Yet after treating each other like crap all season and carrying on at the reunion they do things like all going out to dinner.  That seems like it should not be real life either and yet here we are 🤷‍♀️  You couldn't pay me enough to be on one of these shows!

Seems the fans are more invested in the on-air relationships than the cast members. On one of her podcast episodes, Crystal pointed out that the women are very different when the cameras are on - friendlier and less intense off-camera. These people are just going to work - they’re paid to create dramatic interactions. When you consider that, all the hating from fans is pretty silly.

Thank you.

I can't get over how these fans act as if they're in charge of these HWs' lives and dynamics. 

These people can't possibly have real life friends.

There's just no way with how they speak toward strangers. If I found out my friends spoke to anyone this way (regardless whether the person deserved it), I wouldn't stay friends with them. 

Yikes on a bike. 😂

She has repeatability and its being ignored .. she has stated the issues and everyone keeps pretending like she hasnt

this season she has SAID Sutton talks and bitches to her but doesn't bring it to the group

she has said it TO Sutton and in a talking head multiple times THIS SEASON

Why does Garcille have to spoon feed these ladies .. hold there hand and talk to them like they are 5 to get them to hear her? she seems to be the ONLY one of these ladies that's being told NO you arnt doing that right .. all the other ladies can be as vague or talk around a subject and crickets .. Garcielle has to walk them through letter by letter thus proving her point  that she is being held to a different standard then the rest of the ladies ... She has to have bullet points and graphs and a step by step process they dont

Exactly! As Garcelle would tell the ladies over and over, I'm not here to teach you about racism, friendship loyalty, what's appropriate/ what's not... Garcelle should not be expected to teach the ladies how one should support a friend.

I would place a bet that it was discussed earlier that they were going to be upfront about Kyle and Dorit, etc but for whatever reason (Kyle finally acknowledged Sutton?) Sutton and Meg just backed off, and left Garcelle hanging. Even Erika was quiet and Kyle who (for sure) initially doubted Dorit's burglary story.

I would be the same as Garcelle watching these women move their lips and say absolutely nothing about what we all can see. They are all assholes.

I find it interesting how short our memories can be when it comes to some of these women and their past behaviors.  

You are absolutely right because I do not remember Kyle instigating the Denise fiasco. For whatever reason I thought it was Teddy, Rinna, and Brandy and then Kyle was present when Brandy said it on air..

However I enjoyed Denise on air and I just wish she had just responded with disinterest instead of taking the bait. I would have paid money to see Kyle and Lisa R's face if Denise just said, "So...? Do you have a specific question for me? What point are you trying to make by digging up events from my past?"

Or even a simple "If I don't care, why do you?"

Exactly, and part of taking the pattern into account for me is the fact I try not to jump to conclusions about people. I'm probably one of the few posters here who started out liking Erika, Dorit, Rinna, Brandi, most of them really. I don't watch these shows to "hate-watch." I've even liked Kyle some seasons, and I admit, she has qualities that made her a great anchor for the show. 

Say the only offensive thing Dorit ever said is calling Crystal a child bride. I'll be honest that I didn't immediately get how offensive it is. We can all be ignorant, but between that cringe race conversation seasons ago, all the micro aggressions against Garcelle, some of the stuff she's posted on social media, yeah, safe to say the "child of the world" is not as enlightened as she'd like for us to think. 

She's dialed it back again lately, but it's hard to forget her screaming at Eileen, threatening Sutton, using the c word. 

 

Lol but when Erika says the "C" word, everyone knows she's been triggered and is furious, whereas Dorit just drops the word for attention or for effect.

She'll just go back to not talking about it next year. God this show is so over. NOBODY CARES, KYLE! 

Lol I read this and the first sentence that came into my mind was Ken's, "GOODBYE KYLE".

Andy gave Garcelle more than one opportunity to share what was on her mind, and she refused - and then the drama queen exit. Whatever.

Was Kathy stoned lol?

I don't think she needed to explain anything to anyone. We all saw this season and we saw that no HW was owning what she said behind each other's backs

Sounds totally plausible to me.  I'm pretty sure Rinna will hold a grudge forever and a day.  She's still burning from getting fired, even though she says she quit.  Sure Jan.  I saw LVP talking with Andy (maybe WWHL, can't remember) and she said she KNEW Rinna was fired and was laughing it up.  Andy sat there, tight lipped, and giving nothing away, but he didn't deny it either.  I never believed Rinna quit.

I didn't either. There have been many stories saying Andy basically lets the exiting HWs spin it as they want. 

Pretty much the only way I'd watch another season of this show is if LVP returned. I don't see that happening.

Yep they were giving her the cold shoulder for the whole reunion.

Kyle was packing and Teddi was at her house.  Kim stopped by with that horrid hairdo (slicked back) and Brandi was in the car.  Kyle told Kim to ask Brandi up to the room.  That is where Kim/Brandi/Kyle got it on air.  I would bet my measly paycheck that Kim had told Kyle and Kyle had them over to get it on the air so they could bring it up and embarrass Denise.  Denise had already pissed Kyle off at her pizza party and Kyle's bbq.  FFF takedown.

Yep, and then later in the season, after Rinna decided to let it go and make up with Denise, Kyle pulled the same stunt a second time (Brandi's just circling the block near Buca di Beppo, should we invite her in?) so that Brandi would come in with the texts that "proved" she was telling the truth. Which set Rinna off to the point of essentially declaring war on Denise.
