Loved this ep! What fun they are without Brandi and Kim. One thing about the grand baby lunch, I think Lisa V is setting up a storyline for next season. Anyone notice how Pandi came in with a large purse, held conspicuously over her middle the whole time she was standing? Then at the table, she had a large napkin over her whole belly, not just flat I her lap. Lisa knows how to work this program to showcase just what she wants, Lisa the over donating grandmother.

How much does she spend on bad extensions, overdone fillers, etc.? She's not struggling to make ends meet, she's struggling to keep herself pampered. I have no sympathy for her single mom bullshit.

It bothers me that she keeps being referred to as a "mother." Obviously, she is one but that's not really her job anymore. She isnt, currently, raising kids. They are grown adults with their own homes, families, and lives. Yes this will be awful for them but it's not like her time in the drunk tank kept her from packing lunches and getting the kids to soccer practice. I feel like it's used to garner sympathy for her. A more appropriate indentifier would be "50 year old dried up former child star, dangerous dog owning, current reality show participant."

So being an asshole on TV is the only job Brandi is qualified for? Never mind, I think I answered my own question.

I believe Brandi's trying to cover her ass. If Kim's gone next season (God lets hope so) who is left that will film with Brandi?? After her atrocious behavior no one will. I think she's trying to gloss over the animosity so she can come back. What she doesn't get is, just because she says she's still buddies with the other HWs doesn't mean they are ok with her. More of her delusion.

You would think Brandi would shut up about the "older women" since her husband left her for someone 10 years younger than her. Leanne is going to be referring to her as a menopausal momma in a couple of years.

Ok, I've had a couple of glasses of wine so I'm a little sentimental, but I just wanted to thank all of you posters for the distraction. For the last couple of weeks I have been sitting in the hospital with my husband while he undergoes chemo. I'm usually an avid reader, but just can't seem to concentrate on anything deep right now. Reading all of your snark on these silly women has been a life savor.

I was looking at Kim's IMDB page & it still lists that Hawaii guy as her boyfriend. It also says he is "instrumental " in her comeback career. What comeback career?

Brandi likes to compare herself to Chelsea Handler (in fact she was trying to push her own late night talk show a while back). The difference is Chelsea can be bawdy but is usually pretty damn funny and whoever she is talking to is in the joke. Brandi just comes off as rude and offensive. Brandi doesn't see the disparity at all. She was so pissed when Chelsea slammed the HW shows. She acted in typical Brandi fashion & announced that she had made out with Chelsea's brother. So classy.

If Lisar had a dramatic physical outburst at the reunion, wouldn't there be a least a hint of it in the previews? It doesn't seem like Bravo likes to keep these sorts of things a surprise. The slap, the glass breaking, etc, we're all in previews. I could be wrong, but why didn't they tease even a glimpse of it?

Do you think the photo was taken at the beginning? They all look so happy. I am so looking forward to this. By all accounts Brandi & Kim get their asses handed to them. I want to believe there is another photo somewhere of afterwards with Brandi & Kim looking defeated & disheveled.

I tend to think Kyle is telling the truth here. Kim's own words cause her to lose all credibility. (Paraphrasing) "You stole MY GD house!" It wasn't your house, it was left to all three sisters. "You didn't tell me till it was in escrow" You daughter was one of the listing agents "You used the money from my house to buy this house" Is she blind? The new house is $2.5 million. Also, if Kyle has been helping Kim financially for many years, why would she screw Kim out of a few thousand dollars only to give it back to her later in support? Wouldn't it make more sense to give Kim all that she is due?

So I have a theory that is pure speculation but kind of makes sense to where we are now with Lisar and Kim. I think, at the Amster Damn dinner, Kim said something truly horrid about HH (hence the shocked reactions). She probably took a page out of Brandi's book, i.e. make up some lie and people will start wondering if it's true. (It seems to work based on the speculation on these board). Lisar lost her shit & told production she was never, ever filming with Kim. Production realized it can't blow this whole trip just as its getting started & stepped in with a deal. They offer to have Kim come apologize in exchange for editing out the horrid comment. Then Lisar can then play nice till the trip is over. I think that is why Lisar was so flummoxed in explaining to Eileen why she would go shopping with Kim. She can't talk about the deal on camera so she blunders through a non explanation. Of course Kim never really apologized but I think Lisar was just happy to get the slur removed. She was acting her ass off at that boat dinner, telling Kim she "loved" her & such. My bet is we never see those two in the same room together after they land back in the states.
