Y’all this day is a hot mess and I have about a million things to do today. I also just tried to hire a power washer to do my house! I am not in the right headspace to write today but I going to try to get it together anyway. So please bear with me.
I wonder how Dorinda Medley was selected to be first person out with Andy? This crowd is already going nuts when Dorinda comes out. I love her dress! Next out is James Kennedy. He sure is getting a lot of exposure this week. Then the entire cast of Vanderpump Rules comes out. But first it is the RHOC, Vicki, Kelly, Gretchen, Laurie Peterson and Jeana Keough. I am already ready to give up on all of these names. This is insane. Next is Reza, MJ and Vida. MJ announces she is getting married next week! I though she was keeping that under wraps! It will be the finale for Shahs of Sunset this season. I think Bravo really pushed for SOMEONE to get married or adopt a baby and I didn’t think it would happen this season, but Bravo has a way of getting cast members to do pretty much anything to keep the show. Which is good, because other than Asa, none of these people have jobs anymore.
Out next is BRANDI GLANVILLE, Camille and Adrienne Maloof! Oh and Eileen!!! Then, out pops Dina Manzo. Then Jill Zarin in a tennis outfit. Andy offers condolences about Bobby. I bet Jill comes back next season. Andy talks to Vicki about Brooks getting married, something I broke as an exclusive here. Oh Andrew, you just love this ratchet site! Gretchen does not read the site because she is just finding out.
Andy asks if the Beverly Hills girls are okay sitting with Brandi. Eileen is not sitting next to her. Andy congratulates Eilleen on her Emmy nomination. Andy asks Jax if he feels bad now after seeing that James did not admit to hooking up with Kristen. He says everything was not caught on camera. Then James says,”I got away with it!” Was that a confession? Sure sounded like it to me. Lala tells James to stop talking. Jill is asked about seeing some OGs like Vicki. She says she is the luckiest girl in the world and has met some amazing women via Bravo. Dorinda explains that at the Halloween party, she started working at two, her makeup artist ate her hamburger, and they kept giving her all these crazy. smokey, delicious drinks. Brandi is sitting behind her clapping. Clearly, she is a Dorinda fan.
Jenni Pulos comes out to rap the WWHL theme song and hangs out with James all night. Nene comes out alone and the crowd loses it’s ever-loving mind. We are now so brainwashed that a women whose previous TV appearance prior to Bravo was on the local Atlanta news for some sort of rental property scam. All hail the Queen. Le sigh. Dorinda got her own chair next to Andy but the first slot on the couch was reserved for Andy. They literally moved Dina and Jill out of the way and on to the back row to make room for her. Nene of course shades Kim and her Party City wigs from season one. Captain Sandy is there but in the audience. Hell. that is a seat worse than Jill and Dina got.
Next up is Carole who comes out in a jogging outfit and sits next to Nene. Andy says he teared up when Carole crossed the finish line of her marathon. On the one hand I’m glad I wasn’t the only one, but on the third hand, I now have something in common with Andy Cohen. Ick. Carole has on way to much makeup. She looks like a lesbian somehow tonight. Not that there is anything wrong with being a lesbian. I’m morphing into one myself. I’m just saying that she looks like someone who normally doesn’t wear makeup and then suddenly goes full on drag queen while wearing a jogging suit. I’m going to shut up now because I feel like I am offending lesbians and drag queens and I love lesbians and drag queens. Oh Valentina, how I miss you so. Anyway, Carole says that Tinsley stood out in the rain for four hours and never complained that he hair got ruined.

Andy wants to talk about feuds. Starting with Brandi and Scheana. They are fine. They were both crushing on the same guy backstage. They have the same taste in men. Yeah, Scheana, we know. Next is Brandi and Eileen. They are good. Eileen brought Brandi the poker trophy she left behind on that poker night from hell. While I was looking for that link I ran across a retrospective of Brandi Blogs that would probably be fun to reread.
Next up is Vicki and Laurie and the “multiple partners” rumor. They have made up. Jeana got a face lift that Andy says looks fantastic. It does not. She looks like white Phaedra. Gretchen says she and Slade are going to have babies before they get married. Why? She hints that she may be pregnant already. That’s why. Adrienne speaks very highly of Paul and says they are getting along well and have no problems co-parenting. Camille has set a date for her wedding. Jenni says that having a baby has brought out the softer side of Jeff Lewis and being a dad is the best thing that ever happened to him.
An audience member asks Nene who she has beef with onstage. She says Reza who is sitting right behind her. She says he trash talks her. Reza says when Shahs came out, he was asked to be on WWHL and when he found out Nene was the other guest he was so excited. Then Nene turned her chair and would not even look at him or speak to him. I believe that. That was back when Nene was openly anti gay. Now she has learned to hide it. Nene says she had no idea who he was and basically had no interest in speaking to him. Jenni Pulos jumps in to say that back at the Summer By Bravo filming Reza through major shade at Nene.
The very last guest is Countess Luann who comes out and lip syncs Money Can’t Buy You Class! She may be singing to a track. Either way, it was PERFECTION.
On the After show that I watched last night. Reza and Nene ended their feud. And I forget what else happens. Go here and watch it if you can. It’s definitely worth twelve minutes of your time.
In the 4th picture, who is the bleached blond behind Sheana? I thought it was Stassi, but she’s on the other side. Is that Ariana???
It’s Billie. Ariana and Tom were on vacation,
On the one hand, this was cool, but on the other it was a waste, because there were too many of them there to talk to anyone enough.
MJ looks really different to me.
Also, who is the blonde in between Sheana and Brittany? Is it Billie, who used to have darker hair?
No Sandoval and Ariana?
Scheana’s hair is too long and dark, looks like an Elvira Halloween look.
Egads! The bad plastic surgery among Dina, Adrienne, Jeanna, but especially Gretchen, was unbelievable. Brandi’s face was so full of filler I don’t know how she can move her mouth without driving her cheeks into her eyes. They need to find out who Camille goes to. Dorinda and Jill looked good. The Cuntess looked the best. Carole had her make up applied lwith a trowel. VPR cast, meh. Andy, enough with the stupid gay shark. Nene is getting wide. She’s a large girl but dresses terribly for her size. Her shopping network line is atrocious. That’s all I’ve got.
Shite, Cuntess was a typo but fits by the way she acted last night.
It looked like her boob broke her straps and she was trying to hold those pups up.
I thought Dina looked fantastic… at least in the photos.
Um no! In another post, I stated that she looked like the Gotti woman. Bad hair and the bangs- plus, she got the lips jacked up (which in the original were a huge natural asset) and her eyes sort of catted- when she had almond/bulge type eyes as I call the Italian look. Good Lord, she had bad work done.
I did too Jim. I believe she may have had a nose job. She looked happy. kkbella is our resident ladybasher. Clearly no one looks as good as kkbella.
I agree with every last one of your assessments. In general, the RHONY have good plastic surgery and fillers but the RHOC are terrible. Jill and Luann look incredible!
I did not recognize Dina at all! She has been in Cali way too long and is starting to look like the rest of them 🙁
*PS* Oh…and thanks a lot for the links….here I go into the wormhole again. LOL
Agree, I haven’t gotten any adulting done today! Nice break, thank you TT!
How many times will we see LuAnn in the white low cut jumpsuit? Don’t get me wrong. I love that she wears her clothes more than once but it seems to be the only thing she is wearing.
I bet Vicki HATED Dorinda being numero uno, lol!
Ok calm down, Nene is not anti-gay. Extremely Insensitive when it comes to gay culture, probably. Anti-gay? That’s a reach.
Are you new? Nene is EXTREMELY ANTI GAY. She never tried to hide it an even made comments to Andy.
omg the gall on Reza.. how dare this racist plebeian talk about Nene
So the racist plebeian is taking smack about the homophobic housewife. Yawn.
Fwiw, Nene did not look good. That bright red flamenco dress didn’t do her any favors. I don’t usually comment on people’s weight or bone structure. A lot of women I know struggle with weight issues and disordered eating (myself incl) but I was shocked at how huge she looked when she came out. Whoever sewed her into that dress and sent her on stage should be shot or given a medal depending on how you look at it!
Thank you. As an obese person myself, I try not to comment on heavy people may look in their outfits, but OMG! thatwas terrible with all capital letters.
Why did she look so big?
I have to say, this show was awesome
I was curious if I was the only one unable to clearly see the tv when Carole crossed that finish line. (Wasn’t allergies, lol)
Her parents being there is what did it for me. They were so proud.
Wonder when Andy will have Brandi return to RHOBH. At this point the only ones who don’t like her are LVP and Kyle right? if everyone else is willing to film with her then LVP and Kyle’s opinon can’t have that much weight and i feel that Kyle is pretty forgiving so honestly its only LVP.
Why will Andy bring back an alcoholic who is broke? He has Kim for It, and she has real connection with Kyle. ALL the cast on #RHOBH Kyle, Rinna, Dorit, Kely even LVP tolerate her, but can’t stand her. Even Rinna was telling Andy that the show needs new blood. I love Bervely Hills because most of them have some class. They hate Brandy but will never say it in public. Andy himself knows that most of the viwers want rich women on #RHOBH too. Sorry, no sorry. Brandi is gone for good.
Don’t miss Brandi. I’m hoping she’ll fade away fairly soon.- I was probably one of the only people who liked Joyce a few years ago.She wasn’t hugely exciting but she was wealthy, beautiful and not overly dramatic- I like a few calm people however she never stood a chance once Brandi laid eyes on her, the claws came out. Her jealously was palpable. Carlton sure went down hill fast. I suspect she’s somewhere in the woods,sleeping on a toadstool at a special rehab for Wiccans. Hopefully the nanny hasn’t taken her place in the household. Ouch! Alcoholism sucks, you’d think there’d be a spell for it!
I LOVE Joyce!
I loved Joice too, but Andy hated her??
Joyce it was not intentional. I didn’t mean to misspell Joyce’s name?? She had everything to be a great #RHOBH Joyce was smart, was gorgeous, young, had class, money, and strong personality. I would love to have her back, but Andy won’t do that☹
I am shocked that people loved Joyce cause I loved her too. Usually when I love a housewife the viewers and Bloggers do not .
I liked Joyce too. I felt Brandi was super jealous and thats why she picked on her so much. Also, because Joyce was a nicer person, so she was jealous of that too. Brandi has a major mean streak that must have allways been there. Joyce had what Brandi lost, only much better. Two little boys, didnt have to work unless she wanted to, and a successful marriage, with a man she was really into, and he was into her. I loved Joyce’s teddy bear German husband. I think the jealousy was way worse than anything she had ever felt twords LVP and Ken, so she couldnt control it.
She hates the ones with hot or attractive or younger husbands. Like Kyle or Eileen. Because LVP doesnt have the young paasionate marriage or the young family like Brandi’s peers, it wasnt as bad jealousy wise, to hang around her..But I think Brandi envied that long term marriage. At Andy’s show for the housewives, I thought Camille looked the very best, natural and not like a copy cat of the other blondes or ridiculous like the other blondes. She looked beautiful and luminious,, with big gorgeous eyes. Her body looks amazing too. No bad looking plastic surgery or tiny weird eyes. Dorinda, Luann and Jill looked good as well. Nene looked too big in that dress, but stil attractive. At least shes got the weight in the right places. Maybe in person she looked thinner. Shes got good curves, but needs to lose some weight. I agree Jeanna looked not so great, and older, not younger from any surgery. I felt bad for her. The long hair just accentuates it, and she may have put on weight again.
Kyle and LVP have executive reducer credit. Those are the two who count out f even bunch.
These shows are super interesting. It’s full of tea. Thanks for the update!
The best part about seeing Nene back on WWHL is remembering when she thought she was ‘too big’ for Bravo. lol
I died laughing at “white Phaedra” ? hahahaha TT you make the best observations! Yes Jeana looked HORRIBLE and so did Gretchen. What they hell were they thinking?! TT do you think Gretchen is really possibly pregnant or is she just copying Kenya with playing coy? I couldn’t tell.
I think Gretchen is more fake pregnant than Kenya.
Oh, the facial procedures! They are not accumulating well. Brandi looks like Charro. Adrienne looks like the cat lady Wildenstein.
What was Kelly Dodd thinking with that grandma dress? She has an amazing figure and that dress looked like she was trying to hide something.
This was a good show and interesting to watch the interplay between the people and see who finagled for face time (ahem, Camille during Luann’s song). I watched on demand because of your post, TT, and it was worth the time spent. Thanks!
I’m glad someone else noticed Camille’s thirst. She sure did drop her demure act when doing everything for camera time but rip the microphone out of Luanne’s hand.
I was surprised with Kelly Dodd’s choice of dress, as well. I just dont like that type of outfit period, but its really strange for someone with a good body to wear a big long grandma skirt and top, with clunky, boxy orthopedic looking shoes. I wondered if some stylist talked her into it, saying it was high fashion.
Wow. So much filler on one stage. Just between Jeana, Gretchen, Adrianne and Brandi, they are keeping all the plastic surgeons busy. Yikes. And WHY do they all think that is the look we are striving for? Have they ever looked at Eileen? Or even Jill? The Countess? Camille? There are some women on that stage who are aging gracefully and look damn good! Take a cue from them.
I have to say that I felt like the guests on the couches were all a generation older than the Vanderpump “kids” (I hate that Andy calls them that). I am the same age as the older VP crew and I would much rather be hanging out with them. The Housewives/Shahs seem so much older.
Despise the stupid Luann songs. They are the worst. But she looked AMAZING!
Those over extensive cosmetic procedures, too much hair, trying too hard, makes them look older. The ones who do just a bit of tweaking, dont over haul themselves completlly, embracing and enhancing their unique beauty, and rely more on healthy lifestyle, happiness, look so much better. I think Dorinda looks better than Vickie, in large part, because she is thinner and more fit. So she can wear pretty much anything.
Good WWHL. I like hearing that Paul and Adrienne are getting along.
The first thing I saw in the puc was Dorinda next to Vicki. Dorinda looked so put together. Vicki could learn how to dress from Dorinda, she looks old and tired.
Jeana was always my favorite, I hate what she has done to her face. I wish some of these women would cut their hair. It would take years off of them without fillers. Look at the Vanderpump girls who have new cuts, Bethenny, Luann – they all look so polished or as Nina Garcia would say, fresh and modern. Most of it isn’t their hair anyway.
I would have really enjoyed this show if the audience were quieter and if Andy would lose the damn shark and doorbell. Why does he think the shark is funny? For a featured guest, Dorinda didn’t have time to say much.
Andy could cut back the headcount even if it were an hour. Why bring Gretchen, Dina and others? I think Andy wanted a party, not a talk show. It was hard to keep up.
Right? He was/is in LA all week. Why put them all on? Half of them we really didn’t want to hear from, and the rest could have covered content.
That Jenna Kehough (like her but) seemed out of it, or not sure what to do. Why bring on Nene if she was going to trash talk? This is not a fit for this format. Carole’s face looked pulled, Elaine (love) looked pale and then fake black lashes clashed, then there was Jill in a tennis outfit but she looked real and natural! (i could go on and on) It was like Christmas though- I was giggling and surprised the whole 30 min!
When is the last time Nina Garcia sported a short hairdo? Or even mixed up her medium highlighted mess?
Andy cohen is a dickhead. Jill looked great
With the exception of Ramona, the New York Housewives are usually turned out well. Jill is included. Ramona just doesn’t know how dress. The obvious extensions and gut constantly in view she looks sloppy.the Beverly Hills always look great with the exception of Dorit. What is wrong with her boobs. She no doubt paid a fortune for them. Between those boob, her stringy over bleached hair and penchant for bobby puns, she looks silly. Sorry Dorit, you can bedazzle a bobbypin and it still looks like a bobby pin
Nene, Gurrrrl…. You need to start doing some reviews of these appearances and watch your facial expressions and FIX THAT FACE! It quit being a thing after the first one.
Was Reza holding the broken strap of Nene’s dress?
I am just now getting to see this WWHL.
I think Dorinda is the main Housewife cause the viewers really love her and how can people not like her she is Awesome fun She is really a Classy lady she really looks great and knows how to dress sexy
It was a pretty good show
I don’t understand the look the housewives are going for . When some of them started the show they looked natural and beautiful. Now their features are so unnatural looking. I’m surprised their plastic surgeons haven’t said enough is enough.
Nene looked huge. She must be photoshopping all those swagg boutique pictures she posts.
It was interesting and fun to see all those different bravolebs in one place. Mj from Shahs really looked strange to me. I think most people missed the reason dorinda was the featured guest….it was a play on DOOR-inda MEDLEY…night of a hundred doorbells. Get it? The medley of doorbells. I know it wasn’t made too clear but that was the reason she got top billing.
Cheers!
