Surrealist

I think AM's biggest issue was allowing Kyle to wind her up in the same way Rinna wound up Eden against Kim (and to a lesser degree, Kyle) in Season 7. Not that I'm suggesting AM isn't at any fault in this situation, but I think much of it is on Kyle who tossed that ball to AM, and then AM went running with it.

Last night I watched some Reunion clips. That moment shows up on so many of those clips. And you're right, it looks like a bunny you'd buy at a grocery store for Easter. Not that the gift is a bad idea, but not sure why Rinna would give Kim any gift when she never seemed to actually like Kim. For sure, Kim had her number.

So, I'm watching a YT video of Reunion clips. They showed Kyle going after Kathryn over Faye. Kyle wants Kathryn to feel worse for Faye and for Kathryn to discount her own feelings, and I had forgotten about that moment, but Kyle is a piece of shit for that. Faye brought about her own bad press by publishing a book about Nicole Brown, her friend who was murdered by her ex, not that long after Nicole was murdered. Faye can write about her life, whatever, but if she thought she wasn't going to catch heat for discussing Nicole in that way, she's a complete idiot.

You mean not even the fabulousness that was Camille's Dinner Party From Hell episode?! And not even the Amsterdam Dinner From Hell episode?! For shame.

You're right. She still chose to marry him, but that doesn't make me less frustrated with him. 😂 If he were still alive, I would die if the HWs had been interviewed by James Lipton. He'd ask them what kind of tree they'd choose to be. 😂

As someone who's both a cancer survivor and whose father is currently undergoing lung cancer treatment, I empathetize with AM. I wish she had talked about it during the season. Not every little detail, but I agree that it would have helped the viewers understand her reactions and personality better. Because of you I now know about the adoption info and that part of her story is also sad. I'm not even sure what else to say, but that has to sting really hard. 🙁 I still dislike her husband for telling her, to her face, that she's an 8.5 in every aspect. I want to punch him in the teeth for that. Right? I'm not even an Erika fan, but definitely felt her pain during the show. Her facial expressions. 🤣

Andy is so shady with Dorit. Lol.

Kyle and Morgan met through rehab, right? Otherwise I don't know how Kyle would have known she exists, unless she's a hardcore country music fan. Also you're not supposed to start relationships while in rehab, right? Especially not with other patients.

Isn't the MCFR responsible for that sign?

I acknowledge that Erika had a rough upbringing. No one deserves that. But what she's done as an adult, with Tom Girardi, is unforgivable. Even moreso the person I'm saddest for is her son. That she called being onstage her greatest happiness rather than her son broke my heart for him.

Oooooooooooo. 😶 The AnneMarie offers her opinion part has me curious.

I wondered the same. Lol.

Yeah. I think there's overlap between the gossip on Twitter that also makes its way into the HWs subreddits. Those subs can get crazy though.

Wow. The Reunion should be interesting. Gotta love Kyle telling Dorit she didn't know how much longer she can do the show because of its toxicity. Completely ignoring the fact that the show is like that because of her! 😂😶

Viewers should be able to toss Dorit into the ocean. I agree about having Jeff host the Reunion. Andy always throws softballs at the women.

Hopefully only $5.

I wanted to share that Pluto TV now has a Real Housewives Vault channel. They run episodes from the various shows (even the international versions, from what I understand). Right now, they're showing eps from the first season of BH. The next ep up? The Dinner Party From Hell (with Dubois!).

He was raised by his father? For some reason, I was thinking he was being raised by Erika's grandmother and eventually she sent him out to LA once Erika married Tom.

Right? As soon as Erika started talking about what makes her the happiest, I expected her to mention her son, but then that moment never came. 😂 I'm guessing his girlfriend lives in London.

I took it to mean that, maybe, Mo cheated (or came pretty close to doing so?). As much as I don't want to defend Kyle, I think her issues are two-fold: she's having a midlife crisis that wasn't helped by her best friend's suicide. I'm empathetic in that regard. Watching all this unfold on TV, however, makes everything awkward by 1000%. Lol. I think that's what bothers viewers. Her façade is crumbling after all these years. The reality of spending over a decade on a reality show is finally hitting her. She's been awkward to watch this entire season. I'm guessing she'll look even worse for the Reunion. I wonder if that's partly the reason why Kathy was invited (for moral support).

I loved it when Garcelle brought up talking to Denise about Erika's LV residency and Denise couldn't believe lipsyncers would get a residency. Lol.

Erika gave Kyle decent advice about focusing on what Kyle needs for her own happiness, but she lost me when she said that her career is her greatest happiness as opposed to say, her son.

Exactly. Essentially the show "made" Kyle happen. For many years. I think many of the viewers have started moving on from her to different cast members. I don't see Dorit lasting much longer either. Isn't Erika going to have her own show? I'm not sure how much longer she can last on this show after all of Tom's legal troubles. Folks know what she's about at this point.

I loved it when he told Dorit "You're not my mother." He's right, but it was still funny because it was a bit snarky.
