Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills Season 6 Episode 8 [Review]

This season has been the weirdest roller coaster ever. I don't mean that it's had emotional up and downs, I meant hat it's had completely bored to tears episodes followed immediately by insane nonsense and then back to boredom. It's that kind of roller coaster. Thankfully, this episode is one of the crazy ones, in that we finally get to find out what the hell Eileen was crying about in the promos, as well as meet our final housewife (!?) of the season. Get into it!

Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills Season 6 Episode 7 [Review]

Ahh yes, another Wednesday, another Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills episode to review. I know I haven't been posting a lot lately, but at least I haven't given up here, right? That counts for something. Probably. I know a couple of people that wouldn't forgive me if I didn't this one, anyway. Who doesn't love catty housewives anyway? Without further stalling or nonsensical vamping, let's move on and get this review started!

Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills Season 6 Episode 5 [Review]

Do these women ever stop? No. No is definitely the answer to that question. After last week, I wasn't sure how things were going to turn out for this season, but thankfully we have a little bit more going on here than I had expected. Season six is turning out to be a fun romp through 'Hills, and I'm sure you're going to want all the details, including why Eileen made the face in this awesome picture below.

Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills Season 6 Episode 3 [Review]

The one remaining review show I have left comes just one day after the announcement of the big purge. Though I would have liked the rid myself of all reviews throughout the holiday season, I just couldn't let this one go. You know what they say, Beverly Hills is where the heart it. Well at least Lisa Vanderpump probably says that.

Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills Season 6 Episode 2 [Review]

Ahhh RHOBH season. How I have missed you these past few months. Nothing is better than seeing my girls Lisa Vanderpump, Lisa Rinna, and Yolanda crazy it up. Unfortunately this season has gotten off to a slow start, with an even slower follow up episode. We've all seen that season trailer, so I'm ready for the exciting stuff to happen. 'Til then, let's figure out the groundworks of this seasons plot lines.

Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills Season 6 Episode 1 [Review]

Ahh! Here we are again. Another season of Beverly Hills to make the winter months bearable. I'm excited to see what Vanderpump and the crew are up to this year, as well as to get a peek at what these new housewives are all about. Aren't you? So let's not waste any more time with introductions and get right to it!

Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills Season 6 Trailer + Work Out New York Confirmed Air Date

It's finally here! Bravo has finally bestowed upon us the gift of a megatrailer for season six of one of the greatest reality TV shows of all time, Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills. If you haven't watched it, click that little tag at the bottom of the screen that says "Beverly Hills" and get into my reviews from last year. For now, let's bask in the glory that is season six!

Watch the megatrailer here.

Most notably, there are two new housewives, as well as two vets that are missing. Brandi Glanville (known as a "friend of the housewives" in season two, and later bumped up to "housewife" in season three-five) as well as Kim Richards ("Housewife" status from day one) are both absent. In their places are newcomers Erika Girardi, who also goes by Erika Jayne, and Kathryn Edwards a former model. Notably still there is Eileen Davidson, who I controversially claimed would be axed due to her boring storylines last year. The megatrailer reveals that Kim will be returning on a "Friends" basis (as well as being gossiped about), and many people close to the wives have confirmed Brandi will be back on a "Friends" basis as well.

Also returning are Adrienne Maloof, Camille Grammar, and Taylor Armstrong (!!) all of whom are former cast members. Faye Resnick, who has appeared many times in a "Friend" capacity will return as well as Bethany Frankel from RHONY. Basically what I'm saying is that this season is going to be full of cameos. But don't let that make you think for a second that means there won't be drama. The trailer alone proves that wrong. The new ladies are causing trouble, last season's unresolved fights flare back up, and they even have a storyline nabbed right out of RHOC with the ladies questioning if Yolanda is actually sick. Yikes!

[To watch the trailer yourself click the link underneath the picture. Embedding videos from Bravo seems to be disabled at this point in time.]

And then, on the same day, the beautiful TV network Bravo decided to gift us with another wondrous thing: The release date for the long anticipated Work Out New York.

Work Out New York is an upcoming series based on a classic Bravo reality show titled Work Out. The original series aired between 2006 and 2008. The new series, set in New York City, follows the lives of seven fitness instructors and their work out routines, the people they help get healthy, and all the drama that happens in their tight nit circle of friends.

The show follows (from left to right) Courtney Paul, Noah Neiman, Joe Lazo, Holly Rilinger, Lena Marti, Lindsey Clayton, and Layla Luciano. Each one of these trainers are hot, committed, and passionate, meaning that each one is going to be vying for the spotlight. Things might get a little tricky.

Bravo will be airing Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills Tuesdays starting December 1st and Work Out New York Sundays starting December 6th. I will be reviewing both RHOBH and WONY starting December 2nd and 7th respectively.

Bravo Finally Offers Up Details On Vanderpump Rules Season 4

I will never understand how Bravo operates. Every other TV station ever of all time announces far ahead of time that shows have gotten renewed with press releases. Bravo is weirdly secretive of their shows being renewed, with only the major ones (like the Real Housewives franchise) get talked about, and even then it's usually on Andy Cohen's show, or just in casting announcements. The smaller shows, like Vanderpump Rules just get trailers that fall from the sky. I guess that makes today a good day.

Praise the almighty Bravo gods that this show is back. I fell in love with this show while season three was airing and immediately wanted more. There had been rumors that the show was filming, but I never saw anything concrete. Now we have the trailer, and it's making the wait for November 2 so much more painful. The trailer covers so much from Kristen inexplicably still being a cast member, to her and James breaking up, to Shay having a drug problem (!?). It looks like things are going off the deep end this year right out of the gate.

But wait! There's more! More as in a new cast member coming in. Her name is Lala and who the hell cares? Her name is dumb and she shows off her boobs in the trailer. I'm not sure if I'm going to like her. Oh and they also ruined the biggest twist of the season in that Stassi is back. They probably could have saved that for the actual show to catch people off guard, but it is Bravo, so they are bound to do something like this. There's also a lot of drama with Jack, the Toms, and the rest of the crew, but that will have to wait until the premier.

Oh. I didn't mention I would be reviewing this? Well starting November 3 (iTunes/technical side willing) I will be reviewing the show every week. My body is definitely ready for this.

More Bad News For Real Housewives Fans -- Nene Leakes Won't Be Returning To Atlanta

It looks like Beverly Hills isn't the only Bravo show undergoing a dramatic casting change. Late yesterday, People Magazine broke the news exclusively that Nene, the raining queen of the Atlanta installment of the Real Housewives franchise won't be coming back for season eight.

It's painful for me to say this, but it looks like Atlanta's first casting casualty is the HBIC herself. I don't know why she's leaving, in fact she hasn't said specifically any reason herself. It doesn't even seem like Bravo is willing to budge on the real reasons going on behind the scenes, but it's obvious that Nene won't be short of work any time soon. With her stage acting on Broadway, her television career, and her upcoming RHOA spinoff, she's going to be doing pretty well on her own.

Nene issued the following statement via her official Facebook page:

"This is so hard for me to type! I cry as I do so! After seven seasons, I am so grateful for all the love and laughs! I can confirm that I have decided not to return to RHOA for the eighth season. Thank you everyone that has watched and supported me over the years on this amazing platform! Special thanks to Andy Cohen, True Entertainment, & Bravo for giving me the opportunity to show the world Nene Leakes and sometimes give them NayNay. This has been such a big part of my life but I am excited for new beginnings that I will share with you soon. With lots of thoughts and prayer, I've decided to step out on faith and not fear. xoxo"

At this time we are still expecting Nene's spinoff show where she will be road tripping with fellow former RHOA co-star Kim Z. Nene has not yet announced any further career plans, but surely we will be seeing more of her in the near future. Nene was the last remaining original cast member for this installment.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Ditches Two Wives, Possibly A Third

It looks like the upcoming season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is going to suck. Hard. Over the past few weeks Bravo has made a string of announcements about the show, and none of them have been positive. It looks like the next season will pull a RHNY and have a completely new cast.

Why God? Why must you punish the gays by taking away Brandi Glanville from our televisions? Bravo formerly announced yesterday that she is not coming back for the new season. This instantly makes me feel like the show is going to be cancelled. This announcement is a quick followup to last month's announcement that Kim Richards wasn't going to be returning as well, leaving only four ladies in the current lineup.

But what about Yolanda? Shortly after taping wrapped for the last season her Lyme Disease spiked up. During the taping of the reunion a few months later she could barely stand to be on set for thirty minutes. She also released a statement saying she could no longer read or write. It really looks like she won't be returning, although no official statement has been made.

What is the show going to do with only half it's cast. If you add on that the fandom really didn't feel like Eileen Davidson made enough of an impression to last another season, it looks like we are left with a skeleton crew. I guess that means it's casting time for Bravo. Who can they look to cast?

Well according to Radar Online, Bravo has already talked to the other-other Richards sister, Kathy Hilton. You know, Paris Hilton's mom? The one I said they were going to have on next season? Yeah. I'm taking all the credit for that. You're welcome Andy. No official statement has been made as of yet. It's also worth stating they haven't confirmed anybody coming back other than those who have bowed out.

So what do you think? I am personally devastated that Kim and Brandi are gone, but I can't say I'm no surprised. Kim really needs to get away from the public eye and focus on herself, and without Kim, Brandi is alone and set to be the enemy of the state. This season may be off to a rocky start, but I honestly hope it's not going to fail. I'm already pretty positive RHNJ is doomed without Teresa, and I can't have two shows cancelled in one year.

Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills Season 5 [Final Thoughts]

There you have it. The fifth season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills has come and gone. We've had lots of ups and downs and a very strange reunion, but all in all it is a pretty great ride. I will now put together my final thoughts on this season and share with everyone what I feel next season will be like. Who should stay? Who should go? Who should they cast? Well Imma tell you!

Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills Season 5 Episode 19 [Finale Review]

Thank the lord up in the sky that this season is finally wrapping up. There has been more drama than ever. You know, usually some event happens early in the season and that's all they talk about, but not these ladies. It's literally a new problem every week. At least the roller coaster is going around it's final turn and about to reach crazy town (which would be the reunion).

Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills Season 5 Episode 18 [Review]

The season is winding down and we've only got one more episode before we see them all sitting on a couch together trying not to strangle one another, but that doesn't mean the drama is going to cool down at all. No, no. Not with these crazy women. So what are they upset about this week? Let's find out!

Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills Season 5 Episode 17 [Review]

Just when you think the vacation story arc can't get any more intense -- it does! What the hell was I thinking expecting a calm moment or two. Not with the ladies of the streets of the B.H. They play hard or don't play at all. Speaking of not playing at all, the iTunes store was down, which is why this is a day late. Lord help us have all the regularly scheduled posts on time next week. Amen.

By the way, this is another MFW (My Face When) screen cap week.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 5 Episode 16 [Review]

Again, I apologize for bringing this week's review out a bit late. Due to personal circumstances both RHBH and RPDR were pushed back a day, so instead of your usual Wednesday review, I'm putting it up on my off day. So you guys better read and enjoy. Mostly because this one is a doozy. Like... A huge doozy.

Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills Season 5 Episode 15 [Review]

Hey can you believe I've kept with this show this whole time? Usually I'd get bored by now. Lucky for me, this season is anything but boring. Even when things are incredibly positive and fun, there's always the one (or two or four) girls who have to make it something drama-filled. Makes for good TV, but not for good friends. Let's see what kind of insanity the girls get into this week.

Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills Season 5 Episode 14 [Review]

Is it Wednesday already? After reaching a boiling point over the last two episodes, it really felt like things calmed down this week, which is good for the girls, not so good for us. It may have been a slower week, but don't let that deter you from reading. I'm still as snarky yet insightful as ever!

Andy Cohen Addresses RHNJ Rumors

Leave it to the king of all the Real Housewives franchises to come out and give us the news straight up. Lately, the rumor mill has been turning about one of these in particular -- New Jersey. Both rumors about casting and rumors about postponing the show until Teresa's return have been circulating, causing a bit of an uproar withing the fandom. Luckily Andy, being as vocal as always, has a few things to say to fans about these issues.

First of all let's give all the fans of the show a huge sigh of relief that Snooki, MTV's reality star cash cow from Jersey Shore and Snooki And JWOW, will not be on Bravo for Real Housewives of New Jersey. Thank God. I was very concerned when I heard this, but via Twitter, both Polizzi and Cohen have confirmed that she will not be a part of the casting process. "She ain't joining" was what Cohen responded to a fan on Twitter. And suddenly the world sighed in relief.

On the other end of the spectrum, a much larger and more likely rumor has been going around the internet, hitting all the major blogs that follow the franchise. This rumor looks at not only the survivability of the show without breakout star Teresa Giudice, but also the likelihood of it being postponed until next year when she is released. Andy's response to this was much less concise.

"I can't imagine not filming The Real Housewives of New Jersey. It's a big franchise for Bravo, and I think whatever we do, we're going to do it the right way," he explained to Us Weekly in a recent interview, "So we're still figuring that out right now."

It looks like things are still very unsure for the time being. We know that no official decision has been made just yet, but it's clear that the void will be large without Giudice. Perhaps they can bring back Jacqueline and Caroline Manzo to keep fans interested while the resident crazy lady is away. All we are left with is a vague yet hopeful quote from Andy. "Anything is possible."
 

Real Housewives Of Bevely Hills Season 5 Episode 13 [Review]

Can we get Cher down to Beverly Hills? Because we need to STOP THE INSANITY! Seriously, guys. This rollercoaster is spiraling out of control and fast. It's becoming difficult to keep track of who hates who now, and with everyone intertwining themselves in everyone else's drama, it's even confusing to figure out who is OK with who else. Oh lord. The things I do for Bravo. Anyway, let's get started with this weeks RHBH.

Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills Season 5 Episode 12 [Review]

The season is in full swing now, and we've gotten pretty much all the major story lines (drama lines, more like) set up. Now we just sit back and see where the cards fall. The lines have been drawn and people are coming to the end of their ropes. Who will be pushed over the edge today? Let's find out.
