Looks like I get to start this one. I just watched the first show.

I absolutely cannot tell Taylor, Kim and Camille from one another, yet. Obviously they all have used the same bad plastic surgeon.

They showed a bunch of stuff from the upcoming season at the end. Looks like it is gonna be quite a ride.

Now am watching the after show...Watch what happens.

Oh gosh you are so right about the bad plastic surgery. Taylor is scary looking.

I can't tell any of them apart yet - especially the blondes. But I really liked the show last night. I missed about 3 minutes of it when they were introducing the women. Who is Kathy Hilton's sister (Paris' aunt)?

Kim (Richards) is Kathy Hilton's sister. She is also a sister of Kyle, who is on the show. Kim was a child star who you might remember better this way:

Thanks. I knew she was a child actress (they only mentioned it about 30 times) and Kyle's sister, but I didn't realize both of them were Kathy Hilton's sisters.

I felt bad watching the show knowing that Kelsay and Camille are already split up. His new girlfriend was pregnant, but lost the baby a few weeks ago. How painful must that have been for Camille?

I also felt bad for Kim on the trip to Sacramento and agree with her that Kyle could have done more to help her feel included. She and Taylor obviously weren't hitting it off. She should have had Kim sit next to her, so she could include her more.

I agree that some of these women aren't aging at all well. Stop with the plastic surgery! At some point they start to look like drag queens. Taylor and the Maloof woman (can't remember her first name) look particularly bad. How gross was it when Taylor was getting the filler in her temples? If that's the only body part you're worried about, I'd say you're in pretty good shape. Who even thinks about their temples???

How superfical these women are. Who was the one who had a surrigate carry her two children? She said it was a great way to keep your figure, all I can say is WOW!! I remember Kim from her younger years, boy she has become a very weird person. She seemed almost scared to be around the others. I don't know if I'm going to continue to watch this one, too many fake and uninteresting story lines IMO. I thought the housewives from some of the other shows were shallow and superfical, but these women from BH take the cake.

I have to agree with many of you about the superficiality of these women. The lips are horrible! What are they thinking? I've never seen women look so old that have had plastic surgery.

The only one I find the least bit normal is the gal from England. She is also the most naturally attractive.

Though I think all these women are wacko, I have to say in support of the woman who used a surrogate, I don't think it was due to her vanity. She suffers from IBS, and pregnancy can be very difficult for those with the illness....on top of any other fertility issues she may have.

I didn't know that Keldogg. Now I do feel bad for saying that about her having a surrogate. I don't remember her mentioning anything, but of course I could have missed it.

I remember when Kelsay and Camille were trying to conceive. As I recall, using a surrogate was the only choice they had if they wanted a biological child. I don't fault them one bit for choosing that route if they could afford it and they really wanted a child. I think it was one of the other women who joked that it was a great way to keep your figure. I thought it was pretty insensitive. Fertility issues are no joke to people who desparately want babies.

I don't think Kim is weird. She's coming out of a divorce. She's going thru a lot and she seems shy and insecure with the other women. I thought her sister could have helped her with that situation more than she did.

That was my take on Kim, too, Babyjax. She mentioned that since she was a child-star, she didn't have many friends growing up and it's hard for her to make friends.
I may change my mind (if I continue to watch this one, that is) but I really do not like Kyle. Something about her just grates on my nerves.
Wonder if there's a picture of the Maloof woman before all of her plastic surgery.

I was doing other things while watching the show, so I didn't get to see hear every word. My question is, who needs FOUR NANNIES? I really didn't catch which of the six Beverly Hills housewives had four nannies. That seems like a lot of household help--and I would assume that their only duties involve direct care of the children. The same woman may (and probably does) have domestic help for housekeeping services, a gardener, a pool boy, a chauffeur, etc., ad nauseum!!

Sia, Camille and Kelsey had four nannies; however, they were on rotation so she didn't have all four of them at the same time.

Wow. Thanks, Lexie_girl. I have two children, exactly two years and two weeks apart. I couldn't imagine having a nanny when my kids were little. Now, though? Yeah, send me one! They're 14 and 12 and difficult!

So I am not the only one who could not keep the blondes straight ! Some are not aging well;money obviously cannot buy everything.Kyle's sister complains to much and is self centered.If those two were "big stars" you would not be able to stand them.

That's the whole thing about Beverly Hills, as I see it: the sense of entitlement. I did think it was funny when Camille was talking about having four nannies and said, "Don't judge." She knows she's over the top, but she's rich. If you could afford four nannies, you might have four nannies too.

It's like peeking in at another culture, this show. Makes me feel so white trash.

Each child has a nanny and they rotate shifts so four is not really out of line. We have four caregivers for our elderly parents and they rotate. Nannies are great because you can be the mom and have the relationship and have someone else do the daily grunt work. I never had four at a time but I'm all for nannies and other domestic help, it gives me a lot more time with my kids instead of cleaning and running errands all the time.

I find the BH gals way more superficial than the other franchises, I didn't think that was possible.

There is a difference between someone cleaning the house, running errands and preparing meals and the duties of a nanny. When my kids were small I had help in the cleaning and preparing of meals but never had help with the kids. I fed them, got them to where they needed to be, had snacks for them when they came home from school, etc.

The Kelsey breakup didn't surprise me. Sorry it didn't work out.

Wow...the gal who is Kelsey's ex-wife just couldn't be faker or icky. She's not attractive at all and just weird.

I saw a different side of the sister relationship re Kyle and Kim. I think Kim is the weaker one and Kyle takes advantage of that. I now feel bad for Kim. She should have gotten away from his sister for some years; created her own life and then got back together. It seems Kyle doesn't respect her much. Could be things that have happened in the past, but it made me see why Kim is how she is somewhat.

Kyle is more of a mother than a sister to Kim.

Kim seriously needs some therapy. She's very insecure and feels inferior to other people, takes offense at everything they say. If she had a better opinion of herself she wouldn't be so defensive. And I think she's wrong not to let her daughter go spend time with her dad if that's what she wants to do. The more she tries to hang on, the more her kids will pull away.

Although she's very extravagant, Lisa seems the most normal to me. She also looks like she's allowing herself to age naturally, and as a result she looks far better than those who have obviously had plastic surgery (Adrienne and the other blond whose name I can't remember, the one with the stylist). Standards of beauty are so exaggerated in LA. How can they think that botoxed, pumped up, frozen look is attractive? It's not.

I think your nanny does what you pay her to do and mine cleaned kid's rooms (with them so that they learned how to do it) and ran many kid related errands. I also have someone who cleans my house. I'm not spoiled, I work hard and I'm middle class. I just found that by delegating the work, I could actually have more family time.

I think that Kim and Kyle's mother did a disservice by pointing out Kim's co-dependency to Kyle and charging her with caring for her sister. Kyle filled that role but that didn't allow Kim to be her own person.

Either way.. Kim should not be having this reaction that her 20-year-old daughter wants to go to Houston for the summer. Most parents I know that have 20-year-old children would offer to help them pack and drive them to the airport just to make sure they get on the plane. Kyle is a big girl and can handle herself. I feel sorry for Kim's children.

I agree she should let her daughter go to Houston. I don't know why she's concerned the daughter won't come back; however that is possible.

What's troubling is that Kim still wants her sister to back her up and that's never going to happen. The sooner she realizes that, the better off she'll be.
