"Well if that's not white trash, I don't know what is."   Lisa Rinna FOREVER!  <3 <3

If loving Lisa Rinna is wrong, I don't wanna be right.

My goodness, I don’t care how many times they show the Foster home and grounds, I am always in awe of how gorgeous the house is and how awesome the views. The pool area with the ocean views. I die eve

So does Brandi think that she's allowed to pull this shit because Tamra got away with it once upon a time? 

 

Trash is a nice way of describing Brandi. 

 

How is that allowed? If I did that to a co-worker I'd probably be suspended at the very least. I find it so offensive that she's getting away with this sort of behavior.

Well........Ramona got away with throwing wine twice, a plastic wine glass/holder and a boat oar this past season on NY and not to forget Aviva throwing her "leg"!

Selfish confession: more so than it beginning to really mess up my life, one of the main reasons I stopped drinking was because it made me gain a ton of weight. How the hell does Brandi get tampon string drunk all the time and not get the booze bloat?

Does she eat? Probably not. And plastic surgery can suck any amount of bloat right outta there. I've also known people who counterbalanced the booze with cocaine so as not to get fat.

I've been a Brandi fan, because I have a similar personality. I really hate the pearl clutching the other ladies do at times. But, the bloom has been off the rose for a while. Tonight I'm freaking mortified. Like, I might be blushing from her totally random behavior. No. Wait. I AM blushing. I had to fast forward through some of her scenes, because of my second hand embarrassment. She needs help, away from my TV screen. It's not fun for me to watch.

On a really shallow note, someone mentioned that Lisa V.'s upper arms looked terrible last week, and they did. But, I noticed that most of the ladies upper arms looked all this week. Very mottled, beefy, and cellulite looking. Maybe they have a new lighting guy or something? Brandi is scrawny and Yolanda is crazy fit, there's no way their arms look like that. I think we would have noticed before. Guess the camera really does add 10 lbs.

And Porsha threw Kenya to the ground, was arrested for battery but was invited back for the following season.  Bravo has no soul.  Brandi is here to stay and Teresa will be back.

I know that many things on this show are producer driven, but I think the wine throwing was not and Eileen was shocked and mortified. 

 

I noticed that during each social event, a couple hours in, Brandi is slurring her words so bad she can hardly be understood. And everyone just sits by and watches it. Truly weird. The finger banging comment was gross. Loved Lisa R and Eileen talking smack about Brandi. 

 

On a shallow note, I loved the outfits that Yo, Kyle and Lisa R wore to Yo's party. What was up with Yo's chef wearing sunglasses indoors while cooking?

I have to confess that, in a veritable ocean of bewildering behavior on these programs, one of the more baffling aspects to me is that the women targeted with micro-assaults (invasions of personal space or instances of physical aggression that don't meet the definition of full-on violence) by Brandi and her counterparts in the other cities (say, Tamra Judge or Nene Leakes) haven't, well, knocked the shit out of one of the aforementioned cast members by now. Of course, there are arguments for grace, composure, and civility/couth, but I do believe if someone met and raised Brandi's wine throwing, she might not think it was so cute.

 

Ergo, why Lisa Rinna has won some permanent appreciation from me with "I'd be coming over that table" and "it would have ended with a call to the police." The commentary between her and Eileen on Brandi was really incisive and bitchy in an impressively stealth way. They managed to affect the pretense of concern and "I'm just so worried about the object of my smack talk" underhandedness with much more sincerity than some of their fellow thespian-cum-Housewives predecessors (hi, Heather Dubrow!), all while managing to slip in some really cutting lodestar adjectives: "creepy," "bizarre," "crazy." I guess it helps to be a (talented) actress.

 

Why is Yolanda feigning horror about Brandi's behavior when she slapped Ken last year?

 

Yolanda's "what do you say to that?" gawping over her bestie's misbehavior: uh, you say, "what the fuck is wrong with you?"

 

Bella certainly didn't look like she was grappling with "shame," but I did chuckle at, "mother is always right."

 

When Yo yet again kicked the horse that decomposed about four hundred years ago by doing her sadface about not receiving an invitation to Pump, why didn't Lisa V take the opportunity to deliver a lecture about "earning" friendship?

 

I don't know why I'm surprised by the inscrutable/indecipherable character of Brandi's gibberish, but her "it's a two-way street" protests to Lisa V make absolutely no sense. Lisa is not the one practically stalking her ex-friend, making exhortations about moving on, and generally acting panicky and clingy. She got her digs in and has made it clear she doesn't want to be friends again.

 

Eta: I love some of Babyface's older production work like Madonna's Bedtime Stories. "Take a Bow" is one of her most underrated tracks.

Well, Veevs's leg didn't come into contact with anyone, though Princess Carole did get away with grabbing Aviva's face. And Tamra graduated from wine tossing to doing the same to Shannon Beador. Perhaps Brandi's inspiration for the slap to Lisa V.

I think we have to understand that these shows albeit as real as they can be....they  can be totally producer driven..

 

Some moments might be real and unscripted...but come on....it is the Real Housewives....i'd say that 85% of the stories are producer driven/scripted....I do think they try to capture "some" realness....I do think they strive to capture scripted drama more....i've watched since the first episode of RHOC....you can clearly tell as the seasons progress

Oh I don't know.  Aviva became a vile bitch one too many times and got the boot.  Fingers crossed.

Aviva refused to go on any "away" trips without her husband, Brandi is more than will to go anywhere, do anything to/with anyone on camera for the producers. As long as Brandi is willing to bring it for and with the producers, they will keep her......UGHHHhhhhhhh.  I just wish the other women would refuse to film with her but as long as Yolanda and Kim play kissy face with her Bravo will keep her on.

So was there a lot of contrived fights.. or just a lot of tension?

 

That's the beauty of this night.  There were no fights.  Just the truth.  The unvarnished truth.  Delivered mostly via Lisa Rinna's overinflated lips.  But I looove her.  There were pretty houses and clothes, food and scenery.  And there was Brandi with a Bump-It, sitting in David Foster's lap.

Oh I don't know.  Aviva became a vile bitch one too many times and got the boot.  Fingers crossed.

It will be interesting to see how Andy treats Brandi on WWHL tonight.  He never had much patience for Aviva.  Also....Aviva went after his buddy, Carole, so that didn't help her cause. Nor did her dad.  Far as I can tell, Andy isn't close and personal with anyone in BH and Brandi's dad isn't George.

Brandi does remind me of Tamra in that way. It'll be interesting to see who goes first.

Maybe, but we all know that Brandi is Brandi regardless of whether there are producers directing the drama or not. If possible, Brandi may behave more terribly away from the show than she does on the show. She is a shitstorm no matter what.

I don't know where to begin! Random thoughts:

Loved Lisa Rs white trash comment about Brandi. Truer words have never been spoken. I felt so bad for Eileen. Brandi was lucky that Eileen didnt reach across the table and throttle her. I wish someone would have. Loved how at Yo's party, Brandi said "we were throwing money at her and we wanted her to do a scene fron Days" I was thinking, no, "we" was only your drunk, crazy ass.

Brandi giving Eileen a necklace as an apology and she couldn't even put it in a gift bag? Guess she stopped at a flea market on the way there.

I am loving Lisa R and Eileen. Their attitudes, talking heads, clothes, and especially how they feel about Brandi.

I am still not loving Yolanda. I can only imagine what she would have done and said if Lisa V had thrown the wine. But because it was Brandi, Yo tells her what a naughty girl she was. Please. And does she have to direct every photo shoot her daughters have? Back off stage mom. It was too funny when she told someone I forget who, at the dinner party, "We have lemon martinis, lemon champagne, etc." Felt like the shrimp scene from Forest Gump.

I hope Lisa V. never gets close to Brandi again. Never. Ever.

How tacky of Yo to bring up Lisa not inviting her to the Pump opening during her toast. Yet again. And they talk about Lisa holding grudges.

We have three babies leaving for college story lines to look forward to. Shoot me now.

Clearly, the song was a setup for Kim and Brandi as none of the other ladies threw in lyrics, but I believe Brandi chose the words all on her own.  It would not have been so bad if these people had the proper reaction, but it just leaves me annoyed when she continues to be an ass and no one checks her on it...well except Joyce.

 

Whats the next level?  Brandi performing sex acts on people for attention?  I guess they want me to stop watching.

WWHL:  Brandi basically offered her eggs to Jeff Lewis (and Gage) and Jeff says that Andy told him that "they'd be scrambled eggs."  Brandi actually seemed pissed hahahaha.  Later, Andy dares Brandi to run her fingers through Jeff's hair and Jeff asks if he can get an STD from that.  Again, Brandi actually seemed pissed and took a big gulp of wine after.

 

Brandi refused to apologize for throwing wine at Eileen, saying that she already had and wasn't doing it again.  Then she said she was sorry for wasting wine.  She is vile.

Apparently the rules don't apply when it's Yolanda's friends. I still remember Yo chastising Kyle, "Zer eez nozing wurst zan drunk wemenz!"

 

Yes, I can make fun of her accent because she finds it okay to scold immigrants who she knows nothing about.  I don't like Brandi because she is an idiot. Yolanda is just a hypocritical snob.

I wonder if King David threw those pants away afterward.  After Yo's hair, there's no more bleach in the house for sterilizing them...

 

Was anyone convinced when Yo claimed she was used to doing all the work setting up her parties?

 

I'm in the camp of people who think the drink-toss was producer-driven.

 

YMwillalmostcertainlyV on this, but here goes.  I know a lot of stuff gets edited out, but Eileen used the term "superfan" several times to describe Brandi.  I never got the vibe that Brandi was a superfan of Eileen's soaps.  It made me wonder... Once you're a big celebrity, do you start buying your own hype and believe that every crazy person who likes you for your work is a superfan?  That may just be the storyline everyone agreed to in advance, however.
