The Real Housewives of Orange County is back for season 16 with the return of the champagne aficionado, Heather Dubrow. The last time we saw Heather was on season 11 and she didn't have the best exit. However, she's back and bringing a new vibe. Returning from last season are Shannon Storms-Beador, Gina Kirschenheiter and Emily Simpson. The ladies are joined by three new women to shake things up and it started off with a "scandal".

This episode breaks down what probably has been a highly anticipated trailer for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 11. In the trailer, it is quite clear that the majority of the season will focus on the legal drama surrounding cast member Erika Girardi and her husband Tom Girardi.

The trailer also shows that newcomer Crystal Minkoff goes at it with Sutton Stracke, who also engages in a heated exchange with Erika.

On this episode, Keirn shares a personal experience from his teen years. An experience that was truly hurtful but was also a learning moment.

On this episode, Keirn talks about part 2 of the Southern Charm season 7 finale. Kathryn finally shows up to "clear her name" but Keirn doesn't think she has any grounds to do so. Keirn then summarises part 1 of the reunion and Craig's unnecessary attack on Madison.

Questions about why the men choose to bury their heads in the sand or defend something they cared little to enquire about?
