Well that was quite the premiere
Already obsessed with
Brooks, the gay son. "He's taken a semester off, and is living back at home" is clearly code for him literally dropping out of university and moving his entire life back to where the cameras are gonna be, at the slightest whiff of potentially appearing on a few episodes of Real Housewives. But I'm glad he did, as he's clearly gonna be great quality on this. I want him in every episode. And he probably will be, since Meredith will need someone to film her home scenes with, what with the husband never being around
SARA. She was only in two scenes, but what a show-stealer! I'm getting vibes that she was one of the women in the running to be a Housewife, but always over-egged things into line-crossing territory, and so had to be cut for being too drunk/messy. Case in point - episode 1!

I really hope that not too many of her scenes have been relegated to the cutting-room floor. I want her on the cast trip, too!
I didn't mind
Lisa as much as most of you lot did. Looks-wise she gave me Nicole from Sydney, but drama-wise she's already giving me Lisa from Sydney. Second-half of the season Lisa from Sydney
Mary. Obviously an incredible housewife already. She's gonna give us some iconic confessionals. And whereas a lot of people use the 'no filter' thing as an excuse to be a terrible person, I already get the impression that Mary genuinely has been afflicted with a neurological condition with which there really is no filter between what she thinks and what she says. That, and she's also a terrible person, too, of course!
