Dorit Kemsley was more confident and more aware during her second season with "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills." Ahead of tonight's season eight premiere of the Bravo TV reality series, the mother of two opened up about what it was like coming back to the show one year after she first joined the cast.

"I feel better not being the newbie," Dorit Kemsley explained to the Daily Mail on December 18. The wife of Paul Kemsley, manager of Boy George, also said that she is "stronger and more confident" during her sophomore season of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills." As fans may recall, Kemsley was brought to the cast of the series for season seven as a friend of Lisa Vanderpump.

The cast addition came after full-time cast member Kathryn Edwards and part-time cast member Brandi Glanville left the show.

As she explained to the Daily Mail, Kemsley started from scratch with Girardi during season eight and now have great conversations with one another. "It's been really nice to get along," she added.
