It’s been another weird day at Chez Tamara. I am looking forward to this RHOBH recap. However, it seems like it all falls apart this episode. Today was a day I just didn’t want to get up and put my big girl panties on. June is full of nasty deadlines and sometime this week I have to go get an emissions test on my car and go to the DMV. My DMV is rather pleasant, but lines are long and the closed the DMV for weeks recently to upgrade something or another. And so I am not looking forward to the experience.
So there was a lot of napping today. For me, going to work means sitting up an getting on my laptop. Instead, I dozed off and on watching Season one of RHOBH. Back in the first few seasons of RHOBH, I loved LVP. We were a few seasons in when I was OUTRAGED about how the other ladies ganged up on LVP. Rewatching season one with fresh eyes, it was clear the entire time. I don’t ever agree to interviews, but I would love to interview Cedric. Question one: Are you gay or bi? AHEM. Side note: I tape all the morning shows. I am watching The View while waiting for the show to start. Willie Nelson has the biggest ears I’ve ever seen. I can’t stop staring.
They’ll Always Be A Morning After…
On to the RHOBH recap! I don’t understand why Rinna’s Halloween costume and confrontation of Kim Richards is such a storyline unless this is a segue for Kim Richards coming back. I was violently against that until I sleep watched a marathon of RHOBH season one today. Shockingly, I think I might be ready for her return.

In Provence, Erika Jayne is hungover both from alcohol and Kyle and Teddi trying to make Erika be offended by Rinna’s portrayal of her in a Halloween costume. Look, Kyle is my favorite housewife EVER. I love her. But this produced storyline at Erika’s expense really pissing me off. I see it for what it is and I am disappointed that Kyle felt like she had to go along with it and drag Teddi in. Kyle is a people pleaser and for that reason this shit may never end. She doesn’t need the money from this show and I wish she would just push back with production sometimes.
Thoughts And Prayers
While Dorit and Teddi play racket ball or whatever (which reminds me I have balls and a racket and technically still belong to a church with a gym…) the other ladies go to the onsite chapel. They light candles and pray for Camille and Denise and the fire victims. That is good production.

Meanwhile, back in Beverly Hills, Denise and Aaron check out the smoke damage of their house. I’m sad all over again but so happy that Denise’s gorgeous house is still standing. Even sadder, Camille and her daughter sort though the rubble. It’s just heartbreaking to think about. Let’s move on.
Tamara’s Recap Takes A Bizarre Personal Turn, AGAIN
My dead weirdo ex neighbor who lived with his mother who was friends with my mother used to have an old man do yard work. It wasn’t his job. He was friends with the psycho mom. So he was not in a hurry. He would blow leaves right by my front door for HOURS. He was deaf. I was not at the time. I could not handle it. So I would leave and go work from the free McDonalds Wifi. My laptop has a three hour battery. That was never long enough. So at that time I had a cell the guy I was dating gave to me. I went next door to my “friends” at the time and said, “Hey, I am going to work at Mickey Dees. Can you call me when your lawn guy leaves?”

Remember the scene where Kyle and Kim pointed and screamed at Brandi? It was like that. It was kind of terrifying. And he said, ” YOU ARE CRAZY! THESE ARE NORMAL SOUNDS! YOU HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO DEAL WITH LIFE!” That was the last time I ever spoke to them. But there was a lot of truth to that and no compassion. My coping mechanism was to get away from the irritation. I don’t want any more sadness in my life. I do want to know what happened to their houses. It’s just that there is so much unnecessary fighting and bullshit on these shows.
We Now Return To Your Regularly Scheduled Programming
The ladies are heading out in a helicopter to visit a winery. In fucking Provence. So Jealous. Erika says she isn’t feeling the whole helicopter thing. Teddi, who I am beginning to loathe, does a talking head saying that this is her first time. It’s derogatory toward Erika. There is an agenda underfoot. And in the air. Teddi may not want to do LVP’s dirty work but she has not problem being Kyle’s minion. But why is Kyle out to fuck with Erika? Remember when Kyle and Erika went to Mykonos?
At the wine tasting, Erika says she has a migraine is going to taste and spit as you are supposed to do. The rest are going drink everything they are given as I would do. All eleven glasses. So Erika is sober and the rest are, well varying degrees of not sober. Also, I want to do bad things to the wine guy.
I Prefer Whispering Angel
This one time (not at band camp) Someone sent me a case of rosé for my birthday. And I tried Whispering Angel. It was nice but not like the best thing in the world. I certainly enjoyed drinking it but I liked some of the other options better. Rinna mocks Vanderpump Rose and I laugh because I know someone with a big deal restaurant or two that LVP tried to get into with her rosé and the sommelier was like, nope. That’s why LVP will be signing bottles of her swill in a Aldi near you soon.

Anyway, that leads to them deciding to impersonate each other. This will not go well. All the impersonations are a bit nasty and rude. If everyone was in a good place, it would be different. Erika and her migraine don’t like any of it way before it gets to her. I don’t blame her. On the other hand, this shit is funny. This is the funny we need. And Kyle’s impression of Erika was funny.
When Did Dorit Become Likable?
On the car ride to… the copter? Kyle mocks Erika and Rinna who are in the other car. She’s not happy they are sober and boring. I want that grey cashmere? sweater Dorit is wearing. I wear my moth eaten grey cashmere sweater in this house in the summer sometimes because my internal thermostat is broken. So, I need more grey cashmere sweaters in my life! I hate that I am liking Dorit this season. And starting to hate Teddi.
GET CAUGHT UP ON OTHER RHOBH RECAPS AND RHOBH TEA HERE
Oh and I forgot. Erika and I think maybe Dorit? Someone else said in the glorious chateau with eleven rooms they were on the top floor. Which normally would be fine but they had to climb tons of stairs to be with Kyle and Teddi who where on the main floor. So when you see Erika bitching about the stairs, that’s why. But apparently it was great for her glutes.
The Obligatory Fight At Dinner
Erika Jayne is all alone at the dinner table sitting erect and probably praying for this meal to end before it begins. Kyle is drinking like a fish. Teddi and Kyle bond over having famous families. Erika says that she has never had a group of women friends. I get it. She trusted these women and.. well this dinner did not end well. Erika was trying to say that the girls in this group are not jealous. Then Teddi and Kyle continue their attacks on Erika. It’s sad. Kyle is shitfaced and making the situation worse. More Farrahween shit. I am so over it. Rinna is the only one making sense. Erika just said she was finally trusting the group since LVP is gone. Kyle is being awful. Simply awful.
Erika Is Tired Of The Bullying
Dorit and Teddi leave the table. Then Erika does. Rinna tries to talk sense into drunk Kyle. I don’t enjoy drunk Kyle. Then everyone is back at the table and Teddi and Kyle mean girl Erika. WHHHHHHHYYYY? I hate this! Erika just goes to bed. I want to do that too. Drunk Kyle goes up the eleventy billion stairs to Erika’s room. She refuses to go back to the whole Farrahween incident. Meanwhile, Teddi is a horrible person talking to Rinna. I can’t. Rinna says that the people who take issue with you do so because they see themselves in you. Of course I learned this in psych 101 but the reminder was needed. Also, “it’s okay they’re just feelings. ” I need Rinna to be my therapist.

Why is Kyle on the wrong damn side now? It should be Rinna, Erika and Kyle. Oh wait I get it. Kyle wants to be the top of the friend chain so she went the easy route with Dorit and Teddi. Le sigh. This is not how you become queen bee, Kyle. This is how you let Rinna or Erika become queen bee. Do better.
In everyone’s defense, the drinks at the Chateau were very strong.
Next week: More drama at the Chateau. And is that Faye Resnick? I know you guys hate her, but I love Kyle so if Kyle likes her maybe we could open our minds to liking her?
This recap was far more entertaining than this show. A few bright spots, but it’s Teddi that does have to go and take Denise with her. Bring in Niccollette! And LVP is still fairly more interesting than the others, love her or hate her. And for the love of God, please don’t bring back Kim, which they certainly seemed poised to. Bring back Brandi. That’s a good cast with that catty Camille, at least interesting. LVP, Rinna, Erika, Camille, Brandi, Nicolette, Kyle. That’s a good formula that won’t be boring, even if they insist on keeping that faux Brit, Dorit. And see next week? Was that Faye Resnick with a now unrecognizable face?
Nicollette and Brandy?? Omg yes!!
I like Kyle but this is not a side I like to see. She is so determined to be HBIC that I think it will backfire & she will be next seasons punching bag. I dream of seeing Rinna unsurp these low hanging fruits & take over this franchise.
I live for Rinna!
I’ve never seen this mean side of Kyle before, even when she’s been not so kind she never called someone boring. The impersonations were AMAZING though!
I have seen the mean side of Kyle and so has everyone. Brandi’s first season…
Yep! I loved Kyle during season 1 and hated her season 2, starting when she trashed Brandi behind her back immediately upon meeting her, and then she and Kim hid Brandi’s crutches at that stupid game night.
Damn! I can’t believe I keep forgetting all about the crutches incident. That really was pretty lousy and “mean girl” of them to do that. I want to believe Kyle is a nice person but it’s not easy when I remember that horrible evening and know that she’s tight with Resnick and Pimp Mama K. And after reading TT’s blog today, maybe Kyle really does want to be top dog.
The mean side of Kyle is what made her such buddies with LVP.
Hear hear. Kyle and Lisa have the same mean steak-and like Rinna said, we are repelled by people who have the same issues as we do. One of them ultimately had to go. Lv and Kyle were never actually friends in real life Anyway. Did I just reference Rinna as a source of wisdom? 😳
This episode was an absolute abortion. Teddi and Kyle were beyond obnoxious and I’m usually a Kyle fan but I pictured myself slapping her every time she rolled her eyes-and that’s a lotta slaps.
Something gross about watching forty and fifty somethings stagger around in a drunken haze and cackle at absolutely nothing. The mean girl look was UGLY. I looked on in horror at this dull episode. I’ve watched about half the season because I just can’t care about this franchise anymore.
Drunk is not a good look for Kyle. I adore her but last night she was terrible. Geez I cannot believe that I liked Dorit either. I feel there is something that Teddi is hiding. She is suffering from something outside of
RHOBH and she needs to come to terms with whatever it is. Felt sorry for Erika revealing that she never had
any girlfriends and when she finally thinks she does Kyle and Teddi attack her in an unkind way. Hoping the Rinna/Erika situation will go off in the sunset like the dog deal did. Sick of seeing that shit resashed.
Vile Kyle. I mean have you seen Season 1? The total takedown of her own sister? Now granted, Kim has problems but with sisters like that… who needs enemies?
Kyle used to be my favorite.
I stopped watching this franchise like 2 seasons ago because it made no sense.
They all just want fame so badly they do all these maneuvers.
They’re all frauds.
Imagine how compelling this season would’ve been if they’d focused on the fires and helping Camille and DR who live in Malibu — and HELPING PEOPLE SUFFERING FROM FIRES. THAT would’ve been interesting TV. Instead they let the foxes run the henhouse and run off the only interesting person on the franchise — LVP. The idiots made up some behind the scenes maneuvering and who cares??? It’s kind of sick that the fires are like an aside. Camille’s entire house burned to the ground. No wonder she’s angry.
This show is sooooooo bad. I’ve only read stuff online.
I don’t even like LVP but at least she pretends to be classy.
Maybe they should have Julinanne Phillips replace LVP. 😛
I literally stopped watching and only follow recaps. BH is so out of hand with the women over-producing the show themselves (which they aren’t supposed to do) and directing it that I think it could cause damage to the rest of the franchises.
Bloom is off the rose!
Season one I really did not like Kyle because I thought she was mean to her sister, BUT, and it’s a big but (see how I made it big?), she was actually trying to protect her sister until her sister pushed her too far.
Once it became clear how bad Kim was it became apparent just how much Kyle was doing to cover for her.
I was cracking up at the impressions! What in the holy Faye Resnickface was THAT?
I’ve been hiding something so very deep from you TT. It’s been for several years now. Rewatching season 1 BH today has given me the confidence to finally come out and scream to the world that I have been on to both LVP and Kyle from season 1. I can’t stand Kyle! And now I’ve said it! She and LVP have more in common than not. The thirst for queen bee-dom is real and she is straight up PARCHED this season. She really thought that once she got LVP out (and I am no LVP fan either) she would reign supreme and “win”. Her true colors are again being shown. Love Rinna and Denise…and that’s it on this cast. I do adore and Love you TT! If this is the end us, it had to end honestly 😘😘❤️❤️
And Faye Resnick will always and forever be a hard NO from me.
Nicolette Sheridan will be a YES 🙂
It is not the end of us. I can’t say too much but all I can say is that sometimes you do not know the whole story.
Ok pheeeew!!! I’m so relieved 🙂 Oh I’m sure, I can totally concede to that. But watching the show I’ve just never been a fan of either Kyle or LVP. Kyle may be a very different, kind person in real life. But on the show she just needs a drink STAT.
Tamara is spot on with the recaps but not the best judge of character. She will end up hating Erica and Kyle just like she hates LVP now. Kyle is friends with Resnick; that should tell you something.
Actually, the fact that Kyle is friends with Fay Resnick makes me think we have misjudged Faye.
I absolutely hate Dorit screaming cackle, I want to throat punch her with a fucking brick. Kyle is being a snatch for sure, and it pisses me off that Dorit is kind of in the right frame of mind… ugh. Rinna was perfect tonight, absolutely perfect.
The saying “You can tell who you are by the company you keep” tells me I could never with Kyle and Faye. NEVER. I have heard and know too much.
See as a Kyle fan, I think that means that Faye may not be as bad as you think…
Taylor, the grifter, was also a great friend of Kyle’s. That really let me know about Kyle. She seems to collect sycophants.
What make you believe Taylor and all of Kyle’s friends are psychopaths? What an extreme judgmental opinion of another person. Taylor left, got married, made a few appearances, but never tried to come back to the show. It appears she is happy with her life without Bravo, as is Adrienne, Yolanda, and the list goes on. As a matter of fact, I recall Faye came with Kyle to a WWHL segment last year. Andy asked her why she does not want to be full time on the show and she decline. So, just maybe, not everyone in relations with the cast want to be on the show.
Sycophants not psychopaths.
It pains me to say this but Teddi has been far from enjoyable this season. I’m team Rinna/Erika on this one.
I like Kyle…have since season 1. Erika acts like she’s a straight shooter, not afraid of anyone, but there have been times with her that have really irritated me. Her first season she got caught lying. I think they were on a trip & I don’t remember the details. I remember being shocked because I thought she would be one to own whatever she said instead of lying about something she said. Then, last year she did pull the amnesia shit…which she got pissed at Teddi about for calling her out on it. Personally, I thought she seemed bothered at Farrahween when Rinna started in on Kim and used the Erika persona to do it. I’m like Kyle in that I do not like for someone to act a certain way or say something and then later lie, deny, or have amnesia. It bugs the piss out of me.
Erika is not a good person. Any mother who leaves her child to pursue fame and fortune sucks in my book and please don’t come back with “what about dad’s who do it?”. It’s NOT the same. She’s mean, narcissistic and is most definitely not a girl’s girl. She prefers to hang out with gay men who fawn all over her because she pays them to.
If I could make it so that the whole world was just gay men and me, the world would be a lovely place. Unfortunately, there are a lot of straight females who are judgey without knowing any facts about the situation. The problem with this world is straight women who criticize other straight women. The situation is only made tolerable because there are also gay men. Most of whom are treasures.
Isn’t this a judgmental comment toward straight females… What a hypocrite.. LOL
So, it’s ok for fathers to abandon their families to pursue their dreams? Anyway, you don’t really know all of the facts. None of us do. I believe it was a temporary situation and her son came to live with her later on.
TT, you are not alone in your intense dislike of leaf blowers. They drive me up the damn wall. The first single family home we owned, our neighbor used his leaf blower all the fucking time. I did get him to knock it off while my babies were napping. So glad that we moved.
All I asked was for them to call me when it was over. I had been through this before with them. I had come back HOURS LATER only to have hin still there. I know I am crazy. I just need solace in the ghetto. The same guy killed ALL vegetation between his camera and my house. WHY?
I am 100% with you about the women are fighting too much on these shows. Bravo is calling the upcoming season of New Jersey one of the best seasons because there are a lot of fights. Who wants to watch women fight?
I hate how they script the shows too.
I think your neighbor killed all the vegetation because he didn’t want to mow his yard. Sometimes I let my yard go on mowed for 2 months because I hate to mow.
I could have sworn that John Tesh led a crusade that inevitably caused leaf blowers to become illegal. Maybe it’s a Mandela Effect but I swear I followed that story for years. Bc John Tesh lost almost all of his hearing and was really passionate about how damaging leaf blowers are and also loud concerts.
I’ve brought this up to a few people in my life and they look at me like I just spoke Klingon to them so I guess I have to chalk it up to a ME. Shrug. I’ll show myself out.
It was my flower beds, not his yard.
The old man was clearly most deaf anyway. He did hear me calling him an asshole when he was standing right by me using the blower on my side of the chainlink fence as I attempted to get in my car and flee.
The good news is they are all dead now. Leaf blower guy, the asshole who poisoned my beds, his mother and the dog. Win. win, win.
The impersonations were so funny! Wish the whole show was stuff like that, not this endless petty bickering. I want to laugh along in gorgeous places.
But about the endless petty bickering: The reason it is endless is because both sides are partially in the right and partially in the wrong.
Kyle and Teddi: I understand why they think Erika would be upset at the awful things Rinna said while posing as her. They do not think Erika would be that mean, so they want to defend her. And it did look to me during the Farahween episode that Erika was initially irked. BUT once Erika said she was OK with it, they should just drop it.
Erika comes across as so haughty and supercilious I understand why she doesn’t have female friends. She projects this icy air. BUT she said she had a migraine, so they should give her a pass for these couple of days. It was wrong of Kyle to interrupt Erika when Erika was trying to say she feels comfortable with this group. Kyle totally ruined that.
But what really made me roll my eyes was when Erika said they were bullying her. For one thing, bullying is what happens in middle school; I can’t stand when adults say that. Just because people criticize you, it doesn’t mean they’re bullying you. I can’t stand that who-can-be-the-biggest-victim mentality. For a second thing, haughty Erika is not one to be bullied.
Kyle was out of control drunk. I didn’t like seeing her like that.
I still can’t stand Dorit. She is so phony.
And I like Teddi, because you can really sense her sincerity, her trying to be a good person and do the right thing.
Do not bring back Kim or Brandi! Kim is painful to watch, and Brandi just takes everything straight to the gutter.
Agree. Agree. Agree! I was actually LOL at the impressions – especially Kyle doing Teddy. I did have a glimmer of “like” for Dorit – especially when they were impersonating her and she was actually laughing at herself. PK, Brandi and Kim could stay in hiding indefinitely IMO.
When Teddi asked why she had to be the moral compass for the group she didn’t realize that she appointed herself as such. It’s that accountability coach thing popping out of her. She is responsible for no one I. This group but herself and she cannot see that. It’s annoying.
Erika, who shows up when she feels like, and when she does makes pronouncements, and then sits back with the I am so bored face.
I have always like Kyle but I think she’s someone who is beyond tired of being in the shadows and trying to find her niche. While is seemingly backfires on her time and time again.
Production, Production, Production. Why do they force the cast to have a “fight” regardless of who’s in the room? If there were two people left in the cast they’d make them have fights to manufacture synthetic drama.
On the other hand, Rinna doing a mumbling, slurring version of LVP…”Whaddabout Vanderpump Rosé?” was frickin hilarious!
I like Kyle until she starts defending Kim. That’s when she goes off the rails. Girl needs some al anon help bc this is typical when dealing with an addict for decades. But production driven or not, Kyle is going after Erika because Erika was not offended for Kim. Production isn’t stupid, they know that’s a huge trigger for Kyle.
Oooooooohhhhhhhh! Finally something that makes sense. Yes she’s lining people up “for” and “against” Kim. I could not figure by why she was like a dog with a bone.
Yes! Just made a post before reading this but you read my mind! Why else would she be pushing the issue!? KIIIMMMMM.
Family defends family over friends, period. If anyone went after my sister the way Rinna has done, I will been more than a dog with a bone. Was Kyle wrong and annoying? Yes. Rinna and Erika are close and something tells me Rinna is only repeating what Erika has said in their private conversation. Erika can be that sniper from the side, but I like her.
Interesting POV Janabanana, I’m leaning in agreement with you.
I dislike all the women in last night’s episode. Acting like middle schoolers at lunch time, and not a good look at their age.
That was so disheartening to see Kyle keep jabbing at Erika. I felt sorry for Erika, tough as she is, when she tried to tell them how she felt comfortable in her first group of women friends and then they just attacked her with the stupidest argument ever. Get over the Farrahween thing!! It pains me to not like Teddi but she is becoming very unlikeable….But Rinna is ALWAYS a yes for me 🙂 love her love her love her – drunk or sober, she makes me laugh.
Yes to everything you just said!
Tamara, double check the renewal information mailed to you. This year I was able to go to a satellite location that had a kiosk, scan my info, swipe my card, and the machine printed out my stickers. No waiting in line. It was great! Still had to go get the dumb emission test but the stickers were way easier at the kiosk. Maybe your county has them too? I usually don’t bother to read the information included, if I hadn’t I would have missed this option.
I actually laughed out loud last night. Rinna impersonated LVP and her mumbling and Kyle impersonated everyone. Too funny! Especially when Kyle did Teddi’s walk. This is what we need more of. The laughter!
As far as Kyle and Teddi trying to stir up drama about Erika…it’s a big no. It just didn’t feel organic. Why can’t production stay out of it and just let things happen naturally? Without Kyle and Teddi stirring things up this was a great episode. Loved it!
I may be naive, but I never really feel the production in RHONY, it mostly feels organic and perhaps that’s why it’s my favourite, I wish production would stay out of RHOBH.
Have to agree with you. NY feels more authentic. It’s much more entertaining to watch. Plus, the women know each other as opposed to being co workers.
The RHONY didn’t know each other before the show except for Barbara and Luann. And everyone on the show and here seems to hate Barbara. I think she is a refreshing dose of reality. We will probably not get her back.
I have a question about something I saw on tv…. I know we aren’t supposed to reference other outlets, but what’s the deal with Tinsley?
I don’t mind Barbara. I’m all for genuine friendships. I didn’t realize Barbara and Lu were the only real friends on the show.
Another good episode without LVP. I enjoyed watching every bit of it except the production driven annoying drunk Kyle and Teddi going after Erika. For the first time, we see that this cast of women mesh well without LVP. Erika describing LVP as a dark cloud was right on point. If LVP was there, she would have found a reason to become a victim for attention, while making Kyle feel guilty for enjoying the other women. And, that not so British humor would have made an entry to make one of the ladies feel less than. Nope. LVP was not missed by me.
Love the impressions, especially Rinna doing a mumbling LVP. Dead on. I am happy with the cast. Bring catty Camille and Brandi back to hold diamonds. Add Kim R., Faye and Nicoollete as friends and RHOBH will be back on track
I’m sure it’s production driven, but do you think Kyle is beating such a dead horse with the EJ impersonation because it was used to be rude to her sister? I cannot think of ANY other reason she’d be harping on Erika so much about it. I’m reeeeally not liking Teddi this season either. I love that Dorit and Rinna are not afraid to be the voices of reason with this issue. How can Teddi not see that Erika actually is the LEAST fake because she cannot front when she’s pissed off or annoyed or upset about something. They pissed her off by trying to push her to feel a certain way about Rinna’s Farrahween act.
I like Teddi, but this season she has become the annoying little sister to the cast. I think she is still finding her niche and trying to fit in. I can tell the ladies like her. I don’t see Bravo getting rid of her, because she has the capability to annoy the other ladies, with Kyle being the exception.
I personally LOVE Faye Resnick. LOVE HER. “Do you feel better now?” Faye 4EVA LUV HER.
I really wanted to like this episode because I love the location, but all this contrived, petty drama completely ruined it. Like everyone here, I hate all this scripted fake drama – it is far too obviously fake. But, whatever. At least Camille was not on this episode, except for briefly because of the horrific fire destroying her home, and I do feel really bad for her and her children losing her home – I just have not liked her cattiness this season, but no one ever deserves losing their home and all their belongings and memory/treasures. Please, for the love of all things holy, do NOT bring back Kim Richards – I have never ever liked her, drunk or sober. She is the epitome of fake. I don’t care about Faye either way, I can take her or leave her. Based on Rinna’s appearance on WWHL last night, I do not think Rinna would welcome Nicolette onto RHBH at all – that would be really uncomfortable, given Nicolette is Harry’s ex and neither can stand each other – Rinna might never want to film with her, plus I think Nicolette is just a witch in real life. (When a viewer called into Andy’s show and asked about some comment that apparently Nicolette had recently made about Rinna and Harry’s marriage, Rinna did not even speak, but offered her thoughts on the comment by giving double middle fingers into the camera.)
Leaf-blowing – TT, you have my very deepest sympathies. I, too, work from home and I live in a large apartment complex – it’s maddening when I’m trying to transcribe from digital audio files and the landscaping crew is leaf-blowing and mowing out here. The idiots also even leaf-blow the hallways of each floor of our building too (yeah, that makes perfect sense – they blow all the leaves into one corner…….and then just leave them there, where they then scatter yet again in the wind, leaving the hallways covered in leaves until the next time they show up with the leaf-blower). I want to stick sharp pencils in my ears with leaf-blowing and their lawnmowing because they use two really large mowers. An entire day’s work is torture when it’s mowing/leaf-blowing day and I work a 10-hour shift – I end up with an Erika migraine, feeling very homicidal.
I will never like Faye Resnick. She is a shit person and I hate seeing her short appearances. This was a very disappointing episode. It’s almost like Beverly Hills is turning into Atlanta and most of the other Housewives shows. I do not want to see these women behaving badly and attacking one another. I want to see beautiful homes and vacations. If this season doesn’t improve I may be down to only watching the New York edition. Somehow I still find those women endearing and I love Bethenny.
TT, have you checked to see if your DMV makes appointments? They did by me in California and it made the whole process easier.
The whole dinner at the chateau had me thinking “you can’t take these women anywhere…”
Let’s see..it’s Teddy’s second season and already she has butted heads with LVP, Camille, Dorit, Erika, and Lisa. The reason Teddy talks so much and involves herself in everything with everyone is because she is always trying to control the narrative. Just like a good liar. She’s a very manipulative person hiding behind the face of the girl next door. I see right through her bullshit. Teddy is actually getting Kyle to do her dirty work. Everyone that sees through Teddy’s BS is now in danger of losing their job. Seems to me Kyle is trying to clean house and make room for her insane drunk sister and her bitter older sister. After last night’s episode I see Kyle in a completely different light. She let her guard down and her real personality shine through. Kyle was 100% that mean bully and it was not a good look. Teddy seems to bring out this side in her. Teddy is so thirsty it’s sad.
Maybe I need a bravo break and watch non reality TV for a bit, but I kind of enjoyed the ladies this trip. Granted, i don’t know why Teddi and Kyle kept asking Erika why she isn’t angry and still talked about it even after Erika legit said, no it didn’t bother me. If they just stopped, i think the whole ‘bullying’ of Erika and her mood would have completely changed.
The breakout star to me was Dorit. She was my Dorit-NOOOOO and after puppygate, a hell NO but when Dorit is real and not pretending she is fun and almost relate-able and someone i could see enjoying in a group. I also enjoyed Drunk Tedi refusing to go to bed and wanting potato chips and annoying everyone bc we all have that friend.
Here is the thing, I don’t really drink, so I am the sober one when my friends act like these ladies acted. With a migraine and issues with them to start, i would be Erika for sure. But if the girls didn’t irk her and she took advil before the migraine came on, she would have enjoyed them as much as i did for sure!!!
I even enjoyed Rinna and she is the thorn in my side of this cast.
As for Kyle, i love her and see her as a good guy, she makes mistakes and owns it. Aside from the Bye Klye thing she posted, i don’t think she did anything wrong with LIsa V. However, with timing and such, she could have approached Lisa differently as she was grieving the death of her brother and her Birthday was that day.
Who knows whats what thought with editing, revisions, asides of the woman and this being ‘reality’.
I do like the after shows, which i watch now bc it does show how they are thinking in the Now and not in the Then.
Sorry for the long post, its my first time commenting here!!!!!!
xoxoxoxo and Tamara, your a beautiful soul and light and love and PAWSITIVE vibes to everyone.
Okay so… can we discuss how they were at “dinner” but literally not one course was served?
That’s why a Teddi was so hungry! 💡
Not condoning Kyle’s behavior, but last season Erika talked to Teddi like she was trash!
Just a reminder before we feel too bad for Erika.
I don’t think Erika adds much to the show. The scenes with Tom seem so fake and her deference to him makes me uncomfortable. We have to endure too many scenes with Mikey, and when Erika does interact with the women, she’s aloof and/or disinterested. I can see why Erika doesn’t have female friends, Maybe Kyle is annoyed that Erika’s presence on the show is so contrived.
i think the obamas may be vacationing right now at the same resort the rhobh ladies stayed in.
But that pink wine though….my New Years resolution was to START drinking and I think that will help me keep my resolution into the next year.
I just need to say, seeing comments from this user name is the bright spot in my very sad life. You always make me smile. Your user name gives me the giggles and you are never hating on anyone. Thank you.
Laughter is my jam
Here they were in that beautiful chateau and acting like trash. Mean trash. Maybe none of them has ever had a migraine. No matter what they THOUGHT was going on, they should have given Erica a bye.
Production … love that they put the call-out box with “Dorit’s dress: $6,000.” WTF is Dorit doing running around in a $6,000 dress for ANY occasion, but for a ladies night? When she owes her ex partner money. Spare me.
I wish TV were truly interactive so I could have screamed “SLEEP IT OFF!” at Kyle and Teddi. When I used to morph into Nadine Bodine on certain drinking nights, I always could trace it back to something that was bothering me before my first sip. These ladies have some underlying issues.
I have had friends wherever I’ve lived who have not previously had many women friends. Most were good looking and several were shy. If they had been plain, it would have been “shy” but because they were pretty they were labeled “conceited.” I believe Erika, which is why I was disgusted by Kyle. Kyle did tweet a heartfelt apology on WWHL. Rinna was pretty funny. I like drunken Rinna, not drunken Kyle or Teddi.
LVP wasn’t around so Kyle and Teddi had to pick on someone else. How does it feel Erika? Always production driven with Kyle’s words and actions for some reason? Laughable.
Can we hurry up and get to the part where you see things my way, Spunk? Because this part is exhausting. 🙂
Totally AGREE, I’ve read all TT post on LVP and I still don’t get the hate
Loved the recap, as always!
On a side note:
I thought Erika looked great in bed with no makeup and her messy bun. It was a refreshing side to her that we normally don’t see!
Yes!!! I felt we saw the real her, not her stage persona!
For the life of me I can’t understand why these women insist on acting like fucking teenage girls. Put your big girl panties on and grow the fuck up. Stop acting like some petty bitches and enjoy your riches! (Sorry, I’ve been day drinking).
I have said before and I’ll say again I like the idea of Faye with this group. I think she would be very interesting. I trust Kyle’s long friendship with her. This episode was no fun to watch. I felt bad for Erika and that was a first. I don’t like the gang ups. I know New York is the same as far as the drama but I guess I just like them better. The recaps on Beverly Hills are better than the show.
ALL DAY. Faye Resnick fan club. We are small, but we are discerning. Watching Faye calmly and politely cancel that weird blonde who was on for one season was my favorite moment of RHOBH ever.
Did I miss something? It was very late when I watched, but was any food actually served at the “dinner”?
TT, not sure what you need to do at the DMV, there are emission places that will do both the test & submit your paperwork… i can’t remember if they give you your stickers right away or if DMV mails them, but you are legal & renewed with the receipt they give you. AND I love your recaps. Thanks for saying things that are in my head but i’m too afraid to say out loud.
Kyle and Teddi acted like drunken twatwaffles, I like dorit better now that she’s not around LVP, Erika was understandably annoyed by twatwafflery, and I love Rinna!
It’s obvious these women don’t like each other that much when common enemy number 1 or 2 is gone. Next season will be interesting. I’m hoping Kim Richards returns as well, I was initially against it, but she really is one of the main players. Teddi needs to be demoted to Kyle’s backup now that LVP Is gone.
Kyle is just trying to line up people against Rinna because 1) Rinna’s got to pay for how she acted toward Kim at Farrahween and 2) Kyle wants to consolidate power as Queen bee. She’s already got Teddi and Dorit’s easy. She wants Erika. She knows Rinna won’t kiss her butt so Rinnas got to “go”.
This whole thing was to get Erika on side against Rinna by having her admit Rinna offended her. When it didn’t go to plan Kyle lost her cool. She’s hardly a sniper from the side. I hope Erika comes right out and calls this BS plan for what it is… but not sure if she will because of Kyle’s position in production.
Someone posted that something was wrong g with Teddi offscreen what did that mean? She does seem really strange. Deeply insecure – I just don’t “get” her. I used to love Kyle she was my overall favorite housewife she just seems the most relatable but I don’t trust her. I feel like Kyles nastiness has come out.
I almost felt bad for Erica but she is mopey and narcissistic.
I think Teddi isn’t that smart and she goes on and on about stuff she doesn’t even understand . Moral compass what is she talking about? Attacking Erica because you don’t like her personality does not make you “moral” it makes you mean, controlling and petty. Erica plays her silent treatment manipulation well and Teddi is so insecure she can’t handle it. Teddi doesn’t have a moral compass but is the Personality Police?as much as I dislike Erica she should’ve said STFU to Teddi. They all seemed dumb and this episode was boring. Like everything with RHOBH it’s so manufactured their “lines” don’t make sense. Rinna’s psychobabble nonsense on Teddi was also laughable.
These grown women act on the level of Middle School.
Teddy seems to become a bit important , but it cracks me up that Edwin did security for Kyle and Mario’s home and they were robbed. Just found a shame, and not the best for business, lol
I like Edwin but what a disaster considering how much business Mario could get Edwin many referrals.
A real shame, and not mentioned very much.
Noticed how Kyle and Teddy and Edwin and Mario seemed to become close friends. (Just noticed)
Wonder how it will play out.
I agree Kyle became close to Teddy for possibly business for security business.
(Call me wrong, just seemed to make sense for a possible reference)
Shame the house was robbed of many irreplaceable valuables.
Fortunately Kyle had pictures of the jewelry to replicate the pieces to remake.
The security system was not completely installed at the time of the burglary. Someone, I think Mauricio’s (not Mario, that’s Ramona’s ex) was staying there and didn’t know how to set the temporary alarm. They should have hired pros to guard it but hindsight 20-20 etc.
I love your side stories, TT. It’s a quirky add-on that is different from other sites and keeps me coming back.
Thanks for the recap. I can relate…I am just not feeling this week either. I wonder if there is some crazy lunar thing going on that is messing with my mood?
I did a season one binge too. It was a nice change of pace to what the series has evolved in to.
I have to disagree with you, TT…like with Atlanta keeping Nene, …If Faye joins Beverly Hills, they will lose me forever!
Kyle has floundered over the past two seasons. First their was all of Kim’s drama that carried on for seasons, but that has gone, so she is gropping for a storyline. She is blessed with a great husband, kids and life, so she is resorting to mean girl to hang on to that diamond.
*THERE* Stupid autocorrect! My phone day drinks…maybe I should join it!
“It’s just that there is so much unnecessary fighting and bullshit on these shows.” Amen! Amen. Amen. I know lots of folks like these shows for the drama but sometimes thee Housewives make me wish for a N.V.C. reality show where folks take turns talking, deeply listen, speak from their own needs, and model how mature adults could behave. 🙌
After reading all these comments if you want to see REAL drama, bring Nicollette Sheridan on the cast to clash with Rinna and Denise.
If Nicollete became best buds with Camille and/or Brandi, you’d never need LVP back to create fake storylines again, ever.
Why did someone suggest Julianne Phillips? Has she been thrown up as a possibility somewhere? We could have dueling Charlie Sheen and Springsteen tidbits popping up.
Nicolette with Rinna might need to be a pay per view event. I have a feeling that Rinna would not hesitate to knock the ever loving shit out of Nicolette if Nicolette even considered uttering Harry Hamlin’s name.
I’m in for Faye Resnick. I think she would put it out there in a more intellectual way than Brandi, but with the same entertaining punch. Much better option to me than Kim R. who needs to stay away from a production driven reality show with ulterior motives. I makes me think of that great show unReal. Take no victims! Ratings at all costs!
*Take no Prisoners, not victims.
I suppose there are a number of ways to look at this Kyle/Erika situation. On the one hand I suppose some might think it’s Kyle enlisting the aid of Teddi to go after team Erika/Rinna because that shit is a thing that’s pretty strong and growing.
On the other hand, and for now I think I fall into this camp, It’s Kyle’s over reaction to the insult of her sister which is sort of understandable when you take into account he unholy amount of ever-not-loving shit her sisters gave Kyle for supposedly not standing up for Kim even though Kyle spent almost the entirety of season one covering for Kim.
Still love me some Kyle, but damn that lady went way overboard on Erika.
But here’s the thing Erika is turning into a disinterested player on the show. She’s displaying an affected disinterest that’s off-putting to watch. But not over the Kyle and Teddi inquisition though that shit was totally justified.
