[Brandi Glanville: Drinking and Tweeting - a book and a lifestyle!]

When Dakota Fanning is asked which houswife she'd like to see off the show and she says you, that should tell you something...

 

i was thrilled when she said Brandi is too aggressive for her.  A lot of people in the tumblr-verse loves them some Brandi.  I'm glad she's not one of those young people.  And by the way can't believe she's 21.  i've been watching her for as long as I could remember.  A child actress who did it the right way.  Her parents deserves a big ovation for how they raised her.

 

Brandi Glanville Quitting or Fired: ‘The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ Needs Star To Survive – The Truth

 

Lisa Rinna Acting Without a Script: Battles Brandi Glanville and Kim Richards on ‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’

 

 

The minute Brandi and/or Kim is fired or Kim is downgraded, this will be me

 

Until then, if the ratings keep improving those two nutty, addicts will stay on BH.

[First Looks: The Locked One]

Im curious to what you all think, Im looking at this picture again and seems to Kim is quite "awakened."  Even on the bike ride with the group she's very refreshed - hair combed and makeup done up.  I wonder was her whole rip on Lisa R/Kyle/Eileen due to an angry drug withdrawal.  Now Im not saying "Yes to drugs" here but Im thinking maybe Kim is more lively and bounces off the walls best on drugs.  But the minute she doesnt have her pills, shes the Kim no one wants to be around: mean, unflittered, disrespectful, provoking, and hits below the belt.  I remember how creepy Kim was when I first saw her high off pills in the Paris episodes a few seasons back, she looked happy until when Lisa V questioned if she was on a sleeping pill.  I dunno, it hit me just now. 

[First Looks: The Locked One]

What bugs the shit out of me with these two (Brandi and Kim) is what I said above; they think they can get away with their bullshit. And they think they can because of the women they are doing it to. Which is why I'm kinda glad Lisa did go off. Brandi wouldn't dare say she'd kick the ass of one of the NJ or ATL HW. They'd take her up on her offer and then some. And I highly doubt that Kim would try to intimidate those HW either.

Brandi wouldnt be going on 4 seasons if she tried many of her antics on NJ or ATL. Thats why I love those two franchises they dont allow you to claim victimhood on them. You get caught being messy you pay price. Just ask Kenya and Danielle.

[First Looks: The Locked One]

I think people understand/sympathize with what/how/why Lisa R reacted, not that throwing wine, breaking the wine glass or grabbing Kim's face when Kim shoved her face/head over the table at Lisa, was the correct way to respond.

I know I do! When she was speaking about her sister's overdose Kim completely crapped on it. Kim had no heart or remorse. Then Kim kept wanting to talk about Harry and whatever deep dark secret she swear she knows. I understand Lisa's emotions well to why she snapped!

[Season 5 Reunion Spoilers, Previews, Gossip, Etc.]

Boy!  I can't wait for this reunion!!! Mainly because I can't stand Brandi and it's been a long time coming for her to get what's coming her way.  I hope Lisa R/Kyle/Eileen destroys her every level: from the wine throwing, to coming between sisters, her comment about Kyle's husband not wanting her and setting up Lisa R to be attacked by Kinglsey, I mean, Kim.  I wonder is Lisa V/Mohemmed being friends, which offends Brandi, will get brought up too.  I think she hates that friendship because Mohemmed didn't play her silly, smear campaign against Joanna Krupa.  Then when the men come on stage, please give me some of Mauricio vs Brandi!  I need this after her claim that Mauricio don't want Kyle. 

 

As for the Kim/Kyle just reading the tweets from Kitty seems like it got really emotional.  I don't know how Kim is gonna defend her actions, she's not really that good on reunions.  I hope the ladies went in her but because Brandi was the master manipulator she might not get hit too hard for what happened in Holland. 

 

 

At this point, Kim being sober would likely be shocking enough for Bravo to air.

 

 

Dying laughing!

[First Looks: The Locked One]

I feel like a carnival barker-or one of those guys that stands out in front of the peep shows trying to entice people in. This First Look could qualify as pure RH porn. It had it all.

I watched about 5 times. While Kim was wrong on so many levels, it was the best material she's had in the history of this show. It's good tv at it's finest! I can't lie.

Both Kyle and Kim agree that Kyle brought Kim onto the show but I am sure Bravo wanted both if possible. Kim explains the story at the 7:12 mark. http://forums.previously.tv/topic/17390-first-looks-upcoming-episodes/page-5

Bravo needs to rid Kim in order for Kyle to be set free. I'm so over the caretaker storyline and I want to see how Kyle fairs without Kim being a buzzkill. As for the video I'm pretty sure Kyle brought her onto the show because Kim was jobless and needed the money. Remember the limo ride, "My husband has taken care of like your his second effin' wife..." That's all I needed to know why Kim was ever on this show. Mauricio/Kyle was done with Kim mooching off them.

Wow good drugs since they are in Amsterdam-was it Monty or Kim that was that far off? Maybe both?

Is it me or do I feel Lisa V had one too many dime bags in that picture!!! LMFAO!!

[First Looks: The Locked One]

I also can't believe the nerve of Kim to insult Eileen about her face and hair. Really bitch? Have you looked at yourself in the mirror lately?  Eileen is five years older than you and looks 20 years younger. The fuck outta here.

 

Ugh!!!! Is it Tuesday yet?

 

I tickled when Kim tried to throw her little shade at Eileen.  She looked ridiculous!  She gets a D- minus for trying though.

[First Looks: The Locked One]

Yolanda brought up the subject because she had been told by Brandi EVERYONE was talking about Bella being an alcoholic.  So maybe Kim should have not gotten so nasty.  All Kim proved herself to be is a far from sober, struggling recovery addict that is absolutely vicious and uncaring-she even went after her sister again-who has had little or nothing to do with the conversations Kim has been having with Lisar.

 

 

Thank you!  I thought I was the only one that noticed this! The producers probably pulled Yo to the side and get the ball rolling in the drama.  Yo is like Cynthia only difference Cynthia gives herself away even when she doesn't say anything, the rest of the women know it was her that gossiped or snitched. Yo in this moment delivered and went undeteched I don't even think the other women at the table had a clue what she was pulling with the sob story about Bella's DUI. 

 

LisaR - Her reaction (performance) was and always be a memorable HW image. I honestly believe that she's upped her drama quotient sufficiently to secure herself a spot on next season's RHOBH. I also think she borrowed a page from another housewife who made her bones in a similar fashion.

Am I the only one who who sees the similarity in these two events?

 

The Lisa R/Teresa G comparison, I agree.  Lisa R is a mix of Teresa and Camille!  One minute she's going on and on about Harry and his life and then the next she's nearly choking someone and a wine glass smash! 

[First Looks: The Locked One]

Wow.  My thoughts, in no particular order.  

 

1.  As others have said, RUN, KYLE, KEEP RUNNING, NEVER STOP.   I hate to say Brandi is right about anything, but I do think Kim has deep-rooted antagonism towards Kyle, maybe even hatred.  I can't imagine talking to anyone ever the way Kim talks to Kyle, let alone anyone I have any positive feelings for at all.  For whatever reason (Big Kathy, codependency, protectiveness of the children), Kyle takes the abuse and keeps taking it.  I wish she would walk away.  I doubt she will.  Her life would be SO MUCH BETTER if she could leave both her sisters behind, but I think she is too needy and dramatic to step away from them.

 

2.  Kim is evil.  Ditto to everyone who said that.  I do think that Kim knows that her life is unraveling, she knows she is "off the wagon," she knows what happened last time she spiraled (among other things, I suspect she very nearly lost this job), and she is frantic about being exposed, and lashing out.  I flash back to what that old lady reported Kim said when Kingsley bit her  - that Kim begged her "don't tell anyone, they'll take away my show."  I think Kim is utterly ruined and broken (and awful) and terrified of losing this job and the little fragment of limelight that I think might be her true addiction.  She is absolutely full of herself for being "a star" again, she thinks no one has a right to question any of her behavior no matter how obvious, and she becomes absolutely vicious when she thinks she's attacked. (Huh.  Now I'm wondering if that has anything to do with Kingsley's behavior - dogs can pick up on their owner's emotions, and I wonder if Kingsley picked up on Kim's ambient hostility and fear and acted on it.)  i could write much more on Kim's pathology, but you all have covered a lot of it just so well, and I'm interested in one other thing...

 

3.  Finally, Brandi.  I also noticed that Brandi was very quietly trying to defuse Kim throughout - at first she was utterly silent, then she was whispering to her to stop, then she was trying gently to hold her back.  When it's gone too far for Brandi, you know it's gone too far.   I think Brandi started this season with a plan:  to recruit Kim to her side, and together to take down Kyle.  People have spoken about Brandi's deep rooted hatred (I think jealousy) of Kyle, and I do think that Brandi started the season intending to make Kyle her target, and used Kim to do it.  But now, she has found herself in a mess she can't get out of.  I think she realized sometime after poker night that Kim's problems were much, much worse than Brandi had realized; and that once she had publicly proclaimed herself Kim's only ally, and openly separated Kim from Kyle, she then found herself "stuck" with Kim, and it was much, much, MUCH different than her previous alliances with Adrienne or Lisa or Yolanda, who are intact people with intact lives, who were never emotionally dependent on Brandi, who never "needed" her in any real way.  She found herself having appointed herself the caretaker of Kim, someone who is completely broken, and not only that, she found that she herself had removed the only other support system that Kim had, Kyle, and had done so with great pride and vehemence - so now Brandi's stuck with her.

 

 

 

You hit the nail right on the head! 

 

Kim left me in pure disgust how she treated Kyle at that dinner table how threw Kathy (who isn't mother of the year her damn self) and Brandi in her face!  Kyle even said once in one episode Kathy and Kim are more attached to the hip than she and Kim.  Makes me wonder if Kathy enables Kim addiction.  If I'm Kyle I would be done and Kim showed who's more important to her.  Putting up with Kim emotionally and financially and that's how Kim repays her with the ultimate diss.  I know some will say she can't give up on her sister, but no way, Kyle has done this for way too long and has done more than enough for Kim.  I can see why Kyle never takes Kim anywhere and she even puts her best girlfriends like Faye and Taylor above Kim even.  Kim is so nasty to people!  Season 1 of this show dealing with Kim/Kyle makes more sense now than it did then.  That was Kyle's breaking point in that limo in the finale.  She'd grown tired of Kim's diva way, being unappreciatve, mean-spirited and of course her substance abuse.  Too bad most of the audience made Kyle out into the villian and Kim got the sympathy card!  To me, I thought Kyle did right.  Kim needed to be told off and should had been cut off the money train!  Kyle should let Kathy put up with Kim from here on.  She needs to break Big Kathy's hold from the grave once and for all!

 

The only people in Kim's life I would be focused on are her children, particularly Chad.  Kim is an unhappy 50 year old buzzkill who wants to see everyone miserable as her.  One last point, Kyle also needs to distance herself because her own marriage.  I'm almost convinced Kim won't be satified until Kyle and Mauricio's ends in a divorce.  We all saw how Kim didn't defend Kyle's marriage when Brandi made the comment that Mauircio didn't want her.  Kim is just that sick in the head she'll be thrilled to see that marriage possibly fail so she can emotionally hold Kyle hostage.

 

As for Brandi, she had the Puerto Rico replay all over again!  She riled up Kim and Kim became her mouthpiece to attack the very people she can't stand herself..  Eileen said it best she's addicted to chaos!  I'm willing to bet Brandi was probably laughing inside at a job well done.  I do also agree that Brandi went into this season banking she too could villianize Kyle and have a season 2 rehash of their feud.  The common denominator in why Brandi wanted to attack Kyle is not cause of Kim but it's Lisa Vanderpump!  Brandi is bitter and pissed that Kyle was able to get back in good with Lisa V., where she could not!  Brandi will never be the apple of Lisa's eye again because how she came for Lisa's liveihood!  Kyle even said in her access hollywood interview that there needs to be a housewife code and one of them was the liveihood.  Once you mess with someone's liveihood and try to expose it, I don't care if that person does it the legal or illegal way getting their money/lifestyle, all bets are off!  You will never get back what you once had again.  Brandi seems to not be processing this well at all.  I remember she even tried making a big deal that Adrienne only owned 3% of Palms.  Brandi is jealous of any successful woman - Adrienne, LVP, and Kyle and her snide comments, especially how Kyle spends her money is telling!  Had she would stayed in good standing with these women instead of burning them one by one she probably could had gotten something out of it (ie maybe good word for future endeavors and connections to the right people in Hollywood).  What a dumby woman!
