S14.E8: A Perfect Storm Out

[ladle1]

Kyle: "I just want to say one thing and then I'm leaving."

Boz, in unconvincing, Willy Wonka-esque affect: "No...please...don't."

Bozoma hosts a healing spa day for the ladies that proves to be anything but serene; Garcelle receives a long overdue apology; Kyle is confronted with mounting suspicions.

First aired on 1/21/2025.

Kyle's hair looks super bad.  In the light, her color is terrible and the ends are bad. With all the money she spends on her face, she could spend a few hundred and have a proper color and cut done.  

I really like Boz.  She calls out Kyle's bs like a viewer!

Giving Porsha a Porsche. That is what every 16 year old needs.

"The common denominator is you [Dorit]"

Dorit- "Hey!" 😂

I like that Boz and Dorit are friends.  Dorit went to WWHL with her.  Kyle was never a good friend.  BUT!  Around the reunion, she said she and Dorit were never close.  NOW, she says she loves Dorit's family.  It's how she treats her sisters so that tracks.

Three words I’m tired of hearing on this show: texts, jokes, memes. 

I believe you are referring to "texas" and "mims"?

When they storm off it’s the tell .. Tamra from OC does the same thing .. you’ll never see my face again and runs away .. at this point it’s kinda funny it’s so redundant 

Right?! I half expected Kyle to run into a bush.

Last week Garcelle and Sutton were all buddy buddy with Kyle and now they are against her over a stupid text? I don’t get it. These women are not real friends. 

I think you answered your own question in the last sentence. :)

Why does Boz think it's suspicious Kyle told some of the other women, and not her (and Dorit) first about PK's texts? She was in the hospital for an operation. And Dorit was not present. Not all the women are together all the time. Dorit has a storyline to pursue which is all about Kyle. And it seems Boz, as well. 

Do the women (and Dorit) seriously think that PK would reveal/discuss anything personal to Kyle, especially after the separation? Do they think the viewers are so naive?

It seems Dorit is going to continue because she will ask Kyle to show loyalty to her per the previews, after Kyle told her she will stop communicating with PK. Bravo directs the women to beat storylines to death, specifically for a whole season, even beyond. 

It seems to me that Kyle regrets asking Mauricio for a separation. I doubt Mauricio would ever divorce her otherwise. 

I am sure she didn't expect him enjoy it so damn much!

Erika without makeup, on camera, for that many minutes.

By golly. Erika Jayne is average-looking.

And, maybe I am not objective, but it looks like Erika and Kyle have gained a little weight after discontinuing their Ozempic use.

 

Her makeup artists deserve a raise.  Very splotchy yet they make her skin look flawless.

[RealHousewife]

Other than the rosacea, Erika really does have very beautiful skin though. Makeup can only do so much. I don’t see any wrinkles, sagging, pores, etc. I think she has the prettiest skin of them all actually. Covering up some redness is not a big deal. 

[ladle1]

In the matter of Kyle v. Dorit, I guess I'm Team Dorit - though, I also loathe Dorit, so it's hard to get too worked up either way. 

That said, I want to say three things slightly in defense of Kyle. (I know! I KNOW!). 

1 - I think it's possible that Kyle and Dorit were saying two different things in their conversation. Kyle was saying "PK doesn't [present tense] talk to me about his relationship with you" and Dorit was saying that he has in the past - at least, back when Mau lived with Kyle (which was, like, at least a year ago by the time the conversation was taking place, I think?). And I actually think this is a fair distinction to make.

2 - The Texas is incredibly damning but... why share it?!? This is what I keep coming back to. Why would you share a text that makes it seem like you're chatting with your friend's ex about her? Especially after saying that you had only exchanged memes and jokes?? One possibility I guess is that Kyle really isn't chatting with PK about Dorit, so it didn't occur to her that the text would be taken that way. Another possibility is that Kyle is a fucking idiot. A third possibility is that she expected PK to leak the text and wanted to get in front of it. A fourth possibility is that she wants to maintain her spot on the show and is consciously creating drama. A potpourri of possibilities! 

3 - Her hair looked phenomenal at the spa day. Whatever illegal keratin process she's using these days, I want on board.

I think because Kyle said she didn't need to show her phone to anyone, then showed it to a select few to keep the storyline going.  Just another wrong move from Kyle.  And I agree she's ruing the day she asked for a separation - the fun season of pretending to be a lesbian has ended, and now Mauricio and Portia are off to Europe without her 😫

[Crazydoxielady]

What a trite tiresome episode. Boz plans a spectacular spa day and along comes Kyle in full victim mode spazzing out, screaming, and running off. I guess I never knew she was a producer until now, and I was looking for her name in the credits. If that is the case, the "Kyle special privilege" of it all makes sense. She is never called out on her shit until now and is absolutely flabbergasted anyone has the balls to do it. I wanted Dorit to let her run off crying, because we all know Kyle is incapable of imagining what she did was wrong and that she is in anyway culpable. I cannot STAND her face, her voice, or anything about her. She brings out the bitch in me big time. I did yoga and lifted a few weights to avoid the Porscha getting a Porche scene. Oh wow, more gifts thrown at kids that have done nothing to deserve them. Yay?

I thought both Erika and Dorit looked spectacular without makeup. Erika has a ruddy complexion like me (or rosacea) but otherwise she looked amazing. I thoroughly enjoy women stripping down and letting us see their real faces. I love all the makeup and hair too, but it's great to see the secureness of self to do that (ahem... Lisa Barlow take note).

Can we tie up Text Gate? Kyle's assumption everyone would buy into her nefarious ways hit a wall. She can't handle being held accountable. The end.

[pvandal]

My favorite:

Jennifer to masseuse: This is the calm before the storm. The quiet period before the shouting starts.

Masseuse: Aw, don't say that.

Later, the masseuse to other masseuse: That woman was right. She said it was gonna change in a minute.

I am Team NEITHER.  I am so sick of hearing about their feud.  It's Groundhog Day.  Every week, it's the same fighting between the 2 of them.  YAWN.  I question how much of it is elevated for the sake of a storyline - as if HW's aren't notorious for doing this.  It has been long rumored that Dorit was on the chopping block.

I'd much rather see more camera time with Garcelle, Sutton, Jen T, who make it light and fun. And they need to give Boz a better edited - not just portrayed her as Dorit's side kick.

Why is it now considered acceptable for a woman to say to a man,”We’re  in heat” and it’s considered funny? Imagine a woman getting ready to provide a service to a group of men, and one of the men says that.

It isn't and grosses me out

[Surrealist]

I'm about halfway through watching the episode, and Jennifer cracks me up. The way she laughed when Boz mentioned serenity, and then told her masseuse that there will be shouting. 😂

Although she's on the show because she's Sutton's friend, I feel as if she sort of functions as a Greek chorus type (and even Boz, at an extent) in the manner of Bethenny Frankel on RHONY.

[Mar]

What an incredibly annoying episode with incredibly annoying behavior from every woman, except………..Erika

Hell has frozen over

Haven't gotten to that scene yet, but not surprised. Most adults try not to cry over every little thing. Kyle is like the opposite. I think she believes tears = victim.

This reminds me of that episode a few years ago when the Tom Girardi situation broke and Erika was in the hot seat. She met Kyle outdoors somewhere for a talk, and had deliberately, I think, not worn waterproof mascara. The black was running down her cheeks as the tears flowed. She was trying to garner sympathy, and make people believe she was a victim.

Heh, agree.  But this is Beverly Hills and I'm sure it is not unusual for a teenager to be gifted a luxury car.   At least it was an SUV and not a fast little sportscar.

Kyle's spent years demanding honesty & truth from her castmates. Yet she refuses to share her own & somehow expects others to respect her privacy. Why cant Sutton talk about the supposed infidelity or Garcelle mention her relationship with Morgan? It's like she thinks there's a different set of rules applying to her. She's fucking exhausting and I LOVE that Boz sees her for who she is & is emboldening others to do the same. 

IMHO Kyle more than deserves this comeuppance, it's years overdue. (Oh, and it appears show insiders have a similar opinion)

I don't disagree but why this issue?  I find all their fuss over a dumbass text that Kyle herself volunteered boring as hell.  No one thinks Kyle is up to something with PK.  Dorit needs spend less time looking for something to fight with Kyle about a start talking to her children about why Dad and his stuff have disappeared from their home. 

[Feline Goddess]

Giving Portia a Porsche was a cute play on words. And remember, a car of that price point for a wealthy family is like a Chevy is to a middle-class one. None of their kids act like entitled brats, so I doubt this is going to impact Portia in a negative way. 

I think Dorit looks the best of the women without make-up. Erika has the best make-up artists in the group. 

No matter what Kyle is trying to convey, there's an appearance of impropriety  with her continuing to communicate with PK. I do believe she's taken the opportunity to gossip with him about Dorit. Something she wouldn't like if Dorit and Mauricio were having the same type of relationship. 

Jennifer is amused by the shenanigans of this friendship circle. Boz is not just listening to Dorit, she's witnessing things with her own eyes and forming an opinion. Garcelle & Sutton flip-flop but that could be because they're provided additional information - and there's nothing wrong with changing a stance based on that. 

 

[FlyingEgret]

Anyone get a good look at Kyle's phone when she re-shared the Texas? She said the previous text from PK was in April and the OMG text was when the separation was announced (May??); her insinuation that their interaction is rare was not proven as the range could be anywhere from a day to 8 weeks

Might as well go full Meghan King PI if we have to be subjected to this idiotic storyline...

Oh, that's an option? Oh yes, that! Definitely that.
