I was intrigued, but if she's being introduced as a friend of Dorit's, that kills it for me. Even more lopsidedness, and more opportunity for us to see someone kissing Dorit's butt. Guess I'll keep passing on this season.

I said it before, and I'll say it again... I'd watch the heck out of Sutton and Tilly Statler & Waldorf-ing their way through RHOBH (minus them)... kind of a People's Couch-type thing with weirder fashion.

I know public figures are generally discouraged from deleting negative comments, but I would 100% be behind Jennifer deleting hostile comments about her friends on a PERSONAL post. She’s not explicitly posting about the show. I get that the line is a little blurry because they’ve all been on the show, but in this case, 🤷🏻‍♀️because these people are so unhinged.

LOL no, but Kyle reminds me of her! 🤣

Such a great point. I had a friend who would bring my venting about a person TO THAT PERSON. Then she would come back and say “oh, I talked to so and so about what you said, and THEY said…” The first time or two I held in my feelings because I… well, I was a lot younger and nervous about expressing my feelings. The third time she did it, I was like, “Please don’t bring this stuff up to the person,” and she acted all shocked and said “oh, I just wanted to help…” Like, who on God’s green earth would picture that helping a situation? NB this is someone I don’t really speak to anymore (not because of a dramatic falling out, but I was tired of this and other behavior). Eventually you come to understand if a person is truly there for you. I don’t know if that’s true for any of these women anymore. Lord help us if that’s the case 🤣 I do agree that Andy loves fighting women and catty women.

YES! Even the serious moments seemed to have some fun/weird moments, like Vince Van Patten poking his head out the garage window. Or "look! The ponies are at the pool!" Or Kim mixing chicken salad with her hands. And other moments. And now... To misquote the tagline from another venerable reality show: they stopped being polite and stopped being real. Everything is hidden. No real talk about Kyle's love life. No real discussion of Dorit's businesses or robbery. A baby storyline that ignores biological realities (and possibly romantic ones). And of course, ABSOLUTELY NO conversation, under ANY circumstances, about Ms Girardi's legal woes. We know there are actual stories happening, but no one talks about them. in contrast, VPR got a jolt of life after a couple boring seasons precisely because they allowed the reality of the headlines to show on screen (and people enjoyed being "detective" to figure things out). We need a little more of that on RHOBH--or at least a return to a "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" vibe that most of us tuned in for at the beginning. It's part of why I was so disappointed by Boz. She COULD have brought some really interesting professional stuff to the table, but no. We get the maybe-baby and Dorit Defender. I figure this may be part of why she's laying low on social--deciding what to do next season.

Bravo "blew up" the Vanderpump Rules cast, but I honestly think THIS is the cast that needs a reboot. With actual cred and/or money, not half-talented grifters.

I just meant--both are Southern and Sutton seems to want to bond over it.

Interesting and plausible theory! The contrast between real life and BS can be jarring & force you to action. Like, I don't need to be treated like this; the money is not worth the trouble. Perhaps it's already clear based on how she dresses, but Dorit needs a mirror.

I wonder if it's a "Southern thing." I know in the past Sutton and Erika bonded over the food. And maybe she reminds her of her mom (consciously or not)?

It's not as if cancer is contagious. And I don't think Dorit has any issues that make her a physical threat to Teddi's health? What a stupid and uncaring comment.

That she wants to be ride or die for Dorit is so wild to me. Like, even Kyle would have been a better choice? Yeah that was... odd. I'll give Sutton the thought that maybe she was a little stymied in the moment... but it was surprising that she was SO caught off guard.

Speaking of being boring, etc.: Did Dorit offer anything during this reunion besides barking at Sutton any time Sutton opened her mouth?

Now that I've seen the end, I totally feel for whatever Garcelle was feeling, and I have 100% been in a position of noping out when I feel insulted and sidelined by a group (or the "ringleader" of a group). If she wanted to get away... I get it. But I kind of don't get what the ultimate point of walking away *for the photo.* She's there filming the reunion, so it's not like taking the photo would have been a proof point of genuine friendship. It's literally a cast photo. Again. No issue with how she felt or that she's walking away from the show. By all means... walk away from people who don't have your best interest at heart. But why not walk away *earlier*, right when those people are being jerks? I'm sure she had her reasons for her timing, I just don't understand. It's like taking a group photo with your work team. You may be annoyed by or angered by your co-workers or manager. And you're justified in quitting that job due to the dynamics. But it would be awkward to quit in that moment. I'm happy to be (nicely) engaged on this, LOL. It's just what struck me when I saw the whole thing.

If I take away anything from these three hours of drudgery, it’s that Dorit is a nasty piece of work. Good grief.

“How many arfs do I give?”

It was! 😀 And probably the nicest crowd I've encountered at a show in a long time.

It was tons of fun! My friend invited me, and I went in with no expectations. But both Joan and Alanis kicked butt! Hmm, interesting thought! I mean, I was already thinking that the RHOBH tie-in got her the gig. They definitely could have had a different woman. Ironically, Joan Jett just came on the speakers where I'm eating lunch 🤣

I mean, it depends. Is the lawyer's office on the main road?

Oh no, I love Rao's. My favorite jarred pasta sauce (don't @ me, Teresa Formerly Giudice) PS what is it about Dorit and commercial Italian food? First Buca, now this... Morgan was the opening act for Alanis Morissette's tour with Joan Jett. I was vaguely curious to watch her, but my friend and I heard her piped over the loudspeaker while getting our snacks and decided we weren't missing anything 🤣

Wow. Erika is so busted up about Teddi, she can't show up for court. That's one true friend. I mean, given how warmhearted she's been towards the victims of those accidents--not to mention her own husband with dementia--it really shouldn't surprise me, but you learn something new every day. Her empathy knows no bounds!

Right? With so many of these reunions, I often wonder “Do they not check what it looks like, on camera, to sit in these dresses?”

AND ANOTHER THING! 🤣 Re: the main road: Isn’t it actually a STATUS SYMBOL to be on that main road? Sore-it’s* acting as if Sutton’s tennis court abuts the 110. *Typo, I’m keeping it

I've had the "fail trombone" sound in my head all morning 🤣 Dee-doo-doo-dooo (waaaaaaahhhhhhh)

For sure, Sutton has made missteps and responded with snarky and unkind comments. And I think the sisterhood thing, while well intentioned, was a misstep. I just don’t see her missteps as worthy of season after season of FFF attempted takedowns, and I certainly don’t see Dorit’s targeted nastiness this season and at the reunion as defensible, either. She seems to see all this as her opportunity to let it all fly and get herself to the top of the heap. All these women could learn to think before they speak. But if they did that, I guess we wouldn’t have a show…
