We begin with Yolanda’s scavenger hunt. I assume that is one of her shakes from home she is drinking? I wonder what is in there! Camille Grammer shows up for the race! Yolanda claims she did not make up the teams. No one wants to be on Brandi’s team (except Kim). The scavenger hunt is done by a company who puts these thins on for corporate team bonding. It requires problem solving and teamwork. Kim is bitching about it already and they haven’t even started yet. This reminds me of the time we all had to stand in a circle in the parking lot of the school and throw a giant dead fish at someone in the parking lot and give them a compliment. I hate that shit. But this seems fun. I like scavenger hunts and keep wanting to go geocaching. But that would require leaving you fucknuts unsupervised.
Anyway, no time for fascinating personal stories, I have a Jodi Arias blog to get back to. Let’s get this recap up and done! Kyle is captain of Team #1 ( Brandi & Camille) Eileen is captain of Team #2 ( Kim and Lynn) and Yo is captain of Team #3 ( Lisa & Lisa) they select teams by random draw. Clearly this was not random at all and Team Three will win.
Team #1 has all the stupid people except Kim. They can’t finish the first task. Eileen is handicapped by Kim. I don’t know who this random Lyn person is. Am I supposed to? Actually, Team #3 is dumber than I expected. Eileen may have to win this despite her two person handicap. Yolanda sucks at cooperating with her own team. Kim is even worse.
At the finish line all the cheating comes out. Eileen’s team basically won for not cheating. The entire scavenger hunt took less than four minutes. They made it seem like it was all day event. In Brandi’s talking head she says there is nothing Kyle can say to make up for what she has said to her. Really? That’s hilarious. Production kicks Camille and Lynn out so that serious fake filming can begin. Yolanda announces that everyone is going to Amsterdam. Brandi says that they can smoke pot. Vanderpump and Rinna want to do it too. Brandi says “It’s amazing there’s hookers and windows!” While I did walk through the red light district with my parents as a kid, (what were they going to do with me?) I was more traumatized by the Anne Frank House and the Dutch boy who my parents and his parents made us take a picture together. #ChildhoodTrauma
Why would Yolanda have a man on standby to run out and fix the dishwasher but no maid in sight to load the dishwasher? She’s rich, and deathly ill! Two fabulous excuses not to lift a finger! Yolanda explains that the Dutch are assholes. You would know this if you had ever been to Holland, or even Curacao. I still think Germans are worse.
Kyle
Portia gets into some makeup and looks like a hooker. Kyle is worried that Mauricio can’t handle the house and kids while she is in Holland.
Lisa Rinna
Lisa is giving the kids schedules to he housekeeper. She is not relying on her husband either.
Brandi
Is talking to her odd gay roommate about Kim being in a city full of drugs and alcohol as if every city is not full of drugs an alcohol. Where should that go with Kim, Tehran?
They are flying on Yolanda’s private plane. Supposedly, Lisa and Eileen have to work and can’t make it. That or they are just smart. Brandi on the other hand decided to tell Kim everything that Lisa Rinna said at their lunch. I imagine she left out the parts where she said stuff. Kim still thinks she was sober despite taking Monty’s pill.
On the plane, Kim is being standoffish to Lisa. There was some weird editing about someone whose first deal was $36 million dollars. I am already 40 minutes behind and I rewound once and still don’t get that part. Lisa asks Kim if she is okay. Kim ignores her. Lisa asks Kim if she is mad at her. Kim says ” Worry about your own family and stop talking about me!” Kim says, ” I don’t drink. I don’t take drugs I shouldn’t. End of story, so please don’t talk about me!”
Lisa says, “Okay but the anger I don’t understand.”
Kim says, ” I have worked very hard for my sobriety. to let someone take it down and defame that.”
Lisa says ” I am not trying to take down your sobriety, I’m just concerned about you.”
Kim, “And not I’m asking you to drop it. I do not drink and I do not abuse any prescription medications!”
Lisa says,” My apologies. I’m sorry”
Kim gets her scary voice and says ” DROP IT NOW!
Kim’s face looks horrible. It’s red and odd looking. Kyle has curled into a little ball on her seat. Yo is sitting on the floor near the galley for some reason in between two people in seats, one looks like a man. Security? Oh shit no, it’s Baby Face! Kyle just told us. All of this is going down on a private plane with Babyface and god knows who else on it! I imagine this private plane is just to Calgary and they will fly commercial to Holland. This plane is kind of small for a Holland trip.
Eileen
Eileen is worried about leaving her boy with Vince. it’s cute.
In Canada the ladies all go to David’s Charity event. They are all worried that their dresses are not expensive enough as they climb into the nicest limo ever. Because decadence is important for women supporting charity. Lisa talks about Harry losing two brothers to alcoholism and Harry deciding to stop drinking. Brandi and Kim came to the party in a different vehicle.
Yolanda gives a speech that of course is all about what a great man her husband is. She mentions “her husband” a dozen times. Steven Tyler is there making a donation and kissing up to David. Some dude donated a million dollars. Babyface has the number one song in the world that he sang. It was all very CHI CHI CHI! Steven Tyler sang and kissed Kyle on the lips. They raised over 8 million dollars.
Eventually, they all make it to Amsterdam. The Richards sisters are not good with luggage. Kyle loses her luggage with all of her jewelry for about an hour before finding it . Then, Kim Literally breaks the escalator in the Amsterdam airport because she can’t get her cart off at the top. That is why they have elevators for people like this who need 6 suitcases for five days. Yolanda says to Kyle, perhaps she shouldn’t help load the luggage. Where is the driver to do that anyway. I’ve never loaded a thing curbside. Brandi throws Kim under the bus with an assist from Kyle saying Kim was the one who jammed the entire escalator at the airport. Kim denies it was her despite photographic evidence to the right. She claims she turned around to check on Kyle. Um, nope. No she did not. More denial and blame shifting to her sister. Kim says to Kyle that we waited on her for an hour and half (to find her luggage) and she is now all chocked up in tears screaming that every time she was ever late Kyle always made a big deal out of it laughing at me. Kyle says I apologized to everyone, I’m sorry I lost my bag. What was I supposed to do? On the van Kim starts not making sense.
Next Week: Vanderpump and Eileen arrive. At dinner Kim says something about Harry and Lisa Rinna loses her mind and throws her drink at Kim and damn near jumps across the table to kill her. I can’t wait.
The $36 million deal was a real estate deal by Kyle’s daughter, Farrah. She works at The Agency (Mauricio’s company)
Thought it was Bella.
No way would Bella make 36 million at this point in her modeling career, not even Gigi is making that kind of money.
Oops I meant Gigi. LOL sorry.
There are no deals in the fashion industry worth that much for a model. A cosmetics campaign (which is the highest echelon of gigs) can net a girl about a million tops if it’s global. But it also depends on the house and it depends on the girl.
Gigi is the new face of Maybelline, which can pay way more than a fashion house. But I still thought that was an exorbitant amount for Gigi to make, even in total so far. I also initially thought Kyle meant Gigi, since she said to Yolanda, “Oh look, both of our daughters are in this magazine!” (As if Kyle didn’t know and doesn’t have the clipping hanging on her fridge! But, hell, I’d be bragging, too. Though I agree, I bet the veteran agent was stoked! No nepotism at Mauricio’s firm!)
Gigi is blowing up, though! She’s in the gossipy trash magazines, that girl is everywhere. I felt bad when she only got to eat something sliver of her goodbye party cake. 🙁
The whole reason Maybelline hires someone fresh off the modeling boat is so they don’t have to pay the millions of dollars.
I can’t believe there are people here who thin models make 36 million dollars on any assignment let alone a first one.

Kyle said something to the effect like “look Yolanda, both of our daughters are in the magazine” then turned back and sat in her seat.
And I think it was Lisa R. pointing to the picture (kind of leaning over Kyle, who was holding the magazine) and Kyle said “something, something $36 million;” Lisa R. said “Oh Kyle that’s _____!” (something complimentary sounding) so I def. think the $36 million was in reference to Farrah, not Bella.
Have no idea if it was about a real estate closing, but that would make sense if she’s working with Mauricio.
It’s on The Agency’s website. Farrah’s first sale was 36 million and she was in the top 25 realtors last year.
I paused the tv and read the article. Farrah and another realtor with “The Agency” had their first big sale of $36 million. The article called it a deal, not a sale. It had Farrah’s last name, which I can not spell off the top of my head. It also mentioned that she was the step daughter of Mauricio Urmanski, the co-founder of The Agency. It looked like Kyle’s finger on the page.
I was referring to what I read on their website, but thank you for the correction?
Wow! How can I get a job with Mauricio?! Lol
Can you imagine the veteran agent forced to co-list with Farrah?

Seriously, I can not take one more season of Kim. I scream obscenities at my tv when Kim is yapping or crying. I enjoy the LVP and Lisa R scenes. Can’t we just have 3 housewives? LVP, Lisa R and Eileen.
Yeah Kim was nothing but awful this episode. If this is how they’re going to edit her I’d rather them just replace her with someone fun!
I’m waiting for her to give someone a shit stained pillow to drag around the airport when they leave because she got “sick”. *cough*withdrawal*cough*
As one of a group of recovering alcoholics floating around on this site…I gotta say that blowing your sobriety sucks (not that I”m even 50% sure Kim’s been sober the past 2 years). What sucks even more is blowing your sobriety in front of millions of people. Because Kim clearly doesn’t follow a program, she’s a dry-drunk-which can be just as bad as drinking-they’re irritable, nasty, take no responsibility-blaming everyone but themselves for the jam their in.
As an aside, families where there is an addiction problem often place a great emphasis on appearances-in my family as long as you’re nicely dressed, your make up is in place and you keep your mouth shut-everything’s copasetic. Anyone notice how often Kyle talks about, “how does it make me look”? As in, “You make me look like the bad sister”, “What will people think?!”, “I wanted to die, I’m so embarrassed in front of babyface” etc..etc..
Btw, Kyle’s comment to Lisa R. in the car about Harry’s sobriety was a total dig-to move the conversation away from Kim.
Ok, I’m done..Sorry for the ramble..
This was a lovely episode, but I feel for Kyle. I also felt bad when Kyle brought up Harry’s sobriety to Lisa..why do that? Misplaced anger I guess.
Lisa R is a sweetheart and I feel for her in next weeks preview.
I cant take Kim. I dont at this point it’s the drugs talking or her deep seeded hatred for her sister coming out towards the end of this episode. Like she bitched at Kyle over being late but whart about all those times Kim was late in previous seasons trips (ie Hawaii)?? Then Kim claims in her confessionals it wasnt about Kyle it was about that sitdown Brandi ratted Lisa R out on. Yet still she claims Kyle doesnt have her back and npt supportive. Excuse me… but WTF!!! Kyle wasnt at the sit down with Brandi and Lisa R so how in goodness could Kyle even defend Kim if she wasnt there! Kim’s logic is all messed and I really think she just wanted to use her drug addiction to keep villianzing her sister. Again she has shown her cards yet again to the viewers.
I can’t stand Kim, either. And her melt down at the airport showed how nasty and self serving she is.
The luggage scene was very telling, she barks at Kyle, yet Brandi was the one behind her cursing and yelling and jumping around. Yeah Brandi can do all kinds of crazy but Kyle can look a certain way, she can’t say anything or get mad at Brandi or be sisterly like. I’m not a kyle fan but she can’t win for losing, truly.
I’d like to think Kim just needs a dual diagnosis rehab to address the drinking/drugs and anxiety however I think in addition to being an addict, she’s just a spoiled, entitled brat who can’t take responsibility for any of her choices. She needs a personality transplant and she should take Brandi with her and see if they can get a two for one…
Kim has a VERY very deep hatred for her sister Kyle & it has to do with A LOT that we don’t know about but some of it was revealed in that limo fight a couple seasons back if you guys recall, nothing was ever repaired with that fight these ppl don’t repair they sweep things under the carpet…if you recall what was brought up by Kim was that SHE supported the family when they were younger & Kyle was always ungrateful, how Kim gave Mauricio & Kyle lots of money, and somewhere along the lines the two of them “stole a house” or rather the proceeds from the sale of a house that Kim owned. It must’ve happened during a time when Kim was constantly inebriated & not paying much attention. I totally believe her.
Excuse me if I read that wrong but did you just say that you “totally believe” the drunk?
I dont believe a damn word with Kim If anyone is ungrateful it is her. Shes the sddict here. Who was jobless for years and who was taking care of her Kyle and Mauricio. Kim is a bitter, old junkie addict who hates her younger for “leaving her behind” and makung a life for herself. Good for Kyle time for Kim to growup and take accountability for her addiction and life!
I wondered if anyone else noticed Kyle outing Harry’s anonymity …
She had a bit of a nasty smirk on her face when she did it, too.
Huh?
I know. Rinna was not expecting that. What was Kyle thinking?! Was it an innocent comment or a bitch move? At least Rinna wasnt a hypocrite and plowed through it. She went on a reality show after all.
Lisa has brought it up in other episodes at least 3 times that I can think of.
Sorry CocoBrown, I meant to reply to JustJenn. And Undine- I think it was a total bitch move. Kyle did that intentionally… to teach Rinna a lesson. I have never heard Harry Hamlin was in recovery, and the only references I have heard Rinna make this season were regarding Harry’s two brothers who both died of alcoholism. Not that Harry himself was alcoholic. Kyle is playing getcha-gotcha because she is still protective of Kim.
Nobody said Harry was an alcoholic. What was said was when his second brother died, he stopped drinking entirely.

You’re right… No one said he was an “alcoholic”… I read into that, I guess. I’m tired.
You do realize that we are not privy to everything that the women say? They edit for time and for all we know Lisa has mentioned Harry’s drinking many times and it simply didn’t make the cut. There is no way we can know every single thing the ladies talk about.
Kyle saying that about Harry was shitty, as Lisa had not mentioned it when discussing his brothers alcoholism. Kyle is either stupid or vindictive because of Kim. I dont care about Kim at all anymore, what a waste of space. Shes mean and crazy, and as piss poor of a person as Brandi. They both dislike and attack perfectly nice people. Kim’s behaviour was despicable at Eileen’s house, and now she says she doesnt like Eileen. Eileen and Lisa R are the classy decent smart ones. I cant wait to see Lisa R give it back to sober Kim (SOBER MY ASS).
Totes bitch move…an attempt to distract the conversation and embarrass Lisa R. Btw, although you could tell Lisa was thrown, she handled it with aplomb.
All she did was ask how he got sober. That is NOT bringing up anything in a negative light. Could it be she wants to know how someone else got there? When despite what she says, Kim is not sober.
I’m betting Kim brings up the HH/LR movie where Harry plays a sex addict. Brandi probably told Her it was true.
I’ll have to watch it again. It was strange to me that Kyle brought up HH and Lisa R became really quite afterward.
Asking if someone is sober is different than asking if someone stopped drinking. To me, sober implies there was a problem. Otherwise, you just say someone doesn’t drink.
”to you” being the opportune words.

I think Lisa R got quite because she was emotional about what happened to Harry’s brothers and the effect it had on Harry. She’s probably vets emotional because she’s very grateful for Harry’s change. Of course I’m just guessing.
I’m sober right now. Does that mean I have a problem? I don’t think so. There are a lot of sober people out there who have never had a drink. What a weird conclusion to make.
I’m 8 days sober! Can I get a poker chip or summat?

I believe she asked, “how long has Harry been sober” not “how he got sober”.
I have to disagree. How is it fair that Lisa R can go on and on about Kim’s addiction and have conversation after conversation about calling Kim out but then not tell the truth about how it is that she knows so much about addiction? We don’t know if Harry’s brothers had children or wives who might not have wanted their dad or husbands addiction and /or death announced on TV. Lisa kept referencing Harry’s brothers and calling out Kim but never once mentioned the HER HUSBAND was an alcoholic! That’s totally hypocritical. I think that Kyle called her out because she knew it and she felt it was hypocritical too. And.. She wanted to shut her up. You could tell by the look on Lisa’s face that she was very caught off guard and upset by the fact that Kyle brought it up. Kudos to Kyle. I don’t think that Kyle agreed with Lisa bringing it up all the time so she gave her a taste of her own medicine.
I’m not saying that i like the way in which Kim behaves but I wish the others would just let Kim’s storyline be her own. Yes, she’s had addiction issues and we have all witnessed it in great detail, but slamming someone bc they have an illness isn’t fair. People think that it gives them a free pass to treat them disrespectfully or as if they are children. That annoys me. We don’t know these women’s lives or what they’ve been through. It just annoys me to see everyone disrespect her by talking about her behind her back as if she is a child all the time. And it’s obvious that they don’t care if it offends her. As someone watching, it just feels wrong to me. She’s a grown woman and still deserves the same respect as anyone else.
So she can show up drugged out of her mind at group functions and no one is allowed to discuss it? You have some serious issues surrounding alcohol. Sounds like you are projecting a personal situation onto this show.

If somebody walks into my home and shits in the middle of the floor, it is not treating them disrespectful to say “What is that? Shit on the floor? Don’t do that again”
I’m a pretty easy person. If you don’t want me to ask about shit on the floor, don’t shit on my floor. If you shit on your own floor, I may not visit, but won’t mention it because it doesn’t concern me.
When Kim insulted and threatened Lisa R, she shit on her floor. Lisa has every right to ask that Kim not do that again.
Oh! And further, if you are using illness as an excuse, that’s another load of BS. If someone has a condition that makes them really want to shit on other people’s floors, it is their responsibility to seek medical attention for it, not the homeowner’s responsibility to clean it up and pretend it doesn’t smell.
So kim basically hijacked this whole season! Maybe she’s smarter than everybody thinks and an even better actress. Just sayin….
Tehran has a ton of opium (Iran in general has a high number of opium addicts), so even that’s out for Kim.
I guess Brandi meant so easily available. But she’s a scrunt (stupid cunt), so I’m not giving her the benefit of the doubt.
I was very saddened by the pathetic spectacle of women in windows in the Red Light District — I had expected more of carnival feel, somehow. Instead it was just drab & icky, IMO.
I concur — the Germans are worse.
Where is the “r” in stupid cunt?
Carnival feels are in Brazil. Amsterdam is known for smoking weed and Red Light District.
It’s a slang abbreviation — I didn’t make it up; just thought it was funny, Sherlock Holmes.
I know what it is like in Amsterdam — I’ve been there, I thought I made it clear that it was not what I expected. Thanks for wasting my time regurgitating back what I just wrote on the mistaken belief that you are providing some kind of insight.
And Joran van der Sloot…..killer. I had to deal with many Dutch people when I worked on the Natalee Holloway investigation and it was NOT a pleasant experience. But, yeah, the Germans are worse!!
I must say, I was an editor (yeah I know, it’s not that I can’t it’s that I don’t have time or like to) at IBM cleaning up their technical manuals. Many of which were written by foreigners from around the globe. I’d have to call them often for clarification. The Dutch guys were by far the sweetest and would bring me presents when they came to Atlanta.
Certainly not all people from any country are rude. That said, Yolanda was trying to explain the brusque nature of her peoples. As someone who used to vacay in Curacao every year I can assure you that genteel is not a quality many Dutch (of Germans) possess.

If Kim Richards is acting regarding her sobriety (or lack thereof) she is sicker than I thought. This is a horrible story-line and I am sick of Kim, Brandi and Kyle. Enough already, these people aren’t that interesting. Move on and get rid of the dead weight.
Yep. Kyle is a big part of the Kim drama. God, drop them both!!!
@megynwhite – That’s what I was going to say!
scrunt I love it…You just killed me I am laughing my ass off.
Scrunt almost makes me laugh as hard as shart. Shart being what Kim did to that poor pillow.
@PixNTrix – It makes no sense because there is no “r” in either word.
I’ve been worried that next week’s scene with Lisa Rinna was way to soap-opera-y staged/acted, but this episode showed Kim starting to push Lisa’s buttons, so I’m hoping it’s a genuine moment. So far I think Lisa R and Eileen have been GREAT for this show.
I was shocked that Yo actually took a sip of that ice cream shake, she’s so crazy about her kids eating one almond.
Tamara I think it’s a close toss-up between the Dutch and Germans, but I too give the final point to the Germans as I’ve met a few very nice Dutch.
Trust me the Germans are the worst, try having German in-laws. The things my MIL says. Horrifying.
Yes, they were my in-laws to-be! Dodged that bullet, haha. And I had a German co-worker who argued about everything. The sky is blue! No, it’s not! Yet we’ve had Dutch roommates who were the sweetest couple ever.
I’m dying to know what your MIL says.
iloveearlygrey: Where to begin, some of my favorites are asking if I had to be at the rehearsal dinner, after all it was their party as they were paying for it. Looking me dead in the eye and saying never in a million years did I imagine I could have a granddaughter be so beautiful. The general criticizing of everything I do or say. Seriously there could be 2 identical apples if one came from Germany it would be superior is some way shape or form.
Kendra, you may be right in how you read your in laws. Let me give you another take on it – take it or leave it.
It is one thing stating opinion, that is not criticism.It is to establish a common ground. Criticism in European version is when they say: you should have, you could have, why did you, how can you, I don’t like…etc.
Otherwise they may be stating theirs thoughts, which with accent and broken (?) English may sound, well harsh. I don’t think they are trying to harm you or they wish you bad. You may be reading too much into it.
Relax a bit, they have a bit british type of humor if not harsher.
I knew, I adjusted well in this country the minute I started to answer to: “how are you doing” – “I am ok, thank you”. Over in Europe don’t ask people how are they doing unless you are prepared, and really interested in truthful answer. They will tell you then; oh gee today is not the day, I’ve been better, and so on. It is clash of the cultures. My intentions are never vile, still 20 years later I hear every so (too) often: I am a negative person, I am mean, inconsiderate. I just feel misunderstood – it hurts.
I am Polish, 22 years later in America.
Awww Ooopsie, that is sad. Big hugs to you.
I was wondering what was in the drink she had at the beginning of the race! The Dutch and German people I’ve met on holidays were cool. My son fences and his instructors are Eastern European -they’re blunt and direct-no niceties there. Don’t bother saying please & excuse me-they don’t get it-You’ve got to just make it quick and direct or they have no respect for you. My son always feels like they hate him.
@chase:They don’t hate him. And yes Europeans fall short on: “nothing personal, I don’t want to hurt your feelings, you are so great, I am sorry, please” They go by: ” here is the plan and we are going to follow it, no excuses”. Hopefully it helps.
I never realized what a nasty bitch Kim is. She is furious her pill popping was exposed and of course takes no blame for her relapse by getting completely wasted on national t.v. I love how Brandi forgets to mention that she told LisaR that Kim was suicidal and it is way worse than anybody knows. Brandi put out far more damaging information behind Kim’s back than Lisa Rinna ever did. Brandi looked like she wanted to kill Kim when she jammed up the escalator. she must be broke because I have seen Brandi in that prom dress quite a few times. Brandi and Kim deserve each other. Kyle should look at this as a gift from God.
Kim is just getting nastier and nastier with every episode. She has misplaced anger but who she really needs to be mad at is her damn self. Shes still trying to sell of the bridge to nowhere that doesnt drink, doesnt smoke nor do drugs…well..what the hell is a pill, It’s not candy or a vitamin! Kyle and Kim’s kids deserve so much credit putting up Kim’s addiction shenanigans for as long as they have. Because had this been me I wouldnt last as long as them.
I agree. I was just talking about another addict blaming someone else for their lifelong troubles. It gets tired after a while. Very victim-ey but sadly the only role they may have ever been taught. At some point self awareness must come into play to learn new behaviors- and to live.
Because Kim was literally my childhood idol, I can’t help but be sad for her 🙁
Brandi is egging Kim on.She likes to stir things up with Kim for for the purposes of .entertainment.
She is evil and insulting.
She believes people buys her act.
CocoBrown,
I TOTALLY AGREE! I am so sick of Kim’s displaced anger! Kim has to punish Kyle for everything wrong in her life.
My humble opinion is Kim is very jealous of Kyle and the life she has now. She constantly has to punish her. I hope Lisa R gives it to her good next week.
I loved seeing Lisa R rise like Phoenix from her chair in the preview. Thats gonna be good reality tv even if it’s slightly over the top.
Coco, you’re spot on!! The damage that Kim Richards has done to her own kids, to her sisters and their kids, is immeasurable. With Brandi ‘ s help, she has trashed her relationship with Kyle. And Brandi Has Outed Kim ‘ s pathetic desperation by disclosing the late night calls and being “on the patch” just to make Brandi seem like a good friend. Kim is a big, addicted dummy. I wouldn’t have the patience to put up with her lying ass either.
I think someone said yesterday that Kim isn’t talking to any of them anymore but I can’t wait to see the chemistry at the reunion after Kim has seen what Brandi has said behind her back while pretending to be her best friend. Annnnd breathe!
Im just amazed at Brandi’s manipulation. She told all those half truths to Kim to get her going against Lisa R. Now Lisa R is going to go ape next week. I just can’t wait Lisa R to come out her chair and handles Kim.
Oh @Kat I had to be nosey… I think you might be right. Brandi doesn’t follow any of BH wives other than Lisa R on Twitter dont know about Yo. But I think she unfollowed Kim. Hmm.
i don’t necessarily think lisa r. has the best motives. she seems pretty busybodyish to me. i think that’s why kim was particularly pissed off. plus the whole thing about an addict’s claiming to be sober when she isn’t. addicts lie, and they get very defensive when outed. particularly by a stranger who prolly doesn’t give two shits about her.
I can’t watch the full episodes like I was once able. I have to tolerance/patience/understanding for addicts. My dad was an addict for 20+ years and it was something we could not discuss. But now he goes to church and regarded as a saint for cleaning up his act. Everyone has forgotten all the crap us kids were put through. I Call bs and I always will. So he says that I am evil.
Now in Kim’s situation, she is selfish enough to go down these dark paths of drug abuse. When it’s over and she cleans up, does she apologize to her children and family for putting them through the crap that one goes through having to witness a family member being high? Probably not. When Kim comes out of this and cleans up, she will continue receiving her 27k a month from the Davis family as part of her divorce
**I have NO tolerance/patience/understanding for addicts
I’ve been sober for 22 years and my family acts like I started AA last week. I only drank for eight years-5 as an alcoholic! There’s an important step in AA where we apologize and make amends but a lot of people miss that step and just prefer not to talk about the past–it’s sad and unfair to friends or family. You deserve an apology and a chance to talk about the effect his drinking had you then hopefully move on. My friend was in the same situation as you with her dad and eventually let it go-she was too frustrated and had to move on with her life.
Kim plays victim well, but there is a certifiable bitch in there for sure. She likes pitting people against each other, remember how she was with Lisa and Ken. Kim has zeroed in on Lisa R and is coming after her. Can’t wait of reunion when she makes excuses for Brandi talking behind her back and implying she’s a drunken druggie
Yeah I thought Brandi was being a total hypocritical, shit disturber telling Kim what M as said about her, but omitting her part of the conversation. Not a fair or nice thing to do at all. Kim has been showed wasted on the show, made rehab and recovery a storyline, and been a total wasted lunatic again. I don’t nt equate her with Harry Hamlin. But okay, maybe Lisa opened herself up for that. Anyway, Lisa is probably over it now. I know I am. Kim is a jerk and I dont care that shes relapsed. I no longer give a shit.
You nailed it.
UGH! Kim was so unbelievably obnoxious..I can’t with her. The misplaced anger seems like withdrawal to me. Poor Kyle, she’s been catching it for the last 3 eps. Yo continues to be the fab one…loved her ichat/facetime with her mom. Love Rinna much, but what’s going on with her skin?
I noticed that too! Her skin was a mess on the plane.

Long time reader here, first comment.
I was born on the Netherlands, live in the US now.
I have to tell you, I was “shocked” when I heard Yolanda talk to her mom in Dutch, they spoke their own language, I think it was either “fries” or a dialect from Groningen.
Very interesting.
Maybe Kim is angry at herself for relapsing.
Hi tulip. Big hug.
Do you agree with Yolanda’s: “dutch are assholes”? I don’t really watch episodes as they premiere, I watch reruns later on during the week, so I am not exactly sure about the context of her statement. I am hoping for some playfulness there.
It looked to me like she has what’s called “orange peel skin”.
This was referring to Lisa Rinna’s skin, but it didn’t show up under that comment.
i liked the scavenger hunt, but yolanda was being really annoying about that chocolate shake and I feel like had they chose vanilla she would have said she didn’t like vanilla because she didn’t want a shake period.
It was really odd seeing lvp in tennis shoes and yoga pants
Anytime kim is on, it’s just sad like really sad
Hmm I actually like Yolanda this season. Maybe because shes playing more of a downgraded role and not bitching a lot about not being invited to all the parties and events. I did like the charity fundraiser Yo and David handle. Last season they didnt do much when it came to charity so it was great seeing that and them having fun too.
I also liked seeing Camille even if it was for a hot second. My, she and Kyle have come a long ways since season 1.
I wonder if we will get to see them smoking though. That would be a fun watch mainly since Lisa V is quite ready for it.
Yolanda was so childish about the chocolate shake! It sounded like she actually yelled at Lisa R., calling her greedy for wanting a chocolate shake so now she had to eat it. That is a very serious eating disorder I think.
I believe the $36 million was referring to Yolanda’s daughter regarding a contract she signed. If you notice Kyle was reading a magazine and she alerted Yolanda that there was a mention of her daughter in it
Oh so you think one of Yo’s daughters signed a $36 million modeling contract. Thanks for self identifying.

@Faith – WRONG
I am so sick of Brandi’s sour puss face and attitude. Please don’t bother coming back next season since you’ve put it out there that you may not. Take Kim with you! Kim has used her recovery as her story line for 3 seasons, and now doesn’t anyone to be concerned? Well then let us all be not concerned! Well sorry dear, but there is the door Kim.
Brandi started that whole shit with Kim and Lisa R. She sure as hell didn’t tell Kim what she said in that convo to Lisa R on Kim being suicidal and on patches! Kim ate up for Brandi told her ass though. Both Brandi and Kim are some hot messes.
I’m over those two. They are just wasting my time when I could be watching scenes with everyone else!
Lisa went to the lunch to talk about Brandi not Kim. Brandi was the one who BROUGHT UP Kim to deflect from her behavior. Nice of BG to leave that out of the story.
Kim was nasty but actually appeared lucid for the past two episodes. She looks bitchy and cranky probably from withdrawal of whatever she is on. I think Kim is only sweet when she is on something. I get the feeling that this is her true personality.
She sure wasn’t sweet on poker night, and we know she was on something.
Does anyone else find it anjoying she keeps saying she took “a pain pill?” Sure seems like she is on a lot more than “a” pill that night. I agree with most of what has been said that Kim is just not fun to watch at all anymore this entire season. I bet it would have been a mcuh better season without her. Brandi is just a whore for air time so jumped onto Kim’s story line.
Brandi said she wont forgive Kyle for what she has done and said to her. Did Kyle have lunch with Scheana or LeAnn? What did Kyle supposedly do to Brandi??
Josie, I was confused by that comment too. I’ve been searching my brain for what Kyle did to Brandi. And she said it so angrily. Brandi is exhausting.
That is this season’s mystery. I think Brandi, by her frequent mentions of Kyle’s vacations, is jealous that Kyle is getting the vacations and Brandi to have something to do with the show is stuck with Kim.
Kim seems to show signs of manic depression/bipolar disorder. My mom suffers from that and I recognize those nasty lows anywhere.
I agree Alexa. I have it too and I also recognize the nasty lows; that’s when you want to commit suicide.
Alexa, I agree. I have a niece who suffers from bipolar disorder and she can turn really nasty and paranoid in an instant. And she Never takes responsibility for her own actions, just like Kim. It’s Always somebody else’s fault.
Slightly off topic, but ANOTHER MYSTERY SOLVED BY READING THE ANDY COHEN DIARIES! A few months ago I was catching a late night repeat of WWHL. I’m partially deaf, so I always watch with the captions on. The problem was, the captions did NOT match the show – the show onscreen was some HW guest, but the captioning kept referring to Salmann. Huh? Next night I tune into WWHL and guess who the guest is? Salmann Rushdie.
Reading the Cohen Diaries, Andy reveals that some WWHLs are not LIVE. We knew one on ones were not live, but sometimes the show double tapes to accomodate Andy’s schedule, especially when he was on his book tour. The callers are people who posted questions to Twitter or FB and were called back to ask their question “Live.” The polls? Presumably taken by people in the clubhouse but not directly addressed.
What happened the night I caught the glitch is easily explained in this context: someone effed up and put the captioning up for Monday’s show on the late night Sunday repeat.
By the way – The Cohen Diaries is a great break room book – the type you have no intention of reading in one sitting, but because of it’s structure is perfect to keep at the office and read on your breaks.
Really? WWHL is not always live? People “call in” during taping? Wow such shocking statements!

I noticed, for example, the comments by others above and below this comment refer to content in tweets and books.
Interesting recap. I had been wondering about the $36 mill.
*giggles*
I tweeted Andy once, and asked if he used production interns to pose as “live callers” if no one actually called in. He blocked me.
probably, i’ve only watched like 3 eppi’s of WWHL and it always sounds like it’s the same 3 callers.
He blocked you just for asking that??? Geez. Sounds like a rather innocent question to me. Harsh much.
I block for much less. I love the new mute feature. I really don’t want stupid on my notifications page.

I was mad no one seemed to care that Kyle lost her jewelry bag. I would have freaked out! Brandi is such a bitch.
That easy my when Kyle asked if anyone would touch their lips to something Brandi had hers on!
Lisa Rinna is my favorite and I can’t wait to see what Kim says about going after her husband. What a weird thing to say!
I agree about Kyle’s hag. I would have offered to help look at least. Kim was a bitch to compare Kyle’s mishap to the times that Kim missed many planes and boats!
Kyle deserves to lose her jewelry if she packs it in a roll on piece of luggage that may end up being checked by a flight attendant. It goes in your personal bag that never leaves your hand until you get to the hotel safe.

I was really hoping it was costume jewelry. What idiot loads up a roller bag with expensive jewelry? I always only take what I can wear on the plane. Everything else is inexpensive stuff I pack.
Yep. Jewelry, medication, makeup …should be in carry on luggage and with you at all times.
I thought that was her carry on? Some people use a small rolling carry on.
II travel a LOT and thought the exact same thing.
i started to say the same thing before rereading what tamara wrote. she said “roll on piece of luggage that may end up being checked by a flight attendant.” if the luggage compartments are full, for example, your bag could end up being checked even if it is a roll on designed to fit in the overheads/under seats.
They just got off an international flight (in the company of many people who don’t like each other). They probably cared, but I’ve been there: I will do anything to get to the hotel and drop dead. They just didn’t edit to focus on concern, edited to focus on Kyle taking up time so Kim could segue into her latest meltdown.
Great point BH. In my head I was thinking that I’d be calm and help her find the bag then for the entire car ride to the hotel I’d lecture her on how not to let it happen again. But you’re right. Flying is so stressful and especially for such a long time. I’d probably be bitching along with the others.
You do realize there is more than one taxi available in Amsterdam, right? After a polite half hour wait, I’d let everyone know I’ll meet them at the hotel.
All i can say is I sure hope the reunion zooms in on Brandi referring to kim being on the patch.
Why? Brandi will say she was talking about a nicotine patch to help her quit smoking. She left it vague like that on purpose.
Kim will buy it.
Exactly, Brandi is Jax in drag, will imply and let it out there to start crap and then feign innocence. Crazy!
I love to see Kim’s true colors shine shine shine!! Did I hear her correctly tell us that she does not take meds that are not perscribed to her? It seems like shes forgetting what she has revealed.
Hey! I trademarked that. Where is me moneys?
Also, and I feel like I say this all the time, just because Kim may have a prescription, it doesn’t necessarily mean she isn’t abusing pills. Again: just because it’s prescribed, it doesn’t just automatically make the pill use legit.
Exactly BH. Anna Nicole Smith had lots of prescriptions. They just go doctor shopping until they find one who will comply with what they are seeking.
I’m disappointed by Yolanda and her comment that Dutch people are rude. Dutch people are not fake-nice to others and sometimes bluntly honest, but that’s eventually the best….
Um she’s Dutch. At least she is self aware.
Poor Lisa R — I kept wishing that she would just smile and say “No” when Kim was demanding that she “leave it alone, stop talking”. Again, it’s Kim bitching and if she isn’t blaming her sister, she’s blaming an outsider. Same old repeat.
Kyle’s body language when Kim started going off: when she shrank back under her coat…that’s a step, rinse, and repeat move that takes years to master by way of toxic family cycle….this family needs group therapy and outside of Kim going to rehab, Kyle needs Al-Anon, desperately. It’s all a mess and I feel badly for them all, even when they screw up. This no picnic for anyone involved by any stretch of the imagination and the only way it can be healed is with clear, consistent, devoted treatment by medical professionals. Hot mess, indeed.
Saw the same thing and it’s so nauseatingly sad to watch! Ping-ponging between the self-soothing & attention seeking behavior is not an easy cycle to break.
Oh, Jesus, thank you! So glad that somebody else sees there is more to this than just Kim. The entire family is so enmeshed, they thrive and play off of each other. They pass around blame, the victim role, a get, unsupportive, etc. Get help for that whole family!!!
The show just seems like one big clusterfuck. Now I remember why I stopped watching this show everything just seems super petty. Just my opinion not looking for hate.
i think the only hate you’d get is from delusional people. guessing most of us know it’s super petty. doesn’t mean it’s not entertaining, but considering how most of the shows and blog comments this season have been about kim’s “sobriety” storyline and brandi’s nonsense, it’s getting more and more unwatchable for lots of us.
Hi! I am a longtime lurker and this is my first comment. I wanted to shed light on the question over the magazine and $36 million deal. It was Kyle I believe that stated to Yolanda “both of our daughters are in the “magazine”.
Kyle’s daughter, Farrah closed a 36 million dollar real estate sale. I did research it by looking up the publication they quoted, as well as thru her real estate sales history. Farrah works with Mauricio and is doing a heck of a job! I did not look up what it had to say about Gigi Hadid as we all see her success with modeling and thought it was most likely regarding her success. Tamara, I love you blog, enjoy the comments and just wanted to say Thank you for being you!
Thanks Scarlet!
Wow, that shot of Kim’s face on the plane with the sun shining on her face: not a good look. That should be inspiration enough to quit smoking and drinking.
I want a GIF of Lisa V “running” in Beverly Hills. Hilarious.
Lisa should take running lessons if she wants to attempt that again (I’m sure she will not). And that outfit wasn’t doing her any favors.
Dear god, do some of you actually think a teen model signed a $36 million contract? I was confused about what they were talking about too, but all I had to do was push the handy pause button on my remote to see the article they were pointing at was about a real estate deal Kyle’s daughter, Farrah, had made. It also mentioned her listing Faye Dunaway’s home.
Yeah, we’ve more than established this by now.
Kim. Must. Go. She’s a self centered person that warrants nothing positive. Just looking at her makes my skin crawl. Time to switch the channel!
Anyone else think that Kim is just a bitter, horrid harpy? My opinion is that she has always been miserable and nasty. Then, when called on it, she blames addiction.
I”m pretty sure it is possible to be a shithead on or off drugs. I think the nasty might be in her DNA and not solely in the pills.
It’s more likely that Kim’s drug use is to blame for her behavior. Unfortunately, drugs alter brain function. I just told a friend about a study recently published about cannibus and it’s link to BPD and Schiz. I have people in my family who are addicts and I’ve been in a support group for family’s dealing with an addict…..they are never the same even in recovery.
Cite that imaginary study because it’s bullsit. You’re just spitting anti marijuana propaganda because you’ve fallen for the governments lies.
Never the same? I would hope not. Recovery has given me a life I never thought possible before. I personally would not want to go back to how I was at any point before. I think it’s called growth or something.
Good job Bliss!! You won the game 🙂
Thank you Kat for calling out Tanya’s BULLSHIT “study”. If marijuana was linked to Schizophrenia, over half of the US population would have it. And I thought they took BPD out of the DSM.
My pleasure LBND. Plants are not the enemy, it’s the processed garbage including food and “FDA approved” medications that do the most harm. However, I dont believe that smoking is a safe way to intake any substance, no matter the health properties. I don’t even use it myself I just think it’s crazy what misinformation the government is spreading about it.
Tanya’s comment was not bullshit. Yours is however on every point. There are numerous studies linking schizophrenia to pot use. These are not causal studies as you would suggest (that pot causes schizophrenia) the connection is that those with a genetic predisposition to schizophrenia have a very high rate of pot usage.
As for borderline personality. It’s a very real thing. And the lastest DSM-5 makes it even easier to “qualify” for the disorder.
Just because you don’t like what someone has to say about a scientific study, doesn’t make it bullshit. Have a few tokes and a seat.

Great reply. Thank you.
The studies, not govt propaganda, relates to how certain uses of pot, at certain levels, used by people with preexisting Schizophrenia, (usually undiagnosed or living with a low-grade version), can be highly-exacerbated by use of pot and force patient into a mental state difficult to treat with usual medications.
Its easy to lazily say “pot does this”. But pot that’s been stepped-on or a borderline person suddenly using what are excessive amounts for THEM, can create this situation. I’m a pro-pot person so don’t shoot the messenger. Pot is not a neutral, non-active ingredient.
Of course pot can enhance conditions you already have. The other poster implied that it causes schizophrenia and bpd. That’s bullshit.
Nope, the potheads just read in the causality part. A link between does not mean causality.

Okay, I’m not a pothead, but it is likely that pot is probably the least of Kim’s concerns (if that’s how it even came up).
I’m sure I’ll get beat up for saying this, but I think I’d prefer someone smoke pot over cigarettes.
Okay, start the attack.
BHWannaBe – like me, you can be pro-pot but not be a pothead. And I agree with what you said, fwiw.
People with schizophrenia smoke more weed. That’s the link. And that’s it. End of story.

I thought that was stupid of Yolanda. I think she accidentally let her bitch show again. It was a about working together for your team right?
I agree with angel (?) about Yolanda’s hidden bitch personality. Her alliance with Brandi the Bitch seems to be more of an alliance Against Lisa Vanderpump for having not been invited to the “all-important” star on the sidewalk award amongst other stuff. Yolanda has repeatedly referred to Lisa V. for not having invited Yo to this or that function. Brandi even called Yo’s daughter an alcoholic but Yo keeps up the bs friendship with Brandi. Maybe if Brandi Starts the Rumor that Yo’s lady parts stink, it will Finally show Yo what’s up with that toxic twat Brandi.
Ha! I forgot about Yo’s big deal about Lisa not inviting her to stuff. And then Lisa “has to work” instead of attending the fancypants charity event in Calgary. 🙂 Shade by Vanderpump.

Kyle threw shade bringing up Harry’s prob in limo.
Hate to admit that Brandi was spot on!! Kim is “sober” until Kim is ready to “admit” she has a problem. Lisa R should NOT be taking Kim’s inventory.
People get paid to help people with addictions
Why do we assume that Harry has a problem because he chooses not to drink? Could he not just have made a decision to not follow in his brother’s footsteps, or to provide a better role model to his children. That’s what parenting is all about.
Exactly.

I do agree that it wasnt explicitly stated, and would agree with you except for the constant inferences Lisa R herself kept making:
“It’s very much in Harry’s family DNA ..he had to BREAK THE CYCLE…I have so much admiration for my husband the day he decided to no longer drink…from that day forward he made the decision to change his destiny…after Harry stopped drinking, our lives changed because he just changed because he just made a choice to live a different way”
If you CHANGE your DESTINY by no longer drinking – than you’re most likely an alcoholic.
If you and your spouses LIVES CHANGE by no longer drinking – than you’re mostly likely an alcoholic.
None of this would have to be said if Harry was just a casual drinker who stopped solely in honor of his brother. Kyle would most likely not even know he was sober if he just simply chose not to drink.
@Judymac: huh?
Apparently we just stepped into The World According to Judy.
The Dutch do a 180 from nice, happy people into pure, evil assholes if I tell them what dicks their national soccer team are. The national teams really represent the countries mood as a whole.
I saw the limo ride differently. I saw Lisa Rinna explaining that HH watched two brothers die of alcoholism and saw the lightbulb go off for Kyle as to why Lisa was so concerned about Kim. Lisa was also in the car with Kim was acting CRAZY with the pain meds.
It makes sense why Lisa was so concerned. Between the limo ride with Kim and having Brandi say how bad things were with Kim at lunch, I completely understand why Lisa was so adamant about trying to help Kim. I think it came from a genuine place.
That’s what I saw.
I saw it that way as well.
Me too.
Yolanda really irked me with that milkshake fit as well. Vanderpump ordered a chocolate shake. Yolanda says she doesn’t like chocolate and asks Lisa R. if she likes chocolate. Lisa R. basically says she doesn’t care either way and Yolanda snaps at her to make a decision, so she says that yes she does like chocolate (not that she must have a chocolate shake). Then when they are struggling to finish the shake, Yolanda scolds Lisa R. for being greedy(??) because they didn’t order vanilla and now it is her responsibility to finish it. If I was Lisa R. I would have finished the shake, handed Yolanda the next clue, and politely ask her to insert it into her anus.
Is this going to turn into #milkshakegate?
That was hysterical. I’ve never seen anyone go so crazy about the flavor of a milkshake. How embarrassing.
I think we saw the reaction of a HUNGRY woman, who was pissed off that her chance to finally indulge ended up in a flavor she didn’t want.
I cant wait for next week. Kim looked evil yelling to Lisa “everybody will know!” like a threat. Oh boy, never question Kim’s fake sobriety because she will come for you hard. She once again looks sober in this episode. I think sobriety may be what is making her so ornery. No wonder Kyle is scared of her.
Lisa R repeatedly asked, “why is everyone scared of Kim Richards?” Well, she’s about to find out. Good luck, Lisa!
Isn’t the Lisa R/Kim table scene the same as the Phardra/Kenya scene that will play out Sunday? Let us see who the commenters support (Lisa) and who the commenters attack (Phardra)? Should be interesting.

Kim was mean as a drunk so why shouldn’t she be mean in her (fantasy) sobriety?
Exactly, @RobinR. Drunk or sober she is simply mean. The only intervention needed is for the people who choose to be around her.
I dont mind a bitchy housewife because everyone has a little in them. But there something quite unbearable seeing indenial drug addict and wine-o week in and week out. If Andy drops Kim and Brandi, I hope he brings back Camille and bring in a new villian and maybe downgrade Yo since she already is kind of like a friend of the wives anyhow.
I miss Camille, too!
With the exception of one asshole taxi driver, I found the Dutch to be incredibly friendly. Amsterdam is a wonderful city to visit, although I found the Red Light District just sad. Fingers crossed these buffoons don’t go any where near the Anne Frank House.
If they do go to the Anne Frank house it can’t be worse than when Beiber went.
True! But, they may cause a scene. I could just see them being dumb enough to fight or joke inside the house. At least Beiber just wrote a dumb comment in the guest book.
They totally need to stick to the hash barns. Frankly, (SWIDT?) I would not go back to the Anne Frank house. I have claustrophobic memories and I hate holocaust museums. I get it. It was horrific. I don’t need to see horrific photos and hear horrific stories any more, thanks.

“no honey, you have shown us ALL your dirty laundry, if you wanted us to be quiet, you would have stayed home and off the tv.”
That would be great! Everyone clams up when Kim protests, then she is left feeling right/vindicated. But truthfully she is so often very very wrong..
what is going on with the skin above Kyle’s left eye…is looks very strange. botox injection site? bandage covered with makeup? just very wrinkly dry skin?
I have ALWAYS noticed that skin. I think it’s just deep hangy wrinkles. It distracts me, along with the fleshy colored moles/bumps on her face. I am nit-picking though, because she is truly beautiful.
Her wrinkles could be due to stress and aging gracefully too. I think shes looking better compared to other seasons. Last season I could tell she gained a little weigh, she wasnt fat, but I could tell especially when it came to face. This season she looks like shes been working out more and toned a little. I think Kyle looks nice this season.
I agree coco – the best I’ve seen her. Kyle is a stunning woman.
Kyle looks have really caught my attention in a positive way this season. Some seasons she has appeared a little “dumpy” (short and stocky) but this season, she’s just striking at times in the face. She looks oddly relaxed most of the time despite the drama.

From what I’ve seen of Kim ‘ s nasty behavior this season, she’s got jealousy of Kyle oozing from her pores. Kyle ‘ s not an addict, Kyle has a strong marriage to a good man, Kyle ‘ s kids seem pretty well adjusted, etc. So she latched on to her fellow substance abuser, Brandi, to gang up on Kyle and punish and abuse her full force. Kim was a nasty bitch waiting for an ally, ie Brandi, so she could come after her own sister and anyone who Dares to point out her Druggy behavior. Kim and Kingsley have similar personalities. They both need to be kept away from people.
After this season, I am reluctantly agreeing with you all about Kim. I used to like her and appreciate her weird personality, but now I see that she is mean, manipulative, and very jealous as you said. Not a good look.
Kim recently said that she was sick of Kyle’s jealousy. Maybe Brandi put that in her head. Or, maybe Kim is stuck in the past. If Kyle was jealous of her career at some point in their lives, I highly doubt that she is now.
I didn’t knk
Ooops!
I didn’t know that there was any suspicion that Kyle is an addict.
?
Bingo you nailed it! If Kim were happy, she wouldn’t be acting this way and she wouldn’t want to be friends with Brandi. I can totally see though, why Kim hasnt been able to make a marriage last. Shes difficult and pig headed. She sees only her perspective. She doesnt have the skills and stability that Kyle has to keep a strong family unit, therefore she resents her deeply.
Brandi didn’t just look like she wanted to kill Kim for the bag back-up (as someone earlier mentioned), she was was having a meltdown, kicking at the bags and pushing her way passed her “dear friend” Kim. Brandi will eventually and inevitably turn on Kim and it is going to be vicious!!
Agreed, yet Kim jumps on Kyle. I don’t understand why Kyle doesn’t just rage on Kim, this chick is no wilting rose, Kim shows her bitchy mean side enough that a few harsh words won’t kill her.
Kyle doesnt rage on Kim because of the shit she got on season 1’s limo ride. She could go there if she wanted to but she doesn’t want the negativity like she got the last time.
When I say rage on her I mean, as soon as cameras down I’m coming after you with everything! Why wait for filming, they are sister 12 months of the year. Kyle waits till she gets corner then lashes out with stupidity. These Richard sister can’t talk to each other let alone argue. No one says you have to like family, you didn’t pick them. Kyle got grief because she didn’t back Kim and did Taylor, who was wrong the whole time. Then outed her alcoholism, no like she meant it to help Kim out. Kyle is stupid, period.
LOLOL having a meltdown and kicking at the bags? More like being crushed between two suitcase carts and desperately trying to get out?
This one is almost as hilarious as the poster who swore Yolanda got mad at her daughter for having an almond for dinner.
Word.
Maybe it’s because Kimsley, er Kingsley, ate her laptop.
Sorry marky but what are you referring to?
The weird intonations of Yolanda saying “Dream Team” is going to be my new mantra.
Kim is usually a doe eyed sweetheart. I wonder whether it is the withdrawal that makes her ornery against Lisa or did the drugs make her sweet and likeable? Chicken or the egg?
Someone please feed Lisa R multiple milkshakes! Her skeleton shoulders and arms make me ill, put a jacket on. The pastries on the plane and the food at the charity event looked amazing. Brandi as usual stirring sh*t. Kyle made sure to get that dig in with how long has Harry been sober. Kim is losing it more and more.
I don’t feel like wading through the comments. Has anyone mention the fact that Eileen said she breastfed her son for “a couple of years”?? Ick.
No, but I did make a mental note that she might still be cosleeping with the kid.

Yes, I had a child at 13 – dumb bitch.
You really shouldn’t speak to TT that way.
Most pediatricians now recommend that you try and breast feed to two years and at least one year as the minimum. It helps with reducing asthma, allergies, and diabetes later in life. I made it to 15 months with my kids. They lost interest and that was that.
I got to 13 months with my son, but my coffee addiction got too strong and needed to make a choice. He was fine with the sippy cup and bottle after that. #musthavecoffee
Um not so much. 6 months. But anatomy lets us and other animals know when it is time to stop breast feeding. WHEN YOUR KID HAS TEETH, that’s nature’s way of letting you know they can eat for themselves.

It’s ridiculous for any of us to put a definite number on a national debate topic, but the American Academy of Pediatric’s recommendation is one year at a MINIMUM; the health benefits of breast milk are beyond proven so what would be the purpose of denying nutrients to ones baby because they’re starting to teeth?
Because every other mammal knows that when the spawn gets teeth the breast feeding is over? It’s kind of God’s plan.

By breastfeeding, I would think they meant pumping not actually nursing a two year old with teeth.
You would be wrong. There are whackos out there breast feeding five year olds. No pump. I’m serious.

Gross. Please don’t fucking preach at me about what pediatrician say or what the benefits are. Most everyone agrees that the benefits, if they actually exist at all, are related in the first six months. After that, you’re either an attention whore, a pervert or you have such low self esteem that you have to artificially make someone extremely dependent on you.
And we’re the only mammals that drink the milk of other mammals – we’re the only mammals that do A LOT of things …you know, higher brain function and all that.
Yes, lets ignore the collective recommendation of pediatric licensures in favor of the immature cunt punt whose explanation is “eww icky!!l”
lol. You have a 12 year old latched on, doncha? You can’t make anyone love you. Let it go, loser.
And apparently orangutans – one of our most closely related primates – nurse for 5-7 YEARS…….so HAH!
My baby had two teeth at 2 1/2 months. I breast fed her for two years, with the last six months of the 2yrs., at bed time only. It was all very natural and healthy. I’m not a wierdo or any of the other nasty insults some of you are saying. She was very healthy and I have no regrets.
Sandra, I agree with you. It’s really between baby and mom. My daughter was born at 32 weeks. She was only 4 pounds when born and breastfeeding would start her apnea. I pumped for a while, but I got so anxious, my milk dried up, so she was bottle fed. She did get breast milk for a couple of weeks, so I think that gave her some of the immunities needed. My son was full term and I breast fed until he was 13 mos. As I said in an earlier message, I quit because I missed coffee :). Both kids are healthy happy adults now. I think if you are a loving attentive parent, then do what is comfortable for you and baby, and it will work out.
Jesus Christ. No one fucking cares if you pumped or dried up. It’s so sad that women with low self esteem his behind this bullshit.
Guess what? It’s not an accomplishment.
Oh and half of the bullshit statistics that are advertised are so that the government can get away with giving less formula to the welfare mothers. Welfare mothers don’t give a shit. They want formula and crack and anything else they can get. And liberal idiots but up the party line like the idiotic lemmings they are.
I don’t know where this post is going to wind up but Sandra and LisaMia are totally mommyjacking this thread. I don’t give two shits about how long your babies tittysucked. Go on a mommy board.
And cuntpunt is not a noun. It’s a verb. Dumbfuck. (Noun)
Youn are pride in being like an orangutan? Figures.
Would it really come as a surprise to anyone that an infant orangutan with a tit hanging out of its mouth has more redeeming qualities than you?
What’s that got to do with your being wrong? And..redeeming qualigned are subjective. Yours are stupid.
Your argument being “EWW ICKY” and “government conspiracy against welfare moms” and “liberal agenda”?Congratulations on taking three different realms of crazy dumb bitch and sticking them together in one simmering pot full.
And my qualigneds are better than your qualigneds.
Dear god. Shut tup you unfunny, uneducated steaming pile of shit.
American Academy of Pediatrics is a liberal LOBBYIST GROUP. Not a respected medical association. They’re some Illinois idiots trying to drum of government money for welfare mothers and supporting any laws where the government regulates our health care, how we raise our children and whether we immunize our children and well, pretty much everything related to child rearing. Becaue big government is the best parent.
For reals? Cause I just made all that up to get the bees buzzing.
If a dumb bitch can’t handle the heat then a dumb bitch needs to get out the kitchen.
There are thousands of well respected organizations that have branches linked to politics or fundraising and campaigning activities. That doesn’t make them inherently evil.
Just because I don’t necessarily agree with their political views doesn’t mean it invalidates their research. They don’t have an agenda because they feel like having an agenda. Their research supports infant health through breast feeding and immunization – that is in no way a radical standpoint nor or they stand alone in their assessment.
You make it seen like they’re some backwater cult that worships a nipple statue – they have dozens of thousands of pediatric members, and their values align with being pro breast feeding, pro immunization, and pro same sex marriage – so the fuck what?
That’s all sensible to me. Much more sensible than a theology laced recommendation of “gods plan” and “teeth” when some mammals breast feed for mere days and others for nearly a decade.
I used them as an example because its what first came to mind – the vast majority of theory indicates a year, and that of course does not mean exclusively.
I cited some sources for you Psylocke but the WP ate my post. I don’t know what makes you think that the vast amount of anything states that kids should be breastfeed for a year.
In fact the longitudital studies that I cited stated that the longer one breastfed a child past 6 months the greated the Malnutrition. This is was suspected to be due to the fact that children who are breastfed in late infancy have parents that don’t provide the proper supplemental foods in high enough quantitiy. In other words after s 6 months the kid needs actual FOOD more than breast milk and those who breastfed that long tended to undervalue the importance of food.
As for the mass research on breastfeeding there is no general consensus and there is an ongoing debate between one side who says that breast feed provides immunities and other positive benefits like higher IQ and the other side that says in siblings studies there was no discernable difference between the kid who was breast fed and the kid who was bottle fed with regard to nutrition, IQ, and general health.
Studies regarding breastfeeding rarely went past the year mark and in the study I cited for ever six month interval ( 6, 12, 18 months) the nutritional level decreased.
These new whackdoodle parents like apparently Eileen is who breast feed when they are old enough to hook and unhook the bra are simply unable to set boundaries in early childhood with their kid. Frankly I don’t care how long people breastfeed their kids. THat is their business. I think that chick that played Blossom is planning to go right through the teenage years. I think it’s creepy but I really have no fucks to give about other peoples children anymore. I not lone facilitate Parents Anonymous classes or counsel parents at parent teacher conferences anymore. My days of having to worry about other people parenting techniques are mercifully over.
Do you.

Good episode. Am I the only one who can’t even look at Eileen and Vince in the same scene? To me, they’re the new Adrianne and Paul- they can’t stand each other( especially him) and it’s painful to watch. I love Eileen’s house. I think Lisa is a good addition on the show. Pretty amazing to hear her say basically most of her long marriage, Harry had alcohol issues. She seems like such a real person. Let’s hope Kim is in rehab all of next season so she can’t be on this show anymore!
Where do you live where your version of the show has Eileen and Vince disliking each other? They seem very close to me.

TT, I agree. I like them a lot as a couple, and I’ve seen nothing that makes them seem unhappy together. They are my favorite couple of all the housewives.
I think they’re cute.
Adrienne & Paul claimed they were bickering but you could almost feel the animosity between them. Not to mention the dirty looks Adrienne always shot at Paul. Eileen & Vince bicker but they actually love each other. Big difference.
I could really tell Adrienne was turned off to Paul, and had no attraction to him. Whenever, he would try to touch her, she would shrink back from him and act like he was messing her make up or hair. It was sad. I dont see that with Eileen and her husband. They seem to have a decent rapport and comfort level with oneanother. Eileen seems like a wise woman, who wouldn’t let her marriage drift into contempt or indifference out of neglect or thinking shes better than.
I think other people claimed it was just bickering, or at least they hoped thats all it was, and hoped Paul and Adrienne did love eachother. Ive allways thought that constant and persistent bickering is not a benign ,harmless behaviour. Its a symptom of resentment, disapointment and dissatisfaction with a partner. Its not the way to love and shouldnt be dismissed as nothing.
When I watched the show, I assumed that Harry stopped drinking because he was an alcoholic. After the question was brought up here, (I hope this is ok!) I googled to see if he was. There’s absolutely nothing online about Harry Hamlin being an alcoholic. If he’s in his fifties and only got sober three years ago, I would expect there would be some incidences reported on by now. The only not good things are that he may have done an abusive thing or two to two girlfriends when he was young, but I didn’t read the stories to figure out if it was true. So I guess he isn’t an alcoholic but made a lifestyle choice.
Yes, I think it was a lifestyle choice. Maybe it will get cleared up at the reunion.
I like the Eileen and Vince scenes–they seem like a pretty grounded couple considering how they make a living. I think its cute how in a few scenes they’ve spent one on one time trying to sort out the dynamics of the group. And the scenes with those boys–they seem refreshingly genuine. I think they are super fun to watch–almost as fun as any scene involving LVP’s house!
After watching this episode I am totally over Kim she has become so nasty. Great she has her BFF Brandi. Brandi has managed to turn Kim on Lisa R. Telling Kim what Lisa R said about her was a low act. Lisa R wasnt being malicious, she was trying to look for a way to help Kim . Did Brandi tell Kim she put it out there she was on a pain patch? or the other stuff we saw? We will never know.
At this stage Kim is too out of it to understand that Brandi is the shit stirrer but hopefully she will watch this and understand whats going on when her mind is clearer.
Next episode looks great.. Brandi having a tantrum in the street because she is such a great person… Lisa R finally having enough of Kim’s BS and it looks like Brandi has turned Kim against Eileen too. Just keeping her bestie close to her and cutting everyone else off.
Wonder how much of a bestie Brandi would be to Kim if they both booted off the show? (fingers crossed)
Pretty sure Lisa R. and Eileen didn’t need Brandi’s influence to turn them against Kim. Kim is perfectly unpleasant on her own.
When Brandi and Lisa R, was having lunch and talking about Kim, I thought Brandi made Kim seem like a burden to her. Brandi sure didn’t sound like Kim is her beloved friend. Brandi is a snake and I can’t believe I used to like her.
Im amazed that anyone ,would think it was classy or smart, to go after someone’s spouse ,who is happily married. Of course, the person is going to come out swinging. Can you imagine how those two (Kim and Brandi) would react if someone bad mouthed their spouse to them ,when they actually had a spouse? They would have been livid!! But its okay to do that to married ladies now. Those two make no sense and have no sense. I think they should just go and get drunk and high together somewhere.
Why oh why are people assuming Harry is an alchy? It was a preemptive strike to stop drinking after years of abuse in his family history. Lisar was pretty clear.
Because when someone who is NOT an alcoholic decides to quit drinking it is called “quitting drinking”, not “being sober”
Not true at all.
It seems that Kyle has never worked a 12 Step plan (IE al anon) Kyle, then, would be unfamiliar with the nomenclature. Kyle asked Lisa R. how long Harry had been sober. Kyle could have easily meant, “How long ago did Harry quit drinking?” The cast has to interact socially so how much one drank, what one drank– or *if* one drank would be noted.
Brandi did the same thing. In a talking head, Brandi said she (Brandi) wasn’t “sober.” (btw, how is my punctuation, TT?;) Brandi didn’t catch her own pun because she, like Kyle, isn’t familiar with recovery lingo.
Kim understands. She knows the language of the addict. And she pulls pat statements outta her bagga tricks because she. Is. Not. Ready. To. recover. And as sad as that is– there’s nothing short of involuntary commitment that will delay the imminent
You are expecting KYLE to know that?

Then humor me and explain what a sobriety checkpoint is? Guaranteeing only teetotalers roam the highways?
Sometimes people assume you are a alcoholic,when you say you quit drinking. But it can be for many personal reasons. I got the impression Harry had a bit of a drinking problem though, because Lisa R. said it changed everything and he became a different person. That is telling , as if someone had no drinking problem, then there wouldnt really be a change, except that they no longer drank. Not sure it was cool for Kyle to disclose on camera. Lisa R. hadn’t said anything about Harry having a drinking problem before. If he nipped it before it got out of hand, perhaps they dont care to spot light it.
Kim is dangerously delusional. The longer Bravo keeps her on the show the closer they get to a colossal crisis with her. It is no longer entertainment. It is a train wreck waiting to happen.
Kim has no respect for others, just does what she wants (Eileen was right on). She acts so angry about being questioned. yet has no remorse or embarassment for her outlandish rude ,and bizarre drugged out behaviour. I dont like Kim at all. Shes a perpetual child in a fifty year old body. I have no problem minding my beeswax , as I think with her attitude and lack of integrity, shes a lost cause. Eileen was treated so awful by Kim and Brandi, and was way too gracious and far kinder than they deserved. Now they say they dont like her. What the hell?
Also I couldnt get over how afraid of KIm ,Kyle is. Thats so weird to me. I cant imagine being afraid of a sibling when im a grown ass woman. Kyle is the one who has a life. What the hell does she need Kim for? I would refuse to censor myself or be afraid of her, and if she didnt behave herself ,I’d limit the amount of contact.
I thought it was so rude how much the women complained about the scavenger hunt. I believe Yo set it up in good faith, yet the majiriy of the women were immature and whiney about it. I thought Lisa V’s approach was the right attitude–fun and not like WWIII. Jumping on the tour bus was funny!
TT don’t get mad . Let me start by saying , I’m not making a joke and I know I’m late to the party , forgive me .
So, where are we on this Yolanda Lyme disease thing? How does Lyme disease work? Can you run around healthy as a horse one day And be down sick the next ? (Not kidding ) Yolanda looked as well as can be running around Beverly Hills with the rest of the women .
I know it’s been said a bunch of times but let’s get rid of Kim and bring Leann on as the newest HW. That would be so awesome! LOL
I think someone is slipping Yolanda some tannis root in her shakes and that’s the cause of all her ailments.
Did anyone catch the comment Brandi made about Lisa V. smoking pot and asking for some Giggy and peanutbutter? I’m pretty sure that was a reference to people who put peanut butter on their lady parts to get oral sex from their dogs.
