S10.E19: Reunion (Part 3)

[jewel21]

Quote

Denise finally tells the women the truth about her friendship with Brandi; a defensive Garcelle is questioned for not supporting Erika's Broadway debut; Erika and the others voice their crushing concerns about Denise's marriage.

Airdate: 09/16/2020

[nexxie]

Garcelle did support Erika’s Broadway debut when she called out Rinna for constantly saying “I did it eighteen years ago,” hogging Erika’s spotlight.

Why does Erika and the other bitches have crushing concerns about Denise’s marriage? None of their business! 

[nexxie]

Yes, read Rinna’s texts!

[Stats Queen]

Rinna doesn’t want Denise to read the texts between them because they are private. What a crock of...

 

[Axie]

Rinna realizes she can’t get an Emmy for her reunion performance, right?

[nexxie]

Ugh, Erika kissed up to Rinna about the Broadway thing.

And she said this after waving around texts that she had printed out. She’s such a POS. 

[eleanorofaquitaine]

Rinna's reasons for caring about Denise and Brandi are lame. But so are Garcelle's excuses for not showing up to see Erika in Chicago.

In that case, I think Denise was actually being the most honest - she didn't show up because she knew she wasn't really welcome.

Yes, she sure wasn’t pleased with Rinna making her Chicago gig about Rinna based upon her actions during the season, but now, Rinna is awesome.

Do these women even know what it is like to be a real human being vs. some version of something for the camera?

Rinna's texts with Denise are "private", but Denise's texts with Brandi are NOT?  And, Rinna has copies of them - where did she get those - from skanky Brandi??? ....give me a fucking break!!  God, I HATE Lisa Rinna!!!!

Rinna:  "It isn't about me."

?????????/ WELL DENISE IS MAKING IT ABOUT YOU, YOU PIECE OF SHIT

These are bad people.

[Emmeline]

Garcelle and Sutton should stay.  The rest of the cast has me bored to death.  I especially can’t stand Rinna.  She just disgusts me.  Christie Brinkley has played Roxie on Broadway numerous times.  She’s not a singer dancer or actress, so what is the big deal.  For years all Rinna (and Harry for that matter) did was the occasional Lifetime movie.

Erica’s own husband didn’t see her show.  How can she be angry with anyone else for not going.

Edited September 17, 2020 by Emmeline

[sheshark]

The jealousy of Denise’s salary is so clear to see on Rinna, Vyle, Erika and Teddi.  Denise is not married to nor the daughter of a millionaire.  Tired of the pile on.  Rinna has to go.  Her lips actually make me ill.

[eleanorofaquitaine]

Of all the things I can't criticize Erika and Teddi for, it is thinking that Aaron is a gigantic asshole.

[Choco9]

Literally if you come out of this three part reunion not FIRMLY team Denise and Garcelle, I will never understand you.  

[RealHousewife]

Rinna said the exact same crap about LVP last year, that she should have gone to them and said she needed help. Yes, Rinna, because we all want to run into the arms of some hateful bitches who attack us nonstop when we are scared or in pain and need help. Garcelle said it best, bullshit. 

Kyle, you are also full of shit. You don't give a rat's ass about anyone other than yourself and Teddi. 

I'm really disappointed in Andy Cohen. I understand he's got a job to do and these women sign up to deal with SOME crap, but Denise does not deserve this. How do these people sleep at night?

Teddi, shut the hell up with your superiority and faux girl power. It's not sexy when YOU put women down, asshole! Why on earth would Denise want to fly to Erika's show when you are all so mean to her with cameras rolling? How horrible would you be to her when cameras aren't rolling? And also leave Garcelle alone.

Okay so this entire 3 part reunion is ganging up on Denise not only by the coven but also by Andy. It's 9:30 and no questons for Kyle, Rinna, Erica or Teddi, nothing?? Just fawning over them. You can tell he is pissed by whatever Denise's attorney sent to Bravo. Andy won't let it go any more than the gang of 4. Why is Denise putting herself through this? Sickening

Because Andy is alway a shallow, mean girl.

[Straycat80]

It’s sad that Denise and Rinna were friends for 25-30 years and thanks to this shitshow and Rinna wanting to be a fame ho their friendship is now over. 

[Jel]

I noticed teddi chimed in with her accusations about not supporting women. Funny how unevenly she applies that. She’s such a pathetic second in command. I don’t understand this dynamic. The HBIC role I can sort of understand, don’t like it, but I can see that she is getting something out of it. The side kick I just don’t get. It’s almost worse. 

[Axie]

Here’s the thing, the Reunion is going in another direction and Andy turns it around to “let’s beat the dead horse- Rinna and Denise- a little more.”  He’s such a prick.

[FlyingEgret]

Denise and Garcelle should have said they were waiting to go see Erika on Broadway in her final show - just like Tom.  Seriously, how does he get a pass but those two are horrible people...

[Ms Blue Jay]

The only way it would make sense for Rinna to be THIS INVESTED in Brandi and Denise and Denise covering up anything about it was if she was Denise's WIFE.  Any other reason is BAT.SHIT.INSANE. BATSHIT FUCKING INSANE.  You're not Denise's mom, lover, girlfriend, wife, she owes you shit about her sex life SHUT THE FUCK UP.

Rinna:  I hate Brandi but I've been nice to her lately.

OH SO NOW YOU UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF BEING POLITE TO BRANDI?  WHAT ABOUT WHEN DENISE WAS POLITE TO HER?  YOU DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THAT

Rinna:  I hate Brandi but I've been nice to her lately because she had this tea to spill on you.

OH MY GOD......... YOU .......... CRAZY ASSHOLE

Edited September 17, 2020 by Ms Blue Jay

[LibertarianSlut]

What does Teddi’s father being famous have to do with Teddi repeating what Brandi said about sex?  Is Denise implying that there is something nefarious and sexual going on with John Cougar Mellencamp?  Should we not talk about the father?

Hahaha at Andy even having to call Denise on the intra-sentence contradictions she was giving.  I can’t imagine how frustrating it would be to have this woman as a co-star.  Words don’t mean anything to her.  She just talks and takes no responsibility for what she says.  Talking to her is like banging your head against the wall.  As far as the final party, first Denise had a ”family emergency” then there was no “family emergency” and now she is saying she had a fever.  Change your story on a few more things, Denise.  

Why would Denise have any problem with Lisa sharing the text messages between Denise and Brandi if anything Denise is saying is true?  If the texts were real and there was nothing to hide, show them.  If the texts were fabricated, then have Lisa read them and make her look like an ass.  What’s the problem, unless there’s something to hide?  Rather than saying Lisa Rinna needs to “be careful” over and over again, why doesn’t Denise just get real and explain whether the texts can be read or not and why?  All she does is talk bullshit—like a cease and desist is a mechanism to get someone to tell the truth—and it’s so tiring.  

This is where I feel like the cover up is worse than the crime.  Obviously no “crime” was committed, but it’s an expression or an analogy that whatever Denise may or may not have said or done couldn’t be worse than the double talk that she’s doing at the reunion.  At the season six reunion, Lisa R brought her telephone records to prove than she and Lisa V had spoken on the phone, which is something Lisa V had denied during the season.  I love that shit.  Awhile back, Andy banned props at the reunions, but not “evidence.”  Bring everything.  Let’s see it allll.  

I think everyone on this show has had to face their share of shit and now it’s Denise’s turn.  She just keeps deflecting and defending and that’s why she doesn’t survive it.  As much as we make fun of “own it,” there is more than a bit of truth to it.  With the Munchausen’s thing, Kyle and Lisa Rinna thought Lisa VanderPump threw them both under the bus, and all they wanted her to do was admit it aka own it and they were willing to move on.  Kyle and Rinna were completely good with Lisa as soon as that season ended and season seven began.  So, while this may be an UO, I think if Denise took one scintilla of responsibility for her bullshit, they would let her back in. They want the show to go on more than anyone.  

I think a good example of “owning it” or copping to it or taking accountability or whatever you want to call it is when Andy asked Lisa what the difference was between Erika’s go-go dancing and her daughters posing half-naked on Instagram and she said there really wasn’t a difference.  Lisa is a snake in the grass, I don’t trust her as far as I can throw her, but she really does own her shit.  Sometimes she even makes the things she said and did worse than they are to create a storyline, like she did with Yolanda and the Munchausen’s for the sake of a storyline.  Yolanda had forgiven Lisa for saying Munchausen’s and Lisa just kept saying how horrible she felt about having “engaged in” talk of Munchausen’s.  So, while Rinna will throw anyone under the bus in the blink of an eye, she also will throw herself under the bus in order to keep the show moving and I have a grudging respect for that.  Game recognize game.  

Wow, Denise unapologetically admitted to attempting to get Bravo to remove Brandi from the show because she wasn’t a cast member?!?  Girl’s got balls, I’ll give her that.  

Garcelle spent the entire first half of the season flying around the country and it wasn’t a small plane that they used to get to New York.  She changed her story in a hot second.  I love how she said she was sticking to “[her] truth” right after doing a 180 from her lie about the small plane to having to take care of her kids.  I take it she has enrolled at the Denise Richards School of Truth.

Teddi calling Aaron an asshole in her talking head was perhaps the most I’ve ever liked Teddi.  

And there we have the footage of Denise standing right next to Aaron at Sutton’s party while he chastised the women, when she had said in Rome she wasn’t there.  And the hits just keep on coming.  

Aaron won’t be at the reunion because none of the other husbands were there?  Guffaw.  It’s never stopped him before.  And I don’t care if Aaron speaks to women, but it is rich that Denise is now using the man-woman barrier in her defense.  

So Denise’s point to Erika is that Aaron is allowed to come to Kyle’s barbecue, lecture everyone, and Erika is not allowed to ask him about it at Sutton’s event?  Apparently this is Denise and Aaron’s world (the world where cancer is your friend) and the rest of us are just passing through.  

And Aaron is allowed to get away with threatening to crush Denise’s hand because he supposedly doesn’t remember saying it??  But there’s footage, so whether he remembers is of no moment—he said it!!  Dorit and PK had to pay the piper when they said Lisa Rinna and Eileen should have disclosed their parents’ deaths to the rest of the women and then didn’t remember it and they both showed up to the reunion and had to answer for it.  What a pussy to drunkenly yell at women at a barbecue, but when they are prepared to face him, he can’t even be bothered to wander into his own living room in order to answer a few questions.  That’s a real catch Denise has gotten for herself.  

This installation of the reunion was actually kind of fun until Dorit gave a full view of her gross hair and then I threw up in my mouth.  

[nexxie]

Wow, bringing up Heather Locklear! Ssssssnake!

[Axie]

You are a bad friend, Rinna.  And, Andy, you know all about the Heather Locklear thing, prick.

Rinna just said it twice. She said to Denise Why don't you leave this show and stay on the B&B? She just said if she had to do it over again  she would not have had Denise come on the show There it is. The entire season has been engineered to get rid of Denise. And they succeeded.

Shrug. I am not Team Denise - I think she's too fragile and controlling for the show. There are parts of Garcelle I like but I am not really team anyone here. Rinna's behavior is confounding to me. 

[RealHousewife]

Erika, you're the same misogynist who says she doesn't like or trust women and prefers not to have them as friends. I cut you slack for that because yes, some women are horrible, jealous, and vindictive. You, Rinna, Kyle and Teddi being shining examples! But now, "oh it's just the girls! We're not six Mike Tysons." I'd rather be in a room with Mike Tyson. 

[chewycandy]

Lisa Rinna is psycho. 

[Pondlass1]

No more Rinna. Fire her..what a bitch!

[65mickey]

I hope I never hear the words open and honest ever again. Seems like Kyle and Rinna decided in advance these were words to use and they did.

[Ms Blue Jay]

Rinna:  "I'm a truth teller".

So the translation of that is I'm going to talk shit and make up lies about everyone and if anyone tries to tell the truth about me I will kill you.

Oh yes, Rinna... You're a truth teller all right...  And Vyle: Honesty... It means everything.  JEEBUS!  Can I barf now??

I sure hope they feel that way when they get their wish and Saddy Blabville joins the cast!

Exactly.  It was so pathetic when he closed the show and said something like "We've done a lot of damage to a lot of women's lives over the years, and yet they've been able to remain friends.  Isn't that nice?"

[Straycat80]

Aaaand done! What a bad season. I don’t blame Denise for saying peace out and not coming back. Garcelle is too good for this show, she doesn’t fit in with the harpies anyway, she’s not friends with them, she has her own group of friends that we saw in the beginning episode. 
also did not think Sutton was interesting. I just didn’t warm up to her. 
Can’t stand Rinna but unfortunately she has nothing else but this show, she’s not going anywhere. And greasy Andy likes her.

The rest of them aren’t going anywhere either, I think we’re stuck with them.

[LibertarianSlut]

Clearly the show isn’t important to Denise if she’s texting while they show the package of her and Lisa’s failed friendship.  I guarantee she was texting Aaron “what the fuck do I say to this?”  Why did Denise even show up?  Was it to show us that she didn’t care?  Because I’m pretty sure she made that apparent long before the reunion.  I think what Denise has proven by appearing at this reunion is that she can’t hang.  Grabbing the script and her lucite heels was such a desperate gambit to show us she has other things going on in her life.  As if every single viewer didn’t know she works on a soap opera.  

Kyle is kind of a beast, but it was a sorely needed reality check when she chimed in that the reason that no one pulls each other aside is because they’re on a TV show.  

Nice try in trying to expose Lisa for not liking Brandi, Denise.  Epic fail.  You know why?  Because Lisa owned that she didn’t like Brandi.  Easy as pie!  Denise is so afraid of anything coming out about her, and it makes her a shitty opponent.  Why can’t Lisa talk about Heather Locklear and the fact that Heather and Denise were friendly when Denise started banging Richie Sambora if Denise did nothing wrong in that situation?  

My heart weeps for Dorit and her poor feelings about the Lisa-Denise fallout.  

Garcelle knows how to keep her options open.  Instead of constantly making the show look bad, her parting words to Andy were that the show was not scripted, which he loves for them to say.  That’s what it looks like not to burn a bridge and show your ass, Denise.  

This was by far the best reunion installment of the season.  I think the show would have been better if they’d completely scrapped parts one and two and just given us this.

True - and also true that Denise is better off without such a “friend.”
