Are they seriously holding back the name, as if they are still relevant to anyone? I mean, I want to know only to see what Queen Robyn comes up with, but to the world at large...probably very little interest. I think they like to believe that thousands of fans are on pins and needles awaiting the name, but - nope.

Excellent post, FostersMom. It's hard, as the mom to a teenage daughter myself, to watch Kylie do this to herself. And it angers me that Kris allows it to happen. In addition to worrying about Rob, I've added Kylie to the list. I think both of them are damaged souls who don't necessarily want to sell themselves to the warped Kardashian view of reality but also don't know how to get off the moving train, since there's little to no support for them to do so. Like you said, they are a paycheck to Kris and basically invisible to Caitlyn. Not sure where to ask this question, but is there any way to view the old KUWTK threads on TWoP? I have looked under Brilliant but Cancelled, but the show does not appear on the list of topics. I would love to read up on the older episodes.

Same here! Khloe is partially invisible in the painting. I found it rather disturbing. It looked like an impressionist painting with the K sisters' faces superimposed. I couldn't figure out why Kris didn't purchase it instantly and hang it on her Wall of Daughters. LOLOLOL No stripes or patterns?! Sent home to change? I find this absolutely hysterical. Now I clearly see why Kimye is such a perfect pairing. They are both delusional narcissists. Hopefully North or Saint won't become attached to a striped blankie or polka-dotted stuffed animal, because Daddy will throw it in the trash.

The thing is, Kylie was a perfectly cute teenager, and I could see her turning pretty as she got older. But I suppose the definition of "pretty" in the real world is somewhat different than the Kardashian world. Pumping all kinds of crap into your face so you resemble an overinflated plastic doll is NOT pretty. But Kylie, having no one to tell her that she was fine the way she was, and having Kim as an older sister/role model, probably didn't know any better. I'd hate to think that Kris pushed Kylie into looking like she does now, but at the same time, if Kylie was having fillers or surgery, Kris would have to sign off and approve that if Kylie was under 18. What mother would do that? Asked and answered...I know better. But turning your lovely 17-year old daughter into plastic is just disgusting beyond words. Kylie looks awful.

Great post, HumblePi. And that photo is truly terrifying. Is there seriously not one person in the entire extended family who can tell that child to stop mutilating herself? I would love for that person to be Kris, but I don't foresee that happening anytime soon. After all, bad press is better than no press.

I noticed this too. When they were all walking into the press conference, Kendall's legs go on for days, she's the only one (besides Kourtney) who still maintains a very natural beauty, and she seems like she might actually enjoy chatting about things other than, "You look cute today." Not saying she's a rocket scientist, but she seems to have a bit more of a soul than her sisters. Khloe's lips are starting to freak me out, in much the same way as Kim and Kylie's do. Just say no, Khloe!

Where to start with this one? In no particular order: Khloe telling Kylie and Tyga that they should have a threesome. Does that woman have any boundaries within her family? The way Khloe seems to always talk with food in her mouth...it distorts her voice in a way that's like fingernails on a chalkboard for me. And speaking of fingernails, the way she has to hold her fork because of her long, pointy manicure bugs me too. And Khloe is my favorite K sister! Kim wore the same shredded beige top that she's worn before. And what is up with the walking around with coats over her shoulders? Is she trying to cover up her arms? It's an odd affectation. Probably Kanye told her to do it. Who IS Jonathan, besides Kim's personal servant? Does he have a role within this family, like publicist or something? Is he on the Kardashian payroll? Does he actually get paid to carry around Kim's pee in a bag? Did I just type that last sentence? Kanye's fashion show.........??? And Kylie's role within it, even though by her own admission she is not a model, nor nice, nor polite, nor respectful...????? That painting of the Kardashian sisters by Mr. Brainwash was all kinds of creepy. And hey, there's another sentence I never thought I'd type. Wasn't Kris supposed to be hanging around, keeping an eye on Scott and the kids? Didn't she agree to do that, and then totally didn't? Nice job, Grandma. #FreeRob

I think this is the first time I have ever cowered in fear at someone who was on my television. Did anyone else think Abram was going to suddenly materialize and start screaming himself bloody in front of your living room couch? No? Just me? Yikes. I think what's so terrifying about Abram is he goes from raging maniac to subservient and calm, saying "Yes sir" on repeat, in about 0.4 seconds. I mean, holy crap - I'd be afraid that he'd go off on a rampage if I poured my coffee too loud. I loved Aneesa on the couch when Abram decided to confront Thomas and CM...Aneesa's like, "do NOT look the crazy in the eye! Look away! Forget everything! Including my own name!" For real. Again, I say: YIKES.

As far as Rob goes, to me it seems like he's never healed from losing his dad. I have heard him say more than once that he wishes his father was still around to help steer him in the right direction. He seems lost, and his family either has no time or interest in helping him out. He may live with Khloe but that relationship seems more dysfunctional and enabling than supportive. I've had a soft spot for Rob since I caught him on DWTS. My first thought was, seriously - another Kardashian on this show? Give me a break. But then he totally won me over. It can't be easy being saddled with that name and that family, being depressed, not knowing the way out, wondering if your family will support you, and knowing that if you step out of your house, there's going to be a bunch of people with cameras looking for their money shot. I can't imagine. I really hope that he manages to somehow break away from his family and get healthy, and realizes that he's more than just a name and reality tv personality. I'm still seething at Kim and her fat joke about her brother. And also at Kris for not slapping her golden goose upside the head. It's sickening.

Best of luck, North and Saint. With those two for parents.......

I just watched that episode with Rob and Kim and the name-calling. I thought it was weird that they were on vacation, Rob was relaxing in the pool, Kim was relaxing with Kris H, and she starts taunting Rob by calling him a loser. Rob referenced in a TH that Kim calls him "loser" several times a week, and that at some point he would explode. And he did. It's hard to blame him. I cannot see Kim going after any of her sisters the way she goes after Rob. She really does seem to enjoy getting under his skin. Part of why I watch this show is to see the dynamics between the siblings. Having only one sister, I find this all really interesting. From what I have seen, Rob clearly sees Kim as the golden child, and Kim knows it - so she can say whatever she wants to her brother, and she can then run to her mommy when Rob has the gall to say something back, saying things to Kris like "Your son is so unstable! He's being mean to me, make him stop!" Maybe Kim gets bored when everyone is getting along? Maybe she sees out of the corner of her eye that the camera is panning away from her and needs a way to make it come back? Have Kim and Rob ever gotten along? Admittedly, I haven't seen the first few seasons and am playing catch-up. See? FASCINATING stuff!

I say, gather all the BH wives and drop them off in Ohio. Film them for a few months. Watch them struggle with crazy, random things such as thunderstorms and hobbled miniature ponies. No private jets, no white parties, make them shop for clothes at Target and food at Aldi. Ratings gold. I loooooove Eileen, but agree with most here - there's something off about her marriage. Vince treats her like a bumbling airhead. And holy cow, watching him try to pull the price tag off of a $500 dress almost had me hyperventilating. However, I think that $500 is probably fairly reasonable compared to what the other wives might purchase. I like that Eileen felt kind of bad about such an extravagant expense. EDITING to add: I mean no disrespect to Ohio. I am just north in Michigan. They can come here too...we also have thunder and rain.:)

This wins the Interwebz for today. Seriously. I watched him do it and still cannot believe the utter lack of empathy. What a creeper.

When Fred Savage said the words "upside-down," I belly-laughed so hard I surprised even myself. Did NOT see that particular detail coming at all! I can't get over how perfect Rob and Fred are as brothers. They play off of each other so well!

How much say does Kris get over what goes into the shows? You're right - she should've either shut Kim down or had the scene removed. I wonder if it had been anyone but Kim making that horrible joke about Rob, would Kris have spoken up? But now that I think about it, I doubt any of the other sisters would've made that joke. Kim is the only one who would laugh at her very likely mentally ill brother. Good one, Kim, you witch. And a possibly dumb question about Kylie - did she have her lips surgically enhanced, or is she drawing on those clown lips with makeup? If it's surgical, what on earth would possess Kris to okay something like that? Kylie looked so much prettier before she turned herself into Kim 2.0. Is Kris so desperate to keep her kids in the headlines that she okayed Kylie enhancing her lips to laughable proportions?

Abram interviewed that he worked hard to portray himself as a crazy person, and in his own words, "apparently, it worked." So is he crazy? Not crazy? Giving us a long-term, Oscar-worthy performance of a crazy person? Is he really completely calm, gentle and rational, and is laughing at everyone who ever called him crazy? Is he crazy and just doesn't know it? I don't know, but every time he's on the screen, I can't take my eyes off of him. I love his hatred of John. I hold out much hope that Abram and CT join (crazy) forces and reduce Johnny Bananas to a mushy pile of banana tears.

I've heard the K sisters mention that they coddled Rob after their father passed away. I'm sure they were all grief-stricken, but perhaps Rob (as the only son) most of all. I have to wonder if they really knew or understood how to care for their brother, so they just gave him whatever he wanted. Unfortunately, he seems stuck now - maybe in his mind, he is still a 15-year old missing his father and the advice Robert Sr. would've given him and can't figure out how to move on. Like Scott said about his own situation: he wants to be happy, he just has no idea how to go about it. Both of these men seem truly stuck in their bad habits and addictions and have not been able to figure out how to be happy. I feel for both of them. At some point, they have to decide to make changes and make those changes stick, but I can see how awful of a struggle it must be. And while they both signed on for this show, to have your real-life struggles filmed and packaged neatly into people's Sunday evening entertainment is just too weird for me to wrap my head around.

You said exactly what I've been thinking. There's something so very "off" about going on with social media as if nothing is wrong. I guess I expect it from the girls, but it's Kris that really bothers me the most. I know she's the "momager" and her brand is her kids. But as a mother myself, I just cannot fathom the thought process that would keep me posting inane selfies and re-posts while I had a child in crisis. I certainly wouldn't want her posting about Rob (even though I can't help but think she's got to be wondering how to spin all this for money and attention), but I guess I'd prefer to think that she is lying low and spending time with her son, not glued to her phone. And that joke from Kim about Rob's tattoos...while I get that this was filmed before his health scare, it's still in extremely bad taste, especially when it must be well-established that Rob does not want to appear or be part of his family's show at this time. Bringing up his name, especially with such a craptastically insensitive joke, shows a complete lack of respect and regard for Rob. But coming from Kim...well, I suppose we shouldn't be surprised at all.

At least Kim has Kanye to keep their son level-headed, practical, and down to earth. LOLOLOLOLOL

Right - Cody Simpson's mom, if I'm not mistaken (and I only know who Cody Simpson is because my daughter got his autograph several years ago). ETA: Just read that her work schedule and visa complicated her filming with the RHOBH. So...does that mean we get yet another wife?

I wonder if Rob's step-brothers would be able to give him some support in getting healthy. The Jenner boys seem to be all about being outside and doing different activities to stay in shape. I don't suppose Caitlyn would be much help to Rob at this point. I know Rob is a grown man, but there seems to be a serious lack of male role models for him to relate to. Or maybe I'm giving the entire extended family way too much credit, who knows. Oh, and nice to see Kris is flying back home. Color me shocked.

Lisa V. played with Erika in the same way my cat used to catch and stun a chipmunk, and then playfully paw at him on the back porch. I loved it. I'm not sure about Erika yet, but she didn't fold under the withering, gleeful Britishness of Lisa V. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't take much for Lisa to make me cry, so there's that. I am terrified of swans and geese. They can be vicious when provoked, so it cracked me up how Ken simply tucked the giant bird under his arm and herded it into the car, as if this is something one does every day. I think Lisa asked Ken to buckle the bird's seat belt as well. Just another day in the VanderPump home.

THIS x 1,000. Who is she laughing with? The cameraman? I doubt he finds her funny. Does she think we're sitting on our couches laughing along with her? It's so weird. Oh, Yo. She is sick, no doubt. But I feel like once her women friends start to accept her illness, she has to one-up herself for some reason - in order to keep them asking questions? Worrying about her? I don't know. But once they all seemed to accept the Lyme disease diagnosis, Yo starts discussing the 457 treatments she's doing. Once that shock wore off a little bit, Yo announces that her children also have Lyme. Yo keeps pushing and pushing, and feeding the others more tidbits of information...is this Yo's way of making sure the other wives don't forget about her? I have no idea but it sure seems bizarre that after all this time, she only now mentions that her children also have the disease. Yo might end up being the little girl who cried "wolf" pretty soon.

I do hope he takes this seriously and gets better. He can control it (my husband is also diabetic), but he has to want to. It does take a fairly large amount of work and discipline. He'll have to learn a brand new lifestyle. I wish him well. Interestingly, last night I caught the two-part "Therapy" episodes. I'd never seen them before, so I'm not sure how long ago they were filmed, but Rob was certainly in a fair amount of emotional pain back then. The reactions from his family were interesting to me - Khloe went after him when he left the room in tears, Kris daintily dabbed at a tear or two but remained seated right next to Kim. Kourtney was visibly upset, but I don't think Kim's expression changed at all. I'd imagine Rob feels the loss of their father the most, and it's no wonder he probably thinks that no one really understands him. I don't think they try. When Kim said that Kris doesn't know how to be a mother to a son, I about fell off the couch. What I took that to mean is, Kris doesn't know how to market and make money off of Rob, so she ignores him. I also find it difficult to believe that, with all of the doctors the Kardashians seem to have coming and going, no one thought to test him for diabetes before he basically collapsed? I'm sure he had pronounced symptoms (I know my husband certainly did) - did no one think to check for this? Unless Rob himself refused to see a doctor, which I suppose is possible, but this is not rocket science - there are definitive symptoms when one has diabetes, and I'm trying to figure out how no one ever suspected it.

De-lurking on this forum to say: bring back Derrick, Abram, Mark (original RR..yes, I am old) and CT and I'm all in. Anyone remember Yes? Bring him back, too. I am far too old to still be watching these challenge shows. So thank you, Abram, for showing up and giving me a flimsy but viable excuse for continuing to watch: and that excuse was, "Hey, someone I actually remember from Road Rules! Must keep watching!" And although I would not be able to handle his version of crazy in real life, he makes for scarily unpredictable television...and he and Cara Maria are an oddly perfect couple. Should be interesting. Now where is CT?!
