I could not be more excited for this RHOBH recap! No LVP! No Camille! A chateau in Provence! This is supposed to be what this show is about. Fancy rich people doing fancy rich people things! Travel! And probably a cat fight or two. Perfect.
The gals arrive with eleventy billion suitcases so the need two vans for five travelers. Even so, it was still tight quarters. Are the moving there or just there for a visit? Oh my, the chateau is unbelievably gorgeous. And the staff is all lined up outside to greet them. It is very Downton Abbey. I miss that show.
I can’t tear my eyes away from the TV to type. This place is like a fairytale. The staff is cooking up all manner of delicious delicacies. There’s soup, lobster ravioli and all kinds of fancy sauces. The ladies all glammed up for dinner. I thought this was going going to be a lowkey affair. But that chateau does seem to require high-end elegant looks. Kyle calls Denise to check on the news about the fires. Denise had no news about her house at that time. Camille says her house is okay. Sadly, it was not.
Dinner Is Served
After bizarre stories about their misspent youth and some few strong drinks the ladies are called to dinner. And the scripted conversations begin. Clearly, Rinna has been told to bring up the Halloween party. Which she does before for the first course even arrives. These ladies have some pretty bad table manners. I cringed when Kyle bang on that wine glass that probably costs more than my house with a knife. That should never happen. Erika says the drinks are very strong. She’s only on her second one and she’s wasted.

Why are there so many flashbacks on this episode? I need all the Provence I can get! Stop with all the flashback scenes! The next morning the ladies find out that Camille’s house is gone. We are even flashing back to scenes from less than five minutes ago.
The next morning Erika Jayne is hungover. Dorit is too. The breakfast conversation is about the fires. Everyone feels terrible about the whole situation. Eventually, they pull themselves together and head to the L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue Sunday Market . They still have two vans. Perhaps that is for the production crew as well.
Can’t We Just Enjoy a Croque Monsieur?
At the market, Kyle haggles over hats while Erika tempts Rinna to sample some cheeses. You would not have to twist my are to participate in either of these activities. OMG, Erika just ordered a croque monsieur and I may just cry tears of jealousy. I’ve been craving one for a week now. OMG They gave us a close up! It’s food porn. I have gained ten pounds just looking at that slice of heaven.

Once again Rinna has the script. Her daughter, Amelia, has decided to study nutrition and wellness in college. I’m not sure that is the sign of recovery that Rinna seems to think it is. It seems like a more formalized obsession with food. Kyle shares that when she was a child actress she had a bout with anorexia herself. Is this really what we are going to talk about when there is croque monsieur on the table? Houses on fire and anorexia? Sigh. Erika says she’s at the highest weight of her life. Erika has also mentioned twice in this episode how much she likes the group of five on this trip. She says it feels safe to talk in this group where they don’t have to fear having things they say used against them, It’s a safe place to share without LVP there.
Sur le pont d’Avignon L’on y danse tout en rond…
When I was in high school I heard about a French class in Avignon and dreamed about taking it. Sadly, my mother didn’t see the point. The ladies are there walking around the town and it looks just like I imagined. I don’t really remember the song anymore though. I’m mesmerized by these scenes. I need a whole season of this.
Later back at the chateau the bartender with the heavy pout is back on the job. Rinna and Erika get drunk waiting on the other there to come downstairs. This should be interesting. Everyone looks fabulous. Lisa Rinna’s thigh high snakeskin boots are EVER.Y.THANG.
Stop Acting Like You Are In Texas!
I love that Erika Jayne immediately apologized in advance to the staff as they entered the stunning restaurant, Moulin a Huile. Of course, the women are missing the whole point of the restaurant by ordering margaritas and burgers. This is why I can’t travel with people. I would be so embarrassed by this. And no one has spoken a single word of French on the trip. Nary a “merci” has been uttered.
At least we are going to talk about the beautiful scenery and how great France is now. Right? Nope. We are going to rehash Rinna’s Erika Jayne impersonation. Rather, Teddi is going to randomly have a problem with it. Teddi doesn’t know a thing about the situation with Rinna and Kim. She wasn’t around when Kim was on the show.
Why butt into disagreements when you have no dog in the fight? Dorit’s theory is that Teddi is Kyle’s “hench woman.” I’ve never understood why so many of you can’t stand Teddi. I like her. But I am starting to see why you might feel that way.

Erika is getting irritated with Kyle and Teddi about doing my least favorite thing,”Being offended on behalf of someone else.” This was the most ridiculous argument ever.
Next week, Teddi and Kyle think that it would be fun to do imitations of each other. Didn’t we spoil one great scene with this stupidity already? Is it going to be Kyle and Teddi stirring the pot with Rinna and Erika Jayne for the entire trip? This is why we can’t have nice things.
I was so disappointed with this episode. I wanted more, more, more of a stunningly beautiful location I’ll likely never see but instead got one of the most stupid, tired, scripted arguements we’ve seen. This group isn’t gelling and there isn’t one authentic friendship. This used to be my fave Housewives show. Not anymore.
What happened to this once fav franchise!! Worst ever ….thx Kyle and Teddi!!
They all planned on being on the same team against Camille and now that’s she’s not there they had to go with productions backup fight plan.
So now Kyle will use Teddy as her proxy/puppet like LVP used Brandi. Awesome/s ?
But she doesn’t do anyone’s dirty work.
It always seems to me that Teddi is trying to “understand” things that really aren’t her business. It funny that so many viewers don’t understand that Erika Jayne is a persona, a character if you will that Erika giradi plays. So Rinna dressing up as Erika Jayne and behaving like she did didn’t upset her because she isn’t really Erika Jayne. I get what she means and so many confuse the 2, that annoys me. I remember seeing an interview with Allison Sweeney who played a character on days of our lives and she had little old ladies tell her off and be nasty to her because they confused with the person she played on tv. Anyways, Teddi and Kyle were annoying about that, really annoying. I feel badly that Camille lost her home, I really do, fire is so terrible and it can be crazy fast. Still kind of disgusted by some of her behavior but I do really feel for all she lost. I wish Denise had been able to go on the trip, she would have been a hoot. France is beautiful, all that history and beauty, I would be ever so happy.
Good grief you really cut Rinna some slack. Why do you always say it is scripted with her. Why can’t she own it lol. She is just aggressive
You thought Rinna was aggressive on this episode? Did you see some alternative universe version of the episode?
Rinna is a soap actress, she is on that show because she can follow orders and deliver drama if she wants. She never comes off as aggressive to me it always just seems like acting. (First comment for me thank you for getting me through the day with your amazing posts!)
I was surprised that Camille went back to get her Andrew Wyeth painting although I wonder if it was valued at 20-30 million and where she got it. I guess I’m interested in her mentioning it. I would have asked follow up questions if I was in the room.
Yikes rare art On the biggest side people including first responders with innocent families and true victims to rescue should not go into danger to save anything non matter the cost unless it’s your own children, so it’s a shame a lot of nice things were destroyed including rare art but you can’t risk your life and require potential assistance so you don’t die putting fire fighters, etc in danger to save you when you were told to leave as fast as possible or potentially not to return home from wherever you left and went that day.
I wish Denise could have gone on the trip. Tonight was the first time Teddi was irritating to me – leave Rinna alone woman! If Erica had no problem with it, then no one else should. Dorit was right, Kyle is vanderpumping Teddi to do her dirty work bc Kyle seems generally scared of confrontation and dang it, I don’t like it when Dorit is right! I am loving the show without LVP. Erica was spot on with her comment of it feeling like a safe space. If LVP had been there, it would have gone to the confessional with LVP making some horrible fat joke about the women. The whole obvious scripted thing is getting old. I think the reason that NYC is my fave housewives is because it feels like those women would be crazy or arguing like that even if a camera wasn’t there. Just feels natural with that crew. But I still have hope for BH! One day I am going to save enough money to do an eating tour of France and Italy…..
Dorit isn’t right, Teddi has butted into almost all of the disagreements since she has been on. She doesn’t get the concept that sometimes it’s none of her concern. Kyle is nowhere near as devious as LVP.
That did not feel like a safe space at all. These ladies can’t go a lunch and a dinner without getting into an unnecessary fight. Erika just seemed like she was in a grumpy mood the whole time, like her “friends” were just so annoying and she couldn’t be bothered with them.
Her friends were so annoying she could not be bothered by them. They were all acting like people that had never been out of the country. They were embarrassing and loud and trying to drag her into a storyline she wanted no part of.
Also, Erika was drunk/buzzed/hungover whatever. What a buzz kill convo. I would have looked the same way she did at the dinner. They really needed Taylor to show up and yell ENOUGH!
More chateau. I’d love to move in for a spell.
I like Teddi. I know some don’t. I don’t think that her interference is is meant in an intrusive manner. I think she’s serious about her role as a life coach, and has a difficult time taking off her life coach hat when dissension occurs in the group. Also, I think she is loyal to her friends and wants to defend when sometimes they just don’t need her help.
I would’ve been so annoyed if I was at that dinner. I was annoyed just watching it. Way to ruin a beautiful evening. Tonight was the first time Teddi has gotten on my nerves. Kyle could have been justified in being upset by Rinna but, I agree trying to drag Erika into it and making it about her feelings was ridiculous.
Oh and Dorit’s French accent was appalling.
I actually did like Teddi for about five minutes of her first season. She seems one of those types who pick at everything you say and do and can never be happy for you … she’ll always find a reason to rain on your parade. Meanwhile she thinks she is perfect and is and knows better than anyone – which is why she makes it her business to stick her nose in everything. Teddi is just not a good fit for this show. Talking of which (great fit), where is Sharon, for goodness’ sake? As every week passes my hopes of seeing her fabulous life diminish.
Le Sigh … agacé
I, for some reason, thought the croque monsieur had the egg on it. I can no longer eat egg and so have been quietly sad whenever you talked about eating in a French cafe. I’m now jonesing for Erika’s plate at that cafe and a big ol’ glass of local French red wine (fuck the rose… go for the serious shit! You ask what the owner recommends – if you are lucky, you get a “my brother in law is a wine maker” story and some VERY local stuff!) Oh, as for their nighttime choices, totes agree. FYI peeps, if done right? Escargot is delish!
Ironically, part of my incentive to join WW was so that I could be more physically able to travel to places like Avignon. Apparently I want to get skinnier so I can travel to eat.
” Apparently I want to get skinnier so I can travel to eat.” Don’t we all, girlfriend. Don’t we all. It’s croque Madame that has the fried egg. I’m sure it is fantastic too, but I have a thing about eggs.
I have a quarter million FF miles, for real. So I fly first or not at all. But getting bumped to cattle would make for a very uncomfortable trip to my fat ass.
I just realized I’ve been ignoring my air miles and looked.. I’m coming up right behind you!!!! I definitely have enough to fly first class British Air at least. Thank you Alaska Airlines!
Two years ago I flew from Seattle to DC first class and back. I’m officially a snob now, just for the room alone. In first, I can sit at a window and still get up to go to the bathroom. It was such a comfortable 6 hours. Plus the free booze. (Alaska Air’s wine selection isn’t half bad. But what do I know – I drink wine out of a box)
My thing about eggs, FYI, is that I wish that I could still eat them. I don’t crave sweets at all. But damn, I miss eggs and they are a “zero point food” on WW.
What’s wrong with eggs? If I couldn’t eat eggs, I’d die. I’m an egg slut
I have an egg intolerance – I like them, they HATE me. I get violently ill. I define the word wretched and retch (the verb) in one go if I eat pure egg.
I liked eggs too, until I went full vegan a few years back. Extra firm tofu pressed, seasoned in black salt, and fried up in butter is a good replacement. Just Egg sells a replacement for scrambled eggs made out of mung bean which is decent if properly seasoned. Sadly I haven’t yet found a good replacement for an over easy egg. I’ve even made deviled potatoes 🙂
I eat eggs every single day and if I didn’t eat them my life would be meaningless. I could eat them several times a day. They are my favorite food.
Me too, every day… They are my favorite food. We have chickens, fresh eggs are the very, very best!
TT, go on either Britain Airways or Virgin Atlantic for first and business. Air France was horrible and I wouldn’t recommend it.
I would say BA is better than Virgin.
Yes BA is better but Air France sucks. If it’s between AF or VA, I would pick VA everytime.
If I ever get to use my miles It will be Air France for me. That is where I have my miles and Air France is just fine as long as I am in first.
As much as Rinna likes to brag that she “owns it,” she really doesn’t. She used the Erika Jayne persona to say something way harsher than it needed to be.
And about her daughter’s eating disorder, last week she wondered if she could have done something differently–as if she couldn’t possibly think of what she could have done differently and as if she expected others to reassure her she didn’t do anything wrong. How about you (the mom) stop posting bikini pictures and videos every week???? That would probably help your teenage daughter who is struggling with this issue. Instead Rinna posts all these look-how-skinny-I-am videos as if that is the measure that women are supposed to be judged by. No wonder her daughter has trouble. Even Harry Hamlin said last week that Rinna contributed to the problem.
I found it odd that no one ate Harry Hamlin’s bbq last week. Rinna ate a kernel or two of her corn on the cob but gave her plate to Harry after a few bites. No wonder her kids barely eat—weight is a family obsession.
Spot on! Lisa’s daughters preoccupation with their weight has to be a direct result of seeing that Lisa eats virtually nothing. As far as anorexia being genetic…..hard to believe. It is probably more environment in this case.
It’s NOT genetic. That was stupid of her to say that. She has made it so that her daughters feel that as long as they are skinny, they’ll be famous. Her daughters are vapid; there’s nothing there.
It was discovered in 2017 to have genetic susceptibilities in a genomic study. It was proven to have a genetic connection on chromosome 1. It is also influenced by psychosocial factors.
Well and she sort of sat there passing looks with the girls as if to say oh your dad is so annoying instead of backing him up or actually being a parent. In general doesn’t she seem really fake and put – on around her own children sometimes? For someone who has dealt with so much trauma and dysfunction (Mother’s assault and over protectiveness, sister’s death of a drug overdose, her own control issues (hygiene and eating)) she is so NOT introspective about herself or others, other than continually braying about “owning it.” Maybe she’s just dumb. Lord knows her progeny seem to be.
Any episode with Dorit in it is not an enjoyable episode.
I don’t how how it’s possible but I really friggin’ enjoy Dorit this season as long as PK isn’t in the scene. She’s still fake as fuck but she’s been very pleasant and quite clever.
When I started to write my comment about this episode, my iPhone suggested the phrases Kyle Richards and Anorexia Nervosa. No lie.
I really hope they shake the cast up a bit for next season because this ain’t it. Teddi needs to go, or at the very least be demoted to Kyle’s friend. And I really don’t want to hear about Kyle’s 100s of issues all of the time. I also suffer from anxiety, and sympathize with where she’s coming from, but there’s always something with her lately that brings the episode down.
” I also suffer from anxiety, and sympathize with where she’s coming from, but there’s always something with her lately that brings the episode down.”
EXACTLY. As someone who has been up all night with anxiety attacks, I really hate when someone Dares to disrupt my reality TV by showing even a fraction of what it is like on TV. The last thing I want to see is someone powering through it. I am glad you showed up to shame the fuck out of her!
I mean at least she isn’t in my comment section bringing the comments down.
Oh and I almost forgot the part where you shamed her for telling her anorexia story. You are a fucking ray of sunshine. So lovely to hear from you.
I didn’t shame her, I stated that my iPhone suggested for me to comment that, I can email you the screen shot if you want. I wouldn’t shame anyone about that.
I hope your anxiety gets better.
You must really have a special iPhone! It suggests multiple, entire phrases to type in comment boxes on reality blogs? This must be a new feature in the latest IOS version that I keep refusing to install. /s
I understand Kyle completely because I have a huge problem with letting things go and moving on. A problem that drives me anxious quite often. Rinna gets on my last nerve and so does Dorit. Interesting watching Erika’s face during the entire table episode.
Had a delicious croque Madame a couple of weeks ago. LOVE!!!!!!
The episode was a bit disappointing, but Provence is the best real housewives destination they have had, it looks beautiful.
It’s a shame we didn’t see more of Provence in this episode. While the chateau was fantastic, the country side and the towns were just a footnote.
Those hags don’t deserve that chateau. Their language and manners were appalling. When Erica butchered monsieur, I cringed. And Dorit’s accent is just as bad as her abnormal speaking tone. I need that chateau in my life for about two weeks. Sadly, I would have to win the bazillion $ lottery to make that happen. Le sigh. The French women I know are effortlessly chic. They do not wear earrings that spell CHA NEL. These women try too hard to compete against each other. Sorry hags, either you have it or you don’t. Without your stylists, you really don’t. Not in France. Can you tell how pissed off I am about these bitches, who have absolutely no appreciation for their surroundings, being lucky enough to be gifted with that trip? Ugh!
So true, Navymommy … French chic is subtle … a designer scarf or luxury shirt cuffs peeking out from a jacket. Not full-on billboard displays like these women love to portray.
French women buy a few pieces of really good clothing and change it up with accessories.
That is so true, you need basic good quality outfits (slacks, sport shirts, soft silk blouses, great quality cardigan, pencil skirt and camel coat – the entire look can constantly change with clever accessorizing (you have to know the limit – less is more in my book). The ladies of Beverly hills=too much makeup and too much jewelry. I am sure the jewelry is rather expensive, but when you overdo It, it can look cheep,
Kyle is a perfect example of too much jewelry and so is LVP. Surprisingly enough I like the way Erika dresses. She is tastefully outlandish in my opinion, Lisa Rina needs to add few pounds to her frame. Camille always looks elegant and Denise is just a train rack.I do like her personality.
You do not need to be rich to visit Provence, There are all sorts of inexpensive deals regarding European trips. You can stay in an inexpensive hotel and just have cheese sandwiches for food, Even a reasonably good quality wine does not have to cost too much,
I liked this last episode. I just don’t know why they need to go to France to have a royal fight with each other, They can do that in Rina’s backyard and save Bravo a lot of money, The effect would be the same,
Aranka, but you do have to be a rich bitch to afford that particular chateau for two weeks. I want that chateau! I have been to Paris and Strasbourg but not Provence. It looks beautifully bucolic and peaceful.
I also love how Erica carries off that Moschino suit in her talking heads. I also loved the red latex, BettyPaige look she rocked. I also compare Erica’s Tokyo looks to Marlo’s and Marlo is a ratchet, ghetto mess. Always.
Agree Navymommy. What a beautiful place Provence is. At least Ericka tried to have some class. She ate her words later on “safe place and not being judged.” LOL. If you don’t agree with the Hags they go in on you. I was hoping to get through ONE episode without Kyle crying. She has to lay it on thick since she knows she will be in the doghouse calling LVP a liar. Sorry, don’t believe the ED in the past and fake mammo too IMO. Shame on her. You don’t drive a go cart with your little daughter in LA traffic if you have anxiety. She uses it as a form of manipulation and attention seeking. Why Kim made fun of her, she’s got her number. Rinna couldn’t have been pleased with Kyle stealing her scene and would have liked to hear more on Amelia. Thank God Denise didn’t go with her filthy mouth and sex talk … getting old objectifying her poor husband. Teddi needs to go and glad her nonsense is becoming obvious. I saw it in the Bahamas. All the flashbacks are used because they got nothing, absolutely nothing interesting to film even being in a fabulous place. Southern Charm is using this a lot this season too.
And how about Teddi sitting on the couch with her shoes on the table?! I can hear my folks now “get your shoes off the table!” First time commenting. Love this site! Thanks TT!
OMG yes that “triggered” me seeing her feet on the table
That was so disrespectful and low class.
Who does that outside of your home??? And in France at a chateau you are a guest at!
Why does Teddi have to insert herself. I don’t know why Rinna needs to dress up as someone else to talk with Kim. But, then I never get Rinna at all.
Teddi inserts herself because this is the Housewives.
That’s what she and the others are paid to do.
Literally.
If everybody minded their own business and behaved as they would in real life, there would be no conflict. And without conflict, there would be no show.
This has been the formula since day one.
I’m continually surprised that veteran reality tv viewers aren’t aware that these shows wouldn’t exist if everyone behaved properly. Every show needs a villain and an instigator or no one would watch because it would be boring as fuck.
The veteran reality show watchers are tired of all the female shows being about women fighting. Every season the bitchfights have increased. Veteran reality show watchers remember that from day one of Real World episode one there was conflict. It doesn’t have to be manufactured.
What is boring to me is nothing but straight brawling.
I feel like I’m in the minority because I like it better when they get along. I am not a conflict person, though.
I feel the same way. However, any time there is a group of women working and traveling together, conflict will naturally arise. Genuine conflict is way more interesting that bullshit manufactured by a primarily male production team who don’t understand female conflict at all.
Who would you rather have stay at your luxury mansion, BH or N.Y.? No one was disgustingly drunk, screaming, trying to pee in the bathtub, etc. So, BH was loud and ate American food in France. So what.
I do think I’ve had enough of furry bunnies and dog gate as storyline though.
I like Erika G, well except when she was besties with Yolanda. She says her piece and that’s it. Teddi is getting annoyingly parental. Is it a control issue? A way to promote her accountability skills?
LOVE Provence and was hoping they would show more. The crazy thing about cast trips is that the Shahs of Sunset do it the best! As crazy as they are, they always show the most of the country they visit and manage to engage in cultural activities between their drunken fights. I never thought I would say that that Shahs of all people could teach these other cast something about travel, LOL
I enjoyed the episode a lot. No LVP and her lame British humor. I don’t dislike LVP, but over the years she has become a delusional bag full of hot air and lame, lame, lame. I vote to keep the cast as is and bring Camille back full time. Oh, I wouldn’t mind seeing Faye and Brandi G make an appearance as friends.
I would be down with Faye being part of the cast. I think that she would bring a lot of different angles and “reality” history if you know what I mean. She has been there, done that. I don’t want to see Brandi back on full time for the same reason I don’t want others back on different shows, her desperation may make for eventful tv but it is lame and inauthentic. She needs the show for the money so she puts on an even bigger Brandi show. She’s that girl at the bar that women side-eye and men try to use. I do however wish her and her boys a great life. As for Teddi, I love her dad so she got grandfathered into my heart. It will take something big to change that. She is a little bossy but I am too so I can’t say much about that. I like the girl and I find her to be adorable. Those NY ladies are my favorites at the moment because it feels as real as it can be with them. I have thought before I would like Bethenny to visit Kyle on an episode. Can you imagine?!? Bethenny’s sharp tongue talking to those girls. ? Alright y’all, have a great day!
I agree. For me, Brandi in small doses only not full time.
Nope, NO.BRANDI!! I can see Fay and definitely Camille..
You can easily make make yourself a croque monsiuer. It’s literally just a grilled ham and cheese sandwich with optional bechamel sauce. Just get some good quality ham and some Gruyere or Emmenthaler cheese.
Great recap. I get Teddi is a life/ accountability coach but what I find alittle irritating is that she has clients that she helps and probably doesn’t interact with on a social / personal level. These women are her friends not her clients and in some way or another she is entwined in the group conflicts whether it effects her directly or indirectly. I’m not sure if Teddi can see both sides clearly when she is emotionally invested.
You read my mind. I was about to post something similar concerning Teddi, but you did such a wonderful job. Being around Teddi is like having your mother around 24/7 telling you not to slump, eat your greens etc. These are grown women and don’t need to be schooled by Teddi.
Imagine if Kathy Hilton becomes a HW. I’m all for it, but she is probably too rich to play for Bravo!
She won’t – that story was denied by Andy, and I’m pretty sure he’s asked her to come on before, but she declined.
A glimpse in Kathy’s life would be fabulous. I remember she featured quite heavily on Brooke Mueller’s reality show (Charlie Sheen’s ex-wife) as she tried to help Brooke in many ways. Her home is incredible and she seems quite likable … I almost want to say authentic!
She’s pretty storied in Hollywood. Kyle certainly has an interesting family! Andy did deny but a girl can hope.
Erica looked sleek and sophisticated, and comported herself like a real lady. In other news, Downton Abbey is COMING BACK! A full-length motion picture with the entire cast (or rather those who survived) is hitting theaters in September.
But, Dalai Mama, how did you feel about her talking head in that hat and outfit getup? I found it very bizarre. I mean like really off-putting.
I did like that she went very low key with her makeup this trip. Also loved that she threw in her Latina heritage. I can’t decide if she is cool or a cold fish. I haven’t clicked with her persona since she joined the show but I don’t dislike her. I just think that we don’t know much more about her than we did the day she joined.
She looked like a cartoon.
Cold fish – she tries to hard to be cool but just comes off cold.
Agreed.
I thought Erika’s talking-head outfit was stunning. Yes, it was cartoonish but very striking and very “Erika”
I love it too! That look was made for her! I can’t think of a more dramatic, amazing talking head look from any house wife ever.
Her make up this episode was very understated and she looked so damn beautiful in every scene.
one never knows when erika g is going to ‘go off’ and butally attack her castmates for glancing at her the wrong way. looks like she explodes next week!!! soo tired of rinna! she and kim have hugged it out and made up I don’t know how many times. rinna really threatened kim a few seasons back w/a broken wine glass and later threatening texts to her and another season saying she’s practically dead. she is really off the wall when it comes to kim! so phoney when she was ‘surprised’ to see kim at kyles party for her daughter. very strange vibe between rinna and harry. agree w/other posters that maybe she should stop posting bikinis of herself constantly. would love to see a cleansing of the cast — teddi, erika, dorit, rinna!!!!
Caps key must not work… at all.
I think this episode confirmed that Erika and Doritos glam squad totally screw with them and laugh their ass’s off every episode on how ridiculous they can push these two because both them looked so great this episiode.
?I love this comment! Those women never look better than when they do their own makeup!
This is what I want to see, RH taking fabulous trips doing fabulous things — sort of. NOT ordering hamburgers in a French restaurant in France, or BH. I am not coming at this from a snob angle, just HOW FUCKING BORING. I thought of Tamara when Erica ordered her Croque Monsieur. These “worldly” wenches didn’t know what it was. Spare me! They would probably be thrilled with the food by the female “chef” on BD Med. Richbitch Kyle haggling over the hat was disgusting; haggling is part of some cultures, not French. I kept thinking back to a recent TT post about berets being touristy and cracking. Dorit must have learned French where TRav did, The Pepe Le Pew Ecole Francaise (nod to Patricia Altschul). The Halloween night spat was obnoxious. So are Rinna’s daughters and any mention of them.
The real question is not why they ordered burgers but why they were sent to a restaurant with a burger on the menu. It wasn’t traditionally French by any means. The menu was short – not many choices – and it’s one of these places that’s actually trying to be American. There are many Michelin starred restaurants in the area they could have gone to but maybe it was hard to find a place that would allow the cameras. Anyway I enjoyed the episode other than the really tiresome BS from Kyle and Teddi. Teddi Needs to get over herself. She is such a try-hard and insecure, always desperate to show how clever thoughtful and principled she is. Give it a rest Teddibear.
I think this is very likely, it wouldn’t have been easy to find a nice restaurant in Provence that was willing to allow reality TV to film there
Dorit picking up her plate to sniff her food, omg.
I wanted to like this episode but good grief. Terri aligning with Kyle for a Donna takedown – didn’t see that coming. If rinna, Ericka and Kim are all ok why make drama about it now? And Teddi aligning with Kyle puts puppygate in a different light. I felt early on that the ladies decided to give Lisa her own medicine.
Dorit smelling the soup was awful. If she had waited until the staff left and just done it in front of the girls I could have let it slide.
I never wanted to travel to France. But as I get older it becomes something that I really want to do. However, the problem is, I would want to do it on the Umansky budget!
I love Teddi but I think she is inserting herself into everything. I am not sure if it is because she is trying to prove her worth? Or maybe she saw that she was too quiet last season? Or maybe it is a character flaw that she never noticed before? Sticking up for your friend is one thing, but this whole convo with Rinna is a waste of time.
Also, just hearing LVP at the beginning of the episode is so annoying. Just her voice and her little clips make me cringe. She can go now. Buh bye
I hope you get to take that trip. And one of the great things about being in France is that it really makes you feel like you’re in Europe. Just ask Dorit.
I thought Erica looked lovely at the restaurant, barely there make up and relaxed.. well until Kyle and Teddi kept telling her how she should feel about something that happened weeks before.
I am very fortunate to have a friend and Sis in law who lives in Provence – not far from where they are staying. The great thing I love about Provence is the way the countryside smells. It’s so delicious. It’s one of my favourite places. I would highly recommend a visit. It’s enchanting, ancient and unforgettable.
I’m getting really tired of this entire scripted, angry franchise. But I really did enjoy watching Erika Girardi for a change. I am as tired of Erika Jayne as I am of the rest of the shrews.
I am not an LVP fan. I stopped watching RHOBH like 5 episodes ago and didn’t watch last season. IT IS HORRIBLE. this show jumped the shark. They’ve RUINED IT.
They’re so fake and it’s so scripted.
Kyle used to be my fave — is the worst.
Dorit – she gets to somehow act fake rich and keep her troubles off the show????
What????
It’s a snoozefest.
I don’t think anyone watches this anymore.
