Too bad the producers of Chicago have had to scratch the bottom of the barrel with so many Bravo misfits. Kind of tells you the show has run its course and should probably close.

This itch is gonna milk this thing for every second she can. For me, she will always be the VP Fool who once said she was repulsed by her own cooch, and had sex in the back seat with LaLa while Tom played chauffeur.

Don't know who she is but it is great they didn't want Erika.
