Both seasons consist of the 5 returning housewives from season 3 plus two newbies, why did Rinna and Eileen mesh much better with the cast than Carlton and Joyce? Season 4 is a very hit or miss season with some decent drama but terrible cast chemistry whereas 5 is an all round fantastic season (maybe the best of BH).

What do people make of Brandi turning on Lisa because she thought she was being manipulated? Personally I’m a huge fan of Lisa as a housewife but I can still admit she’s a manipulative puppet master who gets others to do her dirty work. So while I think Brandi’s a train wreck and creates enough problems on her own without Lisa influencing her, I do believe Lisa was manipulating her and she was valid for standing up to this. However, I am confused what made Brandi switch up so quickly. I get the whole Scheana situation but what made Brandi suddenly believe she was being played. I think this is an unpopular opinion in the sub so I’d love to hear others’ opinions.

After season 4 of the show, RHOBH was in a precarious position. They’d lost half the original cast leading to a very weak season 4 where there was no group chemistry and some major miscastings. It looked like the show had lost its way. Then Rinna and Eileen joined and we got one of the best seasons of the show followed by (imo) another two very strong seasons. The show had group chemistry again, Rinna and Eileen were amazing housewives who genuinely added a lot to the show. It seemed like they could carry the show into a new era. Obvs this changed after Eileen left and then Rinna rlly fell off.
