We begin with the physical altercation between Brandi and Kyle in which a perfectly good piece of pizza was thrown to the ground. Kim recognizes the severity of the issue when she asks what happened to her slice and Brandi nonchalantly admits to throwing it on the ground. Kyle and Kim have a discussion in high pitched crying voices that makes zero sense. The two new girls creep around trying to listen outside the line of fire. Brandi, realizing that she is not on camera once again tries to insert herself into a conversation between the two sisters. Lisa tries to get Brandi away from them and Kim’s cheese slides even further off her cracker. She is now accusing Lisa of saying something to Kyle about the car ride from hell.
Brandi grabs Kyle by the wrists and yells at her. I would have punched her right then and there. BAM! Right in the kisser. Brandi continues to scream at Kyle saying she does nothing for her sister and is never there for her. Vince is hilariously peeping through the garage door window. Brandi gives talking heads where she says Kyle is a worthless sister. Brandi whines about a scratch on her arm. She says it is swelling and she is going to kill Kyle. Eileen says, “How about a little Neosporin? Get a grip!” I love Eileen.
Lisa rides home with Kyle who is still crying. Kim seems to want to leave with Kyle but Brandi is literally holding her back and telling her Kyle is a bad person. What a fucking loser Brandi is.
The two addicts leave together. Brandi tells Kim she is not making sense. Lisa tells Kyle that Brandi needs rehab. Kim has no idea where she is or what just happened. It’s all very sad.
Eileen and Vince drink some wine after everyone left. Eileen has sisters and she has been in fights with her sisters before but not as grown ass women. Vince is flabbergasted.
Yolanda
Yo looks beautiful. She calls Bella so that Bella can mention she is going out with Tallulah and Demi later.
We have a rare on camera appearance by Yolanda’s son, Anwar. He sure does come from the same stunning gene pool as the rest of her kids. He seems like a good kid.
Lisa Vanderpump
Lisa is back from vacation. Lisa gets another dog. I think that makes 6.
Eileen tries to make it past Lisa’s guard swans to pay a visit. She fills Lisa in on Kim’s condition at her party in the nicest possible way. Eileen says she doesn’t know Kim well enough to make a judgement. Eileen tells Lisa that Brandi insulted her home and she is confused. She doesn’t understand the source of Brandi’s attacks on her.
Eileen gets her first peek at Lisa’s closet and has the expected response.
Brandi Glanville
Brandi’s friend Jen. She admits that Kim has fallen off the wagon. Kim’s face is hugely injected in the scene, and not as much in her talking heads. Jen tries to suggest that Brandi work things out with Kyle but it goes right over Brandi’s airhead.
Kyle Richards
Kyle tells Mauricio Kim is in the hospital. She is not sure why. She says that Monty called and says he took her to Cedar-Sinai. Wait, Monty took Kim to the hospital? Was there no actual caregiver in place for him that could have called someone? Supposedly she was in a lot of pain. They think she may have an ulcer. Kyle is still not acknowledging that Kim relapsed.
Kyle is rushing to get ready for Lisa’s event. Yolanda shows up to go with her. Kyle tells Yo about Brandi’s behavior. Yolanda is wearing a strapless top with a sweater tied around her neck. I don’t get this look. Yo talks about adult women drinking and brawling and how grown women with children should not do such things. Well, Yo, she’s your friend.
Lisa Rinna
Kyle calls Lisa who is at her beautiful house. I love her patio with all the plants and comfy outdoor furniture. Everyone is supposed to be at Lisa’s charity event together soon.
Lisa is getting her jewelry party for Breast Cancer ready. She’s wearing a shirt that says, “I told my therapist about you!” I want that shirt.
I just love Lisa’s home. And Lisa. She is so beautiful. Brandi arrives first wearing some sort of bizarre denim shirt dress that makes her look pregnant and cowboy boots. She says she has back to school night with the boys and this is her appropriate attire. Lisa seems confused as to why she thinks it is appropriate. Brandi says it is appropriate for her school, because her kids are in public school. Yo and Kyle arrive and Kyle skirts around Brandi and busies herself with the jewelry. Denise Richards comes to the party. Lisa and Eileen arrive together.
Kyle still is not saying what is going on with Kim. Very vague answers.
Yolanda asks Brandi what happened at Eileen’s party. Yolanda asks if she was drinking. Brandi says of course she was, it was a party! Yolanda says she is not allowed to get drunk. Brandi says she can do whatever the fuck she wants and she is not in the mood for a lecture. Oh my, Brandi. You are really going to cut off Yolanda who has stuck by you throughout your disgusting behavior? You’re going to tie yourself to Kim Richards this season instead? In Yolanda’s talking head she says if Brandi thinks she is mothering her maybe she should act like an adult and not a child. It seem Yolanda is finally seeing the light.
Kyle says something about doing a gay mixer. The invite says bring your tops and bottoms. Poor Lisa must not have a gay best friend. I hope she finds one immediately. She has no idea what that means. Lisa is adorable and self-depreciating in her talking head. She claims she does have gay people in her life. But I’m not convinced.
Lisa Vanderpump asks Denise Richards if she was married to Charlie Sheen. Lisa is somehow trying to bond with Denise because Denise fosters a lot of dogs. Denise would make a great housewife. Lisa says that both her car and Charlie’s were stolen and driven off a cliff. Weird party chatter to be sure.
The party is a success. Apparently it is not all costume as Kyle is asking about rose gold versus yellow gold. The designer suggests rose. I say yellow.
Eileen seeks out Brandi and Yolanda is there. Eileen confronts Brandi over the comments about her house and asks what is up with her rude behavior. As soon as Yolanda hears that she excuses herself from the conversation. Eileen said she let it go but Brandi was very loud and there was a lot of cussing and her son was upstairs and it was kind of disrespectful. Brandi in her I Dream of Genie talking head, says the word fuck eleventy billion times and says she should have had a nanny take the kid out of the house. Eileen asks if there was a reason she seems to be so antagonistic toward her. Brandi says she likes Eileen and she apologizes if she offended her. Brandi says she is not a mean girl. She apologizes again if she offended her. Eileen says in her talking head that Brandi is attracted to chaos.
Kyle and Lisa Vanderpump make a plan to for a drink at Villa Blanca afterward. Brandi leaves to go to her school function.
At Villa Blanca Kyle tells Lisa what is going on with Brandi. Kyle says she is done with her and she does not trust her. Lisa commiserates with Kyle and says she does not trust her either. Brandi is not happy unless she is provoking someone. Kyle does not want to forgive Kyle. Lisa is worried about Kim getting hurt.
Next Week: The Kim drama continues. Kim says she doesn’t remember much about the party. Kyle seems not to know why. Is Kyle really that much in denial? Brandi is all too happy to fill Kim in with her version. In other news, Lisa’s adopted son Max wants to know his name from before he was adopted and Lisa will not tell him. She does not want him searching for his bio family. Wow. That’s a very personal thing for reality TV. Kyle prepares for her Hollywood gay mixer. One of her gay friends bemoans the lack of tops in West Hollywood. They should import from Atlanta. We have plenty. Brandi shows up at Kyle’s party uninvited and threatens to knock Kyle’s teeth out. Kyle tells Brandi she is not wanted. Brandi says neither is she, she should ask her husband. #Burn Then Kyle and Kim have another crying fight and Kyle give Kim the DOUBLE bird and screams fuck you! After asking is she is going to let Brandi come between them.
Side Note: I will recap WWHL with Eileen tomorrow. It’s been a long day of Jodi Arias trial posts and I will do a better job fresh tomorrow.
When Eileen confronted Brandi at Lisa’s party, I loved how uncomfortable Brandi was. Her eyes were rolling all over the place looking at anything she possibly could besides Eileen.
Lisa R can just ask her agent to explain the “tops and bottoms” bit. He is as gay as gay can be!
I think that’s rather crude for Kyle to put on an invitation though – even if it’s all in good fun. Perhaps next time she should do a baseball theme (pitchers/catchers) or football (tight ends/wide receivers) it’d be a tad more clever.
Kim has never seemed so fucked up on camera as she was in the car ride home with Brandi. On Kyle’s ride home she looked so uncomfortable when Lisa R was talking about addiction the whole way home. Kyle barely commented on it.
I think Kyle is afraid to admit/agree on camera about kim relapsing bc of the possible repercussions from Kim and the rest of their family. Just a guess…
She’s also been accused of making Kim’s addiction a storyline in the past. So I could see why she would shy away.
I thought Lisa’s comments in the limo with Kyle there were a bit inappropriate. I love Rinna but Kyle was crying and it was the wrong time and place.

It seemed to me that Rinna was trying to create drama for the camera. Kyle was obviously not responding and not interested and she kept on going saying dramatic sh*t. “There were drugs involved aaaannnnd….it needs to be revealed: *dramatic pause*
I love Eileen tho. She seems like she sees it all.
Totally agree!
Agreed here. That car ride was really awkward. Still love Lisa R, but she did tiptoe across the line of appropriate.
Lisa R’s comments cannot be more inappropriate than the car ride she experienced to Malibu with Kim.
I’m glad Lisa R addressed the elephant in the room (I believe Brandi’s is pink)-enough already. She said what everyone knows, but Kyle’s denial is still palpable and she needs to stop protecting Kim.
OMG Vince looking through the window was the best moment of the night! Eileen telling brandi to get a grip was the 2nd! Love them! Poor Kim, this has to be painful for her to watch and even more so for her kids; it’s almost too dark to watch. I really hate Brandi, can Claudia fly back to BH and put her in her place bc none of these ladies are doing it. Hopefully it’s coming…. Her comment about Kyles husband on the next episode is way below the belt. Any tea on if all the cheating rumors are true?
Um, I have some sources on that tea, yes. Allegedly, Maurico is fond of Vegas….

I would like to know more but I feel bad about wanting to know lol! I like Kyle and Kyle and Mauricio as a couple and hope he at least has the decency to hide it well. Sigh, are there any good, faithful men in the world?
I suspected that Mauricio has strayed. If true and Kyle is ok with it, then who am I to judge? Lots of marriages are open, or partially open, and it seems to work for them. It’s all about transparency/honesty.
Kyle will never forgive Brandi on that one. #burn
I guess it doesn’t matter how beautiful you are. Poor Kyle.
Transtastic tea? Inquiring minds are so thirsty.
Yeah Alexa and I have him. He is the best husband in the world. If I could only figure out how to clone him I know I would be a billionaire in a week. I’m disabled now and he takes care of me but even before I was, he was the kind that brought me breakfast in bed, opened my door after 15 years and he still calls me his bride/best friend. When he’s not working, we are together unless I want to do something with the girls without him and then he stays home and takes care of the dogs. So there are good, honest, faithful men out there. They are just like handicapped parking spaces…just a few of them and most of them are taken. Lol
And I feel blessed to have his brother Hannahkingrose. After 13yrs in a disastrous marriage then several years living it up & loving single life (& swearing NEVER again) — out of the shadows, when I least expected it, came Mr. Tall, Dark & Handsome (aka Mr. Wonderful). Neither of us were looking for a intimate connection (he had also been burned in the past), but we became fast friends — inseparable. Then 1yr later a spark fueled a kiss & the rest is history. Even when he thinks you’re sleeping or when you lose your hair from illness, there’s something about a guy that 15yrs later, still calls you “Gorgeous” everyday. I wouldn’t trade him for a billion dollars (or even a spot on the Real Housewives franchise). (>‿◠)
addie2u, I think we found the answer. My husband is also my 2nd after a disastrous 1st marriage. I was of the same mind…you couldn’t run fast enough to give me another man. The only things I needed men for were sex and moving heavy objects lol. Then along came my husband and without even trying he made me believe in unconditional love again. Two years later we were married. That was 1995 and now we’ve been together longer than my 1st marriage with 2 kids lasted. A good rule to follow in a marriage is if you wouldn’t do it to your best friend, then don’t do it to your spouse and if you would do it for your best friend, then do it for your spouse.
It is so past time for Kyle to cut the cord. Kim delights in seeing Kyle cry, she is justified somehow when she sees her sister in pain, because she is, and someone is going to pay, and by default Kyle is the recipient. I kind of hate Kim at this point because I see her being malicious.
They’re malicious to each other. The most annoying co-dependent, whiny sisters on earth.
I agree but to play devil’s advocate, if Kyle did that the backlash from the less informed viewing majority (not the intelligent commenters here) would cripple her. She really takes all of the blogs/comments/tweets to heart, more so than other housewives. So I suspect that for her own sanity she won’t be able to cut Kim off anytime soon.
I don’t see Kyle doing anything real drastic like divorcing Kim from her life forever. I am pretty happy she is going to give Kim the DOUBLE bird and a hearty ‘fuck you’ next week though 🙂
Kyle shouldn’t be worried about backlash from viewers,and if she is then more pity on her.
Kyle needs to contact Al-anon to stop the passive/agressive co-dependent behavior that she and Kim engage in. She does not help the situation. I’m not hating on Kyle because I know she truly loves her sister. Kyle states she doesn’t know what to do with Kim when she’s “acting off”, so she needs to get off her duff and find out! Does Kim have a therapist or sober coach?
Okay I actually just watched that episode from the begining ( qualifier, i’ve barely watched RHOBH since season one and I hated kyle). But Kyle didn’t do anything wrong. I didnt realize Brandi was all chummy with Kyle an hour before all of this nonsense. And so was Kim. Pure craziness.
It always made me so uncomfortable after Kim came out of rehab and still seemed to harbor so much animosity and resentment towards Kyle… The calm, the acceptance, the peace.. never seemed to be there.
She never truly healed, as taking responsibility is a major part of that. She can never accept responsibility – last reunion she couldn’t even acknowledge that she hurt others, saying she hurt herself most of all.
I agree, to me it demonstrated she never took full responsibility of her addiction
I can’t take Brandi in that one talking head with that high ponytail and breast-baring red pirate’s blouse. The woman dresses like she was drunk in the dark…which she likely was.
That’s her I dream of Genie outfit!

Comparing Brandi to a Genie is perfect, considering she lives in a bottle…
I hate that outfit/costume. If she was dressed and made up by Bravo to look like that it would be epicly funny. Sadly I suspect Brandi’s gay roomate is the one to blame.
FormerLurker just killed me
Hahahaha good one!
I think she’s trying to look like Ariana Grande.
I think more attention should be paid to the perfection that was Former Lurker’s comment.
Eww I hate that outfit, I hate everything about her look in that series of talking heads! 1 – her eyes are weirdly squinty either due to too much fillers or making the most evil face she possibly can…likely both 2 – the dress/necklace combo looks so trashy and poorly thought out. Not just slutty, trashy as in super cheap and bad quality. 3 – the WAY too open deep V that shows the inner part of her breasts almost to the nipple…and she’s slouching so her boobs look like pancakes like they do when we lay on our backs. Ugh, not cute!
That Barbarella bullshit.
Remember when Bravo put Teresa in that god awful feather collared black velvet dress, slicked her hair back and f’d up her makeup for her talking heads a few seasons ago? I still think the stylists did that for shits and giggles, or Teresa pissed off the wrong person. I see a similar scenario with Brandi in this I Dream of Jeanie mess.
Bravo, FormerLurker!! That was clever!
@tulsa ~ and let’s not forget our most recent, Mz Nene Leakes wearing a dutch boy/ramen noodle wig, with a very manly five o’clock shadow! Teresa was bad though, REAL bad. Still, I have to give the #1 all time worst talking head look to Nene, she absolutely looked so stupid, that it’s hilarious!
I imagine her kids are embarrassed here and there. The kids at school hear their parents talking about her and then proceed to bully her kids. Happens all the time.
Watching Brandi put her arm out to block Kyle from Kim infuriated me again. She was acting like a jealous boyfriend by trying to keep them apart. What the hell?!
I think the whole hospital thing may be a lie to cover the relapse. What does pain from bronchitis have to do with an ulcer? Kyle’s covering up because she got reamed for outing Kim’s addiction and doesnt want to say anything that Kim can get angry at later.
She was in the hospital for 8 days, the exact amount of days for a detox.
What a good point. If it is true. I don’t know much about detox programs. 🙂
There are no EXACT amount of days for a detox. Every program/ person/ addiction is different.
LOL where the hell did you pull that number from?
Yes, detox is typically a week, then you move on to rehab. At least for the addict in my family it’s ALWAYS been a week. I can’t speak for drugs other than meth/crack/marijuana.
Perhaps the hospital visit was a ruse to get more pain killers?
@sam
BINGO! I also thought that this is probably an imaginated illness to justify her relapse and probably get more pain killers.
And Kyle is really in denial.
Kyle is a bit like Teresa in the sense that neither of them can really quite admit that there is something REALLY wrong.
She is a classic co-dependent. And I agree with the previous poster that she needs Alanon but I am sure she has already been to Alanon. She has been around this shit her whole life. It must be very frustrating.
Thats the first thing I suspected, drug seeking behaviour. Kim was drunk too but I see the prescription drugs get more of a pass, especially with Kyle. Ok whatever, how dumb can we be?
I feel like it’s almost an alibi too for her behavior at poker night. Seems everyone gets a pass on a crazy night if they claim a medical issue or go to rehab right afterward. “She wasn’t drunk, she was just in SO MUCH PAIN!!!!”
That may be true and plausible. Cannot understand for the life of me why Kyle covers up for Kim. Seems like it is almost ingrained in her. She just needs to let go and ask herself “How will this change my life?”. The truth is it can only help her to quit enabling.
If you have chronic bronchitis, you can end up with pneumonia which causes mucus to accumulate in your lungs and bacteria to replicate itself. That can cause a lot of pain. It is also common for alcoholics to get aspiration pneumonia, wherein food from the stomach or mouth goes down the windpipe, directly into the lungs. This can cause excruciating pain.
My guess is that it was her alcoholism to cause her illness and/or pain.
At the reunion last season, she was by all accounts sober, but she seemed to have a condition where you’d describe her as a ‘dry’ drunk. She has gotten past detox, but hasn’t gone through the 12 step program wherein she must take accountability for her actions/behaviors/consequences.
Kim uses liquor to self-medicate.
I also think that Kyle and Kim are both equally dysfunctional. Both of them always play the victim. It is well-documented that Kim was the bread winner of the Richards family during her childhood. She afforded them a much better life than they would have had if not for her. It’s sort of like a Lindsay Lohan situation or a Miley Cyrus scenario. Both sets of parents are screwed up, have no ambition and depend on the proceeds of their child to sustain the entire family. The oldest sister, Kathy married a Hilton. She’s the one whose daughter is Paris Hilton. I think she has a detached relationship from the other two because of her ‘standing’ or the one she believes to have in her social circles. Kathy is also quite successful on her own. She has a thriving brand of wedding dresses for the bridal party and evening dresses that are quite beautiful. She has sold many skincare lines, etc in the past.
I agree with you on Kim and Kyle. What kills me is Kyle lies about her mom and makes it seem like Kim’s problems are not rooted in that screwed up childhood or I should say no childhood because Kim was busy working all the way thru it.
I guess lisa r really wanted kyle to know kim was not sober.
Did anyone catch brandi say hi mommy to yolanda but then the moment they sat down and yolanda lectured her, brandi didn’t want the mothering ? Like yolanda and lvp said before if you don’t want someone to mother you then don’t act like a child.
Also I can’t wait for next week, I really feel bad for kyle and brandi seriously went below the belt. She knows Mauricio’s alleged infidelity is a sore spot for kyle and she went there.
And you would think someone who is still, years and years later, bitching about their ex husband cheating, and claiming to be an advocate for victims of cheating wouldn’t use that as an insult!! Brandi is such a stupid bitch.
Alexa… great point. My husband died 5 years ago and I think it is comparable to Brandi’s divorce from a cheating hubby. But I would NEVER make some comment that “Kyle’s husband died to get away from her”, or “No wonder Kyle’s husband died.”, etc. So this seems like Brandi is not really in pain from the divorce/cheating anymore. Brandi is such a stupid ass.
Yes, and not to back to last year (but I will lol) it was Brandi who brought up the cheating rumors when they were all around the table at Carlton’s place.
I realize most of the show’s drama isn’t “real” but good grief Brandi just revels in being the nasty-mouthed guttersnipe for it all to be fake.
My 2 favorite comments of the night: 1) Eileen telling Brandi and Kim outside her house that they were drama queens and Brandi thinking Eileen was referring to Kyle. . .2) Lisa at Villa Blanca saying to Kyle that Brandi seeks attention so much because it maybe makes her feel more important than she is. Burn.
I have a sister-in-law like Brandi – minus the beautiful face and figure – and while it took a few years, we finally figured her out. Toxic doesn’t begin to describe her or the havoc that ensues when she is around. She cozies up to the vulnerable, sucks them dry, then exploits them.
Did I mention she is no longer invited to the family reunions?
My mother is an RN and spent her career in the psych field. She calls this type a person “an emotional vampire” lol.
Sadly, I have a sister and niece that do they same thing. So we have had little to no interaction in the past 15 years. It was very sad for me because I love them very much, but my life is my calmer being away from that situation.
Fitting description!
Neither answer is good — if no, that means she’s playing dumb for the cameras. If yes, then she’s too stupid to tolerate. Either way it annoys me because it’s all just so sad and pathetic. It’s just like her telling Kim “are you going to let her [Brandi] come between us?” Seriously — as I’ve said — Brandi is horrid and I wouldn’t want her around me or anyone I cared about — but Kyle knows her sister was an addict and their relationship was messed up long before they even met Brandi (season 1 back of limo “you stole me house!”) It’s the exact scenario with Kim’s ex-con boyfriend a few seasons back. It’s sad but it’s not anything that I enjoy watching play out on TV. I get reality tv is a voyeuristic experience but this one is just icky. I don’t know if I’m more mad at Bravo for showing it, Kyle and Kim for allowing it to be shown or myself for watching. But let’s be honest — I’m not going to blame myself.
I really cannot comprehend why Brandi wants to put herself in the middle of this mess but what Eileen said about her liking chaos makes sense. I also like what Eileen said to the effect of “I don’t know who started the drama, but I know who’s keeping it going.” I’ll co-sign that, expect I’d amend it to say “I don’t know how the drama between Kyle and Kim started, but I know who’s keeping it going.”
Brandi assigned herself Kim’s savior because she is a fucktard and all the classy women have already figured her out. LisaR and Eileen are light years smarter than LisaV and Yolanda ever thought about being. Yolanda seems to be in the throes of understanding, maybe there is hope for her too. Brandi IS toxic to relationships, she IS a mean girl. There is nothing that is low blow enough for this human excrement, and she is using Kim because she HAS no one else. I can understand Kyle not wanting to fuck with Brandi one iota concerning Kim. She isn’t family, and she has a horrible delivery, not to mention the fact that she’s skanky…lol.
I couldn’t believe how tightly she grabbed Kyle’s wrists in the next episode so that she cannot move. Again! She puts her hands on Kyle. You knw that if it weren’t for this show Kyle would have a restraining order.
I generally agree, but I don’t know about that ^^ — Brandi seems to have gotten worse/more self-destructive as the fame has gone to her head, IMO. Brandi wasn’t throwing drinks in people’s faces out of nowhere while giggling when she first came on. Plus, Eileen and LisaR have the benefit of seeing her in previous seasons.
I don’t blame Kyle whatsoever for not wanting to deal with Brandi in this situation — but I can’t help feeling it’s a little bit of karma biting Kyle’s ass for teaming up with Brandi last season over that whole stupid “Lisa put the magazines in my suitcase” foolishness.
It’s just that Brandi was considered ‘friends’ by Lisa, as well as Yolanda. Brandi has always been outrageous, her cracked up behavior is nothing new. That’s why Lisa finally dumped her, but it took a minute. I agree LisaR and Eileen did have the advantage of seasons past, and yes, Brandi has to get REALLY crank it up because she has no friends, except for Kim, and she doesn’t count. Yolanda doesn’t count either 🙂
Brandi’s “I’m a struggling single mother whose husband left me publicly” act was still “new” when Lisa & Ken took her in — I think they felt more sorry for her/wanted to help her. Plus, she *was* unfairly ganged up on at that Game Night when her crutches were hid, etc. I hate to admit that now in retrospect after all the crap she’s pulled — that’s why I say she’s gotten worse since the fame went to her head, but maybe she just fooled me too like she did Ken & Lisa.
Lisa Vanderpump LOVED Brandi’s “cracked up behavior” and got a back seat ride full of giggles at at everyone else’s expense, whoever Brandi was targeting at the time — she only had the problem when it turned on HER.
I really try to like LVP, and do sometimes, but I just can’t shake the underlying weirdness that she so consistently pairs herself with these younger, insane assholes (Cedric, Brandi, Stassi, anyone from the cast of VR really) that, for lack of a better explanation, act as her little attractive posse of mouth pieces.
And I actually do believe she told Brandi to bring the magazines. I could see it being a joke or just an off handed comment -not some huge deal that Brandi made it out to be just to use it against her – but could you really not just see her kind of lightly knodding towards a stack of magazines saying “you should rip one of those out while we’re there” accompanied by a laugh.
Why does everybody keep pulling the “mouth piece” card?? Maybe that’s why Brandi has a hard time taking responsibility for her issues because she pins it on someone else. Brandi is a middle aged grown woman…she did all that behavior by herself. Who is she the mouth piece for in this season where she is throwing wine, slapping, & pushing several women?
And if Lisa did say it jokingly, I feel Lisa would’ve admitted that. It wouldn’t be the first time someone has gotten offended by her jokes. Other women were there and nobody else saw it. Carlton said Lisa arrived late & was the last person to show up to Brandi’s house and didn’t go further than the front steps before they all left for the trip. So when did it happen? Brandi made up the lie to destroy the relationship that Lisa & Kyle had begun mending because she was insecure & jealous. Now she’s doing it again this season with Kyle & Kim and planting seeds that Kyle doesn’t really care for Kim. Her agenda is so obvious. She is a liar.
@Psylocke ~ Yep, I agree with you. Brandi was all fun and games when Lisa still had use for her. The bloom has been off the Lisa rose for a good while now (for me). I still like Lisa because she is sort of fabulous, but I find her passive-aggressive, in a very stealth kind of way.
Like I said, “for lack of a better explanation” — and I certainly didnt say Brandi wasn’t to blame for her own actions, I don’t know where you pulled that out of — but she KNEW Brandi constantly hits below the belt and gets a high off being the blunt/unfiltered bitch, so all it takes is filling her with the information she needs to rip on someone.
Like Kyle said herself, with Adrienne and Lisa it was a battle of the queens bees — Lisa didnt like her, so she filled Brandi in on all the skeletons, and just had to wait for it to eventually come out. Once again – that doesn’t excuse Brandi – but Lisa knew her personality and used it in her favor. Adrienne left, and she got exactly what she wanted. It’s admirable in a sick, Lifetime movie sort of way.
I just think that’s a really naive stance to believe that Lisa would tell the truth in that magazine situation. She was starting to repair the whole Kyle thing when Brandi put her on the spot in front of everyone, she pretty much HAD to lie about it, and then had to keep that lie up or look crazy. I really don’t care what Carlton did or didn’t see, she had a horrible season and I don’t blame her for not wanting to admit it and go against the LVP legions.
This show has always been about the allegiances — just like when Lisa pretended to not believe Kyle when she said Yolanda called her an asshole or something like that at the reunion. She clearly said it, there’s no reason Kyle would randomly make that up, but Yolanda was riding her first season high, Lisa was not friends with Kyle at the time, so she really had no reason to admit to believing it. That’s just the way these bitches work.
….and now I feel like I just recapped this entire series.
Angie… stop it! Stop reading my mind! I am starting to wonder if we are twins separated at birth. Your comments tonight are perfection!! I am dying LOL.
Cavex/angie – Me too, I was just thinking to myself that I always agree with angie’s comments. I think tabloidgate was sparked by a joking comment of Lisa’s but she felt so sidelined that she couldn’t even admit to joking about it. It never would have had so much publicity if Brandi hadn’t brough it up in PR, and Kyle and Mauricio hadn’t reacted SO loudly and defensively. I’m sure any one of them has some rumor of cheating at any given time. Take it as a compliment that people are interested in you, dismiss it as nonsense from people who know nothing about you, and move on…
Wonder how it ended with Kim’s boyfriend? I didnt know much about him, except Kyle and her kids didnt like him. Kim I dont think Is able to sustain relationships and that flaky act must get old.
I think Kim ended up in the hospital with pancreatitis. She has too many stressors and I think she is self medicating by drinking. Brandi is a toxic personality the girls need to watch out! I predict she is trying to secure her relationship with Kim by turning her against her family, isolate the women, and lead kim down the path of self destruction…
I had a friend who drank so much he was hospitalized with pancreatitis. He was in the hospital forever, nearly died, now has diabetes and has been told that if he drinks again he will die. If Kim has pancreatitis, she’s in bad shape. But they say alcohol will kill women a lot faster than it does men.
@ Joann: You might be spot on. That would cause Kim pain and be reason for her hospitalization. I think Lisa R called out her behavior for two reasons: 1. She’s comfy on camera, and 2. She said Harry had (2?) brothers that died of alcoholism.
I loved when Brandi was complaining about her scratch and Eileen said, “Get some Neosporin.” Perfect reply.
Yes! I live for Rinna. She put Kyle on the spot and she is so right! There is addiction and people need to talk about it. Kyle needs to talk about it. Brandi, needs to jump off the nearest bridge. Preferably the overpass of a busy high way. She is a waste of space and good pair of legs. Kim is playing Brandi like a fiddle.
I agree and also agree that Lisa R. and Eileen are smarter and more true to themselves than the other ladies. I cant see them putting up with Brandi yelling and cursing at Joyce like those others did. I think the new ladies are stand up gals who wouldnt want anything to do with cruel lashing out behaviour (even if its not directed at them) because their decency and integrity isnt up for grabs. What Lisa said about Kim was the truth. Kim was so bizarre in the limo, she obviously is seriously fucked up. She’s probably going to die while everyone’s tippy toeing around.
Now I just want pizza.
I’ll join you, love thin crust w/chicken and artichoke.
Brooklyn.
Chicken and artichoke – so obviously California :-). Make mine pepperoni and jalapeno.
Yolanda seeing the light? What a hypocrite. Didn’t she criticise Lisa in a past season for ‘mothering’ Brandi and letting her be ‘her own woman’? Am I crazy?
You may be crazy, but you are correct on this. That is exactly what Yolanda criticized Lisa about just last season.
Wrong. Yolanda has ALWAYS chastised Brandi on her drinking habits. Her criticism of Lisa mothering Brandi wasn’t strictly about her drinking habits.
That wasn’t the question. The question was about the “mothering/stop acting like a child” comment.
Denise needs to be a housewife. She can take Yolanda’s position. Is it me or is Yolanda and Lisa Vanderpump not as involved this season? They seem to film a lot with their husbands and kids more than the other ladies. Maybe it was just because neither of them were at the poker party? Denise vs Brandi would be epic. Also I’m sure she would have a few choice words for the addicts on the show.
Denise vs. Brandi really would be epic, because Denise has just as foul a mouth as Brandi, if not worse. The fights would be amazing. I mostly love Denise, but I was also appalled at her behavior when she had her own show. Now I think she would be perfect for THIS show.
Also Denise is intelligent. So watching her argue circles around Brandi; who would be heavily intoxicated, would be glorious.
popcorn and vodka: Not to mention the fact that Denise Richards was seeing and sleeping with her best friends husband while they were still married. The best friend being Heather Locklear and the husband being Richie Sambora. That would be gold,
I mean, Brandi IS the self-appointed head of the fidelity police.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Denise is in next year and Eileen is not. I mean I love Eileen but I think after having to deal with Brandi she’ll just say that 750K isn’t worth it.
Eileen has big drama with Kim and Brandi coming up.
I watched Denise’s reality show on E from years back. She is super nice but very whiney. If she went after Brandi, I’m all for it.
Id rather see Denise replace Brandi because she’s like the more attractive, successful, less trashy version of her anyway
OMG Brandi is disgusting with her low-blow about Mauricio. Wow, people should know better than to fight with Brandi. She’ll always hit below the belt. Disgusting.
Agreed. I’ve had enough of her. I watch Celebrity Apprentice too and seeing her twice a week is making me nauseous.
Here I was hoping she would be a positive influence this episode and make the right decisions. Ha! Why do I bother? One step forward, a giant leap back.
Yes, Brandi was great last week, and she erased all the good she did with vile behavior and comments. Everything that’s true doesn’t need to be said. I can be like Brandi at times. If someone slaps me, I’m not going to slap them back, I’m going to take a bat to the face, but I don’t put myself in positions where that side comes out, and Brandi needs to learn to not be so malicious in her attacks!
UGH Poor Kyle and Kim!!
A little touch of irony, hmmmm?
I don’t think Kyle “teamed up” with Brandi last season over magazinegate. Kyle still thought Brandi was her friend and that she was telling the truth about Lisa. She is guilty of being a dumb ass, but I am sure she sees that now. Brandi’s cheating comment was unconscionable for a woman who has been cheated on her own damn self.
Kyle and Brandi were *never* friends *until* magazinegate, so there is no way Kyle “still thought Brandi was her friend.”
They became “friends” solely because of magazinegate.
That’s just the facts; not personal opinion.
True. Which is why it must have hurt that tiny bit more when Brandi made the husband cheating comment in the next episode. Kyle never catches a break on this show.
Magazinegate has to be the stupidest “gate” ever. Seems to me like a vacation where they’re stuck together in some gorgeous villa would require the reading of gossip mags.
I see.
Kyle and Brandi were not friends until they bonded to take down Lisa. Brandi used her pattern of outing someone’s transgression to isolate them from the group and bond with the supposed victim. She bonded with LVP by claiming the other women were planning to gang up on her at a reunion and endeared herself to Kyle with magazinegate. What I find interesting is that Kyle keeps accusing LVP of holding a grudge because she is ignoring Brandi but she reacted the exact same way after Brandi victimized her. KARMA always gets you!
The real victims of the episode were off camera. Brandi’s kids’ teachers were in for it, not only by being forced to see the tacky get-up Brandi was wearing (as we were) but her foul mood after getting bitch-slapped by Eileen and Yolanda at the event.
When the girls film a scene, they hire their own makeup and wardrobe stylists. When they do the talking heads, Bravo people style them. That’s why they look so out of character in those. I can’t remember if it’s their own clothes or Bravo brings them in.
I think it is their own clothes. I have seen Lisa V wear that fuschia pink top and green dress elsewhere.
My favorite part???!! ……Without a doubt—Vince a creepin’ and a peepin’ thru the windows of the garage door. Don’t believe me?? Watch it again and experience pure Comedy Gold. This poor husband is wondering “What the hell have I gotten myself into?
The garage peeper.
Maisey,
I totally got that impression from Vince and Eileen when they were having their wine. They both had their “what am I doing here?” moment.
That WAS funny! Somebody needs to put a hose on that stray dog Brandi to get it out of their yard!
Lisa doesn’t want Max searching for his bio parents because Ken is one of them.
I would believe that.
Whoa!! What??
Yes
Or she is concerned his biological reletives will see the episode and will realise he is related to them and come out of the heavily manicured shrubbery looking for a handout. In her position I would be careful about discussing his previous name on television.
Max truly went from the frying pan to the fire. He was BARELY on the show, now he is searching for his parents? This is such a personal thing. I’m a bit shocked.
TT, do you have any tea on his biological parents?
I’m probably wrong, but didn’t Lisa say something about sharing Max with his biological mom in the first or second season? For some reason, I remember her saying something weird like that, that he knows his mom and sometimes goes and visits her.
Meh, I’m probably imagining things again.
I don’t think that Max favors Ken, so I don’t think he’s the biological father. Pandora favors her Dad and Mom. If Max was Ken’s father, why would they hide it?
If Ken is Max’s bio dad & Lisa is not Max’s bio mom….
Tarama, I love the way you write, so effortlessly, and it just flows.
Brandi throwing wine in peoples faces, pushing Kyle, shoving, slapping Lisa, and now threatening Kyle?? “Knock her teeth down her throat”? Don’t you love these high class parties? Wonder why I don’t ever get invited…pout. Why would ANY of these ladies continue to film with this…this…mentally disturbed woman? Hey Yolanda…she told you, didn’t she? lol, Brandi will do what the fuck Brandi wants to do!
Re: “It seems Yolanda is finally seeing the light.”
I imagine that every relationship Yolanda had prior to Brandi has suffered to some extent including her relationship with Mohamed (& surely he doesn’t what their kids around this vulgar pig).
After reading Yolanda’s public statement last week, I believe she wrote it with dual purposes in mind & to mainly answer the #1 question she’s been hearing for the past 3 – 4 years → “What the hell are you doing with Brandi Glandville”? And actually in light of all the filming & traveling she does her statement is less valid for her condition & is more convincing as to why she’s been putting up with Brandi’s BS (+ it covers her ass if anyone calls her a fool). → “. . . I can’t process information or any stimulation for that matter. It feels like someone came in and confiscated my brain . . .”
Problem solved. She bows out of her friendship with Brandi & her family & friends all forgive her for befriending her in the 1st place. ツ
Great post, thanks TT. Okay, had to look up what tops and bottoms meant–Team Lisa Rinna! Brandi and Kim continue to depress me. The rest of the ladies are charming and funny. I love Pumpy’s plump new wifey!
Rumpy’s plump new wife is Pumpy. 😀
Yeah Michael. Now say that fast 5 times lol.
Which ever is which, I hope we see a lot more of Rumpy and Pumpy. Lisa was cracking me up with the discussion of the thyroid issues.
“Brandi, in her I Dream Of Jeanie talking heads…”
Ah, TT. You’re the only thing getting me through my bed rest. Move to the UK so we can drink wine and you can tell me stories.
Actually… Maybe I come to you and investigate your claim of the abundance of tips in Atlanta. #nohomo 😉
Finally watched the episode and my thoughts:
What the fuck was Brandi wearing? It was so ugly. Denim shirt dress which was lighter around her arse? Puke. Also Rinna’s blue dress did nothing for her. She can do way better. Tight wrap dresses are perfect for her. Fitted structural pieces make her look a million bucks, not Grecian kitchen curtains.
Watching Kyle cover for Kim’s relapse was hard to watch. I really empathize with her position. Rinna’s reaction to Kim’s relapse is awkward, as opposed to Eilenne is handling it the best in my opinion. She is doing her best mot to comment or come to any specific conclusion just yet.
Next week looks even more explosive. I can’t wait to see Kyle hold Kim responsible for her actions for a change. Bringing Brandi (even if Bravo pulled the strings) to Kyle’s party and sitting by as she goes after Kyle is pretty low. Blood is thicker than water Kim.
Wow! So much to say.
Firstly, thank you Tamara, for these recaps and for the “tea” on Mauricio (although I’d love to hear the details). I figured something happened but wasn’t sure what. It makes total sense. Besides what sounds like a slip up, I consider Mauricio to be a devoted and loving husband and father. If he made a mistake in Vegas, it is up to the couple to sort out how to move forward.
Did Lisa V try to get Brandi to bring a magazine? Of course she did. She was likely trying to lighten the mood and its not that big a deal. If someone is gossiping about you, the best way to diffuse it is to bring it to light and laugh about it as you are sipping cocktails with your hot husband. Not skulk around and try to pretend nothing happened while simultaneously forcing your hubs to suddenly ship you around on a private charter and the trailer park version of a yacht. This whole kerfuffle (I love that word) was absurd.
I have developed a whole lot of sympathy for Kyle in this. Not only is she dealing with those issues, she is also dealing with Kim and issues that have been there for a long long time. She seems to be doing her best and I respected that she admitted she doesn’t have all of the answers. I don’t blame her for keeping the drama OFF CAMERA, but it does need to be addressed in private. Well handled, Kyle!
On the down side, it would be amusing if it wasn’t so awkward watching Kyle make excuses for why Kim is in the hospital. So far it has been ulcers, bronchitis, pneumonia, and “they don’t know”. She clearly OD’d and I’m really interested to know if Monty considered reporting the missing drugs to the police. Again, Kim droning on about how she is “caring for him” makes me grind my teeth. Seriously, what a piece of shit.
I thought Lisa V’s best shade was an off comment about how Brandi was in the social circle even if she didn’t belong. Let’s face it, Brandi belongs in a truck stop whore house (is there such a thing?), not with the swans of Malibu.
I’d love to know the backstory between Lisa V and Yolanda’s rift. It definitely has something to do with Mohammed and maybe it’s because of Brandi’s statement about Joanna Krupa? I know Mohammed came out swinging, Lisa V denied seeing him say anything, and suddenly Yo and Brandi were besties. Yo can be such a lady at times (I loved her when she first arrived), but wonder if she is stirring the pot behind the scenes. I think Brandi definitely got that story from Yo. Also, seems like Lisa V is actively trying to get Shiva on the show. Maybe to replace Yo? Don’t play chess with Lisa.
So, the Jennifer Gimenez clown makeup has to be addressed. What the hell was that? Good Lord. Brought back my nightmares as a young kid of that clown that climbs out of the sewer and guts people while its smiling. That was Jennifer last night. No way she is sober by the way.
Denise Richards should absolutely be a housewife. I don’t think she takes too much crap. She is also interesting. I’m totally onboard with a Denise Richards entrance. Tagline: I know a crackhead when I see one”. By the way, how have Brandi Glanville and Brooke Mueller not become besties? Those two are made for each other. Denise, give Brandi Charlie’s number!! After he puts in his teeth, he and Brandi can threesome their way into the hearts of America.
As to why everyone keeps becoming friends with Brandi — pity. Everyone feels sorry about the sad sack. They all want to help. Until they realize there is no helping. Also, telling Eileen to get a nanny to TAKE HER CHILDREN OUT OF THE HOUSE to throw a party clearly illustrates exactly where Brandi’s values lie (lay?).
Lisa V can barely contain her glee seeing all of this go down. Who can blame her?
“The trailer park version of a yacht.” I’m sure your yacht is so much nicer. Blah, Blah……
I just want to go to “Villa Rosa” for tea and look through Vanderpump’s boutique of a closet…
I wish brandi would buy a bra and for gods sake get rid of the tragic skanky hair extensions that always look like crap.
Thank you for always being on of the first bloggers to recap- and you do an awesome job!
In other news- I wish Lisa could just lock Brandi and Kristen D ( VPR) in a dungeon and throw away the key! Both of these females could just sot around and drink and talk ober each other about their x’s – and the rest of Beverly Hills would be a lot happier! Maybe the person Tamaratattles mentioned in a previous blog could pimp them out??? Brandi and Kristen are both screaming for attention by acting this mentally challenged.
I am disappointed in Brandi’s continual attempt to keep Kyle away from Kim. I do believe that initially Brandi wanted to get Kim out of there quietly but Kyle did make a scene and she grabbed Brandi first. However, I think that Brandi (having had way too much to drink) made it way more dramatic and attempted to make it about “Brandi”, as soon as they stepped outside, she should have backed off and let the sisters speak. She was so wrong. I loved Eileen’s “neosporin” comment, I think she’s a great addition to this cast. Eileen and Lisa Vanderpump are well suited. I enjoyed watching them together. I’m also loving Lisa Rinna. I did think that Rinna could have refrained from stating that Kim seemed on something and waited for a better time. Kyle was so upset, not a good time to make her feel worse. I do think that Kim and Kyle have a toxic relationship and need some serious family counseling or they just need to stop traveling in the same circles. This sibling rivalry needs some work. Fabulous recap (as always) TT! I love your wit. You rock!
Hmm, I haven’t seen Brandi doing anything quietly; she announces her periods, 1 night stands, etc. on twitter. I do see a change lately (after the 1-st wine toss) – she is aiming for sainthood, I think. All she is talking are puppies, kittens, and her charity. Unfortunately, she can’t help herself and she does take digs at Lisa R.
I can’t stand that trick and her talking heads whether it’s rhobh or ca – nasty and negative.
I agree that she doesn’t do anything quietly but the impression I got when they initially tried to leave was that she just wanted to get Kim out as quickly as possible. I didn’t see her make a scene at that point until Kyle got grabby. Brandi is 100% wrong for everything after that but I do see she tried to leave without incident. Normally you can’t say that in regards to Brandi. I still actually like Brandi a lot but I can see she was WAY out of line even though I think for once she didn’t start it. LOL FOR ONCE!
Brandi is lucky she didn’t do that to a chick like my sister. My sister would have skull dragged Brandi all through Beverly Hills! I don’t even want to think what my sis would have done to me! Haha my sis just text me and said she would have F**** Brandi up!
My brother and I are the same. Very close but occasionally fight. It would be stupid to get between us.
YES! Brandi’s extensions are atrocious-they look like a 5 year old put them in, and are made from Barbie hair. Just bad bad bad. But I agree, I have to give her the “Texas is a state” comment, that was good. A lot of these Bravo people mess up texting, I believe Teresa always says “textes” as well.
Good.
Brandi is batshit crazy but you have to give her credit for telling Jennifer “Texas is a state.” Jennifer must have said “texes” four hundred times by then like some idiot on People’s Court.
LOL Jane. I was so busy staring at Jennifer’s facial filler that I thought I was imagining her saying texes until Brandi corrected her.
I love the addition of LisaR and Eileen. I think they are so funny and just straight to the point. All of that being said….Brandi is a horrific person. I feel for Kyle in this situation. There are many, many years of family dysfunction and Brandi has absolutely no business being involved. Did I hear her tell Yo that she wasn’t drunk? And her friend Jennifer “addiction specialist”..shouldn’t she see this situation and realize her very own friend Brandi has an alcohol problem and I suspect some sort of RX problem or at least that is my opinion as to how it comes off on the show. I just don’t understand how a person see’s themselves on TV constantly and the majority of those scenes are slurred words and profanity. It was Eileen’s house and if she would like Brandi or anyone else to not curse then that is her right. Brandi is just trash and the last person who should be “helping” Kim. I think they are very co-dependent on each other. Kim’s situation is truly sad. Did I mention Brandi is trash?
With all the drama in this episode, I still cannot get over how Yolanda’s maid, Blanca, sliced up one strawberry and gave it Yo’s son for breakfast. Is this all Yo allows her children to eat? I remember when she was in the hospital recovery room and GiGi called saying she was dizzy from doing a cleanse and Yo told her to chew one almond slowly. I’m starting to believe that serious malnutrition or eating disorders are in the house.
@Veronica Wells~ After I saw that scene, I became convinced that Yolanda must be on the payroll for both The California Citrus Growers Association and The Almond Board of CA…She does love her almonds and lemons. 🙂
And wasn’t her son going off to play football? One strawberry (that he didn’t finish) and a glass of juice? Do they not believe in protein for breakfast? My son used to eat a half dozen eggs before a game/practice. So weird. I hope that was a fake meal and that he really ate something earlier.
Yolanda let him have two almonds, chewed slowly, after all he is a growing boy.
I think it was a staged scene. Yo’s story line so far this season (again…sigh) is a child leaving the nest. Since Anwar is the only lemon left in the nest, she may have bribed him to do a scene. My guess it was done at some time when he had NOTHING else to do.
LOL Yolanda didn’t tell her to “chew an almond slowly” you completely twisted that in your mind. Hilarious, but twisted.
That scene with Brandi and her friend Jennifer was like botox, filler, bad plastic surgery on display. Whoa. I have no idea what they said because I couldn’t get past their frozen, misshapen faces. And Jennifer’s make up…yikes.
Am the only one who dislikes the entrance to Lisa’s home? It’s just so odd with the Villa Rosa tile/welcome mat, the odd little bridge, the swans and the glass doors. The rest of the house looks stunning, but that entrance is just all wrong.
Nope, you’re not alone. I think she’s got great taste in many ways but that entrance mimics a storefront on Rodeo. But the wildly rich spend money in wildly weird ways.
Sorry but Lisa Vanderpump can do no wrong by me. Her style/taste is impeccable.
What about jennifer & brandi having a chat? I couldnt focus on anything jennifer was saying I kept lookimg at her cheeks ..I’ve never seen blush applied that way (over the whole side of the face) and her lips had so much filler the top lip was touching the tip of her nose. I was mesmerised watching both of their overfilled faces while they were talking. Add that with the dead cat brandi has clipped into her hair .. Can’t she go somewhere and have a decent weave stitched in? Its as though she never looks at the back of her head.
We’ve had some shockers in the hair department of late .. The brushback at the dinner where she threw the wine in Eileen’s face she looked like Grandpapa from the Munsters, then the Bump It .. tragic …and then last night.. Omg I laughed.. The crappy hoop earings, tits out (again.. For gods sake put those tired yard dogs away) and as Tamara put it.. The “I dream of Genie hairdo” (another hair-DON’T).
Great recap!! I am loving Eileen and I always love every scene involving Lisa Vanderpump’s gorgeous home. I still can’t get over the pizza flying out of Brandi’s hands onto Eileen’s tile and she just leaves it there?!?! Give me a break!
WOW! What an episode! Kim always finds the worst people to support her horrible decisions. And she then attacks Kyle every time.
I read the book House of Hilton. According to the book, their mother manipulated the 3 sisters against each other all the years she was alive. I find that very believable as I watch their very dysfunctional relationship play out on TV.
Brandi is not just a drunk but a terrible person. I don’t condone Eddie’s cheating ways but I can now see how those two hooked up. And I think that Brandi didn’t cheat but she sure was an equal partner in the demise of their marriage. I can only imagine what she was like to live with full time.
Eileen was spot-on. It was great watching Brandi squirm as she was held accountable for her actions. What was so great about calling Brandi out was that Eileen spoke directly to Brandi’s actions. She didn’t use profanity or call her vicious names. She kept to the point of the offense. Brandi didn’t know what to do. Until her talking head which she just showed her true colors of her “mean girl” character.
I love having Eileen and Lisa R on the show. I think they both add to the show. And they see Brandi for what she is and call her on it. No longer can Yolanda and Kim blame Lisa V. for Brandi’s behavior.
Lisa V. is sitting back and having the best revenge of all. Brandi, Yolanda, and Kim are doing it all to themselves. Yolanda for supporting Brandi and keeping her as friend is now being embarrassed on national TV in her own home with Brandi’s antics. I wonder when Yo is finally going to jump the Brandi ship. Kim is having a re-lapse (sadly) and all her ugly digs at Lisa V and Ken take on a different perspective now that we see she truly has major, major issues with reality. Well Brandi’s actions say it all.
Kim and Brandi, in my opinion, set Kyle up for her outbursts next week. They both know exactly what to say and do to push Kyle’s buttons and unfortunately Kyle gives them what they want.
The re-union this year is going to be EPIC!
Their mother was a psycho. Every time I hear them speak of her in glowing terms, I cringe. I hope they realize how dysfunctional their childhoods were. I have a family member who had a very dysfunctional childhood (not to the Richards level) and it wasn’t until after years of therapy that he had a moment of realization. His life has been much better since. I think the Richards’ sisters need that too.
I tried to find that book”House of Hilton’s” last weekend at Barnes and Nobles and they didnt have it. Sounds interesting and I would love to read it if I can ever find it. They do speak glowing about the mom, never hear about the dad.
I found House of Hiltons on kindle.
Anyone know the date of the reunion show? When it is being filmed? Or has it already been filmed? Thanks in advance.
I really thought the car ride home with Brandi and Kim was super creepy!
I am loosing my interest in Jennifer. She is picking up on Brandi wars with Kenya using Vivica hashtags. I don’t like this.
I imagine that the teachers cringed when Brandi walked in and were praying that she would not sign up to be the Room Mom. Poor Vince. Guess he was out in the garage looking for floor cleaner….someone had to pick that piece of DiGiornos.
Why why did Jen eff up her face?? it really looked horrid and she was quite attractive before…
Jen & Brandi probably have the same doc who is willing to over inflate their cheeks!
Too much filler, but it will soften eventually. She’s also tweeting about blushgate on her feed.
Yolonda’s son was so super nice and polite to Blanca. I really respect that. Love that Ken & Lisa took in the new dog, but hate that Lisa had to change a old dogs name to something “cute” and that fits in with the rest. I’m a dog lover, but Lisa is starting to creep me out on all the dog sex talk. On VPR’s she wanted to have doggy sex with that beautiful big dog. Enough!
Last week saw a re-run of Lisa R. searching for a new house. So glad she didn’t, love their house! She said Harry had it built 25-30 years ago.
I can’t help but wonder if maybe Kim and crazy-butt Brandi have possibly had a “thing” together. Brandi has made it clear that she’ll do anybody and with Kim relapsing, she’ll cling to whomever will be a supporter to her habit(s). I don’t know, but just seeing how Kim was smoozing all over Brandi made feel that they are/have been/experienced/tried out a drunken love fest, so to speak.
They kinda looked like they had a thing, Kim and Brand did. .I thought Brandis friend Jennifer may have had a recent procedure. I thought she looked pretty though, younger and firmer in her face. She just had way too much blush on, probably trying to contour to hide some swelling but otherwise I thought it looked good, whatever she had done.
I am surprised that I don’t miss the Bravo shows. But I DO miss being able to comment on them.
Didn’t Brandi once say that if she doesn’t remember something, that means it didn’t happen? Convenient excuse for a drunk.
It was regarding what she calls black out sex. If you can’t remember than it didn’t happen.
Too much to digest. Not in order of importance, but:
1. Jennifer, friend of Brandi: WHAT is with the bad cheek filler and lip injections? She is still swollen, so treatment was recent, but she looked horrendous! I might have nightmares.
2. Yo’s kids are fine. Don’t worry, they eat. Models, ballet dancers, gymnasts or jockeys don’t eat a lot, just a fact. They just don’t eat like we do, in order to keep a body type. Yet they don’t necessarily die young, or have anorexia. I lived through many a crash diet, and my daughters will as well. I never told my mother when I did it before prom or whatever. At least mine tell me it’s “cabbage week”. Then they go back to a day or so of junk. The “So Cal Boy” (as we in northern Ca call them) had a big breakfast before or after filming-Yo just wanted us to see her fresh fruit and juice. It makes for comments, and films better than runny eggs and hash browns. These people are well bred race horses, don’t kid yourself, or worry for a minute that they are malnourished.
3. Now we know why Kyle was so sensitive about the magazine issue last season. There is reason for concern about the public perception and the reality of her marriage. Many long term couples have survived worse.
4. There is bad behavior, and then there is the UNFORGIVEABLE KIND. What she said about Adrienne and Paul. Her swipe at Kyle. Even if truth is a defense to slander, there are things that just go beyond the pale. She is really looking to be persona non grata in Hollywood.
What a great way to spend the morning hiding from my own reality! Thanks.
I swear by the Dolly Parton cabbage soup diet. I really need to go on it again. It totally works. And I love soup and cabbage and you are always full.
I just made some last week. I was practically raised on that soup.
I have never heard the expression “tops and bottoms” either. I asked my gay sister, she didn’t know. I guess we’re out of touch lol.
I’m sadly less familiar with lesbians, but tops and bottoms is a male sex thing I am sure you can figure out. You’re either a top, a bottom or both (versatile)
Don’t lesbians just scissor? 😉
I’m confused by the Jennifer Gimenez/Brandi Drunkville friendship. Isnt Jennifer an addiction counselor? Yet accompanies Brandi to all of the functions etc where she gets sloppy fall down drunk? It just seems like a huge contradiction to me.
The Brandi and Kim story lines make no sense. I fear we are all being had and they are auditioning for their own spinoff. 🙂
Drunk and Drunker?
Shame on you Micheal. Kim is oh so strong in her “sobriety”, and Brandi only gets drunk “2 and 1/2 times” per year.
Is there a shot somewhere with Lisa saying to Yolanda, “remember when I was sticking up for Brandi? Now she just told you to F*ck,F*ck,F*ck off”!..Lisa is laughing somewhere.
And its so hard to watch those scenes where Brandi is preventing Kyle, my blood starts to boil. All Kyle had to do was push Brandi really hard, none of those broads have ever been in a fight or a scuffle..
( Bell ) DING! DING! Round one. I could see how it could be on.
Brandi is so far out of her element in Beverly Hills, it’s embarrassing. Bravo needs to ship her drunken ass to Orange County, where she can revel in her vile, classless behavior with fellow white trash alumni Tamera Judge. I really hope that nasty comment Brandi made to Kyle about Mauricio finally puts to sleep the mystery of who brought the tabloids on the trip last year.
I have two sisters and would not let anyone come between us at all. We have our disagreements, but we stick up for each other to the death. One of my sis’ has a drinking problem and if people start to talk about her I to jump in and defend her. Not so much her actions, but the fact that she’s a person with some issues and the person throwing the shade needs to mind their own business. It’s a special bond. It has to be tough for Kyle to see this happening over and over again.
Im glad Kyle has finally seen the light re brandi, maybe now she will reflect & remember what brandi did to Lisa Vanderpump last season.
Kyle is a nice girl & seems very down to earth & normal. Just because you aren’t a drama queen doesnt mean you are boring.
I would kill for her hair! amazing.
I’m glad that Lisa R said the things to Kyle in the limo that she said. Kim has a problem, OBVIOUSLY, and Kyle’s refusal to even remotely admit it is annoying. She doesnt know what was wrong, she couldnt realllly tell if Kim was altered-give me a break. The entire country can tell she was wasted out of her mind. Enough with the pretending.
I wonder if they actually thought the Bravo mikes didn’t pick up their bathroom conversation at that point and were just trying to cover her slip up. Not that it wasn’t obvious anyway….
i understand why Lisa R doesn’t have a lot of gays in her inner circle. If I was married to Harry Hamlin I wouldn’t want a bunch of horny gay men sniffing around either. j/k
Atlanta has a lot of tops? Please. I defy any gay guy who says he’s a total top to be hooked up to a lie detector. ‘Taint real.
Love Eileen! Vince peering through the garage window was priceless. When you think Brandi has sunk to a new low she sinks even further…disgusting and she needs to stop putting her hands on people. Kyle needs to get a restraining order on Brandi.
I am so glad I am not watching this season. Filming an addict during a relapse is like human sacrifice. Andy C. needs to put the kibbosh on this. I am not impressed with this Jen, supposed friend of Brandi. Jen’s been on Celebrity Rehab several seasons and outed herself as in recovery so she of all people should know that Brandi has a problem (the other possibility is that she acts drunk to get away with her behavior). If she’s truly that drunk Jen should tell her to get help and not appear right alongside her as if everything is kosher. The whole situation is just yuck.
I used to feel bad for Brandi land loved her honesty. At the beginning of this season she seemed almost meek, like she was trying very hard to be good. Even if she was a little boring this way I was hoping for a good outcome as she tried to get things back to a good place with Lisa. It was like she wanted to be good and get everyone’s approval. Then before i knew it, old Brandi was back messing with people, throwing drinks and getting way too drunk. I can’t determine who else is an alcoholic, I personally believe they have to reach that realization on their own, like I did. I was lucky in a way that what little bits I remembered weren’t anything like who I wanted to be. I was always ashamed of my drunk self. A 24 yr. old in AA 30 years ago was a big deal in rural Iowa, they called me “pup”. Oh how I wish someone would call me pup now! Maybe Brandi will find her way, whatever that needs to be, before too long. If watching yourself on Tv isn’t a wake up call, I don’t know what would be.
I was going to say, “Thanks for sharing, Nadine” and then it hit me… but seriously no pun intended. Thanks.
