P.S. So glad you're back for another season. If you weren't coming back, I am not too sure I would be either.
You and Lisa....witty, good humoured and actually look like fun.

Absolutely adore you! I am surprised you didn't swing your crutch across kyle's head when they were carrying on like a bunch of spoilt elementary school girls. I don't know if I would have held off as long as you did, good job.

Don't let them get a hold of you. I think it comes down to jealousy. Sad at that age, but true. You're divine.Absolutely divine in every possible way.

Stay true.

Brandi,
I absolutely adore you! You are such a wonderful addition to the program and really hope that Bravo adds you permanently. You have a great sense of humour and I'm surprised that some of the other women stooped so low as to take you literally to try and use your humour against you. Luckily, the viewers have brains and can see through the bitchy behaviour. As for Dana, I think she should have spent the 25K on liposuction, so she could fit into your size bikini and she would perhaps feel less jealous. You don't come across as slutty and Kyle is jaded (probably had a few sips of her sisters cool-aid.) You are a very rare type of woman who can pull off wearing such small things, and power to you! I hope you find love and great friendship (esp in Lisa). The other women like Taylor and Kyle deserve each other as they are disingenuous wannabes who never made it to the bigtime. Come back next season!!

I cannot believe how much abuse Taylor is getting in here, you women really are mean to each other! I think she has handled a horrific situation the best she could. U are just trailertrash. Looking forward to seeing u f*** up ur life even more next season

Hey Brandi,

CONGRATS!!!! I am so glad it's official that you are a house wife, You and Lisa bring so much humor and realness to the cast. Time to think of a new catch phrase so I hope they post this... It's far too many characters for twitter. Catch phrases:
Brandi "I'm a single housewife- Why make one man miserable when u can make so many men happy?"
OR - "let the haters hate they only trip themselves up, Kyle tripped so much she is on my crutches this season"
Kyle - "Others have class but I have claws and I am not afraid to use them. Even with my crutches"
Lisa - "Women who are cheekier and pinker are often met with hostility and jealousy"
Adrienne – "I don’t need to sell stories to the press, I have my chef do it ".
Giggy - I like it – Ruff , But... I avoid mean chefs - he's too Ruff
Taylor - "I still have my Voice and I am not afraid to bash Brandi every chance I get and OK sometimes Lisa. Oh... and I empower women".
Kim- (Take number 35) "I'm um a going to open a restaurant next to SUR and call It SLUR" "Ha Ha Ha"
Yolanda – "I am not just another pretty face, I also married well "

All in fun... I predict a great season!

Hey Brandi,

Glad to see that you're coming back to face down your demons, so to speak ;)

I was sorry to see Camille go, but glad to see the truth finally come out about the "Child-Star Bully Twins" before she left :)

I don't watch a lot of Reality TV, for exactly that reason - it glorifies bullying, alliance-making and backstabbing, and then we wonder why bullying is a growing epidemic in this country, in our schools and workplaces.

I began watching this show last year, just to see how the other half lived, but stopped watching for a bit because I couldn't believe that Kyle got away with her Mean Girl stuff, even last year, with Camille.

I'm not condoning your handling of it, but that's what bullying creates - pick at someone until they blow, then cry wolf and play the victim, right?

And as much as they try to find reasons to justify their treatment of you (in reverse?), they can't - and anyone with a brain can see that - it was just because you were new, attractive and they're terrified you'll take the spotlight away from them ;)

You're situation and Camille's validated my own. No, I didn't threaten to kill anyone in the heat of the moment or host a party and bully back, but I feel ya just the same, and unfortunately at the time, blamed myself.

Sure, you've got issues - but so do they. Don't worry, those of us with a brain can see it - objectively and fairly.

Keep on putting the "real" in Reality TV.

Oh, and one more thing - Camille was able to rise above and give the benefit of the doubt to them where she could this year - think about carrying on that legacy for her, eh?

Don't let Hollywood steal your joy,

~ Peace

I don't know who your ex-husband is. I asked my kids, and they thought he might have been in "some show". Obviously, not a household name. Sorry, I know you say he's kinda' D-list, and I'd have to agree.
His wife? I remember her being a big stand out at, like, thirteen for singing country hits, but...not my thing. I've seen her in the Enquirer and my thoughts were, "Hope she can still sing, she sure ain't going to make it on her looks."
The article went on to say that everyone she's ever known has been, basically, freeloading off of her. They thought her star would continue to rise, not dead end in bad Lifetime movies.
Your hubby hitched his star to a flailing starlet. She'll pop out one kid, just to prove a point, and divorce him in 2014. I'd lay odds on it.

Brandi,
I think that you, and your potty mouth, are great!
You showed such strength to stand up to those bullies. A great role model. Well done!
They will get what they deserve, all bullies are cowards!!

Glad you are on the show, clean up the potty mouth just a little and keep doing everything else you do now, I am sure the HW think it's "their" show but only as long as the fans want them. It is now YOUR show too and judging from the comments the others should be worried.

Easily the best on the show. You've got a good, fun attitude, and it's too bad these ladies don't get it! I guess you're not really a 'housewife', but who cares. You're gorgeous and hilarious, these ladies need to get over themselves. You could be snotty and full of yourself but you don't come across that way. You just try to have a good time and be positive, and that's awesome. Just don't mix your goodies (booze and pills). lol Hope you are back next season.

Brandi,

I appreciate your candidness in the show, but can you tone down the intensity of some of the phrases and words you use? It's just not something a pretty woman like you should say.

I think the audience will appreciate your candidness without the expletive language that borders on vulgar. Plus you have little kids who emulate what you say and do.

I know you have a great body, but must you really flaunt that much skin? Beverly Hills image is supposed to be classy, refined, it seems you're the odd ball in the cast which is refreshing but can you clean it up some?

AnnaBelle

Seriously, your claim to fame is in your husband leaving you for someone that put out a couple of (really bad) records? Can’t figure out what it is that you do exactly.

I love your honesty and humor! we can tell u are an honest person with good morals! Clean up Beverly hills girl! Kyle will never like you she is jealous of you and will try to apologize you there wont be tension but ur a smart gal so do what you do ! love u .stay with this character ur great!

Brandi!! You are a breath of fresh air! We commend you on standing up for yourself and your babies after Kyle started talking trash about bed wetting or something. I mean how low can you go to pick on a child to hurt the mother! She can be so cruel and ugly. And Kim is just a sick nut job! Non of us can take her seriously anyways. And we all see her blame EVERYONE for her problems other then herself. And to the comment above, regarding Brandi to just leave Kim alone? Uh Hello?! Brandi never attacked Kim that Kim didnt insite on her own. The women had it coming and if Kim was getting after anyone of us including you miss high horse, you woulda defended yourself too! Making excuses for that womens behaviour is enabling her and its nice to see Brandi won't put up with it!

We also get your sense of humor and your jokes lol. Like Lisa's it enhances the show. Hope to see you back next season. You make it fun for the younger crowd to watch too! All the best Brandi to you and your Boys! :)

Hej Brandi! I think you are great! Kyle and Kim are horrible people who do not have any feelings. I myself am a Swedish mother of four who do not understand what it does to children urinating on the grass. Seriously you can not argue about let children be children! I think you seem to be an honest and echo girl who says what you tycker.Du is absolutely wonderful and proceed as you did. I can not understand how adults can behave so immature and they can be so mean to her friends. It's really low point in several of the other wives. Hope it will display more programs here in Sweden now, get sadly watching wives from Atlanta and it's not as good as your show. Sincerely, Nina

You add some much needed honesty to this show. SOMEone needs to call Taylor and Kim on their mean behavior! You go girl!

Brandi, please don’t say “kitty-cat” again. It’s not funny or cute. It’s not gonna “brand”. It’s stupid. Other than that, good luck with these ... uh ... girls!

I am so glad they have you on the show an you need to be a regular. I think it is time to make some cast changes.(I hope and pray!!!!)
You, Lisa and Camille are awesome and make the show. Without you three I would have stopped watching.
Kim...hmmm. She has been useless and brings nothing to the show. Sick of the her and Kyle's drama. Glad she is taking steps to improve her life, but maybe she should do this in private. I have never liked scene with her in them and normally fast forward......not good as an adult on tv.
Kyle, well she is just a mean hearted, nasty, jealous woman who should also not be on the show. One cannot continue to do horrible things and behave gross and then say that is not who they are. No one is buying it anymore. She needs to go off with her sister. She is just an ugly person and I do not know why Bravo would keep her.
Adrienne, I liked her last year and did not this year. What happened. She became a petty, jealous and gossipy lady. I did not expect that from her, thought she had more class and common sense than that. She better shape up next year.
TAYLOR...don't know where to start. Her tv stints need to end. I, like kennedy grew up in an abusive home and do understand the mentality of an abused woman, but I have no respect for her. Any woman who would rather have money than protect her daughter i just dispicable! Broavo should not allow her to stay on the show and condone her behavior. Now she is giving advice and chiming in on people who are none of her business. Can't take it! My mom was Taylor in some ways and if you weigh you money against your child and money wins....shame on you. She is so full of it, I cannot take it and I hope her minute in the spotlight ends soon because what she does not realize is she is NO ROLE MODEL! (not to her child or the wemon she tells how they can have a life like she does at the shelter....really! Come back to reality Taylor! I pity you and if Brovo has any responsibility at all they will dump her.

Brandi, you did not do anything wrong... Kyle and Kim purposely made you feel left out and u had to sit there listening to Kim say "i dont want her on my team" while Kyle laughed with her as Kim said that out loud in your presence. They started it. They acted like they were the mean girls in high school who always bully people. Bullying is not ok in school and it is not ok over the internet and its not ok in the real world. It is never ok. ur reaction to them was a defense mechanism coz they were making u feel uncomfortable and they were stepping on ur ego. I just wanted to say that i feel you and i understand you so dont feel that its ur fault (even if the girls on the show were saying its ur fault that the drama commenced that night) because the world who watched the show are definitely on ur side with this one. Shame on Kyle. I really really liked her in the first season. She really disappointed me in the second season. She was such a bully and I hate bullys. From the moment u were introduced in Kyle's charity, she was already judging u and talking behind ur back. She never gave u a chance from the very beginning. and in Addriene's childrens party, she was so aloof to you. Typical bully. With Kim im not surprised... she was always a wreck even in the first season.

By the way, I think that Brandi already doesn't care if Adrienne thinks that she cares more about what Lisa thinks, & Brandi is becoming better friends with Lisa, if the reunion show was for real!

KatieLeigh, are you kidding me? Let Taylor heal? How about she lets Russel'sl
other children and parents heal. I usually have enormous sympathy for anyone going through ANYTHING, but after Taylor wrote that book immediately, she showed the world what she is-greedy, cruel, manipulative and heartless. She may be packaged in a pretty package, but what's underneath is completely different. How dare you say don't be destructive regarding Taylor. How dare you KatieLeigh? Taylor has been hugely destructive to many people incluiding little children and at the end of the day, all that matters is that she gets to stay in Beverly Hills and on this show. What is wrong with you attacking Brandi for defending herself? What, because Taylor's husband killed himself, no one can criticize her, but she can write whatever she wants about a man who still has children alive? - mind you she wrote all of their private, behind the door, circumstances between himself and her that I'm sure he never thought his WIFE, his partner would spill to the nation for money. She is absolutely emotionally ruthless and Russell's family will never be able to rest in peace with their son because of her. All for money and attention....How dare you say she's hands off any criticism after all she has done....Unforgiveable. She needs to leave this show--she went too far, even for reality TV.

First off, I am extremely proud and have much respect for Taylor's ability to reach past the horrible events in her life and share her experience with the world. As a woman previously involved in a relationship involving domestic abuse, I would have never had the courage to share that humiliation with the world. It's not what happens in life that matters, but how you deal with it. Taylor could be sitting in a dark room, feeling sorry for herself, playing the victim and crying all day long. However, she is not. She is turning her situation into something positive that can help other women, like me. I think it is a positive way to make her own income and be independent. You should commend her on her strength and intelligence. Kim has a disease and throughout the season has been a broken person. I don't think she should be blaming you for her actions. However, you and Kim are not on an even playing field and she has not had your stability and self confidence. Leave her alone and let her heal. She is trying to get help and get better, admitting she hasn't been living her life the way she should. Make a point to be supportive and if you can't be that, don't be destructive. Adrienne and Lisa should be capable of fixing their own relationship. Telling Adrienne to apologize to Lisa might make Adrienne feel like you are taking Lisa's side and telling Adrienne she is wrong. They need to sit down alone and discuss their own issues without a third party giving input. You will only make Adrienne feel singled out and ganged up on against Lisa and nothing will end up resolved and you might just further damage your relationship with Adrienne.

Heeeyy, do-rom 18, Brandi had repeated what Russell told her. Upon which Taylor had to brandish her own form of punishment by trying to join the crowd & embarass Brandi w/ the tire slashing incident. Russell taught his eager student well. Backfire! The mean girls immediately started trashing the younger prettier hw w/ their unique grade of bullying (and by grade i'm guessing 8th) b4 game night could even get under way. Then she reacted. Please. We can all recognize a bully. Even in the written word.
I'm extremely disappointed kyle is coming back. As far as kim's desire to come back, i hope bravo & her family recognizes she's not up to it. 2 seasons = 2 stints in rehab. I dont think any of us wants to see a 3peat.What can we say about taylor. She should take this time to consider caring her daughter thru the tremendous loss she must be feeling, Say what you want about Russell, he was still her daddy. But we kinda know fame & money are probably more important to her. Adrienne was my fave last year. This year idk what happened to her. She cant laugh at herself at all. She also failed to impress many other viewers.The fans have spoken loudly and clearly. Why they would bring back anyone on the right couch is beyond me.
I will tune in next year. Lisa, Brandi & i hope Camille are the geese that lay the golden eggs. The rest of the gaggle lay what geese are good at laying down or dropping on our windshields!

Brandi,

I am just sick over the way Kim and Kyle treat you. It is disgraceful and you don't deserve it. They totally attacked you and tore you up like a pack of rabid wolves. It was sick and is unbelievable that they continue to do it. It makes them look really desperate and trashy, and they aren't worth your time. Stand your ground and don't let them try to play the queen bees. They are the kind of women who haven't done anything with their lives (except get married and have kids) and so they get stuck in high-school patterns. You are better than that.

I still can't believe Kim tried to blame you for the embarrassment her family felt after the show. What in the world? She needs to look in the mirror and stop trying to blame you for a situation she created herself.

Good luck!

"Kim didn't do any such thing. She took responsibility for her problems and behaviour". I quoted this part from StacyBan.

Um, not true! If Kim is really doing the 12 step program one of them says to tell people that you had conflicts with that you're sorry and to forgive, she forgot to mention that part, which leads me to believe she wasn't into the rehab like she wants people to believe.

No to mention she was still high when she did the interview with Andy, anyone with a brain had to see that!!!

Brandi, I like you, a lot! You bring new blood to the show and you don't ki@@ anyones behind.

Hope you come back and show the "Richard sisters" how it's done and not to be so fake. Which I doubt it'll do any good!

BRANDI! Everyone else has already written it a million times- LOVE you and having you on this show. You and Lisa gravitate to each other because you are very equal in class, perception to your surroundings and bottom line, you're both "good eggs." We viewers see that and that's why you two have seemed to come together almost like war buddies. You survived the evil sisters and Taylor's horrific attention seeking manipulation. Taylor needs to be removed from this show. I feel bad for her abuse, I always believed her and I backed her decision to tell the world about it. However when she wrote that sick, tell-all book under the ruse of helping other battered women, I about threw up. Please, how stupid does she think we are? All Taylor Armmstrong cares about is her Beverly Hills lifestyle, and if writing a book about her dead husband one hot minute after he died was the way to keep it then so be it. EVEN if it meant completely obliterating his other children's worlds...No wonder she and Kyle gravitate to each other. Its as it should be. She is grotesque as a human being and she needs to go for all of our sakes. Fire Taylor!!!!

My favorite housewife of all time!! The Richards sisters didn't know what hit them!! So surreal listening to Kim say that you owed her an apology, too. . . wow, that woman really does live on another planet! Bravo had better bring you back next season if they know a good thing when they see it!

Brandi I didn't read all these posts, but i think u should go after Mauricio. Kyle hates u cuz u r tall, clever and hot just like her husband. She is so jealous it's pathetic and thats why shes so mean to u. She acts like because u r single u r a skank-when u too were a victim of a different kind of emotional abuse from your ex. Let's see how she handles that feeling the little schrew! I know how u feel sister cuz I'm not half what u r, but girls r haterssssss of single cute girls and always think u r after their husbands no matter what so go for it!

Brandi, I'm starting to realize one of your biggest problems is going too far. You have received a lot of support from the viewers. So why did you feel the need to end this blog by saying "you can't wait to see next week when Kim blames everything on you"? Kim didn't do any such thing. She took responsibility for her problems and behaviour. What she holds you responsible for is you making an allegation that she was using crystal meth. And you did say that!!! It was unfounded because you didn't see this for yourself. You were mad and lashing out, but your comments hurt her daughters. Just admit that. Brandi, you're a grown women with kids of your own. Kim can not force you to say things. You did that yourself. So don't play victim and try to add to her issues. Just say, you shouldn't have said it and leave it alone. Kim really didn't have anything bad to say about you. She said she would be cordial to you, but won't ever forget these issues. That's fair. Everyone is not meant to be friends.

Brandi, You're my favorite! You're beautiful and tell it like it is! I love how you go at Taylor. Fishlips really deserves it!

I admire your freshness, beauty and more of all your honesty.
I hope your teturn to the sehow next season, Just keep being yourself and ignore negative jealous people.

In the Hawaii episodes, you admitted to mixing alcohol with xanax. . . um, in light of Whitney Houston's passing, maybe you'd better seriously rethink doing that!

Brandi,
I don't think you owe Kim an apology for anything, she and Kyle were completely rude to you and you told it like it was (and guess what, you were almost right, she was on drugs, prescription or not). It's difficult watching Kim blame you for 'hurting her family'; she's playing the victim to make herself feel beter. You're a badass -- and a real lady, you prove it every time I see you on camera. Keep it up!

Brandi, thank you for being the only "real person" on this show. Thank you for calling Taylor out on her book, especially since that person does not have a voice. It is sick for a person to say with on side of their mouth, "how in-love they were", and then with the other side "he broke my jaw." You are fabulous, and I am sorry for the way you were treated on that show.

Brandi, you are Dino mite! These women don't deserve o sit in the same room with you, with the exceptin of Lisa and Camille, of course. I hope they get rid of Kim and Kyle and Taylor for sure. And Dana , yuck.......

Brandi,
You have many wonderful qualities and a lot to offer. You deserve to have a kiknd, honest man. However, if you want to befriend certain types of women and attract a certain type of man (someone like Ken for example) you would have to refine some of your behavior. Everyone can improve themselves without losing their spirit and basic personality. If you reign in some of your words and adjust your filter slightly, you would save yourself from some negative experiences and have all that you want. Even in jest, when you are so self-deprecating, people will treat you with less respect. You deserve better. Lisa is also very direct, but never vulgar, take a cue from her.

Brandi, you have been funny and mean and nasty. Your insecurities shows through. And it sounds like you and Lisa compared notes before you wrote your blogs. You have not always been responsible for your bad actions either. You sound like you need to clime down off your high horse. Be more humble.

Love you and Lisa... Camille this year too.

Brandi, you are more real in your baby fingernail than most of these women. Stay true to yourself always. You rock!

Sunnyo....your comment on Feb. 17 is quite possibly the stupidest thing I've ever read on this site or any other. Good lord! I guess you were born without a brain.

Remember what the psychic told you? She said you would have another child. (By your reaction Iam guessing you had your tubes tied!) Anyway, I saw the date that "The Matchmaker" sent you on and low and behold HE HAS A SON!! Always remember that psychic whenever you're out on a date! If someone has a child or two from a previous marraige than that person just MIGHT BE THE ONE!!!

First of all, I would like to begin with telling you that I respect the fact that you have been the utter most honest person. I enjoy your Bluntness; however sometimes, I do believe that you are a little TOO outspoken and tacky. I would like to add the fact that, it was obvious what Kim was doing, and the fact that they pushed you to your limit. A person can only be backed so far into a corner, before they eventually snap! Good For you! You had NOONE through out this whole season having your back, and I respect your courage for still being around them, and still being the person that you are. I also agree with you about the Taylor situation. I had two small children, no job and no money when my Ex Husband began physically abusing me. On the last incident, he had choked me so bad, that when cops arrived, in which were called on by neighbors, I had been choked so long, that one cop said I was seconds away from dying. I had blood coming from my eyes. No Money and No where to turn, I LEFT! I put myself through college and worked two jobs, and got my life put together for a better life for my children. I can't say I feel sorry for her, or any other women in that situation. I've been there, and when it is so bad that you are SCARED for your life, anyone in their right mind, knows you get yourself and your children out of that kind of situation. NONE of her stories make sense to me. Good luck in your future Brandi

Love you kitty-cat!!!! You're the only reason I watch the show! Kyle, Kim and Taylor need to hit the road! If I have to see Kyle wipe her tears with her stubby fingers one more time I'll scream!!!!!!!

I agree with you 100%. These ladies are not friends, unless Lisa and Camille make the effort. The rest, who would want them? Hang in there and put them all to shame!!!

Brandi, You remind me of Bethenny -- you are honest and you own your behavior and genuinely apologize when you make mistakes. Oddly Kyle is beginning to remind me more of Jill Zarin and we know how that worked out. You are stealing the show, and Kyle likes to be favorite one. Kyle likes to take the wounded ones under her wings and likes to call the shots. You and Lisa were stand outs this year. Camille came into her own too and I'm glad to see her in a happier place this year. Good for you! I hope they bring you back next year.

For the record-Taylor didn't bring up the tire slashing until AFTER you attacked her about what Russell told you so you CANNOT use the excuse that your comments were a reaction to her. Don't be a hypocrit and take some responsibility for YOUR actions. You used the same excuse on game night and it's getting old.

You are a great addition to the show!

Brandi you tell it how it is. You were attacked shamelessly on Game Night. Lousy hostess , bitchy sisters.....jealous of you obviously!

I agree, Taylor is wrong to not less Russell rest in peace and I feel so bad for his kids to read the book, I would never buy it. How awful of her to do this. She is a self absorbed and nasty. Kyle and Kim , has beens. Lost all respect for them.

Hope you come back with Camille and Lisa!

BRANDI, YOU'RE THE BEST! I love your honesty and willingness to be real. Rock on, girlfriend, rock on.

Hi Brandi...you're breathtakingly stunning and you appear to be a genuinely sweet young woman!

Game night will never go away. That was so scary to watch...what happened to you was horrible!

I don't get why Kim can't get passed what you said. First off, you didn't say anything wrong, or untrue to her or any of her minions. It has been said (in the bible), If I tell you the truth, am I now your enemy? Apparently, you are their enemy now for telling them the truth. Second, if anyone owes an apology, it's the highly aggressive Richards sisters. Wow, the things they said to you at game night! And, the way they delivered their message!! It was like watching two hyenas trying to devour bambi! However, I don't hold the others guiltless, because they ALL sat there and said nothing in your defense. At the very least, someone...anyone...should have ended it all by helping you get up and leave safely out the door. The excuse of not knowing you well enough just doesn't fly...how could anyone sit by and watch someone, who is sitting on a couch wearing a cast, get verbally attacked?? You did what any normal woman/mother on crutches would have done, so kudos to you for standing up for your sons and yourself!
