Rulla’s new look and new inspiration, Bravo icon Danielle Staub The infamous "slam pig" slang exploding into a full-blown slang monologue from Alicia A directors cut fight about "smoky snow suits" that didn't make the season Liz’s spiritual Kabbalah corner The insane police report drama showcasing Joellen's cop connections Joellen vs. Liz!
