Sorry for the delay. Things have been a bit crazy in real life. Let’s get on with the show! Watching RHOBH in the morning is weird. It seems so much stupider in the daytime. It’s kind of like when you I would watch my favorite soap opera in front of a college boyfriend. It’s kind of embarrassing.
It’s too early in my day to hear all about Camille’s vagina while she and Rinna are shopping for lingerie. I need wine for this and it’s too early for wine. Camille spent $1,300 on lingerie. Seriously?
Kyle and Erika meet for lunch at Fig & Olive. They actually order food and eat it! This is why I love these two. And of course they catch up on all the gossip and discuss what on earth to get LVP for her birthday. Kyle’s LVP impersonation is spot on. Kyle says they should get her a pink flamingo to go with the rest of her zoo.
How to I hate Dorit and PeeKay? Let me count the ways. Apparently, he has changed the name of Dorit’s company and slashing half of her fashions. I don’t believe anything these two say.
Camille is having a very elegant charity event. The DVR worked perfectly through the Dorit scene and now is having fits and starts with Camille’s party. Life is not fair. Rinna is very sick and missing the whole thing and she’s not happy about it at all. Camille has a perfume line that is $360 dollars a bottle. The bottles are beautiful and the proceeds go to the cancer charity, so it is probably tax deductible. However, she lost me at “plumeria” I can’t abide the smell of plumeria. I don’t know why. Everyone else loves it, but it smells disgusting to me and makes my nose itch. As it turns out, that is the cheap stuff. There are other bottles that cost from $1,200 to $1,500.
Why the hell is Dorit getting all the camera time. I can’t. Dorit is sucking up to LVP and trying to drag everyone else in. Teddi is not willing to continue to rehash the entire thing. Sadly, Erika is not feeling Teddi. I really need these two to get along.
Camille’s mom is currently in the hospital fighting cancer. LVP makes an early exit because she wants to spend the evening with Ken. Dorit stalks her down. LVP defends Teddi to Dorit and says that Teddi was not the problem. Dorit is a nutcase. She literally pins LVP down on the couch. LVP is annoyed. So am I. Dorit will not shut up. LVP manages to slip out of Dorit’s grasp and make a break for it.
Teddi meets with one of her clients at a spa for a sweaty experience. It’s just as gross as it sounds. I am not unhappy that my DVR is screwing up during this scene.
Erika is part of Kim Kardashinan’s game. I am not a fan of this decision. Erika is above this sort of thing. She loves it though, so whatever she wants. She cries when she sees her avatar.
LVP’s birthday party is gorgeous. LVP plots with the waitstaff to serve Dorit’s drink in the wrong glass. My hatred for Dorit is making me like LVP. There, I said it. I also like that LVP seems quite fond of Teddi. This party is perhaps the most elegant one in RHOBH history. It’s really beautiful and the menu is exquisite. So I have no idea why Dorit is wearing a crappy jean jacket.
Despite requesting her guest not bring gifts, they all did. Rinna is still sick and sent some beautiful pink flowers. I am dying to open the presents! I love presents even when they are not for me! Let’s see who brought what! Erika Jayne bought her a lovely scarf. I don’t think the box was Hermes though. If you are bringing a scarf, it should be Hermes. Teddi bought her a pink bare back pad for her horse. Dorit’s face says that is a better gift than whatever she brought. LVP loves it and tells Teddi she is her new best friend. Now it’s time for Dorit’s gift and she looks like she wants to fall through the floor. LVP says this gift will determine how much we love Dorit. Clearly, it’s going to be something stupid. Like a picture of Dorit. It’s some sort of a bracelet “with the eclipse in it” so it’s shady. LVP makes a joking insult. Erika points out this is LVP’s SOP. True, but it is funny when Dorit is the butt of the joke. Camille got her black bunny ears from the lingerie store. It’s a swing and a miss. Camille got Dorit a ball gag. Erika says she loves a ball gag. Camille says Dorit opens her mouth too much. I love Camille.
Kyle is late because she had a prior engagement. LVP keeps calling Teddi, Teddi bear and it is driving Dorit crazy. Dorit is also pissed about the ball gag.
It seems that Giggy got LVP the best gift, a pair of diamond earrings from Cartier, with a $75K pricetag.
Meanwhile, Kyle is thrilled that Dorit is getting smack talked by LVP at every turn. She gives us an “I told you so!” talking head.
LVP invites everyone to PUMP after dinner and Dorit says she thinks she has celebrated enough and she will not be going. She leaves and Peekay follows in her wake.
We end with LVP reshooting Dorit’s shoot for BH magazine where she bitched about literally everything. I am embarrassed about how much this pleases me.
Then we get a midseason trailer! YES! I loved this episode. No wine was thrown, no one got slapped, at least in the literal sense, and it was VERY Beverly Hills, chi chi chi!
We still haven’t been to Berlin! And there is so much drama ahead! I’m so excited!
Was beginning to get worried about you! Now, off to read the recap.
OMG the flamingo would have been a perfect present it would have been Lisa’s favorite gift
I really like this episode, the shopping, the lunch, the parties, Dorit’s reckoning, all of it!
Erika has been building up animosity toward Teddi that I don’t understand. I like Teddi.
Erika and Teddi…watch the clip for next week on Bravo. They aren’t getting along. Erika is being an asshole, they kind of all are. Why is no one having Teddi’s back? It sounds like Rinna even has Dorit’s back.
And Lisa’s blog this week is basically a tribute to Dorit.
It’s definitely a head scratcher.
I have a theory that’s worth less than a nickel. Teddy grew up oblivious to the wealth around her, Her father was not only involved in her upbringing, he is well-known. Teddy chooses to live a life that isn’t about having the largest palace. Erika didn’t know her father. The few times he came into contact with her he was cruel. Erika loves beautiful, expensive things. She cannot afford to be relaxed and downplaying her wealth. She always has to hustle and fight to get somewhere. I don’t think they’ll ever understand each other.
It’s funny, I thought some of the same things. I could tell that Erika didn’t like her from go when they met in Vegas. it’s ironic because in many ways, deep down, there are similar; direct, smart, insightful, funny..I could go on. Her preference of Dorit is absolutely baffling to me, especially after the way Dorit acted last year.
I see down the road the Kemsley’s being in the same position as the Guidice’s, their grifter status having caught up to them, although if caught, they would probably just run off to Europe.
Sliceo”pie, PK’s “alleged” grifter ways are why he ran off to America from the UK. And, he may be trying to keep a safer distance between himself and some of his Russian oligarch former clients and any nerve agents, poisoned umbrella tips or falls out of multi-story buildings onto metal fence spikes.
Nailed it
Very well put I wholeheartedly agree. Teddy is down to earth. Erika to seems to have a chip on her shoulder.
Totally agree, Colette. Why are they all ganging up on Teddi – could it be because she is an honest, unmaterialistic person, who does not get orgasms over Birkens? And I am seeing an alpha dog aspect to Erika J-G that I am not liking. Erika did say she would have been pissed at Dorit and then twisted it to make it seem like Teddi was the bad person for telling the truth.
You can see the game Erika is playing. Teddy is an easy target. Erika is showing what a plain obnoxious speaker she is and reprimanding teddy. The world is such that honesty and kindness have no place in it. I am very disappointed in erika. At her aggressive behavior towards teddy and no one is backing her. She is frustrated but she is revalant and we want to see more of her. The show have to have balance not only the greedy , obsessive and delusional can hold an audience. Erika beauty and youth can disappear in an instance. Be kind girlfriend. The Kardashians girls are beautiful and kind no comparison..
Agreed. I think Erika sees Teddi as a threat because Erika sees herself and down to earth and “real”, but she’s noticing that those qualities are actually prominent in Teddi.
*AS down to earth*
“And there is so much drama ahead!” … Drama? Where?? This episode was a snoozefest, the trailer at the end was a snoozefest, and this entire season has been a snoozefest… Hoping there’s a cast shake up for next season.
Some of us, AND I KNOW THIS WILL SHOCK YOU, don’t want to see old ladies brawling or getting vaginal rejuvenation. We want to see Beverly Hills and pretty parties and fancy presents and mouthwatering menus.
This is not Love and Hip Hop or even RHOA. At least it shouldn’t be.
Wrong. We want old ladies fighting WHILST having vaginal rejuvenation! Just kidding, RHOA-esque drama across the board would make the franchise unwatchable.
I’d rather have them brawling than being a part of bullshit arguments.. All this season has been is fighting about who was late/who loves who more/why did Erika leave the beach house. It’s ridiculous.
We’re nearly done the season and haven’t had a drool worthy trip yet. In Season 7 we had New York, Mexico, Greece, and Hong Kong by this point.
Well, pressing that button and changing the channel/switching it off is now, and forever will be, an option.
Oh is it? I had no idea……..
I have a suggestion: don’t watch!
To each their own, but I’m with you. I don’t really feel the need to watch rich people be rich just for the sake of it. That’s sad.
I will, however, watch rich people be dramatic. I’ll watch anyone be dramatic.
YES. This is why some of us started watching in the first place! To watch rich women having pink parties, spending $1300 on lingerie, and doing all the things us “real” folk otherwise can’t. I loved this episode as it was reminiscent of earlier seasons before production started pushing all the debauchery.
I’m with you and TT. Have enjoyed the season a good deal – enough snark ,with the nonsense the seemingly-desperate, alternating with arrogant, Dorit , has provided. She has given people plenty to mull over,without the disgusting elements of some of the other RH shows or trashy events brought by “housewives” of previous seasons.
It’s true- we have not had a fabulous trip yet, Erika is hanging back, and Rinna is pretty absent as well——but it is a joy to see the elements of these women’s lives we want to see- without the vituperative ugliness or delusions and illness we’ve been forced to view previously.
RHOA has plenty of mindless fighting and ugly behavior. It is neither appropriate nor
appropriate in this setting. Each RH show has its own feel, housewives, audience. Bravo is wise to remember that and to ensure they are intelligently distinctive. It is god to see them acting on it.
Corrections-neither “necessary” or appropriate ,
While BH has disagreements, there is a desire to handle the disagreements thoughtfully and in an adult fashion, whenever possible. That could not be farther from Marlo, Porsha, Kim, Nene and their need for police/other intervention.
“It is GOOD to see them acting on it.”.
Sorry for the typos –
Ditto that. I have stopped watching RHOA altogether because it has gotten so trashy and vulgar.
Preach. And if it’s trashy and vulgar, that is saying ALOT for Bravo who deals in trashy and vulgar.
Yes!!! I loved this episode! Thanks for the recap ?
I loved this episode. It’s what rhobh should be!
Amen to that.
This was my favorite episode, chic, snarky and rich!!!
Absolutely, I love the fabulous Stuff I have to watch from a distance and dream. I have had enough of grown women brawling for the camera.
I have seen this comment enough times in comm boxes to wonder if this particular Bravo brand might be waning. .
Hear, hear Tamara! Give us the glamour and spare us the bullshit!
Yes, I agree. I watch #RHOBH for their fabulous lives?
So agree TT.
It’s shown bc this is how they get Free Procedures under the ruse of “helping” other women.
It may be because I am old but the renewal of your vag should be a private matter, I am not interested. They are getting so open that we were treated to Vicki having her impacted caca hosed out of her body while carrying on a conversation with Kelly. That may be real but I want to be in a store that sells $1300 lingerie. I can’t get there on my little green Amex.
Thank you!!
My daughter dined at Pump last night. The Vanderpump family was seated next to her. Awaiting any juicy details…
100%!
“It’s kind of like when I would watch my favorite soap opera in front of a college boyfriend. It’s kind of embarrassing.” hahaha!! (and totally true)
I was so embarrassed for Dorit at the fundraiser. She was either drunk or on something. She was so desperate for LVPs attention, it made me cringe.
I thought it showed both how desperate, you are so right, and how fundamentally unintelligent she is. That she could think of nothing else to do or say but to straddle her, and, earlier, to speak for LVP (to the group) and say they are family ( when she had just betrayed LVP’s trust and spoken about her as a pitiful loser), was showing what a hole she had backed herself into and that she was anxious to pretend it never happened, but she had spent no time thinking about how to make it right with Lisa.
We’ve seen far too much of Dorit this season- her talking head has been used by the producers as transition/continuity between scenes. Unfortunately for Dorit, it has made her completely superficial approach to relationships, love, people, her life- totally overt. Dorit has been desperate for approval and acceptance – hence the needless overtalking, gossipy lies, seeking to put herself on a pedestal of her own making, etc. It is all superficial and valueless- unless that is what you treasure above all- as she clearly does.
If she cared about LVP she would have never said what she did. Now she wants the feeling of the relationship she thought she had in the past- though she clearly did not understand that. So she has no idea how to get it back- that that would be about private apologies, growth in a dialogue with LVP, if she ever had one,- does not occur to her because she does not know what that kind of relationship is. She cares what it looks like- not what it is.
Why haven’t PK and her lies/stories followed over from England and caused her enough trouble here to keep her out of this world? I would think that would be so easy in our smaller universe, these days.
I’d have sprayed that perfume in Dorits face if she’d pinned me to the couch. Lisa’s one liner was perfect though – “you might get what you want by straddling your husband, but it won’t work on me” ?
Camilles got better at public speaking, throwing shade and, well… everything. She deserves a diamond next year
Lisa Rinna continues to fascinate me. I really don’t know why. She’s like a little bird just flitting about, punctuating each sentence with the word “honey” and landing randomly into the drama.
Camille has a gorgeous, melodic way of speaking. Her voice is far better than any other housewife ever. Wonder if she took voice lessons.
Camille is much improved in all areas. She was so pompous during her first season. But the transformation seems very real and sincere.
I’m pretty sure she hired PR coaches in-between season 1 and 2 so I’m not sure how real and sincere it is but I liked her both before and after so it doesn’t matter to me.
That’s what happens when you’re served a giant helping of humble pie.
Dorit reinforces my belief that it snows A LOT in Beverly Hills.
Erika’s “Glam Squad” needs to stop dressing her like a Japanese anime character.
Agree. ERika doesn’t need all this stuff anymore.
I suspect she’s scrambling for all opportunities because of her husband’s health issues and financial issues. I haven’t heard if there was resolution, but i certainly hope there has been or will be.
i think it’s safe to say Tom probably has a multi-million dollar non-taxable life insurance policy. Erika won’t have to worry about money EVER.
The older I get, the more I see inheritance money – through whatever avenue, not turn out the way people plan. Lots of things can happen, especially if Tom has children somewhere.
What financial issues does Tom have?
None that I know of.
Something to do with the law firm. Doubt it would affect him personally.
Just checked and all was dismissed in the firm’s favor.
I wondered if I was the only one thinking WTH when I see Erika. Between Designer T-shirts, bomber jackets and Harajuku outfits she has lost her look that she had in previous seasons
And Track Suits! She really needs to stop trying to make those happen.
Yes please! I swear, they are absolutely destroying my once fond likeness for Erika. Every time she steps out she looks like she’s playing dress-up. I recently saw several episodes from her first season and the difference is day and night. She was shown casually at home wearing jeans and out and about with Yolanda wearing the same. It’s one thing for her to wear costumes for her shows. It’s a bit try hard for Mikey to dress her like walking out her front door is a show. I almost feel sorry for her stylistically this season, kind of like, “what the hell are these guys (glam squad) thinking?” I guess it’s because it’s all coming off as a bit desperate? She looked ridiculous dressing like an anime cartoon character heading to the Japanese tea house where she was promptly told to take off her 10″ high high boots before walking on the bamboo mat floors. Seriously? Does her Glam squad not research where the shoot will be that day, or are they so culturally unaware that they don’t know what a Japanese tea house is? Sorry, but not sorry about this one. She needs a daytime style team and a night time style team and Mikey shouldn’t be near either one of them.
“Every time she steps out she looks like she’s playing dress-up.” SHE HAS SAID THAT ALL SEASON! She’s playing dress up. I don’t understand why everyone is so butt hurt over track suits and the weird t-shirt dresses and the evil queen from Snow White look in her talking heads
SHE IS HAVING FUN. And the outfits that she buys for work come off her taxes! LET A BITCH LIVE!
I’m not addressing this to you, Kiyoshigirl this was just the eleventy billionth comment I have read about what Erika chooses to wear this season when she is clearly starting she’s playing dress up! She was poor, now she can wear whatever the fuck she wants to wear!
I understand criticizing people’s fashion choices. I too think the track suits are particularly horrid. Erika’s style is NOT MY STYLE but I don’t comment about it by saying “SHE NEEDS TO STOP WEARING THAT!” I probably NEED TO stop wearing pajamas to the wine shop, but why the fuck is that any one else’s concern? I’m living my life. Erika is living hers.
I appreciate Erika’s use of her giant pot of cash to wear whatever the fuck she wants and this season, she is playing dress up. I’m hear for it. I hate when people say things like Margaret is too old to keep wearing pigtails. WHY? WHOSE FUCKING LIFE IS IT? Let Margaret wear her pigtails, and Erika Jayne too for that matter. LET THESE WOMEN LIVE.
They are on TV so if you want to say you hate everything someone wears that’s why we are all here. But when people says SHE NEEDS TO STOP WEARING THINGS I DON’T LIKE. That’s just very odd to me.
I love Erika. I have rarely liked her looks this season BUT I LOVE HER WEARING THEM UNABASHEDLY. And I really get irritated when people say she needs to stop trying to make this or that happen. Erika’s looks are all very high end looks that ARE HAPPENING. You may not like them, I don’t either, but I love that Erika loves wearing them.
Also, I worry y’all are going to scream at me for cross dressing old man pajamas in public. It’s essentially the same thing. I HAVE ZERO FUCKS TO GIVE.
That was you on the wine aisle at Publix?
OMG-you KILL ME GIRL
“I’m hear for it.”?? or “I’m here for it.”?
Elizabeth, PLEASE READ THE COMMENTING RULES.
Erika is a cunt though.
So is teddi. She’s like that one friend we all had in school who has LITERALLY never had a problem in her life and she thinks she’s SO grounded because she doesn’t realise she’s lived a charmed life and thinks it’s all somehow her doing because she’s so chill and down to earth.
Bitch inner peace didn’t bring you shit. Your parents are loaded and never let anything bad happen to you and you are naturally beautiful.
I feel bitter today. I’m trying to stop drinking wine. Its not going well.
Great observation.
The Gucci line both last season and next are fan fucking tabulous. I own them, wear them, and frankly don’t give a shit if no one else likes it.
If I had the cash girl I would be wearing them too. I just have to make due with my Miss me and silver jeans that are the most comfortable jeans ever ..
I am a stay at home mom that mostly is in her sweats ..
The fashion is why I love to watch the Beverly Hills ladies .
Totally! She’s a label whore. EVERY outfit she wears hast to have a visible label. Declassé.
LVP is very childish. She could have had a mature conversation with Dorit instead of jabbing at her all night like a mean teenage bully surrounded by a bunch of giggling minions who are relieved that THEY are not the object of the bully’s venom this time. I don’t even like Dorit. But it wasn’t fun watching LVP make passive aggressive comments towards her all night. I admire Dorit for leaving and not sitting there accepting it like all the others would have. I also appreciate that when LVP walked her out and asked with phony concern “are you alright?” that Dorit played along. “Oh I’m fine. Everything is great.” Ripe with sarcasm. Dorit handled that party and her exit from it very well. She’s still not my favorite. But by far my least favorite is LVP, who constantly reminds me that she’s too old and snarky for this franchise. She’s much better as an overgrown teenager who is reigning over other teenagers on Vanderpump Rules.
I adore LVP. Her snarkiness and sense of humor are typically English – she manages to get her jabs in, and her point across, in a funny and yet honest way, while (usually) remaining unfailingly polite. Dorit deserved each and every remark that was made last night. She’s an unpleasant, conniving, thoroughly nasty piece of work who can dish it out with relish but not take it at all. The way she practically attacked LVP was unbelievable – she threw her backwards on the sofa, held her down, messed with her hair, and straddled her, all while jabbering hysterically how much she loved her!! Then she wouldn’t stop when Lisa told her to get the fuck off! I think she was in a total panic that PK was getting mad at her for upsetting one of his close friends, and fellow member of the ritzy group they all hang with in England, and felt desperate to make it OK. However, in her usual One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest way, she carried it way, way, way too far. I guarantee you that, privately, Lisa thinks she is a complete nut job, and wouldn’t have a thing to do with her if it weren’t for her friendship with PK. She’ll be polite to her, and even semi-friendly, in social situations, because that’s what her crowd does, but she’ll be wary of her. I also wonder if PK regrets ever hooking up with Dorit. After they began their affair, she became pregnant very quickly, and probably used every tool available to reel him in. From the looks he gives her some times, I think he’s realizing what a potential liability she could be for him. Hope he has an iron-clad prenup, but can’t imagine him getting rid of her easily. She would pull out every stop and trick in the book to stay married to him. Kind of feel sorry for the guy, even though he was stupid enough to be taken in by her in the first place.
I thought it was so funny when Erika acted so enthusiastically about the ball gag. Can you really see her in bed with her so-nice-but-definitely-not-a-young-rooster hubby with one of those in her mouth? I could see Lisa R. in a heartbeat, but Erika and Tom? Isn’t that more in the bondage style anyway? Supposed to keep you quiet? Wouldn’t you start to drool around the edges with that stuffed in your mouth? Just wondering.
LVP should have said, if I can smell your breath then that means you are too close to me, isn’t that what Dorit said to Lisa Rinna??
LVP did have a conversation with Dorit to no avail. Dorit is thick as a brick and talks in circles. With LVP and Camille behaving like Dorit, she finally got the message and it was great.
Yes. Dorit just demands that things happen her way and when they don’t she behaves like a child and continues to demand it change, since she cannot think anything through enough to work through a problem and achieve a resolution that satisfies more than just herself and her ego. .
Dorit and her fat husband are grifters. Reminiscent of what’s her name and the husband who committed suicide.
Is all the vitriol really necessary? This is a rhetorical question.
Hahaha. Yes it is.
P.S. You’re the best.
And currently, you’re the worst. But I have updated my commenting rules for you,
http://tamaratattles.com/commenting-rules/
You also need to change your name because there are way too many users named Dee here and I am sure some of them don’t want to be confused with you. So if you CAN abide by the rules you need to add something after Dee.
Yup, just like her children.
LVP did speak to Dorit in very clear terms that Dorrit is her friend by default. That alone would have caused me to back off with the butt kissing and physical assault. What is it about other women putting their hands on LVP?
Erika really does need to stop with all of the weird wardrobe changes. And she needs to burn the track suits, as was mentioned above. I see Erika being quite jealous of Teddy. It has to be a pain in the neck to get into stage makeup and strange costimes to be “herself”.
I also found it very interesting that when Dorit began her 500th conversation with Teddie at PK s party LVP was quick to jump on that band wagon. Now that LVP is upset with Dorit it’s suddenly funny to throw the glass issue in Dorit’s face and add Teddie into the mix. Bobby Fisher, ijs…
Those were Mario’s lace ears, correct?
Marlo and Carole Radziwil have worn them.
Loved this episode. Loved that Dorito is getting her come-uppance, but I hate that she’s aligned herself with Eryka. She did it on purpose because she knew when she went against her last season she had a wave ? of backlash from the viewers. I also don’t like teddy. She’s prententious and acts like she “keeps it real” but she’s full of herself. I don’t like that she tried to come for Eryka on more than one occasion. First at her beach house, then in next week episode. Like bitch obviously Eryka was drunk. Which she never drinks when she’s with the girls and the one time she does Teddy basically corners her and gets her to admit that she thought Dorito was wrong, though she openly avoided answering that question. Now you imply that she’s lying about it. Bitch please, who are you For someone to lie on. Ugh sorry for the long rant but her and Dorit I can’t stand. LVP too. She’s a horrible person.
I must have blinked and missed it but what was Dorit’s gift to LVP?
Pearl bracelet with some sort of eclipse clasp on it.
What is an eclipse clasp?
Maybe you need to wear special glasses to look at it.
Ahhahahahahahaha! Favorite post of the day.
Wow! Camille has a fabulous figure, but why do we have to have more vaginal talk by Bravo? And paying over $1300 for a few pieces of lingerie? Only in Beverly Hills, kiddos. Kyle does do wonderful imitations in general and has a great ear for accents. I thought that Dorit, as a younger woman with more athletic power, straddling LVP was snarmy and a real play for psychological domination on a primate level. Just YUK! And why is Erika always defending Dorit, who is indefensible, even ripping into Teddi (in the next episode) to say she (Erika) never said she would have been pissed with Dorit – when she said it! And I do not believe Erika forgets anything, so I am starting not to like her. Because Teddi does not deserve the wrath of Erika Jayne – who sorry – was lying. I hope Teddi lets her have it back and stands up fot herself. I love Camille and her ball gag, and thought it was very poor form of Dorit not to go to Pump. But Andy seems to like her? Just proving his poor taste.
YES! Erica just lost me, completely. I liked her simply because I felt she played the game impeccably. I have to say I am surprised Teddi has her so threatened. Now I am ready to be entertained by Erica being so threatened by a little Teddy bear. You are right Erica did not forget.
Erica true colors are revealing themselves. I knew she couldn’t keep up that facade for much longer. She needs to get over herself, she constantly name drops. Also the different and over the top looks are often times not very becoming. She’s a very beautiful woman however, it’s clear she has some issues I think that’s why she loves her alter ego it gives her the chance to live in la la land. She puts on this my life is perfect act to hide what’s really going on. She’s like LVP in some ways she also likes to be the center of attention. She lucked up and met a rich man but she needs to remember her humble beginnings.
Erika already showed that side when she lashed out at Eileen last season I believe. She even said she was wrong and overreacted. So… she has this side sleeping in here, just waiting to come out.
I am very curious to see if Erica will have the sense to apologize to Teddy at the reunion like she apologized to Eileen. The comments in response to the clip of Erica attacking Teddi next week on YouTube are like 98% in favor of Teddy. I think she made a huge mistake thinking she could take Teddy down like that, she is loosing her fans faster than I have ever seen on this franchise.
I loved this episode, and how we got to see fun things. I loved Lisa and Kyle shopping, they were bein silly which I love. I still don’t understand how Dorit thinks her behavior is anything but shit, she deserves the picking she is getting. Her husband even realized that and told her to shush it. The ball gag was a perfect gift and cracked me up and Dorit has always found joy when other people have been on the receiving end of Lisa’s little barbs. She just got hers this time and can’t handle it. I do like Teddi and I want to k ow why Erika isn’t keen on her. I love Erika though, she is amazing.
She’s prettier and younger.
I laughed out loud twice during this episode as LVP had her way with Dorit. I rarely laugh out loud at TV shows; it was an unexpected treat. Loving RHOBH….except for Erica not digging Teddi the way I do.
I loved this episode. Beautiful dinner party, great shopping trips and lunches.
I hope LVP continues to torture Dorit, who absolutely deserves it. I thought LVP was going to let her slide and was delighted that she skewered her. I will never feel sorry for Dorit, who needs to be knocked down several pegs. I hope that LVP tossing her magazine photos upsets her as well since she was a little biatch about them. Do you remember PK telling Dorit that she had to make sure that her tiff did not affect LVP’s birthday? I think that is why she was so desperate to get LVP to forgive her at Camille’s party.
Erika seems to be wearing all of Gucci’s over-the-top stuff and it is not especially flattering. No offense but IMHO a woman of her age should not wear cutesy bows. She should kick Mikey to the curb.
And I love Camille — she will not let Dorit off the hook either. The gift was especially sweet in light of Dorit’s little “gift” to Erika. Not so funny now, is it Dorit?
So glad to see this post, TT! I kept checking for it (we have a snow storm and my electricity has been off quite a bit.)
yes, i’ve noticed there’s a lot of Gucci this season especially erika but also the other women – Gucci must be giving them the items! LVP does have a very nasty edge but loved the way she kept giving it to Dorit. Totally believe (a few seasons ago) that she was behind planting/bringing the trash magazines along to torment Kyle. It’s more than British Humour – she is very passive, aggressive and nasty and never, never wrong. Doritos was wrong and kept talking behind Kyle’s back and LVP’s – she deserved what she got! especially from Camille. Seems she had a lot of trouble taking a joke.
Carlton and even Yolanda admitted that LVP was running late and never went in Brandi’s house. Brandi brought up the affair rumors FIRST at Carlton’s luncheon. Why does no one question on why Brandi bought the magazines in the first place? No one talked more about those affair rumors than Kyle.
People hate on LVP but I love her. All of these women, no matter the past with her are drawn toward her but then they stop before getting to close. You just know that slapping her or jumping on her. You will be placed outside the circle. Erika is too cool but even she has come around. The 12 yr old adults at SUR are about worshipping LVP. Once gone, they grovel to get back in her good graces.
LVP is a lot like Bethany. They have some charisma that draws people regardless of what they do or say. It has to be part of the reason for their success.
Well said. ITA.
Let me count the ways. Apparently, he has changed the name of Dorit’s company and slashing half of her fashions. I don’t believe anything these two say.
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
I wondered if he dumped the name because it’s Hebrew.
I loved Erika her first few seasons but I’m tired of hearing her speech about how she “made it”, she did not make anything, she married a rich man. Without Tom’s money Erika Jayne would not exist. It’s not like she was discovered and became a pop star or whatever. I don’t begrudge her Tom’s help, it’s awesome she is doing what she loves but be real about how you got there.
Oh, she’s made it. She’s BEEN DONE HAD all the money. Now she is singing at Christina Agulerra’s birthday party, doing world tours of the gay clubs, is on a TV show, has a book about her life published, and has Hollywood clamoring over HER.
Plenty of people MAKE IT by marrying well. You can fault how she got there, but you can’t deny her success.
She’s a joke and yes, she would be NO ONE without Tom’s money. She SUCKS as a singer and doesn’t dance either. She proved that on Dancing with the Stars.
Hmmm I disagree. There has to be SOME hustle there. Any pretty young thing can marry a rich guy. Keeping him and creating something for yourself is the skill. Also not everyone can get up on stage and keep people coming back for more. There’s SOMETHING there.
Still a cunt though.

It’s such a great feeling to finally achieve “freedom” in your life…freedom to be whoever or whatever you want and have a partner who loves and adores you for it. Happiness is ALWAYS money well spent. Erika and Tom Love each other.. Dress up, dance, sing, eat, love, be Free…Be happy
I like something in each of these women, that’s why I watch…even Dorit, I laugh out load at her ….poor thing can’t decide what or who she wants to be when she grows up!!
I visit with these shows every week, not for their great lives or fashion sense….but just because of the bullshit and the laughs.
And especially TT!! Most of all! I look forward to you daily! Oh and therealdeb…what can I say…I love your way with words 😉
Cheers
“It’s such a great feeling to finally achieve “freedom” in your life…”
THIS SO MUCH.
I think it comes with age. Some of these commenters are just not there yet and are still taking everyone else’s inventory. They are still living by other peoples rules.
Freedom is nice, and I’ve had it all my life. Much to the chagrin of many of my friends and family. The phrase, “Tamara just does whatever she wants to do” is often thrown around as an insult. I just laugh and laugh.
Always worth the wait TT, great recap. I did enjoy this episode – probably because of all the shade thrown at Dorit. LOVE Camille. She has been bringing it and I hope she’s full time next season. I really wanted Teddi and Erika to be bffs but apparently that’s not going to happen ?
Ok great recap-one of my favorite episodes ever-LVP’s slashing of Dorit was EVERYTHING. It was perfection. This episode had it all and was an incredibly beautiful table-as only LVP can do. This is why we watch people!!
I agree! I’m facinated! On the one hand I look at such beautiful surroundings…with envy…then “I see” fingerprints, dog noseprints, cat pawprints…then I think…? I love how pretty everything is!!! This is why I watch and keep watching. Love all the clothes too!
Not sure why people in this thread keep defending Teddy. People really don’t watch the show or secretly don’t like Eryka. Because no one can be that oblivious, unless they just don’t want to see the truth. When LVP, Kyle And Dodo got into it, they all asked Eryka would she be mad if she was in their shoes. And she avoided answering that question, because taking a side would cause an even bigger rift between LVP and her pawns, which she was clearly trying to avoid. She was trying really hard to keep the peace and not let it get too far out of hand between those girls. Because as much as I believe she dislikes LVP and Dorit…I don’t think she wants to see those many years of friendship dissipate. It’s obvious she cares, Unlike Teddy. Teddy kept asking her too, and she avoided answering her as well. However, Teddy cornered her alone and asked like three times and she finally admitted that yes she would be pissed. But I can see how she wouldn’t remember that because like Rinna (who I love and missed this episode) she was drunk. And never she drinks around these girls. I remember her saying in her first season, she doesn’t like to drink around people she doesn’t know, because she wants to be accountable for everything she says. From the clip I saw of next week, Eryka told Teddy she doesn’t remember but that she could’ve said it, and Teddy indirectly called her a liar. That’s cause for her to be pissed off at someone. But it seems like most people in this thread want to be on the dick-riding Teddy bandwagon as if she can’t do any wrong. That shits annoying.
So literally everyone except for possibly Rinna, asked Erika if she would be pissed about Dorit’s behavior, and somehow Teddi crossed the line on how many times she could ask the question?
DORIT is the asshole here, why are you lashing at at Teddi about it?
Because I feel like Teddi knew she was trying to avoid answering that question. She was the only one that wasn’t drunk, so she definitely knew what she was doing. She cornered and asked again. I believe Teddi knew Erika wanted to stay neutral and wanted to get her out that neutrality. But that’s just me.
And that’s not my biggest pet peeve with Teddi. She so fucking pretentious. She wants to tout this “I don’t lie,” I keep it real,” I tell it like is, real woman, but she’s not above starting shit and stirring the pot. All the while touting realness. By inferring Erika lied about her opinion on the matter with Kyle and Dorit, and inferring she left her beach house for other than the reason Erika gave…is starting shit with Erika. But she’s playing the victim. Throwing the rock and hiding her hands. She’s full of shit. But I hate Dorit more. So she doesn’t get a pass. Just can stand when people pretend to be Good a righteous and they aren’t.
Btw TT I’ve been viewing your blog since Kenya’s first season of ROAH and I love your insight and your perception of the shows you recap. You do such an amazing job. Keep up the great work!
I was curious about the scarf, googled “blind for love scarf”…Gucci. I didn’t see that particular scarf in the online store. Yikes, need a good solid income, they start at $495.
PS. Everyone probably already knows this, I did not “blind for love” is a “thing” they have clothes, jewelry, handbags, shoes….
PSS. Perfect example of why I watch. I learn something new about the ladies that lunch! Luv it!!!!
The way that Erika wears Gucci, she may be dropping lots of money there. That scarf could easily have been a gift from Gucci to Erika. LVP didn’t look too impressed with it.
I don’t know what everyone is talking about but I think it’s just plain jealousy and a need to hate. Erika’s looks we’re on point as always. The bow with her shirt is one of those added touches that makes her stand out. It looked professional, classy and chic to me. I bet everyone bitching about it is sitting around in sweatpants.
And as far as seeing the mean side of Erika where was it? In the previews where you don’t know what she is reacting to? We all know that previews are edited to make things look bad. Or was it when she said that she would crucify dorit. She should as dorit tried to pass off that whole disgusting you’re showing your pussy to my husband to seduce him storyline and repeatedly embarrassed her.
I like teddi too but I have no idea why they are fighting in the previews. I wouldn’t be to keen on warming up to her after calling me out for leaving a party when I was sick. Overall they need to let small faux paus go as I’m sure they will find bigger things to fight over.
Yes Tamara this is why I love this show too. The party looked amazing. I wanted to chow down and I’ll drink rosè out of a tumbler if that’s what’s needed for me to attend.
This version of Camille where she stands up for herself is what I love. Good for her for creating her own fragrance line I’ll have to check it out.
Nah, I am not jealous of Erika (and I am not wearing — nor do I ever wear — sweatpants). I just think she’s too old to wear the little girl Gucci dress with a bow and other similar stuff by Gucci. That’s all. lol I don’t care about her costume clothing.
I am currently wearing men’s pajamas that aren’t particularly clean. Thank God I am not on a TV so that everyone can call me a cross dresser. Or point out that they make me look fatter or that I the tops and bottoms do not match.
Oh wait. I’d have zero fucks to give. Where have we heard that before. People in America are free to dress as they please. And sure we can comment on ugly pajamas, or ugly designer T-shirt dresses. Or mention that we don’t like track suits unless you are actually on a track.
But saying she’s too old, short, fat, light skinned, dark skinned, skinny or anything else about someone’s body is not cool.
I’m not a fan of the t-shirt dress on Erika. That’s fine. Who the hell does she think she is wearing that dress, she’s too short for it, and while I’m talking about her I think her marriage is a scam, she was a crappy mother, and she’s a horrible person. That’s just a bit far to go over someone’s choice of wardrobe.
Well, I have no opinion on her job (it’s ok by me), her DH (lucky girl) or her mothering (who is a perfect mother?). I just think those bows are little girlish — maybe it just seems a contradiction to her persona.
Sorry Thill I wasn’t aiming that at you. I agree about a lot of the comments on Erika’s looks this season. I just felt like people were being so brutal. I put my comment here because you seemed like you were NOT foaming at the mouth.
Thanks TT. I am just not a fan of Gucci’s recent collections. On Erika or most other people.
So if someone dislikes someone’s outfit they are jealous, sweatpan-wearing haters?
Uh huh. ?
I think everyone is going overboard with suddenly hating Erika when two blogs ago they were loving her. The reason – a preview of a fight where she looks like she yells at Teddi. But maybe she is yelling at Dorit and crucifying her. Then she will be loved again. It’s just shows how fickle people are.
And yes they are sweatpant wearing haters. Let her have her fashion. It’s obviously for fun and for her brand. This is her job, so it is kinda her uniform
Where are people getting the idea that this was Camille’s fragrance line? The screen text clearly showed the owner of the House of Sillage. I think Camille just partnered with the brand to create a fragrance for her cause.
I meant her particular perfume that is part of a brand she partnered with. Good for her. I will check it out.
A billion thumbs up ??!
A billion thumbs up ??
Sweet T those ?? Was for your last comment.
I actually put on my favorite jeans today (maybe 15 plus years old Levis.. older?) thinking I’d head to the grocery store, never happened…lazy day. I’m going to change into my sleepy time sweats…I would have no where to wear 3/4 of the clothes I own because I love pretty things but I live in a sleepy mountain town where “dressing up” is wearing “Columbia.” I do always pair my scrubs with matching shoes, glasses and earrings at work!
I don’t always agree with the fashion choices ladies make but there are a bazillion fashion lines because we all have different tastes and likes, period.
I hate you for being able to wear 15 year old Levis. I just did a huge closet purge and I just CAN NOT get rid of the Levi’s I long to wear.
And they are men’s. Apparently, I’ve bee cross dressing for a long time. When I was in high school I used to buy Ralph Lauren shirts in the boys department.
I think I need my own letter in the LGBTIAQRSTUVWZYZ community.
Just make one up. They’re all at it. Bloody queers.
In the early eighties, myself and every girl I knew bought our Lacoste and Polo shirts in the boys department at Rich’s at either Lenox or Perimeter. They were about $10 a sort cheaper.
Yes! And it was exactly the same shirt.
They haven’t always fit!!! They’re my favorite jeans so unless I die or zero fabric is left I will never purge them! I have to buy men’s tennis shoes because size 11 (woman’s ) toe boxes aren’t comfortable.
I know I’m behind on PC abbreviating but apparently I’m REALLY behind! You crack me up!
I love Erika and how she lives her life and that she wears whatever she wants. So what if she seems like she’s playing dress up everyday?? She’s not hurting anyone! The only thing I don’t like is how dismissive she is of Teddi. I really like Teddi. And I don’t want to see everyone gang up on her and twist every conversation she has with someone into something its not. Especially Dorit who is trying desperately to stay on LVP’s good side, she has become embarrassing to watch!
Thanks for updating the Comment Rules for me, Dee. I’ve used that name here for a long time. Years, in fact.
Dorit’s husband is fat because of his ACTIONS.
I didn’t mock suicide; I couldn’t remember their names. Dude’s suicide was his ACTION.
Sorry to offend. I thought the delicate flowers and their sensibilities were gone.
This was by far my favorite episode.I really didn’t care to see 2 women in underwear.
I like Teddi and I have talked to the TV by saying Teddi stop it when she starts it gets involved then all of a sudden at Camilles she wants to drop it….. she will learn with age that at times it is better to play stupid and not stir anything up from the start ..Rinna was killing me at the bar when she was wasted what’s the issue Camille.? see Teddi you are better to be like Rinna with these women. . Wasted ..
Dorit made the mistake of blabbing at dinner and involving everyone and she is the liar.that is just how I see it.
Lisa P will never ever confide in her again.
I figured out why Ericka has a problem with Teddi Lisa P let her in right away and I think it bothers Ericka…I think Dorit is regretting bringing Teddi in cause Lisa P took to her and they talk and hang out and do not need Dorit there .
Dorit straddled Lisa P what the hell is wrong with that woman she is acting like 2 yr old child.She has had way too many talking heads and too much airtime.
I loved that her ad pics are being replaced by a professional model who is Gorgeous for Lisa’s jewelry collection.will any of us be able to afford any of it ? Probably not me.
Next Gucci needs to hire Ericka to do something for them just saying.
Camille has been fun this season,I wonder if she is Friend by her choice she could be full time and it would not bother me .
I bet you could afford it. I just googled it and it ranges from $9 to $14. Everything is reduced 80% so it must not have sold well.
