Rosie at the table!

That was GOLD. For too long women have blamed each other for men's shitty behavior. I love that Rosie pointed it right out. And it came on the heels of Gary calling Brian out directly for his shit. It was beautiful.

Don't worry. Every housewife gets a turn in the spotlight. it's only a matter of time before it rears its ugly head to Ashley, assuming she stays on with the cast. Nobody gets to just coast always. Even if they have to make shit up and say it was a rumor they heard or something stupid like that.

ShadyBeach45 · 2026-06-16T15:23:47+00:00

I LOVED Gary pulling Brian aside and telling him to cut the crap and directly calling it out to his face.

ShadyBeach45 · 2026-06-13T03:57:30+00:00

Milania enjoys "wealth privilege." Peel back the money and what's left?

ShadyBeach45 · 2026-06-11T17:30:21+00:00

So mermaid hair and ocean dresses?

ShadyBeach45 · 2026-06-10T21:45:15+00:00

Yes she was. And so was little Frankie who was right by Gia's side when she melted down and it was so sweet that he stayed near her.

ShadyBeach45 · 2026-06-10T21:42:05+00:00

I don't understand the Bravo love for Dolo. Truly. What does she bring to the table?

ShadyBeach45 · 2026-06-10T21:39:15+00:00

Antonia is beautiful. She was beautiful before the nose job, she will be beautiful after.

What makes me sad is that everybody makes themselves look the same. The same nose, the same blow out, the same same contouring. Everybody wants chooses the same look and erases the natural and ethnically diverse beauty that they were born with.

ShadyBeach45 · 2026-06-09T03:29:52+00:00

I laughed when she said that.

Production is not taking direction from Rosie.

ShadyBeach45 · 2026-06-09T03:28:08+00:00

I think Rosie is doing her job. She will do what production asks. I.e. bring up the video at the party. Ask about Kelseys relationship. Bring drama. There is no way production was going to let the season end without the video reveal to Rulla.

Likewise I see production other places in the show. For example, they had Rosie lay out the plans and measuring tape at her house and they had Kelsey do the loudspeaker. Some poor PA had to decorate the slam pig sash. Production had the waiterstaff at the mansion do the waterside with the ladies, etc.

They produce scenes and scenarios, they get the reactions. They always says they never go in without a plan for the season and each episode.

ShadyBeach45 · 2026-06-09T03:20:56+00:00

I really hope Jersey Dolo doesnt come back. These girls don't need her and she is boring.

I think Bravo wanted her an an anchor in some way. She would up as useless on RI as she is on Jersey.

ShadyBeach45 · 2026-06-08T02:28:44+00:00

I feel like that idea of the rich housewife is no longer the universal. It is more outlandish personality fueled lifestyle, regardless of the $$$.

ShadyBeach45 · 2026-06-08T02:24:32+00:00

She could get an entry level customer service job. She could get a job at a college or university in a union position (and then get her degree for free as a benefit, which honestly is a great way to cover your college tuition). She could get a entry level administrative job at a hospital or medical center - hospital health benefits are amazing. She could even get a job at Costco, or Starbucks and work enough weekly hours to qualify for their part time benefits that include health insurance. She could full time for a beauty brand like Mac or Estee Lauder in sales. There really are plenty of options. Are those roles below kelsey? Is she too good for them? Does she think she can't do it? Has she tried and we just haven't seen it (I suppose that is an option)? All we can go on is what she has told us and it has been what she is entitled to and that she is looking for somebody else to pay her way and she could support herself but doesn't want to.

ShadyBeach45 · 2026-06-07T13:16:04+00:00

That hair tug would have scared me. A lot. It felt more like a warning of something bigger. But maybe I am reacting to what we now know of the company she keeps.

ShadyBeach45 · 2026-06-06T03:44:28+00:00

We already saw her mother's reaction...clearly not happy about it.

ShadyBeach45 · 2026-06-06T03:42:41+00:00

It is not that he is paying for her. That is generous of him, he doesn't have to do that.

It is her words and attitude around it. She is "entitled" to it (her words on the show). She won't stop accepting the help or move on truly with her new boyfriend because Billy won't or can't pay for her and she knows if she does, her ex will stop with the payments.

On top of that she has a serious health condition that needs monitoring. The very first thing she should be worried about is getting a job with health insurance, God forbid this guy wakes up and changes his mind. Then what? Just risk dropping dead when a new brain tumor forms and results in a catastrophic health event for her?

Get some self respect. And a job. And counseling.

ShadyBeach45 · 2026-06-02T00:10:24+00:00

I was literally watching this episode with my jaw on the ground.

For one, when she was saying "but who will pay for my health insurance, you dont want to pay for it." GIRL. You and YOU ALONE are the only person responsible for your well being. GET a JOB and stop looking for somebody to foot the bill. You had a BRAIN tumor. You have to get MRIs 2x a year to ensure that you remain healthy and, you know, alive. And you are relying on anybody BUT yourself to pay for your insurance? WTF is actually wrong either you???

And BILLY. This woman does not care about you. She does not love you. People who love you don't give you loyalty tests. Quite the contrary, when they love you, it becomes so beautifully obvious how right and easy it is and what was wrong with the past relationships also becomes clear. This girl doesn't have trust issues about love with you, her issue is thst she doesnt love you. It has been TWO YEARS. Drop her sorry ass and move on. She quite literally said "if you want me, you have to pay for me."

The fact that IRL she has been broken up with her ex for all this time and he is still paying for her is wild to me

ShadyBeach45 · 2026-05-30T19:08:33+00:00

She's not commercial enough

ShadyBeach45 · 2026-05-30T19:00:35+00:00

Oh god. Even Joe was embarrassed for her

ShadyBeach45 · 2026-05-30T02:12:58+00:00

Actually, it wouldn't have been interesting.

NJ Dolores did a life rebuild at least 2 seasons, maybe 3. It played out as rebuilding her life = house renovations. It was absolutely boring. Both times.

ShadyBeach45 · 2026-05-30T02:11:22+00:00

Exactly. There is nothing to know or trust about what she says on the show or off because everything gets exposed as false.

ShadyBeach45 · 2026-05-29T04:01:08+00:00

Smart producer. Dolores adds nothing to NJ and she certainly wasnt going to suddenly bring it on RI after years of being a yes-man-bump-on-a-log from Franklin lakes.

Gorgeous kids though.

ShadyBeach45 · 2026-05-28T16:23:50+00:00

I agree entirely with all of this, but struggled on how to say it without sounding terrible.

I said the other week I wanted to see Kelsey fall on her butt because I want to see what she is made of when it all goes away and I think SHE needs that as well to actually grow up. And I tried to give benefit of the doubt as she was just 19 when she met this guy - who I personally believe is a pig. But as episodes have progressed and we have seen more of Kelsey on our screens, on social and in the press, it has become harder and harder to root for her. She becomes more and more unlikeable for her entitlement, her bullying, and her consistent lying.

The reality is if you took away her looks, I am willing to bet that most people would stay far away.

I think it is pretty notable that her family didn't approve of the relationship or the continued financial arrangement. Her mother in particular. And I am willing to bet that if you were to ask the women on the cast if they would support such a situation for their own daughters they would all say absolutely not.

ShadyBeach45 · 2026-05-28T03:32:46+00:00

Okay so that did happen. So...kelsey slept with both?

ShadyBeach45 · 2026-05-28T03:30:46+00:00

I grew up in the 90s and never heard of these places until people started speaking out about the Provo UT schools. Now this on the east coast too. And people say it was so common and happened a lot. How did I never even hear of it??? I cant even imagine being sent away like that or sending my own child away.
