to Radar Online the new man is only with her for the fame and money and has a string of undesirable stories, including hitting on every female at an event they went to, DUI's, child support non payment. etc. There's a reason your kids and friends dont like him, Vic. Still karmas a bitch isn't it?

Vicki looked every one of her 40 something years after the white water rafting ( which, like them, would have freaked me out, especially telling them there were piranhas in the river ) while Tamra and Gretchen still looked immaculate.

I'm going off Heather a bit. She's become way too judgemental too soon. But as they leave Costa Rica, they're all sentimental vowing to be life long buddies. Ha! I'll give it 4 days max before the infighting starts again.

They plant a tree each as part of their being green and to remember their hols. But Vicki ruins it by talking about when they die.

Shessh, this lot are incapable of thinking more than 2 days ahead, mortality doesn't feature in their brains.

Looks like Eddie proposes next week. Is it me or is he revoltingly ugly?

Wig news lol

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz...real-hair.html

Watched the latest from The OC last night, as tally has said it picks up right after the drive by they pulled on Alexis. I was speechless when Heather and Tamra then proceeded to get up, walk over to Alexis and ask her to hug it out! Id have slapped them. Yeah, you have just sat her down, told her how awful she is & that she should basically change everything about herself, but hey, lets have a hug and thats that!

Im no fan of Lex, but she seemed genuinely gutted by what they had just done to her, and no wonder. Then Gretchen starts with her "this is so hard on me" routine and gets all upset when Alexis wont speak to her, but will talk to Vicki- (on a sidenote, how much was Vicki loving that?! She was like, she wont speak to you, but she still likes ME!) though as this is Vicki shes not really comforting Alexis, but making it all about herself. Of course.

tally hit the nail on the head, they are all SO narcissistic and selfish it defies belief.

I liked the bit on the beach with the monkeys though, they were SOOO cute! I want one lol And I was in hysterics at the white water rafting too funny! Not sure Id have been thrilled about getting in the boat though after saying they have piranhas in the river!

Vicki really did start to lose it big time though, I know I should propably feel sorry for her, and I suppose I do (a bit) but really, the whole thing with Brianna- she cant actually be surprised that she went and eloped, you would wouldnt you! I noticed she finally admitted how she was never home the last couple of years of her marriage to Donn- too busy at her precious Coto insurance. I know Vicki has a work ethic and thats fine, but its to the detriment of everything else in her life and thats the problem. As for Brooks, well, thats a disaster waiting to happen. Shes got her very own Slade in that one!

I did find that little scene with Gretch, Tamra and Vicki funny though, when they are sat in a restaurant and Tamra says to Gretchen that she has to tell her something......Vicki slept with slimy Slade! Great stuff, and Vickis face was a picture!

So next week it looks like Eddie is gonna pop the question to Tamra- I must say Im slightly surprised as Tamra did say before she was done with marriage. Eddie seems decent enough though, and no tally its not just you, I dont find Eddie attractive either. I find him quite cringey in a funny way actually.

Also, I guess we are nearing the end as it appears they have just filmed the reunion this week. Apparently its going to be "crazy" but then, they always say that! Also, Andy tweeted that he was attacked during filming- mentally or physically Im not sure so it should be interesting anyway!

Hopefully catch up on NY tonight, Im so looking forward to this new season!

Oops! meant to include this in my post above ^^^^

I knew Kim wouldnt go with her real hair on the wedding day as Ive seen the pictures, but her real hair looked great. MUCH better than I was expecting. I guess shes just not comfortable without the wigs now, and I guess they are very Kim!

Now this is a show I look forward to every week. I love it. Especially when you consider how awful NJ has been so far this season. I actually really miss the Atlanta housewives and I cant wait for a new season. Its gone way up in my housewives list again lol

I thought Tardy was going to be the wedding this week, but it's a teaser episode. Very enjoyable once again, and I'll give Colin Cowrie his due, it looks absolutely fabulous.

Kroy I've always thought a bit of a wimp, but he's so over the moon in love with Kim ( when's their second sprog due?) he's sweet. Which from the preview cant be said about the wedding. Looks like trouble with police, screechingetc. I've loved this series so I wanted everything to go off smoothly.

Sassy, I totally forgot to mention the monkeys in Costa Rica. They were adorable and so tame. That was a great scene and Costa Rica looked fantastic. But our ladies wont be going back anytime soon, I bet.

Also loved Vicki's outrage at Tamra touching her boobs when she was drunk. I just cant imagine Vicki letting go at any intimate time, can you? She's so uptight it's untrue. Still, if it stops her saying how Brooks is filling up her love tank, I'll be a happy bunny. EWK @ that particular picture in my mind. Brain bleach needed.

Ok, so I just want to give my thoughts on the "new" NY.

Overall, I really enjoyed it. but OMG the preview for whats coming up this season was certainly the best part, its going to be Insane from the looks of it! cant wait to see the bit where Aviva? (think thats her name) calls Ramona and Sonja White Trash True though! And they are going to London which looks like fun, seemingly without Ramona though.

So, back to the actual ep, as tally has said its basically just a big intro for the 3 new ladies. I loved how at the start it was Luann and Aviva going for lunch and Luann is like "Oh, Aviva and I have been friends for YEARS......" yeah, right. They have propably met a few times for a total of 5 mins, but never let that get in the way when introducing a new housewife/victim/assasin* its hard to know what to call them on this show

As tally said, its Avivas ex hubby who it seems has slept with both Luann and Sonja in the past, so that should make for interesting viewing! I quite like Aviva so far, she is the one with the prosthetic leg and I loved how funny and open about it she was, the look on Sonjas face when she whipped it out to be manicured was fabulous! I love that she has a leg for flats, and one for heels. Brilliant!

The next newbie is Carole, some relation by marriage to the Kennedys. Also, shes a "princess" (in title only) so Luann will love that. Though, I cant help but feel shes already wondering what the hell shes got herself into hanging around with these 40 something schoolgirls. She looks less than interested in any of them! She also wrote a best seller about the death of her hubby, and apparently Aviva is a fan, she was fawning all over her at Sonjas party. Speaking of which, did we notice Sonjas house is still decorated like OTT baroque awfulness! I love that she has an "intern" for what?! what does Sonja actually do?!

And so to newbie housewife number 3, Heather. Shes a fashion designer with a v.lucrative shapewear company "Yummie Tummie" (Jill must have been watching at home livid about this, didnt she try & bring out a shapewear line last season.....) I kind of warmed to Heather, she seems nice, and funny. Although, Im not sure about the way she just casually dropped the news that her dad had literally just died. It was at Sonjas party and she was just like," My dad died on friday......anyways......" Luann as you can imagine, was aghast, thats not on dahling, its a cocktail party!

Onto Ramonas party in the Hamptons, and she was utterly insane. Insulting everyone, particularly newbie Heather, and even Sonja. Heather is not amused, basically Mario tells her she speaks over everyone and Ramona jumps in with a critique of her own! Ramona I think has lost the plot this year, shes going to be even more of a loony tunes by the end of the season I predict! I wasnt loving Marios behaviour either at the party, usually he is the calm to Ramonas crazy.

The funniest party I thought was near the end when the 3 new girls and Luann (who is clearly desperate for them to be on her "team") sit down to lunch and Luann drops the bomb about Ramona trying to blackmail her and basically besmirch her childrens reputation. Now Im no fan of Luann at all, but Ramona needs to get a grip and get over herself, and maybe have another drink! I agree with tally I think shes got a problem- every scene shes in she seems to be clutching 2 bottles of ramona pinot! anyway, back to the lunch- Luann sits down, proceeds to dramatically recall the horror of what Ramona has done to her, and then as quick as she came, she dashes off to meet Jac! The other ladies look bewildered, and slightly mortified and I swear you can almost see them click onto just what kind of lunacy they have gotten involved in Carole likens Luanns comments to a "drive by" which is pretty adequate, and Aviva proceeds to make a pact with other ladies that they "wont turn into mean girls" Well, if you have seen the preview you know that dosent last!

Sorry for the long post, but I had to get it all down! I really enjoyed it, and cant wait for next week! Jill would have loved it, she would have been right in there stirring the pot. Didnt miss Kelly or Alex though. And I dont even think anyone remembers Cindy lol

Certainly looks like its going to be a drama filled season. Lets go!!

I loved the monkeys, totally adorable! and Costa Rica looked amazing. I deffo felt like booking a holiday- the beach was stunning!

No way, I dont think Vicki is capable of letting go. Shes so utterly buttoned up its crazy, but O God, what she and Brooks get up to in the bedroom i NEVER need to know! pass me that bleach when your done with it!

It really is Real Housewives overload atm, every night from Sunday-Thursday there is a Real Housewives program on So I'm only going to post a little on each one

RHONJ - A nice episode last week. It was nice to see Rosie coming out the Kathy's kids. I'm kind of a bit tired of Caroline blaming Teresa for everything. If things aren't good between her and Dina, she should take responsibility and try and make ammends

RHONY - I'm not feeling this season really and so it seems is everone else lol The ratings were down about a quarter from last year. Carole seems to be the nicest new Housewife but that can all change. I wouldn't be surprised if Ramona did say that Luann, did anyone see how agressive she got at Sonja's party when Luann tried to talk?

RHOOC - A great episode this week Costa Rica was lots of fun. I was laughing so much at the water rafting. I'm loving this season and can't believe its nearly about the end. I think it was horrible what they did to Alexis but she was the instigator of something very similar to San Francisco. I'm not saying she deserved it but maybe it was a bit of karma.

RHOV - Jody is such a panto villain. It's no wonder she's managed to alienate all the other Housewives. Next week looks good though. It looks like she's going to get kicked out of Mary's event!

DBTFTW - Kim is so funny, I just wish they could of shown this during the last Atlanta Housewives which was such a bore. The wedding looks like it's going to be great

Here's the next few episode Synopsis's for the US housewives. The OC finale sounds Epic!

Thanks for the heads up kimkam on whats coming up, I agree The OC finale sounds brilliant Does this have something to do with Gretchens friend Sarah, I wonder?
I remember reading something about her being involved in some huge upset at one of their parties. Mind you, before this season started if you read some of the things she said she made it sound like she was a big part of this season. Actually, I dont think she has been seen since she acted all crazy to Vicki at bowling!

Regarding NJ, I actually meant to say this when I posted my thoughts on the ep, I liked Rosies scene with Kathys kids aswell, I thought it was nicely done. Its just a shame the whole ep for me was overshadowed by Caroline and her awful attitude.

Yes! I think it's the DuBrow's vs Sarah. You can get a small preview of it at this video at around the 47 second mark and also Vicki Vs Tamra at 1:19. You're right though Sassy, she really hasn't done much, apart from get drunk and stalk Vicki at the bowling alley

and they also filmed the reunion this week and Andy tweeted this after

Thanks for those kimkam. I think I'm going to enjoy NY though. If only they'd ditched Ramona instead of Jill. Jill is television gold, Ramona just makes me want to gag her and get her off my screen.

I'm with you Tally - she makes me want to eat my own knees (and they're really gristly!).

Thanks kimkam (and all) for the news - it's the closest I get to watching for now!

Thanks for all these updates, they make for great reading!

Hey Ive recently got in to a few of these shows and was wondering if yous could suggest more?
I love Beverly Hills and New Jersey...
I like Orange County..
I seen a bit of Atlanta but didn't really rate it..should I give it another shot?
What other series are good?

Atlanta Season 3 was really good, but I didn't rate the previous two.

You may enjoy New York. TheHoWives are absolutely insane but some of it is television at it's trashiest best. The first season is definitely worth a watch.

*******************************************

I've been to the theatre and out another day ( crikey, I'm behaving like normal people and socialising!!) so I've loads to catch up on, and, of course the grand finale of Tardy is coming this week. So looking forward to that.

kimkam I've finally got round to getting Vancouver Now all I need is time to watch it. Has it finished? I've got to Ep 11 or is there more to come? BAH at it clashing with the tennis. But I'm a tennis nut so that comes first.

The only Housewives series I watch is New Jersey. I find their stories, whilst still OTT and crazy, to be the most relatable. I watch it all online but is there any channel here broadcasting it anymore? I know Channel 4 aired the first and second season. I really want to tell people to get into it because I find it so addictive.

I'm getting bored with NJ. And "No" I dont think any channel here shows it.

If anyone has a link to this weeks OC could you PM me. I've tried 5 times and each time was a dud.

NJ this week was more boring than ever. Caroline and Jacqui are still at the wedding, with every morsel that Bravo could get from the Caroline's edits of her trashing Tre, while Jacqui is rapidly going the same way. I didn't think Jac had a mind of her own.

Meanwhile back at the Shore the other group are also hell bent on doing the same "lets all run Tre into the ground",

She's on the front cover of some tabloid headlining " I'm afraid of being poor" And they are all up in arms at her selling out to a tabloid rag while telling them that she doesn't want to discuss it. Sheesh, I never felt i'd feel sorry for Tre, but CA showed she's a grafter and while her excuse for a husband is drowning his sorrows Tre is at least earning. Perhaps she wants a break from all her worries and wants not to feel pressured when she's with family? Though who needs enemies when you've got that lot as your nearest and dearest #sarcasm

The runt that is Tre's brother decides a text during the wedding ceremony is the way to get her and him to therapy to sort out their "ishues" And then is offended when she doesn't reply. She'll never go Joey, Juicy has put his foot down, The Guidices dont need therapy ergo Tre will go over his dead body.
The Waikiles and Gorgias have a copy of the tabloid rag too and spend the rest of the episode dissing Tre.

Please treat your viewers with a little more intelligence, Bravo. No way do I believe that wasn't planted by the editors and instructions given for the cameras to roll, there's also no way that Tre's failings were the only topic of conversation among two different set of people. Give me a break. You're forcing me to side with Teresa.

Caroline is one ugly being when she's mouthing off about her former friend though, while on a better note Lauren has had weight loss surgery and looks terrific. I'll try and find the link. Wonder if she'll get any support from her mother now?

It's too late to delve into NY, but I'll save that. Not as drama packed as usual but on the plus side Lu has been sussed as a bitter cow by the newbies. The downside of that is they're siding with Ramona. Which can never be a good thing.


EDIT: Here's LAURENS'WEIGHT LOSS

Looking good girl!
