i'll flat out say it. i have no shame! i fucking loved lisa and kyle's friendship. they were so cute and goofy together and i truly miss those days of bh. i didn't enjoy brandi and lisa's friendship bc it was more like she was mothering her, which was very sweet, but there was....something off about that friendship. i'm glad it's over ngl...

also kyle was a bit more grounded when she was bffs with lisa and i miss that bc i lowkey (have only said it on here a few times) love kyle. yes i'm swine and i need to check my priorities but i can't help it

when tamra and vicki were friends oh my god they M A D E the seasons. the two of them together as true best friends was just omfg i looooved it. AND THEN FUCKING BROOKS. brooks is the reason they're no longer friends, and i have no evidence that suggests otherwise. vicki lost her friends and her children because she chose a man over her family. it's very sad. but those two, when they were friends, they were so so so hilarious to watch. it's so sad to see throughout the seasons (aka when brooks infested his way into vicki's life) the disintegration of their friendship.

i'm also ngl, i miss alexis on the show. she was a fucking idiot with a controlling husband but that last season she was on - which i just rewatched - she seemed like a whole new person and i really actually enjoyed her screen time. so yea, i miss her on the show. :/ tamra and gretchen being friends was just weird. the bracelet thing was so sweet of them both to do, but idk.... it was just weird.

omg i have so many feelings re: hw friendships! i mainly love early seasons kyle/lisa and tamra/vicki

wait wait i forgot to mention jill and bethenny ugh they were the greatest team. that's why im so fucking CONFUSED as to what the fuck happened. they were so hilarious together and were just really a great team and you can tell they genuinely cared about each other. i'm on ep 5 of my rhony rewatch and it's already difficult to see what's going on between them.

I floved Vicki/Tamras mean girl relationship, they were the epitome of fun. Though I was flabbergasted by Vicki getting pissed at Tamra for her thoughts on her relationship with Brooks when Vicki was ALL UP IN Tamras marriage! And she hated on Gretchen/Slade for the same exact thing she and Brooks are doing.

Which brings me to my own secret shame.....I liked Gretchen and I would love for her to come back and give it to Vicki.

I probably loved Kyle/Lisa but my memory is very foggy when it comes to my original feelings for them. Though I do remember being sad that Lisa/Cedric collapsed.

I also loved Bethenny/Jill together and wish that they had patched things up after S3. At least they are cordial with one another now.

exactly. tamra is... alright, i'll just say she's not a nice person. overall, she's not a nice person. but i do think she truly cares about vicki bc they have (had? ugh) been friends and GOOD friends at that, for a very long time. so it's BULLSHIT that vicki virtually cut tamra out of her life because tamra was saying "i don't think he's good for you. he's telling you what to do, what to say, how to walk, talk, etc" and it's ALL THE SAME THINGS that vicki was saying to tamra when tamra was married to simon! it's... oh my god. yes, simon was abusive, and i am so happy for tamra for getting out of that marraige, starting her own business, but it's disgusting the way vicki has been treating tamra these last few seasons. tamra is only doing what vicki was doing before tamra divorced simon 😢 i hate seeing their friendship turn into nothing bc they were so much fun to watch and they genuinely cared for each other.

omg i legit just wrote a goddamn essay on a reality tv friendship

Kyle & Lisa >>>> Lisa & Brandi, it is no lie! They just are cute and have fun without it inevitably being super negative, which was always the foundation for Brandi & Lisa.

Tamra & Vicki were great also, but Vicki with Brooks has been awful all around. I can't like her with him, she & he are terrible.

brooks turned icki vicki into an entirely different person. it's very, very sad to see. she's so fucking manipulated by him JUST AS TAMRA WAS WITH SIMON that she cannot trust even her best friends AND HER OWN DAUGHTER telling her "he's shady. he's using you" etc etc. it's very sad. she needs a man in her life so badly that she is settling for this lowlife piece of shit.
