This week on Eileen’s blog, she managed to make everything abundantly clear regarding Brandi and Kim without any insults or profanity. Somehow, a bit of sane outside observation is all it takes. If only there were more of that in play in the world…
Oh boy…this episode had my stomach in knots. I don’t know about you, but I was yelling at the television!
I have to first address one thing: The words “reckless” and “you should be disappointed in yourself” should never, EVER pass the lips of Brandi Glanville. Unless she’s referring to herself. THAT IS ALL.
Kyle’s mixer was such a great idea. I have single friends who are gay (can’t say “my gays” when I don’t refer to my heterosexual friends as “my heteros,” LOL!). God knows we needed a little levity after my poker party debacle. Kyle was a gracious and lovely hostess, who was clearly excited to be getting all of our gays (oh, whatever) together and, who knows, maybe make a love connection. That happiness flew out the window when Kim walked into the party with Brandi, who, by the way, is acting less and less like a friend and more and more like a mafia enforcer. Um…I guess Kim’s heart was in the right place? She said she wanted Brandi and Kyle to make up, but really people, at a party? With no heads up to the hostess? Was she trying to put out a fire or throw gasoline on it?
I’m so happy that she was in the hospital for a bit. Hopefully she is healthy and back on track. Still, she appears to be getting her days mixed up and continues to side with a woman who habitually insults and provokes her sister. How about that lovely comment about Mauricio? Talk about “reckless.” What about THEIR kids, Brandi? Yuck, ick, creeping me out. The really sad thing here is that before my party it seemed these two sisters were communicating in a loving way with each other. You could tell how much they care about each other and the bond and the history they share. Kyle was so happy to have mended things with Kim. She was clearly frustrated and angry at the mixer, as she witnessed all that progress going out the window. I don’t blame her one bit for feeling angry, hurt and betrayed. I just don’t understand Kim’s point of view. I’m trying here. I really am.
Eileen seems too sane for this (or any HW) show.
I’m afraid we’ll lose her next season — I don’t see her sticking around for this mess.
Me too I’m scared Eileen will leave! Her voice is like butter maybe I need to start watching Days.
I think she is more or less stunned at all the crazy that this show has turned into. BTW the photo above of her in white is (to me) maybe one of the most beautiful HW pics of any and all of the HWs ever. She is simply gorgeous and far too classy for the Brandi show.
Please don’t leave us Eileen! Love her sensibilities! And Brandi, I fast forward to anything that has her speaking. I know how she acting is paying her bills but yuck doesn’t even come close to the words I think for her…
I think most of the women who’ve come on the show in the past few years, initially experience shock at the drama and pettiness that goes on. The only person who hit the ground running was..drumroll please…Brandi. She drove right in. Almost all these women lack insight and are hypocritical but Brandi just brings it to new highs (or lows). I love when she takes other women to task for some BS she pulls on a weekly basis. What she’s trying to do to Kim and Kyle’s relationship is scummy-Kim is to stupid to realize what’s going on and Brandi knows it.
At least she will get a huge payrise.
Me too. She said on WWHL that it has aged her. ..likE the Presidency does. Sadly, Lisa R may not sick it out either. ..
I think Lisa Rinna will stay. She said she’d do about anything for a job.That makes what she said sound bad and I didn’t mean it that way. I like her and Eileen, also.
The HW that don’t stir something up, with the exception of Lisa V and Kyle, i.e., Joyce and Carlton, are cast off. Slippery Brandi gets close, obtains personal,confidential info & is too scary to toss off the show. Brandi goes from HW to HW (Adriene, Lisa V, Yolanda) to be ‘in with the in-crowd’ & when acceptance isn’t fast enough, she blows a rod. Marred by her rejection from her marriage, she needs to be kept in check. Heck, Kim was required to seek help. Why are they allowing Brandi to cause such fogged up confusion and hurt. ‘What’s Brandi going to do next?’ shoulld be the title of the show since the network certainly doesn’t care about the feelings of all the women.
Love your comment. Also, I expect Brandy to turn totally bitchy towards Eileen – in fact, she’s already doing it, like when she insulted her home and said she wanted to have sex with her husband, during the poker game. See, Brandy is like a bipolar, tantrumy little child with no impulse control, who just wants attention and approval and acts out in order to obtain it. Then Eileen comes along, an actual TV star and not just a rich Housewife, and Brandy is starstruck as we observed during the first few episodes featuring Eileen. Eileen rejected Brandy and doesn’t bother to hide her disdain, so this makes Brandy angry and she will act out even more, now out of pain and rejection.
Ever notice how she tries to be so cool when dealing with the younger crowd (like Yolanda’s daughter) and seems to get right down to their level with ease? Arrested emotional development.
Eileen, you can’t understand Kim’s thinking because she’s using addicted thinking patterns.
I really like Eileen and Lisa R. They are great additions to the show and make it better. If all we had was the Brandi, Kim, and Kyle show it would not be watchable.
Agree !
Agreed. The rest of the season seems like its going to be Kyle and Brandi fighting over custody of Kim and I can’t imagine any more un-watchable “story line” in the history of HW story lines.
Thank God for Eileen and Lisa R. to bring some sanity.
I agree that Brandi is acting like a mafia enforcer or . . . . Kim’s caped crusader. Brandi is threatening Kyle with the truth, Kyle is defending herself against lies and Kim just waits for the next bomb to explode.
Ditto to all the comments made above. I’m hoping Eileen will stick around for awhile too. But if she doesn’t I totally understand. We all know that Bravo won’t keep you long if you don’t bring the ‘drama’. The sicker, toxic, numbing, mind bending, nauseating, the better. But if she has to leave I hope she gets to kick Brandi in her ass (verbally that is) in her own classy Eileen way.
Agreed with all the comments above. Eileen’s blog was spot on. Love her.
I remember Brandi telling Kim that “we” should leave and that she came with Kim and was leaving with Kim. Mafia enforcer and hostage taker. Kim is too fragile for this game Brandi is playing.
Eileen is the voice of sanity here. I am wondering if they reunion is going to happen. Yolanda is probably too ill to attend and I can see Kim and Brandi deciding not to go because everyone is on to their game.
Kim and Brandi woukd never turn down the reunion paycheck. They will be there. Yolanda will too. Just maybe a little subdued.
Adrienne Maloof was fired for not showing up for the reunion so there is no way Brandi or Kim won’t show up. They are both broke and neither one could afford to lose the best paying job either one of them is ever going to get. Ever!
I am also a big fan of Eileen and Lisa R but recall that I also liked Brandi and Yolanda in their first year so who knows what second year edit will reveal. Fingers crossed in their favor.
I don’t understand Kim either. I had a feeling that she and Brandi would be the ‘villains’ this season. Their anger and vitriol towards Kyle seems so unfounded.
Spot on. I just love Eileen! Eileen said “was Kim trying to put out a fire or throw gasoline?” The problem is Kim is not in a right frame of mind to clearly think through anything and Brandi should have been the adult and said I’ll sit this event out but she wanted to go there for the drama to blame Kyle (even though Kyle took the high road and apologized to her) as further proof that Kim should remain loyal to her and doubt her sister.
Brandy tries Nene’s ploy of standing over her opponent to intimidate.
Well Brandy, you know that old saying, ” the bigger they are the harder they fall “.
Your time is coming. I hope I’m watching when it happens
I love Eileen. I love that sje confronted Brandi on her own issues at Lisa R’s party and shamed her. As much as we all seem to hate the classless trashbag that is Brandi i just dont see Bravo getting rid of her. Heck, even Kyle said this was their “best season yet” in promos and look what is haapening between her and her sister?
You can’t shame Brandi. She’s proof of that herself.
Good idea, Eileen. Let’s ship Brandi off to Mob Wives and see how long that ratty weave lasts before it gets ripped from her head.
Yeah right, Brandi is tough to a bunch of rich middle aged white women from Beverly Hills. She would never last with the broads of mob wives. But I’d watch them snatched her by her weave and smack the piss out of her.
Brandi on MobWives. That’s too funny! I’d give her about 2 seconds…Drita would snap her in half. Brandi would be in a corner curled up in the fetal position somewhere!
Eileen is beautiful and sane, with a gorgeous husband who loves her. Just what this show needs more of. I want to see more that I can envy, not people like Brandi and Kim.
As calm as she is, makes me wonder if she’d ever watched the show before signing up. I cant imagine Eileen ever flipping out on camera. If she doesn’t though, will Bravo keep her on? If everyone acted like her, how many viewers would the show have? She’s a sweetie, but we do like the drama even though we gripe about it. lol
I love the kind of drama that you see on Revenge and Dynasty. That sneaky, smart, underhanded stuff that Victoria Grayson and Alexis Carrington deliver. The stuff we see on Housewives is trashy and old at this point. Bravo needs to get rid of the likes of Brandi, Kim, and all the NJ housewives and bring in some rich, sneaky women who throw shade and compliment you in one breath.
I just can’t get over how different Eileen is from Kristin Dimara! It’s so much fun watching her be a normal person. Not only do Eileen & Lisa bring some much needed sanity but also fond memories of their iconic characters. Billie was my favorite on Days, but Kristin was a tight second. And now they’re both on rhobv! Squee! Sorry for the off-topic fangirling. I just couldn’t resist.
I understand. It’s hard to process the negativity and messiness. And it’s not fun. That’s the problem with addicts.plus, coming on to her husband. Brandi and Kim think they are enlightening us but they are just addicts. I’m Irish, I know.
Oh Eileen. Far too classy for this show. I hope she sticks around after this season though, for selfish reasons!
Eileen was the breath of fresh air needed on this franchise. She is the Brandi-slayer.
After Scheana’s wedding on pumprules, a Branditard fan writer has attacked Lisa on twitter for being friends with Scheana. I dont understand this. Brandi knew Scheana was on Pump when she signed up. LVP knew Scheana because she is one of Pandy’s best friends. Wasnt it up to Brandi if she didnt want to do the show?
Why was it incumbent on Lisa to fire Scheana for an affair she had 7 yrs ago at 21 years old. She is now 28 and married. Ughhh…So sick of Brandi & Branditards deflecting because Brandi right now is looking bad so they need to take the heat off of her.
