I am so into the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.  I think it is currently the best franchise of the RH series. I used to like New York, but that last reunion show was a huge turn-off. And most of the women on NY are leaving. What is that all about? I’m glad Jill, Kelly, and Cindy are leaving. But I am sad that Alex is going. She was one of my favorites. I wish the Countess was leaving. She just cannot see herself and acknowledge her own shortcomings. Beyotch! Surprised she is still on. I like Orange County too. But that is for another post.

Well, back to BH. Some random thoughts about this season. Camille is so much nicer this year! I really couldn’t stand her last year. But she has mellowed out and seems genuinely caring this year. Hope that is the real Camille. I also like Kyle, Adrienne, and Tyler. I like Lisa too, but I think she has a little bit of the Countess in her. She can’t see her own flaws. I like her husband Ken as well, but I suggest they both get a filter for their mouths. Bottom line though is I like them both very much. Even though Lisa plainly said on camera that she and Tyler weren’t friends, and I thought that was odd. She said it a couple of times, but says she didn’t. What????? And some others don’t remember it either. Hit replay on the DVR and you will see it. That takes me back to what I said about Lisa needing a filter…..But then sometimes, she can be so sweet, and she is very pretty.

Poor Tyler. I really like her. She kind of has that Charlie’s Angels look about her. And depite what I have read elsewhere, I believe her story. I don’t get the thing about Russell. It is so sad, but I am curious as to why he did commit suicide. I think Tyler does seem like she was abused in the marriage. And she was abused earlier in her life, and it is not at all unusual that someone who was abused before will end up in an abusive relationship again. I understood why she went off at Lisa at the tea party.  I can’t believe people were criticizing her about that. They choose to focus on the fact that she shouldn’t have attacked Lisa in Lisa’s own house, when the more appropriate question is why had Lisa said that to begin with and why not just give Tyler a break?

But I have been glued to the series. I know Bravo wasn’t sure how to handle Russell’s death, but I think they are handling it appropriately. At least so far.  Or maybe I am just a voyeur (I admit I am) and I can’t resist watching, even though they should have written him out. But anyway, it is a shame that Russell died. Surely he didn’t do it because of the show. Doesn’t seem like anything could be important enough to take your own life.
