[jewel21]

Quote

Sutton and Crystal continue stirring the sauce at Lisa’s Bolognese lunch, as they lay all their lingering issues out on the table. Amid bombshell news tied to her divorce, Erika unexpectedly melts down to Kyle and Garcelle begins to question the truth. Meanwhile, the group is forced into quarantine and Lisa uses the time at home to dig up hidden treasures for her daughters to finally enjoy.

I’m here for Garcelle questioning the Erikas’ story - no wonder a “pretty meltdown” is pulled out of that bag o’ tricks!

[eleanorofaquitaine]

Ladies, let's be real. The pants are hideous. 

ETA: I can't with Sutton. And Crystal is right. She wants Crystal to apologize for Sutton's actions. And she cries because she wants empathy.

Oh boy, this is getting worse and worse. Is there anything more going on with these women?

[Keywestclubkid]

#TeamCrystal 100% … at this point I’d be beyond done. Why does crystal need to bend and coddle Sutton? 

[Mindthinkr]

Sutton is more high maintenance than her expensive clothes. 

[eleanorofaquitaine]

I'm sorry, did I miss Sutton's apology for once again attacking Crystal? 

ETA: poor, fragile Sutton certainly was able to set an incredibly cruel thing about Crystal's presence setting her off.

Oh FFS Crystal thought she could make her Bravo bones by going after easy target Sutton, Sutton should not be on reality TV, and hot toddies are really annoying if you have to drink more than three a year. But let's dwell on all these topics instead of talking about Erika's crimes.

AND YES KYLE IF YOU TRAVEL ALL OVER DURING A PANDEMIC IT'S LIKELY YOU'LL CATCH SOMETHING. 

[nexxie]

And we know who you are, Rinna and Erika - you’d both do all kinds of shady shit!

[Keywestclubkid]

Wow this is on Fox News ….. ROFL

Sutton has gone after Crystal from jump even when she hasn’t said anything to her. 

[Mindthinkr]

Erika: “I can’t answer that.”

She will be gagged for the rest of the season. 

[eleanorofaquitaine]

Just not buying it, Erika. You're not the victim.

Also production including the line of Erika saying she can't say when she learned about the law suit? Oof.

Erika needs acting lessons.

We may need to change the title of this show to the victims of Beverly Hills.

You know who really started Sutton’s meltdown? KATHY for the Thomasina comment, and I am sure Sutton felt like everyone had still been talking about her creepy peeping Tom pop in. Just my opinion anyway, unfortunately I am a lot like Sutton and I get a good “read” when shit is going on around me. Call it paranoia but I am all about it. And crystal is mean, she’s obviously a much stronger person than Sutton. I don’t get why she’s has to cling to her word when she sees someone hurting. There is no compassion or empathy in her, I don’t like or trust people like that.

I don’t get why Sutton has to cling to a definition of the word that isn’t even the primary one and that Crystal has repeatedly said she was not implying and ignore someone’s feelings.

But Sutton saying that Crystal's presence is what bothers her isn't mean? I don't see much compassion or empathy in Sutton in those moments when she is attacking Crystal, despite all of her fragile tears.

I still think Crystal might have been purging when Sutton walked in - Sutton suggested tonight that Crystal was defensive about something.

[Keywestclubkid]

Rinna must have fallen and bumped her head where is her Nancy Drew, I smell a mystery?

Why should she? But Why does she have to coddle someone who just attacked her AGAIN? Sutton went off the hook on her at that party totally unprovoked … if anyone should be apologizing it’s Sutton .. like you said Kathy started this not crystal shouldn’t that have been directed at Kathy?

Erika, eff you and eff your small house with a pool and TWO rooms for all your ugly clothes and shoes and eff your bad acting and fake stories about crying.

[WaltersHair]

I'm conflicted on how I feel about Erika's excuses. Did her words about Tom over the years seem more genuine than they do now? Yes. I believed her when she said she loved him and would stay with him. What she'saying now just doesn't ring true to me. She put more emotion into saying her house is too small than what she's been saying about Tom.

 

[eleanorofaquitaine]

Aw, I like that Kyle and Garcelle are getting along.

ETA: Good lord, Erika. She keeps making it about her. Try to pretend like you care about the people who were defrauded.

Didn’t see last week so just seeing the leather pants and jungle dress for the first time tonight.  I don’t think either of them are bad.    You have to be very thin to wear pleated leather pants!  The jungle dress is not something I’d wear, but it is fun.

So you are admitting you knew something was amiss and you were asking about it? Girl STOP TALKING 

Edited July 15, 2021 by Keywestclubkid

[eleanorofaquitaine]

I do agree with Erika that women should be aware of what their family finances are. I just don't believe she was that unaware of what was going on. And the more she tries to cast Tom as the sole bad guy, the less I believe it.

Are those designer sweats Ericka is wearing???  Trying to imagine how much they cost.  They look like something we could buy at Walmart, though.

Because Kathy is the ditziest funniest dumb blonde-ish lady! Look, I feel how I feel, I won’t change your mind you won’t change mine. Attacking the queen bees sister could get her booted, and not have everyone around her trying to make her feel better. She’s not a strong person and shouldn’t be on this show, as someone who’s been thru menopause and the end of a long relationship, I just happen to feel her more so that the Lion King’s mean wife.

So Sutton is calculating? She’s playing these girls to get the outcome she wants? 
 

Not trying to change your mind just debating :) we all like different housewives

If that’s the case why attack anyone? 

[Andi27]

What is going on with Kathy's creepy doll wreaths?!

[Mindthinkr]

Erika has a room (or two) for her clothes. Rinna has a garage or storage area, but a much bigger house. 

[eleanorofaquitaine]

I don't love Rinna's dresses, but they also aren't the worst I have seen, especially from that late 90s era. Otherwise, though, that segment was boring. 

[Thumper]

Kyle looks prettier with her hair down and less makeup like she wore in her zoom and on her balcony.

Less Botox too.

Well - I’m glad I can finally join this thread. I just couldn’t with the whole Sutton/Crystal thing. I did really like Sutton’s dress last episode - but she is not emotionally equipped to be a Housewife.

Reminded me why I stopped watching this show. It’s excruciating to listen to these women. Poor Garcelle. Is the free publicity worth it?

Sidebar - enough with the fucking logo hats ladies. Kyle, Kathy and Dorit got Covid…shocking…too bad it wasn’t the Delta variant. Too mean? And I’m actually enjoying Kathy.

Erika - you’re a lying liar who lies.

Pretty much, yea! Insecure I would call it, I am not surprised she’s divorced. I am far stronger than her, but maybe not thru the menopause times....I would just not hang with people who I thought sucked. I don’t have the gut for it. 

[Thumper]

I like Garcelle’s ombre’d gray hair.

Ericka’s backyard with the pool and big cabana thing is nice!

[TexasGal]

Crystal at least seemed genuine in saying there was nothing wrong with Erika’s “cottage.”  Unlike everyone else fussing over it and clearly being fake.

[JD5166]

Poor Portia, I will tell the kids who couldn’t afford to eat how horrible it’s been for Kyle and her family. Oh, and Erica.....in her sweats, poor thing. 

[RealHousewife]

Kyle is a really loving mother. 

[Keywestclubkid]

The nerd sorority! Lol when I was in it it was the cool sorority… the SHAAAADE of that comment 

[eleanorofaquitaine]

Sutton's oldest daughter must have just turned 18. (She seems lovely and nice).

[nexxie]

Sutton doesn’t want her baby to hook up with one of Scott Disick’s pals.

Coming in late so just saw the Crystal Sutton fight and

I do. At this point Crystal's agreed with Sutton on her version of events and Sutton is still demanding that Crystal change the one thing she has left--her own feelings. And for all her baby crying, she's fine to try to be snarky in her interviews. It would be the most important thing in the world to me in that moment to not give her anything else while everybody's circled her and petting her.

She'd probably have been in the bathroom in that case, right? 

Rinna was right when she first said Crystal's apology was a fauxpology, but I'm sorry I said it and I won't say it again is fine.

So far haven't seen any particular concern from Erika about what her husband's done. It's like the whole thing's just a hassle that's hitting her as an innocent person.

[JD5166]

KEEP YOUR WHORE DAUGHTERS AWAY FROM THIS LOVELY SMART GIRL, RINNA! 

[Keywestclubkid]

Erika posing posing … and that’s called Acting ladies and gentlemen 

[chick binewski]

Both Leah and Erika have been doing their level best to steal the fake crying crown from its rightful owner Tamra Barney Judge and I CANNOT.
