It's the Battle of the Friendships on this week's Real Housewives of Miami. It's starting to look like the ladies are choosing sides for who they support more, Lea or Adrianna. Not all of the ladies have a problem with Lea but the ones that do, like Marysol and Adrianna, are expecting the others side with them.

While Lea was busy trying on multi million-dollar jewelry for her extravagant charity gala, some of the woman who weren't attending (or shall I say not invited) chose to take a fun bus ride to a polo event in Palm Beach. Marysol and Adrianna gave Alexia the cold shoulder after she said Herman wanted to go to the gala and there was a driver waiting for her. Even though Alexia wasn't feeling so hot, she still tried to juggle both by going to the polo event and then breaking away to get ready for Lea's important day. Once she got home, she realized she overdid it and called Lea to say she wasn't feeling well and wasn't going to make it. I foresee a major problem - is Alexia now going to be on Lea's bad side?

This group of women may not all be on speaking terms but at least Joanna and Lisa showed their support at the gala. I wonder if the high priced diamond necklace Lenny got Lisa was to cheer her up since she's been having a hard time getting pregnant.

The gala outcome was a success except for one thing... there were no bidders! Lea tried to auction off numerous items but people just weren't willing to fork up the money. Maybe if Alexia and Herman were there, they could have fixed that problem OR better yet, maybe if Lenny hadn't bought Lisa her necklace just days before he could have participated in the auction. Either way, the gala was a success!
