S13.E17: Soirees and Separations

QQQQ · February 22

Sutton celebrates her success with an over-the-top shopping day; PK's continued absence leaves Dorit questioning her progress; the White Party is back and bigger than ever; a shocking headline forces Kyle to reckon with her marriage.

Straycat80 · February 22

I think it’s weird this party is in the middle of a football field. And Erika is totally lip synching. And I hope her workers don’t expect to be paid.

FlyingEgret · February 22

The White Party felt cold to me; I think it was having a relatively small amount of guests in such a cavernous space. I preferred the backyard venue.

How much of the $400k budget was spent on the musical guest?

Love Sutton's new earrings!

QQQQ · February 22

Would someone please teach the Bravo editors who are responsible for the onscreen comments about proper comma placement?

Keywestclubkid · February 22

$400,000 to throw a party to cover up how bad your marriage is going … Mo not giving two shits and was busy actually enjoying himself and joking around then being barated by Kyle for making a joke that they might have the party in a parking lot … good god …. Mo run for the freaking hills

Stats Queen · February 22

That huge venue for a group that small. It was so tacky and cold.

Erika “singing” It’s Expensive To Be Me” was a choice, a really bad choice.

Man, I my dislike of Kyle grows with every episode.
She couches her mean jabs in “jokes” not funny at all, just mean, mean mean.

Straycat80 · February 22

Oh Kyle don’t take advice from Erika, like her life has gone so well.
I think it’s sad a 27 year marriage is ending but why do this on TV? It’s just famewhoring. And probably Mo cheating. I feel bad they put their girls through this.

Edited to add: Dorito comes dressed as Little Red Riding Hood for the reunion.

Watching this "impromptu" family meeting, I can't decide if Kyle and Mo are shameless fame whores, acting, completely insensitive, or all of the above.

Keywestclubkid · February 22

Well I see that burying your head in the sand and pretending everything is fine is a family trait passed down from big Kathy ..

Erika gave Kyle decent advice about focusing on what Kyle needs for her own happiness, but she lost me when she said that her career is her greatest happiness as opposed to say, her son.

All of the above.

janiema · February 22

Actually, I predict a reconciliation once the reunion episodes are done. The two of them don’t really seem all that upset and I can’t believe that they would have filmed that scene with their daughters if they were not getting back together. It was indefensible. I guess we now have The Morally Corrupt Kyle Richards.

Pondlass1 · February 22

Sutton’s daughter is so natural and pretty. Hope she stays that way.

dont forget the cross over and insinuative to watch their Netflix show to drag this out

Kyle finally had a storyline but she hid it until she couldn’t anymore. 🤷‍♀️

I saw it - she, of course is the victim.

The fact that she doesn’t think she’s been mean to Sutton, just wow, last season she grabbed her arms and shoulders with her man hands.

Even for Dorit, that outfit looked ridiculous. I also thought she looked very under-dressed for the White Party.

njbchlover · February 22

I'm still processing most of this episode, and will probably have more comments later, but, after watching this episode and the previous episodes of the season, I am convinced that Kyle has worked out a deal with Hermes to get either deeply discounted or free Birkin and Kelly bags, as long as she prominently displays them at least once an episode.

What finally convinced me was that during her conversation in her living room with Erika, there was a tan Birkin sitting off to the side on the couch. I just can't imagine why anyone would just have their handbag sitting on the couch in their living room while entertaining someone. Just makes no sense to me.

WaltersHair · February 22

Well, that What Party aged like milk. They spent more on it than most people do on a house. In prosperous times, this would have been enjoyable, but with a crashing economy and Erika singing about how expensive she is, it's gross.

SnarkAttack · February 22

I agree, the party was sterile and was much better by their pool.

Annemarie's husband was underdressed.

Denise has lost me. I really don't care to see her on my TV anymore.

Sutton's daughter is beautiful. Looks a lot like Sutton.

For some reason I haven't noticed Crystal's height in prior seasons; she's taller than all of them!

I think Garcelle needed more boob support in her dress.

Kyle really does seem sad, and like she said, her friend's death really made her rethink things. Maybe once more time goes by, she'll be less emotional and decide not to end the marriage. Of course, Mau may have other ideas. Also, when did "Mo" become "Mau"? I watch with captions because I listened to loud Def Leppard too much in my youth and people mumble on TV. Captions now show "Mau" (which is more accurate!).

This White Party was all about Kyle asserting herself as a singular entity, and no longer "Kyle and Mauricio". What I loved about their past White Parties was that they always seemed to enjoy the more home-y setting of their gorgeous properties together, as a couple. This felt like too much like a corporate party - I'm surprised they weren't giving out "The Agency" swag. On second thought, no, I'm not surprised - as Kyle set out to prove she can do this without Mauricio (but, probably NOT without Mauricio's money).

I don't give a shit that she protested to Kevin Lee about her name, and her name ONLY, on the dance floor. She was secretly happy about that.

I also don't believe for a second that Kevin Lee would do something like that, and spend a big chunk of change on that without her prior approval. If he did, he would lose business, for not following client's wishes.

Kyle also annoyed me with her snarky shit and shade about LVP. That was unnecessary, childish and just mean-girl.

I didn't notice - was Kim at this party? And, were Kyle's former bff's - Teddi and Lisa Rinna in attendance? And what about her new bff - Morgan Wade? I guess Morgan's music and performance wouldn't have blended well with the over-done, ridiculous performance from Erika Jayne.

This is from the recap at vulture.com:

Portia, the sullen teen who doesn’t even want to show her face to the camera, is the first one to crack. Of course, she is; she’s the only one still in the house full time, the one who is trying to deal with this and also the hormones of adolescents. Kyle hugs her on the couch and tries to make it better. I like to imagine what happened next: Portia threw her Stanley tumbler down to the floor and stormed off to her room. When Kyle got up there, Portia shouted, “Why, Mom? Why? Why did you make me sit in that fucking room in front of that fucking camera for this fucking show? You care more about them than you do about us. Why are you trying to make it right for them? Huh? What about me? Who is here to watch me when Dad is opening new offices in Panama, and you’re out shoe shopping with Morgan?” Kyle stood there in the doorway, her hands on either side of the frame, and she had no answers. She had nothing to say.

Pi237 · February 22

All of Kyle's explanations this entire season were clear as mud. Are they breaking up or not? Are they basically 'divorced' but working out the financials before it's official? Seemed unnecessary to put their kids through this for 'we're just having a bad year' A whole season of not wanting to 'JUST TELL THE TRUTH!' She ends talking about 'trust' How is that Not cheating? If anyone else did that, she'd have rode their asses nonstop.

Loved Sutton's new earrings!! which cost more than my car lol

White party looked like a long commercial.

SweetieDarling · February 22

ok, I admit, I'm a horrible person, but Kyle can cry me a river. It's fairly obvious to me that Mau had an affair and got caught and/or refuses to stop/give her up.

When my 2 boys were early elementary school age, my husband spent most of Jan to March of one year on the opposite side of the country because of his job (they allowed him to fly home for weekends). Our families lives 2 hours away, and I knew no one local. I made it work. I hated it and resented him/his job at the time. But with time I have come to appreciate the time his job/income allowed me to spend with my children. I came to enjoy the endless soccer games and school events. Kyle is weaponizing that privilege that Mo afforded her.

That being said, and going back to season 1 rumors, sorry, not sorry, I believe Mau cheated.

The not Portia daughters did not seem particularly surprised by the news of the separation. Just sayin'

Pattycake2 · February 22

400k was just for Kevin’s fee. They must have paid the stadium a goodly amount even with a pr promo. I bet the party set them back closer to 700k. And I agree that Kyle had to have known and approved her name in gigantic letters.

Did y’all see Dorit’s face on the preview! Her skin was messed.

I loved it when Garcelle brought up talking to Denise about Erika's LV residency and Denise couldn't believe lipsyncers would get a residency. Lol.

Cheezwiz · February 22

The White Party was ridiculous - the giant stadium only served to emphasize how few were in attendance. Kyle's snarky digs at Lisa Vanderpump were not becoming at all. Of course she made sure it was her name only displayed in giant letters on the floor. I didn't care for Kyle's fringey number. The only white gown I liked was Ann Marie's. I had really been rooting for Denise Richards, but she sadly seems messed up on something this year.

The filmed scene in the living room was unnecessary, and rough to watch. I was about the same age as Portia (maybe a year or two older) when my parents announced they were splitting, so when she crumpled and started to cry, I definitely felt for her. I know there's a well-worn trope that "kids are resilient!", but when you've only known living together as a family unit, it really does feel like the rug is being pulled out from under you.

Eh good for Sutton for treating herself to really expensive earrings. Garcelle remains my favourite. Dorit continues to be ridiculous. Erika continues to have no soul.

I'm pretty anxious to see the reunion - it looks spicy! Looks like some of the gals might take Kyle to task over her behaviour. Also, more Kathy! What is that all about? I wonder if the Sutton collapse/hyperventilating incident they showed glimpses of was something of consequence or a big nothing burger tease? Ooh and more Crystal vs Ann-Marie drama! Go Crystal!

I wonder if "Super-nurse anesthetist 8.5" jumps in to assist with assessing Sutton's situation.

hoodooznoodooz · February 22

Kyle’s dress is so ugly.

hottesthw · February 22

Kyle walking into the stadium the day before her million dollar party, wearing her Celine jacket while prominently displaying her Birkin, all while crying about how her husband is never around because he’s always working, tells me all I need to know. It’s all bullshit. She must’ve been really been pissed that he got offered the dancing gig and not her (after all those years of splits), that she was determined to get the attention back on her somehow.

And now, today the ads start for his show and it’s all about, guess what? The show that she didn’t appear on last year but will appear on this year.

How fucked up are those kids that they go along with this nonsense all for ratings? Although I guess since they all work for Mo, there is no such thing as too much publicity.

My prediction is the finale of his show will be Kyle and Mo rekindling their love on some expensive vacation (where Mo is opening another office). And he surprises her with the latest and greatest limited edition Birkin bag.

Why is Kathy going to be at the reunion? Was she on this season?

UsernameFatigue · February 22

I am dating myself, but Kyle's dress reminded me of the dress on the Mary Tyler Moore show that the prostitute that Mary met in jail, designed for her. A tacky dress showing way too much skin. I did have to laugh though, after Kyle professed to be embarrassed by her name being in big letters, but not at all embarrassed at her choice of dress. OTOH, the tacky dress went with the tacky setting. The back yard would have looked so much more classy.

The only dress that I liked was Annemarie's. That may be the first nice thing I have said (or thought for that matter) about Annemarie this season. I still hope she is a one and done.

I think it should be rule that every episode next year includes a scene of Sutton jewelry shopping, preferably with her adorable daughter. I did like the earrings she bought, and that 9 million dollar blue diamond ring was stunning.

hoodooznoodooz · February 22

Camille’s husband resembles David Foster.

Mar · February 22

Erica says she has a chance to redeem herself because she’s “performing” at SoFi Stadium. Gosh, I thought you were going to say that you had a chance to redeem yourself by apologizing for your absolutely horrific behavior for the past several years concerning Tom’s victims. Apparently she needs a lot more therapy sessions to learn how to not make it all about herself as usual. Meanwhile, she and her friend are walking on the stadium’s turf in the highest of high heels, piercing holes everywhere they walk.

Cheyanne11 · February 22

Kyle mocking LVP was rude and uncalled for. But then the whole spectacle if the White Party was tacky as hell.

hoodooznoodooz · February 22

Annemarie’s husband told Kyle that they go to all the games at that stadium, and it has never looked this beautiful. High praise.

ZettaK · February 22

Erika is as talentless, and out of tune, as always.

The family conversation was taped in July (that was so uncomfortable..). Kyle said that they are working on their marriage (?) after that. Who knows. As for Morgan, Kyle said she has other friends she spends time with, but the media care to take and publish photos of her and Morgan only.

What made Kyle lose her trust? Cheating, or something else?

Not even Kevin Lee can turn a freakin football field into an inviting space. $400,000 for a party is just so wrong. This was a bad idea. Is Kyle thinking she’s Beyonce? Haven’t gotten to ice queen’s performance yet. Can’t wait (sarcasm)

hoodooznoodooz · February 22

It’s expensive to be Erika, and that’s why many victims will never receive their money.

funnygirl · February 22

Kyle is obsessed with LVP.

Whether or not the separation/divorce storyline is real, I am not buying that Kyle is an innocent victim in her marital problems. Especially not when she's been gallivanting with Morgan for over a year and tattooed her initial on Morgan's arm.

Marley · February 22

Pls I’m sure Kyle wanted her name on the dance floor. She’s trying so hard to act above it all cause her new little friend.

I don’t mind Sutton but she needs to stop with the whole struggling thing. Her husband gave her so much alimony she didn’t do it on her own. Not saying she doesn’t deserve success but she is acting too rags to riches.

I don’t get the point of having this white party at the stadium. It’s just stuck in the middle all randomly.

What does PK even do for work? Why is he gone for so long?

I thought Kyle and Mauricio announced their separation at the start of the season. Whoops lol. My theory is still Kyle finally got fed up with Mauricio’s shit and antics and the girls are almost all out of the house. He prob cheated a few times in the past and she got over it and they had some good times and she stayed for the kids. Then they just grew apart. What she said at the end basically confirmed it.

The reunion looks good.

I'm not surprised Kyle is horrible, but I am surprised that the editors let it be shown. She has been the darling of the show for a long time, now. She never gets the blame for all the shit she stirs. It will be interesting to see if the producers take off the kid gloves.

SemiCharmedLife · February 22

I agree that this year's White Party was not as good as those in the past. The venue was all wrong and nothing Kevin Lee did could change that. I did, however, enjoy all the footage from the party, including a peek at the guests, food, clothing, and ~~entertainment.~~ I could watch that for hours! I can't believe that Kyle's name -- and only Kyle's, was prominent on the dance floor! I don't buy her act about not approving that. And she can lay off the LVP bashing, while she's at it.

dancingdreamer · February 22

This was a strange finale.The Kyle show. LVP lives rent free in Kyles head. I thought Mau checked out of this marriage awhile ago, he's certainly having fun now , from various photos online.

The white party looked drab and lost. It was overshadowed by what was to come. I feel so sorry for their daughter's, its hard enough to deal with your parents separating or getting a divorce, but on tv, it seemed cruel to me.

Dorit, what exactly does PK/ Bubba do in the UK? Wth is she wearing for the reunion. Kathy is at the reunion, why ? More about Kyle.? I've had my fill about her life. Maybe Rob is right, Morgan let the magazine have a story. Who knows. Erika don't give up your day job, oops, you don't have one!

Lady of nod · February 22

This finale was as boring and unmemorable as the rest of the season .What exactly were the storylines? PK sends as much time away from Dorito as possible - can you blame him? Kyle has a girl crush on a mumbling country singer her daughter's age, and her perfect marriage fell apart - maybe. She and Erika are as nasty as ever. New girl is annoying. Still love Garcelle and Sutton though. Crystal. hmmm, oh yeah fights with new girl. Did I miss anything?

Was happy to hear Denise was coming back, but unfortunately she was a train wreck. Best thing about the season was no Rhinna.

Never thought I'd say it but I missed Kathy Hilton. At least she provided some comic relief.

The last scene was in such bad taste. Kyle and Mauricio having that conversation with their kids on camera was the height of fame whoredom.

Reunion looks like it might be better than anything that happened on the season. One can hope.
