We start off with Kyle and Teddi on time for the noon trip to the Berlin Zoo. Rinna and Dorit are in the spa getting massages and pedicures while everyone waits for them. No idea where Erika is at this point. After nearly an hour, Kyle and Teddi text that they will meet them in front of the zoo. Erika is sick as a dog and that is why she is late. The zoo is 173 years old. That’s amazing. The threesome is being led on tour by the zoo director who is a wealth of knowledge. There are only, 1,834 pandas left in the world. They ladies get behind the scenes access to the ones on loan from China.
Apparently, Rinna and Dorit were tasked with filming all the spa scenes in exchange for their lovely suites. I’d be pissed if I missed the zoo for a massage. These two probably volunteered for the spa day. We didn’t get to see nearly enough of the zoo. I wish they would post unseen footage.
Later Kyle and Teddi do their makeup together. Kyle does Teddi’s makeup for her. I believe they are getting ready for the boat ride (probably from hell) and they are talking about Erika’s behavior toward Teddi. It seems even though both sides have already apologized for their roles, production needs a fight for the boat scene. Because, God forbid two women apologize and move on like normal people.
Rinna is in a latex coat, she is wearing a blazer as a dress over a black Teddi. Once again, Erika is late and the lades are drinking on the van. The girls call Erika because they are not going to make the boat at this point. She doesn’t answer so the girls go on without her with the plan to hold the boat. On the way there, Dorit and Kyle agree to stop arguing over LVP. Erika eventually leaves the hotel via car and driver. She arrives in her latex ensemble.
Erika shows off her latex ensemble and Rinna shows off her Teddi. Rinna wonders why they are having such a good time on the boat. Oh, yes! It’s because LVP is not there.
After the boat ride the girls head to a nightclub down a dark and scary alley. Well we thought it was a nightclub. At first it seems like a big empty warehouse but in the back is a secret restaurant that one may dine at by invitation only. Well alright then. You might not want to advertise it on a TV show. As the lovely appetizer of beets and truffles and such is place in front of them, Dorit, is dismayed that their candles are not it. I literally could not abide going on vacation with Dorit. Dorit is one of the many examples of why I can’t travel with others. I’ve done it and I promise you traveling is way more fun when you can go alone and don’t have people doing obnoxious things or freaking out because you are puking your guts out when you stumble back to the room you are sharing with your sister at five am. I mean it’s not my fault she didn’t want to go clubbing in NYC and she’s just lucky the random guy who drove me back to my hotel and walked me to the door didn’t come in to crash as well. I’m just saying. Freedom from judgement on vacation is a good thing.
Erika’s latex attire is apparently to make her look like a badass when she comes for Teddi. Teddi is such a soft target that Erika really should be ashamed of herself. But she’s not. When Dorit asks if everyone is good, Erika spits out, “I have one issue, pretend amnesia.” while tugging on her latex bow. Really? I am so sick of this argument. Erika lied. Teddi called her out. Both people apologized. And now Erika wants to go another round? Is this really necessary? Teddi’s eyes are always watery. Erika has her bitch tone on. Is it from the tequila shots? Dorit points out that Erika scares the living shit out of Erika. Teddi says that she doesn’t know what it is about Erika that makes her emotional. Suddenly, Erika realizes that she has been an asshole. She doesn’t want to scare anyone. And just like that, Erika says she will not revisit the subject again and they are good. I feel like they just went through the motions of that spat to satisfy production. But, Teddi really does appear to be intimidated by Erika. I wish she would stand her ground more.
Well, LVP was not docked an episode for leaving Berlin early. She has a Vanderpump dogs commercial in this episode.
I love these interstitial montages between the housewives primary packages. “Lola did you see any rats?” “Wow, the crotch is so tiny!” etc…
Kyle is sad to be leaving her house. Sure she is moving into a huge mansion but as much as I want to move out the ghetto, I keep changing my mind. I email my real estate agent in Charleston crying for her to get me out of here and then the next day send a list of reasons why I can’t leave yet. It’s insane. I know this but I’ve always moved a lot and this is the longest I’ve even lived anywhere and I have a bunch of crap I have accumulated and it is just overwhelming and even though it is a chapter that I need to end, I am for reasons I don’t clearly understand, reluctant. Kyle has only lived there for around six years.
Teddi and her family go out to eat. Teddi says that she has decided it’s not important to her to invest in a horse anymore. She has a lot of clients, (and the show) and she just wants to be sure she has time to focus on her family. Her husband says,”I guess I can buy the new Lamborghini now!”
Erika Jayne has a NYC performance at a gay club. There is an issue about using smoke. They are going to have to go with glitter cannons, sayeth the fire marshal.
I believe next week is the finale. I can’t believe that Dorit’s fake fashion show is going to be the finale event. UGH. Dear God please let this final scene end. Dorit’s voice is killing me. I can’t wait to see Kyle’s new house and the premiere of American Woman! Camille announces her engagement. Kyle gets pissed off at Dorit and LVP again.
Crappy episode. Erika is becoming annoying as can be. BUT it was great to see my fav, Faye Resnick back on the show, even if it was only a cameo role. I wish they would make her a full time HW. She would be amazing fighting with Dorit and Erika.
I agree with you about Faye, she would be fierce going up against Erika, and it wouldn’t be an unfair fight like it seems to be with Teddi. Faye vs Dorit might be comedy gold.
Faye seriously ? I for the life of me could not remember her name to save myself. Then I see your cooment and oh Yeah her name is Faye.
She got so much haterd for a blog she posted on Bravo I read somewhere that Bravo had to take it down.
She looiks older than hell,Like she is still into drugs and not clean.That is just my opinion.
She is suppose to be a decorator but looks more like a dealer .
Erika looks like an aging dominatrix Madonna wanna be. Emphasis on wanna be.
I think you nailed it. Wannabe Madonna!
They Need to return Erika to her original Mattel packaging. Then they can remove Dorrit’s batteries.
Perfect ??
That is hysterical on both Erika an Dorit. Did not like the look tonight. Also the lateness, she’s just wanting to make an entrance.
Erika Giradi I liked but she’s in full Erika Jayne mode and it’s tiring
I don’t if I’ve just watched these shows too long or the shows are getting worse about constantly revisiting these ridiculous arguments, but it’s BORING! And all this waiting for someone with no call or text. I’m sure it’s production, but it’s fucking rude. And all this latex wearing must get rank. I can’t stand myself in yoga pants after a workout. Yikes.
The shows are getting worse. And OMG YES! All that latex….eeww.
I am over Erica and her alter ego Erica Jayne. She is a mean girl. Her treatment of Teddi is akin to kicking a puppy. I almost started to like Rinna until her talking heads. She seems like she either hates LVP or is jealous of her. All in all this episode was enjoyable because of the zoo, the scenery and the opulence . All the women looked beautiful and rich !
Agree with your Erica comment… Disagree with your Rinna comment, they all have to fun shade each other in their talking heads or the show is boring without a bitchy opinion, LVP does it 10×’s more than Rinna does to her and I’m sure production demands this. I’m sure production was trying to “lategate” Erica to cause drama on the boat…. Great episode…
I’m not sure why we need to keep being exposed to the vile Faye Resnick
@Kate: I agree. If Faye ever becomes full time, then I will do to Beverly Hills like I have done to Atlanta since they brought Nene back and bid it adieu.
Agree. Although Faye Resnick makes my skin crawl, you have to admit that she looks pretty good. The family dinner scene with Teddi was beyond boring and awkward. She can’t carry her own scenes. Then rest of the housewives can.
TT I have a fear of moving as well. Once you do move and purge your belongings it feels great, like a sense of accomplishment. Plus, you seem to love Charleston. Everytime I second guessed a move I would visit my pending future location and it would put me in the mood to just do it . The excitement!
I’m having a little work done on my house and I’ve told you that our houses are very similar, TT. I live 5 doors up from the courthouse though. Therefore I’m being forced to purge. It is very difficult because I won’t be doing this again because I’m old. I have a pile of stuff for my children to go thru: photos of their friends, report cards to include mine and my parents, and other junk you keep in a lifetime. If they don’t want it, they can take it to the trash that day. It’s emotionally difficult yet liberating at the same time. I don’t want to die and my kids have this task and laugh about me keeping all this junk.
I’m disappointed with BH. Rinna has phoned it in, Erika is a mean girl, and Dorit is just way over the line. I can’t believe that she and Erika both brought up old problems during their trip to Germany. Maybe NY won’t be boring. Or maybe all of the Housewives have run their course.
maybe because I work in healthcare with people who have real problems, but to see Dorit have what I think is a diarrhea attack about a fucking curtain just makes me nuts. i need a puppy cure like LVP had.
Erika’s outfit wanted me to wear latex just once and look good in it. Why didnt they go to a club? They got all dressed up to go on a boat taxi and have a quiet dinner? In latex?
I was sure they were dressing for an edgy Berlin nightclub when they got dressed. What they ended up doing seemed crazy given their looks. That was an outing for the good jeans and a nice cashmere sweater with some good jewelry and a nice handbag. I felt horrible for Teddi who was dressed up like a cheap hooker. She looked so uncomfortable in her out fit.
Erika’s sudden shock of concern that she was being mean was laughably fake. She practically Had an organism when Dorit said she scared Teddi. Her act is officially stale.
Moving is such a pain. I am going room by room doing the keep, donate, trash then thinking about, going back into the donate stuff and keeping it. It is a game I play. This is the last time. TT, sometimes it’s good to hang on to your things even if they never leave their box again and live in the garage.
As for RHOBH, Rinna is really the exact same person she has always been. When she talked about replacing “old girls” with “new blood”, everyone knew exactly who she was referencing. Yet, Rinna is calling LVP out for making the assumption. Plus Harry bringing a bunny was a dig, lets kick Kim while she isn’t here. Andy had bunnies because he is an idiot.
I just like Teddi for no particular reason. I think Erika the latex Barbie enjoys finding a weaker woman and preying on her. Of course she is scary. Teddi should yell in the middle of these berating (Just Don’t) oh yeah, well you’re no John Cougar Mellencamp. Lets face it the man made multiple millions without latex or other gimmicks on Jack & Diane alone . He sure doesn’t have a glam squad. Erika’s act is getting old. I do bet she will come to the reunion in costume. Does anyone know?
Is it just me? I literally didn’t understand anything in your second paragraph. Did you watch a different show or was my episode 15 minutes short?
Muffintop was referring to WWHL. The Bev Hills housewives were on tonight.
Oh thank god! I thought I was going senile.
That is funny! “I thought I was going senile”? about #WWHL Rinna thinks viwers and LVP are dumb. She said on radio Andy that she pretty much or in so many words that she wanted LVP fired. Typical Rinna backpedaling.
At first I thought Jim was talking about my second paragraph and I was thinking, I usually don’t start nodding off until the end. Then I remembered Muffintops post that I read four times and wondered why I didn’t remember Harry on the episode at all and began to question my memory as well.
I did kind of wax poetic
Teddi is not so impressed by Erika Jayne, her father is John Mellencamp. He is a major star, maybe not so much today but he was. Teddi has no doubt rubbed elbows with music royalty so maybe Erika Jayne is not that big a deal. Could that be bothering Erika? Does she miss Eileen who practically drooled all over aerika?
When Erika leaves the show, nobody will care about Erika Jayne ever again. Once people leave a reality show, they drop off the radar.
@Muffin: Her dad is still major. He has reached that stage of not having to tour or release new material yet is still an icon. If he did decide to tour, folks would lose their minds and he would sell out.
Teddi is the only one in the group that has grown up very wealthy, but her parents gifted her with an appreciation of it. Like she said, when she reached adulthood, her dad wished her luck, but did not send her off with a trust fund.
Erika bumps, grinds and puts on a mean girl act. Others have bent over at one time or another to gain favor with Erika, but Teddi did not and I think that threw Erika for a loop.
I cannot handle Dorit’s facial expressions, and her eyes bugging out freaks me out. Dorit is utterly annoying. Rinna cracks me up, and I love her talking heads. I don’t care, I love Erica! I kind of get her, we both throw up walls and have ferocious tempers and we don’t like to be touched, especially when I am upset. I want people to stay away from me, I refer to myself as a touch me not. I cuddle and snuggle my kids all the time but other people I’d rather they stay out of my bubble. I really feel badly for Kyle, Lisa is yanking her chain on purpose and is loving seeing her upset. And lastly poor Teddi…. she can stir the shit and all and when someone isn’t recalling saying something ( that she misquoted or put a different way) she implies they are lying. Umm nope, I am sure we have all not recalled saying something and then later it comes back to us, and if anyone says that has never happened to them they are lying. Nobody appointed Teddi to be the hall monitor and if she can’t handle getting snapped at she should rethink the “role” she has chosen for herself.
Ditto on this. I’m not joining in on the Ericka hate. I’d still rather run with her and Rinna than LVP…who is so shady. Though I love Teddi, she certainly can stir the mess and is well capable of holding her own. I wish she and Ericka would just get along.
Every season there is a new person that is “a breath of fresh air”. Then the next season they are hated. I cant imagine having an accountability queen around is a lot of fun. If she lasts till next season more of her will show and people will think she is annoying. You have to remember how much is cut out and I can imagine Teddy is not making as many interesting comments as the other ladies so she gets less air time. This makes me think we are missing lots of her little observations and corrections. She calls people out on their behaviors and that gets old fast. I should know. I do it all the time and I’m super annoying.
Erika, Erika, Erika, red and black latex? Really? Why would anyone want to wear something that you’re going to sweat in, plus have to be oiled and powdered to even get it to come up over your ample body? I really wanted to see her in something elegant and appropriate, or just plain comfortable. She looked like she was going to an S&M/dominatrix party back in the 70’s with my English nymphomaniac aunt, Pauline. I never actually went to one myself, being a rather sheltered girl, but Pauline was very proud of all the outfits she made and the kinky crowd she ran with, and had a lot of photos, which she was proud of showing. She looked like a young Liz Taylor, beautiful young woman really, and my mum and her sisters would sit around the dining room table with their cups of tea in hand and nibble on a plate of milk covered chocolate digestive biscuits,. They’d pretend to be horrified when they looked at them, but, in all actuality, I’d never heard them enjoy themselves more. Sorry about that. You can blame Erika for my random and totally irrelevant memories. That, and being stuck on bed rest with a bad case of bronchitis. Too much time for my ancient mind to wander.
I also don’t understand Rinna and her compulsion to keep showing herself off in black teddies. For a boat ride? OK, I’m jealous. Even in my ancient prime I didn’t rock a negligee to that degree. She looks amazing for being in her mid-50’s, and she’s not afraid to show it. I do enjoy Rinna, especially now she’s not being portrayed as the crazy trouble-maker.
Love Aunt Pauline and her clucking sisters secretly enjoying her sass.
I wish I had a nempomanic auntie! Sounds like amazing stories to be had!
I don’t understand why Teddi doesn’t just tell Erika she lied, to get over herself and to Eff off. And there is something about Erika that is making me afraid for her because she is so unkind and tough that it seems like she is riding for a fall. She is getting a little scary, like Bette and Joan scary.
I agree and I usually like Erika… i just dont like this mean bitchy side.
Tamera,
I completely understand your predicament about not wanting to move.when I divorced my first husband in 2003 it sent me on the “moving your” once a year or every six months myself and two kids moved.
I got remarried 2009 to a wonderful man and we moved a lot as well. At one poi t spending from march to Dec 4th in a camper. In VT. Finally in 2014 after my dad died we found the house we are in now. The longest my kids and I have ever lived.
But now my kids are 25 married pregnant, and 21 single bachelor both at home still. But they want to move. I don’t. Aside from living here for so long. We are right in the middle of our town. Surrounded by lakes parks, and stores. In NH. And in a house that was my best friends growing up. Its 4brm for 990. We won’t find anything this. Size or location for that price.
But life moves on even when we don’t want it to.
As for the show. Erika has been a major bitch this season. I don’t get her hard on for Teddie except jealousy and fear of losing her diamond.
Dorrit is a mental nut case and reminds me of Kelly from NYC or the Salisa from dc. I think that’s how they spell it.
I also don’t tho k teddy ever wanted a horse but was using it for a story line and get close to Lisa.
I envy Kyle’s life. Her sister must too.. (Kim) I know she owes big taxes that I’m sure one of the sisters will bail her out. I also can’t be live she still has kingsly and he hasn’t been sheltered till after the trial. I can’t see how an unstable person can have such a dangerous animal.
I have never been to a zoo. I’ve always wanted to. I have been to aquariums but not the same. Its a bucket list item.
On that boat I would have been rushed to the hospital with all that latex around. Highly allergic. The outfits looked whorish to me but I’m a prude now lol
It totally did! So much shade and hilarity.
I can’t believe the season is over. I can’t really think of one interesting storyline. This was a mediocre season.
I’ve not watched the episode yet, but the stills – Erika needs to change up her glam concept. It’s stale, been done to a turn in the 90s. It’s not retro and nor is she wearing these getups ironically either.
Phooey.
Wow at PK’s display of neediness ! “You didn’t send me a text this morning and you know I like to wakeup to texts”.
Also him tagging along to her pre-fashion-show meeting and contradicting her was so disrespectful. She had questions (like why is the runway shortened 8 feet without telling her, when the music and the models’ walks are all timed for a 52 foot runway) and PK saying “Oh it will all be fine.” and smiling at the guy like Dorit is making a mountain out of a mole hill.
PK may be a successful businessman but I doubt he’s run fashion shows and we know for a fact that Dorit has.
Also, although I am no Dorit fan, I trust her eye for detail more than his. Dorit noticed the candles at dinner weren’t lit. PK wouldn’t notice if his shirt were on inside-out.
It’s a pattern of disrespect to his wife. When she was out of town he changed the name of her beachwear and also changed the prices.
When she went all out for his birthday, he criticized her singing. How much sweeter would it have been if he had liked his wife’s singing? Or at least not criticized her on camera. Tell her privately that you appreciated the effort but she shouldn’t sing in the future.
Also, being very dismissive of the statue she gave him of herself with the children. Telling her she looks like Barbra Streisand. Sheesh! On camera. After the backlash he got from his first season, I would expect him to at least pretend to be a supportive husband on camera this year.
Hmmm . . . . I thought the opposite about the swimwear line. I had the feeling, seeing this walk-through and also on an earlier episode when they went to the factory and talked with the team, that PK is really the one who handles everything, and Dorit just pretends to. I don’t think PK does the designing–I think they have a real designer for that–but I think he arranges all the business side of things. And Dorit just pretends to be the designer, like when it showed her (on a previous episode) hand-drawing strings on suits that were already designed and printed out. In all the “work” scenes, she just moans about how stressed she is and how busy, but really other people do all the work.
While overall a boring season I enjoyed it. I can’t believe it’s almost over. I chalk that up to NO KIM!!! It is so much better without the crazy the surrounds her. I’ve enjoyed Kyle this season. She seems more relaxed. I like all the cast. Yes, Dorit is awful but she’s better than Brandi! You have to have at least one housewife to fill that role.
I agree with you it is like Breath of Fresh Air no Kim Richards it was Great !!
My wish is I never have to see her again ,is that asking too much ?
These shows have indeed gotten boring. The only thing that blew me away was in the comments: Teddi is Johnny Cougar’s daughter, Teddi Jo? No shit!
This site is so educational.
Erika’s costumes for every day is getting annoying. Cant she dress like a normal human being for once? Also the way she enjoyed intimidating Teddi at dinner again over being called out for her ‘pretend amnesia’ a few dinners ago. She is a psychological bully towards sweet Teddy and she is loving it.
Still feeling a grudging respect for Erika’s ability to Wear It Because I Frakkin’ CAN no matter what it is. If I could WIBIFC, I’d go for something more along the lines of Stevie Nicks circa 1975 look, and less Sprockets dance audition look, but still. She’s creative and shameless and ballsy and I like it. As for Faye Resnick, the only possible service she could ever perform for the betterment of RH-kind would be to turn her talons and veneers on Dorit. It’d be like watching the odious medium-sized flesh-eating dinosaur going down the little red lane of the odious large-sized flesh-eating dinosaur. Now that’s entertainment.
This cracks me up on so many levels.
I just can’t with Erika. She’s not “real” and her “I give 0 f’s”is so fake. Her costumes are annoying and just ridiculous at this point. She’s almost become a cartoon of herself a la Kim Zolciak.
yes, she s much prettier as Erica Girardi.She should leave the stage looks for the stage.
I like Kyle. I liked the scene near the end, when she went to LVP’s house and called one of the dogs “this little Ken.” She said a few other funny things in that scene.
Just watched the WWHL with the RHOBH–so funny! If you haven’t watched it, do! Why can’t the reunions be like this–funny and everyone joking instead of rehashing old fights?
I think it sucks we didn’t see more of Germany. It sucks that RHBH is almost over !!
There was not any real drama this season and the trips were the Best !! Making this the best Beverly season and NO Kim Richards to top it off.
The other Houewives need to do more Trips .
I really loved Rinna this season and think she maybe my fav housewife this Season
I am scared that Dorit because of her friendship with Lisa Pump is gonna be around for a long time unless Lisa Pump quits. sigh Or their friendship ends for some reason.
I am so looking forward to Lisa Pump telling Dorit that she in NOT in the magazine ! !LMFAO Maybe Dorit shouldn’t of been such a selfish Diva she pissed some people off. Will Dorit humble herself and step down from her high horse I highly doubt it.She will be heartbroken but did it to herself being overly confident in her opinion of herself.
I hope Lisa Pump doesn’t change her or mag s mind and sticks with it ! No Dorit.
It’s way too early in my day for word salad.
WTF is wrong with these women who are running late but don’t feel the need to tell the people WAITING ON THEM that they are running late? Is this production creating a storyline or do these women just have no effing manners? And they’re not like 5-10 minutes late it’s a ridiculous amount of time.
The truth about latex when it’s been painted on is that in time if used on the exterior it can peel off an expose what it was intended to cover up.
