I’ve been trying to do this post about Lisa Rinna on Kelly & Michael and my Dance Moms recap all day but between the PLATE SIZED snow flakes outside all day beckoning me and Banjo out into the hood and the Jodi Arias case going to the jury I have fallen behind. Sorry, me and Banjo LOVE snow. Sidenote: we were pretty much the only ones out in it which was problematic when one of us got tangled in a briar patch whilst the other one became impatient. Anyway. On to the show.
Lisa comes out in a skin-tight orange dress with black accents on the sleeves. Clearly, Lisa Rinna and Kelly Ripa are two peas in a pod when it comes to starving themselves to be tiny. I’m just saying. And they are both on something that makes them both very perky because you know they are starving and can’t possibly be that pleasant without some sort of medical intervention.
Kelly wants to know what Lisa’s survival techniques are for being on the show. She says well, first of all I knew everyone except for Brandi Glanville coming on to the show. She’s know them all for two decades or more. She says survival for her is telling the truth and being her authentic self. That is all she knows how to do. Kelly says so since you know them, when you are filming to you think to yourself, “Why are they doing that? What is going on?” Lisa says, “Yes, every moment of every day.” She says they have had a lot of fun and do a lot of fun things. This is not the hardest job. I go to parties and I go to lunches. I go to more parties, I go to more lunches. And then we go to Amster…DAMN!” Kelly says that seems like a recipe for disaster. 
Michael asks what Harry thought when she asked him about it. Lisa says, “I went to Harry and said I’m thinking about this and he looked at me and said, ‘If you do this show, I will divorce you’. And I said okay and I walked away and I was done with it.” Fortunately for us he changed his mind. Lisa says, “I literally was like, I am done with it. And he comes to me about a day later and he goes (to Kelly)…and you’ve met him, (Kelly says sexy!) Lisa says I was gonna say mellow, there is not a lot of emotion there. He’s very low-key…and he said, ‘I’ve thought about this and I actually think it might be a good idea for you to do it.'” I don’t believe this story because Lisa has been begging to get on RHOBH since season one.
Kelly says what is the hardest part? Lisa says that for her, she was raised to have no feelings. You just don’t say what you feel about anything. “So to do this show you have to think out loud and you have to have an opinion so it has kind of freed me in a sense. So in a way it is hard for me to say what I feel. But now, in a way you can’t stop me, so now I have become this truth-seeking monster. ”
Lisa says she loves doing the talking head interviews. She loves getting to say whatever she feels. She really likes it.
Michael asks if she gets caught up in all the social media. Lisa says no. She tries not to be. But it’s hard. Lisa says as an actor she tries never to watch herself. Kelly says she never watches herself at all. Lisa says here is the thing, you have to watch it because you have to blog about it. Kelly is all like oh HELL no. Lisa says she hates watching herself on the episodes but she has to and then she sees things the other women have said about her which she didn’t know at the time. She says it’s like Chinese torture and then you have to write a blog about it. She says “they” ( Bravo) are evil geniuses.
Kelly says that Lisa and Harry are the sexiest couple. Lisa says she is so blessed. And we’re done.
I love Lisa, she is really a breath of fresh air in BH.
Love Lisa Rinna, finally, finally Bravo is upping the ante, Eileen and Lisa are keepers. Kim and Brandi, tick tock.
Hasn’t Yolanda worn that dress on a reunion?
Good memory. I believe you are correct — I remember thinking Yo looked like a piece of candy corn with the orange dress and blonde hair. I believe it is a Victoria Beckham design — and Lisa R. said last night on WWHL that she loved Victoria Beckman dresses (she wore a black Victoria Beckham on WWHL).
Love me some Lisa Rinna. She really seems genuine. I hope she puts that dim light bulb AKA Kim in her place next week. And the reunion ! Been a while since I’ve so looked forward to one of the Real Housewives shows. This one may even be as good as Claudia reading Nene. One good episode for each show per season. GOD !! We deserve so much more.
I also think Lisa R is very genuine. I hate when people on blogs or Brandi say that she seems like she is acting all the time. I really don’t get that feeling from her. I think Brandi may be projecting a bit on that one..
http://s17948.p858.sites.pressdns.com/2015/02/26/who-is-more-hilarious-brandi-glanville-or-her-ghost-writer-k-h/ The person on blogs saying that is Brandi’s ghost writer. It’s hilarious. Lisa Rinna is the most straightforward person ever on any RH franchise.

I never had good or bad feeling about Lisa Rinna, but I loved her on Celebrity Apprentice. She was genuine and funny. She’s coming across the exact same on RW as she did on CA. So I don’t believe that she is ‘acting’ at all.
First time I’ve ever seen Kyle stick up for her sister. Snidely, she asked Lisa R…”How long has Harry been sober now?” Talking head says “How does it feel?”
Now that I’ve gotten that out of my system…you’re right about Kelly and Lisa…drinking the same water, I guess. Love that energy.
Envy your dog walk.
It’s true that Kyle didn’t stick up for Kim season 1 when Taylor threatened to “go Oklahoma on [her] ass!” But Kyle stuck up for Kim against Brandi at Game Night and thought it was hilarious that Kim hid Brandi’s crutches.
Kyle also stuck up for Kim against Lisa in Paris when, after Kim slept for almost 24 hours, Lisa asked if Kim had maybe taken a sleeping pill.
So last night was *at least* the 3rd time.
Kyle didn’t say anything when Taylor made the remark about going Oklahoma on Kim’s ass because she was sitting there in shock over Kim refusing to speak up about the Camille crap. Kyle just could not believe that Kim would not speak up for her. I don’t blame Kyle one bit. At that point I am sure Kyle wanted to go to Kim’s ass.
Defensive much?
I was pointing out other times Kyle stuck up for Kim.
TT I’m glad you and Banjo are enjoying the snow there. I like to hear when it snows in GA. You all are so appreciative of it 🙂 Ours is coming in this area around after midnite. For us it’s like ok here we go again. What ever Lisa and Kelly take I’d like some, not so much for the skinny, but for the perkiness. Maybe I could get some house work done. Lol
Has the RHOBH reunion filmed yet? I can’t believe Kim would even show up. And if she does, WHICH Kim will show up??
Yeah it has last Friday I think. You know my memory sucks but it was recently lol. I posted about it.

I just saw the Lisa Rinna WWHL and they said it was just last week. No mention of Kim not being there – I can’t wait for it!!! I have new meds, TT, and they are affecting my memory so don’t be surprised if I ask that question again in an hour, HAH!
Everyone was there. There is a blog here about the reunion.

I too starve myself but I am nowhere near that skinny or that perky when I’m hungry… Those two must literally be hungry all the time.
