I thought I was the only one who thought the note thing was hilarious! It just shows that even though everyone is sick of Bananas, he deserves to still be here all these years later because he knows how to play the game. It's amazing that he predicted the perfect note that would work for Britney!! I've got no problem with him hijacking the game every year. It's everyone else's stupid fault for knowing exactly who they're dealing with, and letting him do it anyway. With all the turnaround and newbies from other shows, it's nice to see a few old faces and I think the day Johnny doesn't return, is probably the day I stop watching.

I thought Kyle was the one to suggest it and then Teddi said soemthing like that might be best. After everything that transpired that morning, they all seemed pretty happy to wrap things up and call it a day. And I'm sure Erika, who was in too much pain to have a few drinks and far too much pain for a workout, certainly wasn't about to join in the biking/surfing/beach volleyball/etc. It would be pretty poor etiquette to marginalize her once again while everyone else went off on their beach activities.

You are being very kind. Dorit's behavior that morning was SO WEIRD! She was acting like a drug addict going through withdrawal. I thought she was going to pass out before she even started being a little tattle tale (TM Camille).

Exactly! And I don't doubt that she felt miserable, but if she feels so badly, take a sick day. She was moping around the whole time and being an all around wet blanket. I'm glad she left. I only wish she had bailed sooner. And stayed gone. Rinna also skipped the beach house so it's not like they were obligated to be there. That said, Rinna was working her other gig and allowed the cameras to pop in there. So far, I haven't seen Erika do anything besides tag along with the other women. She really hasn't added anything to the season outside of her "friendship" with the other women. We haven't even been treated to a half-assed rehearsal for EJ. Maybe it's time for her to step down to FOH status given that she has no A-plot to contribute.

I'm also not convinced Kyle was too bothered since she was quick to swoop up the bedroom Erika left unoccupied. Methinks Dorit is pb&jelly (TM Kyle) because she had to take a twin bed. I think they already have. The first thing Kyle did in the car was confront Dorit for snitching and stirring shit up. Thanks to Camille "you're being a tattle-tale" Grammer for the assist! It was pretty telling that they made Dorit sit in the bump seat all the way back to LA too. And then in New York, Kyle and Lisa were off shopping while she's foot-in-mouthing it all over again with the other girls. If it weren't for Dorit, I think this group would have no problem getting along and simply having fun. But Dorito is really working overtime to stir this shit and it's only a matter of time before it backfires on her. She's delusional if she thinks she can waltz right in and breakup Kyle & Lisa. And talking in third person! That was super weird and seemed to come out of nowhere to deflect the whole situation. But I still maintain, if Erika felt so shitty and had already left the party, why come back in the morning just to sulk and mug around for the camera. It was weird and it could have been explained if she simply told them she was staying at a hotel from the beginning like Teddi had initially suggested. But it really didn't have to be weird and all of that is on Dorit for opening her big mouth. Her behavior was the most weird. She was literally shaking to tell Erika what the girls had said after she left.

So far I have put up with the Hadidnts popping up in every episode to fill us in on the lack of development in their vacuous lives but I draw the line at the plunger story. I absolutely did NOT need any more confirmation of how inept those girls are and I'm officially sick of the Hamlets stealing away precious time from the real stars of the show: Kyle's pups.

Am I the only one who thought the bad outfit analogy was also about Erika? I'm side-eyeing those designer t-shirt dresses she always wears. Me too!! Lisa was cracking me up this episode, especially all the whinging during their workout! It was such a breath of fresh air to see Kyle and Lisa drunkenly motorboating each other despite being in an argument 12 hours earlier. Their friendship is the best thing about this franchise and instead we were treated to the multiple recaps of something that didn't even make it into the final cut. As a woman I can sympathize with not wanting to sleepover on a heavy flow day and maybe making that decision at the last second, but I did find it weird that she bailed and then decided to come back in the morning. Teddy sent a very long, very detailed, text message itinerary so it's no surprise they were working out in the morning. Why bother showing up just to mope around while the other women are working out?

Anyone with ADD is a candidate for Adderall, especially if they became dependent as children. But most of the women I know who take it are misusing Adderall to suppress their appetites. The season really isn't complete without a proper Stassi birthday meltdown!! It baffles me that she continues to spend a fortune on her birthday parties when they ALWAYS end with her crying. Patrick continues to suck. Her attraction to him is even more baffling. He constantly keeps her at arm's length as if she's an obsessive stalker and not his actual girlfriend.

Another fucking barley risotto! From now on, they should send them home just for thinking of it.

I will never sympathize with anyone who goes home for making risotto (or risotto adjacent). See ya Bruce! Carrie was absolutely delightful! Even Padma couldn't be upset when she basically served nothing on a plate. I was just shy of squealing when she was going on about how well she hit it off with the governor. She is precious!

Exaclty! Stassi is her own worst enemy with a severe case of foot in mouth disease. I don't listen to her podcast but from what I hear it's vapid and lewd, which can be very entertaining, but I certainly wouldn't tune in to get the scoop on politics and social issues. She has no business commenting on any portrayal of social issues and ethnicity in the media. And she knows that. Bringing up #OscarSoWhite was purely a PR tactic to either for shock value or an attempt to appeal to a broader audience. Ariana sucks and she should check her privilege before insinuating that Stassi is racist. But I'm also not interested in watching Stassi cry over it. I'd be far more forgiving if she simply said she made a mistake, she has nothing to add to the discourse and go back to discussing pantylines or whatever. She's like Brandi Glanville Lite. Not every podcast needs to be groundbreaking.

I couldn't tell if that was "Did Daddy buy this house?" shade or "nothing's been renovated in since the 90s" shade?

It's really splitting hairs at this point. Burbank is still an LA airport, serving LA county and it's not like the show is titled LAX-LAS. The validity of the airport is really nothing compared to all of the unbelievable plots that happen on this show

Nope! Kyle is almost twice my age and I would kill to look like her, horrible fashion sense and all

Burbank. It pretty much only flies to Vegas, Denver and NorCal. And it's almost all Southwest flights which is what I think Jackpot Airlines is ripping off

What does this even mean? Now I'm feeling self conscious about how flat the back of my head looks.

And the Brit not knowing who Dennis Rodman is was the cherry on top! These idiots have said a lot of stupid shit over the years but I think this analogy was maybe the stupidest yet. For one, it's not even an apt analogy, and second, those three haven't played on the same team in 20 years. Most of the rookies aren't even old enough to get the reference.

You've just provided me endless hours of entertainment. Thank you!

This is a huge upgrade from what I was imagining haha! ....And now I am EVEN MORE confused. thank you both ? ?

Forgive my ignorance, in my defense I am not American, but is jello pretzel salad really a thing? And is it actually edible?

We know because Rinna read the long-ass text message Teddi sent about throwing a potluck at her beach house

Vanderpump Dogs is the best thing to ever happen to this show! If Lisa leaves and takes her menagerie with her, I'll never tune in again

She made a salad. It looked like cucumber, tomatoes and fresh mozarella. Not bad but I would think the host would provide something more substantial, like protein??? Isn't that how potlucks are supposed to work?

My thoughts exactly! Not sure if I'm getting my hopes up because it looks like the Kyle/LVP thing was resolved enough that it won't be brought up again next week. But there goes Dorit, stirring up shit with Erika now. I hope they're paying her OT for all the effort she puts into being the least likeable person in BH It really was beautiful! And the potluck ended up being a nonissue in the end.

Lisa Rinna is reminding me this season why I used to love her so much. She's like a regular person who accidentally became famous and still hasn't adjusted. Her admission that she'd love to see LVP angry was channeling every thought I've ever had about this show. Same with Kyle saying she'll look up the beach house online. I am guilty of that every time I step into someone else's home.
