Lord, this is going to be Dorit heavy episode and I’m over it two minutes in. Ken is trying not to fall asleep in the car and I am trying not to fall asleep on this couch. I took a whole Xanax a couple of hours ago to try to knock out the constant panic attacks and it’s got me working at a very slow pace. Here’s hoping we can get this fake swimsuit fashion show over quickly.
Camille arrives with a huge engagement ring and everyone is so happy for her. It seems that Teddi’s husband was the guy who put in the security system at the new house. I wonder if Maurico was pissed at him after the robbery. My understanding is that someone forgot to turn the system on, so maybe not.
Kyle is pissed at Dorit over constantly trying to drive a wedge in between Kyle and Erika. And Kyle and LVP. The suits are really cute actually.
After the runway, LVP lets Dorit know that she is not using her photo shoot in the magazine. Kyle says she would love to be in the magazine. This seems to be the opening salvo in the Kyle Dorit battle of the day. Kyle says Dorit’s attempts to get closer to Erika always come at her expense. LVP tries to point out the obvious, this is pantygate thing has been going on forever, Kyle leaves venue feeling like no one is sticking up for her. Dorit is pissed that Kyle has ruined her event.
I love these scenes with Harry Hamlin and Lisa Rinna. A hairstylist comes to trim Harry’s hair for a job he is shooting. I wonder who takes care of all these plants. Rinna talks about staying out of all the drama this season.
Kyle and Teddi go the park to workout. They talk about Erika not speaking up about pantygate. Kyle is having a viewing party for American Woman.
LVP is ridiculously bad at naming dogs.
Kyle’s house is really pretty. All the girls love what she’s done with it. Kyle tries to smooth things over with Dorit. Dorit has nothing to say about her part in the situation.
After they watched the pilot, Dorit has to bring up her sisters. She hopes that they will like the show. But she got emotional about the question.
Last December, Kyle’s new house was robbed and all of those purses we saw in her closet, and her jewelry and family heirlooms were stolen. Nothing has been recovered.
Swimsuit named for Erika was featured in Sports Illustrated and the LVP suit sold out in days,
Teddi bought a new house down the street from her old house and got it for $2million under ask.
And that ends another season of RHOBH. I really enjoyed all the trips this season. However, I really, truly do not want Dorit on the show next season.
I’m so happy for Camille. I’d love to see her back full time. I love Kyle’s house. It is gorgeous. Being robbed is an awful thing to go through and you never get over it. Dorit seems to have pissed off the editor of the magazine so she can back off of LVP. Loved Lisa’s “ off with their heads” explanation. Harry’s hair stylist was Jonathan Antin. One of my first reality shows I loved. I think it was called Blow Out. I used to use his hair products years ago. The last I heard he had moved to Hawaii to spend more time with his wife and children. He was such a player back in the day. His sister is Robin Antin creator of the Pussycat Dolls. Can you tell I loved his show.
dirt by jonathan – luved his hair products and his show was a guilty pleasure
Didnt people rush to buy Dirt by Jonathan Antin because everyone wants to put dirt in their hair and that water filter like no one else on earth made one already. I am glad he’s gone.
Well, you seem to have Very strong feelings about a hair dresser. Personally I don’t get it but whatever. Dirt is actually a texturizer that’s still really popular and when it was sold at Sephora had great reviews. It’s still around; I’ve see it on Amazon and it still receives five stars over ten years later. Not too shabby.
I still use DIRT. It’s a great product. And no, it’s nothing like putting dirt in your hair, but it works on my short, fine, straight hair, like nothing else does.
I am thinking from a marketing point of view. I have a bottle of Coco by Chanel which sounded so pretty but it’s not pretty to me. The name must have gotten to me. Dirt by Johnathan Anton doesn’t strike the same nerve even if it’s great
I too have short, fine, straight hair–gonna go get me some of that Dirt!
I still use mi Dirt as well, and it smells amazing!!!
I’m glad he’s gone, too. The BS he spread about sulfates was laughable. There’s nothing wrong with sudsing up. Unless you’re allergic, obviously. Water fades hair color. You can’t avoid it. End of story; class dismissed.
This may be the dumbest thing I’ve read on the Internet today. This includes the Southern Charm comments where people actually believe Thomas and Ashley were in the bathroom examining her menses.
As a hairstylist he cracked me up. He was over the top emotional all the time. He does have some mad shear skills though and I respect that. He thought he was being innovative by using mechanics tool cheats as stations in his new salon, we had them a few years prior because they are perfect for us to use. Salon furniture manufacturers should take notice of that.
What are “mechanic’s tool cheats”?
I think she meant tool chests.
My first reality show, too! Besides The Real World, I guess. Fun show!
I’m not a fan of Lisa Rinna, but I really like her hair in the first picture. In another photo I’ve seen on Twitter she looks like Shania Twain.
I was thinking that hair would look fabulous on our Countess LuAnn. I don’t think it fits Lisa’s face shape that well.
Agree
I agree. I thought it was some kind of joke or maybe they’d just put it in rollers and they were going to brush it out but NOW I’m thinking it’s a wig. Uh, uh, not good and she almost always looks great. She has great style.
When I first saw her hair in that picture, I thought it was one of those online things where you upload your photo with your hair all pulled back, and then you superimpose a hairstyle on top of it–the hair doesn’t look like it fits on her head quite right.
I thought the same thing about her hair looking like something you upload photo thing.
Oh God, no! I hated the alternate hair styles she had this year, especially the slicked back look from many of her talking heads. She should stick with her classic – it is classic for a reason.
Yes, hate that look
Patiently waiting on the tea you are holding onto regarding Kenya…lol. Please spill!
Me, too! Welcome back, TT. We missed you.
Me, too! Welcome back, TT. We missed you.
I’m confused. If the editors are trying to force Dorit on us, why are they giving her such a bad edit?
She is so self absorbed its pro hard to get anything but what it is. No good footage to show! And she’s so awkward with her children!!
I think the same thing, probably impossible short of getting rid of her for her to get a good edit!
Teddi wrote in her recent blog that her husband installed the alarm system after the robbery. I really like Teddi and hopes she comes back next year. Dorit can kick rocks
Thanks for doing a recap TT. If Jonathan Antin comes to cut your hair and compliment you in your backyard, your pretty A list, lol.
Dorit leaving would be great. Bring in a friend of Teddi’s, or Camille, or a new neighbor of Kyle’s.
Time to do something, finale was dull, and the reunion’s haven’t been hitting it out of the park, at all.
Bring back Camille. We know you’re reading this ANDY! Bring her back!
She’s engaged. Bravo can do another wedding show!
Was that a smirk on LVPs face when Kyle talked about her sisters, or just edited to look that way?
Honestly, I was confused about what upset Kyle. Until she explained it all I was totally in the dark so I can understand why Erika didn’t jump right into the frey.
I thought it was shady for the producers to put in the security system talk between Edwin & Mauricio and then the blurb about Kyle’s house being burglarized which led people to believe that someone had gotten through Edwin’s shoddy security system.
I can’t stand Dorit but if it weren’t for her petty BS and pot stirring this season we would have been left watching them sip tea.
I’m glad this season is over, well except for the reunion where we’ll rehash the stuff that we’ve already heard too much about.
I agree about Edwin/ Mauricio conversation. Do they really have to make everyone’s life difficult?? He seems like such a nice guy. Leave him alone.
Exactly! It’s hard to blame the security system when you didn’t turn it on!!
All 5 dogs boarded; live-in maid off duty and not in the house; family on a vacation in Croatia; work men in and out all day…..these are reasons to put your jewelry in a bank safe deposit box and put a lock on the closet door as well as activating the security system and putting the workmen on hold.
I am so over Dorit and her fake self, please follow your fat little man back to England. I really liked this season with the exception of the Dorit and LVP drama. I do actually feel badly for Kyle in how she is treated by both LVP and Dorit. Kyle has never been my favorite but I can appreciate how she has raised her girls and her successful marriage and how hard she works, I do feel Lisa takes her for granted. Rinna has been great this year and I adore she and her husband together. Erika is my spirit animal, I want to be her when I grow up, no matter that I am slightly older than she is. Teddi made me nuts, I do really enjoy how she doesn’t put in airs and all but she can be a bit much at times. Sometimes things aren’t always black and white, sometimes there is a gray area and that is where she loses me. Ditch Dorit and bring back Camille full time.
Wow, no disrespect but I was surprised about your comment, “Sometimes things aren’t always black and white, sometimes there is a gray area and that is where she loses me” in regard to Teddi. I can see that tendency in several of the other women but not for Teddi, in particular I see it in Dorit, who tends to view the world through a self-centered, black and white prism. Dorit’s lack of self-insight and accountability is quite astonishing at times. She’s so full of herself, I wonder, does she read the blogs and realize how many, many people truly dislike her?? Regarding Teddi, I could see that some people might not respond to her as she’s more on the emotional side but that’s precisely why I like her. I find her relatable, certainly more than many of the other women, especially Erika. I also admire her for pushing herself to be direct and stand up for herself even when she’s uncomfortable (not my forte!). I agree with you to bring back Camille! Let’s start a petition! She deserves a great year-to get married and become full time again. Yeah!
I agree with therealdeb that Teddi doesn’t seem to understand the gray area of things. It is simply this is wrong this is right. You are the good guy or the bad guy when she accesses a situation. I find it best to try to understand both sides. Its the only way to move forward. I could never figure out a way to express how Teddi would irk me if I was around her but this is a great way of explaining it.
I also agree with sliceo’pie Dorit doesn’t see things in black and white she only sees dorit and i don’t need to see any of dorit. I am also always pro camille. She has the best wardrobe and had never worn anything unflattering. She is also intelligent and brings a higher class of cat fighting.
lol. As a member of the Commonwealth,
No, we won’t take Dorit. She’s all yours, America.
After posting my above post I clicked on an ad for Venus swimsuits. Did Dorit steal some of their designs or did they steal her’s?
There are a couple of swimwear companies who design swimsuits for everyone.
This has to be the most boring season of the franchise’s 8. The entire season was about hurt feelings, promoting the wives products, shows, charities, kids modeling careers, etc. Everybody whines about Dorit being a busybody well can you imagine how even more boring the season would have been without her? This season is what you get when you get rid of the pot-stirrers and crazies….BORING. I’m sure some viewers like that, but it isn’t what I tune into a Housewives show to see. I hope Andy makes some serious changes in the cast because I wont be supporting another season like this past one. I was surprised to see next week is part 1 of the reunion. Hell, the way this season went, the reunion could have been covered in a #WWHL 1/2 hour special.
I agree 100%, Mike, in fact I often have trouble finding anything I really want to comment on because it’s the same stuff, over and over. Dorit definitely brings the only “excitement”, even though most of it is because many of us react so negatively to her, but I thought her runway show was fabulous. Not swimsuits the average woman could wear, but very attractive for those lucky enough to have rocking bods. She’s either a good designer, or she knows how to get a really good team together. Other than her – very boring season .
I thought the highlight of the season was that LVP got a n o t h e r new animal to add to her home zoo…and that’s about it.
Agree with you guys on this. It’s just been a long commercial for whatever each is promoting. The only fun moments on the season were a few of Rinna’s interviews. The parties are gone. Everyone is cautious about getting loosened up with alcohol on air. Ken and Lisa used to always be hanging out in her closet plus Lisa made me love her by her humor. That’s gone, too. The New York housewives are so much more fun. Dorinda isn’t afraid to host a party and get wasted wearing a bubble suit
Yep, this was a truly terrible season. Dorit makes a good villain because she gamely follows the script that production gives her. The drama is just so ridiculous. This is the first season when I preferred watching the new episodes on Wednesday or Thursday. I’d rather watch MAFS on my Tuesday nights – fresh, relatively real drama.
I don’t know if this season is quite what i’m looking for in the show but I can say I don’t want to watch grown ass women-let me amend that-WEALTHY/PRIVILEGED, GROWN ASS WOMEN fighting with each other. Been there and done that for ten seasons across approximately five cities. A few arguments between friends and misunderstandings are okay but NOT producer driven! I felt like a producer was in Dorit’s ear all the time. Instead, I want to see how Kyle will decorate her new house! I love her house. What handbags she’ll carry next season. I want her and Mauricio to rent a yacht and go to somewhere fab! I want the show to go to China and walk the wall or some place amazing I can not longer afford to go. I want to see amazing houses, great clothes, stores and style and live vicariously through them. Remember the first seasons of The Real Housewives? Before everything was fake and people stirred the pot to keep their place? The first two seasons of RRONY? They were fantastic! There were arguments but they were real and not this fake drama people seem to want every week. I don’t want to watch people going crazy. My own life is extraordinarily stressful, I’m going through a divorce and my ex is a narcissist who gaslights me so I don’t want to watch these people who are amazingly fortunate have petty screaming matches. Life is too short. I prefer to watch movies on my RoKu. Ok -I’ll hop off my soap box! I’m very opinionated today for some reason. I should do this more often, I kinda like it!
I agree! I love seeing all the glamorous clothes and jewelry and houses and fabulous vacations. I even enjoyed it when they listed the cost of things. I would say most people enjoy a little bit of drama on a show but you are right that when it’s clearly producer driven and anyone can see that the arguments are fake it’s just plain insulting to the viewers.
100% agree with you – painfully dull so it was., and then obnoxiously loud thanks to camera hog Dorit
I imagine the cut of Mo and Edwin re the security system was to foreshadow the burglary, but it is a shame that people all over the internet are blaming Edwin for the loss.
Love Kyle’s house, but Faye is a horrible designer and the fact that Kyle keeps hiring her is more evidence of Kyle’s total lack of style (her clothes as well). They are destroying an elegant old house with crappy furniture, tacky Chanel blankets, and an iron railing instead of the beautiful old wood one that belongs in that house. I know they are friends but find it very annoying that Kyle brings that woman on the show. That friendship does not put Kyle in a good light.
Dorit is so painful to watch. Her behavior is awful. Her gaslighting is worse. I hope we are done with her.
I think that Kyle has just had enough of Dorit’s nastiness and her “friends” unwillingness to support her when Dorit plays her stupid mean games. It has been building up over the last two seasons and Kyle’s had enough.
I wish Andy had the balls to actually hold Dorit’s feet to the fire and show all of her lies and bad behavior at the reunion.
With you on the house bit. It would be painful to watch them ruin it.
I thought the same exact thing about Kyle’s house too. Too many tacky Chanel items too. Gorgeous home but the décor was so blah. Did anyone else notice when Kyle was bragging, well more like advertising that Faye did the interior designs and showed the pics with the caption “Faye Resnick Designs”? Who on earth would want Faye to decorate their own home? Thill, you’re right. Definitely bad for Kyle’s image to be seen with Faye. I also thought Faye has not aged well.
Yes, Yes!! However, I going to be kind to Harry Hamlin as I believe he requires a wee bit more in the wrinkle department and few more gray hairs to look like ‘ol Carl.
I adore that movie and love that character.
I’ll take Harry if Lisa ever decides she done. (Unlikely! That woman knows a good thang!)
I like that Kyle was willing to let her home be seen in the messy process of remodeling-seems like a couple of the other faker women would never have let their homes be seen less than “perfect on steroids”. I can’t wait to see that home once done, as amazing as it is in the “messy stage”.(btw, her messy would be my perfection on serious steroids!)
I’m now in the middle of 300 lbs of dogs blowing their coats-how they’re not completely naked I don’t understand!
Speaking of dogs, I love the ladies with big ol’ dogs-just makes them more likable and relatable to me. Tho, do LA dogs not shed? Guess that’s where staff or help would be so so handy! Each of mine could use a personal attendant! I Could maybe have company over then!
I feel your pain Ralee!! We have 3 dogs shedding up a storm! Ugh!
The season felt low key and has left me with mixed feelings. I still want Camille full time. Is that too much to ask?
Okay. is it just me or is Dorit acts if she wants Kyle’s life? I think Dorit does the most to get in the middle of Kyle’s friendships and act all innocent as Kyle’ ruined her life when Kyle’s reacts to Dorit’s actions. I need Kyle to stay away for Dorit.
On a side note, I can’t get behind Lisa R.’s children being models. They looks do not do it for me. I am sorry, but their looks do not scream models.
They’re young pretty girls with famous parents. It’s all the rage. WIth the standards of models today, I could have been one if I had the right name.
I have watched every episode multiple times of every season and I still do not get but Kyle is so mad at Dorit. I cannot stand Dorit and she needs to go after this season. That must have been gut-wrenching for Kyle to see her beautiful closet and think how it was all taken from her. She was so secure in her old house and now I wonder if she can ever feel truly happy and safe and secure now in that house. Does anyone else remember reading that the housekeeper was in the house when it was robbed?
As much as I love RHOBH, I’m glad this season is over. I know I’m probably in the minority but I had enough of Erika and her behavior this season. Her fashion was hit or miss this season. I have a sister that is loaded and a lot like Erika, she has that same meanness about her so needless to say she doesn’t get along well with others. I have very little interaction with her because I don’t respond well to bullying and intimidation. I tend to give it as good as I get it, by the way Ericka is her favorite housewife. I hope they get rid of Dorit she’s to much. I hope next season is better. TT thanks so much for this site . My youngest sister had a massive stroke in January that left her with major memory loss and completely paralyzed on her right side, your site has been my saving grace whenever I need a distraction from worrying about my sister. Again thanks.
Sorry and hope things improve with your sister’s health.
Thank you. It’s very heart wrenching to see a loved one in this state. My sister doesn’t recognize any of our family members or anyone else she previously knew. Thanks for your kind words.
this was a boring season. everyone having lunch to discuss the aftermath of who hurt whom, feelings getting hurt, rehashing stuff that happened mos ago! for me, a new cast is needed….. enough of erika’s moods and fake everything, and dorit. like to see more camille!
I wouldn’t mind Dorit and Erika being gone.
Me either!!!!!!
Co-sign!!
Rhobh whole season
Rinna & her family = boring
Kyle crying about nothing = boring
Teddy accountability = boring
Erika glamsquad = boring
Lisa Vanderpump = Only reason I watch that boring show?
Did I forget someone…??
#Pumprules is 1M times better?
Yes! LVP’s gorgeous lunch at her home!! She knows how to make a home feel magical and how to add pizazz to entertaining. The roses everywhere, and oversized glasses full of seafood, beautiful table-scape.
Lol, felt so silly. I could not understand a lot of the comments and had no idea why.
I just checked, and I didn’t watch the last twenty minutes.
Whew, I was getting a bit worried about my
memory, lol.
Geez, kinda scary there for a few minutes.!! ?
I’ve typically been one of Kyle’s supporters / defenders in the past, but I’ve found her annoying this season. Maybe she’s trying to do too much with all her shows and moving, as she seems to be in a constant state of panic and a bit highly strung. She’s also started talking very fast. It’s not fun to watch.
I would like to see this franchise parked for a year or two, after which it could return with a big bang and renewed interest (much like Melbourne did). Cast changes would definitely be needed to make it watchable again, because the current line-up is a snooze. I’d start with firing Erika, Dorit, Rinna and Tedddi. I just don’t like Erika and Dorit; I do like Rinna but she isn’t all that interesting; Teddi annoys me – she’s just not a good fit for this show.
Ya think someone’s been hitting the Adderall?
I love Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin together the same way I love Kyle and Mauricio ♡ they all seem so happy together, it’s great to see.
The ending made me sad when they mentioned Kyle being robbed. I can’t imagine how devastating that must be for her.
Dorit needs to go. She adds nothing. Erika I am surprisingly over too. I love Teddi I hope she stays.
What most gets me is when Dorit has stirred some pot, but one of the others apologizes to her–and instead of her apologizing back, since she has done something worse, she doesn’t apologize at all and instead haughtily decides whether to accept the other person’s apology. She is so self-centered!
Dorit killed this season and needs to be gone. Last season I did like some of her glam and fashion but this season she didn’t even bring that.
I like Kyle and would have preferred to see her family vacation to Croatia, more of her beautiful new home(sad it was burglarized) and business ventures(all things this show was about seasons 1-3 which made it awesome). She needs to give up on Dorit completely and just accept her “friendship” with LVP for what it is.
Speaking of LVP she didn’t really bring anything to the show this season except and endless promotion. It’d be nice to see one of her real girlfriends on the show with her. I think that she and Ericka Jayne would be more real with a real girlfriend of theirs on the show but I’m sure either one of them have any.
Love Teddi, she seems genuine, I like her friendship with Kyle and I would like to see more of her with her family and they should bring on one of her friends next season.
Rinna completely checked out this season and I don’t think that was a smart move on her part but when she was filmed, I enjoyed her with her family.
Hope Camille’s back full time next season
kyle is soo emotional probably because she’s on the outs with her family. they will not appreciate her show and the women seemed underwhelmed. rinna was right when she said kyle goes in and out re family so other stuff becomes more important. this really has been a ridiculously boring season!!! tired of teddi and her accountability, too. needs cast refreshing!
Great job pulling it together and cranking out these recaps, TT! I’m impressed, and, more importantly, I hope you’re feeling better.
Dear Bravo producers – please fire Dorit! She’s unpleasant. A pot-stirrer, but not in an entertaining way. I hate how she antagonizes Kyle. If anyone drives Kyle away, I’ll be PISSED. I know that some folks here don’t like LVP, but I do. However, I don’t understand why so many of her “close,” inner-circle friends to whom she says she’s so loyal, are such a bunch of shady, grifter-ish types. E.g. James Kennedy’s shady parents who allegedly ripped off George Michael, Mohammed Hadid, who allegedly does all kinds of unethical things in his real-estate development business, and PK who doesn’t pay his bills and instead goes bankrupt. Allegedly.
Anyway, I’d like to see all the BH girls return, except Dorit. I hope they keep Teddi, because the concept of an accountability coach on a RH show has so much potential, especially if she returns in her sophomore season with a bit more confidence, with her freshman-year hazing behind her. I could take Rinna or leave her, but I, too, love her scenes with her husband. I love their happy marriage and pretty house.
I hope that ridiculously fortunate women aren’t really that petty and boring. Aside from looking at what they
are wearing, or how they’ve done their hair, what comes out of their mouths is so petty and self-involved.
Also, after viewing Dorit’s “fashion” show my only question is: Why would I want a swim suit that cuts me
in half? That has to be THE most uncomfortable outfit ever worn. Do real women ever wear anything like that? Does anyone in fly-over land think that looks good?
Did anyone notice that Teddie wasn’t given a front row seat and had to sit in the second row at the fashion show ?
I know you don’t think Brandi’s coming back TT, but I’d bet an ovary that she is. She’s been making amends left and right. Also, I listened to her podcast today and she dropped an interesting little nugget. She was talking about how she doesn’t have health insurance but, starting in July, she will. Coinkydink? Isn’t that about when RHOBH starts filming?
Please, oh please, NO!!
I know she’s messy but I like her. I was in her shoes 10 yrs. ago and did my fair share of acting out too. I feel like she’s absolutely redeemable. She just needs someone on her team.
I will never understand why a bunch of grown ass women throw such temper tantrums over whether or not someone stuck up for them or not. It happens with every franchise. I get being angry if someone spoke out against their friend but fight your own damn battles ladies.
I loved this season! The ladies all looked good, and I love Teddi. I hope she comes back next season too.
Regarding Teddi’s husband installing the security system in Kyle’s new house, Teddi states in her blog that he did indeed install a system BUT it was AFTER the robbery.
