I watched this weeks Atlanta episode last night. It was really weird, I still dont know what the point of it was.I didn't realise Apollo had been locked up for such a long time, and the visit to the strip club starring overweight, middle aged, tattooed, cellulite ridden strippers was just bizarre.
Apparently Atlanta is famed for it's strip joints. I would be livid if my husband admitted to weekly visits especially as there's no way in hell he would be ogling those particular strippers, he'd be watching young, lithe women.
And what on earth was Phaedra doing bringing her pastor to bless Kandi's new house? She didn't know him from Adam. I was totally grossed out by Phaedra and Apollo's tongue sandwich. UGH. Keep it private, Phaedra. That's what a real Southern Belle would do.

All in all a really strange episode. Bring back the normal craziness please.
I agree, I thought this weeks episode was odd to say the least. It didn't show off Atlanta in the best light if those strippers were anything to go by . Phaedra and Apollo divorcing? Erm no, definite publicity stunt there for their "donkey booty" DVD. As it's been revealed she is pregnant this week again.

Nene is on the cover of a magazine. Everyone still suspects Kenya and Walter are a fake couple (they are) and Cynthia went shopping with her hubby. :yawn::sleep: I still can't drum up any interest in the new girl (forgotten her name already) as all she seems to do is slag off Kenya because she's older than she is. What a brat.

Dare I say it but I miss Kim

Does anyone know what Adrienne's secret is?

I really like Brandi she tells it how it is and we need someone like that on the show, i love her and lisa's relationship Is camille no longer a cast member? she seems to be only a guest now
Basically, Brandi outed that Adrienne had used a surrogate for her kids. Although, all the other women apparently knew anyway. I get that Brandi had no right making it public, but really I dont get the big deal. So what if she used a surrogate? Camille was honest about using a surrogate with her children and nobody freaked out about that.

I adore Brandi. She is fabulous on the show. She and Lisa are the shining lights of BH for me. I miss Camille being full time though, I loved her on the show. When she got rid of Kelsey she really blossomed. She is a "friend" of the housewives this season, basically part time. I hope that she might come back full time next season, esp if Yolanda were to go. Im sure shes a nice enough woman, but shes just not right for the show. Her sole input to the last ep was a section on her exercising :yawn:

According to Andy Cohen they were pleased with the ratings.

Personally I think they should bring them all back plus Jill Zarin if they want the ratings up.
Im sure i read on reality tea that jill is going to come back to the show. Whether that came from a reliable source or not im not sure.

Who got rid of who with Camille and Kelsey? Have only just watched the first episode, I enjoyed it but I need to watch a couple to figure out who's who! Also, there's no sub-titles and, although my hearing is ok-ish, I do rely heavily on them when watching telly!!

Kelsey wanted a divorce as he had another girlfriend stashed away in NY, they are married now if I recall. There was all manner of nastiness between Camille and him though during the divorce, with custody issues etc. He showed himself to be a real b*stard with it all.

Camille was well rid though, Season 1 I hated Camille, and she was pretty much the most hated housewife on any of the franchises Season 2 though she really comes into her own, shes fantastic and now she is one of my absolute faves on BH, along with Brandi and Lisa. Ill say this for BH, its totally outrageous what goes on with these ladies, and its so addicting!

BH is one of the best for me. They definitely deliver the drama.

I really enjoyed Season 2 even though it got really... dark?

Camille - you'll hate her in Season 1. Despite what you may think she'll turn it around the following season, once she's cut loose from that bloated boozebag that is Kelsey Grammar!

Taylor - hmm, one minute you'll dislike her, then feel sorry for her, then back to disliking her...

Kyle - she speaks sense but she always sounds so patronising when saying it. She really needs to step back and let her OLDER sister control her own life

Kim - well, I do have a soft spot for her. She can be funny and kooky but she always comes across like she could just topple off the edge.

Lisa - LOVE HER! She has the British wit that's a breath of fresh air on these shows. The other ladies don't get her sense of humour sometimes - thankfully she has Brandi these days who gets her. Love them on the show now.

Adrienne - dark horse. Keep your eye on her. That's all I'll say...

Just caught up on last night's BH...
Adrienne and Paul are HILARIOUS!
Camille could get interesting...
Feel really sorry for Kim, everyone just shouts her down - especially overbearing Kyle.
Still don't like Taylor AT ALL.
Lisa seems so nice and very entertaining, I like her.

That is all

I was re-watching the Beverly Hills housewives of ITV2 with my boyfriend and was explaining who was who to him as he had never seen it before. The conversation went a bit like this: "She's the alcoholic child actress and Paris Hilton's aunt. That other one is also Paris Hilton's aunt but her husband is quite successful in real estate. That blonde one's husband is dead now as he killed himself and she used to get battered by him before he died, then sold a book five minutes after his death detailing all of this. That one there was married to Frasier before he dumped her for a trolley dolly he got pregnant while he was still married to her, but she got over 50 million in the divorce so she's okay about it. She's married to a plastic surgeon but is worth like 300 million as her family owns the palms in Las Vegas. Oh and that's Lisa, she's British and fabulous and that's all you need to know about her"

He actually didn't believe any of it. and I've now got him hooked on the housewives too!

yeah i prefer BH wives I tried watching Atlanta but cant invest in them cause i love the BH cast so much.

I mean considering the BH lot have HUGE $$$$$ in there bank they 'well some of them' still seem down to earth Lisa for one, and Adrienne and Kim, Kyle i find quite snobby, Brandi She would be awesome to go and party with , Taylor is ok to but Yolanda is the worst 'oh look at my lovely home, look how successful my husband is blah blah blah get over yourself!

I cant see Yolanda being invited back for S4 for one she is boring and 2 she never goes to other ladies events she is always missing them but i think its because she thinks she is above all of them when really aint.

Hadn't realised that Brandi is the ex of Eddie Cibrian who's now all cosied up with Leanne Rhimes!

Just because I can't quite let DC go yet, is there any interesting gatecrashing in BH?!

Up to his eyes in debt,volatile character and batterer. I think being under scrutiny filming The HoWives possibly took him over the edge.

And trailertrash Taylor ( who's worked too hard to give up this postcode) was eager to keep up appearances as, unlike NJ and NY, the Beverly Hills lot are seriously rich, didn't help. Who spends thousands and thousands of dollars on a five year old's party. The woman disgusts me.

I'm pretty much in agreement with those who have seen BH up to the present.
Kyle I loathe, liked her in S1. Camille who I loathed in S1 I now love. Free from her scumbag ex she's blossomed and I'm sad she's not a full time HoWife. Love Brandi and Lisa ( who has a spin off show starting in The States tonight) while I dont think Kim is stable enough to be on the show and I wish they'd axed her for her own sake. Adrienne? HUMPH. Very different opinion of her lately.

Incidentally I was watching an episode of Dr Phil on You Tube earlier (I am bored witless at the moment as, yet again, my mobility is nigh on nil) and who should be the expert plastic surgeon but Paul. .

This is so frustrating that we are all watching different shows at the same time. I wanna read the comments then you end up reading spoilers, damn. Why can't these networks get their acts sorted, it is a mess.


Anyhow, just done catch up on BH on ITV2 - jeez these women have REAL money, makes the NJ,NY and OC seem quite modest with their life styles.

Only Adrienne seems sorta grounded with all her wealth, but she seems to be frustrated with her husband.

Kim, obviously the woman has issues and will make for interesting viewing.

Kyle, could be trouble although I do think that sister Kim must be very draining constantly asking for her support on everything.

Lisa seems the normal one of the bunch, but then again the fact that she is British spoils it for me, I would rather it be a total bunch of American women.

Taylor, sort of the padding for the show apart from the husband relationship she plays no part (although reading the spoilers - damn - she will obviously be playing centre stage for the wrong reasons - which is sad)

Camille - ewww - hate to be judgmental after just seeing her for 3 episodes, but what is there to like? And wow wow wow such wealth Kelsey achieved from Fraiser.

Liking BH I do hope ITV2 don't start to mess around with it and continue to bring us up to date.

++
Has anyone been watching Bethenny Ever After? I loved her when she was on the NY housewives, when she met Jason, loved seeing her relationship with him and the birth of their baby. Seeing the latest episode on E when Julie is leaving and they move into their swanky new apartment was so weird now knowing that they are now getting a divorce.

She really is so much hard work and I can't help but feel for Jason and the fact that their daughter is the absolute double of Jason is so sad that they couldn;'t work it out, she had is all, she really did. Awwww

Thanks for that, Tally. I've only seen a couple of BH so far but Russell does make for very uncomfortable viewing.

Hello, full-time lurker and occcasional contributor here. Just want to say that although I have seen BH series 1 and 2 on Bio I am enjoying seeing series 1 again on ITV 2 and I agree with above^^^ I adore Lisa.

I am afraid that my series 1 views of Kim and Adrienne are though influenced by what i know now of series 2. Both women were "meh" to me in series 1, but now watching Kim I think she should never have done the show. As for Adrienne she tried to walk over Lisa in her Maloof Hoofs and was a bad friend to her. Adrienne was terrible at the reunion show and as for the mean spirited way she reacted to Pandaora having her bachelorette party at somewhere other than the Palms, well, can't stand the woman, and sounds like more of the same in series 3 (if we ever get it here in UK).

So I just caught up with the latest Atlanta, and have to agree with the other thoughts. Quite a strange ep, bit of a filler I guess. The whole thing at the strip club with the over the hill strippers was just What?! so bizarre! If Peter and Apollo are frequent visitors I hope they attend a joint with better "talent" at least!

Cant say Id be thrilled either if my man was attending strip clubs frequently, but as Cynthia said, in Atlanta they are like starbucks apparently "Everyone goes, and they are all repeat customers"

Is it wrong though, that I did laugh at Kenya and Walers lunch date, when she was going on about being "wife" material, and she is not a girlfriend. Walter hits out that, if she is such wifely material, then why at her age is she still sat on the shelf?! I couldnt help it, that really made me laugh. Of course now that we all know Walter is a fake, their scenes just seem funny now and only serve to make Kenya look even crazier than she is! Nene has it right, her initial thoughts on Kenya? Delusional!

Clearly there is nothing to that story about Phaedra and Apollo's marriage as she is now pregnant with baby no 2. And Congrats to them, I hope that means we will see more totally outlandish baby showers/baptisms/birhdays from Phaedra!

Also, well done to Nene and Gregg getting engaged again. Id love Nene to get a wedding spin off like Kim had, Nene in full bridezilla mode would be fabulous to watch!!

Miami Reunion Part 2 ..........UGH. I really dont like any of these women. If they weren't putting it out on television I wouldn't believe there could be such spiteful, petty, shallow, vapid women around.
But they did. And they are.
Thank goodness my circle doesn't contain such lovely characters. There isn't one redeeming one amongst them as far as I can see ( maybe Lisa ). So self absorbed and score-sheet keeping of every slight or bad word. BAH....lock them up in rough conditions and throw away the key. Maybe they'd get some perspective of what's valuable in the world.

Hi everyone,

I watched the second half of series 2 of RHBH and got really into it. I have watched all of the Orange County series, all of New York that has been shown on itv2, and I watched the first series of New Jersey when channel 4 showed it years ago. Beverley Hills is by far my favourite though.

I was delighted when it just so happened that itv2 were showing BH from the beginning, so I can see where it all began.

I have to say though, Camille is very different in S1 than S2 (as othe rposter shave mentioned) I really liked her in the series 2 episodes I watched, but so far is series 1, she is coming across terrible!
Very snobby, completely in love with herself, and desperate to prove how attractive and flirty she is. It's embarrassing to watch.

I love Lisa.
Adrienne is ok.
Brandi makes great tv.
Kim..I don't like, but she obviously has issues so I feel bad saying it.
Taylor...I don't like and again I feel bad for saying it, as knowing her circumstances I should feel immense sympathy for her.

Kyle is my least favourite but I can't articulate why. She just seems snidey and I get the impression that even when she is being nice, it is only for her own benefit. She wants to come across a certain way and it doesn't feel genuine.

I look forward to watching the rest

Tried to watch RH of Miami the 1st episode was a enough! None of them are likeable at all and just up themselves and i swear one woman's mum had had so much surgery she needed subtitles as it looks like she cant move her mouth.

Beverly Hills is still my top show out of the franchises.
