I honestly don't give a shit about Sutton's wallet and mortgage comments. I know she's talking specifically about Dorit, and not about me or any of the viewers. This is supposed to be a show about rich women doing rich people things, and occasionally acting snobby and humblebraggy. Dorit's been acting like a rich lady snob since she started the show. Same with Erika, really. Now their houses of cards are falling rapidly. I don't mind cast members calling that out on the show, or at the Reunion. It's fair game, right?

Yeah, but Garcelle and Sutton are the real Mean Girls. 🙄

Fair enough. Lol. I've only watched a few eps of RHONJ. I always assumed it was a show centered around Mob wives, but I think there's already a reality show with that title. 🤣

Even Andy doesn't seem to buy her story, and he brought up the robbers leaving Dorit's phone near the gate.

Erika's the absolute worst when it comes to this because she's always acting as if she can let shit go like it's nothing, but keeps grinding her ax about everything. She thinks she's the most misunderstood, put upon person in existence. She's exhausting, and I wish she'd get canned. Is there anything she can do that would push Andy into wanting her off the show? Because I'd love to know what that is.

She's so ridiculous! I'll bet she's steamed she's still not in the show right now.

Right? Adult women giving themselves a clique name is one of the dumbest things ever. Like they've never emotionally progressed beyond high school.

I looked and didn't notice any of the women liking that post. Unless my eyes were glazed over.

You feel bad about that? I was the moron who spent a month bingeing every episode of every season to catch up with you all in Season 10. 😂 I blame my cousin for getting me involved in this bullshit, but it's still kind of fun to analyze this show. Ah! Thank you for the clarification. I remember Boz saying she was here to promote herself, which is what they all do. I couldn't remember if she had a business going on as well. I know she does motivational speaking, and I wouldn't mind paying for one of her seminars. She clearly knows her shit. I mostly side eye her alignment with Dorit and Erika because both women are involved in sketchy bullshit, and Boz isn't someone I would associate with women like them.

This would be a great show idea. Better than the current crop of crap on Bravo.

I wonder the same about Boz, tbh. She's seen as this Boss Lady, which it sounds like she is, but yet she's on this show. I'm guessing she's doing it to promote herself as a "life coach," which are a dime a dozen these days. It's too bad she's still not in the corporate world because it would be interesting to watch her in that environment, but I'm guessing no corporation is going to go along with being featured on RHOBH. I think Sutton went on to promote the fact she wanted to do a fashion line, but at this point, she doesn't need this mess anymore. The other ladies, like Kyle, Dorit, and Erika need this show (and the money).

Also, I'm not so sure Sutton thinks Kyle's genuinely her friend. I know that's a narrative working its way through the fanbase: that Sutton left Garcelle out to dry, in order to curry favor with Kyle. I can't decide what I think is going on, but Sutton isn't stupid enough to think that Kyle likes her. I think something else is going on. All that said I don't blame Garcelle for leaving. I would too.

I'm one of the other ones. 🤣

I said this last week, but when Garcelle and Jennifer made the move to talk to the other ladies (who they know hate Sutton), I think something in Sutton clicked about what that meant. Holding friends accountable, and not blindly supporting them all the time, is one thing. But approaching your friend's enemies, and knowing those enemies really hate her, was a stupid move on their part. However noble their intentions. Not to mention, it made her look even worse, and gave the FFF much needed ammo. But it's still a "stir the pot" move, which is what this show thrives on anymore. Once they got to the Reunion, I think Sutton was over it, and kind of relieved that others were on the hot seat, instead of her. I'm not saying she should play mute, but I think she's taken some notes about this season. I'm still of the mindset that she should quit because she doesn't need this show, and it can ruin your rep and your friendships. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Oh shut up, Rinna. 🙄

The only thing I loved about this Reunion was when Andy visited each of their trailers before the show started. He poked fun at Dorit for her long-windedness before leaving hers.

Garcelle is my favorite HW, but I agree. That's something you have to be careful about saying when you'll be in front of a camera.

I think this is probably the biggest reason they saved their shit for now. They think Boz siding with them gives them the edge.

Everything the FFF brings up is something they've read on IG or over on Reddit. There's no way they don't have their fingers on the fans' pulses regarding what happens on the show.

This was a good statement on PK's part. I knew he wasn't going to be coming onto this Reunion show. Not after everything Dorit has been saying about him all season. Sutton was right when she said it seemed like Dorit was throwing him under the bus. I mean, that's an accurate observation to make. Whether Dorit is legit in her criticism of PK is another matter entirely. Since they're not yet divorced, she might be wise to keep quiet about him while things are being sorted out off screen.

No worries! Great minds and all. 😄

It definitely was. And I'm certainly looking forward to two more episodes of Boz explaining to us how she can't be conned into joining in on their bullshit because she's the smartest person in the room who's done all the research on this show. Her whole whatever she has going on with Keely has me permanently side eyeing her. She's another successful woman who seems to draw sketchy men into her orbit. I can see why she was drawn to Dorit. They both have the same problem when it comes to men.

I made the mistake of looking at the main HWs subreddit and they had a live discussion thread for this ep. (This isn't the same sub as the nightmare RHOBH sub.) I didn't disagree with every point, but I think I've figured something out about the fanbase. It has to do with the "these people are real friends" vs "none of these people are real friends" discussion. If you're in the latter camp, you can't get all up in arms when one cast member doesn't come out full force to defend another. If you say that they're only coworkers with a show alliance, then real friendship rules don't apply to them. If you're in the former camp, I get the frustration. The only thing I can say is that these women are watching the seasons unfold in the same way we do, so they're seeing THs they weren't aware of while filming, and then by the time the Reunion rolls around, their perspective on situations and on others has (at least, somewhat) changed since they were filming. I think this gets construed as someone being two-faced when, maybe, they didn't care for what someone said in the THs, so by the time the Reunion rolls around, they're like "Oh well. Not going to be getting involved anymore." 😂 Who knows though? I don't know any of these women in real life, and I'm guessing almost none of the other viewers do either, which makes the vitriolic comments about this show extra amusing. It's right up there with Denise trying to get producer's attention, during actual filming, and breaking down that fourth wall (permanently). 😂

And it seems as if Garcelle thought they should've been piling on Sutton instead. 😂 Which feels kind of like throwing your friend under the bus, despite the fact she's been getting shit on since she started on the show. They'll get to Sutton in the next couple of episodes while twisting any criticism of themselves and lobbing that back in the direction from which it came. It's clear the FFF wants a show that's entirely about them, and one in which no one questions anything about them. This shit happens in every Reunion.

Jennifer Tilly is the New Harry Hamlin. 🤣
