Wait.  Tom had to go to the hospital because he has glaucoma?  I hate when that happens.

Ugh, I don't know why I bother, but just watched WWHL and there are Andy C. and Rinna gushing over how great Erika was at the Reunion they just filmed. They were kissing her ass up, down and sideways.  You have to wonder why...Even guest Sarah Paulson said Sutton deserved the treatment she got from Erika because she chose to put herself out there and ask questions. If this ends up becoming an Erika love fest I am done with Mr. Cohen and his evil sideshow.

That's absolutely horrifying.

[WaltersHair]

Are we really 17 episodes in? I'm going to be going through major physical withdrawals. The reunions are always exhausting, but I live for the episodes.

This is beginning to remind me of that time a bunch of celebrities signed that ill-concieved letter about how Roman Polanski was too great artist an artist to not be allowed to come back to Hollywood. The reaction from the general public was so swift and loud they were all scrambling to apologize and take their names off it.

It's like everybody on Bravo looks at Erika and sees some brave heroine and every single thing I read from people outside Bravo is about how she totally lived on money from burn victims and orphans and is doing herself no favors by telling whoppers on TV.

I am still laughing over the idea of a snow storm in Pasadena. 

I haven't watched the episode yet, but I just did a quick Google search - the last time in snowed in Pasadena, California was in 1949.  Even Los Angeles hasn't had any snow since 2007.

Sounds pretty ridiculous to me that Erika would embellish a story with a lie that is so easily proven.

[mbaywife123]

Well, PK just won the season with his commentary at the couples dinner.

That was some funny shit right there. None of them could keep from laughing (at the redicoulousness of Erika's "stories")and neither could I.

I DVR'd this and will keep it indefinitely when I need a good belly/tears laugh!

[Mrs peel]

I’m watching on tape.  Quick thoughts:

Dorit thinks it’s a brilliant and unusual decision to host a wedding themed party for a wedding dress collection?  She doesn’t get out much.

does Kyle not have real pots and pans?  Why does she always use disposable cheap aluminum trays?

I don’t think Erika will think Kyle, Mauricio, Dorit and PK }had her back” at that dinner, but it was hysterical?

Pretty bad wedding dress design if Dorit has to constantly hold onto the dress so she doesn’t step on it.

The questions that I want Andy to ask Erika at the reunion are how much of the $25,000,000 that Tom Girardi transferred to your LLC is left and what did you spend this money on? And how will you repay the money to the law firm if and when you are ordered by the court to do so? 

[BluishGreen]

The Reunion will be a lot of soft ball questions and pats on the shoulder for poor EJ.  That's  evident by that fact photos of the Reunion show Erika in the prime seat, next to AC, and Sutton is at the  very end of the row.... so she has no support around her.

People love an underdog and one that is actually right. Sutton has had viewer support virtually all season. Erika stood on top Tom's Hill of Death™ and looked down on all the wreckage (real or imagined), but she doesn't own that hill anymore. And she doesn't own viewer opinion even if she owns Andy's.

Just watched here in CA. Yes, that conversation was laugh out loud funny. So both her husband and son have rolled cars. Of course, one was due to snow. So the son lives in the mountains and commutes to LA for his job? AS PK pointed out, what are the odds of both of them rolling cars within a few years of each other. And, granted I have not rolled a car,but I cannot imagine that anyone takes time to count how many times it rolls?  Erika is either batshit crazy, thinks we are or is a prolific, if not very convincing liar.

$35K for a wedding dress?   Wow. 

Poor PK is such a slob but he totally makes me laugh this season.  Wears a hoodie to dinner, orders tarter for the salmon (is Kyle the "friend" Kathy told us always serves salmon?) and then cracks everyone up with his brain surgery jokes.

I cracked up when Crystal's husband ordered a martini  PK (in his wine stained dinner jacket) just volunteered that he isn't allowed to drink martinis until after he eats because he starts talking utter shit.  Ha!  

Then Harry asks him,  "Why did you leave real estate?"  PK says, "Because I went broke."    Or when Harry wants to go inside "Personally I wouldn't suggest it."  "Go ahead, we'll watch it."   I never thought that old slob grifter would be my fave of the episode!

I have not watched this series in years, but is Erika always as monotone and devoid of any emotion while muttering out some tragic circumstance in a clip of a few words like she’s done this entire season?!? That’s really the unbelievable part—like she’s just rattling off a grocery list to herself. Milk, car flipped [5/6] times, eggs, [brain/glaucoma/ankle] surgery, bread, fought a burglar…

Yes she is.  The most surprising part of her personality this season is when she compliments someone else in an animated voice - that's what is completely unlike her 😄

[Miss Slay]

Dorit is annoying and exhausting when it comes to Garcelle. I personally believe that after Dorit made the comment about her POC help, she assumed that Garcelle was going to say she was racist. So she decided to go on the offense by calling Garcelle a bully. Get over it, Dorit.

Oh and these women aren't nice to Garcelle.

Ha! I thought the same thing!  I'd say she must really hate doing dishes except I'm sure she hasn't done dishes in a very long time. 

The best thing about Dorit's wedding party is I thought it was a good excuse to walk around in a wedding dress you love without having to you know, have a wedding.

And also, once again, all of the men but especially PK made me laugh with their fear of dealing with the women while they are arguing. It's disconcerting to find PK actually humorous. 

I feel this has happened a lot this season — the men enjoying each other’s company juxtaposed with the women arguing. Maybe the editors are amping it up, but I find it darkly funny.

Garcelle’s “will you just shut up?” being taken way out of context with the previews means the editors of this show have learned from the editors of RuPaul’s Drag Race, who do this all the time. 

Kathy makes me legit LOL every episode. I can’t help it. This week she hires the very expensive facialist/Reiki healer, and when the producers press her on what she thinks all the New Agey stuff means, she admits she just stops listening!

When Kyle and Erika are talking:

So when you came to Garcelle’s, you already knew this?

Yeah, I just didn’t say it.

Look at Erika. It looks like she’s thinking, “Kyle’s actually buying this s- - -.”

ETA: I watched it several times. It’s that final glance at Kyle after purporting she “just didn’t say it” at Garcelle’s.

To play Tom Brokaw. Wow…the stories tonight!

Both Toronto and Vancouver are pretty popular cities for both movies and series to be filmed, so I googled to see what and where Harry is filming. He is staring in the second season of the National Geographic scripted series The Hot Zone, filming in Toronto. I will definitely watch it when it airs in November, as I love Harry as an actor. (And a person for that matter). I am also going to search for the first season as I love series that are based on real life stories. 

Like others, I thought PK was hilarious in this episode. I am sure he is enjoying the heat being on someone else. I still think he is full of s**t though, as I don't for a minute believe he was worth two billion dollars at one time.  But as someone else posted, I would watch an episode of just the ho-husbands. They were hilarious. 

I loved seeing the flash back to Crystal's Fisher Price lunch bag. Too funny. And what was up with her basement? It looked like a hoarder's dream - or nightmare. Yikes.

Or the "my mom's best friend is black" comment. 

I'm not saying Dorit is racist, but the fact she is quick to call a black woman a bully when she has yet to call Erika, Rinna or Kyle bullies is not a good look. They literally bullied two women off the show the last two seasons. One of them was grieving the loss of her only sibling to suicide. Erika threatens, no promises, she's going after people. I did like that Dorit wasn't part of pushing Denise off the show. If you take out the shadiness around Dorit and PK, I have actually liked them both for the most part. Dorit's treatment of Garcelle has just really rubbed me the wrong way. 

She said Garcelle has had issues with Erika and Kyle. Yeah, so have you Dorit, pretty big ones too. Pantygate literally took over a season. She and Kyle got into it last year and this year. Crystal repeatedly said Garcelle wasn't there when Erika said to not repeat that Tom calls her, but for some reason it takes multiple times for Dorit to get it into her head. Dorit said she thinks Erika is protecting Tom and not looking out for herself. Yeah sure. Dorit lets Kyle be nasty to her over and over before she speaks up. Garcelle is honest about her feelings toward her, and I guess the way she approaches Dorit isn't good enough. Dorit wants her to be more abrasive like Kyle? I wouldn't mind Dorit saying hey Garcelle, that hurt my feelings. It's the fact she seems to only hold Garcelle to these super high standards that I don't like. She handles most of the others with kid gloves. If she were just consistently sweet and gave everyone benefit of the doubt, great. But she doesn't. She reserves her compassion for the mean girls.

I REALLY want someone to check the weather reports for the period she’s talking about. Easier than trying for police and/or accident reports. Though Tom was well known enough to have maybe drawn notice, or should have. Plus Erika was on the show when the original accident happened so you know when it was.
