We break down whether Gretchen returning is a good thing for her, whether Producers plan to do her dirty like they did Alexis, the expected epic showdown between Tamra and Gretchen and whether this will result in a one season "sorry we used you" Ms. Rossi or whether it will be the ultimate end of Miss Judge as an Orange Holder. In other news, Karen Huger checks out of rehab, fires her legal team, gets her sentence pushed back til later this month and looks ahead to a future which may or may not include RHOP and may or may not include actual jail time. Another new franchise is expected to start filming soon - The Real Housewives of Rhode Island and we share all that we know, who is being cast and what franchise this is expected to replace.

    Erika’s Choice Between Kyle/Dorit, Lisa Barlow’s Dark Secret & RHONY’s New Cast

    Now that we are smack dab in the middle of the RHONY reunion and Production is allegedly looking for new RHIONY cast members, we deep dive whether Brynn Whitfield will be fired and who else from the cast is likely to have to turn in their apple when the dust settles from this season. Kyle and Dorit’s friendship remains fractured but is it forever beyond repair? Who is more to blame and will Erika be able to remain neutral with no battle scares or will she have to, soon, choose a side? Whose side would EJ choose? Almost every friendship has been fractured thanks to Heather Gay and a series of text messages on RHOSLC despite a reunion that attempted to mend some of these fences. Production prepares to announce the new cast of RHOSLC as filming is expected to begin later this month. Finally, last but not least, Spencer and Heidi face certain challenges as all is not as it seems in the hills, no pun intended, as Speidi tries to rebuild their lives more so in the public eye in the past month than they have been over the last decade combined. Psychic Robbin is here to break it all down and tell us what to expect in the next few months for all of our fav Bravolebs and Pop Culture Icons.
