I'm Danny Pellegrino and I'm here to talk housewives.

I feel like we haven't talked about the real housewives in ages.

Of course it was the holidays and then I had that emergency appendectomy.

If you didn't listen to the Vanderpump rules recap, I encourage you to go listen and you

can find out about my appendicitis journey.

But that's why I've been off.

And I just want to say a front, if you haven't listened to those Vanderpump recaps, just

know that I'm a little bit weaker than normal and I apologize.

I'm kind of slowly easing back into this.

So I apologize if the episode's a little short or if my energy's a little low.

I'm still in recovery, but we have to talk about housewives.

There's so much going on and I feel like I missed some very vital weeks.

There was lots of physical altercations, Danielle, Stobbe announced that she's leaving

the housewives franchise on Watch What Happens Live.

Did you guys see that?

You've got an announcement to make.

Tell us what you're thinking.

Well I have over the past 12 years and 10 seasons been a part of this whole franchise

and I've been very happy to rally and stand on the platform and be here with all of you,

but it is time for me to leave and do something that I want to do that makes my heart happy

every day.

And so I will be never returning as a housewife again.
