The purses are so expensive, you want to keep track of it. Plus, all these ladies need quick access within fingers reach to their mirrors and make-up and phone-- drugs, LOL. Kidding on the last one. It's something to fiddle with, they can throw their food they don't eat in there, they can take swigs of their booze when rounding the corner in the shadows. I'm making myself wonder why I don't always carry my purse! Also, my mom ALWAYS has her purse within eyeshot. Even at the house. She's paranoid though and worried someone will go through it and maybe take her 5 dollars. Mo has kind of been a jerk this season. I think they have moved on from one another and the scenes "reenacted" of sorts. I think Kyle being so emotional and all over the place with her mood, and just in general looking very depressed and sad, is due to a great deal with having to deal with the demise of her marriage and probably knowing MO was seeing someone else. Their scenes just seem so forced and disingenuous. Mo doesn't act like he even cares about Kyle at all, and vice versa.

I love the editors! They showed Sutton not once but TWICE pour her 1.99 "mixer" ocean spray grapefruit juice into her booze. I'm not a snob at all, but I'm not putting that stuff anywhere near my good vodka. That stuff would be a great mixer for Kobel! I was surprised to see a cheap sparkling wine there, but Sutton's dig was just too perfectly ironic. AM said that she had a bunch of other friends there-- maybe they were who was intended to drink (or maybe they brought) the Kobel. I hope it comes up at the reunion! This episode confirmed that Erika and Garcelle are VERY interested in shiny expensive diamond rings. Me thinks they won't be will single for long-- as soon as they find a supplier! LOL. I see them dating for a hot second and then boom married.

Oh, twist on theme this episode. "Letting go. New Chapter." Garcelle just now realizes her kids are growing up and she needs a life. Sutton realizes her ex husband (I was surprised that he lives down the street and they were close/there for each other) is actually her ex ex and is moving. She needs a life now. And Kyle is letting go of Mo. From my understanding, it's really a bad sign when someone who is sober because of a drinking problem starts drinking the fake stuff-- because they still have the psychological dependency on it. But I'm seeing Kyle as a huge mess this season-- she seems very unhappy and all over the place. She also looks tired and worn out a lot. Last-- because I feel like I'm picking on her, is I don't really believe the issues are with Mo. I do think they are having problems, but I feel the way they are playing it out on Bravo is an act. The "bar" scene was just that-- a heavily edited and produced scene-- Kyle's fake beer was full, then almost empty, then full, then half full again-- and the same shot of her taking a drink at least 3-times. I think the marital discourse storyline between her and Mo-- it's a compromise between the two-- Mo agreed to let Kyle control the narrative. It's not like this year Mo's business just picked up. He's been super busy the entire time this show was on and the girls were all little. Kyle's friend died and Kyle had a celebration. Next episode, Sutton is celebrating her friend who died. Last episode Erika showed up hammered to an event and had a great time. This episode, SUTTON shows up at an event super hammered. I think the producers are lazy and just recycling the same storylines. It's like a sitcom where the writers run out of new things for the characters to go through. Not complaining though-- it's way better than when the trouble-makers were running the storylines. Erika's therapist is a TV therapist, so I'm pretty sure she is on contract with Bravo or something similar to that. She had a reality TV show for years on VH1 and runs all the media circuits. I think her scenes with Erika are 100% produced by the writers on the show, BASED on real therapy that Erika is in/been in with her real therapist.

I don't think it's nearly at the same level, and also, since all of them have a glam squad, I think that Bravo (for those who can't afford) puts their staff in a different part of the hotel, and on a commercial flight (clearly, cuz they all came separately and at once and are likely staying in more humble dwellings). But really I added to say that Ericka doesn't look NEARLY as good as she did before. She made the comment years ago, "I have money. You think I'm going to look like a hag?" And now she sort of does look haggard. It's expensive keeping up on botox fillers, and all the treatments and I also wonder if her spending is being scrutinized with the whole legal stuff, and she has to be careful to look modest with her spending.

I noticed on several episodes this season, Kyle will be right next to someone and be on her phone or looking out the window totally nonengaged in what others are saying-- I found it really salient when people are talking about deep topics and she doesn't tune in. Not to be mean, but I don't think she really understands and she has a hard time following conversations. She does seem legit confused a lot. She also seems to be pretty insecure about her lack of education, so I do think she might have some learning or IQ issues there. Sorry. I feel bad saying that.

I feel like this is a theme this season. Sad and lonely. Loss. Dorit is sad and lonely, Garcelle said in her interview tonight that she is lonely (but that she is okay single -- said with a sad long face). Crystal is losing her incestuous relationship with her brother, Kyle has the most losses- sister, friend, husband... It's wrong. But it's Bravo so of course they do this. I think it's just part of the theme and she fit it in. Kyle had an event that focused on her dead friend, so Sutton has to do the same. But really, before the season starts, production sits down with each of the ladies and they discuss storylines. I think in real life, production probably worked with Sutton to pull and weave the whole story together. Sadness, loneliness, loss. They all are bringing their best. Except AM who was the last minute addition. I think they are just letting her figure it out.

I wonder if the status of being married is really about the diamond ring. I can see all of these women being extremely jealous of someone's 10+ carat bling, especially if they don't have one to wear. Something about buying yourself a huge diamond is odd too. Landing a rich guy does come with a certain status and level of respect generally as well, and these ladies are all pretty old school. I would agree that men don't have nearly as much to offer women in this day and age, but I can see many women chasing the ring as well.

I think I was hallucinating at some points during this episode. I thought I heard Clayton's mom complaining about Anali, who is from Peru, cooking too much Peruvian food and speaking too much Spanish. Okay. That's what she knows how to make, and that's the language she knows how to speak. How on earth is she expected to know how to cook American food? And apparently, Clayton's mom also can't cook American food, or she can, why doesn't she? Clayton's sister is super funny. Citra has the best personality of anyone in her family by 1000000000000%

I have always liked Kyle on this show. She’s pretty even keeled for the most part and to me is a stabilizing force on the show and has never been turned on or bullied like the others either. So she has a toughness because really no one talks shit about her which says a lot to me. Even Sutton kisses her ass. If I’m remembering, she has a few controversial scenes, like the “your such a liar, “ and “you’re an alcoholic!” and of course Lisa V turned on her and the witch hated her, but they were gone soon after. I think she is relatable in her simpleness and insecurity. She doesn’t try to be the smartest or funniest or most beautiful or fashionable in the room, she’s just trying to have fun and is usually pretty pulled together. I think Crystal does try a touch too much to show her intelligence and seems to be insecure about being on the show in general—her problem and makes her a little hard to warm up to, for me as a viewer. Erika has serious balls, and in a good way. She’s still in the game, still herself, and is fighting for what she feels she should have, and I must respect that. Personally, I would have completely fallen apart and been incredibly ashamed—she just has this toughness that keeps her going and is very interesting and cool to see (although I do think she and Tom should both be forced to pay back all the money owed to the victims, but I’m not holding it against her hustle in the meantime). I sort of wonder if Tom was slipping cognitively and had been for quite some time, and that’s why he got so sloppy and made such majorly horrible decisions—it just doesn’t seem like something someone who has a reputation exactly for paying victims their money, and is known to perform at such a high level would do. There was no way he wasn’t going to get caught. I think he was sort of going in and out for quite some time. And given how scared everyone was of him—I remember Erika’s first scene with him, she was carefully showing him a tile in the backyard and asking for permission to have it replaced/fixed. Fast forward a few years and she has her own account with 10 million dollars deposited into it. Yeah, she definitely rode that party train till the last shot. I like Sutton so much. So real and genuine with her smile and being goofy. Garcelle seems to be having a bit of an identity crisis—being nicer and less of a hater doesn’t mean she has to be a different person (she seems to be code switching a lot this season) and I think she’s trying to figure herself out and who she really is. IMO.

I thought Erika told Krystal that she would appreciate the news specifically was because Krystal was "smart" and could understand the legalese. Note that no one understood what she was talking about-- another reason she didn't get the reaction she wanted. Plus, if they did understand that she actually APPEALED the decision to take the earrings as part of the estate, they would really have been emotionless. It could also be because Krystal said that the key to long marriage is to buy your wife diamonds to keep and not to borrow. She tagged RHOBH so it was referencing something, but I always thought it was Dorit.

The ladies point to Erika always was, "Who cares about the earrings. Let them go so the victims can be repaid." and Erika's point was always, "They don't have the legal right to take them." So they were always talking around and over each other. When Erika said that it's official, the earrings shouldn't have been taken (weren't they auctioned and sold and used to repay the victims long ago?) no one cared because they thought Erika should have been cool with selling them anyway. In my opinion, every last asset that Tom and Erika had should have been taken to pay back the victims. This show is so much better without Rinna! I'm actually enjoying it again. This is the first season that I've seen it with Krystal (I took a long break), and I'm hoping she will grow on me. I also think once AM relaxes a little bit she will be a good addition as well.

I do think Krystal said that to AM because she thought AM was a anesthesiologist (and gave her some IQ credit), and she was probably also drinking. Also, this was in 2022 that Krystal met AM, so a year or so ago, not six years. Is there anyone in this group that Kyle likes besides AM? I love Sutton. She is funny and cute and she really doesn't care what other people think and she seems to have fun. She doesn't seem to make fun of other people (like AM and Kyle) and then call it a joke.

AM seems to be pretty ADHD. She has a hard time focusing and she is very impulsive in what she says. Being high energy and quick is probably very helpful at the hospital, but in a chill social setting she always seems to bounce off the walls. I actually like her, and I feel for her since she seems to also lack social skills. I don't know why anyone cares what Dorit says, no one likes her that much. It's not like they are good friends and she hurt them. I don't really like Krystal's clothes. Her style of flowing skirts with a cut out and cupped shoulders looks weird to me. I don't think Sutton paid for the trip just because I don't think she would ever pick that hotel/lodging area. She might have swung for the private jet though, since doesn't Bravo put people on commercial? I do think Bravo paid for the glam squads to come as well and they all went commercial flight.

Randomish thoughts. I don't think Denise knew what she was mad about at the dinner party where she was high and wearing her jacket on upside down. I think she was maybe acting at first, and then got confused and forgot what was happening, and thought she was mad. She wasn't tracking anything. The whole thing was dumb, but it was "fun" to see Denise so messed up even though I wonder how healthy she is. I don't think anyone is jealous, today of Denise. Except Lisa Rinna who is jealous of everyone. Kyle needs to find something better to do than watch how much her friends and family eat, drink, and question if they did or didn't "imbibe" beforehand. She's so judgmental. I don't understand Kim, Kyle and Kathy as sisters, but Kathy treats Kyle like Kyle treats Kim.

I picked up on a lot of eagerness from Dorit this episode especially, trying to get Kyle's attention. I noticed when she entered the celebration of life event, she looked like she wanted to have a good hug and heartfelt exchange with Kyle, and Kyle simply said, "thanks for coming" and briefly hugged her and moved right away on. Dorit looked a little rejected and embarrassed. I don't think Kyle likes Dorit that much. Dorit's eagerness to scissor with Kyle was at first surprising to me, but then I got it once I realize she's trying really hard to get Kyle to "like her." But unfortunate when Dorit said "that's how rumors start" referencing the sharing of the cantaloupe.

The lady with the long blond hair that walked Kyle's bags out to the car or wherever looked like the exact same person who showed Alexia and Frankie the apartment in Miami. Could it be the same person?

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I don't really believe much of any of them, including Natalia. There is something unlikeable about her as well-- she just seems really shady and I think the whole lot of them are scam artists that were (or now are) running some sort of con.

I don't think not wanting to buy a house means you are broke. At least in this case. And I definitely don't think they were evicted. That said, both of them are shady, but Alexis does seem to be a little extra aware of Todd's scheming and their finances being in trouble. Him telling her to just go get whatever apartment-- is she supposed to put this in her name? She seemed confused about it-- like is this something that she is doing alone on paper and in-person? In any case, if anyone is able to sniff out shadiness in Todd and the apartment thing- it's Alexis, and she seems VERY suspicious and very worried about not owning a house. I think that's why she is pushing Peter to buy a house.

From Season 1 Kyle has always had a loyal sidekick to defend her. First it was Taylor, then Teddi, and now Annabelle. I think Kyle means well, but she struggles to comprehend everything that is going on. She is also very closed minded and judgmental, which I think is contributing to her depression this season. She just hasn't seen/done much. Her world is so small.,

When I was little in the 80s I got a Cabbage Patch Doll for Christmas when they were VERY difficult to get. People were on the news almost killing each other for these dolls when they were put on the shelf. I took this doll with me everyone and placed in front and center every time I sat down. I wanted everyone to know I had this hard to find/hard to buy item. I grew out of it. Just saying.

Yes, she was awesome, and paired with Derek, as was Jennifer Grey. Amber was herself but she also really connected with the audience and seemed like she was having such a fun time. Her energy was contagious.

I don't mean they weren't powerful and fierce. But they were submissive in their role and played the female in the dancing. It's hard to explain. I'm not doing it well. They tried hard to connect emotionally with their partner during the dance.

IMO, Daniella is an absolute gorgeous dancer. She's so tall, yet she is so limber, and I love the shapes she makes when she dances-- she really can curve her back and put her body in these cool postures. I think Jason has a huge crush on her-- when they are dancing together, he just stares at her in amazement. It's almost like he can't believe she is in front of him. Regarding black contestants being harshly judged, I have noticed that as well. Has a black female contestant ever won? I'm not even sure. I think the ballroom dancing culture commands a very traditional male leading a traditional submissive female. Charity dances very well, but her face is tense. I think people do best on this show who can act submissive (females) or dominant (men).

Jenn has and has had so much botox her lines are now at her hairline. She's going to start taking botox on her scalp. I find Jenn to be very fake looking and horse facey. I don't think she is pretty at all. I don't like her personality and she hasn't really made any effort to be there for anyone but Tamra who hates her with a passion. Gina seems to really like Heather, and Heather does seem a little nicer to her than the others. Heather has been rude to everyone, and appears to have extra disdain for Taylor (understand she was hurt by Heather's rejection and mocking) and Emily. I still think Heather's snobbiness at the ranch sealed it for Tamra, but I'm not sure where Tamra turned hard core on Heather.
