Her presentation was off-putting, her complaints incessant, her pushiness overwhelming, but I gotta say, she was NOT wrong in many of the things she was saying. This is billed as an extravagant, luxury experience. Have fricken lotions and potions in the staterooms. (I know everyone packs their own personal care products, but it's fun, and expected, to see what the fancy dancy lodging puts out, that you then take home with you.) Have snick snacks available 24/7. Tell your guests where the outlets are hidden. Hot food should be served hot. I'm not a Jill fan or apologist - she is TOO much, she is her horrible mother redux - but when she's right, she's right. After all, even a blind squirrel will eventually trip over a nut in the woods.

I think it is because it is costing them money that they are never going to get back; they won't be winning the lawsuit.

"As an athlete" (I'm not) I know that AM is full of shit. Blame, blame, blame, it's everyone's fault but her own. Did "they" tell you to lie about your professional credentials, to go on for over 2+ hours at a party about an esophagus, to misrepresent and/or mis-attribute what people said? I doubt that "they" did. Even if "they" did, you are a grown as woman with your own autonomy, should have read the room, and corrected course. You are out because of YOU.

This reunion has shown me one thing very clearly: we are never getting rid of Kyle from this show. She’s on it until the plug is pulled on the franchise. She well and truly showed her ass all season long and destroyed any goodwill left with most viewers. Since she won’t be kicked off I’m now hoping Garcelle, Sutton, and Crystal walk, leaving Kyle and Erica to completely sink the ship.

Remember way back in one of the very first seasons, Kyle and Mo participated in a charity bike race for cancer. I don’t think it was a century ride, but it was a longer distance. It just about took her out. She and Mo both were not in shape for it. Now she is claiming she has always worked out and this exercising is not new to her. Please. She is in her mid-50s, smack into menopause. She has not slimmed down as much as she has, which is a lot because she has always been a short, stockier person, through diet and exercise alone. I applaud her commitment to both, but she’s been assisted by medicines and/or surgeries. More power to her. She has altered her face beyond recognition from her early years and looks great, though she needs to lay off the lips. I think she’s now moved on to lipo, cool sculpting, whatever.

I’m really confused and think I must have watched an alternative version of this season seen only by me. Did no one else see all the scenes of Kyle coyly suggesting trouble in paradise (her marriage)? Literally pushing and poking at the women to ask her about it?! About her relationship with Morgan. I don’t understand the accusations now that Sutton, Garcelle, whoever were mean and nasty by asking questions. Kyle 100% acted like she wanted it brought up and got increasingly more agitated over the season when after the initial interest the women basically left it be.

100%. Well said. Wish I could give this a million applause emojis. I remember at the time of the scene thinking, “How in the hell is Dorit making this all about herself?!” It was shockingly tone deaf and ignorant. That this has become an indictment against Garcelle, about Garcelle overreacting, astounds me.

Maybe Kyle was on to something complaining about Dorit not being able to exercise. She’s too damn lazy to even swallow water, gotta get an IV! (I kid, but…..)

That’s exactly what he said, I remember because I thought it was a fairly astute comment for Jared.

Exactly! Gotta milk this for ALL possible ratings so Kyle can be THE star she has always wanted to be. To hell with the marriage, the truth, the children, Kyle is ready for her close up damnit.

That would have required her to remove her head from up her own ass. It’s been up there so long it’s grown in place. Disgusting, vile Kyle.

Kyle and Mauricio could have said no and they definitely should have not allowed Portia to be part of that mess. It’s ALL on Kyle and Mo regardless of whose idea it was. I’m 100% sure Kyle jumped with glee at the chance to have it filmed; it was her last chance to have her storyline, which had so far failed spectacularly to gain traction this season, to grab the spotlight.

I’m going to state this now, it may not age well, but so be it. I don’t care if next week’s Richards/Umansky family confab is the most life-affirming thing ever seen on TV; it’s 100% disgusting that the parents brought their children, one of whom is still a minor, onto TV, onto this low-rent reality show, to film this extremely personal discussion. Full stop.

Kyle exhibits no intellectual curiosity. She rarely asks pertinent follow up questions or delves for understanding in a conversation. Any questions she may ask are shallow and usually along the lines of “why would you think that about ME?” Or to glean information she can later use against someone. She is shallow and self-absorbed and is currently paying the personal price for that. Erika despite all her many faults, has a natural curiosity for knowledge (except for where all Tom’s money came from) that she has used to her benefit. That was very clear in this episode when she was able to actually converse with the Erudites. You can be completely uneducated formally, but if you are intellectually curious you can gain a lot of knowledge. Conversely, you can be well educated, but not intellectually curious and come off very dim and uninformed.

Re: Kyle not having heard of Merce. If it doesn’t personally involve Kyle, she doesn’t hear/listen to what anyone else is saying. Even if Sutton never mentioned Merce or her miscarriages, she is speaking of their importance to her now. Have some respect Kyle. Things are shared, or not, like the sham your marriage has become, in their own due time.
