This is so perfectly stated. Thank you!

This is very confusing to me, since Crystal did share this scenario on the show several weeks ago. I don't know if it was on a deleted scenes episode or the regular one, but she specifically mentioned that she told Rinna to go ahead and take Kathy home, since the coat check was taking forever. So, why is Rinna accusing her of omitting information?

This stood out for me when she was discussing how she is the primary breadwinner. However, once Charisse described how. much money went to the lawyers in her divorce, a pre-nup doesn't sound like such a bad idea!

So, what's up with Culver? Is he homesick? It wasn't really explained and I'm confused. I wonder if Production told him they need more drama now that Ryan and Magda went home. Nate needs to get it together. He is a nervous wreck. I wouldn't want Captain Jason to hang around the kitchen all the time while I am trying to find my bearings- wouldn't help with the anxiety, but he is now freaking out over a preference sheet. Most competent chefs would either complain a bit and get to work or take it as a challenge. (Ryan would have criticized the guests and had a nap. 😉)

If it weren't for Nat, nothing on the interior would get done at all. She is constantly cleaning, doing laundry, working on tablescapes and when she actually gets to go on an excursion, the other two can't be bothered to clean one room! If roles were reversed, Nat would have made sure the room was cleaned up and if not, I'm sure Tash would have been upset with her. I think Nat is getting frustrated over the lack of work ethic on the part of the other two, as well as Tash's poor managerial skills. They need to have a meeting where she calmly states her grievances (where do we put all the extra provisions-- or maybe someone else is responsible for finding cubby holes for an enormous supply of beverages.)

I laughed so hard at the closed captioning here: https://imgur.com/a/kkRGgtz sorry, I tried to upload the photo, but the file was too large and I don’t know how to change the size.

She was throwing shade right and left, which is a lot more honest than her usual "keep sweet" comments and then manipulating everything behind the scenes. I was extremely agitated when she kept commenting about how this family moment is so great, and is worth fighting for. SHE is the only one with a functioning marriage and her kids are the only ones with a present father figure, so SHE doesn't get to say how great things are right now.

I literally said this aloud when he was complaining about not being respected. And, he has not respected at least 3 of his wives and has not earned the respect of his neglected children. I love what you said about how he is ignoring the common denominator. Bravo!

Maybe we need a drinking game for the reunion. I'll start us off with a couple of ideas: * Drink every time Rinna says "Own it." * Take a shot every time Erika snarls. * Sip your drink every time Diana licks her lips (small sip, don't want anyone to pass out and miss the rest of the show!) * Drink some water each time Kyle cries (we need to stay hydrated)

I'm sure Rinna and others will use the excuse that they are just playing a part for drama and ratings (and to keep their diamonds), but their actions have real world consequences. There may be some producer shenanigans and scripted events, but this is largely a reality show where people are affected by what others do and say. One example is Erika's verbal abuse of Garcelle's son Jax and then the online vitriol he went through. Rinna and gang continue to bring others down, letting the chips fall where they may and, in my opinion, it doesn't feel like entertainment anymore.

Which means the FF5, Kyle included, were once again successful in targeting someone and bringing them down. They tried a bit with Garcelle last year (she's a bully???) and with Sutton this season. Thank goodness those two had each others' back (though Garcelle got heat for being Sutton's "bodyguard"- something Rinna doesn't get accused of with all her Erika defenses). I'm really tired of the repeated ganging up on fan favorites by mean girls who derive pleasure from others' pain.

This is exactly right! And, last week Erika even said herself that if Kathy apologizes sincerely they can all move on. Really??? This is advice Erika should have taken herself- she would have done herself a world of good by producing any amount of compassion for Tom's victims. Also, Erika needs to get a new "publicist" (there are lots of online rumors about this guy). He has done her no favors if he has been handling her press/social media this past year. His specialty is supposedly cleaning up public images after scandals, etc, yet Erika's trajectory is the the bottom of the ocean. She couldn't have handled herself worse if she tried. That's okay with me, though, because we get to see her for the vile creature she is.

Yes, but this is coming from Meredith, who I believe is not exactly a whiz in the kitchen. She forgot to put the top on her blender when trying to make a smoothie!

This was my assumption-- Paul was just craving a taco!! 😂

I enjoyed this episode, though I would have rather seen only 1 baker leave the tent this week. I wish James would have stayed to bake again. I have a different view of the pronunciations (and yes, I am a Spanish speaker). I don't think it is reasonable to think that people should be able to pronounce names of food/dishes perfectly in other languages. Spanish has a very standard pronunciation for the letters, but even still, one has to know what part of the word to accent. Other languages are much more difficult, such as Vietnamese, for example (it's tonal, so inflection is important.) I know I would make a lot of mistakes trying to pronounce a Vietnamese menu. As long as I was respectful in my attempts, it really should not matter. The bottom line is that some people are familiar with different languages, but very few would be able to tackle a wide variety of languages and do it correctly.

Well, Bunkies, I need to tidy up my garage apartment, dust off the stack of a/c's. I'll catch you all next week for the finale!

Yay, we get Mama Daonte next week!

"Under inebriated circumstances, I made a mistake." 😂😂😂😂

Bobbi is escaping from the Chance hell. Good for her!

She definitely needs to get some information and change her lifestyle, no matter what. Liver enzymes can be high without long term issues, if dealt with.

At least she's not actively vaping while pregnant like some of these idiots.

When Little Caesar's ads look appetizing, I know I'm hungry! 😂

Well, at least we can be relieved Branwin is not pregnant. Of course, sex is necessary for that to happen.

But, he still acts like it. Brain damage by knitting needle.

Your cat has good taste!
