The loss of Lisa Vanderpump is palpable. Clearly she carried the show. Since she left, the quality of conversations and interactions amoung the current cast is boring, vulgar and too low class for the audience.
It always amused me how the Americans don't understand that British love language = roasting each other. And they can't tell a gentle roast from legitimate shade.
The fact there were two different occasions where the other cast members said she sold stories. Lisa and Ken were one of the few cast members with no lawsuits going on and they're pretty much the wealthiest cast members on RHOBH. She doesn't need to sell stories they're financially pretty solid lol
It's pretty telling that once LVP was gone, the women all turned on Denise in the same way. The RHOBH are mostly very insecure women (okay mostly just Kyle, Rinna, and Teddi) and get jealous very easily of more secure women. LVP and Denise do not need RHOBH to have a career, they have other gigs but some of the others are just run of the mill basic rich women without it.
