Erika’s first look in Hong Kong

I had planned to skip the usual boring packing scenes in tonight’s recap. And then I remembered Erika. Erika with the lookbooks and glam squad and stylist collaborations.

Rinna has QVC so she is only going for a couple of days. It annoys me that we are pretending this is an LVP save the dogs trip. That said, if Banjo cries when I leave the house I can’t take it. That dog that got in her limo? So sweet!

We are not even at the airport yet and Dorit is trashing Erika. She’s just not that into you, bitch. Get over yourself. Was that Singapore Air? I could do 18 hours in their business class. The only one who didn’t sleep on the plane was Eileen. 

Dorit and Rinna Hong Kong’s Highest Peak

At the first dinner, Eden starts talking about meeting her Internet boyfriend, London. I’m not sure if I heard correctly, is she flying him to Hong Kong?

Eileen decides to go with LVP and Dorit to the dog function. Will this garner her any favor with LVP? No. So why even bother, Eileen.  Kyle and Erika go sight seeing and oddly, Rinna and Eden go hiking to the highest peak in Hong Kong. Is Rinna planning to shove her off a cliff?

Before the unlikely couple head off to perhaps Eden’s sudden death, Rinna confronts Dorit about making a big deal out of her pill bag. Eden says…wait for it…”It was a joke.” That seems to be the RHOBH excuse of the season. At least she didn’t call it “British humor” this time. Dorit plays stupid about the accusations she made against Rinna.

They take a tram up to the highest peak. It is way up in the clouds about the skyscrapers. After enjoying the view they grab a drink at the restaurant on top of the peak. Eden says it was Dorit that made the drug addict type accusations. Rinna is thrilled she has gotten the information she was digging for. Rinna calls Dorit a fucking pussy. Dorit looks nervous about throwing her under the bus.

 

Erika’s second look

Erika and Kyle got the best activity. They are in a gorgeous park with beautiful bridges and tons of turtles. Ramona Singer and Kim Richards would go nuts over the turtles. Sidenote: Brandi needs to invite her friend Kim over to her rich boyfriends house. He has a turtle and tortoise rescue on his property and it’s amazing. He is so in love with Brandi it’s only a matter of time until he proposes. She seems a tiny bit less obsessed with him. As it should be.

Erika opens up to Kyle about visiting her mother and her relationship with her mother. Erika genuinely likes Kyle. I love this friendship. Kyle and Erika bond over having mothers who put a heavy burdens on them. Kyle talks about going to the psychic and the psychic giving her the same sort of apology that Erika’s mom gave her. They both cry a little.

Okay, I have to confess I have changed out Eden and Dorit and who they are with twice now and I am still not sure.  LVP, Eden and DORIT! (I’ll edit it back in later, I was right the first time) are at the dog documentary thing. I’m not going to recap or watch much of this.

Erika’s 3rd look

Time to fight on the boat. I think it will be a gang up on Dorit event and I’m fine with that. Let’s see if LVP gives her any back up. I’m guessing no.

Dorit has the opening gambit. She must sense the thirst for blood in the air so she tries to save herself by bringing up the bag of pills situation surrounding Rinna.  Dorit demands to know who told Rinna that she said she had a drug problem. Rinna says no one told her, she just had a sixth sense about it. Dorit can tell she is going down for this but put up a modest fight.  Eden, who is in a black wig reminds Dorit that she asked her if she though Rinna had a pill problem.  Dorit suddenly catches  The Rinna Amnesia as one does when being backed into a corner with everyone coming at you. LVP and Kyle dodge the melee with their own cases of The Rinna Amnesia.  This leaves Rinna, Erika, Eileen, Eden and Dorit in the ring.

Kyle gets up and joins LVP on the sideline. Erika tags in for Rinna. Eileen offers to tag in, but Erika doesn’t need the tag. Erika goes all in. It’s headlock. LVP decides she needs camera time and meekly tried a parry on behalf of Dorit. Erika smites LVP into silence. Erika tells Dorit she talks too much. Dorit tries to defend with “You don’t talk enough.” Erika shoots back with ” I say important shit, you say too much boring shit.” Dorit stumbles on unsteady feet.

With Dorit flopping against the ropes Erika asks Dorit what her problem is with her. Dorit says Erika is the only one in the group she has not connected with.
Erika says “That’s because I don’t like bullshit, Dorit and that’s what I think you are.”

The ref comes out and calls a standing out count. Erika takes the belt.

Next week: Rinna wants her own eight rounds with Dorit. The ladies take a frightening gondola ride with glass floors. They finally find some zen standing in the rain in front of a giant Budda.

    I’m glad you decided to go ahead recap this one. Your Beverly Hills blogs are my favorite.

    I thought Erika initially tried to connect with her until Dorit took it too far with the pantygate BS trying to shame her. I would have been done with her after that but Erika seem to at least try to be cordial. She even gave her a nice gift without really knowing her that well. What I don’t like about Dorit is that she tries to act like her passive aggressiveness is a joke or in light fun with her implications. And nothing seems to ever truly die with her just like she accused Eileen of in one of her blogs. She’s really no better. And on another note, who the f*ck cares if someone you just met and tried to gaslight on the show is cold. Lisa Vanderpump is also getting on my nerves with the Erika is an ice queen digs. Just because she worships dogs and is quick on her fit with digs, doesn’t make her any more welcoming as it’s been an issue with her with other cast mates for years. On that note, did Dorit even try to reach out to Erika for a one-on-one to connect? I don’t remember her doing so. I guess it wasn’t in her LVP peon season 1 handbook that was given to she and her fraudulent husband.

      Sorry that I may be in the minority but I like Dorit sans PK. Cohen just showed a clip of next week and it will be epic! The thing with Lisa and the pills with Dorit seemed like a production ploy. Her whole 6th sense thing about something so specific was weird.

    Dorit also brought the pills up at to LVP when Boy George played at her house.
    Maybe production put Dorit up to it? Even if they did, Dorit still made the insinuations.

    Erika has a real storyline, she dances, sings, is unbelievably legitimately rich and now she’s opening up to viewers about her childhood. She does talk important shit. Dorit on the other hand, stretches the truth and judges people for her storyline. I’d love to see her truly open up about her life!
    I have to disagree about LVP though, true she can be wicked. I give the housewives who are funny and charasmatic a huge pass. I know I’m shallow. It is entertainment after all!

      Erika, I think, might be a little bored with all of them, and sometimes you can feel her impatience-when they were in the bus going to Mexico, she kept exclaiming her burrito line, even though other people were having unrelated conversations around her.
      Since it’s clearly the starting point of contention: I don’t think Dorit should have bought Erika the underwear, but I would have never told a group of people that included husbands that I wasn’t wearing underwear in a tiny dress-knowing one of the guys was sitting right across from me. Erika was probably embarrassed after the fact and annoyed that Dorit had to keeping digging at her. I hate that, too, when I am already self-aware but other people feel they have to pile on.
      Dorit does share her life, in as much as her issues with her kids and her upbringing, and that’s all I really need for a first season showing. Still don’t really know shit about Eden, so for sure they might develop her “character” a little bit before we all become as impatient with her as Erika is with Dorit.
      I’ll be odd man out and say that I thought Erika could’ve been a lot more constructive than to tell Dorit that, basically, no one wants to hear her talk. It’s such a snobby, nasty way to be, for a southern girl from a more modest upbringing. It’s the kind of thing I would expect Queen Elizabeth to say, not a chill chick like Erika. I hope Erika is as chill as I thought she was, and doesn’t turn out to be Mrs. I’mbetterthanyou Girardi.

        I think Erika has TRIED to make it clear to Dorit she’s not interested in a close friendship all season but Dorit would NOT let it go, so on vacation after several drinks, she finally just said fuck it and told her flat out.

          Plus I love how Dorit is implying that she’s totally close with all the other housewives but Erika. Um, no. Kyle and Lisa VP? Yes. I even believe that Kyle and Lisa R have known each other for years. Lisa and Eileen? Definitely. Dorit is just a puppet for Lisa VP – I doubt she’s as close as Kyle is to her.

        I was looking at Mikey’s instagram and he and Erika talk through her talking head looks from last year…like her look book for trips, these looks are also tongue in cheek. My guess, since this year’s were not explained, is the bad look is nod to 80s Madonna. But, I agree, it is not her strongest look.

      Really? Dorit has had issues with everyone LVP has had issues with. She constantly makes digs about Lisa Rinna, Eileen, and Erika, even when she pretends she’s friends with them. She’s an annoying, insecure loser who has to make herself feel better by trying to shade Erika because in true Erika Jayne fashion, Erika gives 0 fucks about her. I’ve never seen Erika say anything bad to Dorit until this last episode, but Dorit has tried her best to make Erika look bad with the whole pantygate thing, talking shit about the dress she wore to her bday party, telling Erika she’s never complimented her, and constantly saying she’d cold. Dorit does bite, well, she tries anyway.

        I’m not even sure how useful she is to Lisa’s cause. At this rate, she’ll end up getting groomed and rehomed at Vanderpump Dogs…..

    I thought Dorit and Erika were evenly matched. Dorit held her own pretty well. Erika came at her w the facts but Dorit didn’t seem too fazed.

    Maybe I wasn’t paying enough attention but I don’t really think Dorit meant any malice with what she said in the flashbacks. This all seems like deflection from Rinna to distract from her “close to death” situation. Rinna had too much a smirk.

      She also made implications to LVP off to the side at a party, was very hush hush about it and very sly. Dorit was most certainly making it what she wanted it to be, like she had the goods on Rinna. Dorit is a posser married to a smarmy icky man.

    Yeah it was obvious Erica made it into something more than it was and told Lisa Rinna. Then Eden goes to Dorit for morale support and tells Rinna For it brought up the pills when she didn’t say that. Erica holds grudges and the way she went after Dorit was not a good look for her. It was none of her business but when Dorit Kyle and Lisa V said it was not said in a bad way, Erica looked like a liar and went for the attack. I’m glad Dorit stood up to her. Ericas important words just shows what a snot she is. Come down off Toms money throne Erica , you are no better than anyone else and thinking Dorit was the weakest you tried to demolish her and failed. She’s doesn’t have to kiss your butt just so you will have a normal convo with her. Go Dorit!

      I very much liked the Erika I saw last week with her Mom and last night with Kyle, That being said, there is more tot his story than meets the eye with her- she has a cynical, manipulating off stage side, and why does she need a four man glam squad to fly where she goes? The other women some how survive without the look books for each night and a four man team.

      She seems to be bright and interesting but a good portion of her life began when she met Tom and married his money ; heck, she was a waitress before that. And it appears her life has been spent using a good deal of it, her pride drive by it, to some degree too much- look books per view per day, etc. .. it was clear she intends to win the bet dressed award each moment of the visit, and I wonder why it is so important to her .

      She tends to hold back her views but gets snarky when she chooses to, and then blows at some point at anyone she feels is inferior. Clearly Dorit pushed her buttons far too often, but my sense is there is a great dealErika is doing behind the scenes with her manipulative friends Eileen, Rinna and Kyle.

      There is more to this story- it will be compelling as it plays out- and it probably will, eventually. I the meantime, I know what we see of Erika is very carefully controlled, by her. She is as ambitious as any woman there, and her friendship (or whatever) with Yo the climber was grounded in that.

      I do like many parts of what I see of her, but transparent she is not- and she goes after people she dislikes wit venom as she tries to put the down. Dorit deserved it.

        Why shouldn’t she have a 4 man glam squad? She’s having fun, which she’s said many times that’s all she wants to do. She’s making money with her Erika Jayne schtick, why can’t she spend it as she likes? Also, a marriage is a partnership. There is no “his” money.

        If her cynical, manipulative side is off-stage, how do you know about it? You call it cynical and manipulative. I call it street smart.

        “Yeah it was obvious Erica made it into something more than it was and told Lisa Rinna. ”

        I can’t believe there are still people, reading here of all places that don’t understand how these shows work.

        Clearly PRODUCTION told Rinna about the pill storyline. Just not who started it. And she sussed out the guilty party. If Erika had wanted to tell Rinna, she would have just told her. and told her who said it. Do you not find it REALLY odd that Ednen and Rinna were paired for an activity in HK? That was so Rinna could interrogate Eden.

        I didn’t realize this needed explaining at this point in our reality TV viewing lives.

        And y’all are sure thirsty for Erika Jayne’s money. You sure don’t talk about Kyle spending her husbands money, but in any irrelevant situation, y’all piss and moan because Erika married a rich man.

          Kyle married a man close to her age who did not have tons of money — according to what she says anyway. Erika married a much older man who was filthy rich. The two situations are not comparable. Kyle doesn’t advertise her cash quite as much as Erika does either.

          With all her cash I feel a bit sorry for Erika. I think her ego and cold veneer mask a deeply insecure soul. Her glam squad “friends”…what happens if one day she can’t pay them?

              Hi Tamara, greetings from your faithful follower in the Uk. I absolutely adore Erika I think she’s my all time fave house wife. As for the crisp or chip as you say in the US Dorito needs to be drowned in salsa.

              She’s a thirsty, wannabe twerp who needs to drop back into obscurity and bankruptcy where her and porcine husband belong.

              I hope she gets canned the pretentious, shallow eleventy billion rose gold Bentley airhead. At least Pam was funny – but she ended up in jail for her $25,000 sunglasses and all her other financial jiggery pokery.

              Hated the clip of Erika crying 🙁

              Much love to you and Banjo you make my day x

            That is true, Kyle married Mauricio before they had a pot to piss in, but that doesn’t take anything away from Erika and Tom, IMO. She does not strike me as a golddigger, she is very independent and she genuinely seems to adore him, and he, her. I admire their marriage because of their love for each other, same as Kyle and Mauricio, not because of whether they got together before or after there was big money.

            She is busy with her career, and so is he, and they carve out time for each other. The money is “theirs” because they are married, I don’t begrudge her her lifestyle one bit. I think she appreciates every bit of it, as well as her husband 🙂 That is a good indicator of character, in my eyes. How people treat one another, regardless of how much cash there is or who brings in more of it.

          I said that production feed Rinna the pill story and told her that she did say those things about Kim being near death. Production plays a big role in the drama. I’m sure Dorito will figure that out by 2nd season. She isn’t going anywhere because PK was the only husband at the reunion ala Joe Gorga.

          I’d imagine they all have some sort of poor man’s lookbook for these trips where they have been given the scene schedule and the expected dress. Most of them would have someone pulling two dinner looks, a sight seeing look, a swimsuit, causal daywear for X number of days, filmable sleepwear etc. Erika just takes it to a higher level. 🙂 And that’s why we love her.

              My point , after starting and ending my comments saying I really like Erika, , especially as she shares more of her self with us, was that there are other parts of Erika we haven’t been exposed to yet, and some things have raised questions we will learn about over time.

              It is great for the show and very fun, to see a new person come in, who has few boundaries, is free to spend and travel as she chooses, and lives a fab aspirational life. That is what we all find so fun about Erika, (and the show) including her relationship with Tom,, which clearly changed her life, as it would anyone’s. And her sef confidence and exuberance.

              I’m not making final determinations or blindly criticizing, I am asking questions about things that raise them, and sharing facts at this point- nothing else.

              Of course Erika can live as she (and her husband) choose, marry and live the same- the questions in this arise about her multi-faceted lifestyle, with a very hard working successful lawyer married to a lady, whose career started in her middle age years, who seeks the approval of sexually focused audiences as she pushes a young, complex audience she works to continue to tantalize.

              She can spend as she chooses, nothing evil about being married to him or spending their money, as they choose-it is very superficial Bev Hills- but that is what it is, It is perfect for this show, fits in with the extravagances, but I wonder how long term rewarding spending the money that way is- and wonder if they won’t regret it at some point. Desiring to be best looking and spend the most of a group, and requiring four people to travel around the world to make one look best, when I compare the needs of so many people for basic necessities, feels over indulgent to me, now that I put it in thought.

              But my comment above didn’t say all that- . it just mentioned some facts for consideration. I was just raising questions, . and while I appreciate they spoil a tiny bit of the fun, they’re just meant to be pondered- not used to lash anyone. It is certainly true that each woman needed help with a wardrobe to plan one that extensive for those days with multiple shootings. it is just , to me, at this point, the sheer magnitude of the accoutrements that compose Erika’s days is pretty significant-, like that room of closets , and all the look books, but it seems to t be pretty competitive at some point- and it appears to me she might be trying to prove it all to herself, most of all. I’ve known plenty of people who spend like this, live like this and think they are forced to , or choose to, in their world- and in the end are very unhappy they saw life like that.

              Of course it is very clear that much of the trip’s events were arranged by Production as they needed both some spice and something to stir things up.
              Dorit and Rinna have the bad edits this season, and it has been their role to foment some friction for that purpose. Including Eden, of course, as the newbie one with weird side notes/issues.

              Now I’ve given you much more to come at me on-just a thought. Erika’s real story will emerge at some point, and there is more going on here than what we see, given a number of factors. That was my point. Now I have taken it to a whole new level.

    Who the fuck does Dorit think she is, to demand deep dark secrets and “connection” with everyone? That is something that has bugged the fucking shit out of me the entire season. Erika does not owe her a single secret or any sort of intimacy.

    Erika and Kyle are a PERFECT example. Both have been gentle with each other – both have had good conversations/experiences that have made them feel comfortable with each other without being demanding. The result? Some deep shit on that bench that felt really sincere and organic.

    (It should also be noted that Erika’s conversation with Kyle was NOT about KIM… but KYLE)

      No need to exaggerate, she didn’t demand, “deep dark secrets”. It’s true, she hoped for connection and took it personally (her feelings were hurt) when she didn’t develop one with Erika. it’s a bit spoiled. I have a feeling that Dorit gets along pretty easily with most women and was unprepared when she came up against the wall that Erika naturally puts up with everyone, especially women.
      Kyle and Erika are just becoming friendly now in her second season – she takes a long time to open up and trust people. I don’t think she had any female friends until this show, just her, “boys”. I think it’s partly her upbringing and she’s beautiful and married a much older man which probably caused a lot of animosity among the women in their crowd.

    I’m over Rinna. This season is a bad look for her. She’s coming across like a shit starter. The pill story is a non issue, Dorit shared the story in good fun and for Erika to jump in and insinuate Dorit maligned Rinna said more about how she felt about Dorit than anything else. It was uncomfortable to watch and felt like a gang up.

      Dorit telling the pill story sure sounded malicious to me. Not once did she say it was a joke. As a matter of fact, I don’t think she even got that Rinna was joking at the time. She looked shocked. When she brought it up in Mexico in front of Erika, Erika even said, “You’re joking, aren’t you?” Why would Erika be confused about Dorit’s intentions after asking that question?

      LVP is having way too much fun with this. It’s not a good look for her. This is where she hangs her minion out to dry and she thinks she’s taking down Erika at the same time. Not. Gonna. Happen.

      Who’s ganging up on whom? Dorit shouldn’t be firing with both guns if she can’t keep her eyes on both targets.

        LVP was sitting at sort of the front of the boat facing the two sides that were face to face. My favorite part of the fight was when Kyle realized she was sitting across from Erika and next to Dorit and stood up and moved to the neutral section next to LVP. She’s a smart one, that Kyle.

    I like Erika, I just don’t get how she is so loved by everyone. I think her :being reserved at times comes off as being mean and bitter.

That being said, I wonder if she’ll use the show for another season or two to build her brand and then wipe the dust from her Louboutins and leave.

      Erika’s definitely grown on me this year. Wondering what sets off her breakdown next week. When I first saw it, I thought it was part of her role on the soap, then perhaps it was about her son, a police officer in a dangerous job. Now I am thinking she’s sick of the gold digger swipes she’s likely encountered throughout her marriage.

      I’m with Erika on that one too. I hate the way women so often don’t show any true loyality to oneanother, act catty, and then try to exclude some of the women in a group. I think shes a straight shooter and if shes your friend shes really your friend. I noticed Erika’s mom said she’s a good wife. I took that to mean they have a real marriage. A good wife is all in, and goes the extra mile because she loves her spouse and she’s that kind of person. Just like Kyle is and even Kim has had to admit that.

    Regarding London, her “bf” lol, Eden was saying she’s treating him to a trip to NY and even though she’s never met him before, she plans to be ready and waiting, naked under the covers, in the hotel bed! Not to worry, though, because she could just as soon kill him as he could her!

    Insanity. All the ladies were right to react as they did.

    Also, I know Dorit did say it was funny and a joke, etc. but she also did insinuate a serious element to the Rinna pill thing, too.

    I think it was classy of Eileen to attend LVPs event and even more so, to ask first, so as not to make her unnecessarily uncomfortable in an already upsetting situation with the dog documentary.

    I don’t think it’s possible to overstate how much I love Erika 🙂 She is quite warm and open once she gets to know and trust you, as we saw with her and Kyle. Dorit should look inward at why Erika is so shut off to her.

    If I was in the company of someone who pulled out a bag of pills I would think something was up. When Rinna did pull out all those pills I thought she had a problem not being a drug addict but being a hypochondriac ,also eating pills instead of food. I think Dorit should have just “owned it”. They all have a right to their opinion,just don’t try to change horses in mid stream. Dorit had it coming as far as Erika is concerned but not Rinna , if Dorit had just said..hey don’t blame, your the one who pulled out a bag of pills Yolanda Rinna. I thought it was nice of Eileen to go with LVP and Dorit. I hope it does not depress her like it did me when I saw pictures of the horror of the dog slaughtering. Eileen seems very delicate this year. I hope Kim’s storyline wraps up soon as in yesterday. Kyle is adorable this season.

    The best bit of this episode for me was not very ‘Housewifey’ but it was seeing Eileen and LVP maybe, possibly make amends. Eileen is a class act and LVP could see that. Vanderpump’s response appeared genuine.
    It was good to see.

    The Dorit f**kery was business as usual.

      All Hail Queen Erika with her fabulous glam looks by her fabulous Glam Squad!!!!

      Erika always win with her beauty, style, fashion and authenticity.

      The other housewives WISH they looked like her, be rich like her, have a pop star career like her.

      Erika is a straight shooter and calls out BS to Dorit about her malicious “humor” insinuations.

      Dorit is a big FAKE – just like her made up accent.

      Team Erika all the way !!!!!

        Erika is not the only HW that is legitimately “rich”…..

    Last time I was gonna comment this thought, I cancelled it. But, this is the second time I noticed that Mikey is coming across a bit too worshipful. It seems a bit over the top, and fake. It’s too much. I love Erika and would hate for her to come across as if she’s paying for praise. That’s all.

    Of course everything Erika has seems indulgent, it is, and it seems that way to people who don’t have eleventy-billion dollars lol

    I think she carries it amazingly, though, not haughty or arrogant. If I had her money and was on tv and a performer, I’d probably want people to make me look pretty all the time too. Why the hell not?

    I’m in the minority, but I like Dorit. I think she is harmless and she appears to want to get along with people. Don’t care for PK at all. I get why Ericka doesn’t like Dorit, though…Dorit wants everyone to love her and that’s not possible. I love how Ericka was the only one to wear sweats on the trip over. Love that!
