S10.E08: Mind Your P's and BBQ's

[jewel21]

Quote

Garcelle is honored for her work with a local charity, but her acceptance speech isn’t charitable to one guest. The ladies feel mom-shamed when Denise shows up to Kyle's kid-friendly barbecue without her kids. Lisa, Erika and Teddi are annoyed when Aaron mansplains to them – a situation Dorit knows firsthand is problematic for husbands in this group.

Airdate: 06/03/2020

Spoiler warning:  Please do not talk about future storylines that have not yet occurred on the show even if they have been discussed in the press.  (i.e. why Denise stopped filming.)

[nexxie]

The preview showed a bit of Denise’s walk out with Aaron - should be another annoying interesting episode.

Yeah but then you could say that about pretty much most scripted & unscripted TV shows that are being aired now.

Breaking News Alert: the cameras caught Lisa eating something at Garcelle's dinner event.  Not sure what it was, but she needed a fork.  Hope it didn't break her caloric limit for the week...

[Mindthinkr]

I think Teddi, especially since she was filming, should have put a bit more money into her maternity wardrobe. That sliver dress did nothing to enhance and she kept tugging at spots all night. 
Erika...do you bring your breasts out and proud to all charity events. Not the place for sexy dressing. 
Sutton looked toned down for Sutton. 
I was pleased for Garcelle that she got the award. She seemed gracious. 

[Neurochick]

I think Garcelle had it right about Denise, she just wanted to protect her kids from what the adults were saying.  They see it as Denise not being "real" because she talked to them openly about sex, but Denise was talking about children.  I think most people have different conversations with their friends than they have with their minor children.

[whydoievencare]

So, by resolution - does Rinna mean that Denise will finally admit that she's a hypocrite and the rest of the Housewives did nothing wrong and are just the best moms?  (I hate Rinna!)  For the record, I think that Denise is in the right and the rest of the women just can't admit they may have behaved inappropriately and didn't like being politely admonished to wait until the girls were gone - they've made this into something much bigger (of course) and their interpretation (now) seems to be that Denise is implying that they aren't the best mothers.  Which isn't at all what Denise was saying.

20 minutes into this episode and it’s sooooo boring. They seem to be grasping  at any little nit picky thing about each other to fight about. I think all of them ran out of storyline ideas to stay relevant. 

[DallasDiva243]

I’m only 20 minutes in and I’m already bored. Rinna- please just stop talking. If I hear “own it” one more time, I’m going to scream! There is no such thing as resolution in this group. 
teamdenise! 
Loved Garcelle standing up for Denise and really liked what Aaron said to the group!

Props to Garcelle and Aaron

[Mindthinkr]

I’m watching Aaron and Denise chatting again dinner. He really is listening to her. Engaged with her content and meaning. I’d like a man that really cares about what I have to say. The comment about pinning her wedding ring while filming in her bra was cute. He asked which side. She said right. He stated something cute about it being too far (or farther) from her heart. 

[Rhetorica]

What show was Sutton on that she was afraid if being sold as a sex slave?!?!?!?

Garcelle is under rated.  IMO, Best New HW.  Way better than over rated, Leah McSweeney.  Her confessionals are fun.  She can throw shade.  Her kids aren't obnoxious.  She has a real career outside HW.  And she is loyal to her friends, unlike Rinna, who will be the first to throw them under the bus for a storyline.

Why is Kyle wearing pajamas at her barbeque?  

[LibertarianSlut]

I thought that was a really obnoxious way to open the show—basically to tease us with what’s coming up this hour to induce us to watch.  It’s desperate, like “Coming up on Dance Moms.”

Teddi’s closet looks like shit, I’m sorry.  To have that much space and to just have t-shirts and jeans in messy piles is a shame.  

It was funny to see Lisa try to stir Garcelle up about Denise not saying something to Kyle’s face and almost realizing midstream that Garcelle isn’t a Kyle fan, and Lisa switches right over to talking about Kyle.  The more things, change, the more they stay the same.  

I thought it was obnoxious of Garcelle to throw food repeatedly at a formal event.  If it was supposed to be endearing, it missed the mark.  She is making up for her diminished presence on the season though by bringing us to a black tie dinner and showing us her children and ex-husband more than we see half the husbands on this show.  

I think Kyle and Garcelle might be somewhat similar.  That passive-aggressive dig during her speech was Kyle-esque to me.  It was immature for the audience at large.  I am predicting it now—if Garcelle comes back next season, she and Kyle will be friends.  

If Denise can’t stay for this “shit show” because she is so busy shooting another show, they should dock her pay.  They should have docked Erika’s pay last season, and Garcelle’s and Kyle’s pay for the beginning of this season, and give it to Sutton, who is working overtime.  Same with Rinna filming 24/7 and Teddi doing this at like 11 months pregnant without complaint, because this is their job. 

Oh my God, Garcelle is lecturing Kyle because there was someone in Nashville with whom she connected with better than Kyle???  This is the dumbest argument since “glam.”  She is really just like Kyle.  Reeking of desperation if she senses someone doesn’t approve of her.  And I was so glad Kyle didn’t take the bait, because there was nothing to take.  

Lol at Sutton with the package deal.  I’m really liking her.  

[whydoievencare]

Teddi must be feeling pretty confidant  to be going after Denise like she is.  Plus, it gets the heat off her. Winning!

Clearly Aaron, Denise, Garcelle and Teddi are the only people who know how to dress at a barbecue.  

Teddi is a shit stirrer.  STFU, Teddi.  I love that Aaron very quickly sticks up for Denise.  

#TeamDenise

[Straycat80]

Shut up Teddi, Denise gave you an answer about her kids not being there and Teddi keeps stirring the pot. 

[Andi27]

This is a ridiculous argument to continue to have. Beside the point that, given that Mauricio is not there because of a USC game, Kyle seems to have had this BBQ just to set up this fight.

But since the women have made it clear that they do not see any reason to speak differently around Denise's children than they would around adults, Denise can clearly decide whether she wants her children around that kind of talk. She has decided she does not.

Lisa eating?  Are you sure that happened or have you just been quarantined too long?

I think Sutton is the only one reeking of anything with her ugly couture clothes.  They should just put her under Niagara Falls the woman is so thirsty.

I thought it was a cute moment with her sons.  I didn't see it as a serious issue.

[Mr. Miner]

Shit! I dozed off, this show sucks a little bit more each week. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Rhetorica]

If I was given an all expense paid trip with one of these Housewives, I honestly don't think I would accept it. I might pick Garcelle or Sutton, because they're new....  The rest just bitch about everyone and everything. They're exhausting. 

[nexxie]

So Erika missed Garcelle’s moment cuz she had to pee? More like she was pea green with envy.

 

[psychoticstate]

Can we have Aaron host the reunions?  "Okay, great.  Let's move on and talk about something else."  Ha!  Those bitches literally didn't know which way to turn.  I may be developing a crush on Aaron because he has no fucks to give with them.  

I am just stunned that these, um, women (with the exception of Garcelle) seem to have no concept that some topics that adults discuss amongst themselves are off-limits around kids.  And even if they think it's okay and would talk about it with theirs, if Denise says it's not around hers, that's the end of it.  Or should be.  

[Neurochick]

Mom-shaming?  Really?  These women are nuts.

[Straycat80]

Well, they have a point, Denise did drop quite a few F-bombs in front of Doritos little girl and there are other children nearby as well. All these women really need to watch their mouths around kids.

I don't think Denise asked people to stop swearing, I think she wanted them to stop talking about sex acts. In other words, her kids have heard her have a fucking conversation, she just doesn't want to have a conversation about fucking. It's not that hard to figure out.

[Axie]

Why does  Dorito look like a runaway bride running after Denise?

Edited June 4, 2020 by Axie

[whydoievencare]

What exactly does Erika's talking head with the mirror have to do with anything - other than the fact that she's demonstrating what a fucking bitch she is.  Aaron didn't help with his intervention - the husbands getting involved to defend their wives never flies with these women - but really, who can blame him.

The difference is that Denise didn't even know Dorito's daughter was there.  However the women knew Denise's children were there.

I think these women don't know how to let anything go, but I do understand their point that it's kind of disingenuous for Denise to be clutching her pearls when she has gone on national television talking about her sex life in very graphic terms. I'm sorry, her kids are going to know and hear about that. And for Denise to claim otherwise is nonsense. And Denise clearly has been more upset than she has let on. But, all that said, it is gross how the rest of the cast circles around her like sharks. Like, it's not that big of a deal?

What a heinous pack of bitches. Team Denise all the way.

Also, what the heck was that outfit Dorit was wearing at Kyle’s house? Was that a bathing suit and cover up?

[The Ringo Kidd]

What’s the big deal about a few f bombs around Doritos kid. Just imagine what she heard from bill collectors showing up at her house. Or what her Mommy said when her account was seized by creditors.

Plus you invited “Denise Fucking Richards” so deal with it!

Seriously. We've been talking about this damn threesome conservation at Denise's party for five episodes now. When is going to end?

I did think Teddi had a point. If someone told me they didn't want to bring their children around me, I also would take offense to it because it would be implying that I was somehow a danger to children, although like Garcelle said, it is Denise's right to bring her kids around whomever she wants. I laughed when Lisa went to the bouncy house with the kids because was as exhausted with the threesome talk as most of the viewers are. But the talk could have been over it if Lisa hadn't once again pressed the issue the final morning the women were in Santa Barbara by bringing up Charlie's hookers.

[Emmeline]

When Denise cut the women off at the end of last weeks dinner, she simple did not want to discuss anything about her daughter at length.  How do they not understand that.  Remember when Rinna threw her wine glass and said “don’t talk about my husband”.  Certainly Denise should be allowed to close a conversation about her child.  
 

Dorit and Kyle’s clothing for the BBQ, minus the BBG, was ridiculous.

Well, Denise had admitted that she swears around her kids.  That's not the issue.  And if Dorito had a problem with it, she could have said something.  She didn't.  So that's just Teddi butting in once again to try and stay relevant.

I don't blame Denise and Aaron for leaving.  Why stay at a party that's just going to be a pile on against you?  They're criticized for not bringing their kids and then it's just pick, pick, pick.  Teddi stirs the pot, Kyle can't read a room and Erica is just a See You Next Tuesday with shitty fashion sense.  

[DivaLasVegas82]

I wonder what damaging think that Denise thought Aaron was going to say that she told him not to talk on camera. Then he told her not to grab his hand or he would crush her. There's something off about their relationship IMO. I wonder why Aaron was even at the BBQ. None of the other husbands were present.

Yep.  Saying you're done with a conversation means just that.  It doesn't mean that you're about to burst a blood vessel or suffer an embolism, Teddi.  

[DivaLasVegas82]

Garcelle and Kyle seemed to be getting along at Kyle's BBQ. I don't think Kyle dislikes Garcelle. She just may not engage with her because she hasn't spent a lot of time with her. I think if the two of them spent some time alone together, they could actually get along just fine.

That was weird. She also sounded like she was talking to a child, slowly— when she told him to get up, they were leaving. 

[RealHousewife]

Just started watching.

Garcelle's face is still exquisite, and I like that she gets Denise and isn't on the mean girls' side. I want more of her!

Oh Rinna, so what if Denise made some mild comments about Kyle after the way Kyle treated her. Saying she likes attention, at that. We've known this about her since season 1. Not exactly a secret or anything sensitive. You however said that Kim was close to death and that Kyle was an enabler when you and Kyle were on friendly terms. I cut you slack for that because you just talk a lot without thinking sometimes, but why so hard on Denise?

Edited June 4, 2020 by RealHousewife

[Adeejay]

I am glad that Aaron and Garcelle were there to stick up for Denise. Clearly, Erika and Rinna intend to make her this season's piñata.  I can't help but believe those two are jealous of her looks and career.  Just because it can't be said enough, "shut up Teddi."  That woman brings absolutely nothing to this show.  

[goofygirl]

Oh. My. Gawd.  This is boring as hell, people!  I can't believe they are STILL going on and on ad nauseum about this stoopid shit.

What seemed interesting to me was that Mauricio wasn't there.  WTF????? And speaking of children, WHERE WAS PORTIA???

And yeah, I think they're all a little jelly about Denise getting the big bucks starting out on this shitshow.

That's fine. I don't fully agree with Denise, but she has a right to feel how she feels. She was done with the threesome talk, but Lisa brought it up once again when they were in Santa Barbara. These women just don't know how to let things go. But I do get why Teddi and Kyle took offense to Denise's comment about not wanting her kids around these group.
