I can’t believe it is already the season finale! Sorry for the late RHOBH recap. I am so far behind on everything right now I can’t seem to get caught up. I feel like I am trying to keep 100 plates spinning and they are all crashing down. It’s exhausting. But I am very excited for this episode!
Oh wait, now that I think about it, I am so sick of hearing about Denise and Brandi and threesomes. I really thought after a couple of episodes of that nonsense, we would move on to other things. Why is production on all the real housewives shows suddenly deciding to pick one boring thing and then making it into some sort of season long scandal? Between my Covid brain and my POS new laptop, typing is a challenge.
Christmas At Dorit’s House
Finally, I get some Kyle. I did not get enough of her this season. She’s putting some of her yacht wear in Sutton’s store. That’s a great idea! It took me all season to really warm up to Sutton, but I like her now. I think she was just nervous in the beginning. Garcelle is producing a new movie. All of these things could have been great storylines. Dorit is planning a housewarming for herself in her new rental. What is with this trend, didn’t Karen Huger just do that? Anyway, the housewarming will apparently be the finale party. Why does PK need to know the whole Denise and Brandi story. PK needs a better makeup artist. Erika is in NYC for Broadway. Are we not going to see the ladies go to NYC?

OOOOOO! It’s Christmas at Dorit’s house! I love Christmas! I am feeling better already! I love the tree and the nutcracker! Everyone is super dressed up for this shindig. Sutton’s dress is ridiculous. Lots of friends of the show are there including Faye and Adrienne. Garcelle and Chocolate Michael are supposed to pick up Denise but she is not picking up their calls. As these two wait outside, the conversation turns to…diamonds. It seems she is ready to get married. Maybe next season? Do you think she would be a bridezilla? They decide to head to the party without Denise.
Garcelle Is A Player!
I love that Kyle and Garcelle eat actual food. Garcelle also has her eye on one of the caterers that she first spotted at Kyle’s party. She’s flirting with him five minutes after asking Michael for a diamond. Meanwhile poor Michael is chatting with Sutton’s boyfriend about a proposal. Garcelle!!! Dorit says that Camille reached out to her to try to get some air time and she is not interested in talking to her. Apparently, Denise and Camille met to film the day before. That has everyone confused. Oh look! Brandi Glanville has crashed the party! Shocker.

Brandi always manages to look like a hooker. Apparently, she is Kim’s plus one. Wait, the nonalcoholic champagne is pink. Why is Kim drinking the white one? Maybe they are both non-alcoholic. Anyway, Brandi is the reason that Denise bailed. She sent her mean texts and probably told her she was going to be at the party. When Garcelle leaves, she asks production what happened with Denise. They got a text from Aaron saying there was a family emergency and she’s not coming. Garcelle is sort of pissed. Production agrees it is not cool for her to bail.
How Do We Solve A Problem Like Denise?
A few days later, Rinna, Garcelle and Dorit meet for drinks to talk about Denise. Denise needs a raise if she comes back next season. This has been the season of Denise. I just zoned out looking at Garcelle’s food order. It was bone marrow and lots of other stuff. And she’s no fool she is eating. Rinna and Dorit must be grateful that Garcelle flavored the air they are having. Garcelle says Denise stood her up for a shopping date at the last minute the previous day. Dorit says she got a text from Denise apologizing for missing her party. Rinna is pissed that Dorit has not contacted her at all.

When Denise filmed with Camille, Camille was trying to turn Denise against Rinna. It seems to have worked. Garcelle seems to be trashing Rinna to Denise as well. Aaron apparently posted a photo of Denise in a hospital bed wearing a blue hair covering the day after Dorit’s party. WTF? Apparently, the photos were from her hernia surgery months before. This whole season has been confusing. Then we find out that Denise sent cease and desist letters to all the cast and production. What are they supposed to be ceasing and desisting about?
Rinna And Denise Have A Final Showdown
Oooooh Denise is going to film with Rinna at her house! They are both super pissed with each other. This should be good. Also, now I see why Dorit’s big season finale party was truncated. Dorit must be pissed. It starts with a big hug. Denise thanks Rinna for letting her come over multiple times. They both say they miss each other. Denise wants to know if she knew that Brandi was going to be at Dorit’s party. She says she didn’t. Rinna points out that everyone was worried about her. Denise says she responded to Dorit and Garcelle. Rinna points out that she didn’t respond to HER. Denise admits the obvious that there was no family emergency.

Then she claims she didn’t get Rinna’s text. Now Rinna is heated. She also thinks that Denise is lying to her about her relationship with Brandi. Denise told Rinna that she barely knows Brandi. But Brandi showed everyone a very long text chain between the two. This is why Rinna is not sure what to believe at this point. Denise says in an interview that there is an app that can revise text messages. Look, y’all are going to have to explain that if it is true. But I feel like once they are on your phone, they are on your phone. Now, I feel like Denise is lying. Denise says she has seen Brandi four times in her life. She’s an acquaintance.
Denise Makes It Obvious She Was With Brandi
The more Denise talks, the more she looks like the liar. And Rinna is holding her feet to the fire. Wow, In Denise’s talking head she threatens to release texts from both Brandi and Rinna. Denise seems awfully worked up about this. If someone accuses you have having a threesome and it’s not true, why not just say, “Yeah, it was fabulous!” Throwing a fit about it for the entire season just draws more attention.

Denise gets super pissed when she finds out everybody knows she tried to get the footage about the three way taken out of the show. Again, stupid move. If she would have just laughed it off it would have blown over. But her freaking out about it proved it to be true. Denise tries to pivot to making it about protecting her kids. Come on. They’ve survived hookers at Thanksgiving with dad. They will be fine. Yet, somehow, Brandi has managed to destroy this decades old friendship in an attempt to get airtime.
The Wrap Up
Oh Yay! We are going to get to go to NYC! Sutton has rented a private plane to take Kyle, Teddi and Rinna to see Erika on Broadway! Dorit is flying in from Mexico. Garcelle chose not to come. That’s interesting. Next we see Garcelle and her boys out protesting. And we find out that she broke things off with Michael. Teddi has a beautiful baby girl she named, Dove. Unfortunately, Dove has some serious medical complications to get through. Denise is back filming Bold and the Beautiful and Aaron is working as a stand in on the love scenes. Rinna dancing on Instagram (and posting nudes). Dorit, is still Doriting.
So, what do you think? Will Denise show up for the reunion?
TT hope you are getting some rest! Can you refresh my memory? Did production cut 4 episodes in response to Denise? I remember you posting something about that before
My brain is full. I can’t remember. I am pretty sure nothing was actually cut but people were speculating that was the reason for the hiatus. Actually the hiatus was because of production slow down due to COVID and the RHOBH shooting their own talking heads.
I’m going to look you were onto something
I think you said that the reason there was a decrease in the expected number of episodes was because there wasn’t enough CONTENT! THANK GOD! Can you imagine another four hours of She Said, She Said about Denise and Brandi?
Denise was fine on camera talking and laughing about hunting and finding a happy ending for Aaron. So, it’s ok w/Denise that her kids, her kids’ friends, and kids’ friends’ parents all know about that, but went to the extreme to send out cease & desists over herself getting happy w/Brandi. Sounds to me like Brandi is telling the truth, that the issue is Aaron was in the dark about sex with Brandi and Denise wants to keep it that way. Getting some sexual gratification is only ok if Aaron is in on it.
I don’t really give a shit if Brandi sucked her clit. I just got sick of the fakeness and lies. Denise claimed she had no issues with anyone, then trashed Kyle incessantly in the back of an SUV. She bitched repeatedly about the three way talk that took place at her house but that same night at that same table with the kids sitting close, Denise started in AGAIN about Aaron’s big penis. She swore up & down in Rome to Teddi that she did not talk shit about Teddi, then in her talking head said she actually said way worse shit than what Brandi told Teddi.
I can’t stand people like that. I can’t stand a damn liar. Take Rinna’s advice and own your shit. It infuriates me more for someone to swear up and down they didn’t do/say something (when you know they did) than if they would just lay their feelings out there so things can be discussed or resolved.
It would be fine to say “I regret that I was such an open book last season. Once I saw it on TV, I was mortified. Live and learn.” and coyly say “Maybe it happened, maybe it didn’t, but I’ll never tell.” Or, what I personally suspect, “I regret that I was such an open book last season. I’m really litigious and the way I portrayed myself is compromising my ability to get the settlements I want, so I am turning over a new leaf.” All of the stupid lies on top of other stupid lies just make her look crazy.
Also, she looked like a completely different person in this episodes interviews where she’s in leopard print with neon illuminated walls in the background -in both face and lighting. Guess professional lighting goes a really long way.
This.
The only person who ruined the friendship between Lisa Rinna and Denise Richards is Lisa Rinna. And Lisa Rinna also ruined her friendship with Garcelle this season by acting like an asshole. Maybe Denise is lying, who knows, but they would not have let it go. Kyle, Lisa Rinna, and Teddi made sure to have Brandi at every event after their vacation trying to humiliate Denise with a hookup that none of them were involved in. Luckily she foiled their plans so they were stuck with nothing..just like last season after LVP stopped filming. Hopefully Bravo is paying attention and realizes that these people are incapable of carrying a season on their own.
And Denise was at the reunion, but I did see her walk off in a preview.
Kyle Lisa and Teddi are not the ones who invited Brandi. PRODUCTION did all of that.
Yes, and we saw production trying to get Garcelle riled up that Denise stood her up. Aaron had called production to inform them Denise would not be attending the Christmas party. They sent Garcelle to pick her up and sit there wondering while all along they knew Denise would not be showing up. There is not much “real” about these shows.
Why are you assuming that production knew in advance that Denise wasn’t coming to the party?
It makes much more sense that Aaron’s “family emergency” message came later, after producers called Denise to find out why she stood up Garcelle and whether she was showing up to work that day.
I mean, my boss isn’t going to call my house to find out where I am unless I’ve no-showed already. They don’t call before I’m due at work.
Good point. I assumed Aaron made the call earlier because that’s what a responsible employee does but it could have been just as you said.
You said it! nothing is real.
Then production is probably the ones who leaked Dorit’s dog story to the tabloids this year. It can’t go from LVP setting up all of these ridiculous storylines to production as soon as she’s gone. And if it is production they really need an overhaul.
Agree JustJenn, maybe the actual lives of the ladies were just too boring in the eyes of the production company and they wanted to spice it up. What better than a good cat fight? It seems to be a “thing” on reality TV. People are pitted against each other. Everything has to be a contrived competition.
If I were a producer, I would have outed her for that dog drama. What Dorit did disgusts me (just the part she admits to). I don’t understand how Teddi walked away from her role fresh as a daisy. I think the only reason puppy gate became a *thing* is that the cast wanted to avoid discussion of their personal lawsuits. It was a tedious misdirect.
Teddi walked away from it because she admitted what she did up front and apologized in a genuine way.
She didn’t try to hide it and threaten to sue anybody who talked about it.
Or put another way: she “owned it”.
Isn’t it expected that the finale party will have all willing current and past housewives in attendance? Denise shouldn’t have been surprised, she isn’t that naive.
Lisa confuses me. So thanks, you’re absolutely right.
Lisa Rinna bothers me the most as Denise and Garcelle are her actual friends for years from the industry. Rinna has bold face lied about things she’s said on camera and threw hands when her marriage was mentioned, but she has no problem dogging her real life friends for a storyline…I don’t find that entertaining at all.
JJ, I agree with you. Lisa is willing to trash real friendships for a storyline. Wasn’t she also a long term friend of LVP.
Rinna is supposed to be a long time friend of Sutton too and she wasn’t that nice to her either after her daughters DNA fashion line party or whatever that was. Dorit completely embellished what Sutton said as she walked into the party and Rinna made some nasty comments about it before she even saw what actually happened. I’m sure if Rinna and Sutton come back next season Rinna will ruin that friendship too. Especially since it seems like Sutton is standing behind Denise this season.
Rinna is an asshole and not a friend that I would want. When she said to Denise “oof, your sooooo angry”, I wanted to punch her in the face. Go dance some more you stupid bitch. I really can’t stand her.
I actually was awake at 9:00 to watch this. I said “wow” when it was over. I watched the whole season in binge and I thought the finale was so good!!!! Denise someone who I would be really worried being on her bad side. I kept thinking, Aaron, you may think you are controlling Denise, but your mistaken my friend.
I am scary capable to be ruthless. Luckily, long long ago. I think that they will all make sure Denise’s ass is kissed and the reunion will.be acting.
I dunno, this episode seemed so rushed together. The first part with Dorit’s party seemed normal but they seemed to want to wrap up everything so quickly. Pretty sure they could have squeezed out two more episodes.
Denise will be at the virtual reunion, no doubt!
I think Denise will walk off & not participate in next season. Do not blame her for it. It’s the most toxic environment for her. She did not deserve to be treated in such a reprehensible manner. Kyle is a producer so she is safe. Teddi ‘continues to rim her so she’s safe. I think Lisa R who I loved has cooked her own goose regarding likability so of she remains she will be next seasons target. Erika is so vapid & cunning & needs to go. I love Sutton & Garcelle but not willing to endure Dorit so I will be passing on watching next season. I think Brandi & Kim will both return and do their horse and pony show. Denise Richards is & will remain the best addition to this franchise. I love her daughters & her entire vibe. Refreshing to see a housewife who won’t bow to those mean af women.
“Continues to rim her”…dying!!
It’s always interesting to me that when two Housewives strike up a genuine friendship and behave like genuine friends do, then one is always “up the ass” of, or “rimming” the other one.
Of course, if they’re not genuine friends, then they’re “thirsty” or “being fake to get more camera time”.
There really is no winning, is there?
If women are not pitted against each other, they’re scorned for being up each other’s asses.
But of course, it’s strictly Bravo who are the mysogynists in the scenario. It couldn’t have anything to do with the audience’s expecations, right?
You are right! I like Kyle and Teddi’s friendship. It is real ad I’m sure they are friends “off screen “ as well. People keep saying how boring Teddi is. I wish I had her boring life!
I haven’t even finished it yet but it had to post about the jerk move by Denise to make Garcelle wait on her when Garcelle had her back in Rome.
And I loathe the contrived storyline, I mean unless they had sex on camera we don’t need to know what Denise and Brandi did or did not do.
They ruined amazing Rome scenes with their shenanigans.
I miss the older shows. If they bring Brandi back I’m done with this one.
As I mentioned in an earlier reply, I think it’s probable that Denise thought having Aaron phone production to let them know she would not be attending the party was enough. She had Aaron do it so she would not be strong-armed into attending. She naturally assumed the producer would inform everyone she wasn’t attending. Denise could not have anticipated production would be so underhanded as to send the car with Garcelle and let her sit there. Who would have thought that it was the intention of production to try to break up the Garcelle/Denise friendship, which is what it looks like. Just my opinion.
Oh I’m sure you’re right but I’d still text my friend. Shrug
I agree with you Hummingbird. Also Denise texted Garcelle later saying she didn’t want her to lie for her. I do believe production invited Brandi to Dorit’s house. The look on Dorit’s face was of shock.
BHs entire first season was about whether or not Camille was interesting on her own without Kelsey. A conversation she and Kyle had off camera.
Aaron’s Picture post is definitely suspect. And Rinna is probably right when she says Denise knows how to shape a narrative. BUT haven’t we all cried family emergency to get out of something? All if this IS affecting her family (husband) and after so many no-shows I seriously doubt that anyone was really that concerned about her- except perhaps Garcelle.
Why isn’t Sutton full time? She was more involved than Garcelle, and I did end up liking both of them.
Anyone else notice the clear sustain Dorit has towards PK? And he has been SO absent this season
Do you think PK has emotionally left the marriage? For its angry and he just seems to be a silent partner. Unless For it wants to being in a psychic to their party, then he won’t stop with the digs.
Dorit not For it
I used to like Denise but I am fine with her leaving and Sutton taking her peach. I’m not sure if Garcelle will be back, she took a job co hosting The Talk (I think that is the right title) and that is five days a week (or at least four). Not sure how that would work to do both. I like Garcelle, I’m just saying it looks like she didn’t really enjoy the show.
I also meant to mention that Denise was super submissive in her phone to Aaron where she was asking him if it was okay if she stop by Rinna’s, AKA go to work. That whole phonecall was sort of an over the top “OUR MARRIAGE IS GREAT” scene.
I loved Denise Richards back when she had her own reality show with her dad on it. I do not care for this Denise. I’d rather she go.
Yes to Sutton. I can watch an entire season of her disastrous fashion choices and never be bored.
Hahahaha! That dress! Hahahahaha. You know it doubles as a handkerchief.
Actually TT it’s the Real. I believe she is replacing Tamera Mowry. Good for her
Yes you are right. I knew I had the name wrong I just couldn’t think of it.
Awwww….I thought garcelle was joining the real. ☹ I cant stand the talk.
Along with kids, sex lives should be off limits (and I don’t mean a happy ending joke). I also smell a double standard, a same sex affair was deemed OK to talk about but if she was f**king PK or Mauricio it wouldn’t have aired.
How do we know it wouldn’t have aired?
??????
It aired when LVP was directing her puppet Brandi to bring tabloids saying Mauricio was F’n around on Kyle and then Brandi talked about it. It aired the info about Eddie (Brandi’s ex) screwing Sheana. Jax F’n around w/Kristen aired. Info about Ramona’s ex F’n around aired. They aired Eileen talking about screwing around with her now husband when they were each married to other people. Lots of info about sexual escapades has aired…especially w/Braunwyn & Tamra discussing the throuple situations they each had with their husbands and other women.
I’m not following the double standard comment.
I don’t give a Ramona Singer shit if Denise and Brandi had some fun between the sheets. Denise signed on to do a reality show. Don’t tell details one minute about finding a massage parlor who will give your husband a hand job like it’s no biggie and talk about how big his penis is repeatedly then act SOFA KING offended if others talk about sex related shit. You can’t be miss cool who is open to sexual adventure one minute and a prude the next…THAT is a double standard! Denise brought up Aaron’s dick at the same table the women talked about threesome’s at BEFORE the threesome talk. And if she wants to have her clit sucked and keep it quiet don’t choose Brandi Glanville, don’t choose anyone connected to a damn reality show who’s thirsty for camera time. If you have secrets you don’t want on tv it’s best not to do a reality show period. Stick to all those magazine covers she said the other ladies haven’t done. I mean she said it, she’s “FUCKING DENISE RICHARDS!” Doesn’t she think it might be likely whoever sucks on her clit is going to talk??? Reality “celebs” make themselves targets.
“I don’t give a Ramona Singer shit…” Don’t tell the others, but you are quickly becoming my favorite… 🙂
You know I love you!!! 😘
I’m stealing the I don’t give a Ramona Singer shit. That is golden. Lmao. @Mel G, you rule!
Don’t give a “Ramona singer shit” is definitely a keeper !!!
I think I love you MelG
😘
So many gems in this post. I wish we had the “Like” button again…
MelG will you be my best friend. All of this! And I will add all season Denise is epitome of ”the lady doth protest too much” and she’s not even a good liar! I won’t miss her lies.
At the xmas party, Rinna was giving us Ukrainian Escort.
Sutton was giving us Mrs. Beasley couture.
Mrs. Beasley couture–LMFAO!!!!!
(I do like Sutton but that was hysterical)
🤣🤣🤣
Winner 🤣🌹🍾
I thought the episode was great. All the breaking of the 4th wall works in RHOBH because half the cast are actresses, and it’s all taking place in L.A. so I think it still feels real — even if it’s not.
I don’t hate Teddi as much as everyone else, but she should go. She had a nice run. And I think without her there, Kyle will be more involved and not have a security blanket.
Denise hates these women now, so spare me her coming back too. No one is going to buy she wants to “fix” any of these relationships.
I like Garcelle, but she seemed only 50% invested — so I can only imagine if she’s filming a talk show 4 or 5 days a week how involved she’d even be if she does sign on.
Brandi, love or hate her, she’s messy, but RHOBH needs an element of messiness. And w/o her, we would have literally no season this year. I never thought I’d say it, but she deserves to be back full-time. And you know she wouldn’t fear Erika, Rinna, or any of the other ladies.
Sutton should stay a “friend of”, or go. She had a couple of good moments, but she is so painfully self-conscious. It’s not super fun to watch.
My season 11 cast would be: Kyle, Rinna, Brandi, Erika, Dorit, Garcelle (if she actually invests) and 1 or 2 new people — and pretty, pretty please no Camille.
I liked Garcelle until the last episode where she basically proposed to Michael in the car on the way to the party, then conspicuously drooled over the catering staff. That’s not a great way to be.
The comments are killing me–thank you:) Love this site!!
Your killing me with your name.
When Sutton told Denise about the rumor Brandi was floating around their circles, both Denise and Sutton said Denise laughed it off. I guess Brandi didn’t get the reaction she wanted, so she had to have a “breakdown” and tell Kim.
I think that one of the reasons Denise got so up in arms about the “interlude” is because it was her least favorite, Teddi, who brought it up and the WAY that it was brought up. It was as if Teddi and Kyle were Snydley Whiplashing their hands together and had already believed Brandi was truthful. Kyle is pissing me off with her “I’ve never known Brandi to lie” bullshit. When she has CALLED Brandi a liar over allegations about Kim and Mauricio.
I hope Sutton returns either with her ex letting the kids be filmed or having Bravo shoot her knowing no kids instead of having to edit out many of her scenes.
As far as apps changing/editing texts … I know there was a program called Res Edit that people used to change the date and words on email messages. I imagine some asshole has created one that could do that with texts too.
She may have CALLED Brandi a liar publicly, but she knows damn well both the Kim and Mauricio comments WERE true.
It’s called trying to save face 😉
You can’t be serious. You’re buying Denise’s claim that the texts Brandi showed were done via an app?
People can be #TeamDenise all they want, due to the shitty way it all came out. But to actually believe that nothing happened between them is just being willfully blind at this point.
30 minutes of the show were spent with the women asking and discussing where Denise might be. 30 minutes of a season finale. BS
Brandi, obviously desperate to be on a show for money or PR or whatever, called producers, told them she had a good story. None of the other women were willing to reveal anything about their lives so production went with it. I think Denise felt completely blindsided by it. They all knew, she didn’t and that’s her source of anger. No one warned her. I would be pissed too especially since, again, no one else is contributing much.
Let’s have more Sutton next season even though her boyfriend came across as very patronizing to Garcelle’s boyfriend–“Yeah, that’s great, great, you guys look great together, great.” But Sutton is intriguing and funny.
Garcelle is interesting–I like her scenes discussing scripts and projects. But she seems to not show up to a lot of stuff. I read about her talk show gig, also. She’s perfect for that.
Dorit did nothing this season. And her clothes are now wearing her, so many distracting doo dads.
The Rome trip boiled down to several contentious dinners talking about the same old thing. Oh, I forgot, we were treated to a scene at the Trevi Fountain. That’s some original content, Producers, we never get to see that–good job! Also, shopping, (was there a spa scene?)…zzzz…and the mopeds, whatever they were. I noticed they outfitted the women’s helmets with cameras but we never got to see that footage. They took off and that’s it. Missed opportunity for us to see some of the city and/or countryside.
I don’t remember seeing any of Erika’s Chicago prep, none of Kyle designing her clothing, etc, etc,. It was a short, BS season. Producers–you are killing this franchise.
Maybe they should have a shake up with the Producer’s instead of cast mates. I agree with you that there were so many missed opportunities and too much of one story played over and over again. This season sucked.
Just finally watched this episode. I also watched the unseen moments this time just to see if I could pick up any other tidbits but it was a lot of fast forwarding on the unseen moments episode. I’ve not been a fan of Denise from the beginning. I think it’s because I had a feeling that she was a bullshitter trying to control the narrative like Rinna pointed out. I’ve always thought she was a bit of a “poser”. I think Aaron is a controlling batshit husband, FWIW. I think she’s afraid of him finding out for whatever reason. This episode with production breaking the 4th wall and Denise being litigious just confirmed my suspicions. She’s been in the “industry” for a long time and she is a diva. ( “I’m Denise fucking zRichards) I don’t think she’s that good of an actress either. IMO, she is a liar. I think she’s very image conscious and very manipulative. She made a big mistake signing onto the show, has regrets and wants everyone else to pay for her own poor judgement. And poor judgement seems to be a running theme with her…just look at the men she’s chosen to marry. I also think she’s batshit yet crazy like a fox at the same time.
That said, Brandi is a D list bravolebrity at best. She was never a decent actress either. But, she’s a proven liar. And a drunk who is desperate for camera time. Such an attention whore. I still can’t get the image out of my mind years ago when she was papped stumbling out of a restaurant with her dress caught in her thong with her entire ass hanging out.
Kim Richards. I’m really hoping sobriety sticks this time for her. But I also think that the years of lying that come with addiction is a hard habit to break. I also think she is desperate for camera time. I’m happy that she and Kyle have mended fences but they should have kept it Off Camera. (Also an “actress “)
I swore I’d never watch this franchise again if they brought Kim and/or Brandi back. Here we are…full circle moment and the show has tanked since their reappearance. They are comfortable in chaos.
Which brings me to Kyle, whom I’ve always really liked. This season brought the worst out in her. She has some degree of ownership in bringing Kim and by extension, Brandi back on the show. I still feel like there’s more going on behind the scenes in her personal life and she perhaps invited this in to deflect problems she didn’t want brought to the forefront. (Also an “actress”)
Erika. It was sad how her broadway run ended. I don’t understand why people continue to hate on her and call her cold. She doesn’t spill all her dirty laundry, doesn’t seem to insert herself into others unless it’s the required minimum of the storyline which is her job. I actually respect that she does the requisite appearances with Tom and leaves her adult son out of it. The character of Erika Jayne actually has had a pretty decent fan base as a performer in other demographic groups than those who watch this show.
Rinna. Hasn’t changed at all since first coming on the show. What you see is what you get, like it or not. She’s probably the one with the most actual acting credits other than Garcelle, and has never tried to hide her hustle, or her failures. I think she was genuinely hurt by the dissolution of her friendship with Denise.
I was just getting to warming up to Sutton. Liked Garcelle also but she was barely there until the very end. She seems like she’s got too much going on to be a full time HW.
Dorit and Teddi. I don’t have anything to say about either of them which translates to I wouldn’t miss either of them if they weren’t to return.
Reunion: could be my covid/dental/hurricane freak out brain, but I swear at some point TT told us that Denise does show up for virtual reunion but Brandi doesn’t make appearance which was why Rinna called it “bullshit”.
In summary of this entirely too long comment, I don’t think I’ll be tuning into the Bravo crap anymore. As has been stated here and on other threads, it is not filling the dark hole in my life since Covid-19 showed up. The fact that they ruined the travel porn with petty arguments over dinners was annoying. That, and how they drag out a stupid story line over an entire season. I mean seriously, who actually gives a fuck if Denise and skanky Brandi Glanville hooked up? It’s nobody’s business and it’s a stupid storyline. Bottom line, I blame Bravo and the production companies AGAIN. But, not gonna lie, I’m sure I’ll watch the reunion before I reinstate my boycott, lol.
Kyle disappointed me as well this season. I’ve always liked her, but she was nasty to Denise since the beginning of the season – they all were. They belittled her house, after she lost her home in the Malibu fires, and belittled her looks. Then to bring all of that nonsense up on camera only to claim you feel bad for Denise? No. This season was basically a total loss
I don’t even mind that Garcelle was thirsty for the waiter at the party because I appreciate she remembered him from 3 months prior. And not just because she found him attractive, but I think she’s just that genuine and actually pays attention to “the help”. She’s the type of person to remember you regardless of a camera being around. She’s not here to pretend she’s something she’s not I’ll be sad if she doesn’t return next season.
Donna: “oof you’re so annngggrryyt”. Kindly fuck off, you gas lighting bitch.
*rinna
That really bothered me, too because she said it with a smile on her face. WTF.
That was antagonistic and provocative…almost taunting, but it says something about Denise that she didn’t really register that (unless they cut that footage out). I think she and Aaron bond over having enemies. I’m basing that mostly on his “She’s protected. SHE’S protected” comments at Kyle’s party, but the rest of their interactions reinforce it. And he seems extremely thin skinned. I can imagine him getting really upset about being cheated on. I mean, more so than the average person who would obviously be deveststed.
That was some messed up shit! I would have owned Rinna if she tried that mental abuse shit on me.
Lisa Rinna has destroyed a 23 year friendship for a reality show cheque. That’s kinda sad. Sorry but this season has been awful. On every platform I visit the only people who we enjoyed watching was Sutton, Garcelle and oddly Dorit. I really hope the producers see who is constantly involved in these stale storylines season after season. Erika, Kyle and Teddi need to go. They are as dull as dishwater. Rinna is a stirrer and a trouble maker but at least she contributes. Also has anyone seen that Teddi has bought a new house in the same community as Kyle’s new house. God she’s such a beg.
Dull as dishwater? Hmm,ok. I don’t think their lives are dull at all.
If Teddi bought a new house maybe it’s because it’s a great neighborhood, good school district, bigger yard for her kids, and close to friends!
I know I bought my house 20+ years ago In my neighborhood so I could be close to friends who already lived here.
Sorry, I just don’t get all the negative comments about Teddi. I think Teddi and Kyle have a true friendship and that is awesome. I’d rather their sisterhood than fake “TV” friends.
It’s my opinion. And It’s okay for me to have my opinion. I found them dull. It’s not the end of the world. In fact I found the whole season dull. One storyline being dragged out is not interesting. Yes it’s nice Kyle and Teddi are so close. They can be close off camera and the producers can bring on some new ‘wives.
denise you are a liar. you may be a great mom but not a good friend. good friends don’t lie blatantly over and over. plus if you don’t like someone don’t be fake! your husband is a creep!!! at least charlie sheen didn’t hide his demons unlike you and aaron, mister “i’m going to squeeze your hand!”
I’m a tad late commenting, but I just wanted to add that it is super easy to fake texts, and proving they are fake, super hard and expensive. I faked texts to my son from Santa (I forgot to post his Christmas list) and my sister fakes texts from her loser ex to her kid feigning interest. There are numerous apps where you can make it look like the messages came from an actual number, or you can create the appearance of a text trail under someone’s name by simply saving your own number under their name and texting yourself back and forth and deleting the duplicates, or by using a spare or friend’s phone or tablet sim card.
An IT tech can authenticate text messages in a court of law, and do – but for television production purposes or even small claims court or arbitration – texts simply cannot be trusted any longer.
Wow! I didn’t realize you could do that. But didn’t their texts go back like more than a year? That would mean that Brandy was running this scam a long time. Because there are dates when the texts were sent. After talking about wanting her husband to have a happy ending, Denise can’t act like she is prim and proper. And didn’t she also say that she had one, as well? Not when Aaron did, but earlier? Isn’t that like prostitution? She isn’t all “cool”, she is gross. I don’t trust her. I think she is a liar. And I can’t believe this, but I don’t hate Dorit and PK anymore. Kyle is slipping with me. She used to be my favorite, not so much anymore. They need to figure something out for next year. Their “story lines” are ridiculous.
Even if there is such a program, Brandi is not tech savvy at all. She talks about it all the time. She can barely use her phone. Sadly, I believe Brandi.
“Dorit is still doriting” should be her blurb in every recap. That sums her antics up to a t. Period! Lol!
Dorit’s barrettes at her party was like the expensive version of Bugsy on Below Deck Med.
I skipped a few seasons. Came here for the recaps.
Dived in relishing the LVP free episodes.
1. Damn. I like Kyle now. Covid brain.
2. Damn. I like Dorit now. See 1.
Always an Erika fan. Loved her this season.
Enjoyed Rinna, Teddi, and Garcelle.
Sutton grew on me too. I hope she stays. The clothes.
Hire a stylist! You have the entire bakery.
Brandi looks like Wayne’s puppet Madam ? Old people might remember. Not sure name is correct.
However, I believed her from the get go. Production turned it into a passion play (Kim returning dresses).
Brandi waiting in car.
Aaron is just weird. Denise changed her story. Maybe somebody in production could be tech savvy and fake the text thing, but that’s putting money into Denise’s lawyer’s hands.
Lisa Rinna has become unwatchable. Erica and her schtick is close behind. I didn’t like Garcelle at the beginning but she has grown on me, like Sutton. Still can’t stand Dorit.
