    If The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills continues on long past this season, the history of the show will likely be divided into two periods — before this end of season reunion, and after it. Bravo and reunion host Andy Cohen keep wanting us to believe that Lisa Vanderpump could walk in that door any minute and finally confront her Beverly Hills castmates over a season's worth of animosity. That doesn't seem likely to happen, though, which would make this episode the official end of the Vanderpump era in Beverly Hills.

    SEASON FINALE: Bereft of Lisa Vanderpump, the woman who's been the queen bee of the series since its inception, tonight's part three of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion will focus on the fall-out over Camille Grammer storming off the set in part two. Which means, yes, this year's Beverly Hills reunion featured two of the three types of Housewives reunion walk-out strategies. Also Teddi and Denise find themselves on the receiving end of accusations, and Kyle once again gives her side of the Vanderpump feud. 9:00 PM ET on Bravo

    NEW EPISODE: MTV truly has the dating series on lock this summer. But while the sexually fluid Are You the One? season is breaking new ground, Ex on the Beach — where reality TV personas find themselves at an exotic beach location where their potential hookups are stymied by the arrival of their exes — may be the most depressing thing on TV. It's not just that watching old Big Brother dumb-dumbs and troublemaking imps from The Challenge out of their element on a dating show is a bumme, it's also people like Danity Kane's Aubrey O'Day washing ashore, talking about how Donald Trump Jr. is the love of her life.  8:00 PM ET on MTV
