Tonight was the premier episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills! We got a chance to meet all of six of the girls and watch them get to know each other as they take a trip up to Sacramento to watch the Kings play the Lakers.

First, we meet Lisa, a Brit who has been married to Kenn Todd for years. She has two grown children, and with an empty next she is obsessed with her little Pomeranian “Jiggy”. Her husband Ken has two pups also, Pikachu and Lollypop. She also has a 2 year long houseguest named Cedric that she trains with her, and has become a part of the family over the years. She lives in an amazing home in a gated community of Beverly Hills right across the street from Adrienne Maloof. 

Adrienne is married to Paul Nassif, renowned plastic surgeon and sometime doctor/celeb on television.  Adrienne is part of the Maloof Companies, with her family and together they own the Sacramento Kings and The Palms Casino. According to her, she and her husband keep everything separate with their money and also have very different political views as well.

Camille has been married to Kelsey Grammer for years, and when the show started taping they were still married, they have since moved forward with a divorce.  She lives in Malibu in a huge estate with four nannies for her 2 children.

Taylor Armstrong is married to Russell Armstrong and says that 80% of her marriage is business and the other 20% is romance. She is great friends with Adrienne Maloof and in the first episode gets filler and Botox from Adrienne’s husband. 

Lastly, are sister’s Kim and Kyle Richards. Kim is the older of the two, and the blonde. She has 4 kids, is single and in the premier episode is looking to move. Kyle is younger, with dark hair, and is married to Mauricio. Both are rather…well….how to put this gently…misconceived about the size of their fame/celebrity. Particularly Kim, who says she was a child star. Kim’s divorce has set her back, and Kyle is trying to look after her, but there is tension there. They are also both quite obsessed with their children, according to their own admissions.

In this episode, Adrienne invites all of the girls to a Kings game and charters a jet to take them up to Sacramento. Kyle is a white-knuckler in the plane and is scared, but once she gets up there, she seems to have a blast while her sister Kim is very reserved and claims that she is usually standoffish when first meeting other women. She is particularly cold to Taylor who is a bit perturbed by her. Camille comes off awkward and brings up Kelsey a lot. The girls also thing she is showing off by dancing with the mascot at the game.  For anyone else, the game is fun, but Adrienne finds it nerve wracking since she is part owner of the team.

Catch an all new The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills next Thursday at 10/9 c on Bravo.
