We are back in Ojai just in time for the “shut the fuck up” heard round the world. In a bizarre turn of events, Brandi is defending Kim from Adrienne and Kyle is taking Adrienne’s side over the person trying to protect her sister. Perhaps Kyle is one of the people at the table that Brandi says wants Kim to fail. Did anyone follow those last couple of sentences? Um, yes, newsflash, “shut the fuck up” is a rude thing to say. That is why one says it. Rude is the intention. Adrienne began the rude train when she mocked Kim for crying.
Even odder is the group in the bathroom. Kim is bawling her eyes out and Brandi, Yolanda and Taylor are in the bathroom with her. Wasn’t Yolanda just at the table saying “Who talks to women like that?” about Brandi and now she is in the bathroom with Brandi and Taylor comforting Kim? As Brandi tries to apologize for CrystalMethGate 2011, Kim through her tears must make it know that she has no idea what Crystal Meth even is. Ummm HMMM.
Lisa tries to get Brandi to apologize to Adrienne. Brandi says she’s not sorry. Back at the table Brandi realizes someone needs to cut the tension so she says “I’m sorry I said the F word.” Gawd. I hate when adults say things like “the F word.” It makes them sound like children. Brandi gets a call which she takes at the table. Grrrr. And announces that she got a book deal. This sends the enemy camp, which Taylor has rejoined despite a quick moment on team bathroom alliance , into a quiet stew of hatred. Taylor begins dramatically “meditating” at the table while sharing knowing looks with Adrienne. At this point in the season we are still divided into team left couch and team right couch. At the reunion Brandi shouted from the left couch to Taylor about writing a book about Russell’s suicide when it had only been a hot minute since it happened. So team right couch is united in their disgust that Brandi is writing a book about divorce.
So 7 or 8 women are going on a picnic in two gold carts and an argument ensues about who gets to drive the Bentley cart. These women have the maturity of a group of sixth grade girls in a self-contained class for behavior disorders. They seriously need a behavior contract or perhaps a sticker chart. On to badminton and Yolanda continues her fiercely competitive streak. Yolanda seems to want to one up Lisa in particular.
After all of that, spa treatments are in order. Adrienne seems oddly uncomfortable with the sapphic nature of the spa treatments which requires the girls to rub themselves down with all manner of mud and goo. Then they end up doing each other’s backs. You would think Adrienne would be enjoying this. Kim is moaning and groaning loudly. People are uncomfortable. But Yolanda decides to start a towel fight with Lisa. Kyle decides to see if the girls will fall for “the quiet game,” and the do, until Yolanda once again decides to disrupt things by throwing a pitcher of water on Kyle.
Dinner is fabulous. I’d love to eat there. Dinner conversation is focused on sharing childbirth stories. I do not understand women who do this. Camille is all like …really? Didn’t everyone just hire a surrogate like me? After exchanging terrible labor stories, we thankfully move inside for the drinking. At this point our ever so fun gal, Yolanda is displeased. She can’t drink for two more months because it doesn’t mix well with her lamb fetus injections. I’m not kidding. Kim is clutching a pillow to her body and white knuckling through this entire scene. Again, not kidding. Yolanda announces she wants to go to bed, but graciously tells Lisa the rest are welcome to carry on. Sober Kim opts to go bed as well. Allegedly. Things devolve into the drinking gals laying on the floor arm wrestling. Brandi beats Taylor and challenges Adrienne by saying, “You’re the guy!” Brandi wins. And I lose for recapping this. The squealing has woken up my dog. Is this normal behavior for middle-aged women?
Yoohooo are you coming back? Love your post as always but this one just sort of ended so abruptly like you went to walk the dog after the squealing woke him up and then forgot to come back. You especially missed the part of Adrienne smelling Taylor’s thong before putting it on and Taylor showing her saggy butt to the world which is on twitter so that of course is funny as hell to me and I was dying to see how you were going to recap it, lol.
Tamara generally steers clear of the more disgusting things that white women do on these reality shows. She would much rather save her disdain for the minor things that say a Nene Leakes or Kenya Moore would say or do. Adrienne Maloof or Taylor whatsherface actions tend to get swept under her journalistic rug.
Not that she’s biased or anything.
She would just much rather flush out the brown girl’s flaws because they are successful African American women who really deserve to be brought down a peg or two in the eyes of her and her readers. Pay no mind to her silence as regarding the much more egregious perpetrators of filth. They are just as disgusting to Tamara (Sure) but her silence regarding their actions is well deserved.
It kind of don’t make sense to broadcast the lesser of two more egregious disgusting behaviors but when you think about it: it does make perfect sense. Remember now: in ENG Composition 101 the first rule in writing a paper (or in this case:typing a blog) is to KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE.
Tamara’s audience loves to hate the brown girls so Tamara saves her venom for them. Tamara KNOWS her audience. So when Tamara explains herself to you about Being disgusted into silence that means her audience is not thirsty to hear about the bad behavior of women who look like them. They want their dirty brown not trashy white.
Nevermind about Tamara’s failure to be fair and balanced with critiques regarding all the housewives; That is not bias ness on her part: It is merely her preference to blast the brown girl perpetrators. They bring more bring traffic, nastier comments and stirs the racial pot for her preferred audience. That’s a Plus.
Bigoted? nooooo, it’s just a preference she and her crew has. They and She can highlight who they want, when they want. It’s Tamara blogs and she caters to her people. No one should question anything that she is silent about. If they do; please expect Incoming from Billy Bob and Ellie Mae.
So just sit back and relax Iamrealitylover and silently LOL as the master Researcher take great pains to deny deny deny any sort passive aggressive bias toward anyone. And please respect her, dammit, she has done her Research well. And truly she has. Just not on the those that she deems should be left in her protective silence.
Terri makes me laugh. Especially when she makes it sound as though the commenters to the blog don’t love to hate on the white girls. Seriously. There’s more Kim hate here than NeNe hate.
I thought I was pretty clear in that I felt stupider for even watching that ridiculous scene and found it annoying and uninteresting. Sorry if that was not clear to you.
Ahhhh “and I lose for recapping this”, got it. Read it first time and thought that maybe tv was too loud while you were watching/blogging and dog woke up from squealing which I then took to mean you had to then get up, dressed and walk him. Boy I read a lot of extra shit in there that wasn’t there, my bad I can be way too literal sometimes 🙄 It’s all good just anticipated some wildly entertaining snark on the further “ladies gone wild”. Not too worry as you blog often enough that I can still get my fill of funny snarky commentary 🙂
Terry? I am knew to this website as of mid-December. I read your “composition” almost immediately thus I was really curious to see if what you indicated was true. I’ve been reading blogs for 2 hours now and honestly can’t agree with you. I think Tamara’s blogs are fairly written and no where did they have a racial component OR does she come down harder on African-American women. Just my observation. I think you may have a tad of a shoulder chip. Just saying…
Brandi is a twat…not understanding why Bravo resigned or Kim even agreed to do a show where the ladies do nothing but drink if she wants to be sober…Lisa is starting to annoy me…
Agree with all that!
Am I the only one who thinks Adrienne isn’t quite right? I think Brandi might be right when she said she really isn’t very smart. She was born into her family fortune, right?
I started seeing Adrienne’s true colors when she bought her Jackpot dog to obviously compete with Lisa. I remember thinking that was so pathetic. Her making a big fuss about Pandora not having her party at her hotel was also revealing. I won’t even get started on the abuse pictures.
Why did no one at the dinner table say anything to Adrienne about being drunk? It seemed almost obvious to me that that was why she was saying those things. Along with her shaky toast to herself on her book deal. And why are they so concerned about saying fuck at the dinner table? Kyle called Camille a fucking liar when they went to dinner during the first season.
Adrienne is rather…odd. I’m not sure what it is. The facial surgery doesn’t do her any favors. And yes, she was born into money. Lots of it. As of late though their assets have plummeted. Still she has plenty.
Her plastic surgery is awful! I wonder if Paul did all of it?
I loved tonights episode. Brandi had every right to tell mug face Adrienne to shut the fuck up because NO body was talking to her. Kim and Brandi were having a private conversation and then here come Adrienne yelling “somebody’s crying” but then get offend and calls Brandi rude? Really? Yes I understand that Brandi could have made a better statement but Adrienne asked for it. I do not understand why Kyle did not see if Kim was ok especially now that she is sober and trying to be a better person. I like Yolanda so far but I wish she would take the stick out of her ass. Taylor should be worrying about finding another dick to ride instead of hating on Brandi. Lisa I love you but please don’t let everybody gang up on you like they did at the dinner. If you want to stick up for someone do it. Kyle needs to go to the Betty Ford clinic for families because it obvious that she and Kim have some issues to work out. I wish they would bring Camille back instead of having her pop in certain scenes. I’m rooting for Kim to stay sober cause she deserves it. Adrienne get a clue.
Have they!? (Assets plummeted) is it the Kings?
Ash511- Yes, their assets are in the toilet in comparison to where they were in the past. They had to sell off their majority share of the Palms to cover debts, they now own 2% of it. They sole off their distributor rights (huge mistake) to sell Coors brewing products in the state of NM. If you wanted Coors Light in NM they had the exclusive rights to that state, every bar, store, restaurant had to buy from them. Since the 1930s, they sold off the only recession proof asset they had. Pretty much every financial article on it pointed out what an idiotic move it was. The other huge asset was Wells Fargo stock, they have over 4 million shares, which was great when it was valued at over 50.00 a share, not so great went it crashed down to 7.00 a share a few years ago.
And then there is the Kings, which are operating at a net lose of almost 10 million a year.
So while yes they still have more money than I will ever see, it is a far cry from where they were 10 year ago.
Lamb fetus injections.
Ugh.
I second everything Cami posted. My thoughts exactly. And Kyle isn’t witty, she’s a bitch.
what are lamb fetus injections for? waht do they do? is yolanda trying to have another baby ?
@Cami I am with you on Yolanda…I applaud her for going to bed and not making a drunken fool of herself on tv, but come on why else do you think I’m watching? I just didn’t like lecture on drinking and getting up at 6 a.m. to work out, zzzzz……
She also smart enough thus far not to embarrass her husband and kids on TV.
Haha I really started to say that too but I try not to make my commentary too long! I agree, you know David Foster said you better not embarrass me…
You can make your commentary as long as you want. <3 well sorta. Unless you are Donna. lol.
When giving birth to her son, Yolanda broke her back and thus has lingering pain. The “little Bo Beep” injections are to help with the pain. (Personal interjection: I broke my back in a car accident and can attest to the pain involved. I hope these injections help Yolanda..)
I just want to scream O M G STFU! to Kyle and Adrienne. Yes it was said. Yes you found it inappropriate but dayum. And Kyle, remember the sister you love so much? She’s off being comforted by her mortal enemy in the bathroom. WTH is wrong with that picture? I can tell this season I’m going to dislike Kyle very much.
My whole issue with Kyle is the fact that she said to Camille, “you are a fucking liar, Camille!” while at lunch with the ladies during S1. And now she’s acting all prim and proper???! Gmafb…… And then listening to her defend Adrienne…w/o an ounce of thought regarding her sister. Personally, I DO think most of those women want her to reverberate back into drunk Kim.
And Taylor?? I think she’s vile. Her big ass fish lips are getting in her way. I so hope she’s gone after this season.
This was the most fun of any Real Housewives episodes! They just let the drama go for a sec & let loose & I cracked up the whole time!
Is it just me or does Kim seem drunk or on something in her talking head?
I was wondering who Brandi was talking about when she made the “some people don’t want to see you do well” comment…I feel like Kyle & Kim just don’t like each other but love each other
I am no Kim fan, but do they even think how hard it is for her to be around all their drunkenness?????
I agree, they aren’t thinking about that at all. Especially this early in her recovery the least they could do is NOT drink around her. That’s what caring people would do.
Yep I have said this before. I guess she needs the money or is just doing it bc Kyle wants her too, I really feel bad for Kim. That cannot be easy for her to have to watch everyone else be drunk and walk away.
The reaction to the shut the fuck up was so blown out of proportions. Kyle and Taylor and Adrianne like to put on airs that they are these refined women who never let a curse word cross their lips.
Kyle is the classic co-dependent, she may say she wants her sister to be sober and in a better place, but her actions speak way louder. If Kim is sober and gets her life together then Kyle’s role as caregiver, provider, protector is gone. You know she gets satisfaction in knowing that she is the one who helped Kim hold her life together and helped her financially. Kim was the bigger star, but now look who has to help the big sister Disney star.
Adrianne is off, I can’t put my finger on it, stupidity or something else?????
The saddest part is that the trip to Ojai was the first thing Kim has ever been responsible for “planning.” At least according to the storyline Kim planned the Ojai trip as a celebration of her sobriety. So everyone except Yolanda used that for an excuse to get drunk out of their mind and act like feral children.
I was just not a fan of this episode. As I was blogging while watching I just found myself not wanting to finish the blog. I made it to ALMOST the end before I just couldn’t be bothered to give the blow by blow.
Am watching the final dinner scene, where Camille says she used a surrogate in her talking head and then it goes back to a shot of Adrienne, they almost look like twins from both having entirely too much plastic surgery. I really hope neither has used Paul because they are a baaaaad walking advertisement.
And holy crap, Taylor and Brandi shared a smile during the wine glass toasting. They definitely had to have been lit by then.
Ok WHY was Adrienne putting on someone esle’s underwear?! That’s just nasty! Something tells me she needed a depends and didn’t wear one under her dress.
I agree, he would be the last person I trusted to do plastic surgery. However, seeing all the beautiful women that have ruined their faces has already scared me away.
Adrienne supposedly had a surrogate too.
I can understand why Kim, Brandi & Taylor are on this show, they all need the money. I guess for Lisa and Adrienne this is good publicity for their businesses. Camille has the sense to scale her participation back and comes across rather likable this season. Kyle just seems to like the spotlight, even if it’s a detriment to her relationship with her sister Kim. She comes across as very mean spirited.
Did anyone notice how Yolanda said she thought there is nothing less classy then drunk women, yet she signed on to be on this show. Did she never see the show before! Yolanda is married to one of the most successful and richest men in Hollywood, this cannot help her image with the Hollywood elite.
Brandi is just white trash, I don’t blame Eddie Cibrian for leaving her.
Adrienne is so socially awkward. she even made arm wrestling awkward and weird. Why would she put on someone elses thong? has she ever heard of trich or crabs or other nasty yeasty bacterial virusy stuff. yuck. I didn’t even realize that wasn’t her own thong until i read someone’s comment…that is probably the grossest thing i’ve ever seen on here.
Hate Kyle again. Love Lisa. I am so not on “aww poor Kim” train…still harping on the meth comment? people only harp on shit that is true…so..hmm.
Camille needs to either be a housewife again or leave…it’s making no sense to me. i get the whole “friend of the housewives” thing but she’s in like every scene.
So is Alexia on RHOM. I don’t know why she didn’t just say okay, I’m a housewife. I know she was busy with her son’t rehab, but she’s on every episode so she might as well have gotten paid.
I understood that the “friend of the hws” title was a way to circumvent the Bravo demand that Camille’s bf & Alexia’s home life be included in their filming. I took it as a trade off of $$ in return for a modicum of privacy. Don’t know for sure.
Makes sense MaggieG. However we have seen Alexia’s house. I know this because I drooled all over it on twitter and she invited me for a visit! 🙂
I took the whole thing differently. Adrienne has been mothering Kim through her addiction. While no one else seemed to. Kim was crying saying “that was so mean!!” She was NOT crying because she was happy they broke through as friends like Brandi said. Adrienne wanted to break up Kim reliving that crystal meth accusation and bawling. So she interrupted to end it.
Adrienne may be needy. But I don’t think she is necessarily mean. Lisa on the other had PLOTTED to get Brandi to go after Adrienne. And then told her to apologize openly admitting that she didn’t have to mean it, but it had to be done so they didn’t look bad.
She is a fake, nasty, deeply unhappy person. I think every one of the bh ladies is deeply unhappy and probably mentally unstable. But there are levels of maliciousness. Lisa on the high end of that. She just wants to hurt people.
I saw that completely differently. Adrianne made the crying comment at the table when Kim started tearing up about her daughters, the Meth conversation happened in the bathroom, where Kim was more upset. But the shut the fuck up happened before the meth bathroom talk.
Now I will have to re-watch it to see what is going on.
Yeah. I dunno. And we can probably watch and still not know. Depends on the edit and who this city’s target is this season. And it looks like that is Adrienne.
These ladies are crazy I would never another woman’s underwear…Ewwww so gross!!! It wasnice seeing them laugh and have fun..
The underwear didn’thase me so much because I’m resigned to what Tamera hinted at. Adrienne is a closet case.
NTTAWWT
LOL you realize that only like five of us knows what that means, right?
More like six, I am of the age of Seinfeld.
Dear god. I misspelled your name. Kill me now. Sorry!
It’s okay. 1) I didn’t notice and (2) I sometimes have to release your comments because you misspelled TC, so I can see how getting six consecutive letters right might be difficult.
Hahah. People just came in to see what I were laughing at.
I used to really like Kyle in Season 1. Last season, I started seeing more of what I think are her true colors. This episode was the first time I wasn’t worried about Kim being able to maintain her sobriety because she is over Kyle. Her actions, comments and behavior lead me to believe she’s learned through recovery that Kyle is one of those people who wants her to fail and she’s not falling for her shit anymore.
And Brandi, I love Brandi. I really do. She might not always say things just right but neither do I. That word is one of my favorite go-tos. Adrienne was not checking on her friend. She was causing a scene. And Brandi shut it down. Instead of going to the bathroom to check on her sister, Kyle sat around and started WW3 over a freaking word. And then, in the car on their way home, she brings it up AGAIN even after Brandi apologized and Adrienne accepted. Way to stir the shit, Kyle.
That reminds me. I had forgotten what Brandi said in the b-room. “they all want you to fail!” Wtf??? Based on what? And how does it help Kim to say that???? Brandi is awful.
She didn’t say they all did, she said some did. And I believe some do. That should not be a newsflash to Kim, she has Kyle for a sister.
Does anyone know anything about why Kim accused Kyle of stealing her house in season 1?
Their mom had a house in palm springs and when she died she willed it to Kyle and Kim (not sure about Kathy) but for whatever reason Kim sold her share to Kyle. She tried to buy it back layer and Kiyle wouldn’t do it. I don’t know what their terms of sale were, whether Kim thought it was temporary or not, but now Kyle owns a house that was once theirs and in sure she doesn’t act like it is “their” house, it is most def her house. It is the one is S1 where they have Lisa over for Easter, and Kyle gets on to Kim’s girls for not cleaning it good enough after staying a previous weekend.
I really like Kim. She has come a long way since S1. Remember she didn’t even feel comfortable being around those women. I’m glad she was able to get over Brandi calling her out. I think the truth hurt her more than anything and no one has prolly just called Kim’s ass out quite like that.
Kinda glad I don’t have any sisters after watching Kyle. She knows her sister is going thru issues and she a) gets drunk celebrating her sisters sobriety b) sat there when her sister ran off to cry c) defend the woman that just attempted to embarrass your sister and caused her to run off. I really dug Kyle S1. Not so much anymore. She’s not all sweet and funny as she pretends to be.
Taylor is annoying but not so much as last 2 seasons. Adrienne…I’m really over her and her claymation face. She looks like the female chipmunk cartoon the chippettes.
I like everyone else.
As usual I agree with everything you said. Vic. Taylor was on WWHL last night and I actually enjoyed her. Viewer question: Why did everyone get wasted on Kim’s trip to celebrate her sobriety. Answer: Omg I dunno now that you mention it we were total assholes. lol.
I thought the same thing but I didnt want to dare admit it. LoL you know how you’ve resigned to disliking someone and then they win you over…that’s what Taylor tried to do on WWHL. I still don’t like her tho. LoL
At least they are white!!!
I only said that in response to Terri up there in the beginning of these comments, btw.
Kyle rocks 🙂
