Kim Richards
We are finally at the place we have all been waiting for, the final episode of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. This has been a dark and depressing season. By dark and depressing of course I mean Bravo decided to be disrespectful by having loyal viewers watch two women, one a liar and one an addict, crawl their way through crap. It is fitting that my final blog of the season be balls to the wall. Buckle up people.
Before I address the show, I want to clarify a few of things. It is my opinion that:
Adrienne is useless on this show.
Brandi is a star and what this show needs.
Camille has paid her dues and come out golden.
Dana is even more useless than Adrienne.
Kim never should have been on this show.
Kyle is a bitch and a twat.
Lisa is too good for these skanks.
Taylor is a pathological liar.
Now that we have that out of the way, let’s talk about the final episode of the reunion, and the end of the season. Andy is still talking to Taylor about her stupid book of lies. I know people are sensitive about abuse, but I feel quite comfortable saying that I do not believe Taylor’s claims about Russell. She is rehearsed, sounds fake, and he is not here to defend himself. I feel sick for his kids that she is doing this to their dad.
Taylor is talking about a time when she was with friends, and they were witness to his abuse. He apparently knocked out the friend and tried to drown her. When he almost killed her, the friend miraculously came to, and had $10K worth of plastic surgery. Is she high? Come on Taylor. It’s not true and with all the people who are questioning you, just get the friend to come forward, and confirm what you are claiming.
We are supposed to believe he dislocated her jaw and she snapped it back in over the toilet? Seriously, I’m not buying it. Sorry. Brandi is not having it either, says she thinks it’s horrible for Taylor to talk about it all when he cannot defend himself, and Taylor looks at her with a glazed look of “You can’t get me off my script”. I cannot listen to her spew her crapfest any longer so I am moving on from this horrific bitch.
Dana comes on to talk and seriously I could care less. I thought she as useless on the show and she is forgettable now. She is desperate to be famous but she is not appealing and her fiance is a schmuck. This chick is a whack job and with all the money she has, couldn’t she get better extensions? I’ve interviewed her and she was sweet, but that does not translate here. I’m skipping over her so I don’t fall asleep.
Mauricio, Ken, and Paul join the ladies and while nothing they are saying is even remotely interesting, there was some interesting things of note. Adrienne looks at Paul with palpable disgust and I find it unnerving. Ken is darling and he and Lisa are very cute. Mauricio is handsome to be sure, but his wife is disgusting so what does that say about him? Kyle we love your husband, but even he can’t change how we see you.
Kim comes on to talk about her experience and here’s the thing, it was heartbreaking. This woman, who we all grew up loving, is a mess and that she is on this show is horrific. Kyle brought her on the show, knowing she was an addict, which speaks volumes about who Kyle is as a sister and a human being. I think the best thing Kim can do for herself is stay off of this show and away from her mean spirited and selfish sister.
I am of the belief that Kim was high for this interview. She was speaking slowly and slurred, was aware, but out of it, and it made me sad. I wish this woman well and will keep her in my prayers. I think the question is not whether or not Kim will return to the show next season, but if she will be alive next season. This is a tragedy waiting to unfold and God willing we will not be reading about her overdosing alone somewhere.
Kim has avoided watching the show all season as it’s too had for her, yet Andy tells her he has it if she wants to watch it. She just got out of rehab, is clearly still struggling, and he offers up her humiliation on a silver platter? Andy Cohen is a whore and this was disgusting. I love Andy but this was a massive lapse of judgment and he should have respected Kim enough to leave her alone. You are Jackhole of the week Andy.
Kyle joins Kim and Andy and it’s repulsive. Kyle makes me want to hurl. She cannot allow her sister to have any success without hanging onto it. Kyle Richards is happy when her sister fails so she can look better. Kyle saying that she does not regret having her sister on the show, when she sees what the pressure did to her, tells me that Kyle cares about Kyle. She is her sister’s biggest enemy and it’s too bad.
This final hour of the show was just too much. Why did Kim have her purse? To hold her drugs. Why was Kyle there with Kim? Because she cannot stand the attention being on anyone but her? This year was horrible, with the only good thing being the introduction of Brand Glanville. Brandi, Camille and Lisa are the beginnings of a good show. If they dump Kyle and Adrienne, and keep Kim, they will have gold. Come on Bravo. Stop being douchelords, and start keeping it real.

When Taylor was describing those 2 friends and the dog that Russell was supposedly had thrown into the pool, I had to laugh out loud.
To believe this crapola, one would have to accept that Russell, alone, overpowered this couple, Taylor, and the damned dog without anyone raising a hand to stop him or call the police. And these people were treated at a hospital for their wounds? How about the animal abuse?
Who are they? Bring them forward? Give us names? But they refused to bring charges agains this “monster” out of deference to Taylor and Kennedy? Are you kidding me!!!!!!!!
I couldn’t have said it better myself! I agree 110% with everything you wrote! Taylor is a lying hateful robot with the coldest heart I’ve ever seen! She has no remorse for anything she’s said or done. She comes off as a pathological liar! I will not be watching Bravo if they bring her back. As for Kim, she clearly is still under the influence of something. Whether it be prescriptions drugs or illicit, it’s something and she still doesn’t seem right nor in full recovery mode so to speak. I feel that she is the one who owes her family an apology and not the way she sees it, saying Brandi does. Brandi said what everyone was thinking and those women are all cowards for not addressing the situation earlier. I love your blogs and tweets, keep on keepin it real!!
Spot on, soup to nuts! You’ve done great work- excellent pieces- on a really disturbing season.
When Brandi tried to apologize to Taylor, Taylor was adamant that Brandi ’ started it’ well I didn’t delete last weeks episode so I went back to see what the truth was. Turns out Taylor was wrong. She talked about Brandi slashing her x husbands tires before Brandi brought up the book.
I thought Kim did a great job - she’s really unbelievably open and frank about her struggles. It’s really hard for people talk about having anxiety and it can be a really debilitating illness. It can be hard to get the right mix of medication and very dangerous if someone is hiding and self-medicating outside of a Dr.‘s care. Sounds like she’s trying to deal with it in a healthy way and she deserves alot if credit for that. Hopefully someone out there suffering from anxiety is inspired to get help also. That said, at this point it probably would be better for her recovery to be off of the show, especially since filming apparent got her off-track last time. I thought Kyle was supportive and I think her intentions were good. It’s rough when someone you love is struggling - I think she did the best she knew how.
I don’t like Taylor, but I’m going to stand up for her. Russell had restraining orders granted to his former wife and girlfriend. He was convicted of battery against the wife. He has a track record of abusing women, and I think Taylor’s personality was a perfect set up for being abused. She wanted the lifestyle, and knew that if she reported him a second time, he would probably go to jail. I think it’s sick and sad how they acted, but to single her out seems harsh. I’m an M.D., and everything she has said about her orbital blowout fracture rings true. There might not have been a blackeye until after the surgery, and that usually happens a few weeks later so swelling can go down. Once she made the decision to leave him, she started to document the abuse. Her shrink and her surgeon should have reported Russell to the police, but hey, it’s Beverly Hills. I’m sure if Russell killed himself, the thought of Taylor finally pressing charges was a part of it.
I might be totally naive, but I can’t imagine anyone would just completely make up horrible lies about the father of her child on national t.v. Keep in mind, russels ex-wife said he was abusive.
Taylor has issues, but I don’t think she is as evil as you say.
Please that story was soooo ridiculous. She said they were walking out to the car, while Russell hid in the bushes, mind you, when he attacked them and pushed them into the pool…In the front yard? That little man took on three people and a dog? These lies are indefensible. Recording devices? On all day?? When would he have listened to these devices? The CIA needs teams of people to monitor wire taps. This is just stoopid.
I agree with absolutely every word you’ve written. I can’t add a thing.
I agree with the previous poster..your recap is spot on. Andy seems a bit clueless the way he goes from dark tragedy to frivolous amusement. There is nothing funny about this season except Dana’s ridiculous shoes.
I don’t understand why Andy wanted to show Kim clips of her behavior. It was kicking her when she was down and then to bring Kyle out to kick her down some more?
I turned off the TV.
Everything Kim said sounded like Kyle talking. Kim blames Brandi? Brandi is the only one who called it out. Everyone should be thanking her for addressing the elephant in the room.
Whole season was disturbing. I like Brandi, Camille, and Lisa, but I don’t think I can stomach another season knowing what has passed.
could not have agreed with you more had i written this recap myself. you literally took the words out of my mouth…love lisa & brandi!
I thought that showing this season may have shed some light on some real issues. But it hasn’t. Kim still looks really sad and Taylor still appears to be a manipulative, rehearsed, embellisher of events. I don’t really know anything more about their struggles now than I did at the beginning of the season. Taylor may have been abused, but Camille was right. Taylor’s not totally honest about what happened and that’s not cool. One final thing. I perceived her emotional comment to her mysterious friends about taking care of Kennedy “if something happens to me” a calculated attempt to elicit viewer’s sympathies. Her tears don’t make sense since the fear of physical harm at the hands of Russell is gone. Her only message to me from this show is, that if you wait long enough, maybe your abuser will die.
My comments are about the husbands. Paul: One can hope that he leaves that cold fish and finds a woman who doesn’t find him repulsive and is able to get a new start in life with her. He doesn’t need Adrienne for any reason. Mauricio isn’t as innocent as we all think he is. Go back and watch the trip to Hawaii and his behavior at the dinner. He was goading his guests instead of waiting for the proper time to confront them, and making everyone uncomfortable in the process. Ken next. I want to marry him but I may have to fight Brandi for the honor!
Once again, I believe that there was an element of abuse in the Armstrong marriage. But Taylor stayed in the marriage for all the wrong reasons. She had the resources to leave, more than most women who flee in the middle of the night to a shelter, not to the mansion of a rich friend. I was once in an abusive relationship, and if I still were, I would not look to Taylor Armstong as a role model. I would not think “If Taylor can do it, so can I.”
I agree 95% of this blog. These filthy riched and highly educated women have signed their ‘death’ certificates with BravoTV. It’s a SHAME.
The Reunion of 3 parts was a ‘downer’ and ‘disaster’. My opinion, it was completely TArmstrong’s angle that was full of crap and DWilkey was useless. KRichards was so fullof sh%tskies and Kim was so pitiful and broken. Sorry but no sympathies here on OUR end!!!!!
Just want to comment that this is the most well written blog! One can only HOPE that someone from Bravo TV reads this and gets a CLUE!!!
Ilana you are brilliant!! I so agree with everything! I will say xtra prayers for Kim as Kyle said someone saying Kims on Meth on camera will follow SO they lie abt her addiction. Sure she is probable on meds for anxiety/depression BUT Brandi called it & until they(kim) admits it she will never get better!! 30 days was not enough for someone with Kims emotional/substance abuse issues!! Taylor saying poor kyle helping sis not well..well she damn sure didnt care last season abt Kim & she had obvious issues last season too!!!
I am a caregiver for 2 adult mentally challenged persons..I know what I know!!
Kyle took big hit last season so this she pretends to be the caring tortured sister of Kim & blames all her bad behavior on her stress from Kim BUT Camille can’t say her behavior last season was her marriage falling apart..wtf…so glad it’s over!! Love Brandi,Lisa,Camille..Love Ken & Paul..Best to all..
Your analysis of all the women is spot on. Trailor makes me sick with her lies. That story she told was such BS, I wanted to punch her in the face myself.
I too believe that you can’t believe a word out of Taylor - Shana’s mouth. I can’t believe that she would willingly stay with a man who beat her , and now her friends? All this so she can have that Beverly Hills lifestyle? She put her daughter in such a dangerous situation ? Funny how when she describes her abuse she looks down , around & never in Andy’s face. Kim is not sober. She was clearly on something during that interview. I think Adrienne is jealous of Lisa’s money. I have read many articles stating that the Maloof fortune is in jeopardy. If Bravo brings back Taylor , I will not watch the show out of respect to the women who really were abused & took their children & lived in a shelter& got them out of that environment, like I did. Yes Taylor , I too have been abused , my husband did commit suicide , do I have walked in a real abused women’s shoes, you , do not!
Mwah! You’ve hit the nail on the head again! The biggest disappointment last night? They ended the show with Kyle and Kim. I believe Kim was stoned, too. Forgive me, but if you’re trying to get clean and sober, isn’t forgiveness a part of that? To receive forgiveness, mustn’t one practice forgiveness? I’m sure Kim’s family is more concerned about Kim than Brandi. Taylor? Not worth mentioning. Adrienne? By the contempt that she shows Paul and if she doesn’t want him, I’LL TAKE HIM! He’s beautiful and exactly the kind of man I would want in my life! LOVE LOVE LOVE Lisa, Ken, and Camille. Brandi? Still too potty-mouthed for me. She needs to classy it up a bit.
Did you notice that I didn’t mention Dana or Kyle?
I agree with everything you wrote. Bravo needs to get rid of the dead weight (looking at you Dana) and crazies (Kim & Taylor). Brandi needs to be on fulltime to lighten things up. Thanks for the great blogs, Ilana!
To JH: Taylor was photographed immediately after the supposed orbital blowout and there was NO swelling. As an M.D. what is your opinion now? Do these happen with no swelling, no hemorrhaging in the eye itself, no black eye at time of injury, and apparently no pain as she was attending functions and parties and drinking which you cannot do safely on painkillers (and without it being obvious due to drug interactions)?
Hi Ilana! Happy valentine’s Day! I completely agree with you on EVERYTHING!! Taylor is so full of crap I cannot stand it anymore! She is just disgusting! I am on team Brandi as well…she is a spitfire! Lisa and Camille and Brandy, I feel, are human beings and make sense and to good for the other twats!
When Kim came on all I could think was dear lord she is gonna relapse again soon…she is such a mess and it was truly heartbreaking and uncomfortable to watch her. How could douche bag Andy show her those clips??
Kims saying she will never forgive Brandi? Part of recovery is letting go of resentment and forgiving. She was pretty awful to Brandi as well and I think she just does not remember alot of it so that makes it ok.
Next week, its back to Bitch Bethenny!
If I had Kyle for a sister, I would be whacko, too. Hope that the sisters, Adrienne and Taylor dissappear and we never see them again. Brandi is right, Taylor is now trashing a man who can never defend himself. Love Brandi, Camille and Lisa.
I wholeheartedly agree with everything ...EXCEPT when it comes to Lisa.
There is something insidiously cold and conniving about her that makes me think she’ll end up being the Jill Zarin of Beverly Hills.(Mark my words!)
Remember she has been BEST friends with the most petty and meaniest girl, Kyle.
Kim herself said she was on medication to treat her anxiety - she walked in the room game night and told everyone she was on medication and she told Andy last night she was on medication. Anxiety takes your body over and she said herself she has a high level of it. It’s not unusual for someone with anxiety to self-medicate with alchol as well and she definitely got off track and she admitted it and her behavior reflected that but I didn’t see that erratic behavior last night. It just seems disrespectful to denigrate someone who is taking the proper treatment for their illness. I admire what she did last night - she was level-headed, articulate about her condition, showed humility and also a little levity as well which is probably very encouraging for someone who may need the same type of help.
Taylor has issues alright. Her issue is that she is a habitual liar. She cannot stop herself.
She will twist everyone’s words to her benefit. Even when it’s caught on camera!! She won’t fess up!
She insist what the viewers saw and heard didn’t happen that way. This woman has got to go. She will never change and
her need to be with rich people is so sick that she will stop at nothing. And buying into her lies just doesn’t help her.
And this woman this help ASAP!
I agree with everything said in this blog. For me Dana and Taylor definitely have to go. I seriously cannot take another minute of watching Taylor’s huge lips/mouth screaming or crying. I’m sorry but that was hard to watch. The only thing is if Bravo keeps Camile, Brandi and Lisa who’s gonna be the “bad girls” on the show? Unfortunately these shows like to keep the bad girls for fear the show will be boring. I see being on some new girls and let them be bad
I thought I was the only one that noticed the purse….had to be her stash, didn’t want it out of her sight!
Ilana,
AWESOME REVIEW!!! You totally keep it real! Love your blog, and I totally agree with everything you wrote!
We’ve seen Taylor be threatening (go Oklahoma on Kim), menacing (confronting Lisa) & even needing to be physically restrained (towards DeeDee & Camille) so it’s not a big stretch to imagine that the Armstrong household was an aggressive environment that included some form of physical &/or emotional abuse. Taylor has also shown us that she distorts the facts consequently making her less sympathetic.
Kim is making an effort & is under professional medical care so we wish her well. She quite obviously has a long way to go.
Both of these ladies need to heal away from public scrutiny & the viewing public deserves better than to be traumatized by their shenanigans. It’s one thing to want drama but this is unhealthy.
I cannot agree with your love of Andy Cohen. He’s reprehensible.
I felt so bad for Kim she really shouldn’t be on television. As for Andy if airing this season wasn’t bad enough, or calling Camille out for doing what any human being outside of reality tv does and then calling her boring and playing it too safe, interviewing Kim a hot minute after her stint in rehab and then trotting out all her gaffes from the season was the ultimate in sleaze. Oh wait who takes the blame for allowing Taylor a public forum to lie, lie, and lie some more??? She definitely takes the cake in the sleaze department.
Great recap!! I hope they don’t bring anyone from the loser couch. Bradi, Camille, and Lisa are interesting people who I like to watch. The others are fame whores and boring. Taylor makes me sick. Kyle and Kim too
BRAVO Ilana ! you rock and I have agreed with almost everything and everyone you blog about. Taylor is the monster and on another note Bethanny Frankel is equally horrific but each of them in their own special ways. Keep writing and I’ll keep reading.
ABCD - very clever! Yes, Adrienne is so boring and I can’t stand her voice or clothes. Taylor is the most vile human being, and it IS tragic Bravo has given her a platform to trash her dead husband. I believe there may have been some abuse, but this woman is out of control with her deluded stories. Kim Richards is still drunk and probably STILL using drugs. Kyle will be nothing on the show next season if she can’t bad mouth her sister.
I was wondering about the purse too!! She must be keeping her pills close!!
BTW, I still don’t see any crow recipes from Taylor! bwhahahaha!
Once again, a brilliant write-up!
My sentiments exactly.
I felt so sorry for Kim-yet proud of her as well. I think she is on many meds that cause the slurring of speech and flat affect. Perhaps they’re new to her & she’ll adjust. I do like her a lot. I cannot tolerate Kyle/Adrienne after the Lisa massacre. Dana is benign and should go…
Taylor was to me, absolutely hysterical! She must think this is an audience full of puppets…what an unbelievable, pathological liar. At this point, she can’t even make up a good lie-they’are all preposterous! Bravo will get sucked into her lawsuits with salary questions…& then hopefully, she’s GONE!!! If she’s on again, I really believe Bravo will lose huge ratings. Lisa is a gem!!!! I hope they do bring Brandi back-at least she’s honest & fun!
Most women stay in abusive relationships because they fear for their lives but TA stayed for future earnings, which is digusting to real victims. She had her own income from the show and her own business. Her BS story about the Russell drowning her, another couple and a dog is completely fabricated. I am sure she took some other victims story and bended it to her “storyline” for her book. I wish that victim would come forward and out her for stealing her story or a “part”of her story.
NO ONE has confirmed any of her stories. Also the fact that everyone involved is willing to bend the law for TA. Doctors, Therapists, Hospitals, unknown Couples, and even dogs are willing to stay silent about the abuse. According to TA, Russell was the craftiest abuser ever to not get caught or reported by anyone.
Hypocrite by definition: A person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings.
aka- Kyle Richards.
Kyle is so critical of Brandy using “bad” language. She rolls her eyes and acts high and mighty.
I want to know how Kyle felt for all of the years before RHOBH about her favorite niece? Kyle was always seen with Paris and Nikki Hilton. Paris became famous because of a SEX TAPE. Kyle was always photographed shopping, dining, traveling with her nieces. She wanted fame and they had it.
Her darling niece Paris had a reality show where she called everyone “bitches”. How does Kyle feel about the amazing role model Paris is for her daughters? Going out in the outfits she wore without underwear and flashing photogs…. Using tons of drugs. Having sex with tons of men and being very public about all of it.
more to come…
Kyle lives for the spotlight. She shot the cover of her book BEFORE she wrote the book! Who does that? She is giving fashion, marriage, parenting, style, life advice? She should not be giving anyone advice.
I would like to know how many people Kyle & her husband pay on staff. Housekeepers, nanny’s, assistants, etc… I am sure Kyle doesn’t cook, clean, laundry, put anything away, book travel, take care of her children, etc… She pays people & tells them what to do so she can practice the splits & fake crying in the mirror.
She is offended by so many things. WE should all be offended by her. She makes fun of everyone and acts as if she knows how to behave. She never admits fault for her actions, words or choices.
She was in Hawaii, in a hotel room w/ her husband and rather than mind her own business and act like a grownup, she is climbing over the wall on the balcony to spy on her sister. Is this how an adult who gives advice on how to live should behave? Nope.
f I ever hear Kyle fake cry or see her do the splits again, I might poke my eye out with a sharp object.
She and Taylor are a match made in heaven.
Vomit!
Can anyone be any less relevant than Dana? Especially her pathetic story about her life growing up in NYC and how she was surrounded by all these rich kids and she wanted to be just like them. She’s clearly carried this over into her adult life. She just wants to be with the Mean Girls. And Kyle is the classic Mean Girl who could care less about Dana. Dana wouldn’t recognize a real friend if it bit her in the arse.
Thanks for the recap . You never disappointment.
Who knew brandi, Camille and Lisa would be the last three standing. Taylor and/or Kyle-honestly i can’t say who worst. KYLE is on the level of her niece Paris for attention. And I am not buying Taylor’s story. Not sayin it did happen but for some reason I don’t believe her version of their marriage. I see on her T.v. talk shows and the “abuse” just get “worse & worse” wink, wink.
Bravo should take your advice -Dana is nice enough but not to ask back. Little too desperate for me and PHONY. Brandi is a hoot and Lisa is funny-bring them back with replacements for the Richard Girls (sic) and the casino lady. Adrianne is bor-rinnng. Camille has a hunk and is happy so she probably does not care.
Thanks for recaps -this stuff is laugh out loud hilarious!!!!
There is a side-effect of Botox use that was fairly rare, but is being seen with increasing frequency due to more common and frequent injections. Botox can cause something called Silent Sinus Syndrome, which in turn can cause Orbital Floor Blowout. There is no bruising with this condition as it isn’t caused by an impact injury, the floor just collapses. I believe the most likely scenario is that Traylor had a Botox mishap
The story of RA’s surveillance was beyond preposterous. A TAPE RECORDER? Do they even still make those? Why would he do that when for a minimal investment he could have wired up the whole house with undetectable, motion and sound activated IP devices?!?! She’s so full of it.
The backyard ninja story was laughable, an ambulance showed up without the police checking in? Really? After RA allegedly beat the back of his friend’s head to the point of unconsciousness, then threw him in the pool to drown; then threw Traylor in the pool while actively trying to drown her… The other woman just hung around waiting to get tossed in as well? With the dog? It never crossed her mind to call 911? I love Traylor’s dramatic pronouncement - I might die, just take care of Kennedy… Sigh. Even Adrienne in all of her stunning stupidity couldn’t quite make eye-contact on that one.
Best line of the night after Andy’s Tiger Beat homage to the increasingly less appealing Maricio goes to Paul when being compared to him; “I’m a SURGEON.” Paul, I think Brandi could really appreciate a man like you, and braless wonder that she is, she has enough on the ball not to show up dressed like a third-rate superheroine.
LVP has publicly stated that she and Ken paid Mauricio over one million dollars in real estate commissions - so Kyle stabbed her in the back while counting her money and upgrading her lifestyle on Lisa’s back. I predict a pretty big bump in the road in the Umanskey marriage, she is a HUGE liability to his business.
Taylor was either afraid of “drown-ding’ or being ‘drown-ded’.(Not watching again to get exact word, so sorry.)
Maybe you should give up on watching HOBH and go back to watching Jersey Shore. That the show Brandi should be on.
Taylor describing the incident with the friend the dog and the pool was insane. I don’t know….I LOVE my friend but if her husband jumped out of a bush, knocked me in a pool and beat my husband so that he had to have 10 grand in plastic surgery, I would not NOT do anything! That’s just crazy and I don’t believe it for one minute. I agree with you and that Kim seemed ti be on something and shouldn’t have been on the show. Very sad.
I think that we should note that both of Russel’s exes (the one with the restraining order and the one who reported him being abusive) have both come forward to call Taylor a liar. If women who actually were abused by the same man are calling BS on Taylor’s story, that should give you just a little bit of pause when it comes to decide how credible she is.
Remember tha hated psychic at Camille’s dinner party said Mauricio wasn’t ‘there’ for Kyle(or something like that)?
Now that he is so popular, I see her trying to put him down, just like she does with anyone else who’s receiving positive attention.
Oh, and I see Mauricio hauling ass.
Fantastic recap - especially loved your 1 line character synopsis, you were spot on! Love Ken, Lisa, Camille & Brandi - and Paul. Please Bravo, do some housecleaning or mansion cleaning
When is Kim going to cop to what she was REALLY taking? Okay, Kim, we’ve figured it out that you were on your fourth Tom Collins by lunchtime. But there other moments when she was clearly impaired but there was no glass in her hand. She has said that her doctor had given her a medication on Game Night, and that it was a “nighttime medication.” Kim doesn’t behave like a person in recovery. I would be happy to see her do well (not that she cares, nor should she), but I would be surprised if she doesn’t relapse, especially if she returns to RHOBH with her sister.
Has anyone taken a good look at Taylor’s face when she tries to smile?.. It could scare children! just for that reason she should be removed from TV .Dana is a complete ding bat and Kyle is an evil witch…and bravo should not allow a women who is stoned,to go on tv and talk about her success in rehab. I’m thinking maybe the husbands…and Brandi might make for a more interesting show for next season. It
KIM I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO proud of you for getting help with your coke, and alcohol problemms. AND THANK GOD you got rid of Ken, he was the CREEPIST GUY I have ever seen. He was not right for you, Kyle was right…Your beuatiful and will get a REAL man and have a normal life. It’s a wedge but no bra party. that was HILARIOUS Kyle. I know you dont like to hear it Kyle but your hubby is delicious, I would kiss him HEAD TO TOE…YUMMY.

So glad another person exists that doesn’t think Ms.VP walks on water. She is a mean woman. She covers it up well for the masses, but she is extremely snide and calculating. Chortle chortle. . . honk honk.
That being said Kyle is wayyyy meaner. Get off of your sister’s back already b word. It is clear Kyle has been jealous of Kim forever. Who would act in such a manner???? Grinning ear to ear while your friends begin a falsely framed inquisition on your sister? Whipping that old sickening mop of hair around. Putting your nanny plop on the table at parties. Woman slow it down. People see you. You’ll get your fame. It will never be as good as Kim’s was lol hahahha. But still. Sit down.
I like Kim a lot. I think taking up for herself on firm ground will get her right where she needs to be. She is scared of Kyle. I want her to not be scared of Kyle.
You’ve got a good head on your shoulders, justchrissy…
I found your blog by accident and can’t stop reading! You say what I think!!! Love your recaps and am on the same pave as you!!!
Wow-you and I certainly watched the SAME show-I agree with ALL your observations. Foe me, the scene of particular fascination was Taylips trying to persuade Adrienne-yet again-to be Kennedy’s Godmother. The way Taylip circles Adrienne, gently trying to coax her into the web was chilling; I don’t believe it an overstatement to say it was a sociopath in action. Taylip was just not.hearing.‘no’. in Adrienne’s reply. I loved the addition of Brandi this season as the unfiltered Greek Chorus. Kyle is Vyle and Kim was ANYthing but ‘sober’ for her innerview with Andy. She holds her resentments as tight as she does her purse for sure! Anyway I hope to find some more HoWives writing as I search your blog, as I really enjoy reading the snark and different womens perspectives on these ...ladies.
Excellent recap, though in my opinion Camille’s magical transformation into a human being is due to a sizable public relations consulting fee. Taylor is beyond any help the medical community can provide for her -anyone who would stand on her ex-husband’s grave to enrich herself possesses a sociopathic trait that is beyond reach. I can’t wait for what’s next from this miserable bitch: dig up her husband’s casket and hold a book-signing on it?
Very good recap.. I agree with pretty much all of it.
I agree w/much of your analysis, except I really love Adrienne, she has her act together…I have no tolerance for Kim’s bologna and Kyle defines herself as the sister that is better than Kim Richards; pathetic, but maybe she is not as bad as you make her out here. I love Lisa + Ken, they are sweet and hilarious. Brandi is a hoot, but her trucker’s mouth is a bad claim to fame. Dana- what a bore, and Camille is a bit of a chameleon, she just changes to be what others want her to be too easy.
