The ladies are welcome to pay for extra outings of they'd like, but every single activity, meal & minute has to be planned & approved by Bravo prior to the trip.

They SAY they host or pay for it themselves so we the viewer never forget how "wealthy" they are, when in actuality, the majority of these women complain about everything (Ramona) yet never pay a single DIME of their own ever.

It's one of the reasons I'm no longer a PA... the out of control entitlement and the complete lack of appreciation & sense of common decency is disgusting and appalling.

There are always 1-2 exceptions on every cast who are down to earth, kind hearted & appreciative (Dorinda, Ashley Darby, Lisa Vanderpump, etc.) but the majority of these women act like they're A list celebrities, they're so delusional.
They talk down to everyone, speak rudely to people who work in the service industry, are very demanding & yet, they want to be treated as if they're Hollywood royalty.

In actuality though, they're really just egocentric women who are terrified of aging, filled with far too much botox, fillers, plastic surgery & enormous egos.

You can't toss a few sentences and end it. Who are the uber beeches? Who is the craziest? Whose husband has 6 side chicks? Who is the biggest phony? Dish!

that "elegant bob" looked like a wig to me and crooked.

I have weaned myself off of Real Housewives except for any show in the DC area but I used to watch quite a few shows. Have to say that this particular cast seems the most insecure of all of them. Most of them continue to put the others down for their insecurity and pretensions while at the same time clearly exhibiting high levels of insecurity and pretension. By the end of the DC Housewives sole season, at least it seemed as if most of the cast had developed some compassion for one another. Not going to happen here.

And I know, compassion is not what we tv viewers want to see so it's pointless for me to complain. But it boggles my mind to realize how much some of these people would disapprove of my IKEA and LL Bean lifestyle while at the same time they're working so desperately hard to look rich and important.

Ok i feel bad for Robin now. Yes we all know Juan is using her because he can't afford to live separately but the other girls need to leave it alone. She was genuinely crying when Monique was quoted as calling her beneath Gieselle. And Ashley really needs to stop making her relationship with Juan something she gets to comment on. I normally think everyone deserves the snark they get but last night I felt like they took it too far. I normally dont mind Monique but she made her self look pretty bad last night.

Yeah, I didn't like her dig at Robyn for being "beneath" Gizelle. Wrong wrong wrong on so many levels.

Ashley is working hard to keep the spotlight off of her marriage. No one has really commented on the age difference, the money she married into or her stepchildren who are the same age as she is. If this show goes on I predict it will be her turn.

Really? I thought it was such a huge improvement from her usual hair mess.

That was all beaten to death in Season 1.

Robyn and Juan are both afraid of being gay. They just don't know how to proceed after decades of living this life. It's really obvious to me, I have no idea why it hasn't come up on this board yet. Tea is all over it@

It has been discussed. No one cared.

I don't think Monique meant it that way per say. It's high school with the pretty popular Queen Bee and her sidekick. When you get the friend alone, she is fine but when she is with the Queen Bee she is different but will insist that's how she really is, she isn't being influenced. You know the Queen Bee would never be close friends with someone she sees as a threat or equally strong personality.

That's very interesting that Monique was saying how Gizelle is the Queen Bee and Robyn is the sidekick, because earlier, Karen said that "the people who bestowed the title of Grande Dame" upon her are the ones who can take the title away. Gizelle said that she was the one who came up with the Grandme Dame moniker. So perhaps Gizelle is the Grande Dame of Potomac, after all?
