Season 12 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is only a few episodes in, and the cast is already proving to be the best yet. All of the housewives from RHOBH season 11 have returned, along with new housewife Diana Jenkins. Much of the drama from last season is being carried over into season 12, with Sutton Stracke in the middle of much of it. Erika Jayne is still going through her legal battle, and fans are seeing new developments in how she is handling the stress. Dorit Kemsley had a relatively drama-free season 11, and the focus was mainly on her new fashion line Nektaria. However, RHOBH season 12 opened with her dealing with the trauma of her robbery.

RHOBH fans are also noticing a shift in dynamics between the housewives. In season 11, Sutton and Crystal Kung Minkoff were constantly at odds with each other. However, after the season ended, they made an attempt to form a friendship. RHOBH season 12 shows Sutton and Crystal getting along and enjoying each other’s company, until their past drama resurfaces. Erika, who was a fan favorite when she joined RHOBH in season 6, has steadily devolved into becoming the show’s villain. Kyle Richards, who has been the glue of the group since RHOBH season 1, is showing to be a divisive member of the cast in season 12.

RHOBH season 12 is one of the most talked-about shows in Bravo history. Prior to the season being aired, there was news of explosive drama between the cast members. “Friend of” Kathy Hilton was introduced to the show by her sister Kyle in season 11. Fans loved how quirky and clueless she appeared to be, while always maintaining a sense of decorum. However, it was reported that during an RHOBH season 12 cast trip to Aspen, RHOBH newcomer Kathy flew into a rage and used racist and homophobic slurs at a staff member of a nightclub. Following the incident, Lisa Rinna slammed Kathy for her behavior. Recently, it has been alleged that Kathy hired a man named Patrick Somers to take Lisa down, and RHOBH fans are hoping to see what really transpired during the trip.

Garcelle Beauvais has always been an outspoken cast member of RHOBH since she joined in season 10, and she is proving to be a pot stirrer yet again in season 12. Fans were shocked when she seemed to turn against Crystal despite their close relationship. Garcelle accused Crystal of setting Sutton up in season 11 during a conversation about race when Sutton claimed she didn’t see color. Crystal retaliated by asking her if she was "that girl that doesn't see color." Crystal tried to explain to Garcelle that Sutton had said something “dark” prior to their conversation. Later, Garcelle warned Sutton, “Watch out for your new friend.”

Some RHOBH fans think that season 12 is becoming too heavy and want to see the housewives have fun with each other. Viewers loved watching Kyle and Lisa let loose with their dance moves during girls' nights out. Sadly, Lisa lost her mother while filming RHOBH season 12, and fans will watch as she grieves her beloved Lois. Erika also seems to be spiraling with her drinking as her castmates look on with concern. With so much happening in The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 12, fans agree that this cast knows how to bring the drama.
