Grace has been spectacularly stupid at times over the years.

Never felt that Morgane Polanski suited the role of Princess Gisla at all. Is it just me, or is she just not a very good actress?

My god, Bethenny thinks everything that comes out of her mouth is pure gold. She's exhausting, not entertaining. It's gonna be a long season.

I totally cannot stand LisaR. It takes her all bloody season to go from saying she "engaged in a conversation" about Munchausen to coming up with the "fact" that LisaV masterminded it all. I don't agree that she was manipulated, I just think it's something she slowly came up with to shift the blame. She has to spill her guts every fucking time she's on the screen - and then in her TH - she pretends to be sorry that her mouth gets her in trouble, and yet it's just wash, rinse, repeat. She doesn't recognize that her "invaluable" friend Eileen is actively manipulating her to her side against LisaV. Who really knows what LisaV said to LisaR regarding Kyle - I thought it could have been just what LisaV claimed - "I was worried you were going to bring Kyle into it" but I can see the others choosing to misunderstand the gist of that. I also cannot stand Eileen - why is it her job to make sure that there's resolution for every disagreement (or at least a resolution that she approves of)? Also hate how Erika tried to make it seem that Kathryn was stupid for trying to be fair regarding LisaV. I'm sure that Andy loves it when there is such a huge division amongst the housewives. Kind of not looking to the reunion episodes - it's gonna be ugly.

When I see James, I am reminded of Amy Winehouse's Blake. Such a creepy guy.

OMG, this is supposed to be the second part of the Dubai trip but SLICE is showing last week's show - AGAIN! ARRRRGH!!

Shoppergal -"Yeah I noticed it, locking closets have been the storyline on two other housewives shows...DC and OC. I think in both cases it was to prevent borrowing by kids. I would imagine it's also where she keeps her jewelry?? It didn't seem odd to me, but I did notice it." Yes, I remember when Mary in DC had a lock on her closet door to prevent her daughter(s) borrowing stuff. Kenya lives alone though, but I never thought about the jewelry aspect of it.

Did anyone notice - when Kenya was getting the puppies out of her closet - and then closed the door behind her - it was a locking door with the keys hanging from the lock? I'm curious why anyone would lock the door to their closet?

MatildaMoody: "Even when Ericka made the big deal about ordering the cake, we never actually saw her eat it." Well, almost. Erika would have us believe she's such a regular gal - she likes to eat, she ordered the dessert and then she took one.single.bite.

Oh c'mon, who are we kidding? We don't train our pets (much as we try). Through their patience and persistence, our pets train us!!

Shhhhh - don't tell anyone that Eileen and Vince had an affair. Apparently it's a secret. The running theme with Yolanda seems to be how you must prove your friendship to her (again and again) - remember how pissed off she was in an earlier season when LisaV couldn't make it to her painting party - the Housewives were supposed to paint something for Gigi to take with her when she moved out. LisaV was, I think, pretty involved with the the setting up of a new restaurant/bar - therefore probably incredibly busy! Yolanda was also incredibly upset that Lisa hardly (never?) visited her when she was first ill with Lyme - however in light of what Lisa was saying tonight about not being close to Yolanda - Mohamed yes, but not Yolanda - in does kind of explain LisaV's bedside absence - if there's no real closeness, you are not going to dance attendance on anyone .

I don't like Erika one bit - talk about a master manipulator! She's almost too self-aware for this show - never drops her guard - but I almost admire how controlled she is at all times. Very disappointed in Eileen - complaining to Yolanda and Erika about the "situation" with LisaV - while carefully not talking about what the topic was - her affair with Vince - perhaps she's learned something (a little late though).

Reo said: "I think she also believes most of what she says when she says it". According to George Costanza from Seinfeld - "it's not a lie if you believe it".

This is the first time that I've found LVP's "I'm never in the wrong so I'll never apologize" behaviour to be so very blatant. It's a real skill - the puzzled expression, the head tilt, getting the injured party to backpedal - just wow! I found the TH of Kyle where she says that Eileen will be apologizing in a minute to be pretty funny - and totally accurate. I'm also totally over LVP making everything kind of sexual - it's like she's stuck at a certain earlier stage of her life (like the 1970s?) where that way of speaking might have been fun. Everything isn't sexy - certainly not Giggy nor the swan. Stop it! Stop it right now!

Erika isn't Yolanda's advocate - that person is another very blonde woman. Erika is a friend who was there supporting Yolanda during a treatment. It's confusing isn't it?

I have always wondered about Julie's children. She and Luke were married in 2004, the two youngest children born in 2004 and 2006 but wasn't sure if the two eldest children were hers or theirs. http://www.thepeerage.com/p14295.htm Anyone know anything more?

I don't imagine Julie would have had to spend her whole vacation attending to Annabelle - but to not acknowledge that Annabelle was having some difficulty as well as talking about her behind her back (or not as the case may be) was unkind. I don't see it as Annabelle wanting Julie to be her Luke. I grant that Julie has been a good friend to Annabelle in the past, but Annabelle was also a good friend to Julie. Julie's histrionics at Caroline F's lunch seemed inappropriate but then she's such a Highly Sensitive Person - but apparently she's the only one allowed to be sensitive (you can tell I'm not a Julie fan at all).

My take on the issue between Annabelle and Julie is that Julie wasn't at all supportive to Annabelle while they were in Denmark. Julie wasn't "frantically busy" with her four children, her husband who is away, Mapperton, her yoga business - while they were visiting Denmark. She was irritated with Annabelle right from the start of the trip when Annabelle was late-ish arriving at the airport. She basically ignored her the whole time - and really, is this the type of support one would expect from a good friend?
