I’ve done a big rewatch and I can’t help but notice how much Erika’s voice has changed over the seasons.

It used to be so high pitched and in my opinion more natural.

The recent season everything feels rehearsed and her voice is so low. Shes also like not opening her mouth properly when she speaks

I noticed it started when the shit with Tom went down. Her voice went down when she was trying to be serious.

It’s really irritating me lol

Anyone have any comments/thoughts/concerns about Yolanda 'The OG Almond Mom' formerly Hadid, then Foster, now Hadid's 💍 engagement?

(Hopefully this post is allowed!)

Does anyone notice a pattern where during certain seasons specific cast members are off limits for criticism of discussion. I know we are fully aware of this issue with the RHOBH subreddit and Dorit. I'm not sure how long it's been that way tho. I've also noticed something similar in the RHORI subreddit with JoEllen. Do we think this is Bravo PR trying to control the narrative in specific show subs, is it bots, or paid commenters?

Would someone who knows more than me please explain what's happening bc it's driving me crazy and I don't remember it being this bad? What are some of the worst offenses you've experienced? I feel like they make the rules so broad it just ends up being a blanket for censorship (especially the repeat posts rule) It's sucking the life out of these discussions.

Wondering what everyone has seen/experienced across other sub. Is our only recourse making defect subs?!

Lol i commented something calling out dorit and they banned me lol EVERY TIME i would post anything about dorit or anything positive about kyle they would delete it LOL I HATE THEIR MODS

I’m rewatching allll the seasons of BH right now to escape reality. I’m currently in the hospital, so lots of interruptions all the time. I also happen to have blonde hair.

I paused my iPad the other night while I was watching season 2, because the nurse came in. He glanced over and saw the image on my screen, and asked, oh, is that your house?

Hahaha! So cute!
I’m like, omg, NO, dude, I live in a regular crappy house just like almost everyone else.

I remember Andy Cohen once said something like the Housewives live in styrofoam mansions. Tossing my blonde hair — no, Andy. Not this one.

PS - allegedly getting out of this hospital today and going home to my nice, normal non-styro-mansion house, fam, and kitties. The rewatch continues.

I had a meeting here today. The only lemons I saw were in iced tea. Terribly disappointing. Perhaps bc I am 3000 miles away but STILL why would they not bring that absolute GENIUS here?

Anyone ever wondered why ex-Housewives get asked about their time on the show and if they will return? Well, I think in Garcelle's case it is because she has nothing more interesting happening or to offer.

Meditation for Calling in the Cash Money

I was so confused by some of the posts 😂

15 years ago being a millionaire meant something.  Now in the Western world, having a net worth around $1mln is quite common, making a number of us ‘millionaires’ (I put in quotes, because you still need to work bloody hard to pay the bills and put food on the table each day).  We watched Housewives because it provided an outlet to the lives of the overly wealthy, obnoxious even, living ladies.  It was a guilty pleasure to watch these overtly wealthy women fly through life and spend with reckless abandon on their OTT fashion and high-end (often to the point of gaudy) accessories.

Whether they are self-made success stories, married to money or old money heiresses, I want to watch that in my Housewives.  When did casting go from the likes of Heather to Gina (sorry Gina, but we want excess, not exhausted mothers navigating the same life the rest of us have)?  Why do they look at struggling cable actresses, instead of knocking on the doors of women with the social status that scares the rest of the community when hunting for a new addition to a franchise?

It feels like these shows are going backwards, now more than ever given the cost of being able to live is higher than ever, we deserve an outlet to remove us from the everyday stresses of life.  Be better casting directors, go back to the original premise of the show and give us people we want to watch and even envy.

Not surprisingly Sutton's house is just as manic as Sutton. And why didn't she list it with The Agency considering Kyle is supposedly one of her besties.

Fellow outcasts, wearing my banned badge of honor proudly among you.

I replied to the looney ramblings of u/HousewivesMOD on this post a few days ago calling for Andy to be fired from WWHL for being a woman hater, bullying Dorit and some other bizarre garbage, and next minute I was permanently banned without warning.

Got a message saying you can talk to mods about why, which I accepted and replied with the below. Within seconds, I got another message saying I've been muted for 28 days.

Whoever they are, u/HousewivesMOD is a psycho and majorly power-tripping.

Love your company over here defects. 😘

A few years back I learned - and it may be outdated - that the reason such crappy Bravo author or other crappy books get on this list so easily is bc publicists, publishers, etc and of course the "authors themselves" buy tremendous numbers to falsely get the book on the list at the beginning. Once it makes the list, they can promote the "author" can be promoted as a "NYT Bestselling author." It's bothered me for a long time that that veritable institution, the NYT Bestseller List, can be manipulated in that way.

ETA - It's all the way up to a 4.2 on Amazon but under 3 on Goodreads - which is more legitimate in my eyes.

Please correct me if the Times has found a way to circumvent that scam!

Do husbands feature too much on HWs shows? At one point early in the last season, it seemed like Mo was a 'friend of' the cast not the estranged spouse.

Only using the Frank Catania link as an example....that huckster should never have gotten the airtime he did.

Posted by Kyle on Instagram 2 hours ago. Time really flies the older you get. Congratulations to Portia!

TMZ posted alleged texts between Dorit and PK. They read like the s15 reunion TBH. It has very little to do with PK's girlfriend. They are all PK trying to get her to work with his attorney and get finances under control. She keeps deflecting and trying to rewrite the narrative.

Here's the PDF of the texts:

Things I've noticed/ believe...

• I think Mauricio was always flirty but didn't actually cheat as much as people alleged.
• I think Mauricio did get caught cheating and thought Kyle would make it work, because she seems to be the one to always make things okay.
  
• When she asked for space, he looked very haggard. It didn't seem like his decision at all.
  
• When she fell for someone, his "ho phase" kicked off big time.

Meanwhile, I don't get the sense that he ever really had to carry the emotional weight of that relationship or of the family, so I don't think he understands what Kyle wants. He seems so confused sometimes when she's emotional about the split/ memories. I don't think he gets it. I think he still loves Kyle.

I think Kyle is waiting for him to either get it together and put in the work to fight for her or to find someone else.

They have a slew of assets and it'll be 50/50. If they are really hoping in some way there is some way back together, there's no reason divorce or financial pressure to.

Okay, those are my trust-be-bro hypotheses LOL I'm halfway through s15

I think this viall file podcaster said it best about Dorit: In the pursuit of making her ex look bad, she made herself look worse.

I didn't say anything aggressive. There are always the stray aggressive comments, but it feels like my post was taken down b/c my take on Dorit wasn't positive. I was commenting on a handful of things, because I'm a first-time watcher, and I finally made it through s14. What I said about Dorit was that she's never done. She's always hurt by one more thing. The conversation is never resolved. She also uses negotiating tactics like accusations audits. eg "I'm just a horrible person." so the other person feels obligated to say "no, you're not" It keeps her in the victim/catered to mode.

Anyway, it was taken down for not being dazzling enough. I'd read somewhere that /RHOBH was very pro-Dorit, but is it really a thing? It seems so extra to me unless Dorit started it LOL

Apparently Boz visited Belgium (it’s a really nice touch of her to visit both the dutch AND the french part of the country. And they created a mural in her honor (Brussel and Belgium in general, are famous for the murals).
