Shall we kick off this weeks Bulletin by grading them all?
Youre literally saying it.
Not queen of the world?
Ironically, Ariana and Katies sandwich shop also never opened, so can that door be closed?
But first, the Jennie Nguyendominated news.
MentionItAll
Not all the news, but all the news you actually care about.
Jennie deleted the posts andquickly apologized, but the entire castunfollowed her on social mediaandpostedstatementsdecryingher behavior.
I have a feeling Jen completely missed the irony.
However, Jenreportedly got in trouble with Bravofor her statement.
Yes, this is the same excuse Jen gave to Meredith about why she was mean to Brooks.
And yes, this is still the dog ate my homework of reality-TV-personality apologies.
She also said she is a proud Republican.
I dont tolerate violence, but I do support my law enforcement.
I know with every profession, theres good and theres bad.
I dont support the bad.
I dont support the brutality with Black people or with any race, she said on camera.
But I do support my law enforcement, but that doesnt make me racist.
To support my political stance, that does not make me a racist.
I want you to understand that.
To prove her point, she had her friend Michael join her on camera.
When Bravo issued its own statement, it pledged to do better about making casting decisions.
How far back did they scroll?
Were they just blinded by pictures of Jennies adorable daughter, Karlyn?
Or whats worse, maybe they did a social-media check, found this stuff, and didnt care.
Maybe Bravo deserves an equal helping of the blame.
Tiffany Moon, but they did get the entire show canceled, so at least thats something.
(Um, hi, Ramona!)
I sure hope so, but to be honest, Im skeptical.
Then many Twitter users speculatedCynthia Baileymight also be joining for the drama of it all.
This is news to me.
Then a sourcetoldThe SunthatTeddi Mellencampwas in the running to be on the show.
I believe that source was Teddi Mellencamp because no one else in the world wants this to happen.
Finally, on Wednesday, CBS confirmed the final roster, andboth Cynthia and Teddi are on it.
We couldnt do better than that?

DontPlayaDoctoronTV
A gentle reminder of the dangers of diagnosing our favorite reality stooges.
But its not just Kyle who gets fans talking like this.
Is Kyles drinking problematic?
Yes, since we have seen problems arise from it, particularly with regards to his relationship.
(That was sarcasm.)
Oh, wait, thats just theRHONYcrew.
But you get what Im saying.
In all of these instances, drinking has led to problems.
Some people have found solace in sobriety, like Carl and Luann, whereas the rest keep chugging away.
(Those caveats may explain why weve seen so many damn shrinks on our favorite programs.)
I think that is a wise rule for all of us to stick to.
Was Kyle behaving badly?
Especially if Amanda thinks he was.
But is he an alcoholic?
I dont think thats for us to say.
We have plenty of trash to talk about all of the Bravolebs without indulging our inner armchair psychologist.
But does that mean we should say she has an undiagnosed mental disorder?
She might just be a person who is working through her trauma.
Or it might not be pathological at all.
She might just be a bad person.
And thank God for bad people because there would be no great reality TV without them.
TheJamesKennedyAssassination
Recapping Parts I and II of theVanderpump Rulesreunion.
Here I was, ready to write a postmortem onVanderpump Rules.
I was ready to say that the show had worn out its welcome.
That its become boring and overly produced and that we didnt get any interesting drama the whole season.
So why not tell Tom and Ariana when they were at Disneyland together?
The rawness and emotional intensity is real, though, about the only real thing weve seen this season.
That wasnt even this season!
Andy blurts out, as if that is how all these people measure time and emotions.
Once the season is over, the fight must be closed and new offenses entered into the register.
Do you want it back now?
she asks in her signature sputtering sheepishness.
He responds, Sure, and all of our hearts broke and all of our reliefs were sighed.
It doesnt seem as if Lala has learned anything, though.
I think she still sees herself as victimized by Randall.
But theres one other moment that proved to me thatVanderpump Ruleshasnt learned any lessons.
Andy asks Lisa when she learned that Tom and Tom were going to start a bar on their own.
Its also interesting and true.
So, wait, that scene wasfake?
(Again, note the sarcasm.)
