No new sightings?
Anyone find it weird we haven’t gotten reports of any sightings recently? Ashley and Sienna were reported two weeks ago being in Bristol but I’m surprised there hasn’t been more with the whole group. Especially since most of the episodes filmed last year seemed like it was during the summer. Is this unusual to anyone else?
Wow I’ve missed so much!!
I took a break from the show right around ep5 and just binged the rest today. I gotta say to me the whole Rulla-Brian-Mistress thing is low key kinda entertaining lol, which I feel badly about cuz I don’t want anybody to go through something like this…
At first I was sorta team JoEllen. In the sense that, I thought Rulla just didn’t know certain things and that JE was just being a friend and letting her know. After she (JE) said that Brian and Rulla got her fired and after hearing that he called her work place I was so disgusted. However, now that I’ve finished the season, it just dawned on me that a real friend would’ve told me all this OFF camera. I also understand Rulla’s position. She’s not in denial about the affair she just wants to deal (or not deal) with it on her own, and I think JE should’ve respected that.
Personally, I’ve liked Rulla since the very beginning, and I LOVE her new nose. I thought she was hot regardless, but I’m glad she did something for herself and I hope she’s happy with it. I was raised in a family that doesn’t believe in washing our dirty laundry in public and I’m also religious, so divorce isn’t an option. That said, she willingly went on this show knowing what they were going through, and this man has humiliated over and over on NATIONAL TV.
My first thought was “I get Rulla, because I know the world and culture she comes from”, I also thought that perhaps she has some residual love for him, separation anxiety or she’s doing it for the kids what have u, idk i never judged her for wanting to stay with him cuz it’s not my place, but he is NUTS.
He’s a terrible liar, he can’t even keep up with his own lies at this point AND then there’s the tracker thing like wtf?! Forget the adultery, I would’ve asked for that annulment solely because he humiliated her time and time again.
Do you guys believe he said those nasty things about Rulla to the mistress?? What’s the general consensus? Cuz I do, and it breaks my heart for her. I feel so bad for her but at the same time, but she hasn’t really delved into why she’s choosing to stay with him and that kinda
makes her look… stupid? Sorry can’t think of another word.
Liz’s Weird Behavior
i’m watching the series currently (and I can’t believe it’s taken me this long, this is gold) but I have been seeing a ton about how Liz has this “dark energy” and you can “see it in her eyes”…am I the only one who just sees it as menopause lol. she was definitely being weird and im not trying to excuse her behavior. That whole conversation with Jo-Ellen and her continuously using “Dolly” definitely was uneasy & I think she was terrible to my girl alicia and others but a lot of women I know who have experienced it has said that they literally do not feel/think/act like themselves. idk what do yall think is the reason for Liz acting so strange? menopause? drugs? a dark soul? maybe all 3? I just wanna hear thoughts:)
I'm In NZ, And first season of RHORI - shoot me!!!
The 🤥 of it all is beyond cringe! 😬 Please tell me it gets better 🙏!?
(Big fan of orange. .) But this...nah!
OC Embroidery Inspired by Alicia
I designed and made this piece for my friend's birthday. I am super proud of how it came out! Which cracker is your favorite?
Jo-Ellen was still manipulating the situation with Liz in the reunion
She's actually so smart because she knows that the audience will judge them insofar as what's been portrayed on screen and ignore all context and nuance. The way she continues to present herself as though she was blindsided by Liz's flipping out on her with her side quips that she had on go, likening Liz to her abusive mother repeatedly to weaponize her childhood trauma, the way she refuses to let Liz get a word in edgewise... Everything about her just tickles me 😭
If only Liz had been more eloquent and properly conveyed to the audience why Jo-Ellen claiming the role of the mediator was so trifling, and how she was purposefully producing for the cameras even in their scenes of falling out.
u/juogin has written the perfect breakdown of why she's so dangerous.
Just finished 1x09 and Jo-Ellen genuinely unnerves me
She's just so disingenuous and calculating that it's actually creepy. The way she starts conflicts (or fans the flames of an already brewing one) behind the scenes or behind another housewife's back then assumes the role of the 'mediator' when it blows up into something bigger is the kind of mind-fuck that I haven't seen a housewife pull since... Phaedra Parks.
I haven't reached the reunion yet but I've seen some tweets in praise of Jo-Ellen by people who did and it's funny to me because I know that it won't last very long. The very behavior that entertained people is going to end up backfiring when she directs it to someone completely undeserving of her wrath.
First time watching the reunion and Rosie & Ashley are SO CUTE!
Like, awwww, they're just 30-something year old babies... I know people love drama and feuds, and I do enjoy them too to a certain extent, but I feel like I'm in the minority when I say I don't like seeing the women have major falling outs. I really love when they have strong, tight-knit friendships. The amount of friendship break-ups on RHOA and RHONY broke my heart
I actually didn’t clock this at the time but it’s hilarious if true lol
Alicia Carmody tells Brian Pontarelli's mistress to 'move on': He chose his family
I personally would be telling Rulla to move on and kick Brian out but that's just me 🤦🏻♀️
Positive Note
One thing I have noticed about these ladies is how polite they seem to be to drivers, staff, etc. I am fairly new to the Housewives of various locations and have only seen all of Miami, halfway through Beverly Hills, and this season of Rhode Island, so maybe there are lots of other housewives seen being respectful to those who assist with their lifestyles but it REALLY stood out to me with the Rhode Island cast. I just wanted to shout that out because as someone in a service industry, I can confirm that a simple thank you goes a long way.
Who would be on your dream cast list for season 7?
I thought it would be fun since RHOLDN is on bravo now for some of those women to come over, so they can be better ingratiated within the bravo cast?

Liz vaping at the reunion
Liz smokes her vape and jo-ellen starts laughing and smiling. Is this directed towards what Rulla is saying or is it at liz vaping? Please help us out in this debate. Thanks
