RHOBH Recap: If It Has the Real Head of a Duck, It’s a Duck!

March 4, 2013 by tamaratattles 29 Comments

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills - Season 3And we are back in Paris for the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills trip. It occurs to me that in all my trips to Paris, I am not sure I have ever walked down any of the stairs and walked at the river level. I guess I must have. I remember in the Spring of 2010 when all the love locks were cut off by city officials in the dark of night. I wonder how long until they do that again?

Anyway, they are all in Paris and they are worried about Kim’s mental state. I say forget about it and let Kyle handle it and go eat a crepe or better yet a Gyro on the way to a museum. But no, they are all on the way to a cooking class and Kim is super later and really weird. Kim asks the million dollar question, why fly all the way to Paris to make their own dinner? Sometimes Kim is the only sane one. Kim is quite irritated with Lisa in her talking heads!  I wonder if those were actually filmed in Paris so Kim could try to remember the events. She’s now crying in the talking heads and in the actual bus. Lisa feels bad.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills - Season 3At the cooking demo, the girls flee while the guy chops the duck’s head off. Yolanda says, “It’s a duck with a real head.” Only Brandi is willing to butcher the duck. Essentially, Kim ruined that scene so we are sent off to see what the guys are up to. The guys are worried about having to eat what the women eat. I suspect they will sneak off for a snack. Meanwhile the women are attempting a gastrique for the duck. Looks like they added in some mushrooms and cherries. For reasons unknown, Brandi writes FU with her cherry gastrique. Giggy is brought to the table to drink from Ken’s glass. Brandi is wiping Kim’s face which was smeared with gastrique. Kim’s dinner conversation is about her recovery. Lisa is repeating the Kim story to Mauricio and Yolanda tells her to drop it.

Off to shop in the fancy stores. Kim is really mad at Lisa for asking if she might have taken a sleeping pill. Kim is driving a wedge between Lisa and Kyle. Kyle says it keeps coming up over and over again. BECAUSE YOU BRING IT UP, KYLE. Mauricio bought Kim a really fugly handbag that Kim was admiring in the shop. Mauricio then ducks away with Ken for a Segway ride. The girls go up the Eiffel Tower. Kyle brings up her conflict with Lisa. And we have the same argument but this time with a fabulous view of Paris. There seems to be ten tons of commercials. I usually add in the photos and tags and stuff during the breaks and I keep finding  myself watching commercials. Finally we are back to the same argument with Lisa and Kyle and the commercials were more interesting. And it is over until next week. Which will give us just another peek at Paris.

    First off there is no way that Kim could get a nose job and go without painkillers. I had one two years ago & the pain was unbearable. It would take a very strong person to get through that first week without Vicoden. I want to go to Paris just to cut Kyle & henpecked Mauricio’s lock…ick. Good for Lisa not acquiescing to Kyle’s crybaby antics poor Kyle didn’t have her friends there. Payback’s a b%tch. Brandi and Yolanda were the best with their cartwheels. I think I saw Kyle’s eyes light up, maybe I can do my splits (please God never let that be on television again).

      I think it just depends. I did take painkillers after mine, but if for some reason I found out I couldn’t, I would have been fine..

    Why don’t they refer to this show as the “The Real Housewives Victim of Kyle’s Manipulation in Beverly Hills”? If it weren’t for Lisa I would have stopped watching the drama of Kim and Kyle’s lifestyles long ago!!! Really who are these two anyway? Inconsequential is the term that comes to mind! Guuuuh!!!

    In this episode, I really felt like Lisa was showing an insensitive side. Maybe asking if Kim took a sleeping pill wasn’t the best idea (after all, she could be prescribed sleeping meds? I don’t know) but asking “how long were you passed out?” was some real poor choice of language. Then she spoke of Kim as extremely overly sensitive to Kyle and later to Maurico, after suggesting they just cancel the cooking class. Lisa wanted out of the situation and to turn the tables back on Kim – Lisa was out of her usual element of being the self-appointed peace-maker and exemplar of taste, graciousness, and style.

    Thank you for the affirmation that that was a FUGLY handbag! And I agree with Diane-remember when Alexis had her nose job? She said it was the worst pain of her life, and if she had known how bad it would hurt she wouldn’t have done it.

    I vote for Lisa being the Ambassador to this train wreck of a show! VIVA LISA! She seems to have more sense than all of them combined! (Ouch, ahead of time… I am sure I will be the subject of backlash… oooops… I could care less). I know who I have respect for and who I don’t.

    TT, Kim didn’t remember the events either in the car or later in her talking head which was bizarre. She said she met up with them at 9 or 10 and continued to claim she spent the entire day with Lisa and Ken and then they left her at 5 for…and she made a strange face and sound. She was a space cadet in, and if her th was taped after she returned, outside of Paris too. She needs to get off the show and work on her recovery.I don’t enjoy watching a train wreck. I’d rather watch Brandi, Lisa and even Yolanda. At least they like to have fun and let they hair down, unlike the others.

    Thankfully there was Paris to look at.

    Oh yeah… Kim is using drugs for sure, and I believe.that drugs has always been her problem. Last seaso there was a scene in the back of a car wiyh lim and her boyfriend on the way to the airport where kim.keeps searching around.frantically, touching some sort of bag that was in the back window and just searching like crazy. My ex had a huge drug problem (crack) and. We livedcan together , and that is EXACTLY the behavior of someone who does that. TO THE TEE. And I dont care if anyone disagrees with me about this. I have lived with it and that is exactly what that addiction looks lke. Hatd and satI and infutriating to watch. I also had surgery on my nose, bit mine was only for my sinuses and not cosmetic, so I cant speak about that exactly, but if theyre anything alike, let me say that it was the most painful thing ever! I would never ever do that again and definately could not have made it through without pain medication. At least not the first few days. And that bizzare smiley face Kim made when they were all on the balcony. OMG! Anyway, I do hope she gets the help she needs. Im not saying shes doing crack now, but I think she is now abusing pills. Hopefully when she runs out she will stop, before her body gets physically addicted to.them. Otherwise, shes in a big mess again.

    Also, being a huge Lisa fan, I have to say I did not like the way she behaved on this episode. Definitely stirring the pot. Running and telling everyone about Kim. Bery disappointed in her this week.

    Lisa, whom I normally adore- was doing waaaay too much in this episode for me. She came off as completely disingenuous towards Kim, and a blatant pot stirrer where she was concerned. I’m starting to see slivers of different aspects to her personality that I had not before. I still think she is quite the cat’s meow for all her over the top opulence and sense of humor…but…she may have an iota of a dark side creeping in…we’ll see what happens.

    I don’t think Lisa was stirring the pot, I think she was trying to get Kim to tell the truth. Unless there was a different episode on, Kim bailed at lunch time and Lisa and Ken met up with Yolonda. Kim insisting that she was with them all day and until 5 pm was insane and what Lisa was trying to get her to either admit or see. Kim was playing poor me, Lisa is trying to make me look bad, I don’t know why she is doing this to me. Kim, is the only person making Kim look bad.

    Then you find out on WWHL that Kim does admit she is on medication to help her stay “sober” but she was taking the wrong combination and that was what was making her act funny. It supposedly will be addressed at the reunion.

      I think Bravo is trying to put Lisa in a bad light to redeem Kyle. Just my opinion. New here, be kind. Left another site because of the bullying (by the blog owner no less!).

        I’ve heard rumors that Kyle helped cast the show. Her image has taken a beating this season but I don’t see her being kicked off any time soon. Producers will probably try to give her a softer edit or dirty Lisa up a bit. From watching WWHL it’s pretty clear Kyle is an Andy favorite a la Bethenny.

    I wasn’t surprised to see Lisa picking on Kim. She’s done it in the past. Often when speaking of Kim she rolls her eyes. I don’t know what their personal interactions are, so I won’t judge, but there’s no doubting that Lisa has little affection for Kim.

    I’m team Lisa for calling Kim out on her BS. She’s clearly relapsed, everyone knows it, and you’re not supposed to enable an addict. She’s gotta get active in her sobriety and the people in her life need to hold her accountable. Al Anon anyone?

      Sometimes alcoholics have damaged their bodies so badly they require medication for life that can make them seem loopy just to keep them from having seizures. Obviously I don’t know what Kim is really on or doing. Just saying that treating an alcoholic is a tricky situation for a doctor. It takes the body on average 7 years to reach its new normal after the alcoholic stops drinking.

    This is my second time posting here. Love your blog… you don’t blog in some made up language and you stay on topic – thank you for that 🙂
    Not to defend Kim (her past kills her credibility), but some people do not need pain meds after surgery. My previous boss bragged about not taking any painkillers after her hysterectomy. My mom was prescribed a heavy painkiller after her surgery (breast implants) and she took only 5 out of 30 pills. Now both of these women do not have a history with drug abuse, and they did not have a nose job. I cant imagine the pain from a nose job… just thinking about it makes me queasy >.< I've had 3 surgeries and I can't imagine not taking pain meds to get through the pain. Someone who has an addictive history would have a hard time with this. I would imagine Kim would battle her conscience with good, legitimate reasons on why it is okay to take the prescribed medication. I think she excused herself and took them.

    I feel like kim may have relapsed after her nose job… its clearly evident unfortunately.

    I feel like Lisa has maybe has become a bit tired of Kim and Kyle’s antics, its like the same ol same ol everytime the group goes somewhere drama seems to insue Kyle tries to make drama out of hair flips and usualy has clay face the guard dog Faye Resnick bite anyone she actually doesnt like, kim cant figure out what day sunday is or when the sun comes up. She brings the goups mood down with her repeated slurr filled story of how she’s happy she’s sober… how ever true or rather flase that may be

    Imagine having to actually have planed a fun trip with the girls only to repeatedly have a big argument chalk full of hypocrisy ,lies and the ever present law suit…

    The more I look at it the more RHOBH looks more and more like that show that just recycles the same story line over and over for each episode and season…

    Ugh

    Lisa ,Yolanda and Brandi are the only anchor’s Bravo has on me that even remotely give me the slightest ounce of entertainment

    Finally watching. Was painful to see Kim wasted on something. Sure, now we know from her blog last week it was a medication mix up but still, she was the same old Kim we saw season 2.

    Love camaraderie between Lisa, Yolanda and Brandi. They are fabulous together. I truly hope Yolanda returns for the next season so we really get to know her.

    Kyle saying “you only have room for Brandi” is quite childish and pathetic. For starters, as far as the show goes, she’s also close with Yolanda. Also, those two have “had her back” and Kyle as we all know never has and never will.

    Also love Ken and Mauricio both this week. Mauricio was back to looking good/healthy in his talking heads, quite different than in the actual episodes he’s appeared in most of the season thus far.
