#Pippen took

[fateshurly]

alright im gonna say it Periguene "Pippin" Took it top gender.

I fucking love that hobbit dude he's the entire embodiment of little boy behavior did you know he goes home and instead of just chilling he just. Becomes the shire military leader and closest thing to a king hobbits have? And it's not just that he gets given titles as a honor of anything, he inherits the title from his father. He was probably the only hobbit on that quest with actually combat training. Because his father would probably have raised him to take on the title (little did he know his son would actually use that knowledge).

And when he has a son (WHOM HE NAMES FARAMIR NO IM NOT OKAY) his so would be the one to inherit that title, and I justjskfndkxdnfjsjx.

My favorite moments in the entire trilogy are the ones where he is either goofing off or running bravely into battle. ESPECIALLY that one after Merry says to Aragorn "he's always followed me, and I've cared for him" and later when Pippin finds him on the battle field pippen says so sweetly "I'm going to take care of you Merry" I physically cannot.

Pippin becomes the tallest hobbit ever, at 4'1 (he's just like me frfr) his westron nickname is fucking Razar, and he gets buried next to Aragorn and Merry. He was the youngest on hobbit on the quest and the youngest being on the quest, 27 years old and by hobbit standards, underage.

He is the gender of little boy behavior and I love him.

TW: General LOTR triggers, anxiety, fear, kidnapping, orcs,

Aragorn followed behind Gandalf as he led the small group to Isengard to deal with the dark Wizard himself. What he wasn’t expecting was to run into another part of the Fellowship after so being separated for so long.

He heard the Hobbits before he saw you standing there, radiant as ever, “I feel like I’m back at the Green Dragon after a hard day’s work.” Pippen spoke with his pipe happily placed in his mouth relieved the events of Isengard were over more than anything.

Merry spoke next, “Only, you’ve never done a hard day’s work.” That’s when he heard your bubbly laughter in response to the usual joking hobbits who were clearly very inebriated. You on the other hand seemed totally in control of the situation.

Aragorn’s heart pounded in his chest as he spotted you standing with your side facing him chatting happily with the two Hobbits that stole you away from him. You were alive. Somehow more beautiful than he ever remembered you being. His eyes scanned up and down your figure making sure they truly weren’t deceiving him. You were here in Isengard. Merry and Pippen too.

Merry stood, almost falling over, shouting at them with rosy, red cheeks, “Welcome my Lords, to Isengard!” You turned with the biggest smile on your face. Once your eyes landed on Aragorn’s you couldn’t take them away. Your smile grew as his mouth dropped in shock seeing you standing there alive and well. He couldn’t track you. He thought the worst of it. He knew right then that he had to tell you. He loved you. So deeply. He never knew if he was going to see you again, he thought the worst of the Orcs after not being able to find your tracks with the Hobbits.

“Y/N.” He spoke before nearly shoving the Hobbits away from where you were standing. He needed to be right next to you. Your smile turned to one of focus as you took him in after too long apart. Truly, you knew you loved him too. You wished to never spend another night away from your Strider. He was your home and comfort. He became your person without you even knowing it.

Without another word you through your arms around him tightly, bringing him in for an unexpected embrace. Unafraid of all the glances and knowing smiles from the fellowship and other men around you. You couldn’t seem to care about that right now, you’d deal with the embarrassment later, “Strider. What are you doing here?”

Before he could answer you Gimli shouted from behind the reunion, “You young rascals! A merry hunt you’ve led us on… and now we find you feasting and… and smoking!”

After dropping your arms from around his neck, you stepped around your missed companion taking offense to his words, “They’ve earned it Gimli!” You only smiled bigger once you felt Striders hand resting on the small of your back. He had always been protective of you but never so forward with it. The two of you had pined from afar but never acted on it as that would be seen as improper. But that was then. That was before he had feared the worst. You were alive. Breathing right in front of him with the most precious blush sitting on your cheeks. Yeah, he knew it was over for him. He needed you and was tired of trying to hide it.

Merry cheered with his pipe after you spoke and before Pippen tuned in, “We are sitting on a field of victory enjoying a few well-earned comforts.” He giggled in his non-sober state, “The salted pork is particularly good.” Pippen added for good measure knowing it would get under his dwarf friend’s skin.

You nodded along with them giggling yourself, “It is indeed.” You saw the gleam in Striders eye like he was trying not to laugh at the situation they had found themselves in. The plan certainly wasn’t running into the three of you while in an inebriated state. Aragorn knew you well and currently you were particularly giggly, a sign you’d partaken in some of their endeavors even if you tried to deny it.

The Hobbits waved their friends into Isengard, “We’re under orders from Treebeard who’s taken over management of Isengard.” Merry led the group in leaving Strider standing next to you holding onto the reigns of his horse. After the two of you shared a few moments just staring at the other he finally decided to speak to you. Neither of you were willing to follow the group at that moment. The two of you had a reunion to attend to before dealing with Saruman.

“I thought you were dead.” He admitted to you. Aragorn couldn’t meet your eyes as you just looked at him with a bit of bemusement forming along your tapered smile.

You tisked at him shaking your head, “You think so little of me Strider, no?” A growing smirk was playing at your lips as you studied his downtrodden expression.

His eyes finally looked into yours again, “Never, you know this. But I… I could not find your tracks along the Hobbits…”

“You did not think I would cover my tracks?” You eyebrows rose, challenging him now, “I thought you have always said I learned from the best?” Referring to him, naturally.

He let out a lengthy laugh. The tension in his shoulders released seeing you as the same person he thought he lost only a few weeks prior. Even though it had only been a few weeks he knew he could never part from you for that long again. He was a fool and only he came to realize that once you had slipped through his fingertips after getting taken by the Orcs. You didn’t hear his yell for you as he watched you fight. But even you, one of the best Rangers he knew, couldn’t overcome so many of them all at once. And just as he saw you, you had vanished in front of him along with the Hobbits. He had never felt such a failure before seeing you disappear with the creatures you had detested for as long as you’ve been alive.

“I should have never doubted you.” He spoke with that twinkle in his eye. He adored you, through and through. A slow gulp overtook him as he studied you. He always knew you were beautiful, ever since you met him all those years ago. But now, after it took him losing you to realize that he was in love with you, he understood just how stunning you truly were.

You nodded with that confidence he had adored in you, “Aye. Thought you would have learned by now Master Strider.” Tossing him a wink even you did not know where this overly friendly attitude towards your partner was coming from. That’s all he was and could ever be, just a partner in work.

He bowed his head with a similar smirk gracing his face, “Indeed. Forgive me, Y/N. But I was terrified. I thought I had lost you. My thought process was… less than rational.” When his eyes met yours once more a sad smile parted his lips. It hit you that he truly thought he might have actually lost you. Thinking of what you would do had you thought you lost him had you in an instant fit of tears. There would be no rationality in your actions had you thought of Strider dying.

His striking blue eyes sent a familiar shiver down your spine. You gave him a quick nod, “I will always forgive you, my king.”

Strider let out that familiar laugh that you had adored so much. The one that sent a shiver though your body, “It wounds me that you mock me so easily, my Y/N.”

You couldn’t stop your fluttering heart at his words, my Y/N, “I would never do such thing, you are my king, no?” You rose your eyebrows in curiosity. Sure, the news that he was the heir of Isildur took you by surprise. It didn’t shock you completely though. There was always something about him that felt so other worldly. When Legolas let true of his identify at the Council of Elrond it all sort of made sense. You’d been Rangers together for nearly thirty years, both of you being Dunedin it made sense to pair the two of you together early on in your ventures. He had never told you of his true heritage throughout all that time together. While it stung when you learned you understood why he had done so.

“I see you have not lost your tongue.” He avoided your question.

You smiled knowing his usually ways of dodging, “Would you rather they take it?”

But a quick shake of the head let you know he was simply playing, “Never. Your wit is but my favorite thing about you.”

Letting out a feigned gasp you shook your head, “I should be so offended Aragorn.”

“What do you mean?” He looked surprised by your reaction unsure if you were simply messing with him or being completely serious.

“Do you find me that unattractive?” You asked a little too bluntly knowing that you were surly crossing that invisible line the two of you had danced around for far too long.

A fiery blush rose to his cheeks letting you know you had finally gotten the better of him, “Oh no. Never. No. I did not mean it like that. Please…”

You stopped his incoherent rambling with a stifled giggle, “I tease.”

Shaking his head slowly he knew he likely looked a fool standing in front of you. He couldn’t hide it though as all of his emotions came forward seeing you there alive and well. He had begun the process of mourning your death, thinking he’d never see you again. He knew he wanted to tell you exactly how he felt, right here. He wanted to waste no more time. He came to the striking realization that even no matter skilled you or he was life in middle earth was very hostile and unforgiving. The chance of death was high and even higher now that the two of you had joined the Fellowship.

“You are fortunate I care for you very deeply.” He chose his words carefully, hopeful you would pick up on his true meaning.

“Oh?” You heard his words a little surprised. There was not much he could say that took you by surprise but this was one of them that did. He had never so much admitted he cared for you at all let alone deeply in your time together. Strider was very kind to you but the two of you shared a working relationship at most. You weren’t out here letting your tightly bound feelings out and he certainly wasn’t either.

His confidence grew seeing the color rise to your cheeks at his words. You were thinking and hard at it apparently, “That cannot be all you have to say.” He stepped forward knowing that he had the upper hand on you for once. He could never seem to catch you off guard until this very moment.

You sucked in a breath not having a clue where this seemingly innocent interaction was heading. Turning around you spotted the rest of The Fellowship talking to Treebeard far off in the distance. You spun back finding him standing much, much closer than he was before. Eyes widening your head was not making sense of what was actually happening, “I was not expecting you to say that.” It was you deflecting this time which drew an arrogant smirk on the man standing far closer than you were used to. How did he smell so good? Surely he hadn’t bathed in a while. How did Strider do it? Make your mind fuzzier than ever.

He had to look down to meet his eyes with yours, “I never want to spend a day away from you again.”

If your cheeks were not already aflame with realization they were flooding with color now, “You do not?”

It was he who had the courage to make the first move on you after seeing how easily you reacted under his words. He took his hands and brushed away a streak of dirt across your cheek slowly sending your already racing heart into another frenzy, “No, never. These last few weeks have been the worst in my life. Never do I wish to part from you again. If that is what you wish for too.” Ever the man you fell in love with, he left the decision up to you.

It was your turn to be courageous now, “I wish the same.”

His devilish smirk turned into a smile of utmost joy. A smile you so rarely saw on the man. For you knew you didn’t wish to separate from him ever again either. Nearly every moment you were away you thought of him. You thought what he would do in your situation and tried your hardest to stay positive. If it were not for the Hobbits you may have stayed to fight with the Rohirrim when they had saved you from the clutches of the orcs who had you running for days on end. But you knew Strider would save them before fighting on his own, the Hobbits would never survive Gondor on their own. In a way he had saved your life countless times even when he was not there. Strider stayed with you always. You loved him always.

It was then that he realized he had nothing to lose. The way you had looked at him told him exactly what he wanted to know. You had loved him just as dearly as he loved you, “Can I tell you something?”

A nod came from you, “Anything.”

It was now or never and he wasn’t planning on missing his chance, “I love you.”

You could not help the way your mouth dropped at that, “You what?”

“I love you.” He said again with more confidence. He loved you and he couldn’t keep it from you anymore. Strider also knew that things would never go back to normal after this quest. His true identity was revealed. Things would change. As much as he longed to go back to the simple life of patrolling the woods with you he knew that’d never be in his cards any longer. And if his life was going to change he wanted to bring the one thing that brought him comfort along for the journey as well. If he were to be king he wanted you to be his queen. No, needed you to be his queen. For a majority of his success came from you being there with him helping and guiding him.

“You love me?” You asked more to yourself than to him. When he placed his hands on your shoulders with a gentle touch you knew you were a goner. The look in his eyes was like nothing like you had seen from him, “Why me? We’ve been partners for over thirty years and… where is this coming from?”

He stopped your racing mind by running his thumb along your lower lip, ever the intimate action sending your speeding heard into overdrive, “I’ve always known. But losing you… thinking you died. It all but made me realize how daft it is to hide it away when I can tell you outright when clearly you feel the same. Am I wrong?” He smiled as he held the back of your head in his hand so gently.

“No. Certainly not wrong.” You spoke in a soft whisper. When he smiled even brighter than you had truly ever seen you had to tell him too. You’d all but implied the same feelings but you needed to let it out too, “I love you too.”

The next moments felt like a blur. He pulled you close before whispering in your ear, “The next time the nosy prince of Mirkwood is not watching I will give you a proper kiss, my lady.” It was the first time he’d called you that in all your time knowing him. A rush of warmth was felt throughout your body. It felt… right. Like you were meant to be at his side.

Once he released you from the hold he had you in you turned your head over your shoulder spotting the blonde-haired elf sitting on his horse paying much more attention to the two of you rather than whatever tale Treebeard was telling the new group.

You couldn’t help the laugh that escaped you over the absurdity of the situation. Of all the things you thought could happen today confessing your love to the man who had you enraptured ever since you met him was the last thing you thought possible. Yet here you were. Avoiding the ever-clear eyes of your elven friend, “Damn elves.”

He nodded in agreement, “Come on, hop on.” He led you to his horse where he got you situated before he got on behind you. Slowly, he led you back to the group. You caught Legolas’ side eye knowing the he had to have heard a majority of the conversation if he wanted too. And knowing him, he wanted too.

When Strider’s horse stopped he made sure to keep his hand on you, uncaring of the curious stares from the rest of the group. He loved you. They knew it. Why should he have to hide it any further? Finally, it felt like something in this journey made sense. All he had to do now was keep you safe and destroy the ring. Simple, right?

Pippen, welcome to your first experience with writer’s block.

Just wanted to draw Pippen again. I’m slowly getting better at drawing her show-accurately. Also I didn’t draw the background lel, I just took a screencap from the show to save time.

It’s sad that it’s such a common practice, not just with celebrities!

Papa Michael Jordan Don’t Preach

This episode threw me for a loop. A beef was squashed, there were dildos in a piñata, and a paparazzi video of a legendary basketball player went viral.

A paparazzi had asked Michael Jordan if he approved of his son’s relationship with Larsa Pippen, and he had laughed and answered “no”.

As it was the million-dollar question at the reunion and the women have tried to ask about Michael or Scottie Pippen’s opinion of the relationship, Larsa keeps deflecting from the issue.

I’ve thought this season that Larsa and Marcus Jordan make sense as a couple even if there’s a huge age gap between them.

They make sense because they’re both from the same world: The World of Basketball. Legendary basketball, on top of that.

Of course the ex-wife of Pippen and the son of Michael Jordan will cause a frenzy with the media. It’s a very strange love affair.

Adriana de Moura was a little too gleeful when she was asking if Alexia Nepola and Julia Lemigova had seen the video of Michael, though.

She loves to throw digs at Larsa, and in this episode, she talked about two things that probably has Larsa secretly boiling on the inside:

The Kardashians, and Michael Jordan’s disapproval. We’ll see how that goes at the reunion.

While Adriana loves to find the cracks in Larsa’s perfect existence, Kiki Barth just wanted to have an honest conversation about it.

Kiki was able to squash her beef with Lisa Hochstein.

They both took ownership of their parts of their arguments, but time will tell if Lisa will be more attentive with the women’s lives.

She doesn’t know the name of Marysol Patton’s husband! Or Kiki’s children!

Alexia said in her confessional that she hopes that Lisa will become less self-absorbed after her divorce from Lenny Hochstein, but she’s not holding her breath.

The women have tried to bring it to Lisa’s attention that she should make better choices in life from now on, but it seems like she’s only taking it as criticism.

This season must have been a huge wakeup call for her.

The Hobbit Trilogy

I recently watched the Hobbit Trilogy and I REALLY LIKED it. Not as much as I like the LOTR trilogy though. I know that A LOT of people don’t like the trilogy, hate it even. Whether it is due to length, the side plots, the CGI, the dwarves, or other reasons. And yes I know that it’s not perfect or amazing (especially when compared to the LOTR). But there are some aspects that make the movies a fun/great/enjoyable movie to watch. 

The trilogy gives the dwarves more depth. As stated before, I love the LOTR and think they are outstanding movies, but it centers a lot on hobbits, humans and elves. The dwarf is only used for comedic relief that has to constantly be saved. And I understand that the Hobbit is about the journey to a dwarven kingdom and that the LOTR is about the journey to destroy the ring. But we spend a lot of time in Elven kingdoms, Elvish is spoken quite a bit while Dwarvish is only mentioned once (even Black speech is spoken more than Dwarvish). Elves are also seen as the elite spices while dwarves are only spoken negatively by other species. In the Hobbit; yes the dwarves are funny and need saving but they are also very family oriented, musical (singing at meals), smart (Ballin convincing Bard), loyal (never turning from their kin), majestic (Thorin), protective (always looking out for each member), kind (cleaning Bilbo’s plates), determined (never changing their goal no matter the danger despite their size), great fighter (the way the use weapons and fight for their size). And although not all the dwarves were given time to show their personality, the band of dwarves gave off a brotherhood feel to them.

It provided great character development, for the main characters. Again the LOTR was amazing; the sets, the music, the fight scenes the characters. But there was no real character development except for three hobbits; merry (doesn’t care attitude to wanting to fight), Pippen (jokester to serious) and Sam (scared to one of the bravest).  The rest mainly stayed the same; Gandalf is wise, Aragorn is moral, Legolas is cool, Gimli is funny.  In the Hobbit Bilbo starts off as a man who wants to stay home and not do much, nothing to do with the dwarves. Through out the movie he warms up to them and risks his life to save them, and at the end welcomes them warmly to his home. Thorin starts off with this need to return home and get this gold for his people, not caring much for anyone else besides his kin. Throughout the movie is listens more to others and cares a bit more (looks out for Bilbo, helps fight the orc with Legolas). Once he gets what he wants he is more obsessed with the gold than his kin. But after seeing what he has become he realizes that his people are what matters not a destroyed city. Gandalf becomes more wary of things, people around him. Dwalin, who was the most loyal and listened to Thorin the most took a stand against him when he changed. Legolas opens up more and more defiant (and a bit more of a personality than in LOTR, come on I like Legolas but like he hardly talked and was only used as Mr. Fix it), than at the start of the trilogy.  Even Thranduil opens up to the problem to the world and to other species (men and hobbits). Tauriel is also given some character development; she starts off as this naïve elf who wants to save everyone to this broken lost person.  

The songs, though few are great. It shows a contrast to the elf songs in LOTR that were very choir like while the dwarfs are more boisterous. It showed aspects of the dwarf culture; that song was their way of telling stories, getting things done, or how they have meals. Like in the first movie the dwarves sing three songs, two were right on the spot songs around meal time. You can just imagine a group of dwarves singing through the great halls of their kingdoms or while they are mining (haha like the dwarves in Snow white haha). Not to mention they, the songs, are memorable, especially the misty mountain song. Man that was a good song, very ominous and emotional. You can feel the importance of it weighing down on you. And it is sang beautifully by Richard Armitage. 

The female character that was not forced. Yes I know the love triangle was stupid and horribly done and I hate it as well moving on. I just like the character of Tauriel and that the fact that she is a woman is never in the foreground or used as a “strong independent female character” kind of thing. She is strong experienced fighter. But she is not independent; Thranduil raised her and Legolas is always at her side. I like that unlike the other elves she is curious about the world beyond their boarder. I also like that she wants to help others, probably due to the fact that her parents were killed and she was helped by the woodland elves and therefor does not want others to suffer lose like she has. I love the fact that she is not a better fighter than Legolas or show off or that she is over powered (like other female elves cough Gauladriel in Rings of Power). She still has qualities that we associate with female; a healer, emotional, quiet (a listener). I think that the relationship between her and Thranduil is really well done, very much like a daughter and father; fighting about their beliefs but in the end coming to a sort of understanding. 

Smaug was just amazing. I don’t know much about CGI, but I think they did a pretty good job with it in terms of Smaug. Speaking of CGI, they did a really good job when it came to the dwarves and showing how small they were compared to humans and or elves. Yes the CGI does flop in other parts of the movie (especially the barrel scene). Benedict Cumberbatch was a perfect choice to voice him. He sounded to grand and threatening at times. I also liked how the used Smaug even after he died when Thorin was falling victim to the dragon sickness. It shows that the dragon wasn’t the true antagonist but the greed and the gold was. 

The fight scenes were really good. Not all of them and may be not to the extent of LOTR, but still very fun to watch. It showed how people as small as dwarves fought as a unit. All the flashback fighting scenes were beautifully done to show the magnitude of it in terms of the dwarf history. Even the barrel scene was a good fighting scene. It really showed the abilities of the woodland elves, more specifically Legolas. The battle of the five armies was, in my opinion, very well put together. It should the different fighting styles of the species; the dwarves were better in close proximity fights and just went in for the blow. The elves were better in long distant fighting and were calculated, the humans were versatile and used their surroundings to fight. The weapons were interesting in terms of their design. It was very evident which weapons were made by dwarves and which were made by elves. 

Again I understand why people hate it, and that there is no convincing people. I just wanted to share what I like about one of my comfort movies. But in all honesty, it is not as bad as the Rings of Power. At least the Hobbit closer  connected in terms of the books and the lore.

#MarcusJordan Blames Ex #LarsaPippen For ‘#ModifyingHistory’ After Their Separation

[donnierhettkoonce]

Michael Jordan’s Hands-On Approach as Charlotte Hornets Owner

In June 2023, North Carolina native and NBA great Michael Jordan finalized the sale of a majority ownership stake in the Charlotte Hornets. The $3 billion sale was to an investment group led by a hedge fund executive who already owned a minority stake in the franchise.

Having started with the Hornets as minority investor in 2006, Jordan took over a majority stake in 2010 and maintained a hands-on approach throughout his tenure with the team. The first former NBA player to gain principal ownership of an NBA franchise, he signed off on all basketball decisions.

This translated into often personal relationships with players. As Nicolas Batum, who played forward with the Hornets from 2015 to 2020, recounted it to The Athletic, he got a call from Michael Jordan when he was traded to the team, welcoming him to the organization. As someone who had grown up as a Bulls fan (though Scottie Pippen was his favorite), Batum was shocked to get that kind of treatment, and it indicated he was not simply another player being slotted into a money-making venture.

Ramon Sessions, a Hornets player from 2016 to 2017, seconded that perception, describing Jordan as the type of owner who would help organize turkey drives for local families and take part in other community events. As another member of the Hornets organization described it, “he’s still a player inside.”

All Star Game 2024

This year's All Star Game will go down in the books because of the final score. It was East vs West and there were no team captains chosen amongst the players. The all star game has recently become one in which there is little defense and players just take ridiculous shots to make them. This year's score was 211-189 with the East winning. The half time score was 104 - 89 which is equivalent to some regular season finals scores. In previous years, the players actually took the game seriously making it a close score. 

In the past, captains were chosen from the best players who then would choose the rest of the team and go head to head in the all star game. Usually for the first 3 quarters, they would play with little defense strategy. But when the fourth quarter would come around, they would play with more intensity to reach the designated score that would determine which team would donate to the charity of their choice. The charitable contribution was set at $200,000. With this motivation, it was always an exciting game to see these talented players bring their best.

The 1980’s and 90’s are known as some of the most competitive years for basketball, and many players now wouldn't have been successful back then. All the players would take the game seriously and give the fans a fun game to watch. Micheal Jordan, Shaquille O'Neal, Scottie Pippen, Dominique Wilkens, Hakeem Olajuwon, and Shawn Kemp are just some of the legends who played their best just as they did in any other game in the regular season.

Honorable Mentions of 2023

The Bravo year 2023 was actually full of interesting and memorable moments. It was a good year for Bravo.

Not everything could make the top list, but these are the honorable mentions of the year 2023.

1. Raquel's Betrayal of Sandoval

After everything was said and done with the reunion, Raquel Leviss surprised everybody by returning to Bravo for a final time to say her truth – and by doing that, she betrayed Tom Sandoval.

She revealed how he had wanted them to lie about their affair, and it was eating at her. She knew that if she betrayed him now, she would have no one.

She didn’t reveal any shocking details, but she admitted what everybody already knew: Sandoval’s a liar.

2. Guerdy Has Breast Cancer!

Guerdy Abraira’s scary breast cancer diagnosis is something that has gripped me, but it’s probably because she’s so scared, vulnerable, and raw about it.

Seeing the way her husband Russell Abraira is taking care of her and supporting her, bring me to tears.

But another reason, though it’s an unfortunate one, why her cancer journey is so upsetting to me, is that as soon as she had told Larsa Pippen about it, Larsa told everyone!

And she had no remorse about doing it either. That’s mind-blowingly rude!

3. Monica's Affair with Brother-in-Law!

When the newbie Monica Garcia revealed that she’d had an 18-month long affair with her brother-in-law, I was so shocked. Talking about owning your own skeletons in your closet!

Monica was sharing a lot about her struggles and her toxic relationship with her mother, but one of the scenes that stood out to me was this little bomb.

4. Tamra Wanted to Destroy Heather

RHOC had such an entertaining season this year, but I wasn’t exactly thrilled to have Tamra Judge back. It was obvious she had an agenda and she wanted to take Heather Dubrow down.

As her numerous attempts failed time after time, it became quite tiresome. But at the end of the day, the joke was on her.

5. Denise at Kyle's Weed Dinner

Denise Richards’ behaviour at Kyle Richards’ Weed Dinner was bizarre from start to finish.

She broke the fourth wall and talked about You Know Who, made absurd faces and made no sense whatsoever.

On top of it all she confronted Erika Girardi about something and wore her jacket upside down. She had a busy night.

6. Mary's Confrontation in the Van

RHOSLC truly had one of their best seasons ever, and their chaotic trip to Palm Springs was the gift that kept on giving.

After Heather Gay had gotten drunk on Espresso Martinis, and Meredith Marks had mistaken a waiter for security, Mary Cosby and Whitney Rose got into it in the van.

While Heather tried to stay alive, she was able to help Mary with the right word.

7. Gina Called Shannon an Alcoholic

After Gina Kirschenheiter learned what Shannon Beador had said about her kids and DUI, she’d had enough and said that she needed to check herself into rehab!

“If you can say things that are that fucking hurtful and not even remember that you said it, you need to go check yourself into rehab. And then when you do, and you get to the ‘I’m fucking sorry’ step, I’ll be waiting for that apology.”

Was she wrong, though? Shannon was arrested for hit and run DUI after the reunion was filmed.

8. A Room without a Bathtub!

This image of Meredith is probably how I felt leaving the year 2023. It had been a rough year, maybe for all of us.

But Meredith is just very unintentional funny to me. She was so emotional and dramatic about her near death experience where she almost drove off a cliff.

The editors kind of ridiculed her turmoil, but I also found it a little funny.

Another unintentionally funny moment for me was when she accidentally took two sleeping pills on their flight to Bermuda and was so out of it, she couldn’t secure herself a decent room.

If there’s one thing we’ve learned that Meredith loves, it’s her bathtub. And the fact that she was furious that no one would give up their room for her, made me laugh a little bit.

9. Dorit Called Erika a Bitch!

In the premiere of season 13 Dorit Kemsley confronted Erika about her mean comment about her marriage at BravoCon in 2022.

As Erika said she as a showman simply gave the fans what they wanted, Dorit had this to say in her confessional:

“Standing up, going to the center stage, delivering the line, and then flipping her hair, coming back and feeling very good about herself — that’s not a showman. That’s a bitch.”

I thought that maybe shady Dorit was back, but then it quickly turned out to be a little too much, as she belittled Garcelle Beauvais’ feelings and implied that Sutton Stracke had a drinking problem.

It’s fair to say that shady Dorit is back, but at what cause?

10. Alexa, Open Refrigerator!

The reboot of RHONY was entertaining and interesting, but it had also fun moments.

And when Brynn Whitfield couldn’t figure out Erin Lichy’s refrigerator in the Hamptons, she tried to open it by asking Alexa to open the refrigerator.

Brynn was the breakout star of RHONY, but Jessel Taank and Jenna Lyons also became huge fan favourites. It showed promise.
