At a loss of where to even begin

I have avoided wearing glasses for years because the glasses I used to wear were non-stop smudgy even though I loved the WP style. It drove me crazy. I can't put it off anymore. I have astigmatism and need to get a pair asap. What should I look for in a lense to combat the smudgyness and do you have any suggestions on where to ordeR?

Nothing Liz did this season seemed that bad to me?

Was sitting here thinking about this season and nothing Liz did seemed like it was that awful to me unless I’m completely misremembering?

I know there was her fight with Jo-Ellen but in hindsight I understand why she lost it bc Jo wouldn’t stop touching her. I also kind of understand her “you were never homeless” take even though she could have explained it a bit more throughly at the time.

Am I just a Liz apologist or did she just fall into the villain trap bc she’s the oldest and she has a no BS attitude.

It's mind-boggling to me no one saw an issue with suggesting...

a Lebanese woman's butt smelling like garlic. especially among an all-white cast. no, i don't think it was meant as a racist jab, but it's still problematic. yikes!

unfortunately i know i'll get downvoted for this bc bravo hates these kind of discussions, but my flabbers are still ghasted.

Angela is still making Shamea pay for that 99' nose comment.

George??? Angela, c'mon. "She was so fine, I HAD to pay her." lmao. We know Shamea didn't sleep with ol' green beard.

Angela is never gonna let Shamea live for those comments she made about her nose and tbh I kind of get it.

AS an aside, I did enjoy the little kiki at the end of the show where eveyone got honest about their divorced. I even enjoyed Porsha Luther Guobadia. Which is saying something. This episode felt nostalgic in a good way.

OMG someone called JoEllen Evil Topanga and now I can't unsee it.

They were spot on and the personalities couldn't be more opposite. I guess they don't call her Jo-HELLen for nothing! Credit to user: Revolution_Bry!

Is bravo doing us dirty?

Or am I overthinking it? I’m super annoyed that they keep casting this series full of brokes, frauds, and women in bankruptcy. This show used to be better than this. This has got to be Kelli’s last season.

What's going on with the other Bravo Subreddits?

(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?!

I can’t wait for to see JoEllen’s second season edit

I think Rulla and her delusions were easy pickings for her this season but my gut tells me something in the buttermilk isn’t clean with this girl.

In all the years I’ve watched housewives and seen affairs revealed I’ve never seen someone get so embedded with a mistress to prove an affair was happening. We all knew the affair was happening and she was the only one who couldn’t move on and let Rulla live in her delusions with her creepy foot physician.

I would have also appreciated it more if JoEllen didn’t pretend she went hard on Rulla in the name of “helping” her and just owned that she wanted to fully embarrass her.

I think we have a good read on most of these women whether we like them or not but I can’t shake the fact that JoEllen is trying to make me believe she is someone she’s not and that’s what I dislike the most.

But if housewives history tells us anything my theory will be confirmed or denied in her 2nd season edit.

I think Kristen's biggest hang up is expecting Luke to feel what she feels...

Has anyone else noticed a pattern where Kristen takes an annoyance and magnifies it to the point where she can't move on and Luke isn't allowed to feel better until she does?

I feel like this pattern plays out a lot in Mexico and maybe scenarios earlier in the season I may have overlooked. It's like she wants Luke to feel bad for not feeling or needing what she needs, which is not how relationships work. They are two completely different people with different needs, reacting to first-time parenting differently.

It's almost to the point where I'm viewing some of the frustrations she's expressed about him this season thru a different lens. Let the record show I said "SOME" not all.

I'm no Kristen hater and I think she has some amazing qualities and it was so heartwarming to hear how good of a friend she has been to Zach.

She obvi loves hard and that can come with some big feelings. This season can't feel great for Kristen, but I feel for Luke too. I'm hoping they can sort it out so their communication issues won't stand in the way of them making it to the finish line.

The Dirt on Dorits House

Okay everyone. I’ve never posted on here before, but I follow RHOBH and live in LA. As it happens, a friend of mine is a real estate investor who actually goes to the real estate auctions in Los Angeles and has all the details on Dorit’s home. I asked and asked, and he finally gave me the details, which I wanted to share with all of you.

Here are the details. The house was purchased on August 2, 2019, for $6,475,000. At this purchase price, it’s very difficult to get financing because banks do not like lending this kind of money on homes that, in a foreclosure scenario, could take close to a year to sell. Typically, they will only lend about 60% of the purchase price.

But Dorit had the right idea. They went to a private lender, who lent them $4,208,750 on a first mortgage and $323,750 on a second mortgage (presumably at a much higher rate, in what’s called a “piggyback” transaction). The borrowers brought $1,942,500 to the closing table, plus closing costs—no small sum.

On 12/22/2021, they went to a mortgage broker, who got them an alternative mortgage with Chase. The new loan was for $5,196,750, with approximately $664,250 in new principal (cash out). This paid off their original first and second mortgages.

Two months later, on February 16, 2022, they went to another private lender and took out a very high-interest, hard money second mortgage for $750,000 in cash out.

This means that, of their original down payment of $1,942,500, they had refinanced about $1.4 million back out of the house. Clearly, this was about turning the house into a leveraged asset rather than leaving equity in it.

The problems started in February 2024, when Chase began the title work to foreclose on the house and actually filed a foreclosure Notice of Default in October 2024 for $298,556. The account was reinstated in December 2024, but the problems didn’t stop.

Chase began working on the foreclosure process again in September 2025 and issued a new Notice of Default on December 31, 2025, for $294,321 in past-due payments. This is still not cured as of today.

Of interest, the county also placed some sort of lien against the house for unpaid property taxes, which are about $85,329 a year and are now being advanced by Chase, according to the Notice of Default.

The foreclosure you guys all know about, though, is not even the Chase loan.

It’s her private money second mortgage. That loan has been in default since at least 2025, if not earlier. They are foreclosing because they have not received payments on their $750,000 second loan. They are now owed $898,279, and that does not even include the past two months of interest.

So, what is going on at the auction? Is this the hottest property at the sale?

Not even close.

The real truth: the house is almost worthless. Let’s look at the math.

Dorit owes approximately $5.5 million to Chase, not including late fees and property taxes that Chase has paid on her behalf.

She also has a federal tax lien that needs to be paid off, $90,269.

The second mortgage balance is $898,279.

That brings you to $6,488,548.

To sell even a $6.4 million house, you’d also have seller closing costs of approximately $384,000. This does not even include any mansion tax that may apply in parts of LA, which I’m not going to pretend to fully calculate here.

The fact of the matter is this:

Her house is completely underwater. It’s practically worthless in this situation. No one is buying it at the auction. No one has any real interest in it at the auction. And likely, the people who lent $750,000 on this deal are not going to recover most of their money especially after a six-month eviction process and paying off the $5.5 million owed to Chase.

Will Sutton bail her out? I doubt it.

At this point… I think I’d be very concerned if I were in that situation.

Final thing, so why does the sale keep getting delayed?

The answer is simple: no one wants the house. The trustee and auctioneer know that, and they’ve probably told their client to try to work something out with the family and collect something now, instead of foreclosing and guaranteeing a loss.

We’ll see what happens. I’ll post an update if it actually gets sold or postponed again, tomorrow.

If anyone has any questions, ask away, I’ll get more details.

Anyone else notice Rosie waited until no one else was around to completely lose her ish?

Looking at the cast dynamics I think Rosie feels (and maybe rightly so) that she is low hanging fruit among the cast. I’m not saying she set a trap for Kelsey bc she has been cruising to be told off for a while now, but it did feel slightly disproportional to the actual situation at the time and the timing was telling for me.

I think she has to wait until Kelsey was alone bc everyone would have had Kelsey’s back otherwise. It’s also why she ran to Jo-Ellen afterwards. They both seem weirdly jealous of one another, which is odd to say, bc Kelsey’s life seems very odd, but Rosie doesn’t seem that into her husband or happy with what she has either.

In the end I think Kelsey’s biggest issue is being kind of annoying and Rosie’s is being kind of boring. But it does seem like Rosie craves being able to float in the kind of social circles Kelsey does.

I’m looking forward to the housing insecure, not homeless blow-up next week bc Jo-Ellen gives me carnie kid energy à la LeeAnn Locken and that’s saying something when comparing her to Liz. IYKYK

What’s your experience growing Kelgai Ann?

I’ve had her in a raised bed for about a month. slow growth and a bit of a process. Fertilized last week but wondering if I should move her to a pot where she gets slightly less afternoon sun. Has anyone grown this variety before? What are you tips and what did you learn?
