At the end of a long day, sometimes the best way to feel like you're living your best life is with some comfy PJ's, a glass of wine, and gratuitous reality television. In our series "Not-So-Guilty Pleasures," we remove the "guilt" and break down the latest happenings in your favorite TV indulgences.



The ladies of the Lone Star State are coming back to make Wednesday nights quite dramatic. Season 4 of The Real Housewives of Dallas premieres on September 4 at 9 p.m. ET. and viewers will get to see just how much has changed since their last Bravo run.

Before we get into what everyone can expect, let's quickly revisit what went down during season 3, when there were major shifts in the dynamic between Brandi Redmond, D'Andra Simmons, Kameron Westcott, LeeAnne Locken, Cary Deuber, and Stephanie Hollman.

The bond between longtime besties Simmons and Locken weakened, and many jabs were thrown in each direction. Simmons accused Locken's fiancé, Rich Emberlin, of cheating while Locken alleged that Simmons had a drinking problem.

Hollman, meanwhile, helped Redmond during the process of adopting her baby boy, Bruin, and she also celebrated 10 years with husband Travis Hollman by renewing their vows. Westcott acted as an etiquette cop when she wasn't pleased with everyone's behavior. And Deuber tried to be honest with everyone by telling the housewives what they were saying about each other.

Oh, and how could we forget cellphone gate. Redmond and Locken were at odds (again) after the ladies went skinny dipping in the Baltic Sea during a group trip to Denmark, and Locken captured it all on film. (This all went down on the show, not just in real life).

Redmond was furious and demanded she delete it. Coincidentally, Locken's phone went missing for a few hours and all eyes were on Redmond. Fast forward to the season finale, when Locken put her hands on Redmond during an argument about the cellphone and the night ended with Locken getting held back as Redmond cried and cried.

Ready? Here's everything we know about the upcoming episodes.

After being a main cast member since the series premiered in 2016, Deuber is stepping into the role of a friend this season.

"Our practice has grown so much that I need to focus on managing what we built at Lemmon Avenue Plastic Surgery & Laser Center," she told People. "I'm also working on a new filmed project that I'm super excited about. Have no fear, you will see me and my sarcasm on RHOD!"

So who's going to replace Deuber? Simmon's new friend, Kary Brittingham. The Guadalajera, Mexico native and self-proclaimed "feisty female," according to her bio, is a mom of four who isn't afraid to speak her mind. That will be evident because her relationship with Locken gets off to a rough start.


What will The Real Housewives of Dallas season 4 be about?

Based on the trailer, we know that Locken is going to finally tie the knot to her partner of 10 years, Emberlin.

Viewers will also see Simmons and Locken still at odds with each other, while Redmond and her family host a funeral for their pet bunny and later contemplate whether they want to adopt again. Westcott is going to butt heads with Redmond and Hollman, and Simmons and her mother will keep fighting over the family business. In addition, newcomer Brittingham will have problems of her own with Locken.


Where can I watch The Real Housewives of Dallas?

The entire third season is currently available to watch on BravoTV.com with a cable provider login. The episodes are also available for purchase on Amazon and YouTube.
