When I saw the preview for the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 11 premiere I wondered two things: how is Kathy Hilton just a "friend of," and when was RHOBH Season 11 filmed?

According to Women's Health, the cast began filming in October, 2020. And Us Weekly reported that on October 4, 2020 Erika Jayne, Lisa Rinna, and Dorit Kemsley all posted on Instagram about going back to work.

And according to my Googling, that tracks. In the first scene of the premiere, we see Kyle Richards all bandaged up after a nose job she had two days earlier ... and Kyle detailed her nose job on social media in October, 2020.

We also know that the Erika Girardi and Tom Girardi divorce news broke in early November of 2020, so it seems that the cast had been filming for a mere week or two before the Girardis came under fire for allegedly stealing from "orphans and widows," as Dorit says in the trailer.

Other than the question surrounding Erika (did she know?!) the biggest question is: Is anyone going to, or not going to, wear a mask in the ocean? And whose mask is going to be the most expensive? Please tell me we're going to get a $25,000 mask moment. Please.
