Craig and Paige’s breakup gets uglier by the week. From podcast lies to WWHL pleas to denials, blame and everyone being a victim, this Summer House, Southern Charm cross over drama is better than anything happening on either show at the moment. Dorit walks back a lot of what she has said about PK over the past few weeks. Ashley Darby enters the Love Hotel with Lu, Shannon Beador and Gizelle even though she had a boyfriend, as featured this season on RHOP, the whole time. Hmm.

Now that we are smack dab in the middle of the RHONY reunion and Production is allegedly looking for new RHIONY cast members, we deep dive whether Brynn Whitfield will be fired and who else from the cast is likely to have to turn in their apple when the dust settles from this season. Kyle and Dorit’s friendship remains fractured but is it forever beyond repair? Who is more to blame and will Erika be able to remain neutral with no battle scares or will she have to, soon, choose a side? Whose side would EJ choose? Almost every friendship has been fractured thanks to Heather Gay and a series of text messages on RHOSLC despite a reunion that attempted to mend some of these fences. Production prepares to announce the new cast of RHOSLC as filming is expected to begin later this month. Finally, last but not least, Spencer and Heidi face certain challenges as all is not as it seems in the hills, no pun intended, as Speidi tries to rebuild their lives more so in the public eye in the past month than they have been over the last decade combined.

Gretchen Rossi is returning for The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 19. First we deal with the controversy that is already surrounding her return - whether she was offered and turned down a full time roll as she allegedly claims or was she only offered a friend role as a “secret” production source claims. Next we share all of our thoughts in Gretchen’s return and warn her what she should beware of. Then we analyze whether Gretchen is being brought back as a pawn Alexis Bellino style or to once and for all take out the current longest running housewife Tamra “TamRat” Judge. We break down whether the audience really wants to see the demise of Miss Judge or whether they love to hate her a la Ramona The Singer Stinger. We discuss the rest of the cast’s current relationship to Gretchen, their like or dislike of Tamra and why RHOC Season 19 is set to be one of the best in Orange Country history. Finally, in other news, Jeff Lewis has a stern warning for Bravo, opens up about why Flipping Out was really cancelled way back when and shares an update on his new show which may or may not ever see the light of day. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Season 14, Episode 9. Beachy Keen, but is it? Kyle lies. Thank you Boz for stating the obvious and Erika too for declaring that she, and we, are possibly over this text from Kyle to PK. Dorit questions who the fu$k she has been married to, reveals PK’s sponsor broke up with her and declares, if PK wants a war, a war he shall get. Kyle gathers Sutton, Garcelle and EJ for allies before heading to Garcelle’s beach house for the weekend, Sutton holds Kyle’s feet to the fire, Erika reminds us she is a girls girl and Kyle and Dorit make amends, sort of, for now. The RHOBH midseason trailer has exploded onto our screens with a bang - Mo apologizes to Kyle for hurting her, PK tries to divorce Dorit before 10 years to avoid splitting assets, Sutton gets kicked out of Dorit’s house for calling her a bit$h, Kathy walks the runway, Sutton’s Mom tells off Garcelle and so much more as we wait in anticipation for the second half of the season.
