S12.E08: It Takes a Villain

[dbell1]

Diana reminds me of some backwoods trailer park Brittnee who hit the power ball lottery. She’s got the same taste and clothing styles, plus the “bitch, imma fight you” attitude, while wearing pappy’s latest roadkill. Can they ship her to OC or something?

Now is Sutton sincere? Nope, but she’s trying to understand the new girl. Just want Diana to be a one season howife. Hag is racist, we don’t need that. 

Erika dances better without Mikey’s “choreography”. Can’t wait to see what’s her next venture. Maybe “pat the puss itching powder”?

Glad to see Dorit ditch the robbed widow interview garb for a giant Chanel necklace. She can swing it at the next people who break into to lay her phone by the gate.

Garcelle is a flawless 55. And she was quite feisty on WWHL.

Erika is just mean. Period.

But I distinctly heard Erika say that, like her grandmother, she has a big heart. This prompted me to try to come up with a single incident where Erika displayed a "big heart." Which I could not.

Diana is so rich she believes she can be as big of an asshole she wants with no consequences.  If she is going to show more of this behavior, dear god let her direct it towards Rinna.  Amen.

[Slakkie]

I truly feel Diana came to the show AND sent the text specifically to fight with Garcelle and Sutton and it seems Kyle was put in charge of keeping Sutton in the scene so Diana could attack her over and over.  I still have no idea why she attacked Garcelle and why she hates Sutton so much - it makes no sense.

It seemed really gross - like she is the Bravo pimp.  No complaints at the vile things Diana said but when Sutton lashed out she was telling her to stop.  The whole thing was gross.  Diana adds really no value. I hope that she goes away after this

Sutton may not like Diana or believe everything she says, but I think she is sincere when she says she has empathy.

I thought the dig about Sutton being frail was really cruel. Most of the other women don't go below the belt and insult one another's looks.

Garcelle on WWHL. Called Diana crazy and uneducated. Called Crystal a liar for saying Sutton said something darker. And is glad Erika had to surrender her earrings. I love her, she does not suffer fools.

Did I just hear Erika refer to her grandmother as “that little bitch”. 
She gives try hards a bad name.

Dorit's mother was born in Morocco, and most probably like some of the Jewish diaspora moved to the state of Israel after its creation in 1948 to answer a question from the first page.

I can't help think that she signs on for this show for some particular reason.  She apparently has plenty of money and already hangs out with the rich and famous (and infamous).  Supposedly a full life.  No business or product to pimp.  So again, why sign on  to be a housewife?

Diana and her freudian slip when Garcelle and Kyle joined her and Suttons conversation, after Diana had been a real childish jerk during the whole ‘conversation’ with Sutton... she said “I’m going to Butthead her”. Hahahaha! Thats exactly what she is, a Butt head to Sutton all the time! She has a butthead personality, as far as I can tell. 

That lizard skin Dorit was wearing looked awful on her bony body. It was way too tight and clung way too tightly to her crotch area, and looked unattractive because of that aspect.

And the gloves were ridiculously stupid.

 It is funny to me, though, that Sutton was upset about being called boring.  Considering one of the first things she said on this show is that she originally thought Teddi was boring!  Sutton was also wrong to initiate this conversation at Garcelle’s party.  Pick another time and place!

Also - her demanding that Diana explain herself immediately!  Sutton is just so bad at the RH game 😄

Erika's over-the-top reaction to Denise not showing up to the party is exactly why Denise didn't go to the party. Garcelle being upset about it is fair, but I hope she understands that perhaps Denise didn't want to go where she knew the Bravo Bravo fucking Bravo cameras would be with the majority of cast there… the cast who made Denise's time on the show hell. 

More Sheree, less Diana. 

Kyle's a one-trick pony with her splits. 

[CrinkleCutCat]

Dorit being dismissive of Sutton’s testosterone replacement therapy: one day peri-menopause will hit you too Dorit so knock it off.

The English Norfolk: it’s not quite pronounced ‘folk’ with the ‘oh’ sounding O, nor ‘fuck’ with the hard U. The O is kind of skipped past quickly. Like the second T in Toronto isn’t articulated clearly.

Diane really is a piece of work! Her insults are all over the place, like she’s just throwing random jabs to see what sticks. Her attitude toward Sutton seems so random and out of proportion. I mean, who cares if Sutton calls herself a vegetarian yet eats bacon (for the record I don’t think Sutton actually called herself a vegetarian but I could be wrong), it isn’t evidence of poor character for goodness sake. Laughing at Diane is probably the best defence as she’s trying so hard to be a ‘badass’.

There it is!! I don’t care what anyone says, I hear Dorit when I hear her mom talk. The sharpness in some places and abrupt ending for some words and deliberate enunciation. It’s a a daughter picking up an accent FROM an accent and not because of actually being fluent in another language and having to learn English. Now it makes perfect sense why Dorit sounds like she’s faking an accent. She’s mimicking an accent that worked it’s way into her development of speech as she was growing up. You can’t convince me otherwise. 

I present Dorit speaking in 2013:

There is a hint of an accent in some of her pronunciations but nothing like the accent she has now and has had her entire time on the show. And, yes, she and PK had been dating for a couple years at the time of the video.

Diana’s Room 23 book:

As described on her website:

”Sanela Diana Jenkins presents Room 23, a fine art coffee table book that features photography and art direction by Deborah Anderson. This artistic exploration depicts a year in the life of a Beverly Hills penthouse suite featuring 100 celebrities. Proceeds support human rights projects.

The photographs tell a glamorous story of all that takes place behind these closed doors. They are a mélange of playful, provocative and intimate images that reflect the inspired mood of both Diana and Deborah.

Diana conceptualized the creation of Room 23 motivated by the idea to pair her passion for raising awareness for The Sanela Diana Jenkins Human Rights Project at UCLA School of Law with beautiful and entertaining photographs of her friends. Jenkins is committed to working and raising funds dedicated to stopping war crimes, genocide and many other human rights violations that will not cease without action.“
 

You can scroll through all the book’s photos. Most of them do not depict real life in the suite, they are mostly posed erotica. Personally, I find it weird and disturbing to use erotica in a book made to fundraise and increase awareness about war crimes. It’s also very disturbing to see paedophile and sex trafficker Epstein in a book that’s raising money for human rights. Rinna is in one of them…nude in the bath, of course.

Sutton told Diana she had her number  - 867 5309 - which drove me deep within my memory bank, and it was the name of an old Tommy Tutone song (867 5309/Jenny) about some dude fantasizing about "Jenny" whose number he got off the wall, for a good time (for a good time) call...

That Sutton says the darndest things and sometimes I just wonder why. 

And now, I will have that song in my head for a very long time.  It's one of those kind.

Um, Crystal had absolutely nothing to do with that exchange. The notion that she's to blame for Diana's behavior is... something. 

Anyway, I am not even a Denise fan but how did she screw over Garcelle three times? That was a bizarre claim from Erika.

Sorry I wasn’t more clear. Diana poking and goading Sutton, knowing how Sutton would react, was exactly how Crystal has treated Sutton, despite this so-called “detente” Crystal and Sutton now have. I’m sure Diana is well aware of the spats those two have had, and sees how it’s easy to get Sutton riled up. That’s why I wish Sutton just would not engage — she can’t keep her cool, which is exactly the desired response.

She went through some pretty hurtful stuff. Just look at how Erika jumped her shit last night, for no good reason. Can anybody tell me what, exactly, Denise did to Garcelle three times? I only remember Denise not answering her phone when Garcelle and Mike stopped to pick her up for a party.

Yes, Garcelle is probably disappointed, but I know she understands. She was a good friend by offering the invite.

About Diana…it was a huge mistake adding her to the show. There are “entertaining” villains (Brandi, maybe?) and vile villains. Her nastiness puts her in a “class” by herself. Please, Andy, read the room and put this bitch “on pause” (as Dorinda Medley calls her sacking) after this season. PLEASE.

I have issues with this story as well, from sad personal experience. It absolutely does not add up. 

By saying “the baby fell out of her,” what she is describing is grossly known as an “incompetent cervix.” The cervix cannot support the weight of the growing baby/fetus. It obviously can’t be diagnosed by ultrasound — you don’t know you have it until it happens, and often it causes severe, sometimes life-threatening bleeding.

Yes, they would have (should have) done a D&C or induced labor if the baby/fetus died in utero, of fear of sepsis, no matter what, and I think it would be medically inadvisable to attempt another pregnancy, especially considering her age. She would be considered high risk. I was, and it’s no damn fun.

If she truly went through all that, and was still able to fly off to Mexico and come back loaded for bear at a birthday party…just wow. Nope. Not buying it.

 I still have no idea why she attacked Garcelle and why she hates Sutton so much - it makes no sense.

I have a  theory re. her hatred toward Sutton.  It has to be bacon/vegetarian related.  Diana ONLY associates Sutton with her heinous crime of eating a mostly a plant based diet, but occasionally indulging in a crispy strip of bacon.

 I think Diana must have been experienced some kind of bacon-related trauma.  Perhaps while traipsing across Europe with her mega rich husband, she was staying at a luxury villa. She asked the chef for some bacon with her toast and caviar, but the kitchen was out.  The chef, a blonde American woman from Georgia, subbed out real bacon with soy vegan “fake-on” and it was so awful, Diana made her husband buy the resort, sack the entire staff and burn it to the ground.  She forever associates “bacon” and “vegetarian” with this atrocity.  Her hatred of this memory cannot be forgotten and she suffers from PTSD because of it.  Sutton “triggers” Diana and forces her to relive that excruciating time in her life.  It’s almost as damaging as, hmmm, I don’t know…surviving a a war in Bosnia?

  Why does Kyle always beeline and stick herself into the middle of other people's conflicts?? It's so annoying. And then she pontificates instead of facilitates, so it always goes sideways. I hope she was embarrassed watching herself roll around on the dance floor and the couch. Time and place, Kyle.

Interesting that Diana said "Do you need a new villain?" What did she mean? Was she referring to Erika being the previous villain? It seems like Diana is getting coached off camera by the other ladies. Her reactions are oversized compared to what we've seen. I was surprised she went so hot for Garcelle.

 I wish for Dorit intense night sweats, hot flashes and weight gain! Shut it Dorit, you have no idea what menopause is like. Yet.

I’d call Clooney for sure… he’s in the book 😘

IIRC, Amal Clooney was refashioned as a human rights attorney, despite the fact that she and her team had defended human rights violators.

This episode was a snooze fest.

I wanted the party to be more dynamic for Garcelle's sake because I like Garcelle.  But it was dull.

My eyes glaze over with boredom whenever the camera focuses on Diana.  At least when Erika was the designated villainess, I stayed interested.

I’m sure she was, but I’m also sure she understands why. Denise is one of those types, apparently, who just goes to ground and tries to disappear to avoid conflict. 

You keep saying that you're "sure" Garcelle understands but that seems more about your feelings re Denise. In fact, we were expressly shown that Garcelle DIDN'T understand. I mean, I am not sure how to interpret Garcelle's bringing up the fact that Denise wasn't there as anything other than her not understanding. She could have said, "I’m disappointed but I understand" but she didn't. Instead she made a point if pointing out that Denise wasn't there and then indicated she was kind of done defending her.

While I am not much of a Denise fan, I personally do understand why Denise failed to show up. I wouldn't go back into that environment either, if I were her. But it appears that Garcelle doesn't understand why Denise wouldn't put that stuff aside to celebrate Garcelle's birthday.

I'm confused how this disproves the idea that Diana is nouveau riche tacky? Those all seem exactly the things that tacky nouveau riche people have.

I think Luanne from RHONY was right when she said "Money can't buy you class"  Diana proves it!

I think Diana's sense of truth fell down the same cliff that claimed Tom Girardi.

And now she probably has glaucoma.
