S11.E19: Over-Poured and Over-Board

[jewel21]

Quote

The trip to Del Mar continues with a tour of local wineries, and the ladies get a taste of another shocking story from Erika; after Crystal and Lisa soak up a unique fitness experience, Sutton questions Kyle and Dorit on their "alleged" naivete. 

Airdate: 09/29/2021

Please limit your discussion to events that occur in this episode.  Real time events are spoilers and belong in the media or individual housewife threads.

Oh great…the very first scene has them sampling wines. That’s always a good sign of warm and fuzzy things to come with this group.

His cataract exploded?? I thought it was the glaucoma...same old thing evidently lol.

[eleanorofaquitaine]

Ha, Garcelle, having the same reaction as the rest of us over the "snowing in Pasadena" thing.

[chick binewski]

I already cannot take Dorit seriously. That hairstyle is not reversing my position.

[WaltersHair]

Exploding cataracts? Does Homeland Security know about this?

Next thing we will all have to have eye exams before boarding the airplane. 

[Straycat80]

So now the burglary at Tom’s house made his cataract explode and he had to have surgery. The son rolled his car 4-6 times because of the snow. Allegedly.  And Crystal is crying because I don’t thinks she’s done or said anything relevant for about three episodes now.

[eleanorofaquitaine]

That is a beautiful location, I have to give Kathy that.

[Chicklet]

I don't even drink and now I want some of that wine.

Guess it's a hard show to get seen on if one doesn't have a victim narrative. Hard to figure out who's suffered the most...

[bosawks]

I want to go on a cable car winery tour!

I was wondering why they were wearing flak jackets when I had my cataract surgery.

[Andi27]

I understand why Crystal is upset - seeing a loved one go through that is painful. But if Tom is really broke (or he or his family are trying to prove he is broke), then they don't have the funds for full time private in home care.

Just three episodes? Even Teddi had more presence and that’s saying a lot.

Not Fancy Drew! Ha!

Well, she did kind of call bullshit on Erika’s story, so I’ll give her that. She could have sat there and acted like a bobble head when Rinna kept insisting “It’s all true! It’s all true!”

Sutton for the win so far with the Scooby-Doo snark.

[eleanorofaquitaine]

Rinna, that coat is a fancy trash bag.

Also Dorit's hair is inspired by Cindy Lou Who.

Sorry I don't believe for one minute that he or his wife have no money. They hid a lot of assets, in fact there was just a  news article about Erika hiding bank accounts.

[bosawks]

Does Erika’s anger over those who’ve abandoned Tom extend to herself?

[Julyolo]

Why does Erica get to commandeer every social event they all attend with her drama? Why doesn't somebody just change the subject?

[Straycat80]

So now mean, horrible Tom who treated Erika so bad is in need of help and sympathy. Allegedly. Why is she changing her tune? A call from her lawyer. 

[chick binewski]

Erika did NOT just say that?

FFS the man is in the situation he's in because he effed over the people he was hired to help.

[bosawks]

My Dad would be all over my buying bottles of wine in his honor.

He’d prefer gin but wine would do…

[Mr. Miner]

Phony AF!

[RoseAllDay]

Wait…didn’t Erika file for divorce? Now Tom is a great guy? And after all this time, I STILL find the hold she has over these women fascinating. 

Just stay on the sidelines Garcelle, and keep telling it like it is.
 

[Emmeline]

I think Erika needs to take a MasterClass in storytelling because she sucks at it.  I hope one day we know the sequence of events from Tom’s journey off the cliff.  I actually wondered if he realized his crimes were catching up with him and it might have been a suicide attempt.

[Lady Lucy]

Thank you Garcelle.  They ARE kissing her butt and the ARE phony as hell.

 

[Chicklet]

Erika has positioned herself as the wounded party with this group. She's holding court and it's ridiculous and they should all be able to see the lies.

[charliesan]

Oh God, Kyle’s a cvunt, I’m sorry don’t block me but… she’s a cvnt, nothing else to say. 

[eleanorofaquitaine]

Basically I think Erika is telling these stories to create chaos. Narcissists love being chaos agents so that they can create the illusion of control. I suspect that is why stories keep changing and getting wilder.

[nexxie]

Ugh, it’s sickening to see these cowardly women crawl up Erika’s ass week after week. The world would be so much nicer if people didn’t fall for and kiss up to bullying cons.

[Shannah Banana]

Kyle is trying to set Sutton up for a fall.  She is NO friend to Sutton.  Sutton will have to wise up to that.

[bosawks]

I am not ashamed to admit that I would endure dinner with Erika if it included those crab claws.

[Straycat80]

All this Erika ass kissing is nauseating! Ugh! 

[Chicklet]

Erika threatened Sutton but she's so positive and fun-loving, bunch of harpies.

Two words: Malignant narcissism. She has to be at the center of attention, which is why her stories get more fantastical by the week, and why her reactions are so over the top.

[FlyingEgret]

Stay strong Sutton - dont cave to Kyle's fake pressure...

[Mr. Miner]

🤮

[Julyolo]

"That's a big deal to pay the rent". Hey Erica, it's a big deal when a law firm doesn't pay its litigants' monetary awards!!

[eleanorofaquitaine]

This Erika-holding-court thing is more than I would be able to take.

[Chicklet]

Wait a minute....Erika is broke and she brought her glam squad for her makeup?

[Straycat80]

No Sutton don’t trust that bitch Erika, she’s being nice to you because her puposedly broke ass is going to ask for a loan. 

[chick binewski]

It's become a physical chore to watch this show and I am kind of loathing myself for it. Bravo & this cast is turning Erika into Teresa and I am not here for it.

She's a performance artist, and I'm sticking to that opinion.

And she needs plastic surgery. Another backhand to the burn victims, whose money most likely paid for all her previous body work. 

May I remind you, Erika, that you are broke. You said so yourself. CVS’s makeup aisle has a lot of anti-aging concealers you can get on the cheap.

EDIT: In her defense, it’s a bare-bones glam squad. Just hair and makeup. No Mikey, no tens of thousands of assistants to squeeze her into her outfits, no consultants to choose accessories. It must be SO, SO hard right now.

These women are making complete asses of themselves. Sitting at the table all wide eyed and teary eyed  while Erika spins her lies. Rinna with her ALL TRUE  ALL TRUE and food hanging out of her mouth.  This is the first time in years that she has eaten on camera and every episode she makes a point of shoving food in her mouth. Not buying it. She probably goes back to her room and throws up.

Boy am I glad that I got my cataracts removed last year before they exploded. Hate when that happens. 

[bosawks]

I’m pretty sure Erika isn’t home crying.

Home plotting revenge, yes.

Home carving “redrum” into the walls, yes.

Home having Tiago smell Sutton’s clothes whispering “kill”, yes.

But crying, no.

[FlyingEgret]

So strange that the Bankruptcy Trustee didnt grab Erika's latex outfit.. 

[RoseAllDay]

What is it with pickleball and these women?
