Side note, I spent a year in Seattle (Federal Way up the hill from Redondo) about 30 years ago. I will be flying into Seattle a few days ahead of our Alaska Cruise, I want to show my husband around...I doubt I'll recognize most of the city, sigh. I will be stopping by Mee Sum Pastry for a bao, for sure. The one food I will never eat is Seattle's own, Gooey Duck, that think is hideous to look at.

Ivar's (seafood) is another Seattle icon and it's located right on the waterfront near the cruise ships.

I agree! She even looks lovely wearing no cosmetics.

I do, however, wish Dorit would ask her doctors to adjust her breast implants, which do NOT look natural. They look like the doctors bolted them on. They were too big for her, even when she was heavier. And they look terribly uncomfortable.

Implants can look good, but when it's a very thin woman with very little natural breast tissue to begin with, I agree that the large implants look ridiculous.

Some of the Kemsley debt is from cosmetic treatments/procedures.

As much as Dorit has always come across as more harmless than a lot of the BH bunch, I don't care for the fact she knows her husband owes a ton of money and still spends like crazy. I probably cut these women more slack than the average viewer for stuff like Botox because I can understood they're under tremendous pressure to stay looking good for their jobs. But there is zero reason to go splurge on all the designer everything Dorit does. Camille was right on that issue imo. Dorit was also chased around for allegedly owing money herself for Beverly Beach.

But they travel and surely they eat in restaurants, right? What better way to get to know a different culture than thru the food of that culture.  Maybe if Sutton said spinach pie they would have understood?

That's why I mentioned Milos restaurant in New York. It's upscale Greek with restaurants in New York, Las Vegas, Miami in the U.S. There is the Avra restaurant group with restaurants in Los Angeles, where all the celebrities go, Miami, etc. Spanakopita is considered fast food though, and they don't offer it. But, they go to other restaurants everywhere, don't they? Kyle, until she stopped drinking was ordering only margaritas (even in Italy), as if she didn't want to try anything else.

You are very compassionate. Thank you. 

The love of my life died unexpectedly when I was 28 years old. It shook me to the core.  
I made so many bad decisions after that. My brain was checked out. But I desperately sought love. So I ignored red flags slapping me in the face.

I feel for Boz.

I'm so sorry for your loss too. ❤️🫂

I am not an ocean cruise person per se and usually do the Viking River Cruises but did one of their ocean cruises, sublime is the way I describe those cruises. Alaska is the only place my husband said he wanted to go, it is for his retirement so after dragging his tush all over Europe I figured I'd take him where he wants to go, lol.   

I would however book the Housewives on the Waves cruise just to see who throws who overboard!

Money and marriage. Ai yi yi. Dorit seems to spend so much money, that they don’t actually have, on glam, insane hair and wardrobe. Even if she’s only Renting the Runway, that’s not cheap, and it adds up.

 

[hoodooznoodooz]

Dorit’s face looked extraordinarily different, even only nine years ago.

I am surprised Dorit didn’t fall in love with someone more classically attractive.

I have never seen someone else’s possessions shock Kathy. “Are those puka shells or pearls?”

[hoodooznoodooz]

Actually finally watching the scene with Boz and Keely. His body language is EXCEEDINGLY transparent.

Oh, Boz. Come on.
 

She’s like my sister, brilliant in her field; blinders on, with regard to men.

[hoodooznoodooz]

Believe it or not, I actually do think that Boz wants to have another baby. But has she googled nothing? 

She could easily purchase ova and carry the baby herself. 
 

I was 46 years old, when I gave birth to my one and only son. Donor DNA on both ends. Easiest pregnancy ever. No nausea. But ankles swelled up, and I learned that I am allergic to morphine. The C-section was a breeze to recover from.

 

I had surgery for fibroids, too. 
 

I am tired often, but mostly because I suffer from insomnia.

I think she saved a few bucks this week on eyelashes.  They looked totally like drugstore eyelashes that she doubled up and put on herself.  IF she had a glam squad do that, I'm guessing it's because her check bounced.

Does Reba watch this show? Is that how she has seen Weird Jax? I can’t imagine her caring enough about Sutton to watch her show.

That's probably true. I've heard PK described as being nice IRL in multiple podcasts.

Erika’s makeup is not as flawless these days.

And is it just me? In my opinion, both Kyle and Erika have gained back a few Ozempic pounds. They still look terrific, however.

[hoodooznoodooz]

Dorit makes the oddest arm movements, when she is explaining herself. Almost as odd as Dorinda did on RHoNY.

[hoodooznoodooz]

Erika looks like an idiot in that leopard-print interview look.

I think her latest sugar daddy has less sugar.

[hoodooznoodooz]

Erika was not correct.

Quote:

No, in California, a divorce settlement is not for the rest of a spouse's life until retirement. There is no automatic adjustment to spousal support after 10 years of marriage. 

Explanation

California courts consider marriages of at least 10 years to be long duration. 

Judges may revisit alimony rulings indefinitely for long duration marriages. 

Alimony payments may be indefinite or have no fixed end date for marriages that last longer than 10 years. 

A person who reaches retirement age can petition the court to reduce or end support payments.

Reba told Kyle she was so pretty. Not a word to Garcelle.

Kyle is obsessed with Sutton’s mother. It‘d be interesting to see how Kyle would feel about her, once Reba knew that she was Jewish.

How do you know these things?  I think Kyle is prettier than Garcelle too.

[bravofan27]

I've always, since Season 1 when Kyle looked a lot different, as incredibly beautiful. I'm sure she is very pretty in person. It's interesting that Reba told Sutton that when she grew up, no one told her she was pretty, no one complimented her-- as an excuse to why she doesn't dole out the praise. But then, the first thing she said to Kyle was that she was pretty. Pretty shitty Reba!

Garcelle has very pretty skin.

I'm not sure if Garcelle really likes Sutton that much. Her interest in Sutton and her relationship with her mom seems over the top to me. I think Garcelle was really really uncomfortable in Augusta. I did feel bad for her, being in a plantation style home in an old southern town. 

PK's neck and throat make him look old. He has an old man neck with the hanging sagging turkey neck. He could have that taken care of so easily too, and for less than one of Dorit's outfits.

Heather Dubrow has said that when she was single, she was looking for a Jewish doctor. Enter Terry (who is not the best looking man ever). Maybe Dorit had similar criteria "Jewish and wealthy."

But Reba has warmed up to Garcelle, because she realizes that Garcelle is actually intelligent.

Reba treats Avi very poorly and can barely disguise her disdain for him.

Ronnie and Ben also believe that Reba is racist and homophobic.

Tbh I was also surprised that the pretty compliment was given to Kyle. Not that Kyle isn't pretty, she and the whole cast are pretty ladies. But Garcelle is drop dead gorgeous and looks like a supermodel. She's probably the most naturally and strikingly beautiful woman who's ever been on the show.

I definitely think everything considered, I can totally see why Ronnie and Ben have that impression. I wondered why Reba was so weird toward Garcelle too, especially when Garcelle is the one who's been a better and closer friend to her daughter and made more of an effort with Reba too. Who knows though. Reba might be an equal opportunity offender. lol They also wondered if perhaps Reba favored Kyle BECAUSE she hasn't always been nice to Sutton.

It could be the editing, as well. We don't see everything that is filmed. It seems that Reba warmed up to Garcelle soon after. Sutton treats Avi poorly too. 

[Baltimore Betty]

Why wouldn't Sutton bring her friend Jennifer Tilly to Augusta? She is very likable so I would have liked Reba's interaction with Jenn T.

Narcissists always need an enemy, maybe for Reba it is Avi, the okra scene was a masterpiece, he reaches into the jar with his fingers, maintaining eye contact with Reba and just eats it, stares at her as he leaves the room. Mic drop moment for Avi.

Sutton must know she isn't going to be able change her mother's personality at this point in her life, forcing an "I love you," out of that sour puss isn't going to make up for the years of hurt. 

Funny enough my grandmother on my father's side was a sour puss, not a warm fuzzy person. She had her own shit going on from her father (who in 1923ish was not going to her wedding because she bobbed her hair and he did not feel her fiance/my grandfather was religious enough, her father wasn't warm and fuzzy toward her, the cycle began...that grandmother's name was Reba! 

[hoodooznoodooz]

So, it is the flipping name.

I think Reba views Avi as "the help", someone to be bossed around and told what to do, not to have a conversation with. jmo

Creepy that narcissists get themselves into jobs that give them an endless stream of “narcissistic supply” - they become teachers, preachers, coaches, therapists, etc. happily fucking with the heads and hearts of their underlings/patients.

Could you tell me approximately when this occurs? I want to rewatch, and take this in and savor it. Is it after she complains about how he just needs to reheat the grits?

Thank you very much!

I happens right before Sutton tells her mother about her capsule collection, it is not as dramatic as I thought it was but Avi was holding knives while he ate his okra.

Speaking of capsule collection, sounds like something Rinna would have done but with real capsules, you know her baggie full of pills is her capsule collection.

 As others have noticed, Sutton treats Avi like crap too.  And I don't really care what "Ronnie and Ben" think 😄. I think it's pretty slim evidence.  She may be a grumpy curmudgeon, but she's doing her bad-mouthing daughter a favor, appearing on her show and giving her a storyline.

I don't think Garcelle has the supermodel looks she had in her youth - I know she's a fan favorite here but I don't really like her and always think her face looks fat and punchable 😄. And I think Sutton considers Kyle a good friend regardless of the carrying on we've seen them do on the show.  Who knows what she told her mom about the two of them!  I do think Reba's probably an "equal opportunity offender" though! 😂

lol you're no WWC fan then? I love Ronnie and Ben! Half the fun of all the Bravo shows for me are listening to WWC and then reading everyone's posts on here. I wondered what was up with Reba, but going by a few episodes of TV, it is too difficult for me to tell whether she has any prejudice or is an equal opportunity offender. I do like that she warmed up to Garcelle and even came around a bit with her daughter. 

We agree on Bravo stars so often, but one of the exceptions is Garcelle. Maybe it's because Garcelle began the show during the whole "Fox Force 5" era, so she just always came across as more decent than a lot the bunch. I have admired her beauty for decades though. I think I first saw her as a kid watching Fresh Prince and couldn't believe how pretty she was. 

I don't know if it's an editing thing or what. Kyle has said she has more of a friendship with Sutton than is shown on RHOBH, but Kyle just doesn't seem to have many kind words for Sutton or take up for her. She even sided with the dreadful Diana over Sutton. I get there are times Sutton can seem cold (like her reaction to Dorit being held at gunpoint), but I think like Garcelle she's always come across as a more decent person than the likes of Rinna and Erika.

Omg I wasn't sure if Avi was trying to be shady or serious!
