Oh, wow, I've actually been finding LisaV quite tolerable this season, but it looks like the stealth bitch is back in full force. I actually do agree that Eileen should have just cut it off if she didn't want to discuss it, but I think she felt that by not going into it, that it was like she was trying to hide something. I'm not even sure what LisaV aim was, if she was just bored or truly shit-stirring. Her "idle" quizzing of Erika in the limo makes me think it was the latter. Erika handled Bethenney like a champ, and it was nice that all of the other women chimed in with nice things when Bethenney was doing her thing. I, however, will stick to my rule to give a new housewife at least two seasons before forming a full opinion. I don't even know with LisaR anymore. Look, I get that just because she posed for Playboy (twice) that it doesn't mean that she has to be comfortable with any and all forms of sexual expression, but that whole thing seemed like a real put-on. And in the previews, OJ, wtf?

Honestly, what came through for me more was some passive-aggressive resentment from Lauren towards Porsha. Porsha may be self-absorbed, but IMO she was absolutely correct to ask Lauren if she wanted to be there, given that Lauren kept slipping in these little side comments like about having to fly coach, and complaining that the first thing that she has to do in the morning is answer questions about Porsha. Isn't that what an assistant is supposed to do?

Mmmm, no, she just sucks forever and a day. Exactly. And she chose to have this filmed, and to have that bloody thing displayed for all to see.

Fuck you, Yolanda, for making me look at your bloody implant. Makes me long for the innocence of LisaR getting waxed. I thought that the, er, conversation between Vince and Eileen was interesting, to say the least. And that was some RHOA-worthy shade that Eileen was throwing at Vince. I mean, damn. As far as the Kimzilla stuff, lol. I have a feeling that Kyle's talking head wasn't even about that particular situation, and that her comment wasn't aimed at LisaV. Admittedly, that's based on the fact that I've already seen that top several times this season, and there's still drama with Yolanda to come. Overall, a rather uneventful episode, except of course for the BLOODY BOOB IMPLANT!

It doesn't even sound like she's done that much, though. She seemed like she had already checked out. Forgot to mention, Kandi REALLY gave me Mama Joyce vibes in her rant to Porsha. She was really irked at the idea that Porsha might think that Phaedra needed more support at that time. And then guess who pops up on the promo!

Porsha can be very self-absorbed, but I get why she's concerned, and it would have been good if Lauren had made any indication that she'd pulled together some good candidates to fill in and/or take over permanently. I simply don't care about Kenya. I guess I can see why she turned out to be such an asshole, but she's still an asshole, so... Phaedra is shady, and Kandi is passive-aggressive and weak, so there's no side there for me to take.

Wow, can't add too much more here that hasn't already been said about Yolanda. It was disgusting enough reading about her comments saying her kids had Lyme and blaming any shortcomings on that, but seeing her say it out loud was even worse, and then the will reading was a new low. I really enjoyed the gathering of all the ladies. I'm ok with LisaV when she lets her stealth bitch be visible for all to see, it's when she plays coy and innocent that I dislike her the most. She was definitely giving a strange competitive vibe to Erika, who responded in kind. Oh, Eileen, I laughed so hard at Kyle's frantic "No, bitch!" reaction to her blabbing about LisaR. Count me in as not needing to see another waxing anytime soon. I missed the comment that LisaR made to the waxer, I kind of tuned out that whole scene.

Here's an article on EW where the showrunners go over what will remain the same, and what will be new in Season 2. I'm not thrilled by this. Honestly, the restraint shown last season in this aspect, both in avoiding any real love triangle and no gratuitous sex scenes, was really refreshing. I'd advise avoiding the comment section. ETA a photo of Elektra.

As far as the Munchhausen thing, I took them to mean that they'd never heard of it described as simply "Munchhausen", vs "Munchhausen by proxy", which is what I was familiar with from the tons of true crime tv that I watch. It never occurred to me to think of it as far as a person just making themselves sick. As for the bolded, this cracked me up. I personally go for the "Mmm hmm, I know, girl" response.

Well, just like with Taylor last week, I'm not exactly upset that LisaR voiced what I've been feeling for a long time. I'm just annoyed by her backtracking. Now I'm wondering who she's going to insinuate that she will drag down with her, because so far I haven't seen anything to show that LisaV, Eileen, or Kyle were encouraging this train of thought. Again, I will not be mad at anybody for expressing their doubts, but stand by it and don't try to weasel out of it. Is it bad that my toes curled in delight when Eileen was spilling the beans during the preview? Overall, I enjoyed this episode, shades of the beginning of last season where I was able to just enjoy everyone living their lives. I hung my head during the ear piercing thing. No, I have no issues with getting ear piercings, but don't bring a needle that has to go into my arm near me. The last time I had blood drawn was in college, and it was embarrassing. Erika is still ok so far, but I'll be glad to see her mix more with the other ladies.

lolwhut? I had no idea that this reunion happened, or that there was a romance between Kim and John!

I heard it as "Pass the Puss", but I guess what you said makes more sense. Honestly, though, I'm still processing the body suit with the big pubic patch. That was something. Very perplexing.

Neuroborreliosis -- ok, then. Anyways, I really enjoyed this episode. I felt bad for the horse, and the whole vibe that lady gave me was a little sketchy. It was smart to wait and have the horse checked out by a vet, but I wanted Lisa to get the horse away from there. Jury will remain out on Erika until I see more interaction from her with the other ladies. Overall she didn't bother me too much, though. Taylor, well, can't say I disagreed with the gist of what she was saying. And then next week Lisa goes to Wikipedia and throws out the "M" word. Well my, my, my. Thank you, editors, for replaying the scene of Kim climbing over the highway barrier or whatever that was. Still one of the most baffling and hilarious things I've seen on this show.

Yes, any other article I found on this went back to ROL. Look, I'm in no way above gossip, but ROL has put out too much stuff that's just straight up not true for me to ever give them the benefit of the doubt.

I have never heard of this site before this season, and most of their articles read like fan fiction, and they just seem to rewrite articles from their favorite source, radaronline. As soon as I realized that, I stopped taking this site seriously.

I freely admit that I'd be the friend with the (faux) shocked look on her face watching other friends do handstands in their bikinis and whatnot. However, my friends accept that I'm sort of a prude, and I accept that they are not, and quite frankly even my most staid sightseeing vacations are always brightened up by the antics of those friends. It didn't seem that anyone was trying to force her to do anything she didn't want to do. I get not being a party person, but it was just too much for me. And claiming the living room was just rude, even if there were two. That should be space where people can just flop down and mingle with each other. Having said that, I will always be her for Kim Fields calling out Kendra's shenanigans, so I'll give her a fresh start next week.

David's PR people battle back.

I really think I'm going to cause myself permanent damage with the amount of eye-rolling I do whenever Yolanda appears on-screen. For real, it felt like they got stuck at one point. Anyways, so far neither Lisa V. or Kyle have, IMO, said anything out of line, and I liked Kyle's insight into how your mind can have a lot do with your physical well-being a lot of the time. Eileen and Vince were sweet, and it made me anxious about whatever's going to come up with them later in the season. Hopefully it isn't as bad as the previews made it look. Normally Lisa V. gets on my nerves, but she's been pretty tolerable so far this season. And I can't get too mad at her for opening the can of worms with regard to Kathy and Rick, because up until now the rumors have been confined to what's been on the message board, and damn do I want more of THAT tea! And to me, Mauricio is at the point of absolutely no fucks to give, because he seemed like he would be MORE than willing to let out how he really feels on-camera, but doesn't because he loves Kyle. Kyle, girl, I guess it's too much to ask you to cut off both Kim and Kathy at the same time. Baby steps. I absolutely believe that she only went because Mauricio insisted.

I give up. Why would you want to keep people off-balance when it comes to a serious illness, particularly one that she claims she actually wants to spread more light and understanding on? As I said some pages back, I was more than willing to let Yolanda be, but just like with a certain someone, it's the need to "prove" things that's seems to be her undoing.

I do. Underneath all of the lemons and Lyme, at the end of the day, well, crazy bitch is crazy.

Oh, damn, I laughed waaaaay too hard at this!

Say what now? A cow licking her? I thought it was a blood disease, meaning it was transmitted that way. What?

Yes, I would love to see them delve more into the dynamic between Kyle and Kathy. And as I admittedly was following right along with Kim's antics since the reunion ended, I get why her name is going to crop up, particularly as they were filming when the second arrest happened. As far as Yolanda in this episode, I have to agree that this was pretty much a show to let everyone know just how ill she was. My interpretation of the ladies' reaction wasn't so much "OMG, no makeup, how dreadful!", but more that this was the first time they'd seen Yolanda not even put in the effort when joining them for something like a dress-up dinner. Ken, though, that was a whole different thing. He has to still be pissed about Yolanda's accusations from before. Yes, it was two years ago, but that's not something you easily get over. Having said that, damn Ken, he really wanted to let the world know he thought Yolanda looked like shit.

I finally figured out what has really been bothering me about Yolanda. When she first said she had Lyme disease, I went with it. I was willing to chalk up the endless sick selfies to her not letting the disease stifle her inner famewhore. It seemed that she was making the right decision and transitioning herself away from the show by going to a friend of last season, and I figured that was for the best so she wouldn't be bound by a production schedule and could film when she felt like it. When the reunion came, I did believe that she was conveniently using her illness as a way to avoid hard questions, but figured that she was probably there for the last time, so whatever. But then came the bullshit about her kids having it. But not perfect Gigi, just the 'lesser' ones who hadn't proven themselves to her satisfaction. I think Lyme disease has subconsciously become her go to for any imperfections in herself and now her kids. It's easier to say Bella isn't as successful a model, or didn't become an Olympian, or got arrested because of Lyme disease, rather than her not being good enough. Lord knows what slights poor Anwar is guilty of. And that is what really disgusts me. I'll probably never know how I'll she is or isn't, but filling her kids head with that garbage just makes her disgusting.

Honestly, I've felt it was coming for a long time. To me the sale of the house that was supposedly their dream home was always suspicious, but I genuinely don't like to speculate about marriages without any real proof, and on-screen there wasn't any real evidence of problems. There's also the fact that she does seem to be trying to latch on to her daughters' tabloid fame, and seems to recover enough to attend various events. I feel like she's finally getting a taste of the fame she truly craved, that not even being a cast member of RHOBH could give her.
