Looking forward to this one.🍷🍫

[Rhetorica]

I think I'll sit this one out. I get nervous watching gang ups. But I'll read your witty comments!

[suomi]

Are You Ready To Rumble? I hate waiting until 10pm to see the show in my time zone, I already wait a week between episodes.

I tell myself to watch before reading here but no one listens to me.

I hope this is a good one or I’m going back to Married at First Sight. Cool hotel they are staying at. 

[eleanorofaquitaine]

Well, at least Rinna rightly mentioned that Brandi has the propensity to lie.

They all have the ability to lie and liberal use of the "truth".  As seen thru their own eyes. Spit it out first , verify later.

How many days is this Rome trip?  Did Dorit bring a suitcase for each day?!

[janiema]

At first I thought Dorit’s shirt said “charnel”.

[eleanorofaquitaine]

The glam squad thing is just so ridiculous. The rest of us learned how to dress ourselves by the time we were 8.

[Straycat80]

Dorito looks like she has maggots framing her face. Rinna is too old to be wearing Frankenstein boots. 

[eleanorofaquitaine]

Lord knows I am not a "fashion girl," but Dorit always strikes me as someone who is trying to cosplay high fashion, rather than someone who actually is intuitively stylish. 

ETA: Dorit is irritating. "Gin and Tonic" is so Italian, Dorit? Come the hell on.

Maybe they’ll be thrown from the Tarpeian Rock while they are in Rome. I nominate Kyle, Teddi, Rinna and Erika.

 

[Mindthinkr]

Oh gosh. Dorit is going to be flaunting her Italian...of course accents rub off on her fast so she’ll be speaking English at home with an Italian accent next.

I think Brandi is a dramatic person and does dramatize things. I know her big mouth has gotten her into legal trouble, but didn't she lie about Adrienne filing a lawsuit against her? I believe she hid assets when she was sued by Joanna Krupa. In season two she graciously said no to an invite from Kyle but then accidentally texted her that she's a c word. Since Kyle now says Brandi is a straightforward person who doesn't lie, does then mean it's true that she's a c**t with a cheater husband and a crystal meth addict sister? Brandi was a loose cannon when Kyle was on the receiving end of her wrath, but now Brandi is a truth cannon because that narrative suits her agenda.

[esco1822]

Dorit is probably the most pretentious housewife in history. I love how she conveniently leaves out pertinent details when telling Kyle what she’s wearing. No doubt she’s downplaying her look so all eyes are on her. All eyes were on her but I can’t say for good reason. She looks like Karl Lagerfeld got Benjamin Buttoned. 
 

BTW, is Teddi capable of any other face than stank??? She’s got that down.

[eleanorofaquitaine]

The "Harry Hamlin" thing was funny, so good on Kyle for that one. 

[JD5166]

I fucking hate Teddi.

You know it's true. 😂

[Kiki777]

Ew does Dorit not realize that pearls on the face looks like a bad porno?

[Mr. Miner]

Who’s the fucking clown wearing Chanel? Such a poser! 🖕🏻

[LibertarianSlut]

I’m already tired of Dorit speaking Italian.  I have been liking her this season, but her glam is utterly ridiculous.  She made Erika look tame by comparison.  Actually, Erika looked great on the first night.  The second day she looked like a combination of a condom, the Michelin Man, and the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.  Is one of Erika’s enemies paying Mikey to do this to her?

I think Rome is a fine place, but it’s not that far off the beaten path.  I’ve even been there, and I’ve never been to Canada.  Some of them were acting like rubes.  There’s something disingenuous about Dorit freaking out about it and Kyle saying, “I can’t believe we’re in Rome,” when Kyle goes to Europe all the time, she’s been to Dubai, and they’ve both been to Hong Kong.  And that’s just based on what we’ve seen firsthand.  

Why are they giving us so much Kyle, like it’s Kyle Goes To Rome?  Isn’t this Lisa’s trip?  

When I realized that Erika was sincere in her belief that she had been a Spanish boy in a past life, my only question was whether she had also saved a nation like Shannon Beador.  

[eleanorofaquitaine]

I know that people legitimately love visiting Italy for the shopping but it drives me crazy how much all of the history is ignored for the shopping. 

ETA: Kyle's imitation of Dorit - she's two for two tonight.

Erika looks like she is wearing a cervical collar in that white shopping outfit.

[Wicked]

All I can think is, I want to travel, when will I be able to feel safe on a plane again

 

[nexxie]

HA! Kyle does a great Dorit.

Same. I really wanted to travel this year. I'll live vicariously through the ladies for now.

Me too, Its nice to see the Rome scenes and the shopping. It’s nice for a change, even if it is only for a short time, to see them site seeing, shopping, talking and having fun. 

[Lady Lucy]

What the hell is a "creative director" and why do you bring him to Rome?? 

[eleanorofaquitaine]

Dorit legitimately looks clownish to me. Like she is the one who should have hosted the Big Apple Circus last year, not RHONY's Tinsley. 

[RealHousewife]

She's not my fave, but I wonder what Camille would have worn if she were on the trip. She nailed looking stylish and sexy without looking like she tried too hard.

[Wicked]

Dorit, your tits are fucked up

[KenyaJ]

Teddi's chronic misuse of "myself" is more than I can take. "So you didn't tell her mean things about myself?" Make it stop!

[eleanorofaquitaine]

So I am of two minds here - it feels like Denise is acting a bit here. But also, I think Brandi is a liar, so I still don't trust her.  (However, it is interesting that the producers showed that scene from Bravo Con, which definitely calls Denise's version into question. For whatever reason, I feel like the producers really dislike Denise). 

[Mr. Miner]

Thank God they left Kim at home.

[VedaPierce]

Teddi. Can we just get this miserable cow off this show? 

[Straycat80]

I’m on the fence here. I think Brandi is a liar who lies to stay relevant. But now I’m wondering if Denise is lying because of that scene where she said her and Brandi stay in touch.

It actually makes me sick to watch them there because these assholes don’t deserve or belong there. 

[RealHousewife]

Honestly, what I found fucked up was Brandi commenting on Dorit's body like that. She hardly knew her. Why so mean and crude? 

[whydoievencare]

 I think Denise's reply at Bravo Con was just generic - doesn't really mean anything.  With this group - they behave as if an accusation is the absolute same thing as being proven guilty.  Could Teddi have cross-examined Denise any longer than she did?  Clearly with the premise that she believed Denise HAD said that stuff.  Just like with Vanderpump last season.  I'm so sick of these bitches.  Also.,WTF was Teddi wearing - she has the worst taste.

Why is Brandi now the equivalent of Mother Teresa to these women?  Yes, ladies, skanky Brandi of the dangling tampon is certainly capable of lying.

Let her go have her crotch goblin off camera and into obscurity!

Omg. I’m slow I guess, but it just occurred to me that Denise always says “Bravo Bravo Bravo” to get them to stop filming! Wow!

Okay, Sutton, way to also spread the rumor about Denise and Brandi but also somehow act as if she's superior to Teddi?

[VedaPierce]

Erika, “you don’t have to explain yourself “, after dragging her through the mud with accusations on camera. This bitch. 

[Legalbeagle421]

This "rumor" should not have seen the light of day. There was no reason for the Brandi/Denise thing to be discussed, true or not. However, I do believe Denise is lying. Brandi is not a beacon of truth and honesty, but Denise's whole reaction was off.

I always overpack...... but I'm not wealthy or anything... so yeah LOL I kind of love this 😄

I love her sunglasses.

Someone here mentioned how Denise always shows up in a messy bun like "Whatever" and always looks beautiful anyway and I can really see that on this trip.

OMG, I am loving Garcelle's style on this trip.

She totally is superior. She knew the rumors and didn’t say a word until it was already said on camera twice. I also appreciated her standing up for what the women were most upset about, what was said about them or Denise. 

[eleanorofaquitaine]

Okay, I think I understand why production seems to have it out for Denise. It really does seem like she's treating this "reality tv" show like a character, where she can get multiple takes, etc. I am glad that they have finally broke the fourth wall on this, though, because it was otherwise pretty incoherent. The others don't really care about threesome-gate; what they care about is the fact that Denise has been trying to control the narrative around her by interrupting filming.

Denise comes off as inauthentic to me, but why in the hell would she hook up with Brandi? And it's Brandi telling that tale, who I wouldn't trust as far as I could throw. So it's hard for me to believe it is true, but at least I have an easier time understand why the rest of them are frustrated with Denise.

Except she herself just said it on camera. So what, just because it's in the confessional, it's somehow "better"? In fact, Sutton repeating ON CAMERA that she heard this rumor, too, undermines Denise even more than Teddi saying that Brandi is spreading this rumor. So I'm afraid I don't understand how Sutton is "better" - IMO, she's just more devious, trying to get credit for not spreading it while in fact confirming it on camera.
