We’re going to VEGAS, BABY! I’ve been to Vegas two or three times and after each trip I say, okay, that’s the last time I’m going to do that. It’s been several years and I am finally starting to think about going back. I tend to stay in the same hotel and do the same things when I repeat vacation destinations. Somehow doing that makes it easier for me to get around town. I’m not even sure the hotel I used to stay at is even there anymore. It’s on the strip and has some Asian name. I always wasted enough money to get my rooms comped. I was almost never in my room. 🙂 I’d like to go to the Harrah’s in Cherokee, but my traveling has been curtailed by my hound dog.
Let’s get on with the show!
We begin where we left off as everyone gathers in the Presidential Suite currently presided over by Kyle and LVP as they prepare for their first group outing in Sin City. Rinna has just arrived. LVP and Rinna have such an odd relationship. LVP seems to like her, but is one of those friends that is always taking odd potshots and writing it off as British humor. In this instance she gives her a big hug and says that she has a bit of a cold that she would gladly give her. Rinna hugs Camille and then Dorit with the housewives greetings. It seem Rinna is making an effort with Dorit but Dorit is rightly skeptical.
Rinna tells us she is going to be the nicest person we’ve ever seen this season. Erika is taking her wardrobe all the way and channeling her Russian hooker tonight. She’s in a dominatrix outfit. I admire Adrienne for aging gracefully.
At dinner, Dorit takes it upon herself to announce to the table that Teddi’s father is John Cougar Mellencamp. Is she really that tasteless or did production give her that line? Either way, I would have refused to have said it, well until I’d had a few drinks. This pisses Teddi off right out of the gate.
The ladies are off to ride the ginormous ferris wheel that was apparently built since I have been there. #TimeFlies Dorit immediately turns to LVP and jokes about pushing someone (Rinna) off. Really bitch? She’s been very kind to you. She’s a STAR. Have some fucking respect.
Teddi is an accountability coach. She has been over 200 pounds. So now she works with other women to drop the weight. LVP and Dorit find an excuse to mock Rinna after she says she has a therapist. They are awful. On the other hand, Dorit is sucking up to Erika. And off to TAO they go. What the hell is Dorit’s issue with Rinna? She is trashing her in every talking head. All the birthday girls get shoutouts on the big screen.
I’m not going to talk about these phone calls with the kids. Because I have nothing kind to say. As much as I can’t stand Dorit. I am obsessed by her uber straight blond bob wig.
Rinna, Kyle and Camille head to the pool. Dorit, Erika and Teddi go to the Casino and buy in at 5K each. Teddi is very uncomfortable with that. Dorit makes it seem like she is paying. Teddi is very conservative with money as she was not given any financial support when she set out to Hollywood as a young adult. She learned the value of money. These other two are playing risky and fast. Dorit hit big on roulette.
Over at the pool, Kyle is talking about her trip to Europe with her family. Dorit and Erika have given it all back by the time LVP shows up. Teddi decides to head to the pool with her money. LVP, Erika and Dorit go shopping. LVP and Dorit both make up with Erika. Now isn’t that interesting. LVP is irritated that Erika doesn’t ever reach out to her.
God I hope one of the photos that Lady C pulled for me is of the get ups these three are wearing to shop. It’s a bizarre mix. Erika is in a track suit, Dorit is in pajamas and LVP is dressed for the boardroom.
Before the group reconvenes, Kyle has a sit down with Erika about the conversation she has with Harry Hamlin on a hiking trail the day after the reunion. At that time he asked her what she was going to do about the bunny incident at the reunion and how he thinks she should not ever be allowed on the show again. Kyle is a bit miffed about the conversation. Erika says she needs to get it off her chest, but to tread lightly.
It’s time for the High Roller and Kyle is scared to death of heights. I hate regular ferris wheels, but I would totally ride this. There is a bar in every pod! It’s so slow that I would need a potty. Kyle wasn’t afraid at all. THE RIDE IS FORTY MINUTES LONG! There is no escape. Apparently, it is bang away on Rinna time. Rinna and Dorit hug it out. Rinna is trying to set an example for her girls.
Next up, Kyle brings up the conversation she had with Harry. It’s a nothing burger and these two make up. LVP seems to be fine with Rinna now too. After forty minutes on the high roller, everyone loves everyone.
So they all go out for drinks and play with ice dildos. Ky;e has to bail because she is off to Croatia with her family and her very hot, very rich, husband. #LifeGoals
The conversation turns to “growing up Mellencamp” and Erika says she didn’t meet her father until she was 25. I don’t mean this is in a mean way, but that explains A LOT about many aspects of Erika’s life, and how our childhood shapes us. Erika addresses the marrying a father figure by saying her husband is much older than her father. But it is not just that. It’s the over the top need for men to appreciate her. I’m just glad she has the money to get that by performing for gay men. But I am here to say, you can get love from gay men without putting on a persona. Most gay men are very loving people. At least the ones I call my friends. And the thing about surrounding yourself with gay men is that it is a very safe zone with few exceptions. And their kindness is for no reason and with no price tag. It’s a really great safe place, so I totally get her profession.
Oh noe. I do not care for Rinna trying new hairstyles in her talking head. I need her to stop doing that. This hairstyle has worked just fine over the decades. Let it be.
Somehow, Teddi and Erika already don’t like each other. I’m going to need Johnny to splain this to me.
Teddy and Dorit meet on the final day for breakfast.
Next Week: Erika has TV therapy. That is disappointing.

The Beverly Hills women seem to be given better edits than the other franchises. I wonder if their managers/publicists prepare them before filming begins followed up with coaching during filming. I also wonder if they are negotiating how they are portrayed during filming in their contracts. Brandi seems to be a pawn in producers need to create chaos and an interesting storyline. Lisa VP was really good to her when they were friends so it does not make sense to turn on her like she did and then be fired. Since Brandi’s exit cast members seem to tread lightly and try really hard to get along and resolve conflict fairly quickly. Not authentic to real life in my opinion. I have been known to be mature and move to resolve conflict quickly but I am equally guilty of holding grudges and being petty…I mean really petty. My guess is that I would be quick to resolve conflicts if a camera was in my face holding me accountable for my BS.
I agree. There edits are better than the rest. I feel like they are very aware of the social aspect of things so they play the game better. I also think that they may have listened to the viewers when it comes to showing more lifestyle at least it looks like it this year, and then there is location.
Brandi basically played the fool and I think Yolanda had something to do with it. Not that I think Lisa V is a perfect friend because she was not. There is an element of serving her somehow in friendships on the show except with Kyle who wouldn’t have that. There was a very self promoting reason she befriended Brandi. But Brandi should have rode that out and played the game instead of the fool. Brandi was like the rescue dog where two rich women were fighting over her to use her for their own bidding. Lisa will play nice if you play nice so she picked the wrong side. Erika is lucky that Yolanda is gone whether she knows it or not. That woman is really something else and not in a good way.
OMG, now that I think about it, I would have loved for Yolanda, Lisa VP and Erika on the same season…The Battle of the Bitches, Beverly Hills Edition. LOL!
All 3 were together on season 6.
That must have been the season that Yolanda was ill. Totally forgot! I stand corrected. I want healthy Yolanda, Lisa VP, and Erika on the same season jockeying for position.
I think this cast & the nyc cast get it, they are not friends, they are collegues, it’s a business relationship. For the sake of business they go along to get along, keeps the bravo check coming & keeps them in the public eye to keep their non bravo ventures out there
As a gay man i do not like Erika Jayne. All I see is a cold lonely women with nothing interesting/boring personality or anything I want to get to know.
Exactly!? I agree with you 100%
Agreed! She really thinks she’s too cool for the rest of the group but in reality, she’s boring and unhappy. A woman like her didn’t fall in love with Tom. She fell in love with the lifestyle and career he pays for.
For one brief nanosecond we had the opportunity to learn a little about an iconic performer and growing up with him but Erika had to grab back the center of attention to herself. Erika tries to sell this whole “I am woman, hear me roar” who had no one growing up (except her Mom and grandparents and family) and did it all on her own (except for the rich husband) who has the personea of someone who is too cool to give a f*ck. But she needs a paid crew to plaster on a thick layer of pretend while propping up her shaky ego. She has to know she can’t sing or dance but as long as the attention is on her she will ignore the obvious that her “career “ is the ultimate manifestation of a bored housewife.
And Rinna could learn a thing or two on how to raise unassuming children from Teddi’s Dad.
I think it is most likely Teddi’s mom tha t instilled down to Earth demeanor. John’s sons with model Elaine Irwin are Hell raising punks.
Glad you gave an alternative view of Erika. I could understand her performances being fun and entertaining but her true personality is vapid and narcissistic. The Daddy issues run deep with this one. Mikey and the glam squad are paid employees so their incessant fawning over EJ is just part of the job . ( I would love to be a fly on the wall after she leaves the room~ bet they have fun talking about her)…
As a straight grandmother, I’ve never felt the pull of Erika. I was so glad to read your comments because we are an island. Almost everyone adores her. I think she has ice water in her veins. The closest thing to affection I see from her is for her glam squad. Period.
And there’s something creepy about her obedience to her husband. At any moment, I wouldn’t be surprised to hear her lovingly call him “Daddy”. Guess she knows that would be a bridge too far for him.
I don’t dislike her; I’m just not fond of her. I hope I’ve commented late enough not to draw the haters, but then I don’t come back to see how people respond so how would I know? This isn’t the Jodi Arias trial, afterall. We were all addicted back then.
Have never liked her, and it drives me mad that her top lip never moved when she talks, only the bottom one. Bit like a Thunderbirds puppet.
Kman,
I see the exact same thing as you. I can’t stand her personality and trying to play it cool all the time. She needs to loosen up. She is really uptight and seems very fake.
As a gay man i do not like Erika Jayne. All I see is a cold lonely women with nothing interesting/boring personality or anything I want to get to know. That’s why I rather her not being on the show
I completely agree with you guys about Erika. Her shtick is so phony & forced it’s been wearing on me for a hot minute. She repeats what her glam squad tells her about what’s cool but it just doesn’t seem authentic.
She’s too cool for school because she puts on airs in her pretension. When she went on about her DSL’s, I couldn’t believe she was serious. I kiki with my friends like the best of them, but I would never refer to myself or know any adult that talks like that. Yes I heard Mikey say it but let’s be real, he’s a paid cheerleader. She sounded like she was showing off about some advice she received from a 13 year old. It was WACK!
Then again this is the same wonan who thinks it’s cute to wear the “c” word around her neck. Really? She’s a lot of years outside of high school to be that affected, and to use shock value to make a statement. Girl bye!
She’s a lot of years outside of high school to be that affected and to be using shock value to make a statement…..
And watching her describe how she “communicates with queens”??? As a grown woman, I just don’t buy it. My friends are from all walks of life and I haven’t spoken with anyone remotely like that since I was young and under the influence, during the club kid era of NYC nightlife.
I didn’t understand what Erica said to make it seem like she was being rude to Teddi? I unfortunately wasn’t drinking any merlot and missed what she said to offend her. Was it because Teddi had a good relationship with her father and Erika didn’t?
Teddi wasn’t comfortable talking about her dad. She tried to turn attention away. She said something like “It was normal. Like if I asked you how was it growing up with your dad?” to Erika.
So Erika replied. Everyone else was quiet for a long time so Erika added a few more sentences. I don’t think Erika was trying to turn the attention to herself. I think Teddi didn’t want the spotlight and was tossing it.
Teddi wants to sit back and watch a while before participating. I just hope she does eventually participate.
Yep, ITA
Right… what was Erika supposed to say? Lie about her father only to have people figure it out later?
If anything, Erika was defending her against Dorit’s obvious ass kissing questions about John Mellencamp by saying “You are a person in your own right”, so I was a bit flabbergasted that Teddi was seemingly giving Erika the side eye and not Dorit (it was the second or third time Dorit asked about her father)
I agree, I think Erika was trying to help Teddi. I don’t know why Dorit felt the need to publicize who her father was, Teddi didn’t feel the need for anyone to know it. I don’t think Erika did anything wrong at all.
If I were Dorit I would have said a lot worse to Rinna. Insinuating drug use around children is way off limits. Dorit isn’t a lot of things but even for housewives that falls into the Phaedra comment to me.
I don’t think anyone cares that Rinna called out Dorit for doing coke at her party – they all care she broke the “Camera Code”, and that makes her a liability to do the same for them. Im sure there’s certain things they agree shouldn’t be said (at least said up front, if you’re LVP you get other people to say it for you).
Dorit had the perfect cover with “BUT MY CHILDREN WERE IN THE HOUSE, HOW DARE YOU” – the average viewer that is unfamiliar with LA and these type of parties can resonate with it. I’ve lived in LA most of my life, and can say without a shadow of a doubt that Rinna wouldn’t have said it if it wasn’t true. I personally (allegedly?) think Dorit was on coke, because as conveyed above, I’ve lived in LA most of my life and thus have been around drugs most of my life. The smallest of shows can give it away, but it’s undeniable when you know and when you see it.
But, Rinna didn’t say Dorit was doing coke, she said people at her party were because…. the entire table walked off to go to the bathroom. That’s a coke move.
The kids were upstairs asleep with nannies, and in the backyard a filming event with 20 people in ballgowns and a camera crew was happening. I’ve seen people do coke at a salon in the middle of the day; that is CERTAINLY a “bust out the coke” party.
I’m officially tired of typing the word coke.
Ok well I have a home close to the one Dorit Is renting, just being an old country bumpkin and all and hanging out by the cement pond by day, I think it was a reprehensible baseless accusation and was admitted to be such on tonight’s show. Living part time in LA and part time in AZ I guess I’m not as worldly as you but if anyone accused me of that I’d very likely do more than say can I trust you not to hurt me. Rinna is mean. She doesn’t mind the low blow and I think it showed. Just my two cents
Why are you reading so much into my comment? All I literally said was that if you’re not from LA, I can understand thinking it’s completely insane that someone would be doing coke in the bathroom while their kids are home. But this isn’t someone that was just chilling at home – it was a party/event in a coke fueled city.
Living in LA doesn’t inherently make one cultured – probably the opposite in fact.
Not attacking PSYLOCKE but every city, town and valley has coke fueled parties with the kids in the next room. The only culture involved is the Drug Culture. The rich and poor are doing coke and every variation of it. Rinna did break the 4th wall and so did Brandi when she outed Kyle as a pothead. Rinna using the coke slight was detrimental to Dorit as she has small children and not obnoxious ordinary teens who are now ‘models’.
Psy, I agree with Lisa above. Maybe, maybe not with the coke, but saying something for truth about others as you are here when you didn’t see it is something I wouldn’t do. Lisa Rinna was making a move against Dorit in a very malicious and potentially slanderous manner. People everywhere are quick to assert that they “KNOW.”
I completely agree with your comment. And it was about breaking camera code (Kyle’s reaction to a couple of things Lisa Rinna said at the table ,including that, confirmed it for me as well. This wasn’t Brandi saying it where you can kind of get around it due to her history. This was Rinna who isn’t considered and outsider like Brandi even though she has done things that rival her on the show. I also thought it was funny to when Rinna said one of them had coke around their noses. I see Dorit and PK as frauds so I don’t even care if it was inappropriate to say on camera according to some people’s reactions and opinions.
Rinna is full of shit on that. She and that Elliott guy were sitting at the table alone BEFORE dinner was even served. Clean place settings were on the table. Rinna just lashed back harder at Dorit’s Zanax comment (Brandi Jr ).
Erika’s mall walking granny leisure outfit was ridiculous looking. She thinks since it has a designer name it’s automatically pretty. Dorit’s PJ were pretty bad too. Camille’s orangey dress on Ferris wheel is a beautiful color on her.
dope smokers do the same
I wonder if anyone will ever bring up Harry Hamlin and Julianne Phillips? ? Kim Richards certainly managed to rattle both their cages a few years back when she hinted to what she knows. Own it baby ???
Kim knows nothing. Just gossip.
You know her personally then? ?
Do you?
*yawn*
We’ve literally seen Kyle’s Birkin bag at least 6 times. I hope the Birkin people gift her another!
Did you want her to hide it?
Birkins are never “gifted” by the “Birkin people.” Company policy requires all to purchase them, no matter who you are — a star or royalty.
I think that’s why Kyle suddenly seems to have so many Birkins too. It takes so long to get on Hermes’ preferred customer list, so now she’s on it she’s buying every color she can get her hands on.
I would too. And set it out on every table at every restaurant I went. Except where I go no one would know what it was
Kyle has been one housewife that seems to live within her means. I’m happy she got a couple of the “cool” handbags.Between her store and TV projects she is realizing success on her own, apart from her husband.
When Mauricio and his partner opened The Agency, like any other business, I’m sure they poured a lot of the initial profit back into the business. According to our local publications, Mauricio has had a hell of a year in sales, nice to see them enjoy some of their money!
Thank you for the comment about the outfits at the mall, dorit look silly and I just kept wondering why Erika was wearing a track suit with heels and a backpack ? They looked ridiculous . Episode was pretty boring and I’m not liking teddy too much and can’t stand any scene with dorit in it, too bad Lisa r has decided to be nice
Erika is kind of a conundrum to me. I think she’s very smart. That said, she has to realize that she’s actually buying the affection of her “glamour squad.” It’s nothing to say against them. I’m sure they are very nice people. But it’s clear their jobs have more to do with praising her than actual work. I also think she’s very talented, and I only know this from the one episode where she actually sang. She’s got a great voice. But her act emphasizes a middle aged woman trying to remain sexy, not her vocal capabilities.
Yep, and she seemed to be a very good actress for being brand new to acting when they showed the little clip of her on Eileen’s soap opera. (I didn’t watch the soap.) In the clip she was much funnier than Heather was in her Hot in Cleveland clip. I could see Erika having a real career acting in a soap but she seems to need sexed adoration like a stripper.
On the other hand, Cher moved from singing to acting and was fabulous in Mask and Moonstruck, but I believe she still wears risque’ outfits in concert (e.g. If I Could Turn Back Time); as does Madonna. Interesting that both Cher and Madonna are gay icons.
People poke fun at RHOC Margaret Joseph’s tiny pigtails, because she’s 50 years old. Now, Erika is 46 years old and wears giant pig tails. Is it OK on Erika but not OK on Margaret? Just wondering.
I don’t understand attempting to compare them when they’re planets away from one another.
Erika embodies and is a caricature of “ridiculous” and “over the top”. She wears over the top pigtails as part of her costumes, and she has varying hair styles that correlate with each design.
Margaret is a mom next door that ties two little straw tails behind her ears for every occasion of every day and every night.
I think Marg would look better with a different hair style, but it’s also something I stopped noticing after the first time or two.
Point well made, Psylocke. There is a huge difference in their styles..
I love a lot of Erika’s looks, but I personally don’t favor the Moschino tracksuit outfits – it just reminds me of Juicy Couture from 2006.
It’s Gucci
Oh. well if it’s Gucci it must by all means be cool..
It reminds me of the Hip Hop culture of the 90’s. Track suits and heavy gold chains and grills.
She had it loose on one episode with no extensions, and I thought it looked much better.
Both are okay, English Rose. Last I checked, women of all ages are free to wear their hair however they’d like.
Agreed! I am 46 and do low pig-tails AND space buns. It’s a fun easy way to do your hair for the gym or laundry day. I do however, find it strange that the two women with the glam squads I am going to give worst dressed this episode. Between the track suits and the ill-fitting boob sling on Dorit. I thought LIsa’s pink dress flattered her figure so nicely! Rinna always dresses amazing and Camille hit’s it out of the park as well.
I thought a lot of the ladies were too business attire for the casinos and the ferris wheel (I want to know how expensive that was because I want to drink as I ferris wheel around!
Anything goes in Vegas, so I didn’t mind Dorit’s pjs or Erika’s track suit.
In my opinion Margaret wears the pigtails and make them her own whereas the pigtails are wearing Erika.
I like Marges hair, its very her, the only npte I would give her is some silver shampoo to get rid of the brassy tones.
Erika suits any hair, she’s literally a living Barbie. I would love to see her just be Erika, the woman smiling in the pic with her husband that was shown, the one that probably didn’t know her Prada from her Phrauda when she started out. But, I don’t think anyone but her husband and son will ever see that side of her. She’s a blonde LVP and will only ever let you see what she wants you to see. Its a shame, however, as long as there’s a WEHO gay guy around willing to say “yasss mama, fierce” I don’t think that will change.

I love Teddi! I’m glad she’s joined the cast. Erika shaded Teddi on WWHL for the latter’s comment about Erika being a cool girl. Catty. I like that Erika is sharing more about herself. Good episode tonight.
I hope I’m not violating the rules but I think that wasn’t therapy, I think that was her ghost writer Bryan Moylan
Teddi looks like Kate Gosselin
I think she looks like Eileen.
No one is as pretty as Eileen. NO BOD EE.
Tina – ouch, low blow 🙂
I watched some of the Season 2 of RHOBH marathon on Bravo yesterday and although this current season is off to a pretty good start, it’s nothing like the first 3 Seasons which were epic! I think it’s because everyone except Teddi is so aware of the cameras and potential of fans dragging them on Twitter, the women are so careful and calculated now than when they were new to the reality tv world. I miss the days of seeing authentic reactions and less producer involvement.
It interesting watching LVP without the pink binders I was wearing back then. She really is Bobby Fischer.
It appears that this season Ericka Jayne, may show a side of her I’m not going to care for but I do like that she’s sharing more. I just wonder why she seems annoyed by Teddi right from their initial meeting? Or maybe Teddi is annoyed by Ericka? I guess time will make that more clear.
During Dorit and Lisa Rinna’s conversation on the Ferris Wheel, I love how production played back all the times Dorit slammed Rinna that of course Dorit doesn’t remember. It appears Dorit and Rinna are both in for a rough season.
Ericka’s annoyed because she’s younger, prettier, has a better body and a real relationship.
LOL
Yah…. Erika is jonesing for the kind of relationship Teddi has with her man, insead of the grandfather hugs and air kissing she gets now from her grandpa husband. Money can’t buy you happiness or love. You made that bed Erika….. now lie in it.
You made me go back and start from season one! I am enjoying the episodes way more than the current seasons, but I will say you can feel alarms going off with Kim even back then. Kyle, who seems more open then than now, has said a few telling things regarding Kim and it all makes sense now. Lisa V has always seemed so cunning to me, but now looking at things a second time, it’s downright scary. It ain’t right lol
I enjoy a variety of scripted dramas, “scripted” reality shows, documetaries, Nat GEO WIld, etc., so I rarely re-watch a season of a show since there is always something new on and I don’t have that much time as it is (Hell, who does though?). This franchise is in my top 3 of houswives shows and I remember how great those early seasons were. Knowing the things that we know now, and years of observing how these types of shows “work,” and getting great behind-the-scenes information from great sites such as this, it’ll be very interesting to watch again to pick up on the things that were somewhat lost upon us in the original airings.
I’m so glad Rinna is planning to play nice. She needs a season where she’s not the “lightning rod”, she’s been the MVP for three seasons straight, and eventually she’ll back herself into a Brandi-like corner if she doesn’t spend some time mending fences. Let Dorit make herself Public Enemy Number 1, she won’t have to try very hard!
The Erika/Teddi beef is weird, because it seems borne out of nothing, but from Erika’s recent interviews I have a feeling it gets worse before it gets better. She’s said that she thinks audiences will like Teddi even though some of the cast don’t, and that the word she would use to describe her is “interesting” but “hard to work out”. I guess they’re just really different characters who are having a hard time finding common ground, and Teddi trying to go deep on the dad stuff was too much too soon for Erika.
I think Teddi and Dorit also get into it this season, because Teddi and LVP have both said in interviews that there’s a new LVP-Kyle-Teddi alliance. Dorit’s name was conspicuous by its absence in those comments, so I assumed Teddi has a falling-out with her (I’m pretty sure Dorit is still good with Kyle and LVP from recent social media posts).
LVP seems a little desperate to befriend Teddi, doesn’t she? The “I want to see her naked” stuff last week, and claiming to take her horses on vacation, was a little try-hard. Does she need new allies, or is she just impressed by Teddi’s dad?
You make a good point about the Dorit/Ericka squabble. So it’s kinda like the Sassoon chic from last season trying to administer therapy to Kyle and Kim.
As for LVP, I think she’s needs knew soldiers. Kyle has her groove back and no longer needs to play LVP’s game and it appears that Dorit has decided to step out on her own (probably at PK’s advice). She may also be impressed with Teddi’s dad as well, but it’s also interesting LVP cares so much that Ericka wasn’t returning her text. Wonder what’s going on with LVP this season?
LVP made it sound like Erika didn’t return her texts (“I text her, but I don’t get anything back”) but when she was face-to-face with Erika, it was more like “Yes, you text me back, but you never initiate any texts.” Or maybe she had originally said “I don’t get much back.” ? not sure.
I fucking hate Dorit, there is nothing i like about her. She reminds me of Kim Richards just looking for attention. And did host a party where everyone was doing blow in the bathroom!
Production gave Dorit subtitles for her acquired accent, but none for LVP lol!
Good observation! That is ridiculous that a fake accent warrants subtitles over a real one, LOL
Erika claims that Erica Jayne is merely a stage persona, so what was that hooker getup with the hat she was wearing to go to dinner with friends? Erica doesn’t know where the two personas start and end, anymore. She’s Erica Jayne all the time now.
But it’s fun to watch.
I think she is making it very clear that it is Erika Jayne the one hanging with them as a part of her work, and not the authentic Erika with her real friends.
WoW that is something I believe .Maggi you nailed it !!
I also have to comment on the fact that I was shocked that Adrienne would film for the Vegas trip at the Palazzo when part of her beef with LVP in season 2 was that Pandora’s bachelorette party in Vegas was a competing casino and not the Palms(owned by Adrienne’s family). My how times have changed
I found it odd that we barely saw Adrienne. As I am typing this I can’t remember her being in a scene, I do recall seeing her in a group photo. It’s weird that she either just stuck her toe in, or that production chose not to use her…
Maybe production chose not to use her for some reason. A month or so ago Kyle posted a group photo from the Vegas trip on her Instagram and because of that I was looking forward to episodes of the Vegas trip and was surprised that both Adrienne and Camille were basically cameo apperances.
Speaking of Camille I don’t understand why they’ve had her as a friend of the show for 3 seasons now and yet she hardly speaks 3 sentences for an entire season.
Well, Adrienne did threaten to sue Bravo and skip out on the reunion of her final season, so I was surprised she was back at all, but if they do let someone back… it’s not usually such a tease.
I thought she was the ghost of Joan Rivers when she first appeared at the door. (sorry Joanie!!) Did she have more terrible work done?
Lawd, I just watched the shopping mall scene back because I was staring at my phone and not the outfits first time round.
The other two do look like tragic fashion victims, but it’s Vanderpump that elicits my sympathy most – she looks like a tired mom hitting the outlets with two precocious teenagers.
Bingo! The pj.’s and track suit were ridiculous enough but when I saw LVP’s dressed for success business look, I thought the same thing…. Mom clothes.
Even her pink bedazzled going out to the club outfit was glittery boardroom worthy. I like when she wears jeans the most.
Yeah, not one of them is someone I’d ever emulate.
I’m so glad someone said “fashion victim” because I was about to type it. Tragically it happens a lot with people who can afford the designer, but fail to see what makes them look silly vs fashionable. I give it to Erika for owning everything, though! I really love her!
Gawd! Mrs. Roper in the flesh! What label? I rewound a few times to try and catch the writing on the “jammies” gave up. Wait, and karate kid head band too? Ouch my eyes hurt. “Money Can’t buy you class’ass, money can’t..”
…song is in my head these past few days, sorry.
I’m of the thought anything goes in Sin City, but…
Dorit kept tugging at that strapless dress on the wheel! She must have tugged it up half a dozen times (that we saw). If a dress won’t stay in place without constant readjustment, don’t wear it. And unfortunately it showcased a bizarre part of her boobs (implants): A wrinkle of fold on the sides like the skin was stretch and then folded and stuffed. It didn’t look natural at all.
I was extremely annoyed by Dorit’s upper frontal while she was trying to get Lisa to “apologize?” The whole scene was annoying but her clothing was obviously not suited for her current body. Are those new? I don’t remember so much cleavage but the again I often look away when she’s in a scene, ugh! She to me is like nails on a chalk board.
I was wondering if she’d had sone “enhancements”.
Every time I see Dorit, my knee jerk reaction is that she is trying WAY too hard. She’s like Singe White Female – she is trying to imitate and compete with Erika, and it isn’t working. While I did not care for Erica’s track suit, Dorit’s funky pajamas and headbands were just bizarre. And when she speaks to PK on the phone during these trips, he sounds more like her agent/manager than her husband. The whole thing is so thirsty and a real turn off.
I realize this may have already been addressed. BUT how is Dorit renting that house? She said she did renovations on it, no? Also it’s listed for sale, with the Agency no less. So she and PK must own it?
It is a ugly house. But I need this cleared up.
Was the Asian hotel in Las Vegas the Imperial Palace? If so, I’m pretty sure it is gone. I stayed there as a teenager because my dad was involved with some of the cars in their car museum. I can’t remember if he sold them or restored them, but that’s why we were there.
As for Erika, I liked the track suit much better than her talking head look with the red eye shadow.
Yes! IP! It was kind of run down when I stayed there but the location was perfect and there was a pizza by the slice place with great slices right next door. The slots were looser than most other places. I did get sent too my room for being too …I forget the word, that was used but I was “too racy? for Vegas” It was my first trip and I decided I was going to ask everyone I met to marry me in Vegas. It was the wee hours of the morning and I had been out with friends from a website I used to hang on and decided to play a few hands before bed. So of course I asked the elderly female dealer if she wanted to marry me. This apparently mortified her. Not because I wasn’t cute, because I still was cute enough back then, but because she felt I was accusing her of being gay, and that was highly insulting to her. So while most people just laughed along and said sure! or yeah not today, or explained they already were married, she complained to the pit boss and he sent me off for being …perhaps it was morally indecent and harrassing his dealer. I was a bit overserved and went to bed crying about being OH OH OH I think it was “too immoral for Vegas!”
It’s funny NOW. I wonder what is in the place of IP now.
It is now called the Linq (after a brief moment being called the Quad). I was there when they were in the midst of the total renovation (still being called IP) It had one of the last old style performance rooms where you actually sat at a table and got two drinks during a show. We saw Human Nature – now at the Venetian or Palazzo I think (that is where LVP, Dorit, and Erika were shopping).
The Linq is named for the promanade they put in a couple of years ago – that is where the ferris wheel is! I haven’t been since that opened. I typically stay at the MIrage. It is older, but they’ve kept it up (unlike the Excalibur – stayed there almost 10 yrs ago. On its way to being a dump. Also overserved a lot I think – watched a guy stand at the elevator while he pissed his pants. Tan pants. Did not get on the elevator with him. He had no clue.)
Might try the Linq for the promanade though.
I was going to chime in on the IP. We used to call it the crappy palace. What a sty that hotel was, even though in my 20’s I stayed there happily. Glad it’s gone now as it really went down hill.
I lived in Vegas for 10 years and there were very strong rumors about the owner of IP being a Nazi sympathizer and that in his office there were nazi memorabilia everywhere. My ex father in law knew all the owners and gm’s of the hotel/casinos and I asked him and he said he hadn’t seen it but heard from a friend that they were in that office and it was true. Locals never really went there.
Rinna still is fab!
54, best looking
LVP, Dorit, and Erika’s look in casino all horrible
Looks liked a SNL sketch
IVE BEEN TO Vegas a few times. THEYll never get the smell out of those pretty clothes is what’s what i kept thinking.
Blech Dorit is just the worst. Why oh why did they bring her back!? Erika’s pink lipstick in her talking head bothers me, it’s outside the lip lines and the corners of her mouth. I’m surprised her glam squad let her get on camera with it, as it looks like my 3yo applied it for her. TT, I know you weren’t a fan of Rinna’s hairdo in her talking head, but I loved it!!
Tamara we just drove through Cherokee today! We stay in Gatlinburg every New Years and hike local trails. I have never seen the town in the summer but this time of year it sure looks depressed and run down. I am assuming the hotels are due to the casino? If you get a chance to go, check out nearby Bryson City. Qauint town and a nice micro brewery. (You can bring your own food and dogs are welcome!) Happy New Years to you!
I liked Erika when she was introduced. Now, not so much. She has repeatedly said she doesn’t care about people or issues that do annoy her and at her age, she should just be more honest about it. She goes out of her way with this too cool for school, icy schtick. Her EJ persona seemed fun at first but now seems like another brick in the wall.
With most of the HWs, I don’t understand the over the top, showy extravgance. I understand having a nice home that you can afford, but I don’t understand living in a don’t touch museum and having the “showiest” car, jewelry, and clothing. I don’t get why anyone would pay $20K for a hand bag. It’s stupid money. I’d rather buy a beautiful for a few hundred and donate the rest. Or perhaps I don’t understand being showy about it. Just do it. I appreciate Teddi’s approach.
Having to show or prove how fabulous you are just isn’t that fabulous. It seems tiresome.
I hear what you’re saying, not everyone’s materialistic, but…. is Real Housewives the right show for you if you don’t care about the public displays of wealth? That’s kind of the whole concept.
Has anyone else been following Rinna’s instagram the past couple days?? She’s been watching all the first couple seasons and being super shady Rinna!!
