One minor thing I need to add regarding this bizarre episode. How do Kim and Brandi feel they can just light up a cigar and a cigarette as guests in a fancy home such as Eileen and Vince have? I would have told them both to take it outside.

What planet is Brandi from, huh? How could she say (without laughing) "I think that alcoholism is a disease." and she was referring to Kim! Well, take a look in the mirror honey because you share that disease (among others) with Kim. Duh lady, duh, duh and DUH! Alcoholism has been recognized by the AMA as a disease since 1956. Does Brandi think she's sharing a revelation and some deep insight into alcoholism? But Kim wasn't drunk, she was stoned on drugs. She was shooting off red flags like fireworks and Brandi only enabled her more by feigning support for her. That is the worst thing that anyone could do. Kim needs a lot more than Brandi's kid gloves and coddling which are clearly only indulging Kim for the sake of the cameras. If Brandi genuinely wants to be supportive of Kim then she'd check herself into rehab WITH Kim. It would do both of them a world of good having that type of genuine support for each other.

A poker night should have been a fun experience for most normal people. Unfortunately they took the fun out of it almost immediately with the very first deal. They only cared who won, not about how to play. That's not a shock but putting Vince in the position of having to put up with the madness of these women is unfortunate. Eileen knows how to play poker and she could have explained the game just as well as Vince did. Nobody was really there to learn anyway.

I agree with you on the gladiator boots, they're just about the ugliest thing anyone could put on their feet and calves. They bring attention, that's about all they do. But, isn't that all that anyone wearing those fugly things really want?

In the bathroom Kim says to Kyle, "Before I left the house, Monty gave me something for the pain that the doctor gave me, and I took it. And that's it." She wasn't drunk but whatever she took for 'pain' was some strong drugs meant for someone suffering the pain of cancer. I think she took a prescription intended for Monty and his cancer, I don't think it was Kims drug at all. Only a drug addict would sink that low, and Kim is a drug addict. Painkiller abusers frequently suffer from other addictions like alcohol or have eating disorders or mood disturbances. Kim was hostile and paranoid. I think Kim is using drugs to escape the pain of dealing with Monty and his fatal cancer. Lisa said 'What's wrong, you seem ornery?" and Kim says "I am just ornery". then says "I am so sad, because Monty has not been around. Normally he's with me every night and he hasn't been home". Lisa says "he's in pain, he's dying". Kim replies. "so am I". Kim told Kyle that Monty gave her something before she left the house when she had already told Lisa that she's in pain because Monty hasn't been around. She's lying, and she's attempting to cover up for her drug abuse by making Monty the reason for it. Brandi interfered only for the reason that the cameras were rolling and she wanted to look like the good friend who cares and understands. But in fact Brandi was only being an enabler, which is a thousand times more hurtful than helpful to someone like Kim. If anyone understands what Kim was going though, it's Kyle and nobody else. It was a scary and creepy episode and I don't think that Bravo should have let Kim continue with the poker playing farce only because it was demeaning to show Kim that way instead of insisting she be admitted to a hospital. If they cared about any of these women, they would have. But Bravo is a big franchise for Andy Cohen and above all else, they'll go for the ratings over any concern for their housewives. Oh and Yolanda is starting to nauseate me. We get it Yolanda, your two daughters walk on water and may even become Saints of the fashion world. Nobody has ever had children that they could be so proud of and we are all envious of your amazing motherhood. Hey, you might even become a Saint yourself. Saint Yolanda, mother of mothers to super human amazing children that don't have any faults or failings. Whew, that felt good to get out.

sigh... All these emotional over-reactive college goodbyes. Makes me laugh to watch the sobs when I know that the next day they'll be out getting pampered at the spa, having cocktails over an expensive lunch, or buying a new pair of Louboutins. This was more like me when my son moved across the country to go to college. "bye bye, seeya, don't forget to write"

Scott has a lifelong habit of running from responsibilities. His celebrity status is only due to his relationship with a Kardashian. Both his biography and the biography of either of his parents is really difficult to find online. I know that his father came from money and was a real estate developer. Jeffrey Disick was also arrested for stealing money from a bank. Both Bonnie and Jeffrey weren't healthy people but Scott traveled little if at all back to Long Island to spend any time with either of them. Bonnie came out to Los Angeles if she wanted to see her son and grandchildren. The death of Jeffrey has some mystery surrounding the cause of death and it's nearly impossible to know if he died from natural causes or suicide. If Scott's father did kill himself or if he didn't, I'm sure that Scott ran from those responsibilities also and is probably feeling some remorse over the fact that he essentially gave up his parents for the fame and fortune that came with being associated with the Kardashians.

I've watched Scott act like a drunken 16 year old kid so many times that I can't feel any empathy for him at all. He has help and therapy and everything else that money can buy to get him sober and turn his life around. I look at those two sweet kids, three of them now, and think to myself, 'what will Mason remember'. I know that when kids are very small they really aren't aware of what adults do. But Mason is getting real close to the age when he will definitely know that his father is an immature drunkard that cares more about booze than he does about his mother, (Kourtney) or his children. If anyone knows someone who had an alcoholic mother or father while they grew up, you'll know what I'm talking about. There's so much harm being done that's not apparent on the surface.

The entire stay in Southampton by the Kardashian clan must have bugged the uppercrust snot out of the locals. Those people that have their 'summer cottages' on the water in the Hamptons absolutely hate publicity and public scrutiny. Most of those residents would make the entire Kardashian clan combined look like paupers. That guy screaming at Scott was probably one of those that wants privacy as most of them do and feels that Scott, Khloe and Kourtney brought nothing more an 'undesirable element' and visibility into their little secluded and private getaway island.

French Montana is not only the dullest lightbulb in the pack, he's just downright dumb. He has the emotional maturity of an eight year old kid. I wonder how far he got in school, maybe he quit around grade 4? He said something about "Julius Caesar he was a Roman god" (duh what?) And yes, it's good that he raps lyrics because nobody understand most rap lyrics anyway. Elocution is not his strong suit. The habit of fixing, smoothing, stroking and throwing the hair back is so annoying and Khloe is the worst offender. It drives me crazy when I watch her in a car driving and talking to someone and all the time she's moving her hair in back of her shoulder, over her shoulder, across the top of her head, then back the other direction. It makes me crazy, I want to slap her and tell her to leave her stupid hair alone when she's on camera.

I thought the same thing about Caroline and wondered if she had any teeth that weren't black. They seem to be missing and she rarely smiles. I even googled her to see if there were any photos of her teeth. That sounds obsessive but really, I'm hoping that Khloe finds it in her heart to buy this girl some show-off Kardashian-style teeth. I know the photo is just an awful thing to post, but the comparison has been in my imagination since the first time I saw Caroline. I'll probably roast in hell for posting it but my bad karma is already piled to infinity so this shouldn't make a difference. Mortimer Snerd

A flagel is basically a bagel that's been flattened out before boiling it. It was created by Tasty Bagel in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn in 1994. People like them because they're larger and better suited for a large sandwich filled with different cold cuts. There's no other bagel anywhere that tastes exactly like a New York bagel. I've tried bagels everywhere I've traveled and neither Miami or Los Angeles bagels can come close to the taste and texture of a genuine NY bagel. (it's the water)

All I can say is HOLY KEEERIST! I don't follow this show but I was channel surfing and stopped on this show and to my horrors I thought it was a joke of some kind. Was it people with masks on? Was it cross-dressers? Was this a comedy routine? Wow, it's real. Two of them that look similar scared the crap out of me, I can't even imagine being anywhere near them. How the hell do the dregs of society like this motley crew get the opportunity to have a television show based on their lives? Society is so doomed that it's not even funny anymore.

Kristen is not merely a 'train wreck' she's a multi-car locomotive that has plowed full steam through a guardrail off a 100 ft high bridge exploding into a massive fireball and melting into a heap of molten lead. That's more like Kristen.

LMAO! That's great, 'couchee'. It's Jason Cauchi but 'coochee' is how I'd spell it. To me, he's just so nasty, as most of them are. They're a walking, talking bundle of STD's.

I have watched Vanderpump Rules in the past but the show was so contrived and fake that I stopped watching. The biggest reason I stopped was for the bad acting. I had seen the cast on Andy Cohens show and both Kristen and Tom admitted to being actors. I decided that I just couldn't take any more of Kristen's angst, tears and obsessiveness about getting camera time. I was channel surfing last night and caught a few minutes of the Miami episode. All I got from it is that Jax (aka Jason) is a swinger and would probably mount anything that is alive whether it's male or female and human or animal. So okay, I get it, he's a scumbag. But the closure of this series for me was the hysterical crying of Tom. Honestly, I burst out laughing. I almost wanted to record that precious moment for those times when I'm having a bad day and need cheering up. But it's Kristen with her moody, crazy, emotional, obsessive and just plain dumbass acting for the camera is what did it for me. I just can't look at that face and feel any empathy or sympathy. How can anyone watch Tom sobbing like a baby and not laugh? I know I couldn't. This show, gotta go.....

good to know

Giudice, 42, will be released from the Federal Correctional Institution before next Christmas. This means the RHONJ veteran will be released about two months (54 days to be exact) shy of her 15-month sentence.

Personally, I don't feel that I'd get any breaks at all and probably serve a sentence three times as long.

Bravo wouldn't dare edit the horrible behavior by Brandi, it's all she's got. She doesn't have wealth to flaunt, she's getting older and complicating the process by making herself look freakish with Restylane and Botox and she's a mental mess. The only thing she has to give Bravo in exchange for her paycheck is crazy. This woman is actually supporting herself and hopefully her children solely on the crazy behavior she exhibits. It's her claim to fame "I'm nuts and I get paid for it".

I can really relate to you in this regard. I grew up under the same circumstances. None of us got the love and attention these kids do But something else that for me was more important. My parents didn't have the means to take off to exotic vacations together around the world, they were basically stuck with us and responsibilities of raising us 5 kids. I had never had a babysitter in my life and except for an occasional overnight stay at grandma's house, we never slept anywhere but our own bed. Our big treat was 2 weeks at a cottage on a lake in Maine. When we were 18 we couldn't wait to get out and get married and be independent, and there were no tears shed when we did that too. We weren't told we were any more special than anyone else, we were never given things just for the sake of giving them to us and anything we did get was to replace something that was totally worn out and full of holes. We were expected to be in school but as far as grades go, I don't ever remember either of my parents asking to see my report card either. Having less doesn't equate to being less. That's all I have to say.

I immediately thought something was about to happen right before Brandi threw wine (about 20 cc of it) at Eileen. Brandi was shown furiously stroking bronzer over her forehead, chin and Restylane-stuffed cheeks. I mean, who does that? "I'm ready for my closeup Mister DeMille" Two more cents to add to my other two-cents. Something I had overlooked when I first saw this episode at the Royal couple (Fosters) home. When they all went out on the terrace for 'smores' and some were cheerfully roasting their marshmallows on a stick like little campers, I noticed that someone handed Mauricio a silver plate neatly stacked with 'pre-roasted' black marshmallows. How weird. Then there was the demonstration by Yolanda as she gyrated and danced like a sprite along the wall above the firepit. Obviously nobody could miss that. I couldn't help but draw some comparisons to the rise and fall of great cultures like Rome and Babylon. Only this isn't an economic or political failure. These shows, these people and pop culture is more like a collective wave of moral decline.

That whole thing looked like a setup to me. I checked the look that Jeff gave Brandi after the break and noticed a pause that Andy made before Brandi took the opportunity to throw the wine. It was all a setup. All of it is a setup, even the wine thrown at Eileen. We would all rather 'believe' it's real than face the fact that these franchises are all contrived, scripted and setup intentionally to peak our anger and curiosity.

It occurred to me how ashamed her mother and father must be watching Brandi behave like an out of control sociopath on National television. People will initially wonder what kind of f**ked up childhood she had.

Yet again, Bravo has managed to sink to an all-time low in entertainment. Bravo creates these shows with one intention, get us to watch them. Their means to that end is through negative or sensationalized situations. Andy Cohen is just the pimp Bravo uses to promote shows like this because he's every bit as trashy as the rich 'hoes' that he puts on display. I can't blame Andy Cohen because if it wasn't him in front of the cameras holding the script cards it would just be someone else that's just as willing to trade personal integrity for personal gain. Brandi is a living, breathing psychopath that needs a few months in a sanitarium. She's taking Lexapro and Xanax which isn't unusual for celebrities, but she's stupid enough to say "you can't mix alcohol and anti-anxiety medication" but she just said she takes Lexapro in the morning and Xanax if she's in a situation that causes anxiety! Duh Brandi! This women is a god-damned MORON. In the beginning, when Brandi first arrived at RHBH, I sort of liked her. I thought she was funny and unfiltered, but still had a handle on her behavior. As time went on, she became more and more unraveled and I think Bravo pushed her to be that. The thing that put me over the edge with Brandi entirely was the comment and gesture she made in front of everyone at the Foster's home about 'fingering your wife'. Holy crap. If I was there, I swear that I would have to get up and assault her bodily and risk jail time for doing that. It appears that Brandi, and every one of the housewives for that matter, can do or say whatever they want and as long as they say "I apologize" and that makes everything okay and forgiven. The bad words or actions just melt away forgotten into infinity. It doesn't matter to any of them if there's any sincerity in the apology or if it's just two words that are supposed to erase all the evil they do. This broad needs to be fired, she's totally out of control. Shame on you Bravo, shame on you Brandi and shame on me and all of us for supporting this mess by watching.

I contracted Lyme disease back in 2001 and dammit until I heard Yolanda going on about it, I had no idea how I could milk that for all it's worth. I wonder if it's too late for me to start now?
