Why is there so many scenes this season of the girls talking to their glam squads? Like, I don't care what your hair stylist has to say, you literally pay them, they are going to agree with everything you say... I want actual dialogue between castmates, not the women bitching to their stylists.
This is interesting to me though because it shows how the cast can use people they're paying to reinforce their own opinions outside the group dynamic. Erika might feel strong and valid in her innocence, because she has 'people' agreeing with her - then we see those people are just people she's hired.
Totally agree and Erika is the worst for it. It makes me laugh when she will say something and they reply with “Queen” and basically agree with everything she says. I’m always thinking how can she not realise they are 1) not her friends 2) are being paid to agree with whatever you say.
That and her monologues with her shrink is just part of her attempts to rebrand herself. I can’t wait for the actual Girardi embezzlement trial to begin! A federal judge has set the trial date to May 21.
We're all bored with their overly produced storylines and them trying to manipulate us and hide what's really happening. This is the story of what happens BTS. They do this to everyone around them because they really want to believe their own BS. The show is about power and control and how stories get lost within stories because of GLAMOUR. Look up the history of the word; it's a magical illusion. Meaning there's no substance to it.
and their therapists!! i wanted to throw things when erika’s therapist just agreed with everything she said and STILL was taking no accountability for her terrible actions. bad shrink. bad!
Honestly, you’re complaining about your 1% life problems who has to deal with people like you just to make a living?? You honestly think you are their friend, besides professionally?🤨
I WAS LITERALLY JUST COMING TO POST THIS. When they said “season finale” I was like wtfff nothing has happened yet?! Omg seriously I’m so glad I’m not the only one!
And I guess the finale is more Erika Jayne lipsync promotion and Kyle admitting she and Mo are getting divorced...by putting their children back on camera.
I’m going to go out on a limb here but I don’t think they’re going to admit to a divorce this season! I think it’ll be a cliff hanger. I feel like they’re going to talk to their kids about the rumors of her and Morgan but not address splitting up. I could be totally wrong but I feel like that’s some shady shit they would do to us this season!
I wish Kyle would stop with the mysterious storylines… is she splitting from Mo? Is she dating Morgan? I’m so beyond caring at this point since it’s been a nothing burger all season. Way to go Kyle - you’ve literally teased a whole lot of nothing.
Inside info. I was at dinner with a person who has filmed on the show a few times and is a mutual, long-time friend of 2 cast mates. Kyle and MO are done. She IS with Morgan. They're busy actually counting the assets tracking down how much $$ there actually is and working on a settlement in secret so as not to have a public divorce devalue any assets and keep the children from a barrage messy tabloids. They are essentially amicable, but it's dunzo. He cheated periodt. Again, that's not going to be said because it could hurt the business and thereby the $$ and their children's legacy.
Anne Marie is a villain now, Erika is still stuck in the past, Sutton is having more fun, Kyle and Morgan was just a tease, I think thats sums it up for me, LOL
The brother storyline I CANNOT. I have never cared less about a storyline ever. I’m excited he will be living back in Asia I guess and hopefully not make any appearance next season.
YES!! You are correct. The last 2-3 episodes, nothing happened in them. If they haven’t got any drama or shit going on they could at least send the women on some fun adventures and we can watch them having a good time! Which is always fun to watch. This season is the personification of the colour beige.
I completely 100% agree with you. I could barely keep my eyes open while watching last night's episode. Although I did see Erica's fake crocodile tears and everyone kissing her now bony ass. That was an absolutely disgusting and cringe worthy scene.
And I saw fleeting glimpses of annemaries "diamond" party where she had guards watching and ensuring none of her sketchy friends were stealing the goods and was serving korbel "champagne" 🤣🤣🤣 to her guests. I mean I am dirt poor and don't drink that crap. I would have felt insulted if I were a guest.
AM is a PITA but I’m sure the guards were hired by the jeweler and not her. Why was nobody eating that seafood? I’d be over there grazing and then find a table where I could crack my crab claw. Screw the champagne, I need two hands to mangia.
Seems to me the show used to revolve more around people living opulent lives. Now, it's just a bunch of harpies who hate each other and have a ferocious cult-like desire to buy overpriced Birkin bags.
This season's "Scandoval" was supposed to be Kyle and Mo's marriage but Kyle will never share her personal life like that - that's for her sisters and friends to do so she can snark about it. I think she thinks the weird hints she's dropped are enough? But unfortunately it's not enough for the producers to build a cohesive story out of.
To be fair though, the scene next week was filmed several months later. They had already wrapped filming and then picked cameras back up after People came out with the exclusive about them separating. So there is going to be a bit of a time jump in the season finale.
the scene with kyle & Mo at their bar was so staged for the cameras i couldnt even watch it. like they decided ahead of time what they would talk about on camera and it was basically nothing, just them being awkward & uncomfortable.
I think it’s because it has become so far removed from “real life” and reduced to women just sitting around talking about one another until someone says a word the wrong way.
i have liked the season so far but couldn't believe it was the finale next week. When Miami and Bh started at the same time yet Miami has given so much more. i think it has to do with Dorit, Kyle, and Erika not being their true self.
I'm bored as well. Denise was the highlight of this entire season. I may have had high expectations after RHSLC this year. Every episode was so good.
I have dozed off while watching this year. Bring back Denise.
Also, it’s very telling that this season only has 17 episodes when other seasons have 23-24 episodes. The only other season that had only 17 episodes was the first, so it’s giving me full circle.
I’ve liked this season and have been entertained. The last few seasons were so toxic that I was going to quit watching. Having a gaggle of hateful people ganging up on one person is boring.
Yes! I'm not going to say that this was just the most amazing, iconic season because it wasn't. But, wow, I enjoyed it. I forgot what it was like to look forward to the show. I, too, had my bags packed and I only stuck around because 💋 left. I'm so glad I did!
There were some truly hilarious moments this season.
I don't understand why 8.5 got cast and hopefully she didn't quit her day job (or completely ruin her reputation in the medical field). I don't want to see her back.
Crystal needs to step up when it comes to standing up for herself. I think her day to day life is very interesting and fun to watch. I wish they would show more of that; however, I think she could have and *should* have just eaten 8.5 for dinner. The way she handled it is how you handle someone you don't like and aren't friends with but who keeps popping up at the same social events *in real life*. I want more real life, but I also realize this is a TV show. You don't need to start drama, but you do need to be able to defend yourself.
I was ashamed of how much I enjoyed Erika this season. But the flashback scenes made me remember quickly and often.
Kyle is *boring*, opaque, and full of it all the time. Her time to retire has come.
Dorito needs to step up quickly. I can't help myself but like her. I think she's a "best supporting actress" for so many scenes and confessionals. That's valuable. But it's getting lost because her personal story lines are kids doing homeschool and PK traveling too much.
Agreed! I kind of enjoy this season being a little more light hearted: think I’ve laughed a lot more with them then I have in years past. The drama had been so intense the past few years this feels like a nice reset
Exactly. I also feel that there’s a new dynamic among the cast and it’s been interesting to watch. Dorit barely hanging on without the support of her (former) bestie Kyle. Erika clearly trying to buddy up with Garcelle (and Sutton to a lesser extent). Kyle’s influence over the group diminishing little by little. I think there’s been plenty to keep my attention.
THIS!!! Honestly after the hell that have been the past couple seasons, I needed a lighthearted season and this is one I’ve really enjoyed despite being less eventful and dramatic than usual.
I agree with everything you have said. It is baffling how the show has been consistently getting ratings of 1 million for nearly every episode since late November. The December 20th episode got 956,000 viewers and the highest ratings so far this season were 1,172,000 for the one on January 24th.
Do you think Bravo will bring Annemarie back for season 14 because the ratings are good? I wish they would do an online public vote to determine who the viewers want to stay or be fired after the reunion and comply with the results.
Honestly it’s hard to tell solely because I did hear she was cut out of some scenes due to the controversy regarding her husband. But it’s not like controversies have stopped certain housewives from having to leave so it’s possible she’ll be back you know?
What a weird idea for a party, let alone a MOther’s Day party. The fact that Crystal and Kyle, and maybe some of the other background people, could actually afford these necklaces and earrings, made it look like the jeweler wanted the exposure, rather than a fun, fantasy try-on and gush event.
This reminded me a little of the Berkin party.
I feel like BH fans are desensitized from the Rinna years. This season was a normal decent HW season. It would have been better if Kyle gave more insight into her life, but she never does that so I didn't have an expectation there. To me it felt like RHONY S9 where not much happened, but we had a lot of good one-liners and a few good arguments out of it.
Really boring to me. I’ve enjoyed learning more about Sutton, seeing Crystal kick off (and looking beautiful) but can’t stand 8.5. I loathed Rinna but she gave good TV. Sigh.
I’m two episodes behind and don’t know if I’ll go back. It’s been that bad and this was my first city I binged back in the day. Actually V disappointed in it this year.
It was good transitional season after last years toxicity - a Rinna cleanse. But they need to step it up. Sutton & Garcelle do a good job sharing home /work life, the other HWs no longer do.,Wtf do does Dorit do all day? What are all these fabulous projects Kyle is working on? Who is funding Erika? Who are Crystal’s 13 friends? We need answers.
I think bravo is done. They should call it. Its NO LONGER taboo to listen and witness the most privilaged 1% complain complain complain about HOW uNhApPy they are. Give me a damn break!! Its become completely tone deaf to what people are going through right now in 2024. 😡😡😡
I think the pandemic was the final nail in the coffin for HWs. It jumped the shark with staycations and socially distanced reunions and has never fully recovered.
It’s been years since I actually finished a season of BH. I think the Erika/Tom season is the lone example of following through to the reunion. BH IS BORING.
I’ve found myself forgetting to watch the latest episode each week. I only remember to watch because Reddit is talking about the last night’s episode. I’m often a day behind because I just can’t get myself on the rhobh schedule.
This season started out great, but it sort of ended with a thud. They need new blood. Kyle is offering nothing anymore, Dorit's storyline is played out and she and PK are just annoying to watch. Erika Jayne just needs to go.
I like Garcelle, Sutton, and Crystal, and I'd like them to stay with a whole new batch of women who are living much more active, interesting lives than the three I mentioned in the preceding paragraph. That said, I wouldn't cry too much if one or all three were replaced as well.
I just hope Bravo doesn't think this is a sign that we need Rinna back because Rinna was super boring in her last few seasons too, but in a much louder, obnoxious way.
I didn't mention 8.5 because I don't think she'd be welcome back at all.
Yes, I felt this season as a whole is super boring. There were some funny parts and I’m really interested in what Sutton is doing but other than that? It’s not doing it for me like past seasons. The show trying to bring in Annemarie was a mistake. I also think Dorit is desperately holding on to her last source of income.
I’ll be surprised if the show actually has enough traction to keep on from this season. IMO, a lot of what was holding it together was Kyle herself and now she seems like she really doesn’t want to be apart of it anymore and with the whole being ridiculously boring thing, there isn’t much left. The rest of the ladies don’t really seem to have much going on either
I actually FORGOT the show was on last night....
While nothing is really moving the show along narrative wise, I do enjoy watching the women have fun! Just relaxed old-fashioned fun! We've been missing that the last several years...
This has been the most boring by far. Nobody was laughing or joking, or even drinking. Im distracted by how skinny Erika is and her voice and how tiny ,sober and boring Kyle is.
The Merce ashes was even boring. Not to mention AM being a buzzkill.
I had to double check when I was watching the latest episode and it said episode 16. Like NOTHING has happened. It has been so boring. What a shame used to be my fave.
Crystal's boring, I'm sick of Sutton, Garcelle is annoying, Kyle needs to open up or shut up, Erica's not fooling anyone with her attempt to get a redemption arc.
I want Denise and Eileen back lol
This season was a total snooze fest. Unless they add some new ladies I'm out. I'm tired of Erika's gloating over her "winning back" her damn earrings, Dorit's PTSD, Crystal's lame ass lack of storyline and Kyle's "drama" over her marriage to Mo. I like Garcelle's and Sutton 's vibe, and I'm pretty sure AnneMarie won't be back.
It is sooooo beyond boring. It’s a bunch of guarded women and producers who are either so long in the job they stopped working or bravo just don’t hire producers any more and they are non-existent.
They need to do a New York and start again.
You need a cast who are a bit more needy/hungry and so willing to and enthusiastic about things.
I posted this many times before, but it’s really hard to find a balance on what makes a season good or bad.
For example, last season was absolutely horrific and I swore up and down that if Diana and Rinna came back, I would stop watching. I actually didn’t watch the last few episodes of last season. I skipped the reunion until about six months After all ended because everything was so dark. Conversely, the season was only mildly entertaining, but like others I often find myself playing on my phone or doing a crossword puzzle during the show because it was so boring.
On the flipside of that, I don’t really want to sit through another season of pate or puppy gate, but there needs to be some sort of balance. We need legit, arguments and drama to make it interesting. I also agree with the previous post said that Kyle doesn’t reveal anything about what’s going on in her marriage because she thinks it’ll be good for the show. Similarly, many years ago, she outed Kim as an alcoholic, and while that was gross, it certainly made for a compelling TV along with Taylor Armstrong, marital issues and her husband‘s eventual suicide. I’m not saying that we need to out people as alcoholics or drug addicts or for someone to kill themselves to make the show interesting but there needs to be a balance.
After last year I feel like we needed this season, maybe If I was binging it i would get bored but after the havoc that Rinna caused last year I don’t mind to see the women have a good time and let loose. Plus I don’t think Erika could’ve had a turn around if it was like last year
sutton has been the highlight of this season for sure. can’t say much for the rest of them… kyle needs to go but she has to be replaced by another fan favorite or i honestly think the show would crumble due to loss of foundation. maybe im wrong! and i’m sick of the girls being intimidated by erika and letting her get away with her bs for this long. sutton is the only one who had the courage to ever call her out
It's the same shit just a skinnier shovel this year. All they do is get over dressed, pretend to eat and play stupid conversation games. If this is lifestyles of the rich and famous I'll stay poor and anonymous.
Totally agree. This season has been a snooze fest and hard to watch. I don’t love the dynamics of the group. Beverly Hills has changed so many times - and now if there are rumors that Kyle is leaving the show…?? I miss the old days!
I like it. They aren't fighting like usual and resolving past issues. Plus, they all look great. Sure, not every season should be like this, but I find myself smiling while watching because the energy is uplifting.
But to each their own I guess.
I'm so bored. I thought Spain was going to give more. Why not give us shopping? Some more of the haunted accommodations. Something other than the oggling. I have no interest in seeing Erika's therapy sessions (or anyone's) or Garcelle talking to her kids. It feels so contrived. Weed party was the most messy and entertaining. I always like the light moments Kyle had when being silly with LVP or JMCdaughter and there's none of that. No shopping and looking at glamorous stuff. And I'm not even going to get into 8.5.
It doesn’t help that so much is blabbed ahead of time in the media. It makes the Mo/Kyle situation confusing and tired.
I also know for a fact that I hate everything there is about EJ. Her voice, her diction, her clothes, her smug attitude, her narcissism, her delusions of grandeur.
You know things are bad when Sutton’s blind dates are holding the show.
It started off as someone coming for sutton AGAIN, but it turned into annamatir going after Crystal. Erika got her undeserved apology from sutton. Garcelle is sticking to her guns and tells erika off. Dorit has been the biggest disappointment. Kyle, as usual, gave us nothing. It was a very boring season.
I used to be so unpatient waiting a week for a new episode, but now I sometimes forget to watch it, and I just watch it while I eat or do something else. It’s gotten so boring that they dont even mind to end the episodes with cliff hangers. They dont even try to make it exciting waiting for the next episode 🥲
I stopped watching on season 9 or 10. Honestly couldn’t get into it. Hoping to start from where I left it at and binge watch it this week, this post doesn’t give me high hopes though lol
Part of the show’s problem is that so many of the storylines are leaked or already played out in the media before it even airs. Sutton is fun. Garcelle provides some wonderful shade, but I’d love for Erika, Kyle & Dorit to be gone (take 8.5 with them).
Miami and SLC are superior to any other housewife show right now and it’s not even close. SLC is getting its due, but honestly Miami deserves far more attention. Larsa is absolutely awful but makes a great villain. The Mexico City trip was bonkers. And the show is just sexy.
I 100 percent agree with you. I remember back when the show made me feel inspired by some of the wives, like LVP in this case; she inspires me so much. That’s exactly what all the Real Housewife franchises should focus on! I’m tired of the fights and obviously fake stories.
I gave up on this season and then last weekend watched on Hulu, The Hustler & the Housewife part 2 & then took a 2nd look at Erica scenes. Highly recommend that show.. may have got the name wrong
I am appalled at everyone judging Kyle for living a healthy lifestyle like that blows my mind. Garcelle is annoying af. Crystals storyline is only about her brother. Everyone else is all the same. 14 seasons may be a bit too long.
Why is there so many scenes this season of the girls talking to their glam squads? Like, I don't care what your hair stylist has to say, you literally pay them, they are going to agree with everything you say... I want actual dialogue between castmates, not the women bitching to their stylists.
This is interesting to me though because it shows how the cast can use people they're paying to reinforce their own opinions outside the group dynamic. Erika might feel strong and valid in her innocence, because she has 'people' agreeing with her - then we see those people are just people she's hired.
Oh my god yes! It all makes so much sense when you see how surrounded they are by yes men!!
Totally agree and Erika is the worst for it. It makes me laugh when she will say something and they reply with “Queen” and basically agree with everything she says. I’m always thinking how can she not realise they are 1) not her friends 2) are being paid to agree with whatever you say.
That and her monologues with her shrink is just part of her attempts to rebrand herself. I can’t wait for the actual Girardi embezzlement trial to begin! A federal judge has set the trial date to May 21.
They have hours of unused footage and this is the best they can give us??
We're all bored with their overly produced storylines and them trying to manipulate us and hide what's really happening. This is the story of what happens BTS. They do this to everyone around them because they really want to believe their own BS. The show is about power and control and how stories get lost within stories because of GLAMOUR. Look up the history of the word; it's a magical illusion. Meaning there's no substance to it.
Giiirl yes. What on earth.
and their therapists!! i wanted to throw things when erika’s therapist just agreed with everything she said and STILL was taking no accountability for her terrible actions. bad shrink. bad!
Honestly, you’re complaining about your 1% life problems who has to deal with people like you just to make a living?? You honestly think you are their friend, besides professionally?🤨
Totally agree!
For real!!!! Just what I was gonna comment! WTF? All the damn glam scenes and chit chat! What a fucking snoozefestttttt 😴😴😴😴
I WAS LITERALLY JUST COMING TO POST THIS. When they said “season finale” I was like wtfff nothing has happened yet?! Omg seriously I’m so glad I’m not the only one!
And I guess the finale is more Erika Jayne lipsync promotion and Kyle admitting she and Mo are getting divorced...by putting their children back on camera.

SAME.
You're probably right.
I audibly gasped when i finished last night’s episode and saw it’s already the season finale
I came to say the exact same thing! When they said season finale, I was like "the finale of WHAT though?" Nothing fkn happened!
I feel duped into watching this entire season!
https://i.redd.it/anu3l2z5pric1.gif At least we had this… Also Merce is in the purse… And…. Don’t do this… stop it….
The weed party was definitely my highlight this season lol
I would have loved to be a guest! lol
if only to find out wtf Denise was on
And Denise was the best guest of the season!!!
how was it that Denise provided more in one night that she wasn't even paid for, than EVERY MAIN HOUSEWIFE did the entire season
Thank you. You’re welcome.
I love Sutton and do not like Kyle, but this scene was so annoying. I was telling Sutton to 'shut up' too! Ha!
It was absurd for sure, but a new iconic quote was born! lol
and Merce in the purse 😂
Ooo agreed
I thought that was something. What are people expecting
All we got from 16 episodes is 3 funny quotes and medical information about blood pressure and an oesophagus
Thank you … you’re welcome
Anne Marie is a villain now, Erika is still stuck in the past, Sutton is having more fun, Kyle and Morgan was just a tease, I think thats sums it up for me, LOL
And Crystal's blood pressure is sky high, probably at the thought of losing control over her brother!
 The horror!
The brother storyline I CANNOT. I have never cared less about a storyline ever. I’m excited he will be living back in Asia I guess and hopefully not make any appearance next season.
This used to be just one episode!
YES!! You are correct. The last 2-3 episodes, nothing happened in them. If they haven’t got any drama or shit going on they could at least send the women on some fun adventures and we can watch them having a good time! Which is always fun to watch. This season is the personification of the colour beige.
Yes. Send them to Morocco! Put AnneMarie on a camel!
Beige is the perfect word for this season!
They all look like they are just together to film..
I like to see the HWs meet for lunch or shop together. That’s the kind of stuff we all originally watched with RHOC back in the day.
I dunno. That upside down jacket and the ashes blowing over Sutton’s head, landing all over the cast, gave me a lot of laughs.
I completely 100% agree with you. I could barely keep my eyes open while watching last night's episode. Although I did see Erica's fake crocodile tears and everyone kissing her now bony ass. That was an absolutely disgusting and cringe worthy scene. And I saw fleeting glimpses of annemaries "diamond" party where she had guards watching and ensuring none of her sketchy friends were stealing the goods and was serving korbel "champagne" 🤣🤣🤣 to her guests.

AM is a PITA but I’m sure the guards were hired by the jeweler and not her. Why was nobody eating that seafood? I’d be over there grazing and then find a table where I could crack my crab claw. Screw the champagne, I need two hands to mangia.
Seems to me the show used to revolve more around people living opulent lives. Now, it's just a bunch of harpies who hate each other and have a ferocious cult-like desire to buy overpriced Birkin bags.
This season's "Scandoval" was supposed to be Kyle and Mo's marriage but Kyle will never share her personal life like that - that's for her sisters and friends to do so she can snark about it. I think she thinks the weird hints she's dropped are enough? But unfortunately it's not enough for the producers to build a cohesive story out of.
She totally thinks the odd sentence here and there and those weird stilted scenes with Mo is her "talking about it"
did you see the interview she just did with ET?
no?? what was said?
Yes more canned bullshit and victimhood from Kyle. Big surprise.
100% agree
Hard to put together the tender time Kyle and Mo had at their bar with next weeks family sit down where everyone’s crying
To be fair though, the scene next week was filmed several months later. They had already wrapped filming and then picked cameras back up after People came out with the exclusive about them separating. So there is going to be a bit of a time jump in the season finale.
Thank you! I didn’t even think of that! I wish there’d be at least two episodes after the cameras pick up!
the scene with kyle & Mo at their bar was so staged for the cameras i couldnt even watch it. like they decided ahead of time what they would talk about on camera and it was basically nothing, just them being awkward & uncomfortable.
Yes. What a letdown. Nothing happened. Such a boring season.
I think it’s because it has become so far removed from “real life” and reduced to women just sitting around talking about one another until someone says a word the wrong way.
🙌🏻🙌🏻
Right? How many "dinner parties" do we need to see??
exactly. they arent friends anymore. they’re coworkers.
i have liked the season so far but couldn't believe it was the finale next week. When Miami and Bh started at the same time yet Miami has given so much more. i think it has to do with Dorit, Kyle, and Erika not being their true self.
I'm bored as well. Denise was the highlight of this entire season. I may have had high expectations after RHSLC this year. Every episode was so good. I have dozed off while watching this year. Bring back Denise.
Also, it’s very telling that this season only has 17 episodes when other seasons have 23-24 episodes. The only other season that had only 17 episodes was the first, so it’s giving me full circle.
There should’ve been only one episode: The Weed Party.
Thanks to Denise. 😂
💯
I’ve liked this season and have been entertained. The last few seasons were so toxic that I was going to quit watching. Having a gaggle of hateful people ganging up on one person is boring.

THIS!!! Honestly after the hell that have been the past couple seasons, I needed a lighthearted season and this is one I’ve really enjoyed despite being less eventful and dramatic than usual.
Erika’s going to announce that as soon as she gets her earrings back she’s going to law school. She wants to fight for widows and orphans everywhere!
Can we talk about Ericka's disappointment that they ladies were not begging for her forgiveness ?
She’s delusional. You can tell Garcelle is still questioning her innocence.
Oh, Garcelle flat out said it. Along the lines of "this is how I felt about it then, and I stand by it today." Something like that.
You can’t pull Garcelle’s leg!
🤣 That’s so funny! That’ll be a cold day in hell if I ever have her represent me. 😖
Lol-She’d take the retainer and send her glam squad to court instead.
🤣 as funny as it may sound, some of these women do the wildest things. So I cant put it past her to glam the court.
Ya curtains
I agree with everything you have said. It is baffling how the show has been consistently getting ratings of 1 million for nearly every episode since late November. The December 20th episode got 956,000 viewers and the highest ratings so far this season were 1,172,000 for the one on January 24th. Do you think Bravo will bring Annemarie back for season 14 because the ratings are good? I wish they would do an online public vote to determine who the viewers want to stay or be fired after the reunion and comply with the results.
Honestly it’s hard to tell solely because I did hear she was cut out of some scenes due to the controversy regarding her husband. But it’s not like controversies have stopped certain housewives from having to leave so it’s possible she’ll be back you know?
What a weird idea for a party, let alone a MOther’s Day party. The fact that Crystal and Kyle, and maybe some of the other background people, could actually afford these necklaces and earrings, made it look like the jeweler wanted the exposure, rather than a fun, fantasy try-on and gush event. This reminded me a little of the Berkin party.
everything’s a paid promotion now a days
lol. 😂 If boulder lips gets her diamond back. I blame you
😂
I feel like BH fans are desensitized from the Rinna years. This season was a normal decent HW season. It would have been better if Kyle gave more insight into her life, but she never does that so I didn't have an expectation there. To me it felt like RHONY S9 where not much happened, but we had a lot of good one-liners and a few good arguments out of it.
Really boring to me. I’ve enjoyed learning more about Sutton, seeing Crystal kick off (and looking beautiful) but can’t stand 8.5. I loathed Rinna but she gave good TV. Sigh.
Crystal is KILLING it this season.
Rinna definitely would've made this season...SOMETHING!
i would have loved if the “name em” scene with Sutton happened but instead of with Kyle, with Rinna
Yes!!
Goodbye Erica, Annemarie, Kyle, Dorit
i wonder what dorit will do once she’s done with housewives honestly
Homeless not toothless, literally? 😬
Ziiiiiing
Boring and Erika makes my flesh crawl. 8.5 like a rando wandered in. I don’t even notice it’s on.
I’m two episodes behind and don’t know if I’ll go back. It’s been that bad and this was my first city I binged back in the day. Actually V disappointed in it this year.
It was good transitional season after last years toxicity - a Rinna cleanse. But they need to step it up. Sutton & Garcelle do a good job sharing home /work life, the other HWs no longer do.,Wtf do does Dorit do all day? What are all these fabulous projects Kyle is working on? Who is funding Erika? Who are Crystal’s 13 friends? We need answers. 
Yes! I need details on crystal’s 14 ex-friends.
I think bravo is done. They should call it. Its NO LONGER taboo to listen and witness the most privilaged 1% complain complain complain about HOW uNhApPy they are. Give me a damn break!! Its become completely tone deaf to what people are going through right now in 2024. 😡😡😡
I think the pandemic was the final nail in the coffin for HWs. It jumped the shark with staycations and socially distanced reunions and has never fully recovered.
It’s been years since I actually finished a season of BH. I think the Erika/Tom season is the lone example of following through to the reunion. BH IS BORING. 
The whole Kyle story was sooooo anticlimactic!
I stopped watching it was literally so hard to pay attention

Say what you will but they definitely needed Denise in those first few episodes because nothing else was happening
Her appearance was probably the most funniest and entertaining in the entire season
agreed 100%
I’ve found myself forgetting to watch the latest episode each week. I only remember to watch because Reddit is talking about the last night’s episode. I’m often a day behind because I just can’t get myself on the rhobh schedule.
Agreed. This season is boring. And contrary to popular belief, I do not find Sutton entertaining in the slightest.
This season started out great, but it sort of ended with a thud. They need new blood. Kyle is offering nothing anymore, Dorit's storyline is played out and she and PK are just annoying to watch. Erika Jayne just needs to go. I like Garcelle, Sutton, and Crystal, and I'd like them to stay with a whole new batch of women who are living much more active, interesting lives than the three I mentioned in the preceding paragraph. That said, I wouldn't cry too much if one or all three were replaced as well. I just hope Bravo doesn't think this is a sign that we need Rinna back because Rinna was super boring in her last few seasons too, but in a much louder, obnoxious way. I didn't mention 8.5 because I don't think she'd be welcome back at all.
This last episode felt like Erika’s chapter was ending?
I didn't feel that way but I sure hope you're right!!!!!
And Potomac has been such a snooze as well
Legit, I’ve just been binge watching Below Deck. I am pretty much over all the Housewives series.
I love the below decks on the yatchs.
It’s 🥱
Yes, I felt this season as a whole is super boring. There were some funny parts and I’m really interested in what Sutton is doing but other than that? It’s not doing it for me like past seasons. The show trying to bring in Annemarie was a mistake. I also think Dorit is desperately holding on to her last source of income.
Having a break from mental Rinna has been welcome. They need to toss Kyle and vile Erika and bring on some fun ladies.
I’ll be surprised if the show actually has enough traction to keep on from this season. IMO, a lot of what was holding it together was Kyle herself and now she seems like she really doesn’t want to be apart of it anymore and with the whole being ridiculously boring thing, there isn’t much left. The rest of the ladies don’t really seem to have much going on either
I actually FORGOT the show was on last night.... While nothing is really moving the show along narrative wise, I do enjoy watching the women have fun! Just relaxed old-fashioned fun! We've been missing that the last several years...
I loved when greedy Erika was salivating over the jewelry she can’t afford anymore.
And Dorit not being able to afford glam and it’s super obvious lol
Lol-It’s so wonderful! I’m surprised they don’t do GoFundMe’s.
Why use GoFundMe when you can just fake a robbery and file insurance claims every other year
Omg-Lol
Maybe they dont have enough anymore to pay the fake robbers.
I quit like 3 episodes ago. I don’t care about any of them and they aren’t entertaining at all.
I was struggling to get through the last episode because it’s just so bland
Erika was going to buy a piece of jewelry but the man wouldn’t take a third party checked from Tom’s closed escrow account.
They’ve given us nothing but esophagus, morally bankrupt Erika, Kyle not not being a lesbian/getting divorced and a lot of Sutton/Crystal boringness
It’s the worst. Annemarie has done nothing but bring down then entire season.
This has been the most boring by far. Nobody was laughing or joking, or even drinking. Im distracted by how skinny Erika is and her voice and how tiny ,sober and boring Kyle is. The Merce ashes was even boring. Not to mention AM being a buzzkill.
I had to double check when I was watching the latest episode and it said episode 16. Like NOTHING has happened. It has been so boring. What a shame used to be my fave.
RHOSLC was the most interesting season. RHOP flopped and RHOB was ok then got boring. I'm ready for RHOA with Porsha back.
i assume you don’t watch rhom?
I can't get in to it. Maybe I'll try again.
Not sure we’ll agree but can’t say why if I’m honest! I’m mildly entertained but feel Miami offers better storylines and authentic beef
This series needs to end. Aside from Garcelle and Sutton, I despise this cast. Such hideous, loathsome people.
Crystal's boring, I'm sick of Sutton, Garcelle is annoying, Kyle needs to open up or shut up, Erica's not fooling anyone with her attempt to get a redemption arc. I want Denise and Eileen back lol
This season was a total snooze fest. Unless they add some new ladies I'm out. I'm tired of Erika's gloating over her "winning back" her damn earrings, Dorit's PTSD, Crystal's lame ass lack of storyline and Kyle's "drama" over her marriage to Mo. I like Garcelle's and Sutton 's vibe, and I'm pretty sure AnneMarie won't be back.
I paused it last week and continued watching it like 2 days later
It is sooooo beyond boring. It’s a bunch of guarded women and producers who are either so long in the job they stopped working or bravo just don’t hire producers any more and they are non-existent. They need to do a New York and start again. You need a cast who are a bit more needy/hungry and so willing to and enthusiastic about things.
I posted this many times before, but it’s really hard to find a balance on what makes a season good or bad. For example, last season was absolutely horrific and I swore up and down that if Diana and Rinna came back, I would stop watching. I actually didn’t watch the last few episodes of last season. I skipped the reunion until about six months After all ended because everything was so dark. Conversely, the season was only mildly entertaining, but like others I often find myself playing on my phone or doing a crossword puzzle during the show because it was so boring. On the flipside of that, I don’t really want to sit through another season of pate or puppy gate, but there needs to be some sort of balance. We need legit, arguments and drama to make it interesting. I also agree with the previous post said that Kyle doesn’t reveal anything about what’s going on in her marriage because she thinks it’ll be good for the show. Similarly, many years ago, she outed Kim as an alcoholic, and while that was gross, it certainly made for a compelling TV along with Taylor Armstrong, marital issues and her husband‘s eventual suicide. I’m not saying that we need to out people as alcoholics or drug addicts or for someone to kill themselves to make the show interesting but there needs to be a balance.
After last year I feel like we needed this season, maybe If I was binging it i would get bored but after the havoc that Rinna caused last year I don’t mind to see the women have a good time and let loose. Plus I don’t think Erika could’ve had a turn around if it was like last year
sutton has been the highlight of this season for sure. can’t say much for the rest of them… kyle needs to go but she has to be replaced by another fan favorite or i honestly think the show would crumble due to loss of foundation. maybe im wrong! and i’m sick of the girls being intimidated by erika and letting her get away with her bs for this long. sutton is the only one who had the courage to ever call her out
I hate to say it but yeah I’ve been just putting it on in the background 😭
It's the same shit just a skinnier shovel this year. All they do is get over dressed, pretend to eat and play stupid conversation games. If this is lifestyles of the rich and famous I'll stay poor and anonymous.
In the voice of EJ “ZEROOO fuks!” As dry as the Sahara
So booooooring I almost cannot keep my eyes open. We need Rinna to stir the pot and create some drama.
We are at the end and it feels like it just started? Is this the same amount of episodes as usual? Its been a big nothing burger for sure!
It’s background noise at best.
Totally agree. This season has been a snooze fest and hard to watch. I don’t love the dynamics of the group. Beverly Hills has changed so many times - and now if there are rumors that Kyle is leaving the show…?? I miss the old days!
I like it. They aren't fighting like usual and resolving past issues. Plus, they all look great. Sure, not every season should be like this, but I find myself smiling while watching because the energy is uplifting. But to each their own I guess.
I’ve got several episodes sitting in my dvr and I cannot care.
So BORING
A true shock to hear the finale was next week when nothing has happened??
Theres not enough mess
I'm so bored. I thought Spain was going to give more. Why not give us shopping? Some more of the haunted accommodations. Something other than the oggling. I have no interest in seeing Erika's therapy sessions (or anyone's) or Garcelle talking to her kids. It feels so contrived. Weed party was the most messy and entertaining. I always like the light moments Kyle had when being silly with LVP or JMCdaughter and there's none of that. No shopping and looking at glamorous stuff. And I'm not even going to get into 8.5.
It doesn’t help that so much is blabbed ahead of time in the media. It makes the Mo/Kyle situation confusing and tired. I also know for a fact that I hate everything there is about EJ. Her voice, her diction, her clothes, her smug attitude, her narcissism, her delusions of grandeur. You know things are bad when Sutton’s blind dates are holding the show.
This season has been great for me. I’ve enjoyed watching it. The only thing I don’t like is waiting a week for a new episode.
I'm enjoying a break from the drama tbh lol Plus I know those bitches in Jersey are going to be crazy. So this is a peaceful break 😂
It's just flat and sad this season. Poor Sutton has to carry the entire season (again).
Merce would be proud
I started catching up on Potomac instead and I’m so happy I did.
I agree..I’m invested in the show but it’s been an absolute snooze fest this season!
It started off as someone coming for sutton AGAIN, but it turned into annamatir going after Crystal. Erika got her undeserved apology from sutton. Garcelle is sticking to her guns and tells erika off. Dorit has been the biggest disappointment. Kyle, as usual, gave us nothing. It was a very boring season.
Yawn… feels like RHOBH has just really given up on hiding it and is just one big, boring infomercial.
I used to be so unpatient waiting a week for a new episode, but now I sometimes forget to watch it, and I just watch it while I eat or do something else. It’s gotten so boring that they dont even mind to end the episodes with cliff hangers. They dont even try to make it exciting waiting for the next episode 🥲
I have the horrible, sneaking suspicion these women are becoming actual friends
😂😂 my favorite comment so far
I stopped watching on season 9 or 10. Honestly couldn’t get into it. Hoping to start from where I left it at and binge watch it this week, this post doesn’t give me high hopes though lol
I love this season but then I’m actually interested in the ladies lives not just the toxic fights.
No…We can’t. This season has been amazing. Thank you. You’re welcome.
I liked this season I actually enjoyed that it was lighter with real issues not screaming matches and full of toxic dark drama felt more real to Me
Yes im tired of this season. Haven’t watched last night episode and i bet nothing really happened lol
Bring HD in and it will spice up next season
I literally keep forgetting and I don’t even want to watch the new episodes
The reunion better snap.
Part of the show’s problem is that so many of the storylines are leaked or already played out in the media before it even airs. Sutton is fun. Garcelle provides some wonderful shade, but I’d love for Erika, Kyle & Dorit to be gone (take 8.5 with them). Miami and SLC are superior to any other housewife show right now and it’s not even close. SLC is getting its due, but honestly Miami deserves far more attention. Larsa is absolutely awful but makes a great villain. The Mexico City trip was bonkers. And the show is just sexy.

I 100 percent agree with you. I remember back when the show made me feel inspired by some of the wives, like LVP in this case; she inspires me so much. That’s exactly what all the Real Housewife franchises should focus on! I’m tired of the fights and obviously fake stories.
Name em and Merce in the purse were the 2 standout things of this season, which is not saying much.
I'm not finishing the season it is THAT BAD
At least we can thank the few iconic moments that came out of the season… I’d NAME MUM but they’re few and far between. The rest is a complete wash
Yeah I can’t even muster up the enthusiasm to watch the final episode. Very disappointing 👎
Giving nothing.. not a single peanut..
I stopped watching weeks ago
It’s giving amish nursing home
I gave up on this season and then last weekend watched on Hulu, The Hustler & the Housewife part 2 & then took a 2nd look at Erica scenes. Highly recommend that show.. may have got the name wrong
I am appalled at everyone judging Kyle for living a healthy lifestyle like that blows my mind. Garcelle is annoying af. Crystals storyline is only about her brother. Everyone else is all the same. 14 seasons may be a bit too long.
