'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills': Can Camille get the image makeover she's looking for?

As we're hitting the end of the first season of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," Camille Grammer has been hitting the talk show and interview circuit hard. And she has one thing on her mind: Redemption. 

On more than one occasion, she has said that she's undecided about whether she'll return to the show if it gets a second season (which is pretty likely). Some reports have said that she's going to let the remaining episodes and the reunion show play out before she makes her decision.

In the meantime, Camille has accused Bravo of editing her into a villain. And the fans have definitely picked sides in her feud with cast mate, Kyle Richards, and Life & Style magazine readers voted her "America's Most Hated Housewife."

After a fairly likeable appearance on Bravo's talk show, "Watch What Happens: Live," viewers saw a glimpse of a more open, natural Camille. Could it be that she has learned a few things about being authentic on-camera? Or is she playing us?

We've definitely seen other "Real Housewives" undergo image makeovers. On "The Real Housewives of New York," Alex McCord has told us that she didn't like how she was portrayed in the first season. Since then, many fans have begun to appreciate her. On the flip side, Jill Zarin was one of the more likeable housewives in Season 1, then became "Public Enemy No. 1" by the end of Season 3.

This week, the Beverly Hills finale airs and we'll be seeing a very emotional Camille as the breakup of her marriage plays out on-camera. And in the reunion special airing next week, it's clear she's going to have a lot to answer to.

Watch the previews below:





Do you think Camille will get the image makeover she's looking for? Or should she just abandon the Bravo ship after this season?

im over people blaming editing for their bad behavior. acknowledge ur flaws cammille and grow from them! she sees how terrible she came of and now she's trying to do damage control

I am on Camille's side not Kyle's. Kyle was a b*tch about things and the only reason why she was all about making up is b/c she didn't want her & her husband to lose out on Grammer Money. Plain & Simple. And you don't say someone is a f*cking liar & expect them to still want to work with you & give you money, b/c if you do then you are nuts b/c no one in their right mind would work with someone who talked to them like that. Business is often times personal, esp. when you don't HAVE to work with them & can just get someone else to find you homes.
Now in general, I don't think Camille is that smart, but I do feel bad about her and Kelsey splitting, esp. b/c they have young kids & have been together 13 yrs. Also, I think it would probably be best if she didn't do the show.

I love Camille. She may be ridic, but at least she's transparent about who she is. Kyle is a sneaky, manipulative, angry skank who treats her sister like garbage as well as everyone else who doesn't kiss her flabby backside.

@Anonymous.....I can see why you didn't leave your name - you're insane.

What I believe is that when Camille stated that she was terribly shy that it was the truth. Many many actors, in fact the majority are the same way as am I myself. If you are a good actress (which Camille is not) you are excellent at hiding it and pretending that you aren't. As in reference to her dancing. She states that when she dances she tunes everyone out, as do I so I believe this.
Not that she doesn't need to come back down to earth for a few hundred visits, but what I truly believe is that things she says to camoflage her insecurities and weaknesses are all coming off as putting her own foot in her mouth. She lives in the land of pretense and doesn't know how to act otherwise. When you have that kind of money you don't have real friends since they only like you for your money. It feels like she has been isolated from reality for so long and catered to that she has never learned or forgotten how real people act and live. Hopefully going through this divorce might help her open up and feel comfortable enough to be herself because I don't think what we are seeing is who she really is. Even she herself during a couple of interviews describes herself as playing a character. She is doing herself a diservice by making the choice to do that if its true. Lets pray that she is playing a character and a very sensitive, fragile person is beneath all of the concietied remarks is under there. Attempting to hide being shy, fragile, and insecure is the wrong MO to be leading the public to believe. I think she is playing a part and was ashamed to let the public know she has these problems. She knows she has no real friends, is isolated, who wouldn't be insecure living that way? Money cannot buy everything. Its often a lonely place, there are so many instances I could use as example that end in drug abuse or worse yet suicide.

Camille is good TV but seriously, there's no amount of editing that could have put those vile words that came from her mouth. And don't get me started on her broke-assed friend Alison Dubois. That woman should have the fake cigarette stuck up her fat arse.

I think Kelsey is a jerk for doing that to his family and her friend Alison Dubois is insane i used to like the show medium but after seeing the real Alison i cant watch it anymore cuz that woman has a really bad heart and Camille i can only say she needs to stop wasting time trying to change other peoples mind instead of taking care of her kids, she should spend as much time as she does socializing in trying to be a good mom

Did it ever occur to anyone that Camille acted the way she did because she was going thru marriage problems and the end of her marriage on national tv. Give the lady a break. Kyle is the one who is vile and disgusting, look at the way she treated her sister thru out the entire show, she even exposed her as an alcoholic, something that should have been dealt with in private and among family. Not to mentioned she was always talking crap about Camille. I believe Kyle is jealous of Camille. And as for Faye Resnick, she took advantage of her so call best friend's death Nicole Simpson and profit from it. She wrote a book about all Nicole's secret including how they sleep together just to make money not caring about how it would affect Nicole's kids.
