First of all, I was totally expecting BravoCon to be Fyre Fest part two. It was not. It actually went quite well all things considered. That said, I had zero FOMO. A “museum” of Bravo oddities? Schwartz showing his ass tattoo? Sprinkle cookies? For like eleventy billion dollars, no thank you.
Anyway, Andy Cohen is thrilled to have a live audience of around 2,000 screaming middle-aged women and gay men. They are sponsored by Pepsi who is serving “Pepsi sparkling rosé.” Oh the luxury of a can of soda trying to taste like wine with zero alcohol content. Good Lord, I am being snarky already but even if I didn’t try to avoid cameras, I would be mortified if my parole officer sentenced me to attend this ratchet experience.
The Former Housewives
We start with the OGs that are no longer on the show. I admit to fangirling the fuck out over Caroline Manzo She got her neck done so Andy calls her out on it immediately. Dude, if you are going to call out everyone’s latest cosmetic work we should have just had this be an episode of Botched. Caroline looks amazing though. Caroline immediately is asked about Teresa trying to blame her for her prison time. Jill seems to say her engagement/marriage to the new guy is filmed for RHONY. Adrienne’s ex-husband, Paul got married and sang at his own wedding. Kim Richards and Kyle Richards are both friends with Brandi Glanville now. Brandi was not at Bravocon.
RHOA at BravoCon
Next up we have the RHOA, Kenya, Cynthia and Eva. But no Nene. Tamara Tattles exclusive sources say Nene was invited but claimed to be working on other projects. In other words, everyone hates her so she did not come. Cynthia still can’t spit out her wedding date properly. It’s 10/10/2020. Kelly Dodd has decided that is her wedding date too. This is not the first time this has happened. Kim Biermann and Yolanda Foster both got married on 11/11/11. Kenya Moore is an LVP fan. Villains love villains. Cynthia was excited to see Jill Zarin again. They are friends . Eva has a crush on Captain Lee so she was excited to meet him for the first time.
Vanderpump Rules
The Vanderpump fools were mostly all there. Sandoval is dressed in drag as ” Visa Manderhump.” Because, Sandoval. Then LVP and a dog that appears to be alive comes out. She plops down next to Jax. Stassi says she is getting married on the show. Katie says Schwartz’s dick works now. The rumors of her pregnancy persist. They don’t mention it on Bravocon, but James has had a decent stretch of sobriety when the new season starts. After her introduction, LVP bailed and so did Caroline Manzo. Because, foolishness.
RHONY on WWHL At BravoCon
TInsley, Ramona, Dorinda and Luann are representing. Luann introduces Leah McSweeney. Leah is a full blown nutbar. Leah says that the cast is “badass.” Ramona supposedly dating a construction worker but won’t confirm or deny. Tinsley says that she is back together with Scott. The audience seems to clap at first and then boos. She gets out of her seat and starts screeching at the crowd, “Whaaaaaat? Why? Are they booing?” Andy makes them stop and moves on. Dorinda says Leah is the new badass on town. Luann is happy to be off probation to be a badass again. Um, Lu, darling, you were never a badass.
Below Deck Turns Up
Captain Lee, Kate, Joao, Colin and Captain Sandy all take a seat on the couch. Kate says Austen from Southern Charm didn’t know what show she was on. So she told him she just finished season seven of Real Housewives of Thailand Ocean. Both captains were asked who they would poach from the other’s cast. Captain Sandy says Kate. That should really help her with her conflicts with Hannah. Captain Lee said he was not going to give Kate up. He would take Captain Sandy. And I imagine she would be third deckhand.
Shahs Of Sunset At BravoCon
Mercedeh, Mike, Reza and Golnesa take the stage. And that is awkward since Reza is being a giant prick post filming and has a restraining order against Tommy. I’m not sure if I told y’all the GG is pregnant. Her due date is May 16th. MJ says her life is forever changed by motherhood and she sees things through a completely different lens now. Reza got new teeth. Did someone knock out the old ones? Mike seems to be back on #TeamMercedeh! YAY!
Vicki Gets Her Own Special Entrance
The RHOC come out without Queen Victoria and for a moment I think she is being punished for the lawsuits against Bravo and Kelly. Then she gets her own VIP entrance replete with the doorbell. Kelly talks about her engagement. Ramona is the person that set Kelly up with her man. Ramona’s jewelry gets caught in Kelly’s hair when they hug. Kelly is friends with several of the RHONY and desperately wants to switch to RHONY. However, Jolie is currently applying for exclusive private high schools in the Orange County area. I am sure there are rich kids schools in NYC too, Kelly.
Shannon is super happy with her boyfriend. She has a face full of filler like I have never seen before. I have a hard time telling the RHOC apart because they all look alike to me. But even after hearing Shannon’s voice, I was like, “That’s Shannon?
RHONJ Arrive WIth A Table Flip By Teresa
I read today that Teresa had to leave Bravocon early because he father had to be hospitalized. As if her girls needed more tragedy in their lives. At least he got to live with them while Joe was in prison. Teresa said the trip to Italy was amazing. Teresa said she was very emotional over how happy her girls were. It’s very clear she is not interested in reuniting with Joe. Andy asks Dolores how she would feel if Caroline came back to the show. She and Caroline are long time friends so she would be fine with it. Margaret says she will never get along with Danielle. Teresa said that while everyone seemed to think Joe was angry on WWHL, she was fine. That’s the Joe she knows so she thought he was fine.
RHOBH TAKE BRAVOCON WWHL!
Every photo from Bravocon I seen with Kyle Richards in it, I have found her unrecognizable. Her lashes seem like they are so heavy she can hardly lift them. Kyle, girlfriend, stop trying to mess with perfection! Rinna is still playing with weaves and extensions and has a super long ponytail, Andy tells Rinna that Kim Richard is there and said she regrets giving back the bunny and wants it back. ICYMI Teddi Mellencamp is pregnant. She is due the first week of March. The ladies talk about filming and how things are going great and there is plenty of drama with the two new girls. Sadly, this is not how production feels.
When Andy mentions Camille coming back, the Bravocon audiences BOOOS LOUDLY. LOL I love it. Kyle said it was good to see Camille back (she’s lying, she can’t stand Camille either) but that “the tweets are killing all of us.” Erika Jayne is going to be playing Roxy in Chicago. Lisa Rinna has also played the part. Luann de Lesseps tried everything she could to get the part. But no dice. Erika opens on January 6th and works through March 30th. Damn girl three months is a long time to be on Broadway. Take your vitamins.
Married To Medicine Is in the Bravocon House!
I think they are all here but I am not really sure. Toya and Tinsley Mortimer are both wearing the same dress! Tinsley, Toya and Stephanie all appear to have been under contract with Intermix for a couple years now. The dress is hideous on both of them. I mean God Awful. Looks like my great grandma’s sofa grew some giant sleeves.
When Andy asks Quad if she is dating she replies, ” Wouldn’t you like to know, Andy? I’m slim in the waist and cute in the face. So yes, the boys are tryna holler.” Mariah is wearing a sequins beret. I can always count on all the ATL girls to looks cheap.
…And The Rest Are Here On Bravocon Isle….
Gizelle and Ashley from Potomac, LeeAnne and Brandi from Dallas, come out on stage. The Potomac girls are clearly on a gag order from saying too much about Candiace filing charges on Monique, and Monique filing her own criminal charges on Candiace. Clearly both were not allowed to attend Bravocon. They are all four quickly dismissed.
It seems the whole gang from Southern Charm is there. Kathryn admits that she and Thomas have reached a custody agreement. Same as it ever was. Craig’s pillow business is doing great. The camera pans to fans holding up his pillow covers. They are very over priced.
Andy Wants To SING Don’t Be Tardy Live Onstage
Because he is a HUGE Attention whore. Then Kim Biermann comes out and surprises him to “sing” with him. Erika Jayne must be dying of laughter. He asks the audience to sing along as he goes into the audience with them. No one knows the words to this shit except for the “Don’t Be Tardy For The Party Part.” No one is singing. He looks like a fool. Then Kim comes out from the back of the theater and they finish as a duet. This feels like an acid trip, y’all.
Kim Biermann is in a black leather form fitting dress and looks very much three months pregnant to me. Kim doesn’t confirm or deny that she is pregnant. She says, “Does it look like I’m pregnant?” YES! Saith the audience. She says, “I’ve had six kids!” Well, yes, which is why you should stop photoshopping the holy hell out of your IG photos. Especially YOUR FIVE YEAR OLD DAUGHTER! Andy sucking up to Kim is going to piss off the Moose population in Georgia.
Squash That Beef!
And (Hopefully) FINALLY it’s time for a stupid WWHL Game. Two feuding Bravolebs have to try to resolve their issues. First up, Captain Lee and Jax. At one point I would say Jax is not worthy to breathe the same air as Captain Lee. But Captain Lee has been trying to rival Jax lately on Twitter and being nasty to a former female “employee” Twitter is unacceptable. Especially if she is barely legal. Captain Lee going after Jax was fine. It’s an older man teacher an overgrown snot-nosed kid.
As the two made their way to the hotseat, Jax playfully followed Captain Lee and put his hands on Captain Lee’s shoulders. He seems to have meant it as a friendly gesture. However, I half expected Captain Lee to turn around and lay Jax out. To none’s surprise, Jax gets booed by the audience for blocking Captain Lee. Jax says the two got together last week and hashed it out and they are good. Jax apologizes and they hug it out. Captain Lee barely had to open his mouth.
Ramona Singer Says She Is Camera Shy While She Is At BRAVOCON?
Next up is Ramona and Gizelle. They were both at an event and Ramona insisted that Gizelle get out of a photo they were posing for at an event. Ramona of course lies and makes it all about herself. Ramona claps her hands as she says the facts are the facts they are on Instagram. Then after prompting from Andy she says she was sorry she hurt her feelings. Ramona keeps lying, Gizelle keeps checking a bitch. It was marvelous. Andy asks Gizelle if she accepts her apology. Ramona interjects that she is not in fact apologizing. The beef is NOT SQUASHED. I am Team Gizelle on this one, what about you?
The next spin of the wheel is Ramona versus Delores. WTF? Is there anyone that Ramona doesn’t have beef with? When Ramona was on WWHL a while back, there was a dating game for her and Frank was one of the contestants. After the show, once again, Ramona refused to take a photo with Frank. Ramona’s response was that she doesn’t like taking photos. Dear God, have you seen Ramona’s social media? She takes photos with everyone! I hate photos. So I would never go to Bravocon, or be on a reality show, or ask anyone to take a photo with me. That is basically Ramona’s whole life. The audience boos Ramona. So Ramona hugs it out with Delores.
Ramona Has Beef With Everyone!
I smell a Bravo set up here. The fourth round of this game is Ramona v Vicki. Vicki gets and tries to sit where Ramona had previously sat. Ramona throws a fit and wants her old seat back. Vicki doesn’t care so she moves. Andy tells Vicki to let Ramona have the seat even though it is on Vicki’s side of the stage. WTF, Andrew? On a recent WWHL Ramona claimed that she is the original OG and RHONY put the housewives on the map. Vicki screams over and over “I PUT YOU ON THE MAP! There would be no housewives without me!” Drag her Vicki! The entire audience gives Vicki a standing ovation ensuring her a full-time contract and a motherfucking raise for next year.
Ramona thinks the NYC press made housewives popular and that was all because of her. Vicki leads the 2,000 nutbars in a course of “VICKI, VICKI, VICKI!” and Andy call an end to it all.
SWIDT? 🙂
With seconds left on the clock, Andrew calls up Kelly Dodd and Kenya Moore. I have no idea what this beef is about. And I will never know unless you tell me because my DVR from Spectrum SUCKS ASS and cut off. What was that about?
Thanks for the recap
How much did each person make to attend?
Was every cast member invited and some turned it down?
I think Kyle had some plastic surgery done and that’s why she had that unusual hairstyle on the bangs
I was surprised Sonja it was not there.
If Kyle had plastic surgery, she wouldn’t cover it up with bangs. Her hair style was anything, but unusual. It was iconic and made her look 10 years younger. Her hair stylist deserves a raise! Quit hatin’!
My comment disappeared, so I’ll try again. Sorry if it duplicates.
I don’t like these mega WWHLs. There are too many people, so it’s just a bunch of introductions, then shifting seats from the couch to the bleachers. The people who speak get about 3 seconds each, and not everyone speaks, so it’s a waste.
The beef between Kelly and Kenya was nothing. It came from when HE WHO SHALL NOT BE NAMED was on WWHL with Kenya and they got into it. Kelly took HE WHO SHALL NOT BE NAMED‘s side on Twitter. She said it was because HE WHO SHALL NOT BE NAMED
was her home boy, but she and Kenya both agreed they were good. But Kenya said she would never patch things up with Kim ZB.
By the way, I thought Kim ZB said at the end of her segment, “No,” she was not pregnant.
My DVR cut off before the show was officially over too, but at least I saw the bit about Kelly and Kenya.
THIS POST WAS EDITED BY THE ADMIN.THE AUTHOR HAS BEEN HERE LONG ENOUGH TO KNOW BETTER.
So sorry, Tamara! I knew there was someone you called He Who Shall Not Be Named, but I honestly didn’t know who it was. I’m fully willing to grant maybe I should have known, but my memory is letting me down a lot these days. Anyway, didn’t mean to break the rules! And I was glad to see you amended my post, because now I know why it wouldn’t show up AND who the bad guy is.
I think someone tweeted asking if Kim Z was preggers. She laughed when Andy asked her if she was. I believe she answered no but then said “ Do I look pregnant???” as she touched and showed her belly. Why’d she do that!?? Because the audience replied in unison “”YESSSS” I couldn’t believe it!
She believes her photoshopped photos! She looks at least 4 months pregnant. She should not wear form-fitting dresses if she doesn’t want people to think she’s pregnant.
Still watching WWHL. I figured out that He Who Will Not Be Named sends your comments to the Black Hole. Never to appear. He seems to have mellowed out. I m confused by why he rags Kenya and promotes Camille. That’s why he can’t be named. I just don’t get the Gay Shark. Whatever. Austi is an idiot. Too busy making beer to watch Bravo’s best show.
WAIT YOU MAKE BEER? PLEASE SEND. Also your avatar is everything. Can you email me a copy a t gee mail I feel like I will need this is the future. The bigger the better. For both the Jpeg and the beer.
It is all starting to make sense….
I don’t make beer, although I did — until the bottles exploded in the garage. There was a Berkeley store called Beer and the People (how Berkeley) that had everything for brewing. My comment was a diss to Neanderfuck Austin. Neanderfuck Ale should go well at frat parties.
Key Dodd is my new hero for knowing it is QUASH, not squash, a rumor, a beef, whatever…
My favorite moment from BravoCon WWHL was Patricia Atschul seated next to Theresa Guidice — Southern Charm vs. Jersey Thug.
I will send you the logo. I think the JPEG is big enough for general use.
I can’t stand Kelly, but I agree with giving her props for knowing it is “quash.”
The logo may be coming from a different email address but my name is in it so you will know it’s me. If anyone else wants a copy for our group protest, feel free to share.
I’m happy to use the logo. Just need to know how, lol.
At least for this week, until the seven days end?
I don’t know how to change mine either. I had an image picked out but I don’t know how to use it! I think it’s because I’m usually commenting from my phone. Nothing could be better than Nanette’s though! I LOVE IT!
Thank you. I just learned how to get an image in there. Click on the generic quilt-square looking thing next to your name (either in a posted comment or in the field where you type your email address.) That takes you to Gravatar where you sign in and upload an image.
You can upload more than one image. I didn’t know it would go back and put braNo in old posts. I was hoping I could swap out different images at will. I have a couple more anti-NeNe images I want to use..
To get the braNo, you could ask TT to forward. Or if you think of another way, I can send it. I used to have a Mac account with a password, but Apple stopped it.
Thanks, Nanette! ?
After the Kenya/Kelly bit, Kim Richards talked about someone in her family is dating Rinna’s daughter, and they could one day be family. So, she invited Rinna to the Hilton Holiday Party. The hugged. Show ended with a shotski, brought out by MDLNY (Fred made out with Andy), Ryan, Tyler and Steve. And MDLLA, Josh & Heather. Andy drew 3 names to take the shotski- Vicki, Jax and Shep.
At the end everyone got up and was dancing. Show ended with Tamra stage diving into the audience.
Monique confirmed on her Instagram that she wasn’t invited to Bravocon and this was before the Candice thing happened. It seems a married woman, with 3 adorable kids, money in the bank and beautiful homes doesn’t represent the housewife brand. Robyn also commented that she wasn’t invited as well.
I bet Vicki was steaming that Andy asked Cynthia, Stassi and Kelly about their engagements but not her. I’m still team Vicki over Ramona in the OG department, though.Ramona is absolutely insufferable and painfully unaware. I don’t blame Austen for not knowing who Kate was. Are bravolebrities expected to watch every single other Bravo show? They’d get nothing else done. I thought Kim ZB looked very pregnant too but she denied it. If she isn’t, then I agree with you TT, that she’s photoshopping the hell out of every photo. That piece of shit Jax isn’t worthy to breathe the same air has captain Lee. I thought Kim Richards looked awful but then I retracted that because she apparently was the only woman on stage who hasn’t had major work done, so that’s how a woman would normally look at her age. I bet the Countess was not happy having an Andy and the audience sing along with Kim, instead of her performing her cabaret. I know quite a few Bravoites didn’t even get to speak because of time constraints, but I thought it was a super fun show.
No Monique Invitation to Bravocon? I hope that doesn’t mean that real housewives of Salt Lake City is going to replace Potomac.
I totally did not recognize Jeana Keogh, there were 3 totally new faces, Jeana looked so different I still am not sure that’s her. BravoCon looked fun- if you’re drunkish- I hope there’s some inside gossip we get from that shit show
I thought Jeana looked great. Her face-lift looked natural not surgically enhanced freakville IMO. The fillers are the absolute worst.
You thought Jeanna looked good?! Do you know who she is and what she used to look like?! She looks AWFUL!!! I almost shed a tear when I saw her. She looks unrecognizable; like the female Mickey Rourke.
Jenna and Adrienne both have ruined their faces! They are unrecognizable. Such a shame too.
That was an enjoyable read. Thank you as I now feel a little less miserable.
Instead of spending so much time bringing them out and introducing them, i wish they would have soent more time letting the groups interact with each other. I thought Kim ckearly said she wasn’t pregnant.
I didn’t recognize Shannon, either, until she opened her mouth.
I was knitting and watching so I didn’t see the OCHW come in. When I looked up, I recognized Kelly and I noticed Shannon’s body language (legs and torso away from Kelly) but I didn’t know who it was until the camera got closer.
Andy was stirring the pot to get Kenya in a huff,but it didn’t work. Both Kenya and Kelly was confused, because there wasn’t a beef between them. They are good friends and they hugged it out, because there was nothing to see. But Andy tried it with putting Kenya on the spot about Kim ZB. The look on Kim’s face when Kenya said she would never forgive Kim was priceless. Gizelle checking Ramona on being rude was the best. Ramona seemed to be a bit scare to me.
For some reason Bravo shows a lot of favoritism to the RHOBH. They got the most attention out of all the attendees on Bravo Con…. Kim Richards and Lisa Rinna had a huge make up session. Andy asked them the most questions and all the cast was there.
I think RHOBH, ever since Brandi’s exit, has lost a lot of their appeal. It’s the most boring show on Bravo (besides Top Chef) and they beat a dead horse ALL season. Panties, what glass is appropriate to serve alcohol in, then a dog.
It was funny that Caroline left after her segment and Lisa Vanderpump also left after her segment. I bet it was because Teresa was scheduled to appear and Lisa didn’t want to be on with the RHOBH ladies.
I also think it is clear that Caroline will be back on RHOBH. Andy has really been amping up the beef between Caroline and Teresa. Caroline said she was open to returning. He also asked the other ladies on the cast if they would like her back….
Also did you see Kim’s tweets about Kenya last night? Kim tweeted that Kenya talked about her son and called him ugly because he had red hair.
Dear lord no, not Caroline. I can’t take her “thick as thieves” mafioso crap. Who would she be “friends” with anyway?
Caroline has been in talks with Sirens recently. No idea if they are talking a fulltime return or maybe just a few appearances. Don’t think anything is in ink at the moment.
I am fine with Being the only Caroline fan. I love her. Bravo viewers these days want more violent women on the screen… sigh.
You aren’t the only one. I LOVE her. I personally think they should have brought out the boys to play the ham game 🙂
Lol! Ham game! I’m neither a stan nor a hater of Caroline. However, over the long run, she’s probably the least offensive cast member past or present from NJ. Just saying.
I like Caroline too.
She was on before I watched NJ but I’ve seen a few reruns and like her more than Tre or Danielle or Siggy.
I want to see wealthy women having fun and traveling with a dose of gossip thrown in.
Exactly!
Girl, love me some “we are thick as thieves” Caroline. I would love for her to return. She stated that she would not come back as a “friend”.
How could she? She has no friends on Jersey right now. They’d have to bring back Jacqueline because Dina isn’t talking to her. Actually, Chris isn’t either so there goes that.
She has her kids and a completely adorable grandchild. I would tune in just to watch her cook and spoil the baby.
I’ve always been a Caroline Manzo fan. They need someone literate on the show to counteract The Ape’s grunts and kindergarten level education. The Ape is so dumb, she’s in danger of swallowing her own tongue! I’d buy tickets to that!!
Just glad that Tamra didn’t get any air time.
Off topic, but when are you going to write a memoir? I will be first in line to buy it. I want to hear about your travels, your kids in your classroom, your ghetto neighborhood, Banjo your rescue dog who understands you.
It would be a best seller. It would be really, really good if you had photos. Not necessary because your writing is so descriptive, but EXTRA*. I wish you could do a Travels With Tamara Tattles. Where you got PAID A LOT OF MONEY. You’ve lived in so many foreign countries that you know lots of ins and outs that many of us like to do on travels, assimilating in the wild. The opposite of people on Below Deck who make BEAUTIFUL Thailand into a Neanderfuck Florida Frat Party.
* maybe the last time I use a trendy word.
My plan is to expatriate at some point after my trusty companion kicks the bucket. And then this site will be more Travel heavy that Entertainment news. I will still be in contact with my sources and keep an eye on things but recaps will probably be fewer and posts like MY HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE TRYING TO GET MY RESIDENCY in Uruguay and HOW THE HELL DO I COOK IN CELSIUS and other hardships of living in Punta Del Este or wherever the hell I end up…. I hope you will all still read here.
I’m here for it. I LOVE House Hunters International. Just don’t be one of those douche bags who snarks at the realtor because the house isn’t exactly what you would get in the states.
Slowly I’m becoming bored with the HW. In all honestly, I love Below Deck more these days (well, not more than RHONY, but now that Bethenny is gone, Kate is my favorite slinger of snark). I can’t wait for the new Project Runway though.
That’s my plan too. I just don’t know where yet. I was thinking Costa Rica but to be honest, I’m terrified that monkeys will terrorize me.
OMG! SAME! That is one of my biggest fears. I have a friend with a house in Costa Rica and SHE HAS MONKEY IN HER YARD. And you know what else is cute but I don’t want in my yard? SLOTHS! I don’t want pooh throwing monkeys on my beach either. So I am leaning toward Uruguay.
My plan though at this point is not to just pick up and move somewhere but to travel for a bit and see what feels safe to me. I think Ecuador is english speaking and actually uses US dollars or their dollars are tied to the US dollar so everything is like the same price.
I dunno. I have been researching this for years. Uruguay was my first choice after looking at all the options. Punta Del Este looks amazing. Their health care is decent. Then I flopped back to Costa Rica. I may check out Ireland. I don’t know.
To be honest the closer this comes to reality the more confused and anxious I become. So at first I am going to call it traveling and then see where I can get residency.
What about Martinique. You could utilize your French. I bet a lot would come back once you were surrounded by it.
Your DVR also cut off Kim and Rinna squashing their beef. Amelia is dating Kim’s son-in-law’s brother so they are gonna be around each other more often. Kim even invited Rinna to the Hilton Holiday Party
Omg my dvr with Frontier also cut off! I came here to see what happened next, but it seems like every bodies dvr cut off. Have a good day! 🙂
CANNOT stand Ramona! That is all…
I really don’t get her. You would think that since she came from humble beginning that she would be more humble. Instead, her social climbing ass can only being bothered with you if you have status. I’m glad that Gizelle was giving it back to her.
I’m not so sure about her beginnings being humble. I know that she’s talked about her father being an alcoholic etc., but he was a physician so it’s not likely that she grew up poor. I don’t think she’s got a humble bone in her body whatever the story is! Ramona is bizarre and clearly a narcissist. Every time I picture her it’s the image of her crazy eyes when she walked in whatever fashion show that was way back when.
Ramona acts very entitled. The only thing I will say that allows me to only slightly tolerate her as I recall she, kept mum about her ex, their brief reconciliation and crazy drama that he brought on himself… I don’t remember her saying anything that wasn’t already “out” and then not much. I just don’t recall her dragging him, the father of their daughter. Yes, she’s an absolute hot mess, apparently all about Ramona and between her and Vicki? The cringable moments are countless. (Countess Luanne? I’m looking at you too boo!)
I thought she said she grew up poor and that she left home at an early age. I might be getting her mixed up with another housewife or it might be years of smoking pot ;).
Thanks for your great recap TT! That Tardy for the Party sing along was cringy AF! Otherwise it was just an intro fest and the only highlight seemed like Ramona getting the well deserved heat for her rudeness!! Loved Gizelle giving it to her!!!
Use to like Ramona. But can’t stand her know. In so happy Kelly is engaged. So is Camille back Only as a friend of the housewives on RHOBH?
It did seem telling who was asked questions and who just showed up. Aka who the network thinks is important or what not.
I feel like Denise Richards was hugging Captain Lee for an extended period on stage even when other people were coming on stage after Beverly Hills was asked to sit down. Probably about his son? I wanna say Jersey was walking onstage? Watching all the players interact would have been more interesting. I feel like a spy cam in the green room would have been very entertaining, more so than parading people onstage. Hearing about how players from different shows (aka like the story of Kate and Austen) interact backstage was interesting and more of that would have been more entertaining. We didn’t need Andy’s karaoke. That was a waste of time.
I have surmised on this blog before of what it means when Tinsley has been hiding her left hand in photos lately, is she engaged? As you pointed out Andy asked Kelly, Cynthia and Stassi (and not Vicki) about their engagements, which makes me wonder if Tinsley was engaged, why she would hide it or save it for a storyline? I’m guessing she’s not and she seemed shocked she got booed for getting back together with Scott. Must suck to be her. She seemed kinda drunk when hugging the new girl and prancing in her dress. It makes me think she’s so clueless and I’m rooting for her so it’s sorta disappointing.
I also recall Kim denied any pregnancy.
I also wanted to add that as Andy greeted most of the Bravolebs, he said some version of “great to see you,” but with Denise Richards, he clearly said, “Thank you for doing this.”
Thanks for the recap! I actually might have enjoyed this episode with all of them there. But I boycotted Andy’s show a very long time ago. I refuse to give him ratings because I cannot stand him and his misogyny. His games are stupid and polls are rigged and he is just overall a shitty host and his interview skills suck. The clubhouse used to look like he was filming from his mom’s basement on an old public access channel. I’m assuming it still does from photos… How is he still on the air?
I did see a clip where Tamra attempted to “crowd surf” and it was hilarious because the crowd parted and didn’t catch her. I saw she was not hurt so I felt ok about laughing about it. Sorry if it sounds mean spirited but it kinda made my weekend-lol
Lol! Couldn’t happen to a shittier person!
I take it back. It could’ve happened to any of them and it’d be funny! But, Tamra is in her own special category of stupid and vile.
Did anyone else notice Tinsley screaming in the background something like “and now she can drink!” when Andy congratulated Luann on being off probation? She screamed it several times. Lordy.
I did notice. I actually thought Tinsley said, “And she’s drinking,” not just “she can drink.”
Yes I heard that too. How could she be so rude? Maybe she was just excited that Luanne can drink socially again but after knowing what Luanne went through because of alcohol it was an exceedingly tacky comment and she, who claims to be all about manners, should know better.
HAHAHAH I LOVE that you reposted your “Circuit Raisin” Blind Item straight after this on Instagram.
I see you, SHAAAAAAADY boots!!! 😉
I went to the RuPaul drag con LA a few years back and it was amazing. I was kind of expecting that not a live version of WWHL. I love seeing OG’s housewives come back and give their updates on how life has changed for them after they leave the show. The 2 things I took away from this mess of a product! Caroline Manzo, Kim Richards and Brandi Glanville are needed for their respected cities and Dolores look was EVERYTHING! When she came out to talk to Ramona. I wish they would have a only housewives version of this because I hate everything non housewives related on bravo
Side note I saw Jerry O’ do drag at drag con
It was discussed on Radio Andy this morning. I didn’t get to listen to the entire thing (I was stuck in traffic, and a semi parked next to me – that interferes with my Sirius Radio) but someone called in who was in the audience at WWHL. She said that they filmed a LOT more – it was a long shoot. What she loved was watching the body language and interactions of the people on stage when they WEREN’T filming.
Jerry O also called in. Again, it kept cutting out. He went as just an attendee (hung out with two of Andy’s friends who were on the radio show too. I think it was Bill Persky’s daughters, or at least one was a Persky and one may have been his friend from HS). So, Jerry called in. HE COSPLAYED and I LOVE him for it. He dressed up as Kenn Todd, carried a small dog, and every time he ended a conversation yelled GOODBYE KYLE. He saw Ken later, and Ken didn’t seem pleased.
Oh, and the photo booths were a GENIUS idea. I only saw Andy’s… but they had it set up so you could be in the intro stage for Project Runway (put yourself in the promo), or Vanderpump Rules. At least I don’t think that was just for the famous people.
Omg Jerry O as Ken Todd thing is funny as hell!
Goodbye Kyle gets me every time. ?
When Banjo and I are getting along (yes, I can’t keep a fully loving relationship with my dog…) I let him outside and say… WHO LET THE DOGS OUT? WHO? WHO?!
But when I am irritated with him I let him out and say GOODBYE KYLE!
I am starting to think I am clinically insane. Errrr… some of you may have already picked up on that. Apologies.
Those are so hilarious. When the chickens come in the kitchen I say “Where do you think you are, Juanita’s?” and they know it means “you need to go outside before I give you fresh lettuce and fruit/veg scraps.” I bet Banjo has the side-eye and eyeroll down.
(Juanita was a famous former madame who opened a restaurant in the wine country before it was trendy. Animals paraded in and out all day. I guess here it is Juanita’s now that the guinea pigs come inside every night while it’s cold.)
This made me LOL. I wish there were someone I could say it to but anyone I would choose to say it to wouldn’t understand.
Apologies? Lmao. If you’re clinically insane idk wtf that says about the rest of us…
You could say “GOODBYE, Kyle” EVERYWHERE. As you leave Whole Foods… When you get an annoying phone call… when someone pisses you off…
Trader Joe’s has a wonderful cheese called Saint Andre. When I look for it, I accidentally (now on purpose) say aloud “Where’s Andre?” Every now and then, someone shopping next to me will say “At the Red Lobster” and then we talk about Project Runway and Tim Gunn.
ROFLMAO, Where’s Andre!? That was classic Tim Gunn. I was thinking about him today for some reason. He quit sex apparently when the AIDS epidemic began and has not been in a relationship since. 🙁
Oh my god. You’re legit gonna make me pee my pants! I’m serious, y’all make me laugh aloud even on the shittiest of days. I’m going to do this because, why not? Funny AF. And I’ll be reading here until the day I die because of the laughter and because TT and friends. I found my tribe.
I’m laughing and crying a bit at this. I called Simon “Poodle” for YEARS, from the first run of Will and Grace because Karen called Jack “Poodle” all the time. And just because you get irritated doesn’t mean it isn’t a fully loving relationship. I definitely called Simon an asshole at times over the 19 years I had him. There were times he attacked my hands or feet and he WASN’T playing. But I do love thinking of you doing this…. if I didn’t have a cousin named Kyle I’d consider naming the next pet Kyle!
Please don’t send me to WLS…but Ariana made a video and she put the camera on Kim and says “she’s 3 months pregnant”. Kim just kinda smiles. Kim also gave an interview where she was asked about more kids and said the usual “my clock is ticking” line and then something along the lines of “you’ll see in another 6 months or so”. Who knows with Kim. She denied it in another interview, so she could be waiting to give an “exclusive”’.
A bump looks cute on a pregnant woman. Not on an aging bimbo. If she is not pregnant, she should wear shapewear and not such a tight dress.
She’s pregnant. Kim would have sucked that gut out just like she did after the last puppy she had
It seems like a special “Highlights From Bravocon” would be a no-brainer.
Now that there will be a Below Deck Sail Yacht coming out, perhaps LuAnn can come out with the “We Got the Yacht!” theme song.
Omgggg. Jeana Keough. Was that really her??? Didn’t look anything like her. Fun fact—if you go to jacqueline Laurita’s wiki page (yes she has one?♀️?♀️?♀️) the picture there is of Jennifer Aydin, not Jacqueline….. well they do resemble each other.
All of these surgically enhanced housewives look the same to me. RHOC is the worst for me.
Has decided to age gracefully or not, but not do a horror show like some people do. Lives in Southern California and I’ve not gone blond yet either. I expect to be kicked out of the state soon.
Did Jeana and the wine in the face happen before Teresa and table flipping?
Petty moment: Quad’s “cute in the face” comment… there isn’t enough make make-up in the world to make that woman cute. #sorrynotsorry.
I love Quad. But I don’t think M2M is a good fit anymore. Bring back Kary. Quad needs a podcast spinoff similar to the Bravo “Basically Stassi” web show. “Cooking With Miss Quad” “Miss Quad in the Kitchen” or something.
I would love to see an official Bravo matchmaking show for all of the divorced/split Bravolebrities.
The whole idea of a BravoCon has me baffled. Is Andy equating the Bravo stars with Marvel characters who appear at ComicCon in San Diego? I am guessing yes, and some of the Bravolebrities have less and less to do with reality, and have been become almost caricatures of themselves. Whether’s its the middle aged male stars of Pump, who appeared to have acted as waiters before using their Bravo money to purchase multimillion dollar homes to Kim Biermann’s lips and lifestyle. The question I have, is if these Bravolebrities do not have any actual talent or skill, or overspend and are near bankruptcy, what happens to them when these shows are over? I guess they just live on the Bravo residuals if the show makes it to seven seasons.
They don’t get residuals. I need to try to find my contacts in Sheree’s hood to see if she is actually living there or in an apartment with her car in a storage unit to avoid the repo man.
Kim is going to go from a household with about 2 million in income to nothing very soon. And somehow ALLEGEDLY she is in debt. She will be feeding her kids with foodstamps by the time that story ends.
These people are less than smart. I talk about living in the ghetto all the time. But I save at least half of my income each year by living here and driving a 2007 Honda Civic (I just hit 25,000 miles!) rarely eating out, rarely buying clothes AND I PAY MY TAXES
So when the time comes I am going to get the hell out of here, I’ll still be able to run this site, though the viewership will probably be less as it becomes more about me… But that was always the plan. That’s why I didn’t make my domain have anything to do with anything other than me. Eventually the sites with housewives in their name will die. But Tamara Tattles will live on.
These fools don’t plan for the future. I doubt many of them have retirement accounts. Mine are tiny but there if I need them. These people live paycheck to paycheck just like people who make $500 a week. It’s insane to me. #NewMoneyProblems.
Ever since I’ve been reading your site, I have wondered if any of the reality personalities have financial planners. NO JOB IS PERMANENT anymore. But especially one that depends on viewership and the whims of the executives. It doesn’t even matter if the show is good or not. (PLEASE renew Mexican Dynasties!) Unpredictable. I am so waiting to hear that NeNe has lost her money. I will rejoice. With Kim Z, it was just a matter of time. #time$upKZ
The ONE thing Nene has going for her is one of the best entertainment lawyers in the business. So SURELY he is telling her to prepare for the end. OTOH he is also Kim Z
s lawyer and she is not doing anything either. So perhaps not.
Most important, I will read it EVERY DAY it is about you. I can get recaps many places. Not as knowledgeable, not as well-written, but out there. It is the EXTRA (used twice in one day) that you bring that brings us back.
Same. I’m actually looking forward to the days of no BraNo and reading about Tamara’s Travels.
Aw thanks you guys. Part of my extreme anxiety issues lately are that the time is getting closer. AND IT IS SO MUCH WORK. I’m a pretty fearless traveler. It’s weird I have panic attacks going to the grocery store but am fine going to Paris. Well I am not fine the day or two before. Traveling is kind of like moving you have a lot of shit that HAS TO BE DONE before you leave. But once my suitcase is in the back of an airport Limo, all the anxiety falls away. And a couple of drinks in at the international sky lounge I am chatting up new friends. I love the sky lounge at the newish International terminal. The entire terminal is great.
Just please GOD never let me go to MIA again. And that will be be hard if I move to South or Central America.
I’ve been using the wheelchair assistance for several years now. Highly recommend it. Makes everything easy peasy, especially when traveling solo. Just check the box when purchasing the ticket. They don’t care if you’re ambulatory- they’ll even wheel you to the bar and watch your stuff and then let you know when it’s time to roll to the gate!
Thanks it is a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG walk to the check in spot.So I am always sweaty and anxious at MIA and I have anxiety, and I am traveling alone. It’s just BAD. https://tamaratattles.com/2013/06/27/my-customs-interragation-story-aka-mia-airport-sucks-donkey-ass/ This is literally the worst experience I have ever had traveling that was not my fault.
I just Uber to the outside baggage checkin, they radio someone that they need wheelchair assistance and they literally pick you up from the curb and hang with u until you’re at gate for preboard. It’s a break for them. They push u to front of security line, wait while you shop, eat, drink, etc. I’ve even had them wheel me all the way back outside to secret smoking area before lol. I remember that story from MIA customs from hell. I had a bad incident similar to yours coming from South America where they evidently had never seen a prosthetic tit in the scanner and I finally figured out that’s what the problem was (I think they thought I was smuggling drugs in my bra lol) and I got the lesbian molestation too. When it dawned on me that was the problem, I just whipped out the rubber tit and put it on the table and told them to scan it in front of ALL the people! They were shocked but it was over after that scene and nobody even apologized. I said “It’s called breast cancer”. I was alone and I just got to the point I wanted out of there! After that trip said fuck it and been doing wheelchair ever since! I even did wheelchair with my kids and they didn’t give a shit because we always get pushed to front of the line and get to preboard. ?
I really only need a wheelchair coming to MIA from out of the country. You would not believe what a walk it is…. and the the long twisty turny parts I have a panic attack I am freaked out and sweaty I am shaking. I seem very guilty about something
It’s bad.
Ditto, going to add I won’t be going anywhere to read recaps and comments on shows that if TT quits, I’m out. Hello? She recaps too much crap for us already, her tv viewing pleasure lies elsewhere.
I found TT oddly enough trying to feed my HW addiction. I now find myself going without whole seasons of HWs from multiple cities!
Love you TT, love your commenters. I’ll read whatever you want to write about, every word, always. Your story telling hits me in all the right spots (and all the right places.., sorry broke into song for a second), attracts comments that make your site truly special, thank you.
I hope I am not quitting anytime soon. I just can’t leave my boy and he is getting old and I will not handle that well. I’d like to say I will be on a plane to DC but.., I’ll probably need some time and bore you all with all my grief unless the rainbow bridge shit starts and then you will go to the WLS.
But I do have plans for when that happens.
I know you have the plans for yourself after he goes. But I speak from experience, have a plan in place for what happens to Banjo after he goes. Get that set up, even if it is just in your mind. There is no wrong answer, but just have it in place. It was enormously comforting and made it that much easier on Simon’s last day. I was able to focus on him and myself, and I wasn’t second guessing anything.
Oh, and I should add to my 2:44 am comments… once I made those decisions (primarily that I knew I wanted him cremated and a paw print) I then just decided to enjoy each extra day I got with him for the past 3 or 4 years.
I am kinda thinking that my yard kid that I gave money to pay for his Panera clothes will be digging a four foot deep spot. Why do kids have to pay for their fast food clothes I did it too but He was freaking out 30minutes before and I am worried he was fired for being late, He needed two pairs of black pants and black shoes. He was prolly working in the kitchen.
You make me wonder if my nephew had to pay for his uniform. I know we’re supposed to be boycotting, but he works for one of the few Chick Fil A’s in Washington and they’ve been great to him. He checked with his uncles (dad’s brother and brother in law!) before doing it. They were proud he went out and got a job on his own, and said to take their money! LOL.
Like I said, no plan is a bad one. Just have it set in your mind. It made all the difference in the world. Give him a little love for me tonight and enjoy him even when he’s being a stubborn asshole.
Chick-Fil-A decided this week to no longer support the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and Salvation Army and any other charity that excludes the LGBT community.
Only meant quiting recapping HWs. You need to keep TT going on for ever, please and thank you?
I’ll keep recapping housewives for as long as I am still somewhere where I can watch housewives. On other days I shall regale you with stories about my wonderwhale fatass getting sunburned on some exotic beach. 🙂
I bet dollars to donuts that Kandi has socked away her HW income. Or lives off of that and socks away the money she gets from people singing her songs, etc.
This reminds me of a convo I recently had. I’m in Seahawk country. People joked about Marshawn Lynch and I think a lot thought because he didn’t talk or want to talk that he was dumb. (My teacher friend and I both think that ML is on the spectrum of something, or at least has some sort of social disorder, and that the NFL violated his ADA rights).
However, when he initially retired, some reporter (maybe local) interviewed some of his teammates – including some of the newbies only getting basic NFL pay. They SANG his praises. Said that meeting him for the first time, he started quizzing them about their investment/retirement plans. Their financial planning in case the career didn’t pan out. Marshawn did ads on tv for very local companies as well as Skittles.. Apparently, the bulk of what he lived on while playing for the Seahawks came from his endorsements, and he socked away/invested his big time paychecks. Earned enough to start his foundation. I hate football, but always admired him for that.
I’m as baffled as you are. I’d be dumping large amounts of money in the bank and investing if I were any of these pseudo celebrities. This is going to end for them very soon and then what will they do? I still drive a 2004 Honda, rarely eat out and only buy clothes because I work outside the home and my home is paid up. I’m 54 and don’t want to get into debt at my age. I played that game in my 20’s and 30’s.
I think we might be the same person.
Banjo may out live me you never know, and my first stop is the Libyan Embassy in Washington DC, I have a shit ton of things to do before I go. I may just take what I want and ask a friend to sell the rest. But Banjo is going to live a hundred years before I do so I’ll probably croak right here.
I have heard all of this ” I will love you forever” shit before , Read through the comments here https://tamaratattles.com/2013/06/27/my-customs-interragation-story-aka-mia-airport-sucks-donkey-ass/ I was the most interesting person in the world.. no one would ever leave me… um do you ever see those people posting there ? read the comments When I take flight you will not care for long. ;(
I’ll always be your annoying, inappropriate, rude and offensive window licker. I don’t just go away. You have to have me removed, like a growth. MWAH.
I always assumed you were court ordered to be here as part of your parole or something. 🙂
Gotta check in for at least two hours a day, baby. Do my service to the community.
And perv on Dolores’ son. IDK what y’all say. #He’s20 #It’sLegalHere #SorryNotSorry #AlsoHisDadIsDaddy
I’m not trying to be some kinda way. It’s just when I read those comments I missed those readers. And I don’t think any of them still post here and they used to comment a lot. Le sigh,
Hey, I was reading back then and I’m still here! I can’t be the only one. I stopped commenting for a long time (years!), partly because I got too busy with real life and was lucky to get a moment just to check in and read. Also, I was going through the bad crazy at some point and stopped commenting again because I didn’t think any of my comments were sane and was afraid I’d go to WLS.
You never know what other people are going through IRL. I miss a lot of those commenters too, (especially Urethra ?) I’d bet a lot of them still come and read occasionally. Even the lady that gave you the purse commented recently and said she has still been reading.
It’s like we go through phases. Now that I’m pretty much alone and not working anymore and past the bad crazy, I comment so much that I’m sure y’all wish I’d stfu for once lol! I’d bet that many are still reading and just not commenting.
But, there was also the cat lady exodus and IMO, the place is better off now than it was with all the never ending health updates! I know how hard that was on you and I don’t see anything like that happening again. You’ve curated a great group and probably more loyal and authentic than you know. Just saying… don’t let it get you down and have some faith that you are an excellent writer and story teller! Plus, it feels more like a real community than it used to. Change is inevitable and it’s often for the best. xo
When you provide links — such as legal Sheree stuff or Machiavellian RHBH — I see some regular commenters from back then that I wish still commented. It would be my GUESS that sometimes they just get too busy. Or develop chronic pain or something that takes over, allowing time to read but not comment. If they decided they were outta here, seems they would comment or say goodbye or fuck off.
TT, it’s exciting to hear more about your move and the preparations for it, even if it’s not for awhile yet. Uruguay sounds like an amazing and exotic place.
On a Bravo topic (not sure where else to post this), I was wondering/hoping they might announce a Season 3 of Southern Charm New Orleans at Bravocon, but apparently not. Haven’t seen anything online about a S3 and wondered if you have any intel on whether SCNO will be getting another season? Thanks!
I think Southern Charm NOLA is probably done. The original Southern Charm is hanging on by a thread. They cast some replacement minor characters are are getting ready to start filming all over any day now.
I was hoping they would announce season 2 of Mexican Dynasties. The good thing is that they haven’t announced a cancelation.
When Vicki was walking out to sit on stage with Ramona in the Squash the Beef segment did anyone catch it when Ramona said “I dont have any issues with Tamara” and Vicki said “I’m Vicki.” Typical Ramona.
I keep waiting for someone to talk about the audience. Sometimes as I drive my 1998 Toyota or 1992 Honda, I wonder HOW ALL THESE PEOPLE AFFORD new cars. Same with the audience. The price of tickets, food, lodging, airfare.
I die every time I think “no invite for Danielle. Bwahahaha! I bet she was PISSED. Bwahahahahaha!
