r/realhousewives

Nothing beats Season 1 of Sydney when it comes to the ridiculous amount of Drama, chaos and sheer insanity. Constant fights, the constant portrayal and chase of status all in an insanely beautiful city. All of them fighting with each other over the funniest of reasons as well. The part that makes it so good is that NOTHING was scripted. This was all genuine drama played out and the film crew and producers just watched and allowed it to unfold. Truely a masterpiece. (Also disappointing there is no Sydney flair for this post since the Sydney version is clearly the best).

Question from my husband:

Were any of the housewives named in the epstien files? I know a lot of the ny ladies used to brag about partying with Diddy but haven't seen anything with epstien!

Majority of all of you have gone through a city at least once and many of us do rewatches of cities regularly. I feel that on the rewatch since you already know what is to come, you view the early seasons differently especially season one.

What do you consider phrases or signs that it’s season one of Housewife city? Or phrases or scenes that come back to bite a housewife in the butt later seasons?

I love Shannon's I'm rewatching rhoc and she cracks me up. I haven't seen the newest two seasons yet so hopefully this doesn't bite me in the keister or break off in my colon.

Boz told a WHOPPER at the reunion and nobody is talking about it. (Yes, she did say what she said in the vineyard, but that’s not the lie I’m talking about.) Her course is a a PAID course. I looked it up yesterday. It has tiered pricing. it is not academic, unless you think Harvard covers the art of the side hustle. It’s called the Badass Workshop. I took screenshots in case she takes it down. I am shook that she hasn’t already, because it clearly shows she’s selling personal development about money, very much a less successful version of Amanda’s courses. Amanda clocked her. Boz falls apart at a simple fact check.

It never made sense the way Boz went so hard at Amanda, but now it seems like a calculated plan to promote her courses as authentic and make herself seem like an authority in direct comparison to Amanda. She got her talking about her business and then in the confessionals acted like Amanda was speaking nonsense when she put her on the spot and told her to offer Dorit some advice. Amanda said, the first thing is to decide who you want to be. The first session in Boz’s course is about discovering what kind of badass you are. How is that different?!! She was so vicious towards Amanda who had never done anything to her and only made a comment that maybe it’s a bad idea for Dorit to speak badly about PK on tv. But Boz corrected Amanda every time she spoke, tried to discredit her, wouldn’t participate at her event, and called her a CULT LEADER?! It was just so extreme. It never made sense unless she is using this as a way to build her own brand and establish her authority by challenging a more successful brand.

FYI Harvard releases some lectures and course to the public, so if Boz wanted to release her content as a public service, she could have worked with them to release the content on their more prestigious platform. She didn’t. She doesn’t have a 501-c. There is also no such thing as a teaching course. She made that up.

I had always taken her resume at face value and was super impressed, but she lies so much and with such authority, I’m questioning everything she says. What she said to Andy about her short tenures doesn’t make sense. First she said she comes in to complete a mission. ok. But then what she said about leaving doesn’t add up. It was something about blame. But if you came in to complete a mission and you did a good job, why would there be blame? Why would there be fallout? Why wouldn’t everyone be happy with her and want her to stay? If she had said, she specializes in turning things around or launching products and then moves on to the next challenge, that would make sense. But she referenced there being bad feelings— I don’t remember her exact words, but it was not: mission complete, on to the next one. And it makes me wonder why she would retire from such an impressive career so early to be a reality star and sell wigs? Maybe it wasn’t working out so great for her. Maybe she thought coming on the show would be an excellent platform to launch her own personal development business and then Amanda was added to the cast which complicated Boz’s plan. I never would have questioned this had she not been telling so many lies. But my gut thinks maybe she is really good at giving commanding first impressions, but doesn’t necessarily have the substance to back it up.

She is a marketing genius, but she didn't fix her course website to align with her lie. Why not? The reunion was filmed a month ago. She knew what she said and nobody was looking at her course. I’m just so sick of her lies, and it’s weird because I liked her a lot last year.

Is Rulla really that dumb, or is it blissful ignorance?

First, let’s talk about JoEllen. If this b***h isn’t best-friend goals, I don’t know what is. I’m sorry, but when she looked that dingbat in the eyes and said, “I’ll find out what’s going on,” I believed her. And I believe she actually cares.

Now, should she care? No. 😅

But I love a hard-riding chick, and I bet you never hear her say “I’m a girls’ girl,” because she doesn’t have to. Yes, she’s about as rough as sandpaper on the outside, but that’s just the exterior. She reads people, has high empathy, low tolerance for bullshit and she's 100% THAT CHICK!

Liz? ❤️ Love her. She will not let you slip and slide in nonsense. She didn’t jump to believe the mistress talk, but once she got the timeline, she did not let Brian use JoEllen as a smokescreen. And the way, JoEllen, delivered that timeline 🤌🏾I LOVE THESE GIRLS!

This is women supporting women

But, you’ve got to know when to let the blind mouse run into the wall. Alicia, my favorite little dizzy genius, is good at this. She knows what’s up, but she can see Rulla has chosen to put on blinders, so she’s letting her live in Deluluville. Alicia gives dizzy, head-in-the-clouds energy, but that little Bratz doll is no fool, not even a little bit.

Rulla, booboo … AI text messages because Brian said so? After I stopped laughing, I was a little jealous that I can’t bring myself to that level of blissful ignorance. I’m actually impressed! I’ve never seen someone give “I don’t care what others think” while still clearly caring what others think so effortlessly.

I’m loving this show.

And this is another example of why influencers don’t make good TV. Ashley boo, why are you here? The Ashley/Rosie/Kelsey trio would be better if they swapped Ashley for a local who went to school with Kelsey, maybe a couple years older.

The local connections make this show. I feel like I’m in the cul-de-sac, every time I hear, “my nail girl said,” “my best friend’s son goes to daycare with…” “we have the same hair girl,” “I used to live next to…”, I know the tea is about to be the right temperature and highly sippable.

I’m watching WWHL and I’m officially done with Rulla.

First of all, JoEllen gossiping before they were friends is not the issue. Now that they’re in the same group, the way JoEllen came to her, pulled her aside, and looked her in the eye and talked to her like a grown woman with concern.

If Nene, Gizelle, Ashley Darby, Rinna, Janet, Larsa, Theresa, Ramona, Kenya, Dorinda, Porsha, Phaedra could get their hands on some juice like this?! OMG!!!

They would’ve aired this out in front of everyone at a sit down dinner, thrown it in her face any chance they could get and made it their storyline. Hell Kristen Doute, she would’ve picked up the mistress and brought her to Rulla's job, on camera, right after Rulla said “fake messages”. She's done it before. 😅 Kristin is a gem!

I really can’t stand when someone lies and then acts like what they did is impossible to do. Sorry Brian, that timeline fits, don't blame the edit, it's weak. You’re just sloppy with it. #theboysaliar

JoEllen is not the problem, babygirl. Your tiny weasel husband is.

To preface, I am extremely sensitive and will cry at the drop of a hat if I’m embarrassed, ashamed, afraid, or being confronted. I’m a teacher and a parent- and I don’t cry every day, or even every month- but I can’t imagine hearing such hurtful things and not needing a minute to slow my heart rate.

How tf do they have/quickly build up such thick skin? Is it just the type of personality that can do reality tv?

I’m watching pt 1 of RHOBH reunion and I would have BAWLED if I was looking Kyle in the eye as she said I’m too caught up in my own life going through a massive change and probably some kind of heartache.

Is it pharmaceuticals? How do I get some? /s
