I don't like the narrative of "Denise is a hypocrite." Like ALL their surgeries across every iteration of RH, the 1st season is the plainest of the plain. the true persona, the closest to the face you were born with, etc. THEN after watching yourself, you brush up, revamp wardrobe and get the surgeries to fix perceived "flaws." For instance, Sutton's hair bugs me. It needs toning down and a good trim and blowout. I'm sure if she's back next season, she will have "fixed" it. Also she will have thicker skin possibly. That said, I believe as humans, there are no rules to life as to when you can change. You can start low and become better. There's no shame in trying to make yourself, your family and your life better. Maybe Denise didn't like what she saw of herself last season. Maybe she regretted sharing things so personal. Now she wants to make it different for her family for her own reasons. Surely if she began at the moral high ground and sunk into the sewer it would cause a little stir but they'd all relish in trying to rehabilitate her or some such version of that so they could raise themselves up. Everyone should look at themselves and not Denise. Erika doth protest too much. Let it lie, MOTHER of the year. I used to like you.

Oh! Have mercy on my soul!!! Imagine being a toddler when that porcupine haired bulge-eyed, jean tights gigolo comes at you and he's supposed to be your new step-father??!! Right-on for those of you mentioning his over-usage of the word "actually." My 4 year old recently began saying it a lot and I'm thinking "Ash" the whole time 😫

Very true. I know all the women at one point or other have fought with another...but RE: Dorinda, I feel like if I were her, I'd have stopped drinking full stop after the rude dinner with Bethenny and the relief /charity org crew. She was unhinged and that was super embarrassing on her part. She has passed her low point. All the connections she has from her lifestyle of days gone by, should be severed. Anyone in the political world should distance themselves from her for sure. She's going to have to do more than pet an "emotionally abused" goat or two to come back from this.

Here's the simple fact and what Glen should've stated: If you have free hands to hug or hold hands then both hands aren't busy. That's what it is when you're in this industry. During working hours, both hands are busy and working. Usually both feet too. Your personal time is when you're booked for it whether or not it coincides with your "boyfriend's" time off. Say what you will about their relationship but I think Ciara and Pagett navigated romantic relationship and work relationship pretty well all season.

Heh hey hey! No need to bring Darcey's ex Jesse into this!!! We've heard enough from him to last 2 lifetimes by this point!

I saw the opposite as I watched. I saw quite a few faded to vibrant & back again episodes throughout. There's SO MUCH producer interference and editing in these shows it's anyone's guess at this rate what really happens. I know one thing...Steph is no bisexual or lesbian.

Aww!!! I would give you a hug! Same situation here. I was going to post that when I've tried to hug my female birth vessel, I've gotten the same warmth (as a dead fish) that Lana gave to David. Only I'm no David!!! I watch this show with one of my daughters (the one who likes to hang with mom some late nights) and she's like "whose team are you on?" Etc. After the Erica /Steph segments and talk about hiding things from your parents, I told her flat out "you know I hope you (kids) never feel like you have to hide things from me or be scared to tell me and dad things." She said "OF COURSE WE WOULDN'T!!! We know we can tell you anything!" So all we can do is NOT be like the negatives in our family. Also, learn from and bond over 90DF lol!

I agree. Can't believe how uptight you have to be to not be able to hang with those nice friends. I'll be glad going forward not to see her babymouth talk anymore or hear "earicuh" anymore.

My exact thoughts! Now not 1 but TWO famewhores with (implied) penises have Darcey to thank for their FULL TIME in the US (and Canada??) acting gigs!!! They sure owe her hard cash for this. And she should at least earn for every time her name comes out of their mouths. They both suck. Darcey should find true love and real good therapist.

Did Dorinda say she had an abusive childhood? I could've sworn she said that during her meltdown at the lunch. Then she subsequently said she could tell that goat has been emotionally abused 🙄 I thought she has a great relationship with her mom & sister and that every year her mom makes her a birthday cake on her birthday. I don't know what she was aluding to. Maybe someone else can shed some light on her past? Either way she has no excuse to be so awful. I can tell Tinsley has respect for her elders and takes to heart what people say about her. Dorinda is exploiting that. I realized who Dorinda reminds me of- an older Blonde version of Leah Remini. The voice is SO similar. The tough attitude too (at least as portrayed by her "King of Queens" character). The juxtaposition of Dorinda's deep rasp and Tinsley's childlike voice is a perfect example of one woman vs. the other. If that makes sense.

Tinsley doesn't deserve what she's getting from Drunkinda. But I'll say this one thing- Tinsley's cartoonish babytalk voice- even when fighting and raising said voice- is SO ANNOYING and impossible to really take seriously. Her over pronounced hissing "s" sounds= horrible. Nothing against her but she isn't a good fit for this show. There aren't any feelings of genuine friendship amongst these women who are awkwardly aged for her. They're neither old enough to really be her mothers nor young enough for her in a GROUP of them to be fitting as "friendship." They should remove Tinsley and bring in Elyse since she is an actual friend off camera as well and more appropriate. I'm sure she'd drum up some drama here and there. Sonja always is portrayed as sort of gross. Between toilet repairs, wetting herself constantly, wearing diapers on the jitney (sp?)...production loves to point out Sonja is a human in every possible way. It was ok the 1st few times but now it's tired and nasty. Leah's apartment kind of reminded me of Bethenny's first apartment where she had that cringey dinner with Jason #1. I'm sure the apt is expensive enough...her flaw? It looked like someone (GASP!) LIVES THERE! Agree with previous posters if you have to defend your alcohol use then it's a problem. They've all got issues to some degree. Finally i heard LuAnn say what you've pointed out in the past "Olcohol." Lol pretty funny. Leah is also young for the group like Tinsley but somehow like Bethenny she may fit a little bc she's dysfunctiknal in a dramatic way like Beth was. Tinsley's brand of dysfunction doesn't fit really. I don't even think she's honest with the group about what she thinks of them. She's always on defense like a child.

Lol! I was about to say "Jeepers Creepers" that scary movie with the trenchncoat looking thing.

I'm starting to wish that Wiccan lady would return to put the smackdown back on Vyle. Her behavior at the BBQ Denise threw was so idiotic. The bemusement at the diamond ice sculpture brought back memories of "is that a Jewish star?" Omg! Vyle converted to Judaism & should've known what a Star of David is- I know & am not Jewish. She does this sh** where she plays dumb to make the other person feel less than. Maybe she is just that dumb. Idk. She bugs to no end and kudos to those who mentioned she has 4 kids and 3 of them are grown! I'm team Denise all the way no matter what her and Aaron do with holisitc stuff or what their marriage is like on the inside. I believe she worried more about the GUEST kids overhearing the sex talk than her own. She seemed to outline as much to Erika who STILL had to say "you knew who you were inviting" after their lunch.

I don't think Denise Richards is cowardly at all. I watch her body language and facial expressions. She is not fake and needs no one to like her and that's hard work for me, man. I once promised myself I'd "stay cool" around a certain woman who I usually babble around to fill the awkward "too cool for everyone " silence emanating from her. That bitch came runnin to me and just dug up anything to talk about. But yeah, I don't have restraint and i can be fake AF bc I have the need to relate to folks and be the "nice one." Denise was giving looks like "I see you bitch" to Kyle and I thought it was fitting. Just wait til the sh** is drudged up or in private. I hate to be mean to a pregnant lady but I can't with Teddy. CAN'T! The man hands, the horrible Jan Brady-ish walk, swaying side to side. Hulking around. I literally can't look at her. A shame bc I want to like her but she's just so extra.

FTFY lol! But I agree with your whole post. Why do these people keep making up "athleisure lines" and slapping their names on some made in (insert country of cheap manufacture here)? Oh yeah because it's EASILY/ cheaply MADE! Nothing appealing there. I visited the site just to see and it basically looks like stuff Rinna probably was offered to slap her name on but tossed it to her spawn. And 😲 when Amelia turned to Rinna at the party and said "I need a fu**in drink!" That was on camera and she's 18! Not 21. But I guess Rinna is "not like a regular mom...shes like...a cool mom." - Thanks "Mean Girls" Erika going hard at Denise several times about "mother of the year" and "June Cleaver." I respect at least she said it to her face not just in talking heads- but can't believe she is going in on her! Not nice. I think Erika doesn't like the mirror being held up on what she was like as a mother. Sometimes the thing we go after regarding others is a defense mechanism of what we dislike in ourselves.

I haven't read any comments yet but DAYUMMM Dorinda had a hardon for LuAnn her drinking buddy to be back off the wagon. It'll be her buddy and distract from Dorinda's sloppy behavior. Elyse was right!

Yes- and don't forget her daily "naps" she requires. I guess she's just passing out. I think she's a beautiful woman . Loved the hair cut & color and the sparkly white blazer jacket at the party (and all her blazers)...but she is SUCH a harsh, nasty drunkard. The attack on Tinsley- To quote Bethenny in a prior season (I believe...maybe RE Sonja) "to attack her it's like killing a butterfly with a grenade." Something like that. Tinsley may not be ALL likeable but she's sure harmless and delicate and not shrewd.

OmG SERIOUSLY!!! DUH!!! The RHBH symbol/prop is a diamond. Could *that* be the theme, Vyle?! That you're all meeting up for a BBQ or whatever and you're all BH HOWives?! She is such a try-hard mean girl dimwit. I wouldn't know who she was without this show. Denise on the other hand or even Garcelle, I'd know. Even Rinna I've always known and used to watch Days" as a child since I was intrigued that Hope was buried alive (but I digress). Vyle can go the way of LVP for all I care.

BORING!

Maybe maybe Yolanda's storyline is fake. Her children are far too level headed to have been raised by her. But then again I've seen people go off the deep end with age and circumstances so never know. David's storyline seems more realistic. He is manic and his face is drawn. I see a little of that same mania in Yolanda. Glad Rosemarie stood her ground with Ed. She is a person. Maybe she wants out of poverty but you also want a 23 year old or whatever so c'mon. I have a theory based on many observations such as Rose physically guiding Ed around like he's an elderly man or a handicapped man- he wants her as a live-in nurse he can also have sex with. In a few years, he'll need a young woman to care for him and Rose is the ticket. Caring for children instead of him would hamper that. RE: her child Prince, he would've loved that resort. Would've loved a hotel with a bathtub and a restaurant meal. Would've loved a bed. All he cares about is his mayonaised ass.

Yeah, totally! But Bethenny was covert about her act. She never truly conducted business on camera but was the expert in "dipping out" early. It was always as though she had someplace better to be (at least in her last couple seasons active). Sonja is just acting the way she thinks business women are supposed to act.

I disagree with LuAnn that Leah's mother cutting her out of her life "doesn't help." Doesn't "Intervention" always stress the point to family & friends that as difficult as it may be, they need to cut the addict out of their lives. Ultimatum has to be a part of it to break the cycle of enabling. When Leah's "baby daddy" showed up to have a chat with her about drinking, he mentioned she will need to give in to her mother's wishes because her mother is "the only help" they get with their daughter. Maybe not substance abuse but I've seen a lot of sh** behavior enabled by people who dump off their children on the grandparents so they could do whatever they want. I see this as Leah's mom not wanting to take on responsibility of her daughter while Leah goes around acting the way she did at Ramona's and call it "work " because she is "filming." Once her mom saw the episode (*if* she did) I think the pressure was back on Leah to stop drinking. Sonja & her "fashion line" & show are just sad & pathetic. She hasn't yet found her niche in life which is sad at her age & the resources via the show have provided. Dorinda's a looser cannon than ever. I get the lunch with Tinsley and how her "wavy vs straight hair" complication with her mother is laughable to some but that was mean girl behavior. But Leah has loving parents & good people in her life & has some sort of privilege in life/growing up. I'm not going to shed a tear for her. This wannabe gangster act of hers is insulting to people who have lived that life bc of poverty & negative circumstances. Real gangsters don't have the family to send them to rehabs and halfway houses or help with their kids. When you get multiple chances, buckle up & put in the work & regret your bad choices. Gangster isn't aspirational, it's unfortunate.

Was that Justin Sylvester from "E! News: daily pop" at Kyle's dinner party?! Wtf?!

Aaron and Mauricio were definitely high as kites at that dinner. Maybe some others including Denise. Sutton is a wannabe and an a**hole. Of course Dorit and Rinna wore their $1800 purses from their "giftbags" from Sutton right away. They love them some free sh**. Especially broke Dorit. Aaron may not be 100% wrong but he's way too high at the dinner to speak about things. Followed? I don't think so. But there's a reason some doctors on the verge of curing certain viruses end up "drowned." It's happened maybe 2x in the last decade. Not necessarily holistic peolle but actual doctors who developed some meds to cure viruses like herpes. Eta: Sutton trying to backpedal hard core out of that Teddi retreat after none of the ladies really want to go. LoL!

You're all so insightful as usual that all my points have been covered already! You're all my lifeline to the world at this point lol I agree Byron is low key passive aggressive with Madison and he has his radar on her. If he were single he would hook up with her so I think he's a tad fixated. I agree that it was weird of Adam to have sex with Jenna after not connecting w/ her all day after he got annoyed by her lack of enthusiasm over the flowers. He has issues but I see he got a bang in before ending the relationship so...eww.. He was rather defensive about not telling someone he loves them after a matter of 3 weeks but on BDM he told Malia he loved her after 2 weeks apparently so there's that. Very weird guy with issues. Charter guests= boring. Madison deserves a nice guy from what I see see of her but i think we've all been there a time or 2. My 1st reaction though was to think "Byron isn't coupled up and neither is Glenn. You're FINE chickie!" I get the point though that it's just not comforting when you're *in it* and kind of in that self loathing state. It will be ok Madison- be yourself.
