Was Dana Muzzled During First Season on the Housewives?

Was Dana Muzzled During First Season on the Housewives?

(March 4, 2012) – Can you imagine how differently Dana Wilkey’s debut on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills would have been if she were introduced to the cast by someone like Lisa Vanderpump or Adrienne Maloof – rather than Taylor Armstrong?

That question has been buzzing through my brain ever since season two’s reunion aired and Andy Cohen gave her some time to better communicate who she is after a season when she was rarely on camera past the Game Night debacle.

Dana did as good a job as […]

Pardon me, darling?

Pardon me, darling?

(March 1, 2012) – Because I’ve temporarily lost all of my abilities to be serious on any level, I’ve spent the morning calling every nut I know and asking them to help me interpret more of those Bravo Housewives taglines as I did a few days ago when I focused on Orange County and Atlanta.

Only one of these people actually watches the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, but the way I figure it, you don’t really have to tune in as often as I do to decode their meanings. […]

Let’s Put Season Two To Bed Already

Let’s Put Season Two To Bed Already

(February 16, 2012) – For so many reasons, it is truly shocking that tonight I will be watching the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills seasons 2 Lost Footage. This is the season that simply will not end. With 20 episodes, three reunions and now a gratuitous bonus episode, it’s almost like the ladies of 90210 are stalking us.

Speaking of stalkers, what in the world is going on over there at 30 Rock? I thought it was brutal to try and blog Atlanta on a Sunday and then Rodeo Drive […]

Checkers vs. Chess: The Rise of Brandi Glanville

Checkers vs. Chess: The Rise of Brandi Glanville

(February 8, 2012) – Logistically speaking, it makes sense that Lisa Vanderpump, Brandi Glanville and Camille Grammer were seated on one sofa and Kyle Richards, Taylor Armstrong and Adrienne Maloof were perched on the other. After all, when you get right down to it, these two groups are simply not in the same league. Lisa & company appeared to be playing a logical game of chess, while Kyle and her posse seemed irrationally confident in bickering their way through a bratty round of checkers.

I say that because Lisa, Brandi […]

The Unmerciful Grilling of Lisa Vanderpump

The Unmerciful Grilling of Lisa Vanderpump

(February 4, 2012) – For the last few months, I’ve had a simmering theory that maybe Housewives shows implode during their fourth season. I first had this thought this past summer after I watched New York self-destruct. Then I saw signs that New Jersey was not far behind, as it teetered on the edge of a complete collapse.

Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice were at each other’s throats. Caroline Manzo was denying she was ever friends with Juicy Joe’s conspicuous consumer of a wife. And Jacqueline Laurita was ducking out […]

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Finale

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Finale

(January 29, 2012) – My reaction to Lisa’s daughter’s wedding surprised me. All season long I felt indifferent to Pandora and Jason tying the knot and I’ve made no secret of my boredom with Kevin Lee, the wedding planner many other people find hysterically funny. But truth be told, Kevin’s over the top “spend, spend, spend” doesn’t interest me.

Despite my disinterest in this shindig, I was enchanted by all of it and I shed a few tears when I heard Ken’s speech and also when I watched him dance […]

A Night of a Thousand Questions

A Night of a Thousand Questions

(January 17, 2012) -Wow! I don’t even know where to begin in sorting out my thoughts about last night’s episode of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Andy Cohen hyped it, suggesting that this show could have been a finale, but I disagree.

To be a true finale, in my opinion, more would have to be revealed and resolved. But still the “Night of a Thousand Surprises” was an extraordinary episode that focused on the single most dramatic restaurant opening celebration I have ever heard of. Because I lack any […]

Does Kim have the cure for cancer?

Does Kim have the cure for cancer?

(January 10, 2012) – Yes, Hawaii is beautiful. Yes, it was sweet to see Adrienne Maloof and Dr. Paul take a seaside hike, holding hands. Yes, it is wonderful to learn that Lisa Vanderpump has finally caved in and now admits she likes Brandi. How could she not? Brandi is a star and a very welcomed and much needed addition to the cast of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

As heartwarming as all of that is, the only thing I could think about this morning when I was sipping […]

God Rest Ye Merry Housewives

God Rest Ye Merry Housewives

(December 23, 2011) – It looks like we’re going to have a big break from the Housewives over the next two weeks while Bravo goes on a mini hiatus for Christmas and New Year’s Eve.

Beverly Hills will return on January 2nd, Atlanta on the 8th and those blond ladies in Coto de Cazes will be back for season 7 on February 7th with Heather Dubrow, the new token brunette that the suits at 30 Rock are so proud of themselves for casting in contrast to their posse of highlighted […]

The Surreal Housewives of Beverly Hills

The Surreal Housewives of Beverly Hills

(December 20, 2011) – Last night, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills seemed to enter an alternate, illogical universe. Even though we’re fairly used to having reactions to scenes that are completely unlike those of our friends and other bloggers, we’ve never before experienced an entire episode of a Bravo show where almost nothing anyone said or did made any sense to us. As a result we could probably spend a few days typing a list of the things we found puzzling and/or implausible.

1. We do not believe even […]
