It’s the most wonderful night, of the year! No, not because of the RHOBH recap. Because it is Survivor night, and most importantly, the two hour finale of Big Brother! It’s been such a great season. I’ve ordered in delivery! A cobb salad for tomorrow (and probably the next day because it is huge), and for tonight a BLT flatwich with fries! I cannot wait for them to get here. I’m hungry! I ate food yesterday and my body is like, “Hey, maybe we could get back to eating food everyday?” In other news, Wednesday DVRing is a PITA and I already have two Wednesday shows I have to watch on Saturdays On Demand from Wednesdays alone BECAUSE BRAVO WANTS TO ATTACH STUPID SHIT TO THE END OF ALL THE HOUSEWIVES SHOWS! 
Sutton Isn’t Going To Play Fancy Drew, Anymore
Tonight on RHOBH, Kathy shares a interesting place she has had sex. YAY! And Erika Girardi cries poor to Kyle. I’m sure we will all cry through that. In case you missed it Tom Girardi told a reported that “I think she knew.” Click here for that video and the heated debates in comments about Tom’s mental health. My opinion has changed. The group is still in Del Mar and I believe this is the finale. Erika Girardi announced recently that the reunion will be four episodes and then wrote, “You’re Welcome.” She tries to make people hate her more. My source confirmed is a four episode reunion and that no plans have been discussed for next season just yet. Of course there will always be rumors but it is way too soon for that. The Bravo suits still undecided about the RHOA cast after all this time. They are not good with decisions.

All the ladies except for Erika who is not attending for some reason go to a cable car ride through a winery for wine tasting. They are drinking a TON of wines. Kyle and Rinna catch the ladies on all of Erika Jayne’s Tall Tales. Rinna keeps saying these are all true stories. She found out this morning Tom’s Brother was okayed to put him in and adult care facility. Sutton questions how Erika knows all of this. Rinna of course comes for her (I love Rinna but I am starting to believe some of you with conspiracy theories about her). The line of the night comes only 8 minutes in with Sutton says, ” I’m not going to place Fancy Drew anymore. I’m going to let Scooby Doo and Shaggy handle it.” Referring of course to Kyle and Rinna. Crystal breaks down over her deceased father’s dementia and buys everyone a bottle of wine.
WAIT NOW? Queen Of The Low Road Says What?
Back at the resort Kyle mocks Sutton again both to her face and again in her talking head. Big mistake. HUGE. Kyle’s nasty little digs over the seasons were sometimes funny. But, her treatment of Sutton is abhorrent. Production keeps showing how none of Erika’s Tall Tales make any sense. Sutton is the only one with a brain in her head. Kathy isn’t feeling well and is not going to whatever is next. Sutton foot is hurting so she is going to bed and watch a movie and elevate it.

Erika arrives on scene in head to toe hot pink latex. Rinna arrives in vintage Norma Kamali full length puffer coat. Dorit arrives in I dunno, footy pajamas and a tool belt? I thought Sutton went to bed but she arrives on the sidewalk using the elevator because she is on a scooter due to her foot. Erika remarks, “Taking the low road I see?” What a hypocritical cunt she is. Pure trash. At dinner, Erika says that she’s decided that “Tom has done so much good for so many people, that someone can step up and help him right now. Why is my kid there?” Because he obviously fell far from the tree, rolled five hundred yards and became a decent human being because you weren’t around to infect him in his early years?
The Lies! The Lies!
Erika is in a very good mood as she is telling these lies. She’s kind of giggling during the whole version 12.5 of the Tall Tales. I’m feeling all Kandi Burruss about it and I am not even there. Meanwhile she is talking about her son calling to ask if she is living next to Armie Hammer and if she if fucking him. She’s cursing a lot and laughing. She says her son is getting so tires of her and her life and her disasters. Aren’t we all, kid. Aren’t we all. Everyone is laughing like she’s doing a comedy skit. This whole scene is bizarre. Everyone is shitfaced except for Garcelle and Sutton. They keep looking at he other with a face that says, “Is this really happening?”

Kyle turns to Garcelle in the Mayhem and says, “And now Sutton is not talking.” STFU, Kyle ! Crystal has not said ten words all season. When Garcelle or Sutton talk the rest of you bitches gang up on them. Y’all even have your own mean girls tag on Twitter that trends every Wednesday night. Just just your pie hole. Then, Kyle says to Sutton, “Kitty Kat Got Your Tongue?” No, bitch, Sutton and Garcelle are in stunned silence over the insanity they are watching. As is your pal Crystal. If they open their mouths the beatdown is coming. The only people talking to Erika are Kyle, Dorit, and Rinna. And boy are the three of them good a rim jobs. Perhaps Erika gives lessons?
Sound Travels
Erika makes some sort of shit -rapped-into-a-backhanded comment to Sutton about paying the rent on her store. Sutton meant that her store that just opened was supporting the rent. God these women are angry bitches. Erika’s very strange tax returns by the way claim that her LLC (the one for prostitution and/or “singing”? ) lost $25 million dollars in a three year period or so. With zero profits. That is what the government calls a very expensive hobby. It’s also taxable income, bitch! Kyle goes right back to rimming Erika’s butthole and talking about Broadway. Girl, Please. Erika, who I fully believe was high as a kite, stole Sutton’s medical scooter and rolled around on it.

The next morning the sane people, Garcelle and Sutton sat on Sutton’s balcony and tried to make sense of the night before. The were shocked that Erika talked to Sutton and they don’t by her motivation. Garcelle says just see what the day brings. Meanwhile, Erika is apparently traveling with two assistants to do her hair and makeup. I am shocked. No really I am, she has looked like a hot pile of shit all season. Rinna calls Sutton. THAT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN IN A MILLION YEARS WITHOUT PRODUCTION. So Garcelle and Sutton start talking really loudly about Erika. How convenient that Erika overhears. They were not saying anything bad about her at all.
Please God, Let It End
I hope to hell the last thirty minutes of this DVR is fucking WWHL and not an extended episode. I want this to be over. Lord hear our prayer. I’m skipping over the early morning exercise crap. Oh wait. That is the part where Erika Girardi claims she has zero dollars while sipping champange as her glam squad awaits in her room and she is making mid to high six figures on this season. This episode just makes me angry. WAIT WHAT!??? Kyle mentions the victims in a talking head? Nice to wait until the finale when Erika won’t see it until right before the reunion. That’s why she goes in saying Rinna is her only friend.

You know what you should do with bitches who hate each other? Put them on a boat. Bravo got Brian Malarkey from Top Chef to cater this disaster. Erika gives Sutton a fake half-assed apology that she doesn’t believe. Erika says in her talking head that she still hates Sutton. She just doesn’t want to ruin the boat ride? She didn’t care about Kathy Hilton’s dinner or the whole fucking season? The reason she hates Sutton is because she got out of her marriage with more money than Erika got lying on her back the last 23 years. And it’s all hers. And here businesses turn profits. Also she is a member of high society in multiple cities Sucks to be you, Erika. On the boat, Crystal apologizes to Sutton and they hug it out.
Never Have I Ever…
A game of Never Have I Ever beings with Garcelle who says, “Never have I Ever Stolen Anything…” God, I love Garcelle. Garcelle is shocked when Sutton drinks after Never Have I Ever Had Anal Sex. The people who didn’t drink are all liars except maybe Crystal. All these other women have been around several blocks. Dorit’s Never Have I Every had sex in an airplane bathroom. Erika of course has and so has Kyle and also Dorit. Kathy’s was “Had sex in a doctor’s office. Kathy Hilton drinks and so does Erika. Kyle says being a freak in the sheets is genetic. No one admits using a strap-on on a man.
OMG THERE IS ANOTHER EPISODE. These take me so long to recap! And tonight I was rushing to get to the Big Brother finale. And my brain was typing in slow motion.
Thoughts on this episode?
Remember the episode in a previous season where Rinna visits Jenny McCarthy for Jenny’s podcast? They both answered yes to the strap on question. How can you like someone that lies so cooly?
I ant stand those lying lips.
Rinna screaming “it’s true it’s allllll true.” Like how would she even know? I really think her time is up.
And Garcelle with the never have I ever? Man, that made up for the whole episode. Erika knows better than to berate Garcelle.
When Rinna kept repeating that it’s all true it was so uncomfortable to watch.
Rinna is so fake!!!!! Just trying to stay on the show with her gigantic mouth!!! Really can’t stand Rinna, Kyle, Dorit, this season!!!!! Doris can’t shut her mouth either. Kyle is mean! Sutton and Garcelle only keepers and maybe Kathy.
Fingers crossed
I guessing Rinna has friends and authentic relationships in real life. I’m glad Erica shut down never have I ever. That and truth or dare are played to start mean stupid fights but of course that’s what its all about baby. You put you right foot, you put your right foot out. I’m with her no kiss, no tell.
soooo right.. Garcelle is a stronger than life woman.
I thought we would see a slow realization by the Fox Force throughout the season, that Erika’s situation is so messed up and they would have a hard time blindly supporting her. I mean, that’s what we were promised. The cast kept saying, it’s early, stuff hasn’t come out on the show like it has in real time–we don’t know about this and that on the show yet. Well, now they do and their undying allegiance hasn’t changed. Very, very strange. Ready for it to be done, it’s so GD repetitive now.
Right? And Kyle was still defending Erika on WWHL saying Erika is not a liar lol
The Kim Richards cut out as bartender on WWHL tonight was really below the belt. Andy Cohen is just evil. 👹
I just saw that. It is a new low for Andy, and that’s really hard to do these days.
I’ve always got the vibe that Kim had issues with pills/powder more than alcohol. Jussayin.
He’s still a disrespectful Jackhole nevertheless.
Andy Cohen is nothing more than a pimp.
They do those bartender cutouts a lot on WWHL. Last time Mercedeh was on, they had a cutout of Vida as bartender. I MAY have seen it used as a dis, but I only remember it done as an homage.
It’s entirely inappropriate for Kim Richards, cardboard cut out or not to be a bartender given her battle with alcoholism. They could just as easily made a drag queen or Joe Gorga or some other human being behind the bar and put the cut out on the stage with the sisters in some capacity.
Joe Gorga would have been the perfect choice but then the silly game would have been blown.
I wish they had surprised us with the REAL Kim Richards. I have a soft spot in my heart for her.
Erika’s mood sure did improve after she found out they ok’d putting her husband in an assisted living. Kyle was so rude to sutton, to her face and in her confessional. I think Erika only “apologized” to sutton because she was made aware of who Sutton is.
How so?
I think she meant that Sutton isn’t a “nobody” as they were trying to tell Garcelle at lunch. And, IMO, Sutton wasn’t one to mess with. She might have seemed weak but it was a moment. The woman is strong and independent. That was my take. That Erika realized she shouldn’t be threatening someone who actually has money, social standing, morals and a brain
No one had ever heard of Sutton. There is no real evidence of her wealth and if you search for it online, some state that it is a merely $2mln.
I’m from Georgia and I have a friend who knows her ex. She’s super rich. And on the board of a lot of big time charities. Your Google skills must not be very good. Sounds like you read those “celebrity net worth” sites. LOL. She’s spent more than $2 million during her first season.
The only ones worth anything are Sutton, Garcielle & Crystal. Oh & Kathy. Rinna is a POS, Kyle is fake as fuck and Dorit is just useless. Erika? Who gives a shit? Begone, all of you.
I like Sutton, Garcelle and Kathy. For that lineup, we probably have to keep Kyle. I doubt Kathy would film without Kyle. And Kyle is actually better with a more dominant Alpha female such as Kathy or LVP than Kyle trying to be the main one.
I’d get rid of Rinna, Dorit, and Crystal.
The problem with my “Dream Team Four” is that there is only one husband who will film. Rick Hilton won’t film. Sutton and Garcelle are not married. So the husband scenes wouldn’t work as we only have Mauricio.
The three I want to get rid of, Rinna, Dorit, and Crystal have husbands who add something to the mix. If they are replaced, the new ladies need to have watchable husbands who are willing to film.
I have the feeling that Kathy doesn’t give a damn about anyone. She’s on billionaire level. Do you Kathy would take any of the ladies calls after filming? I bet she really doesn’t remember anyone’s name except Kyle’s.
*think (oh the agony!)
Who pays Erikas two assistants to travel with her and do her make up and hair? Where did she get her outfits? Also: Can I live like that on zero dollars?
The mistake these shows make us underestimating the intelligence of the audience.
She probably has a sugar daddy & earns her “zero dollars” aka cash under the table on her back/knees.
I don’t watch anymore but just from the recaps it’s apparent they need to keep Garcelle & Sutton. But by the same token it seems like these 2 ladies are way too good for this shit show.
And now that she has announced her readiness to use a strap-on the offers should be rolling in…
Whoever is doing her makeup these last couple episodes must be cheap AF. She looks like that muppet Janice. I actually thought she was doing her own (and had forgotten how after years of glam) until I saw those guys in her room tonight.
Fantastic comment! Muppet Janice! The eye make-up has been so bad! Looks like it was done by a 9 year old. When we get to see her in light make-up she really is a beautiful woman. The overdone bad make-up makes her look old and harsh.
I totally agree. But I HAVE A THEORY. This is the first time production has shown her in “glam” all season if I recall correctly. I think she insisted on hair and makeup for this trip and they agreed for a very small fee. And that is who she got. Or she picked up strangers on the street or something. Because those people were not worth a damn. And she’s looked like a streetwalker at 6am after a long shift.
She looked SO BAD at the “Armie Hammer” dinner. I really hate that latex shit she wears. But tge makeup was ATROCIOUS. She looked like a really really cheapie version of a blow-up doll that someone might ”win” at a carnival.
Haha love it so shady I swear when she was in her talking head interview she reminded me so much of the ‘the best little whorehouse in Texas movie… maybe that’s where they got their inspiration from lol
She may be willing to be a Sugar Baby, but who is lining up to support a 50 year old woman?? Los Angeles is absolutely drowning in gorgeous women who move from all over the country to pursue modeling and acting.
The Vanderpump Rules staff has stated that when they came in to interview for a job as a server or bartender (long before the TV show), they were asked to leave their headshots. Lisa, as other restauranteers, wanted beautiful waitstaff.
The other problem with hiring Erika to be one’s Sugar Baby is that she is in the news, and sometimes ambushed by papparazzi . What successful man wants his name/image linked to that mess? Especially if he’s married.
Erika stated before that she can’t figure out where all the the 💰millions 💵 of cash went???? 👀 Look in your closet. And she’s leaving with nothing?? Just leaving with millions of dollars in jewelry and clothes!!
Won’t they take all of that in bankruptcy and/or law suits??????
Something that may have gotten missed in all this is the cruelty of Lisa Rinna. Knowing that Crystal has body image issues and then convincing her to wear a bathing suit speaks volumes about her character. Lisa Rinna has a scary manipulative side.
I agree. That was low. But Crystal did look fabulous, much better than Lisa’s awful leggings.
It’s the first time all season that I like Crystal. Wearing a swimsuit on national TV for the first time can’t be easy. Doing so with a history of body issues shows bravery.
Wow- I completely forgot that but you are spot on. Rinna has to go – she’s become a caricature of herself.
Yes! I can’t stand Rinna anymore. Kyle is really showing her two-faced side as well. It was so mean and unnecessary to call attention to Sutton not speaking. I can’t believe that Kyle said on WWHL that she spoke to Erika yesterday after all the things Kyle has said in her confessionals about Erika. She tried to blame PK & Mauricio for the things said at dinner, but she & Dorit were there for it and loving it. They just don’t have the backbone Sutton does to say anything to Erika’s face.
Rinna is passive aggressive, manipulative, sneaky, jealous and a liar. What’s with her laugh now? Barking like a damn sea lion. She craves attention of any kind. How embarrassing. Did anyone notice how Erika eats? What the hell? She looks like Cruella de Ville eating a puppy. She hold her food in front of her mouth, open her mouth and actually curls her lip all while staring at the food. Then she sort of snaps at it. WHO EATS LIKE THIS??? My god, she is clueless. Kyle is a sociopath. she can hurt people and laugh. It dawned on me tonight that these women have never held a normal job, lived a normal life, had normal friends in their life and are not living in the real world. Maybe this is why they all make me sick. I don’t mind garcelle or sutton tho. Atleast they seem to have a barometer for what is bullshit. Unlike all the others. Thank God this season is over after the next episode but then it’s a 3 or 4 part reunion my niece told me. Is this true? I HIGHLY DOUBT that we will learn anything new about Erika.
Rinna’s cackling sends me over… she is beyond obviously phony.
^^ This!
What’s worse is her dancing…give it up already.
I literally laughed out loud reading your description of how Erica eats. Yes, I did see that and you described it perfectly. WHO DOES THAT??
I’m sure she didn’t want to ruin her lipstick but she looked ridiculous. I’d rather reapply my lipstick than snap at my food. What a weirdo.
I’m not sure I caught all of it right, but it looked to me like Lisa Rinna was wearing a black wig cut in a chinese baby doll haircut for next week’s Chinese New Year dinner. It remains to be seen if she was honoring or appropriating….
Why is it a “Chinese” baby doll haircut. Is everyone who eats Chinese food with chopsticks “appropriating?” When black women straighten their hair, Is it appropriating? When white women braid their hair, is that appropriating? When black women straighten their hair, is that appropriating? No one race owns any particular hairstyle.
The US is supposed to be a multicultural country where many cultures live together and adopt each other’s practices. When yankees say y’all is that appropriating?
Let’s stop looking for more reasons to divide the diverse cultures in the US.
Who died and left it up to you to decide if someone is appropriating or not?
CAN WE ALL JUST GET ALONG? Do we really want to condemn someone for the way they wear their fucking hair! ?
Get it done TT. Off with their heads. 👍
PREACH!!! 🙏🏼
I believe if you can read, that’s why I said honoring vs appropriating. The difference is behavior, intent and motive.
behavior, Intent,Motive seems like more thought and work than I think Lisa Rinna would put in. IMO she saw it just as a wig she decided to wear-nothing more.
I believe if you can read *it*
tomato tomahtoe…who effin cares?
I had better grow my bangs out before I walk through Chinatown tonight…Don’t want to be accused of “appropriating”
Let’s just pretend that this issue hasn’t come up before whether it was from OC, NY, Potomac, Atlanta and on BH, before, too. I’m not making a judgment on it. It’s an observation that something might happen with it next week.
So you are the arbitrator of intent and motive, EGGAL? Based on what is in a preview? My point was why are people hiding around corners looking for racism based on hairstyles. If we ever get to a point where there is no rampant apparent obvious egregious racism in the county and all that is left to find fault with is is “racist hairstyles” we will be a billion miles in the right direction. But if you insist upon seeking out racism based on hairstyles it is COMPLETELY WARRANTED in situations where white referees, principals etc insist that black athletes have to CUT THEIR HAIR in order to compete or attend school. THAT is racist. Or when Black Female Olympic Athletes cannot wear swim caps appropriate for their hair. That’s a worthy cause where you can focus on HAIR as the basis of racism. Claiming one race can wear bangs and another cannot is just STUPID.
AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD QUIT MAKING ME DEFEND LISA RINNA! 🙂
I cannot speak to Rinna’s INTENT. But, EGGAL is correct about that hairstyle being associated with stereotypes of a Chinese look. I thought perhaps it was an age gap thing, but NO. It still exists.
Just Google “China Doll Wig” and you will understand why she brought it up. I remembered the cheap versions being sold in SF Chinatown back in the 1960s — they were in plastic bags labeled “China Doll.” The look was popularized in the 1930s, part of some Shanghai glam look.
It does seem odd that Rinna chose that hairstyle for that celebration, but we won’t know why unless she is asked.
(BTW: I have worn some version of that hairstyle since the 1970s.)
What you are wearing is called a bob with bangs. You’re welcome.
When I first had it, it in the 1960s, it was called a pageboy or a Cleopatra.
After I chopped my hippie hair, in the 1970s, a long bob.
Then, it was called a shattered bob.
Now, it’s a bob with long layers. And bangs.
Sometime in the future, it will be a combover, with wispy bangs (not wispy by choice)!
Thank you Nanette. Perhaps this is more of a potential known entity to those of us who grew up in and around SF.
It should be obvious that I am not speaking to or of Lisa’s intent nor her motive, because as I said in the first post “It remains to be seen”. But apparently it’s not.
Anti-Chinese and other anti-Asian racism has a long painful history in California. Many have spoken and written of the myth of being a model minority and how that has taken away the truth of what has happened to some Asians in the United States. That same myth is also spoken of as a way to minimize, dismiss or silence concerns of Asian racism.
Again, none of us knows Lisa’s intention, motive or behavior in next week’s episode. This issue has come up across several franchises in the past which also had broad discussion and argument across many platforms when each episode aired. What I meant to do was foreshadow the potential for this to happen again in an upcoming episode.
I probably should have made my first post a bit longer with more background, but I didn’t want to be Dorit.
Absolutely! America is a melting pot. My favorite Italian restaurant is Italian-Asian fusion. It’s fabulous to take things from different cultures.
In fact, when you think of Italian food you probably think of a lot of dishes with tomato sauce. Well the tomato is a New World plant. Thank god the Italians decided to start cooking with it.
Well said! And, thank you, TT.
OMG TT–Thank you for saying this!!!
Now I know what Rinna reminds me of this season, those rabbits in the Duracell commercials, the way she pretends laughing in that weird way and repeating ‘All true!’ and ‘You’re so fun tonight!’ while clapping her hands. Ugh.
The latex outfit Erika was wearing is an interesting choice for morning a man. One more reason except money payed that Erika has a glam squad, seems to be laziness. Look how she just waits for that tennis ball hit the racket instead of doing any effort AT ALL. None.
And here we go down memory lane bullying someone again for being injured. Kyle & Kim against Brandi, and now Sutton was being mocked.
To sit where they did on the boat taking photos, le sigh.
This episode was difficult to watch, Sutton has had a very good reason to feel scared.
I used to like Kyle, but no more. The way she keeps turning on Sutton is awful.
Best part of the episode: Crystal. Her sadness over her dad, buying everyone wine in his honor and – best part – her apology to Sutton and hugging it out. Not one word or action rang false and I am now a convert – love her.
This! 1000%!🔼
They make me nauseous. Except Sutton and Garcelle. Maybe chrystal. Soon I hope it will be Erika who? I don’t know her. Oh the whore of Babylon you mean? Child please. 😤
Rhobh is over..they just don’t know it yet…no more for me
Erika looks like her face is melting, like it’s being dragged down at the sides. It’s so strange, is there something that’s like the opposite of a facelift? I can’t put my finger on it exactly. The only thing I can think of is some fancy procedure she was having and had to stop maybe? She was acting so weird tonight, I wonder if she is taking something to cope (not necessarily illegally). That just didn’t seem like wine to me.
I just want to say….I’ve been going through actual hell the past 3 years (won’t depress you all with the details) and by far the greatest distraction and only time I really authentically laugh anymore is when I’m reading this blog and the hysterical comments. THANK YOU!! 💜
Glad we can be here for you. I don’t know what the hell I’d be doing with my life if it weren’t for the Internet and you guys.
I’m sorry but how old are these women to play a game like that? I’m no prude. It’s such a pathetic attempt at any type of interaction. Next they’ll play telephone… They surely have not any kind story except for the butt kissing of their felon queen and her lies. I can’t believe Kyle is so willing to give up her spot to that bimbo.
Kyle has always been a back stabbing witch so she can be the top dog. Can Not Stand Her. Rinna either. She’s been on her knees sucking up to whoever secures her spot on the show each season.
Kathy leaves me cold. Not anything there that isn’t superficial. Crystal who??? Dorit, what??
I sure hope they clean house and leave Sutton and Garcelle. Or better yet cancel them all. The HW shows are dull and mean girl on repeat.
Great recap! I liked Crystal in this episode. She’s so pretty to look at and I like her best when she isn’t going after Sutton. Garcelle and Sutton are the queens of the show. I’m surprised the fox force five are still going so hard for Erika. I’m convinced there’s so much more to their devotion. Guarantee they have dirt on each other. I wonder which will be the first to crumble. Erika had a point, no matter what she does she’ll be judged. In a small way I sympathize with her. She’s still not a good person, though. Now that the show finished filming she needs to go into hiding. Her CVS photo opps aren’t helping.
Over whined and over bored. Have you looked at EJ Twitter? She retweet’s a news story which DRAGS her! Someone opined she must be setting up her “I don’t read anything” defense!
IMO, Rinna is on Adderal, and I do remember thinking “Is Erika high on pain meds?” I know the signs well as a former addict. Or Rinna could be sharing her supply.
Andy was on some talk show recently and did indeed say it was a 4 part reunion. I. Can’t. Wait.
Why do I get the feeling that Erika will be the next Gerardi to play the mentality impaired card. She was off her rocker this episode..
Erika has zero self awareness. How can you cry poverty and have a glam squad, designer clothes…Where are her lawyers!
It’s also not a good look Erika to admit that you were bullish-ting Sutton about apologizing, and being proud about it, proud about being a good liar. Idiot.
Kyle is despicable. Rinna is not a good person. Dorit is Dorit, fake and useless.
I think Kyle, Rinna, and Dorit are terrified that they can end up like Erika. Broke. Mauricio and PK are shady, just ask Kathy’s husband. I still don’t know how PK makes a living. Rumor has it that Rinna’s finances are shaky at best, and that’s why I think Erika has something on her.
Sutton and Garcelle are making these women look mean, stupid, and underhanded.
I agree. I’ve said it before too. This is all an act. Something ain’t right in the buttermilk or whatever Phaedra used to say.
When Ericka started saying how Tom has “helped so many people” it sounded like she was hoping others would step up to help Tom; kind of like how Erika’s mother had stated on Twitter that if the wives really care about the victims they could just help them with their own money. Just my opinion idk if it sounded that it might go in that tangent to anyone else
Yes that’s exactly what that sounded like, that Erica thinks someone else should payback the money Tom embezzled (and she spent obscenely).
Excellent comment Nat.
Sutton is my favorite. I hae all the rest of them. I hope Erika goes to prison, but, I doubt it. T.T. how is Banjo? I’ve been praying for you both.
Thanks Trish. We always appreciate prayers in this house. We are doing as well as can be expected. The prednisone continues to help him a lot. He’s also on CBD oil. He is eating well and and drinking plenty of water and back chasing squirrels in the back yard… kinda lol. He’s always had a bit of trouble with his back legs. I took him to three separate vets even driving him to Athens to see the vets there and no one knew what it was. Surgery (for what they don’t understand) was recommended at that time. Then his former regular vet put him on prednisone and he was walking within hours. I still worry every time is does anything out of the ordinary. Like farting. LOL. I have never heard him fart in the 12 or so years I have had him, but the past couple of days, it’s become his new thing. LOL. I hope he lives to fart a lot longer. 🙂
That dog is so frickin’ cute–here’s to many squirrels, singing and farting years ahead of him!
Crystal bougt Rinna wine, and Rinna thanked her in the moment. But did she follow uyp with a note, or a phone call? I bet Crystal would have really liked to have shown her husband a thank you note, to show him how appreciative Rinna was. It would have been nice. And did she thank Kathy for the trip? Did she send Kathy a note? I know Rick would have loved seeing a note and knowing that Rinna enjoyed her stay at Hilton property, That Garcelle & Rinna moment was literally “You are a bad person because you do hurtful things and are untrustworthy.” countered with “Yes, but you know once you were very kind and generous, but you know, I would have liked it better had you been more kind. Try working on that. OK?”
Best comment! And where is my thank you note for watching this shit show. Lol
Rinna and Kyle are equal on the attention seeking scale. Both are pretty obnoxious, loud, interrupters. If they are criticized for anything, especially Kyle, can’t get to a phone fast enough to retell things, and deny all wrong doing on her part. Rinna admits she wasn’t nice just prior to the new season, thinking everyone else e will like her again. I, too, think she is hopped up on something regularly. Always been suspicious of her baggie of the rainbow of pills she says she never is without. If you don’t take them often, you will forget what is what, and what person of family that does the things they do needs several meds daily. Unless you are traveling, who Carrie’s vitamins around. From what I read, Beverly Hills area is full of “users” of something or things. It is so obvious who in this group has class. You don’t if you are attacking others and are overly defensive about yourself. I’d much prefer a meal with Sutton and Garcielle. The fox 4 would make me so irritated, I’d have major indigestion. They are like happy hounds on a hunt.
Yappy hounds
Honest to god strangest episode I’ve seen in all the RH episodes I’ve ever seen.
1. What in the fuq was Erika talking about when she said people she sleeps with need to stfu? As far as I’ve seen there has only been one rumor with her living in the same building as Armie Hammer.
2. Who has Erika done all this kinky stuff with? I’m not buying this persona.
3. At what point has Erika ever been fun? I’ve never seen a episode with her and just thought “damn that girl is a good time!”
4. Wtf, Kyle? You’re being an asshole to Sutton. Why do you think Sutton isn’t talking?
I truly believe that none of these women believe Erika. They’re taking the same approach that politics plays – create two teams and put them against each other and all players must choose their side. Hence the fox force five bullshit. I think these women look at all the possible outcomes for a season and align themselves with who they think will have the most interesting storyline. This also helps them hide their own dirt being used as a storyline. Im not sure exactly how they go about this but it’s what’s making all RH shows unbearable. Remember when there were no teams and the drama was mixed around several different people? I miss those days.
Overall, I think all of the RH shows are living on borrowed time. They bring people on for a few seasons, fire them, bring old cast members back, and it’s boring. I love how these shows started with people who all lived close to each other and actually knew each other and every moment wasn’t manufactured and pre planned. It’s just so manipulative.
I never thought about this before. It must be a drag to have Erika as a friend. She isn’t fun. She doesn’t laugh. She can’t hang.
I agree….well mostly😂. This season has for me been breathtakingly different as real s**** is going down of great importance, NOT the petty squabbles of most seasons. I should state I don’t mind the petty squabbles as for the most part no great harm is done and the contrived telephone miscommunications drive fasciae entertainment. This is what my brain needs at times. I love this franchise because I can dip into beautiful sunny Californian weather and wonderful backgrounds. It could be easy to envy these women, but I despite the overly pretentious and wannabe costars, just love it. Personally I feel Kyle gets such a bad press , clearly she’s no angel but hands down she doesn’t measure up to the attacks she seems to have. Speaking as someone who moved decades ago in the social circles of LVP, I can truly believe how LVP can be shrewdly manipulative. This is an asset in many situations, but when it comes to destroying somebody’s integrity it’s another matter. However although I believe 100% she was behind puppygate, I don’t believe she had entertained the actual outcome, probably the same way as Girardi had thought he could control his own stuff, until he couldn’t!.
This is why this season has been so different. Mostly I believe Erika must have known that Tom was funding her from his firms funds or at least leveraged the funds on his firm. It’s probably a thing that he wouldn’t tell anybody, in terms of the fact that that money was needed to pay his clients.. he won’t be the first business to Rob Peter to pay Paul. What is so bad, is the lack of remorse Erika has shown. The makeup thing was dodgy, as for the life of me, on every franchise the use of triangular tissues to dab tears has always annoyed me… but here suddenly the opposite occurs. Maybe she was so overwhelmed, she wasn’t prepared….maybe she was overly prepared. She isint an easy person to like… I really had high hopes when she started. She seems socially awkward, except in the company of gay men. That doesn’t make her a bad person. However PK hit the nail on the head, her social media portrayed a woman who at best was indifferent to the plight of Girardis victims. Then the ploy of being papped whilst shopping in Primark which followed, was enough for me to want to vomit. Erika, who has sniffed at the great unwashed IMO and overtly TOSSED HER WEALTH as well as her lust to have even more, into the laps of viewers for years, suddenly tries to flip her values. Values that don’t add up whilst she still has her glam and is barely living in a hovel.
The last episode was so contrary as she reminded costars how much Tom had done for her family and how now he’s been left to fend for himself, as poor as a church mouse. SPEEXHLESS, clearly there’s so much more to this. I firmly believe Tom did create a Ponzi scheme to fund their lifestyle, that he thought he could control. New clients dried up because of their lifestyle plus Covid and his failing capacity. Erika most likely didn’t understand the situation, but must have known that Tom could be only funding from funds leveraged on his firm and property. The divorce just doesn’t ring true. Yes there were TERRIBLE wrong doings but so long as the victims get paid, both Tom and Erika have paid the price for their greed. At least I hope they will have.,
All these costars live in glasshouses. I’m pretty sure if KH. stays for another season, she will fall from grace. Her eccentric behaviour maybe endearing now, but the honeymoon won’t last forever. Lisa Rinna should be everything I loathe, but she has a much greater capacity to own her own flaws as well as to work on them. On the flip side I think she has the power to carry a grudge for a loooongtime! Crystal has just been FILLING..at times she almost seems sociopathic, totally unable to relate to others. Her issue with Sutton, made me feel sad for Sutton, whom I also didn’t like much because of her skewed values around wealth. Garcelle I really liked, until the victim card was played. Now I’m reserving judgement.
Yep this season has been great for Bravo, as they have shoved Erika into the target spots to be hounded for answers that maybe she couldn’t or legally wouldn’t be able to answer. Her response to Sutton was beyond ugly and did her no favours. Sutton had not got her facts sorted out, and like Dorit, I agree that Erikas brevity with the truth did her no favours, but in terms of medical confidentiality why was she compelled to release full details in the first place? Erikas too smart to state on the media events that didn’t happen, that would be so easy to ratify. It’s just that gaping holes arise in how she knows about them?
Can’t wait for the four part reunion. It’s going to be off the scale. This is when true colours will be revealed. EVERYBODY HAS AN OPINION, But who is right?
I normally really like RHOBH, it’s one of the few I continue to watch. When Erika and Rinna stated on the show, I really liked them too. Seems that I have finally been convinced that they both suck. Everytime they are on screen they are either lying or attacking someone. Such a bummer. Dorit also sucks but WAY less than Rinna and Erika. So glad Sutton and Garcelle are on the show to balance out my hatred of the other two. They have really grown on my the past two seasons. So tired of hearing the poor Erika narrative.
After this “4 part” reunion….I promise I’m done with this show if there aren’t serious cast changes. I will continue to follow this Girardi/Erika fraud but I can do that on my own and get actual facts. Kyle takes sides with the Sutton/Rina gala ticket dispute essentially calling Sutton a liar but refuses to honestly acknowledge Erika and her sham? How can you listen to someone claim to be broke living in a 10K sq foot home, still has glam, sipping champagne, taking private jets to lord knows where….give me a break. And Rinna….enough already. If her fat lips are moving, she is lying. Does she have a genuine bone in that body? It’s been a season of Erika spinning her stupid ever changing lies week after week.
What about Rinna wearing clothes, after telling Crystal she was wearing a bathing suit? She knew
Crystal had body issues, talked to her and never let her know. Shows her true colors more and more.
I wish there was some way Kyle and Rinna would leave the show.
Erika should be gone next season., as she said she is “broke” and no longer a housewife.
I hope the victims can get what they deserve. How she acts on here, is a slap in the face to them all.
I either heard it incorrectly, or not … After reading this recap and comments, I rewatched the part where Erika is talking about her “very untraditional mother-son relationship” and how her son asked her about her neighbor (Armie Hammer). She went on about how her son said, “I’m getting so —— tired of you and your LIES*, and your disasters…”
I wasn’t looking at the TV, but I replayed it and heard and SAW the captions,which say “lies.” Tamara heard “life” and sometimes when I play it, it sounds like “life,” sometimes “lies.”
IF IT IS “LIES,” then Erika slipped up big time. Because that would mean Sonny Boy thinks she’s lying.
I actually heard LIES the first time and had to stop and rewind. Pretty sure it was life.
The more I listen, the more I hear LIFE.
BUT I WANT it to be lies.
The reason I turn on Closed Captions is for things like this. About 20% of the time, they are wrong. About 50% of the time, they are way behind the speakers and when they get to the part I can’t understand, they skip over that part. It is very frustrating. But at least they are free.
So wait what are the conspiracy theories about Rinna? I’ve read here forever but haven’t commented yet!!
Hi Gem Girl I have been deep into the Big Brother after show interviews. Ron Richards the attorney for the trustee of the Girardi bankruptcy keeps trying to throw Rinna under the bus. He does not cite any evidence and it seems like he is trying to be a housewife himself.
Thanks for commenting! And welcome to the FAMBILY. WE ARE THIS AS THEIVES and now you are one of us.
I’m a little late with my comments. I’m probably the only one that is glad there will be 4 reunion shows. I don’t want it to end. I really loved RHOBH this season.
Erika was one of my favorites. Now I might like her even less than LVP.
My new favorite housewives to watch are Sutton, Kathy, and Garcelle.
I like PK and I’m glad he had good season. He kind of melted my heart a while ago when he was doing a keto diet because the fans were making fun of him. A man who shows his vulnerability gets to me every time — actually women do also.
I loved the scene with Muricio and PK laughing about ankle surgery vs brain surgery.
Kyle is being nasty to Sutton. I can’t wait for Sutton to have enough and put Kyle and Erika in their places.
I’ve never really seen this side of Kyle.
If Tom really has dementia I feel bad for him. No matter what anyone has done I don’t with that on anyone.
Did I mention Erika is horrible?? I can’t believe I was that bad of a judge of character.
Never seen Kyle be nasty before? How about when she outed her sister’s problems and tried to attack her in the limousine? How about when she and Kim bullied an injured Brandi during game night at Pam’s house? This one may not be clear to everyone to everyone but she definitely tried to gaslight Camille with the Kelsey comment that she denied making. Two examples that easily come to mind,
ITA!!
Kyle has been a conniving bitch from the beginning. What she did to Kim was unconscionable. Her own sister who supported the family!! She had to be top dog and stopped at nothing to get there.
I have started to rewatch some parts of earlier seasons of RHOBH and yes, it is easy to forget what has happened before like bullying. Very interesting to get reminded of some stuff.
One of my favourite clips (especially now) is when little Jagger shows up dressed up to his teeth for Dorit’s birthday dinner, and says immediately ‘Bad guy!’ twice when PK put him on a chair facing Erika.
Sutton throwing shade at Erika in her confessional “his wife isn’t there to take care of him.” is everything.
Can anybody tell me what the stick-on thingies are that the ladies often wear under their eyes early in the morning and prior to getting ready?
It’s an eye mask. They moisturize. Now they have specific masks (or patches) for all sorts of places: chin, neck chest. Love them all!
They reduce under eye circles I think they are collagen patches. It’s like the cucumber on the eye at the spa.
I’m not sure if the efficacy and why they wear them on camera. Kinda like wearing rollers I guess
There are all kinds of them and they do reduce like bags under your eyes and such and just moisturize and tighten. You can get cheap ones or super expensive ones. I have some that I keep in the fridge. I use them from time to time. It’s like a face mask for the under eyes.
Thanks to you all! Where can you buy them?
Pretty much anywhere makeup is sold. Probably even CVS has them places like Ulta or Sephora will probably have 36 different kinds. They may even have them on the makeup aisle at the grocery store. There is a wide range of prices but most are not expensive. I’m sure the ones the RHOBH use are. 🙂 I have gotten most of mine in goody bags and they feel nice but I don’t see a lot of effect.

This link has lots of choices. But you can literally pick them up at any drug store.
Thanks! Evidently, I’ve been living under a rock.
I have a sweet friend who really took care of me during the pandemic. She sent me N95 masks when they were hard to find anywhere and tons of antibiotic wipes and SPRAY BLEACH which I had never used before and am now addicted to. And she always included little things to cheer me up. That was my first experience with the eye patches and clay eye masks and all sort of goodies including some very fancy perfume that I am LOVING. I am truly blessed.
Its amazing that Kathy Hilton and Kyle are doing their own hair & makeup and Erika has brought some horrible glam squad w/her while she claims she has zero $$$. Kyle absolute 2 faced B—-tch!!! especially when it comes to Sutton. So mean. Gross how Kyle, Rinna, Dorit, Crystal suck up to Erika!! Yet Kyle and Dorit’s interviews are somewhat different and they talk about victims but never to Erikas face! They all fear her. Rinna defends Erika no matter what. I also think Kyle can’t take the fact that Sutton has quickly becoming a fan favorite. These women need the deflection from their own legal/financial lawsuits. Dorit selling home she’s been in for 2 minutes again. It’s ironic that Erika’s main income now (Bravo) is probably the reason she and hubby are in this legal situation in the first place. and her acting and changing stories….
Good point about the scenes v the confessionals. Maybe that’s the loophole for them when they said it was early and to wait and see… they covered themselves by being more outspoken in the confessionals as the season wore on. Too bad they had already bullied Sutton into “just being honest.”
Nat, yes to this excellent comment!!
Remind me again: Why did Erika file for divorce from Tom?
I know the real reason. What’s the lie again? Thanks.
That’s a good question. Erika said that he was talking to her less and less. Then she claims he’s verbally abusive (without using those exact words.) He tells a colleague at dinner, that if he can afford her, he can have her. And she’s paying a “human cost” (for her lifestyle) Then, he talks to her like she’s an employee. None of her allegations give an exact reason for divorce. I think that’s why she said he cheated on her. But that alleged affair was a long time ago. The only reason for divorce that makes any sense is that the money ran out. But that makes her look bad, so she makes up all this other stuff in hopes that something sticks.
