Same, I do believe Kyle has close friends off the show, but my criticisms of her stand. I do think one can be a jealous, competitive person and still have a lot of friends. I also think a lot of kind people have less friends if they’re shy, introverted, deal with anxiety, new in town, etc. My sister is kind of like a Kyle, but she’s way nicer than Kyle. She is a social butterfly with loads of friends (more than I have), but she definitely gets insecure. I am always welcoming to her friends, but even though she is always nice when she sees my friends, she doesn’t like me including them in plans if my friends are attractive. It’s very childish and also frustrating when I want to hang out with both my sister and our non-mutual friends. At first glance my sister probably appears as nicer and easier to get along with due to number of friends and friend groups she has, but I’m actually the nicer, more laidback one who isn’t competitive. It doesn’t bother me if a friend of mine gets attention or has something I don’t have.

You’re right! That makes sense.

Was Alexis kind threatening to sue Shannon? Is her being the partner of two men who sued Shannon pure coincidence? Was it kind when she said Shannon's old enough to be her mom when she's not and actually younger than JJ? How about throwing her sex life with John in Shannon's face? And last but not least, what about threatening to show footage of the worst night and mistake of Shannon's life?

I always wondered if there was more to Lisa's disdain of Kristen than what was on the show. I know Kristen had her flaws, but Lisa gave the guys so much more grace. Maybe it was as simple as Lisa being misogynistic, IDK. James displayed horrible behavior so many times and never got more than a slap on the wrist. He also can't pull the "I'm just a kid" card anymore, not that it ever fully flied with me. You don't need to be 35 to know not to be an abusive bully. James was kind of infantilized because he was the youngest out of a group of ADULTS, physically tiny, immature, and had a difficult family. He's well into his 30s now. What's his excuse? Didn't he constantly call Jax "an old man" when he was around the same age?

Agree, confusing. It would make sense for Kyle to be more comfortable with women because she was closer to her mom than her dad, had only sisters, had only daughters, nieces she's very close to etc. It does seem like she is capable of close female friendships, but then it shows that she was raised to be competitive with the way she treats other women on the show. Kyle is a beautiful woman with a blessed life. But if there is a sexy blonde, a more famous Housewife, a cast member a bigger hit with the fans, she gets insecure and mean. It's like another woman cannot have ONE thing that she doesn't have. Even though she has a beautiful body, she gets insecure around women like Camille and Brandi. Even though she has plenty of money and has starred on a popular show for many years, she isn't happy if fans take to Vanderpump more or Denise Richards is a star outside of Bravo. She never seemed to genuinely like Dorit imo even when the story was they were close, and I don't buy that she would want anything to do with Erika outside of filming. The more popular Sutton gets with the fans, the less Kyle likes her. Kyle isn't happy unless she's the most popular, pretty thing in the room.

IDK, but for some reason Sutton has always been treated like she doesn’t belong at the cool kid’s table. I think that’s part of why she would get paranoid about not being welcome or included in jokes and whatnot.

She seemed very hormonal season of the ugly leather pants.

I understand. I think Shannon definitely needs help, but I was still impressed by her strength this season. I don’t know if I would have been able to handle everything John and Alexis did and have to react on camera. It sounds like torture.

I remember Sutton offering to help Erika, and IRC, she was the only one of the women who did. I really think she is a kindhearted, generous person.

I'm with Mary in that I really could do without vomit talk during a meal, and no matter what's unfolding around me, I always want dessert. 😂

Sutton is pretty quirky and fun too imo. I’d also describe Garcelle as fun, not so much quirky.

I thought that was a sweet moment. Their friendship seems so much more genuine than the others.

I can see that. I read Kathy Hilton collects Madame Alexander dolls. Those are so beautiful to me. I could see collecting them if I had loads of money and space. I barely have space for my old childhood dolls.
