This Week on Millionaire Matchmaker

Just because you are a millionaire, it doesn't mean you know how to use that money to dress right. Patti brings in the big guns, her favorite image consultant to help her client Matt look the part of a successful and interesting man as opposed to quirky and uptight. Also struggling with appropriate style, Patti's millionairess of the week Elena, doesn't mind showing a little (or rather, a LOT) of skin. Will Matt and Elena agree to play by Patti's rules and attract the right kind of date or will the two clients stick with the looks that have failed them in the past? Find out this Tuesday 12/28 @9/8c on BRAVO's The Millionaire Matchmaker 4.

Tonight on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

Has Camille taken the Kyle vs. Camille feud too far? Camille decides that her and her husband no longer want to work with Kyle's husband, but Kyle is not going to let it go that easy. Taylor's party might be the perfect place for Kyle to mend fences and get Camille back on her side. Or, based on previous interactions, it may just blow up in their faces once again. Will the ladies give it yet another try at friendship or will their drama ruin Taylor's big event? Find out this Thursday 12/23 @10/9c on BRAVO's The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

Blogging Bravo Interview with David Caldwell



The Fashion Show designer talks about his experience on the Bravo show.

A highlight: Yes, David is still seeing Dominique.

Thank you David!

BB Love to David Caldwell

This week's challenge was particularly difficult in that it involved re-purposing clothes from the Lost and Found into a coherent collection. While David had lots of good ideas in using the various print fabrics he found, the judges were not thrilled with his over-accessorizing.

Poor David - he just admitted he had feelings for fellow contestant Dominique, and now he has to wait to see her again.

David - good luck with your future endeavors. You have talent and you have the potential to go far in the fashion world.

This post is only for positive comments about David and his work. If you have anything negative to say about him or his competition, please do so in our Reactions post.

Congratulations, Dominique Pearl David!


Although this challenge may have been difficult, Dominique really stepped up and used great imagination in re-purposing an umbrella and making a cute dress. The trench coat alterations completed the look and impressed the judges. Dominique's winning design was head and shoulders above the rest of her competition and even among her team-mates.

It was only a matter of time that we would see this young designer win a challenge. With immunity next week, it will be interesting to see how she keeps her promise to show us a different side of Dominique.

This post is only for positive comments about Dominique and her designs. If you have anything negative to say about her or her competition, please do so in our Reactions post.

This Week's The Fashion Show Ultimate Collection

The designers take a field trip to New Jersey where they are granted access to the lost and found area at Hoboken train station. From these items, each fashion house must present a cohesive collection of weekend looks.

Tonight on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

Camille has the grand idea that a dinner party with the ladies will get their friendship back on track and put the past behind them. Boy is she wrong. The dinner quickly takes a turn for the worst as ladies square off in screaming matches across the table. With match ups of Kyle vs. Camille and Taylor vs. Kim, the ladies leave no topic unturned during this unforgettable evening. Is it finally time to throw in the towel and accept that some friendships aren't meant to be? Find out this Thursday, 12/16 @10/9c on BRAVO's The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

Blogging Bravo Interview with Golnessa Farmanara



Golnessa talks about her experience on The Fashion Show.

Thank you Golnessa!

BB Love to Golnessa Farmanara

The House of Emerald has struggled throughout this competition, and this week was no different. Although the concept of pale and golden-hued fabrics was perfect for the OC Housewives, some of the gowns suffered in execution. Unfortunately, Golnessa's was one of them. She had issues with fit after her housewife left her Spanx at home, and her dress turned out too tight. But the judges' least favorite part was the attached mermaid flounce at the bottom.


Golnessa, we're sorry to see you go and we at Blogging Bravo wish you nothing but success in your future.


This post is only for positive comments about Golnessa. If you have anything negative to say about her or her competition, please do so here.

Congratulations, Eduardo de las Casas!

Congratulations yet again to designer Eduardo de las Casas who has been setting the House on fire with his designs. This makes three wins for Eduardo, and I'm betting we're probably going to see at least one more before the show is over.


His gown for New Jersey Housewife Dina was gorgeous, it fit her perfectly and showed off her body in all the right ways. Anyone would be proud to wear it on the red carpet.


This post is only for positive comments about Eduardo. If you have anything negative to say about him or his competition, please do so here.

Reactions to The Fashion Show Ultimate Collection Episode 5

Wow - now that was something: the Real Housewives visit The Fashion Show. Tell me - did those Housewives really need more exposure? (I think not.)

Blogging Bravo Interview with Ro Tamez


Rolando talks about his experience on The Fashion Show. A highlight: Ro and Cesar have remained friends and watch the show together.

Thanks Ro!

BB Love to Rolando Tamez

We at Blogging Bravo are sad to see Ro leave the competition so early, because we're sure we haven't seen all that this competitor can produce.

While his contribution to Team Nami this week spoke of 1969, the judges felt that he ignored the sensuality of the era and produced something that was boring and conservative. Maybe so, but people would wear it!

This post is only for positive comments about Rolando. If you have anything negative to say about him or his competition, please click here.

Congratulations, Jeffrey Williams!

Congratulations to Jeffrey for creating a look straight out of 1989. Even if he was only five then, he was still able to capture the feel for the time (at least according to Iman, Isaac, and Company.) The look was fresh and innovative and interesting.

Jeffrey - it's great to see you finally get a win in the competition. You're a strong designer and we're looking forward to seeing your future creations.

This post is only for positive comments about Jeffrey. If you have anything negative to say about him or his competition, please click here.
