I think Ken is phoning it in this season. He doesn't seem the slightest bit interested in any of the scenes he's been in. To me it's like he has no interest in participating with the show any more, not that I can blame him. I think, after his and Lisa's experience with Brandi, he is done and is only showing up when he has to, to support Lisa.

I think the museums are smart enough to not allow them to film on their premises. I can just imagine them (any franchise) clomping across marble floors. Someone is bound to lose their balance, slip and fall into something priceless, followed by uncontrolled giggling and pretending it never happened (with an accomplice that promises to keep quiet, but narc's her out at the first chance). The beautiful gardens will be destroyed by Lisa and Kyle reliving how, once, Kyle thought Lisa said she felt like she had been shagged backwards through a bush. Security arrives and are not amused. This is why we are left with shopping scenes in open-air markets....imo, naturally.

Yoyo is going to have to change her story, and blame it on Lyme brain; some guy in China has her beat on the parasite story: http://www.foxnews.com/health/2016/01/22/20-foot-tapeworm-found-inside-mans-intestines.html?intcmp=hpffo&intcmp=obnetwork this guy had a 20ft tapeworm!!

I guess they finally took the hint that we didn't want to see anymore "women empowering" pole-dancing lessons, so they decided to go with coochie waxing scenes instead...that sounds like something Bravo would do.

Does anyone else think Anwar's and Bella's weakened immune systems might be due to malnutrition since they're only allowed lemon-cleanse and the occasional well chewed almond?

and the way she bounces when she laughs, like she's so hysterical, she just can't contain herself.

My niece has had Lyme Disease twice. The first time she never saw a rash. She had Lyme meningitis, and it took a while to diagnose. She had debilitating headaches, but once she was diagnosed and given iv antibiotics, she seemed to do ok. The second time there was a definite bulls-eye rash, and she was put on antibiotics right away, She lost a lot of weight that she still hasn't been able to gain much back, but other than that, she's living a normal twenty-something life. She, in no way, shape, or form, lost "brain function" (except due to the extreme pain from the headaches) or had concurrent infections that Yolanda seems to think are commonplace (maybe because the countries she visits for experimental unapproved treatments have poor hygiene or sterilization procedures? -just a hunch).

oh, ok. Thanks for clearing that up. I thought she was the blonde from Yolanda's side. So, where did she (Erika) come from? Is she someone's friend, or just someone new added to the mix? I told you I was confused ;)

I am confused about the new girl. She was a "cocktail waitress and married the rich old lawyer that she used to "serve", I got that part, but now she's a dancer? singer? WTF is she or her alter ego? AND she's Yolanda's health advocate? See, this right here (amongst many other things) is why I can't take Yolanda and her mysterious maladies seriously. Who hires a cocktail waitress bimbo dancer to manage their healthcare? It's bad enough she's seeking experimental unproven, potentially dangerous treatments from various noncologists, and filling herself with toxic Chinese supplements rather than nutritious food, but THIS is the girl she hires as her advocate? Ok she might be able to mix a mean cocktail from the contents of that closet, but where is she getting this knowledge from to be able to properly advise Yolanda?

OMG how many more times will we hear "All families go through rough times" from Kyle? Yes, that may be true, but not like the Richards family! Sheesh! and we've only been subjected to 6yrs of this "rough patch". I think it bugs the bejeezus out of Mo how easily Kyle is manipulated by her sisters.

Because they want us to think they are wealthy enough to vacation on the Mediterranean and the Amalfi coast, they just don't want us to realize they can only afford to do it "off season"? Tho I'm sure they will say it had to do with the real estate market or the timing of the Hilton/Rothschild wedding.

How is it that Lisa Rinna can travel with Lisa V. on a whim to fetch a horse in Ohio, but doesn't have the time to visit her ailing father?

...and just as interesting that Kyle wanted so desperately to see them (aka the proof). Funny, a few seasons ago Yoyo, turned on Lisa and was complaining about how her Hollywood friend never came to visit her, not even to just stop by with some Starbucks'...cut to episode 1 this season, and, Oh look! here comes an alleged friend with some flowers and Starbucks'...coincidence? Everything in Yoyo's life is calculated and planned, down to wearing white against her face, or snuggling with a white blanket -white is not a good color on her and brings out her dark under eye circles. If you watch past episodes, she almost always wears a brightly colored top, it's more flattering to her skin tone -she was a model, I imagine she is acutely aware of what colors look best on her, and which ones make her look tired, or ill. just sayin'

I had to laugh when Lisa R got all excited about being on the "Where Are They Now?" episode. She said this must mean she's made it...no Lisa, it means you're a has-been.

Didn't she take the girls skeet or clay pigeon shooting at Mapperton last season? I wonder why the live targets this yr? Is it really that big a thing? Annabelle seemed to LOVE shooting in both situations IIRC. She didn't voice a preference that I recall. I still don't understand why she held the event at a different location and not at Mapperton again. If it's in such dire financial straits, why not show it off a bit more? If nothing else, it should result in an increase in American tourist visitors.

I completely agree with the part in bold. As far as Brooks was concerned, Vicki's mother's death could not have been timed better. At the beginning of the season she was picking over his food, telling him not to eat bread, etc. I also think whenever Vicki brought up the ladies' questions, he told her how to respond; "Just tell them you went with me,..." When her mother passed away, she was so wrapped up in her grief, it gave him more time to take himself to "appointments", etc. I think she definitely knew when they showed the mockument to Tamra. She had a look on her face like she wanted no part of any of it. Before that, I think she believed him, because she wanted to believe him, and she wanted him around,for whatever reason.

Oh, well that sucks. Maybe it depends on the hospital. I did work at in a nationally known hospital for a while, and it was amazing the number of charities that, at least, paid for the pharmacy bill. I guess I was overly optimistic about the availability of help for those outrageous expenses. I've also heard of hospitals working out long term payment plans, though I have no idea how that would work with an elderly, or terminal patient.

Fortunately, hospitals work with a lot of charities that will help out in all kinds of situations, and pharmaceutical companies help with drug costs. To the best of my knowledge, if a patient wants treatment but can't afford it, they will not let the patient go untreated, they have ways to help with the costs.

To me, it sounded like they were discussing whether Annabelle wanted to be part of the group or not. I think Caroline was trying to say that Annabelle can't say she'll go somewhere or do something with the group and then isolate herself and/or alienate everyone else. Caroline said that each of the other women at some point had come to her and asked if they had done something to offend Annabelle, or if she knew if/why Annabelle was mad at them. So, imo, Caroline was saying either be a part of the group and play nice with the others, or take your ball and go home. I don't think she was giving her an ultimatum as much as she was making her aware of how her behavior had affected the others, and giving her bit of advice on what to do about it, very bluntly.

NO!!! not Brandi!! I can just see it now; she'll be hanging all over David, and he won't mind. Shannon will need to be committed. The brat/cat fight that is sure to happen between her and Meghan and/or Tamra would be fun to watch though.

Is there a patient ID/account number or invoice number? I don't see them either

It sounded like David and Shannon had become disconnected. She blamed his work schedule vs her schedule with the kids for why they were sleeping in separate rooms. I imagine they weren't intimate very often. For whatever reason, he and the side piece connected and got along, and maybe found a companionship that had been lost in their own marriages. Instead of trying to reconnect with their own spouses and fix what was missing in their marriages, they opted for each other. Just a theory.

I'm pretty sure if Tamra was faking it for attention, they'd have heard WAY more about it.

Do you think she had to be talked into wearing the white (one piece) bathing suit underneath? If he did, he didn't tell the press -or probably anyone-that kind of thing would get leaked faster than Shannon's butt after a sitolonic. He did get a cute hat from some kids with cancer when he was in for one of his treatments that said "Cancer fears ME". I'd rather buy/make a donation for one of those than Meghan's "Cancer Sucks" trucker hats.

Being the governor does have it's perks. I'd suggest Brooks try to get an appt there, but we all know the plane will have a flat tire, or hit a goose, or the pilot won't show up, the car rental agency will be out of cars, no cabs or buses, etc, etc,...
