[S1 E15]: Watch What Happens Live: Twitter with Arabella Walsh & Hattie Montgomery

Andy: She’s warming up to the ice queen, and she’ll make sure that no one is being mean. It’s Watch What Happens Live: Twitter with Arabella Walsh and Hattie Montgomery NOW!

The Watch What Happens Live intro music plays and the camera pans to Andy sitting in his chair

Andy: Welcome back to the clubhouse and we’re here with two fabulous housewives all the way from the UK, Arabella, Hattie, how are you two doing tonight?

Arabella: Andy! This place is a lot bigger than it looks on TV! I love it!

Hattie: *holding a glass of champagne* Thanks for having us, Andy! You don’t mind me drinking, do you? The alcohol helps with the jetlag.

Andy: I don’t mind at all, drink as much as you’d like! Well we have a lot of fan questions for you…Jarod from Tacoma asks Arabella, why do you think you and Elizabeth were able to bury that hatchet and move on?

Hattie: HA! — I still can’t believe that to be honest.

Arabella: *to Hattie* Shut up, you! Elizabeth and I have come a long way considering we were ready to kill one another at the end of last season… I think we’ve both found a mutual respect for one another.

Hattie: I think it’s because they’ve both realized they’re both as bad as one another.

Arabella: *smiles, but clearly annoyed* Both Elizabeth and I have fully apologized for our bad deeds and are ready to move on like adults.

Hattie: I don’t buy, it Andy. But, what can you do?

Andy: Well I’m glad you’ve both gotten past everything…Dominique from New York wants to know Hattie, what was it that made you move forward with Monica at Dixie’s house?

Hattie: As the viewers will know, I’ve really been going through it lately, and much more plays out this season in terms of my grieving process. After last season wrapped, I took a cold hard look at my life and decided I didn’t need any more drama. Monica was on the top of my list to make amends with. My Ernest wouldn’t have wanted me to hold onto grudges.

Arabella: Ernest was a great guy, Hats.

Hattie: He really was. *wipes away a tear*

Andy: Awww, well I hope everything for you gets better soon *smiles*

Hattie: Thanks, sweetie. It’s a daily struggle. I’m just taking each day as it comes.

Arabella: You’re doing amazingly, Hattie. Truly.

Andy: Now that it just popped in my head Hattie, have you and Linda Murray been in contact at all, you two both lost your husbands around the same time

Hattie: I actually haven’t! I think we both exchanged well wishes on Twitter, but we’ve never actually had a proper chat. There is so much we could talk about! I feel her pain.

Andy: If we ever do all stars…*looks at camera and winks*

Hattie: Oh, honey I’m an all star through and through! *laughs*

Andy: Arabella, what was your reaction on Darcy and Coco calling bullshit on your relationship with Elizabeth?

Arabella: Haters gonna hate, Andy! And no one is more of a hater than Darcy fucking Windemere. She sucks the life out of any room. They’re both just jealous that Elizabeth has realized what arseholes they are. This season, you’ll see a huge rift develop in the group as a certain housewife’s life unravels in spectacular fashion…

Hattie: I’m not sure we’re meant to talk about that, Arabella…

Arabella: It’s fine. The police won’t come knocking! *laughs*

Hattie: Well can I just make it clear that I like Darcy?

Arabella: Your judgment is clearly clouded by the booze, dear.

Andy: *laughs* You two are hilarious…alright, so that group event, what were both of your first impressions on Chardonnay?

Hattie: OH MY GOD — does she make a first impression!

Arabella: I actually found it funny, but it’s safe to say one of our fellow wives did not like Chardonnay when she first entered the group. *coughs* ELIZABETH!

Hattie: Chardonnay is forthcoming and will tell you her opinion whether you like it or not. I like that.

Arabella: Did you agree with her views on the royals though?

Hattie: HELL NO! I love Charles and Camilla!

Andy: Speaking of that…what did you both think of Chardonnay telling Elizabeth her true thoughts on the royal family?

Arabella: Let’s face it, it was very declasse, wasn’t it?

Hattie: She’s entitled to her opinion. But her opinion stinks.

Andy: Riley from New Orleans asks both of you if it was appropriate for Coco to bring Chardonnay without asking the host?

Arabella: *shakes head* Rude, rude, rude!

Hattie: I love Coco, but that was the wrong thing to do. I think Coco felt like she couldn’t approach Elizabeth to ask her properly.

Arabella: Elizabeth isn’t an ogre… well, let me rephrase that. Most of the time, Elizabeth isn’t an ogre. I’m sure she’d have said yes if Coco asked.

Andy: Okay, for our first game, I’m going to ask you most likely questions about your other six cast members and you’ll tell me who fits the bill. Are you ready?

Arabella: Oooooh I love this part! I’m SO ready!

Hattie: Let me sip a bit more champagne to warm myself up… *sips* OK, I’m good.

Andy: Most likely to get lost in their own hometown?

Arabella: HA! Chardonnay, I think. She serves bimbo very well.

Hattie: Right now, I’d say me as I’m feeling rather tipsy — but out of that motley crew I’d choose Chardonnay too. *laughs*

Andy: Most likely to get caught skinny dipping?

Hattie: *stands and flashes leg to the camera* THAT WOULD BE ME, DARLING!

Arabella: Oh Christ, sit down dear! We have to pick from the others! … Dixie is incredibly saucy so I’d go with her.

Hattie: I reckon Monica, you know.

Andy: *laughs* Most likely to lock themselves out of the house?

Arabella: Monica’s handbag is like something I’ve never seen… The chaos! I’ll go with her.

Hattie: I think Chardonnay again for that one.

Andy: Most likely to sleep with someone on the first date?

Hattie: Oh, Dixie 100%!

Arabella: I think she has already, to be fair!

Andy: *laughs* Most likely to embarrass themselves in public?

Arabella: Spoiler alert! Coco definitely embarrasses herself in public this season…

Hattie: You shady bitch, Arabella! I think Dixie for that one. She’s a free spirit like me.

Andy: Most likely to give a sarcastic comment?

Arabella: Have you met Elizabeth?

Hattie: Oh, yes — she’s sarcastic as hell. She doesn’t even know she’s doing it sometimes!

Andy: Most likely to build a sex dungeon?

Arabella: I’ve got one… JOKE! Just joking!

Hattie: If you did, I’d have sniffed it out. I think Darcy is secretly kinky… I’m saying her.

Arabella: That makes me feel sick. I’m going with Dixie.

Andy: Last one, most likely to blab a secret?

Hattie: That’s a tough one! Who would you say, Arabella?

Arabella: Monica has loose lips. But then, Chardonnay has big lips… *laughs* Oops!

Hattie: *laughs* I don’t know why I’m laughing! You’re messy! … I would also say Monica for that one — even though we’re back on track now

Andy: Thank you both for playing, that was fun!

Arabella: I’m going to be in trouble for that!

Andy: Geraldine from Austin wants to know Hattie, is your daughter still in Barcelona and how have you been coping with being alone?

Hattie: She is at the moment, but I’m really hoping that that is due to change soon. She’s found it quite challenging I think out there alone, but a job opportunity has come up back in London now so I might be getting her back sooner than I envisioned, which is great!

Andy: That’s good to hear! Umm…did either of you think Elizabeth was justified calling Chardonnay a slut after just walking in the door?

Hattie: I don’t. I think she went too far with that comment.

Arabella: Now… How do I put this? *long pause* I kind of agreed with Elizabeth. She looked like she’d walked in from a shift on a street corner.

Hattie: *gasps* Ari, you monster!

Arabella: I’m just being honest, darling!

Andy: Sam from Minneapolis asks Arabella, do you think Monica is jealous of your relationship with Elizabeth now that you two are getting along?

Arabella: Monica and Elizabeth have never seen eye to eye due to their history with one another, but do I think Mon’s jealous?… Possibly.

Andy: Interesting…so…do either of you think that Chardonnay knew about Elizabeth hosting and knew that they’d clash?

Hattie: The poor girl clearly didn’t have a clue what she was walking into. She didn’t read the room very well at all. We’re all filthy stinking rich middle-aged women — of course we love the monarchy! *laughs*

Arabella: I agree, I don’t think there was much forethought there at all. I blame Coco, to be honest.

Andy: Gotcha…what can we expect to see for the rest of the season from you two and the ladies?

Hattie: For me, this season is about my grieving process and how I try to navigate that in my everyday life. I can’t say it’s all happiness and light, there are some dark moments but the girls are really there for me this season.

Arabella: There’s one huge scandal that rocks this season and sends ripples throughout the entire cast. I’ll be surprised if the particular housewife involved remains on the show quite frankly…

Audience oohs

Andy: I’m so excited to see it all play out!

Andy: For our final game of the night, we’re going to play a classic game of PLEAD THE FIFTH! I’ll ask you both three questions and you can either plead the fifth or give your honest answer. Here we go…

Hattie: God I love this show!

Andy: Arabella, do you truly like Elizabeth and consider her a friend?

Arabella: Now? Yes. Before? Fuck no.

Andy: Hattie, which one of your cast mates is the least authentic and puts on for the cameras?

Hattie: *laughs* Oh my… *turns and grins at Arabella then turns back to Andy* I plead the fifth… *winks*

Arabella: That better not be signaling me!

Andy: Arabella, marry, f, kill…Hattie, Coco, Darcy

Arabella: Despite her answer, I’d definitely marry Hattie, shag Coco so it’s over and done with quickly and I’d mow Darcy over with a combine harvester.

Andy: *laughs* Hattie, will you ever fully trust Monica again?

Hattie: I think so… I’m not there yet, but I could be there. Ask me at the end of the season!

Andy: Final question…for both of you…is Chardonnay a slut?

Arabella howls with laughter, while Hattie grabs her pearls in shock

Hattie: No.

Arabella: You’re going to make me say it, aren’t you Andy? … I PLEAD THE FIFTH! *laughs*

Andy: *smirks and laughs* Thank you for playing! That’s our show! We’ll see you next week for new episodes of WWHLTwitt!
