I say she has grown a bit because in an after show interview where she talked about her mother and herself calling her brother 100 times a day during the lock down period, trying to get him to come home (and he did). She also admitted she was the cause of current rift between herself and her brother because of that, and the entailing break up of her brothers relationship with Vivi. She said it caused her brother to lose trust in her, and you could see the pain in her face from knowing and accepting it was her fault. Admitting fault within herself while being filmed.. an unexpected moment of truth, on a reality show. Also maybe because she has that super successful coconut water business, and doesn't need to ride her entire existence upon her husbands coattails.

When they were on the dancing stage, I kept mistaking Ericas legs for Suttons legs. For being a dancer herself, she sure has lost a lot of muscle tone.

Well, I love Sutton but was VERY annoyed with her this episode. First of all… let the ladies do a little street vendor shopping! That’s one of the best parts of being in a foreign country. The street vendors! Finding things you can never find here in the US. There has to be time for shopping! She timed the last time they had to sneak into a store where she allotted them, 3 or 5 minutes, I forget. I would not want to go on a vacation with ANYbody who scheduled every moment of time spent there and dictated what you can and can not do while there. I’d rather stay home than deal with the frustration of that. Someone dictating what we do the whole time. Nope. She may jet to Barcelona any time she desires, but to invite the girls as guests and expect all to submit to her every non negotiable daily plan is entitled selfishness. Like she bought them a ticket which then is switched to her license to force them into her indulgences. The worst thing was the ashes of her friend, blowing back on all the girls. How horrible! I would have been horrified and disgusted if the ashes blew onto me, on my clothes, hair, in my mouth. Then making light of it saying “Well, thats the way the wind blows” and not feeling awful that she got ashes all over her friends, who were being good sports even doing this with her. I would have felt absolutely horrible if I was the cause of something like that occurring. The topper was during her confessional when she laughed that it got all over them, but missed her. She was spared the ash covering and thought it funny. If she thinks it’s so funny her dead friends cremains got on her friends and missed getting on her, well… that could end any friendship I had with her. It was not in any way, funny, or okay. Then to laugh about it like its no big deal. It would have been a pretty damn big deal to me. Suttons flippant attitude about that pissed me off. I would be furious if she treated it like should treated as nothing burger, by me. Go roll around in YOUR dead friends ashes if you want, but do not decide for others it is no big deal to be covered in a dead persons ashes. Absolutely morbidly disgusting! Her legs should be in braces so they don’t snap like the twigs they are. They are even thinner now, than in the past. If I were her I would never wear a dress, especially a short one. Then again she secretly arranges for them all to get on stage and performance dance at this restaurant. Nope. Count me out from being forced, on the spot, to perform on stage. She may have arranged the trip, but doesn’t own everyone who came with her. AnneMarie with that big ole stirrer she carries everywhere, asking Erica what she meant when she said she was going to let go of what hurt her with the girls not standing by her in the past year, at the shoreline memorial ceremony. I was glad Erica didn’t take the bait and was wise enough to gloss over it and not get into details, where everything ends up a big fight between them all again, ruining the evening… Again. Did you not get it AnneMarie? It was a “LETTING GO” ceremony. Why bring it back up? None of your beeswax to begin with, Just enjoy the food for once and shut the heck up AnneMarie, nosy girl.

Howdy neighbor! 🤠 And no… she is not typical of this area.

I have come around to liking Crystal after not liking her too much in her first two seasons. I think she has shown a lot of personal growth since she first came on and is the type of person who is willing to look at herself and not pretend she doesn’t see where she made mistakes. Also that she actually works at bettering herself after admitting to herself she too, has personality flaws and mistakes were made by her, within this group. I said during the first 2 seasons she was aligning herself with the wrong people on this show, mistakenly thinking she was aligning with the “cool” people, when it was Garcelle and Sutton who were really the cool ones. I think she now sees this and is on the right track.

She knows she is being a total B when she is saying things like this too. She gets a weird “pinchy” voice, and speech pattern and look on her face when she is saying mean things while she is trying to pretend she isn’t being mean. She had that exact same style of speaking and pinchiness when she brought up to Maurice, Dorit and Bubba the time when Erica was rudely telling Garcelle’s son to F-off at the party.

I agree and have by choice lived single for 23 years now. I will never look back, want a date, or any part of coupledom ever again. I am never lonely and wish I had the income Sutton has, but not really. I do have everything I need and pretty much everything I want. Which isn’t a lot nor lacking either. AnneMarie being dismissive of the women who are not married is just her not reaching that point yet where she may think it would be very freeing to just live daily life the exact way she might want to. Eating crackers in bed at 3 am if she so chooses. Yeah… its the life!

I do completely agree with this. Just hoped a new leaf would be turned and some fun would be brought back instead of this type of continued bullshittery. They were finally on the right track when Jennifer and Sutton were horsing around and the cocktail hour at the bar with Garcelle, Sutton and Erica. Actual fun. Storylines. So stupid. my storyline is I’m going to go to sleep tonight, wake up tomorrow, have coffee and feed my cat. I have no desire to get in touch with a friend and start haranguing them, or badmouthing another friend to them, about any part of their lives, past or present. For self entertainment and gloating purposes. Thats my reality show. Also I wont be carrying my purse walking from room to room in my own house.

True that…. Everyone was happy it was going to be Rinnaless, tuned in, and felt relaxed enough to be able to deal with the expected Kyle bologna and boo-hooing, and all the other crap being pulled by Kyle and the others because it was nothing new. Sutton and Jennifers horse visit was normal fun… a fun (mostly) pot party at Kyles… UNTIL episode 7. Then episode 8 came along. Here the new elephant bomb they tossed into the middle of the room named AnneMarie starts again with the esophagus criticism towards Sutton in such a mind blowing, enraging way, a guest invited to her store opening party, that viewers who were able to deal with episodes 1 through 7, now are getting high blood pressure spikes and Rinna-like induced migraines from watching this new spectacle and her incredibly nasty, unwarranted and outrageous attacks on another completely INNOCENT sweetheart of a cast member. About her esophagus, for crying out loud. To Sutton, who she doesnt even know, who did absolutely nothing to her to inspire such ridiculously abhorrent public attacks on her personal PRIVATE health history. This.. while being a health care worker who knows better than to not bring up, and argue this, loudly in public settings as expected of someone touting professional status. Especially someone who deals with that whole throat, intubation area as part of her area of supposed expertise. 🤯 Then they have an episode where a suicide victim is being memorialized, with the girls poor mother attending and they have Kyles friend sing sex on the floor songs, and again the loudmouth “professional” castigating and criticizing a (loved) cast member about her esophageal stricture. At a gathering meant to honor and remember the lost friend and give empathy to her family members left behind. Instead it proved to be just a way for Kyle to advance and moon over the entertainer she provided. Making it more of a Hollywood production, and not predominantly gearing it in a way to actually soothe the broken hearted mother, but make her cringe instead. It was to promote Morgans music above all other reasons. Again the nobody brings up Suttons esophagus too. Onto Another formal dinner Dorit throws for the homeless, all nice and fancy with swimming pools…. movie stars…and again the unknown lunatic starts up and tries to make Crystal out to be a liar, causing a ruckus as a guest at this huge event, again about esophageal and now Suttons non existent eating disorder, and blames Crystal for starting this crap. Everything this season is just a bait and switch. This was the time any previously lost viewers should have tuned out and again walked away from the really bad taste of this “entertainment” ala Andy/Kyle style. Sadly, myself included, we stay to watch the for the beauty of Spain, but instead get a car wreck and so we rubber neck to see what will become of this insanity named Annemarie. We continue to watch for Sutton and now Crystal who has been dragged into this debacle of incredibly rude, out of left field attacks from this virtual stranger, and how it will be dealt with by them. We all hope they get the wooden stake and drive it through her heart. This outraged anger is not our normal or desired way of living day to day. We want to see her eliminated while wishing for a valium the size of a hockey puck to be able to relax long enough to see it happen. The mean crappy FF5 remainders were almost tolerable the first half of the season, just barely almost…. then BAM! the table guest from hell destroys the good mood AGAIN! So, to me it was a slow burn, a lure, a boiling of the frog type of set up in my opinion, and now the season is almost over.

😂🤣 Me too. I prefer a Baggallini. Fits everything I need to carry, made of nylon and I don’t have to worry about rain drops ruining it. I bought my friend a Birkinbag knock off once at a flea market that is chuck full of really nice quality knock offs for her to look professional as she did her home visit RN Nursing rounds. She never used it for that, it didn’t fit her laptop . She used it as a part of a Halloween costume where she centered her costume around that purse, dressed up as Mama from Mamas Family, as Thelma (played by Vickie Laurence). So, that was the vibe that purse I gave her, felt like to her. 😂🤣

Me too TattleTeeny. Kyle “questioning” Suttons “ulterior motive” of cutting some rose blooms for a vase from her own bushes, insinuating it is all for show for the cameras. It was a pretty scene and setting to see Sutton in, whether it was planned or not. This all while Kyle prances around with her green Birkin in every scene. Having it out set at the perfect angle on every counter or table in every scene she is in, also carrying it to the dinner table at the hotel ,, and you can’t tell me THAT isn’t an ulterior move on Kyles part to flash her precious new Birkin in every scene set up SHE is in. So very laughable her hypocritical…. Everything.

She just wants to make fun of and put down Sutton for any and everything she does or doesn’t do. All with the mental health question mark lurking in the background of her bringing up her every choice, move, thought, action, or breath. She is so obvious in her attempt to character assassinate Sutton. Questioning her own yard full of rose bloom picking? Adding some “ulterior motive” to the act? Sutton will never win with Kyle. I hope Sutton is the one (Crystal too) who can see right through KYLES ulterior motives, and “know this”. As per an Allison Dubois suggestion. There is a snake in the grass.

After watching Shark Tank and seeing how selling a food product in retail stores is almost a near impossible business to break into because of shelf space availability. I looked at the Real Coco site and see her product has shelf space in TONS of stores, though sadly none near me. Amazon also carries it and if I didn’t receive food stuffs from them with the safety seal broken on more items than normal, I would take a chance and order it from them. I once got an order of 6 cartons of macadamia milk from there and every single safety seal had been pushed through and broken. 🤔 The foil part covering the opening. Many other items also came with the safety seal broken. I think it should be looked into. Anyway here is how many stores Crystal has the highly coveted SHELF SPACE in and it’s nothing to sneeze at. https://enjoyrealcoco.com/pages/store-locator

Yeah, the way she sat there all miffed and put off by not being celebrated, cheered and champagne toasted by the other ladies for her big vindicated win was comical. Just another poor victimized Erica moment. All the news said was that the courts need more financial documented proof that the earrings were not bought with money that wasn’t salaried income by Tom, which at this point no one can prove was or wasn’t and thats what she has been holding on to as her vindication throughout all this. PROVE IT, is and always has been her motto. A typical criminals defensive reaction riding on desperate hope that inept detective work fails or well hidden criminal activity will never be brought to the light of day. An innocent person just assuredly says proof will never be found because there never was anything to be found. Because if you don’t have film footage of Tom lurking in alleys, pockets stuffed with burn victims won claim payouts, buying diamond earrings and lear jets, then you have NOTHING, is what Ericas mind and legal knowledge is all hinged on. Hopefully some deeper digging from those forensic financial experts will turn up the proof the courts want. Courts that Tom used to call his stomping grounds with his inner circle of wined and dined associates. The ole innocent until proven guilty seems to only be working for the shadiest of characters in these crazy days we live in nowadays. Otherwise the old lady feeding cats and homeless people are doing hard time because their compassion overrides stupid new laws and refuse to allow others to starve and die in front of them because they might get in legal trouble for handing them a ham sandwich.

I fully believe Kyle is behind all this bologna the newest creature dragged out at tappas dinner time. Did you see her sitting there all smug, quietly keeping out of the mix, pretending and appearing to be separate from all that was happening at that table? I think she spends all her spare time going over old footage and taking notes, gathering all her “evidence” and then invites AM over to show and give her all she has gathered up, and then siccs her on the ones she wants gone. Crystal and Sutton. That is what a typical narcissist would do. Gather and store “evidence” to be used later, and distort it to fit into their sicko perception they want to use as character assassination fuel at a later date. The rewind back in time to Crystal saying the women were shallow and uneducated must have been found by Kyle who then showed AM, who proceeds to LIE about Crystal actually saying it to her face at a party 6 years earlier. No way do I think Crystal told AM at a party 6 years ago that she thinks her fellow cast mates were shallow and uneducated. Crystal does not present as someone who talks this way to total strangers she just met at a party. I think it is all gaslighting to try and make Crystal herself believe she actually said this to AM, since she thinks Crystal would never remember what she said at a party to a stranger 6 years ago. I believe that is an outright lie about where she got this “information”. It was all handpicked by Kyle researching back episodes, to give fodder to her new flying monkey to use against the two Kyle is going after while she sits back, watches the shit show and smuggly pretends to have nothing to do with the outrageous crap spewing from this newbies loud mouth. After honing in and finding someone as stupid as AnneMarie is, to be manipulated and encouraged to be the dirty worker. Even when Kyle did speak it was always to “jokingly” put down the others. After she made them all sit waiting for her rude butt to show up for dinner while she went thru wardrobe changes and the chefs food sat and got old and wilted. The epitome of showing she just does not give one iota of care about other peoples time. Crystal was not at Annemaries mercy.. Annemarie was completely useless as a medically trained person when it came time to actually be of help with Crystals sudden sweating , nausea and hand and vein swelling. She stood there getting too close and that was it. If I were Crystal I would have told her to back the fuck away from me. I also was very nervous about Crystal leaning over by the side of the road with that cliff mere feet away. She could have passed out, stumbled and went right over that cliff. Where was AMs medical expertise in those moments? She got real quiet for the first time in her life. Maybe she was hoping Crystal went over that edge. I have traveled those thin winding roads set on the edge of cliffs in Spain and many other parts of Europe and they are hair raising, edge of your seat, nerve wracking roads to travel. What a nasty thing for Kyle to say about her friend who no one knew what was going on with this sudden illness. That now she is at the mercy of AnneMarie. She is the one who needs lessons in compassion along with Erica .. and now AnneMarie. Maybe their money can buy some of that stuff. Kyles fingerprints are ALL OVER the dinner conversation and words coming out of this new losers mouth. Anyone who would willingly do this for Kyle is a big loser. A stupid one. She was probably coached with these clips from the past sitting with Kyle going over old episodes and taking Kyles advice that using this as her weaponized dinner table conversation, would be a great way to get a “storyline” going for her newbie ass. Since shes trying to help her out and all, she is the expert on reality tv shows and how to make a name for yourself, and AM eagerly believed her, and stupidly carried through with the “plan”. Don’t mistake my kindness for weakness? Huh? What the hell context is she even talking about? Does she even know what that sentence means? It had absolutely nothing to do with anything going on at that table. It was such an off the wall, out of left field statement and downright cringeable in awkwardness in that situation. Plus telling people you are kind when completely being the opposite is just as cringeworthy as that stupid, out of place statement was to begin with. She really thinks she can fool them, and us. Kyle who took this new dupe under her wing, promised it would. I would feel sorry for her being the latest tool for Kyle, except for her willingness to be the crap person she is being to the others, for a name and a storyline for herself. God I hate the stupid word “storyline”. How about using the beautiful Spanish countryside, food and each others light hearted and fun company as a “storyline” for once. Normal regular human people would find that quite enjoyable to watch and would tune in just for that. I guarantee! AnneMarie better hope she does not live in a glass house when the other ladies are given an opportunity to get a word in edgewise. You know, the one that she and her alleged rapist husband share.

It was a trick! A lure! By Getting rid of Rinna, lost viewers returned to give Bravo another chance. That has to be why views are high this season. We thought we’d be able to watch without having to deal with complete insanity watching that crapfest, and then when it looked like the coast was basically clear, they go and plop THIS elephant in the room. What is WRONG with these people? Do they interview to search for the most obnoxious person they could possibly find to give a perfectly good open spot to? I absolutely think this is so. All they did, was reinforce their low brow tendency to impose a foul display with this Kyle and producer convoluted trash, and again, pass it off as entertainment. For you and me.

Oh Dear, Book junkie… Please accept my belated hugs and sympathy to you for your very sad and traumatic loss. You wrote this on the 18th and here it is the 24th and I am seeing it for the first time. I did not see a Bolded heading of this thread notifiying that there was a new post, maybe because of all the upgrading, and other things the forum has been experiencing lately. Just know that our heartfelt sympathy and condolences are with you and that Goofygirl and myself are not happy that you too, are a member of the club nobody wants to be a member of.

AKKKK!!! Please! No! A Million times NO! 🤯😱🤢🤮 I’m begging ya!

Oh I know… deep down I know it is not the women who take each other on these fantastic getaways and that it is at the shows expense. Knowing Sutton tho, she will bring a special gift for all the woman to be given when they arrive there. Do you think that those gift bags are also from the shows expense account? My naive heart thinks that the person chosen to claim is funding the trip, really does spring for these gifts for the others. I do wonder if Sutton, adds a little extra padding to the bottom line of the amount the network is willing to shell out, in order to get an upgrade to “ULTRA deluxe” dinner service instead of only the plain old deluxe service that is included in their travel package. I can see Suttons generosity doing something like that, since they are all there, and may never be there again. Doing it up right, while the doing is available. I do wonder about that. Last year it was Kyle and her cowboy hats for all, in Aspen. She was so furious at Dorit for not being there during hat giving time. Last years aspen trip was a cheapy for Bravo, using Kyles condo, especially for poor Kathy stuck in the bunkie, lower level extra storage room. I do wonder if any of the $$ Bravo must have paid Kyle for the condo use, went from Kyles personal pocket, for the hats she insisted everyone must receive, adore and wear. Whether they felt cowgirly or not. Yes that was a pretty obvious slur towards Crystal, since 24 is no wheres near a child brides age. Inferring that Rob bought and paid for his young asian bride like a he picked her from a mail order catalog of young hopefuls willing to marry into American citizenship. Or even worse… that Rob is a lecherous and depraved pedo minded man whom Crystal fell victim to. Dorit is really showing her true colors this season and was better off when Rinna’s presence took over all the camera time with her constant throwing herself in front of it, hogging all the scenes. Now that the others get a chance to open their own mouths and speak for once, Dorits inner workings are on display every time she gets a chance to interject. And its not pretty.

I’d agree fully with that, except for the fact that Denise was quietly sitting minding her own business, when it was Dorit who started it all up again, throwing her under the bus to take the heat of the moment off of herself. I just wish Denise didn’t take that obvious bait. She could have waved Dorito off and told her to keep her baiting to herself and mind her own business. Denise probably did not get the closure she wanted from the night where she wore her coat upside down because she was too inebriated to remember that Erica gave her an apology that night…. And thats on her.

A tiny little baby Crystal!! So cute! Amazing how you can clearly see Crystal in that adorable infants face. Such a natural beauty.

Oh boy. Another getaway on Suttons dime. I wouldn’t want to be treating the Esophaguy girl to a Barcelona vacation if I were Sutton. If I was AM I would be too embarrassed to accept such a generous gift from some unknown person I just met and came out of the starting gate and literally went for their throat right off the bat. I wonder who is going to take advantage of Suttons generosity when the dinner menus come out. Maybe Kyle again with Dom Perignon butter sautéed, gold leaf encrusted Lobster tails smothered in fresh truffles and beluga caviar, as a starting appetizer.

Vivi is absolutely adorably beautiful. Also very slim and looks like it comes easily for her to stay that way. Maybe thats why Crystal doesn’t want to be having her around in her circle of people.

Yes Kyle seems to be extra self conscious about her look/lips lately, more so than regular. I noticed she is having a bit of a quandary about what she should be doing with that mouth/lips of hers while the camera is aimed at her. She seems to be thinking should I purse my lips this way,, or that way, or this new way I have been practicing….maybe the lower lip/jaw would look best if I jutted it out just a bit further than its natural angle and I will achieve the look I want like this. Or maybe,,, while sitting at Suttons with my green ostrich skin Birken bag on perfect display I shall apply lip gloss and practice which lip pose would look best in this scene. Maybe the slightly parted open lips would look best while I sit here pretending to listen to what you are saying …etc etc. Just watching her trying to figure out how to hold her lips at any one moment is a whole nother show in itself!
