Season 5 Trailer

[Chrissytd]

I hope we get lots and lots of scenes at these houses. Bring on the house porn!

That's my favorite part about this franchise. Edited November 14, 2014 by Chrissytd

Not looking forward two: Not looking forward to Brandi's truth cannon "she sleeps around". I so hope this is her last season.

 

Amen. I was watching reruns on Bravo yesterday and I just don't understand why Brandi is part of this cast. I also can't wrap my head around why Lisa/Ken and Yolanda defend her constantly. I'm not a huge Kyle fan but I like Maricio (sp?) and he clearly disliked Brandi back then. Not that I blame him.

Adrienne was Brandi's first defender and Brandi threw her under the bus in order to ingratiate herself with Lisa, then she turned on Lisa when she felt comfortable in her position on the show and knew she had another rich friend Yolanda in her corner. As to why, I think that one of the main reasons that Brandi got her in their good graces is that she kissed their egotistical asses, then when she got herself into trouble, she was wily enough to take responsibility and express regret, but she throws in a sob story, twists things where she becomes the victim, and voila they feel protective of her.

I think that Brandi succeeds in getting people like Adrienne, Lisa and Yolanda on her side because their self-centeredness and ego trump everything else including principle. I think that it is particularly telling when it comes Brandi and Lisa's relationship, because Lisa defended Brandi in the Adrienne situation but then when Brandi turned on her, then Brandi's honesty becomes brutal honesty with emphasis on brutal.

You would think that Yolanda and Brandi would never become close given things that Yolanda expressed disdain for when she came on the show, namely drunk women and people who engage in "dramah," but those feelings got pushed aside, and Brandi got in Yolanda's good graces because she brought Yolanda Starbucks when he was on her sick bed.

I don't think the BH women are that much different than the OC women.  It's not like any of them are educated or truly accomplished.  They either married money or are has been actresses (I guess Ashley Abbott is the exception - although she is aging and soaps are a dying breed).

 

All the outrage at Brandi's crudeness doesn't mean that she is any worse than any of these other women.

 

The original slut pigs are the Richards sisters.  They learned at the feet of the master.  Tamra v. Kim and Kyle would be a fair fight.

 

Lisa used Brandi for her own purposes.  She's no better than Brandi. She is proudly intertwined with those disgustingly vapid, disease-ridden messes on Vanderpump Rules. She rolls in the mud with the worst of them - she just does it in pink. Her British accent doesn't clean up her scheming. She may not say f*ck as easily as Brandi, but she alludes to it just as much.  She is just much more coy and schooled in the art of being clever with her sexual innuendo.  "What? What? I was only asking if Portia was Mauricio's latest woman?"

 

Adrienne? Oh the claims of child abuse against Paul and the claims she had Bernie make of physical abuse? Her grotesque, rococo manse of horrors?  Brandi outing her surrogacy was horrible and indefensible.  But Adrienne trying to get her fired was bad in its own right. Adrienne is no angel.

 

Camille? Pernicious, Art of War poseur season 1, MTV dancer/escort/soft porn actress. Taylor the grifter?  And friend of Faye Freaking Resnick.  BH has as much trash floating around it as the OC does.  It's just financially solvent.  And for all their money, the majority of the BH HWs still need stylists.  Only Camille and maybe Yolanda know how to dress.

 

Let's face it, BH isn't exactly that much different than OC - it's just wealthier, maybe better plastic surgeons.  If anything, the men of BH have a hell of a lot more going on than the men of the OC.

[quinn]

Jinjer, I agree with a number of your points, people like to put the BH cast on a pedestal both individually and collectively but they have exhibited some of the trashiest, thirstiest, and most desperate behavior of all the franchises.

To me, in theory, I don't consider a BH cast member lesser merely because she is divorced and lives in Encino, but Brandi herself relishes being the underdog, the person who looks up to the Lisas and Yolandas, Brandi is the one who put out there that she was so dazzled by beautiful Lisa that she did Lisa's bidding even though she admits that Lisa never told her directly to go after other Housewives.

I believe that Lisa is sneaky, manipulative and is clever enough to complain and bad mouth other Housewives but stop short of saying, "Hey Brandi, next time the cameras are rolling I want to do/say this about X." But what I do not buy is Brandi being an UNWITTING pawn of Lisa or anyone else. Without any outside intervention, Brandi is mean, crafty, thirsty and ruthless, if she wants something or if she wants to go after someone, she does not have to be duped into committing vile acts, she is acting on her own accord to further her own agenda.

So what you are saying is that Brandi is an idiot? 

 

If yes, I co-sign.

[jinjer]

I think she's saying Brandi isn't an idiot or that she's an idiot on purpose!

[FozzyBear]

Yeah, BH is oddly retrograde about women. There's constant comments about single women being tragic because they don't have a man to defend them and most of the BH women are not well educated and have not had active carers for years. I think Brandi gets sympathy friendship until she pisses someone off and then she globs onto the next woman to feel sorry for her.

NYC I think has probably the most educated successful outside of the show cast. Maybe ATL too.

Funny thing about SoCal, despite its reputation it can be surprisingly conservative. BH and OC kind of reflect that.

So much truth here. Last season when Brandi was turning on Lisa I read over and over again about how Lisa had been the first person to ever defend or care about Brandi. This is simply not the truth. Regardless of how they actually met or Brandi was introduced on the show, Adrienne was certainly the first person to ever care about her. After that you had Camille. Hell, even Kyle was nice to Brandi before Lisa was. 

[motorcitymom65]

 

 

Adrienne? Oh the claims of child abuse against Paul and the claims she had Bernie make of physical abuse? Her grotesque, rococo manse of horrors?  Brandi outing her surrogacy was horrible and indefensible.  But Adrienne trying to get her fired was bad in its own right. Adrienne is no angel.

 

 

Adrienne is certainly no angel. I won't speak to her claims about Paul because they happened off the show and folks often say/do terrible things in the midst of a divorce. I will say that anything that she supposedly did to Brandi with regard to trying to get her fired was done well after the S2 reunion, when Brandi threw Adrienne under the bus to cozy up to Lisa. Prior to this, Adrienne had done nothing to Brandi. When Adrienne asked Brandi at the reunion why she had gone to Lisa and told her some of the things that Adrienne had said to Brandi in confidence, Brandi said she had done it because Adrienne had started ignoring her. She said that Adrienne hadn't returned her calls or her texts, that she hadn't invited her to hang out for quite a while. Adrienne pointed out that she had returned her calls, and that she had invited her to her Halloween Party. Brandi scoffed at this, saying she had been invited along with 200 other people, so it was hardly one friend calling up another friend to hang out. Brandi completely owned the fact that she threw Adrienne under the bus simply because she felt ignored. 

 

Lisa of course was fine with taking her ill-gotten gains in the form of dirt on Adrienne and didn't question Brandi's motives for one second. For the most part, no one questioned Brandi's motives. It was all fine and good for her to betray the first person to ever be nice to her on the show. I should say Lisa was fine with it until it happened to her, because that is exactly what Brandi did to Lisa in S4. She felt like Lisa and Ken had pulled away from her and for that reason, she decided to punish her exactly as she did Adrienne for the same offense.  While Brandi was lauded and almost given parades for what she did to Adrienne, she was hated for behaving in exactly the same manner to Lisa. The funny thing is that Lisa and Ken did pull away from Brandi, as Ken admitted in a a Juicy Giudice moment of clarity on the reunion stage last  year. It was funny because Lisa denied it about 3 times (vehemently), and then Ken comes out and just says "yep, we made the decision to distance ourselves because of some of the things she had going on". It was so great. I am assuming they were talking about Tampon-Gate. 

 

ETA: has anyone except a person by the name of Brandi Glanville ever confirmed that Adrienne tried to get her fired? If so, I am more than dubious. Brandi tends to take things that have an ounce of truth to them - some semblance of fact - and turn them into something else entirely. Remember, this is the girl who had a friend/lawyer who received a C&D from Paul and Adrienne and she turned it into a full-blow lawsuit against her. Only in Brandi's mind could this actually equate to a lawsuit, but she ran with it for almost an entire season and she had a lot of people believing her (lots of people didn't believe her because a lawsuit would have been public record and there was clearly no lawsuit ever filed by Adrienne against Brandi). I expect that Adrienne said something like "I wish they would fire you", or "they should have never hired you", or something like that and Brandi decided to tell the world that Adrienne tried to get her fired. This is pretty much Brandi's MO.

ITA that this happened, I think Brandi, sensed it/knew it, and went on the attack.  It's amazing how she lashes out so viciously. So primal. She's got Jim Marchese's scorched earth policy down pat.

Lisa was kind to Brandi before Kyle was. Lisa was the one to get Kyle to make nice with Brandi while Kim was still out for Brandi's blood! lol

This is pretty much Brandi's MO. 

Adrienne went after Brandi via Bernie and his twitter rants against Brandi, and to a lesser extent Lisa, were quite nasty/vicious. She used Bernie against both of them much like she used him against Paul later in their divorce/custody. Brandi was wrong to say whatever it was about Adrienne, I still do not believe the story/reason they gave, but Adrienne and Bernie were wrong to do what they did as well. I just don't think anyone quite realized how quickly and how volatile Brandi is when she feels slighted in the smallest way.  Also, I think the lawsuit was used as a threat, "C&D or I will sue you" and Brandi knew she would be hard pressed to keep her mouth shut for long and thought it would then go beyond threat level to it being filed and sought to embarrass Adrienne into doing nothing. It worked IMO because Adrienne backed off. Even Paul did not realize what Adrienne/Bernie did was not happy when he found out. I suspect that finding out was 1 of the last straws for him in their marriage issues. Both Adrienne and Brandi acted horrible to each other over nothing more than perceived slights and both dragged Lisa into their battle, Lisa wrongly thought that Brandi had more integrity than she did and Lisa/Ken had to learned the hard way.  

 

They all snipe at each other, no one is exempt or above it and that is what makes the show for the most part. Brandi though goes for the jugular when she feels it benefits her, she over played her hand last year though. 

[quinn]

Lisa was not kind to Brandi before Kyle, polite perhaps but not kind. After Game Night Lisa did her crap stirring best to get Kyle to engage with Brandi at Camille's charity event, she may not have been aiming for wig snatching but her intentions were not pure.

Taylor and Brandi met up after Game Night, Brandi told Taylor her sob story, undoubtedly between Taylor going on and on about her sob story. Taylor then went back to Kyle and talked about Brandi being very sensitive about her children and her parenting being challenged because it was an issue during their divorce from Eddie and she's threatened by Eddie's new life with LeAnn Rimes. The next big event was Adrienne's spa day, and between Kyle, Kim and Lisa, Kyle was the most open to talking to Brandi and trying to hash things out. Kyle and Kim got into it over Kyle's willingness to speak with Brandi, and somewhere in there Kyle admitted that their behavior on Game Night was not perfect, Lisa sided with Kim, but once Lisa knew that Kyle was going to talk with Brandi she tagged along. I did not particularly care for Kyle's attitude and behavior once she and Brandi started talking, but it was the beginning of Kyle opening up to Brandi and inviting Brandi to events like the seance and the White Party. In fact I think that it was at the Kyle's seance that Brandi and Bernie, yeah Bernie!!! commiserated over their issues with Lisa.

Bernie's rants against Brandi came after the surrogacy reveal. He took a couple of potshots at her after the reunion, but his energies were overwhelmingly focused on Lisa.

Hi everyone! Can we please take the extensive talk of past season events to the Past Seasons topic and leave this topic to the discussion of the S5 trailer? Thanks! 

[mbutterfly]

I need to do a few rewatches to get what's happening in the wine throwing scene. It seems that this will be the season of Brandi's demise. It is her turn at the sacrificial altar.

If sacrificing Brandi is this season's theme, then Bravo made a smart move. 

[lunastartron]

Just rewatched the trailer and definitely get a sense that Kim stirs some major shit with Lisa Rinna. Maybe with a "your husband hit on me" accusation, archived from the '80s? In any case, Kim is definitely the recipient of Lisa R.'s rage in that clip so I'm dying to see how it shakes out. Also, Brandi's beef with Eileen apparently stems from cheating allegations of more than a decade ago, so expect the full Brandi "I Hate Cheaters -- Except Kim" diatribe to replay itself. Seriously, could that woman (Brandi) be any less interesting at this point?

 

There are reports emerging on the usual celebrity gossip sites that Kim accuses Harry of cheating on Lisa. I got the sense that the allegation was centered in the present or at least in recent history. Lisa also is giving interviews vis-à-vis the trailer in which she asserts, "I'm usually a calm person unless you mess with my family."

Interesting how Kim was apparently on board with the idea that such intimations were horrific when Lisa V broached them regarding Kyle but is possibly going to adopt that tired old storyline as her own a year later.

[quinn]

Of course we have not seen the whole context but it looks like Kim brings it up in a mano a mano argument with Lisa R, as opposed to bringing it up during a civil encounter and then justifying bringing it up as the "elephant in the room" or helping out someone by being a "girl's girl."  We also see in the trailer Lisa R. discussing enabling an addict, so it looks over the course of the season, Kim and Lisa R. are not on good terms with each other.

Edited November 28, 2014 by quinn

[PhilMarlowe2]

The rumblings seem to be that Kim is upset that the women are questioning her sobriety and so she goes on the counter-attack by implying or saying that Harry has been unfaithful or is an absentee husband. It may be a kind of, "Well, if you want to go on suspicions and rumors, I have heard that Harry..."

Lisa R/Kim blow up happens on Oct. 22nd according to an article I read... Brandi/Kyle fight happened the first week of September...
