S05.E11: It's Just A Scratch

[WireWrap]

I won't rule out things being filmed out of sequence, but if the call took place prior to the Poker Night, as far as Kyle knows Kim is sober, and if Kim has fallen off the wagon prior to Poker Night and Kyle knows it, then I have a problem with Kyle's misleading comments about Kim sobriety. Also my inference, perhaps erroneous, is that they weren't filming because Brandi seems to be implying that Kyle's concern is "for show" or a storyline.

Again I think that Brandi is lying, exaggerating and/or distorting what happened.

I was agreeing with you except for the "sober" part. Kim has not been sober, IMO, since she left rehab, she is just not drinking any alcohol. She is popping pills IMO, and has been all along and I think Kyle suspects it but this may be the first time she has witnessed her high in a while. I don't think Kyle has pulled away from Kim as much as Kim has pulled away from Kyle because she is getting high more and more frequently. I also believe that Brandi knows it is Kim not wanting Kyle around but is hell bent on making Kyle look like the bad guy, not Kim for her own personal reasons, she is intent on punishing Kyle for making up with Lisa.

Good lord. This clip is unbelievable. The only sane one is Eileen. ("Shut up, Brandi. How about a little neosporin.")

[cooksdelight]

Yeah, just tell Brandi to use the Neosporin on her lips and swap it out with Crazy Glue.

[Satchels of gold]

Do you mean "kadooz?" (TM Ramona). Or is there a new one I missed?

I noticed that, too. Kim does not have a lot going on, save for running around scoring drugs, so Brandi had to make things up. More enabling.

Yep that's the second one today, I am also the one that called Kim and Brandi beasties instead of besties. It must be all the oxi.......I kid...I kid!

I love that Elieen can say anything she wants to Brandi and nary a shut the fuck up in sight. How does she do it?? I guess thatBrandi is too drunk to even process what's she saying helps.

 

 

Jumping on the Eileen love train.

Brandi is sluring her words "I willllllll kill her" (like she is so bad ass)

And Eileen looks over with disgust and simple says "Shut Up"

 FAB. 

 

 

Not to mention that when Eileen pretty much told Brandi to shut the hell up, Brandi actually shut up.  Eileen just shut her down. She is a boss!

 

I don't know if Brandi knows how to react to someone who is so non-reactive and phlegmatic in her responses. She is so deadpan, monotone and almost emotionless in her statements that I don't think it even registers on Brandi that Eileen is dissing or criticizing her. I think she is almost perplexed on how to respond.

Because I was curious, I did some digging. Brandi's comment about Kim being overwhelmed because she was planning a wedding made me wonder, since the wedding would have already taken place. It turns out that Brooke got married on Aug. 2nd, and Lisa was in Cabo on August 25 (when this episode was filmed), so the wedding did take place prior to the poker deal. I will assume that means that they used a TH about Kim and her issues from a different incident? Maybe one that we didn't see? It is strange. 

 

ETA: I meant to reply to a different comment, Lotus. The one about the timing of the events. I am already down one Cosmo on this Friday and I think it is kicking in.  

I think the wedding we saw was a small family wedding to ensure that Monty could walk Brooke down the aisle.  They said they were going to do a big, fancy affair with friends, so maybe that's what Kim is supposedly planning and stressing about?  I know it's just a BS addict excuse, but there may have been actual plans being made. I don't think they would have made up an excuse out of thin air that would be so easy to disprove.

That's Kim's stock in trade.

[Satchels of gold]

Another funny moment in the drunk tank van was when Kim was asking Brandi what she said that didn't make any sense and Brandi responds " you were like woah and then deet deer deet" and Kim says oh ok. Like that made any kind of sense or explained anything. Drunken twin language I guess.

I think you're right.  It made me mad that Brandi was spouting off about how Kyle hasn't been there for Kim the past 6 months.  Brandi has no idea what Kyle and her family have been through the past 25+ years in dealing with Kim and her issues, so for her to step in and announce that only she cares about Kim is just bullshit, IMO.  I'm sure many of us have been through similar situations with family members, whether it be some kind of addiction, mental illness, or some other ongoing problem, and for somebody like Brandi to make assumptions about what family members did or did not do does a great disservice to said family members.  Brandi is only seeing a small segment of Kim's life and has no idea about the ups and downs that Kyle and her family have lived through for years and years.  What nerve!

I thought it was funny that Brandi said last six months because Brandi was off filming Celebrity Apprentice for a significant chunk of that time. 

 

Are we witnessing a temper tantrum courtesy of Brandi and Kim because they weren't invited to cruise on Champagne O'clock, go to Arizona or Lake Tahoe for Fourth of July? I think Brandi and to a lesser extent Kim are all about the camera time and any time they are left off a list they get a little testy.  It is bad enough producers starting letting Kim and Brandi come up with their idea of fun nights together. The riveting  two stalking activities starring Brandi's boyfriend and her ex-husband.

 

In addition to saying Brandi is the only who cares about Kim, it doesn't bode well that Kim's only friend is Brandi.  It pretty much insults Kim's two adult and independent daughters and Kim's other sister Kathy who seemed to pretty much knock a wedding out for Kim's daughter in a heartbeat.

I believe they were going to have a destination wedding on a beach in February and that is why Brooke wanted something beach themed.  They were worried Monty wouldn't be able to travel.  I doubt Kim was instrumental in planning much of anything Brooke didn't even have an engagement party.

Yes, the idea that Kim's daughter would be leaving it up to Kim to plan the wedding is laughable--or would be if it wasn't so sad. Kim can barely get to anyplace on time. She's not going to be going to appointments with wedding planners and decorators and bands etc. Brandi was exaggerating the way I think Kim always does, so anything going on near her can be used to make her sound important or to give her an excuse. She'll do some little thing for the wedding she can handle. She's not going crazy trying to plan it while also overseeing Monty's chemo etc.

 

Re: LisaR and Kyle, they have known each other for a long time, so it's possible they have had conversations about this a lot and Lisa was just saying things they would normally say to each other. Kyle was maybe reacting differently because it was so fresh for her and because of the cameras.

[breezy424]

Yikes, wow...  I'm still digesting this.  This was painful and disturbing on so many levels.  Kim is pitiful and Brandi is....I can't find the word.  Desperate?  She's fighting with a woman trying to talk to her sister?  She's so drunk and desperate that she's seeing herself as the protector?  The hero?  WTF was that?

 

I'm not going to judge Kim and assume that she's been pill popping since rehab.  I'm not going to judge Monty either.  I just don't have enough information.  All I know is Kim has a problem.  A big problem.  However, I think Brandi has an even bigger problem.  

 

Eileen won the episode (so far at least) with the shut up, the neosporin comment, and the drama queen comment.  Vince wins runner up for looking through the garage door.

 

Oh, and Brandi's comments about Kyle not being there and what she said to Brandi at  two in the morning...  Brandi's besties with Kim for a couple of months (no way six months since Zoeysmom pointed out she was in NY doing CA), she thinks she's the expert on Kim and knows her so well.  That was laughable.  She hasn't a clue.  I don't think Kyle and Kim have been super close  over the years but I have no doubt that Kyle has gotten many a phone call from Kim about her 'pressure' among other things.  Don't flatter yourself Brandi with this nonsense that you're this savior.

I agree with everything you said Breezy and that goes double for the quotes highlighted above.

The only thing I was a wee bit upset about was Kyle crying. I was yelling at my TV set for Kyle to stop crying and stand up to Brandy like she did game night. WTF is up with Brandy trying to come between sisters. Maybe she feels that Kim is like her in a lot of ways and sees herself as the hero in this friendship to save Kim from her sister. It is obvious to me that Kim has told Brandy things about Kyle otherwise Brandy would not of dared to go there with Kyle. Kim will rue the day she confided in Brandy about anything.

[Mozelle]

I can't sleep so I guess this is as good a time as any to watch the First Look. All I can say is that if Brandi is to be believed about Kyle saying (in the middle of the night) that Kim's drama is not her problem, isn't that a good thing? For how many years has it been suggested that Kyle needs to just let Kim do her thing, extricate herself from the ridiculousness that is Kim? We get a glimpse (though, again, the source is Brandi so insert a boulder of salt) and some want to be all, Oh well of course Kyle doesn't care about Kim. It's comical really.

What wasn't comical was Brandi inserting herself into the conversation with Kim and Kyle and then taking hold of Kyle's wrists. In what universe does she think she's justified or that she'll get a ton of backing? *eye roll*

Lastly, I'd hesitate to believe that folks seeing Kyle's side this season is something new. Back from the first season there were plenty of folks who, when the discussion turned to Kyle's and Kim's dysfunctional relationship (especially as it pertained to Kim's addiction issues), didn't give Kim a pass and were wholeheartedly on Kyle's side. This really isn't new territory.

Welcome to the dark side gritty!

[slade3]

I thought there was a flirtatious vibe as well - maybe that's why Eileen seats herself right next to him.  I also feel sorry for Eileen, because Vince knows this is the woman who threw the wine in Eileen's face, and he was somewhat dismissive when she brought it up on camera.  I can't stand Ken, but I respect how faithful he is to Lisa.  No way he would invite Brandi into his house and flirt with her if she'd done that to Lisa.

I agree with you about Ken. I used to be okay with him because I liked the way he treated Lisa V. I've stopped liking him a bit after someone posted about meeting him with Giggy, commenting that the dog's clothes were nicer than his/hers and Ken saying "That's because he has more money than you!" But I still respect his relationship with Lisa. If Lisa had not been okay with Brandi hanging all over him in the past, I believe Ken would have dismissed Brandi and asked her not to touch him.

 

Sadly, I've rewatched the poker scene a couple of times (because I was showing it to my husband, and then my mom, honestly), and each time I noticed Vince looking at Brandi. When he hands her the award. he touches her midsection to help her move closer to the table to make her speech. Unnecessary touching right there and it bugged me. Yes, a man can ogle another woman, even flirt with her, but out of respect for his wife, who is sitting next to him, he should try not to. Especially when she is a skank like Brandi who has thrown a glass of wine in his wife's face.

I wish Brandi had said something to Eileen. I imagine the epic eyeroll from Eileen in response. I believe she was just not going to engage with Brandi, no matter what. I think Eileen and Lisa R have Brandi's number.

[cooksdelight]

I have often wondered if Eileen and Lisa R were hired and told by production to side with everyone against Brandi. Which, in the scope of things, isn't that hard to do. It might be their way of making the show fun again and getting rid of Brandi at the same time. Saving face for Bravo.

I have two theories about Eileen and Brandi. Eileen was polite to Brandi's face but she snarked about Brandi in her talking heads, and while it can't be ruled out that those talking heads were filmed after the wine toss, it seems like Eileen was biased against Brandi from the giddyup, not as bad as Carlton and Kyle or Yolanda and Taylor, but still there was something. My first theory is that it's simply a case of Brandi's reputation preceding her. On and off RHoBH, Brandi has done numerous crazy and distasteful things that have been reported in the press and as part of Eileen "researching" her new job, she read / refreshed herself on Brandi's antics and came in with a certain view of her (understandable IMO), but again Eileen treated Brandi politely. And of course after the wine toss and then seeing Brandi proceed to get drunk and inappropriate at the next gathering, of course Eileen having an unfavorable view of Brandi after that point is totally reasonable and justified.

My second theory is relates to six degrees of separation. It's pretty much the same as the first in that Brandi's reputation preceded her, but not through the Real Housewives connection, rather through the soap opera connection. Eileen and Eddie Cibrian were both on The Young and the Restless, and Eileen was on Days Of Our Lives and Eddie's ex-girlfriend with whom he cheated on with Brandi, was on DOOL. I have not cross-checked the dates so I don't know if Eileen and Eddie were on Y & R at the same time, but even if they weren't I can see Eddie still being talked/gossiped about after he left. Also Eddie remained good friends with one of the lead actors on Y & R.

Lisa R went on Brandi's podcast, so I don't know about her.

I think both of these are true with Eileen.  I think she heard about Brandi first hand, and then watched the show and formed her own opinion.  Who wouldn't?  If you watched last season, who would you be most wary of?  And frankly, Eileen is cool toward most of them.  She isn't hanging on anyone.  But no one is being obnoxious toward her like Brandi is.  So Brandi is receiving the snark.  If anyone else were to be snarky toward Eileen, I kind of think she would give them the same snarky responses.  She seems like she isn't going to let anyone mess with her.

I would co-sign this, and take it a step further. I think this was also the case with Brandi when she first came on. When she was first hired the pictures were floated in the press of her cuddling with Cedric. That was the story, that they were friends. I also think that it is true that the gals had probably heard other things about Brandi. She was well known to folks who paid attention (and I am sure they looked into this when she was hired) as being foul mouthed and very expressive about her feelings about Eddie and Leanne.  I think she was just not liked from the very first minute by them all to some extent (some more than others). When she walked into that party in her fuck-me pumps limping around on crutches, the reaction from the others kind of reminded me of a reaction my and my friends might have had at work in the same situation. Not very nice of us to be sure, but if the boss was bringing someone we had heard negative things about, who then proceeded to be dressed in a somewhat ridiculous fashion given her circumstances, we would mock her (I don't claim to always be nice). No cameras to see it for sure, but we would have. I think this is where it all started. Lisa was smart enough to keep herself off camera with Brandi so we didn't see it, but had she been around for events like Game Night, I think we would have.

I totally agree mwell345. I think Brandi AND Kim are seriously looking for a way to get some camera time and this is the bullshit they come up with.
I read Kim's blog on BravoTV and boy howdy; she sure was back pedalling to beat the band. Said something like "I was in pain. I had bronchitis, blah, blah.. and MONTY GAVE ME A PAIN PILL".... Stoopid dumbass.
Kim & Brandi might need to both change shows and go on an "Intervention" episode or four.

Agree that Brandi and Kim needs to go.

As far as Camille and Adrienne, eh not for me.

CG was terrible her first season and when viewers called her on her snooty snobbery, she went to PR rehab and almost never opened her mouth and was boring as hell.

AM might be a very nice woman but I don't think she has a great personality. Very boring.

I love LisaR and Eileen because they make laugh.

[zoeysmom]

Eddie worked on four episodes on The Young and the Restless, in June of 1995.  Eileen was also working on the show back then.   Don't know when Brandi and Eddie hooked up but my guess would be this role would not have caused much of a ripple in the life of Eileen Davidson.  That is not to say Brandi would not have formulated something in her mind.

 

I think what we saw with Brandi, be it her people or production, is Brandi is easily suggestible to do something outrageous to maintain her spot on the show or stay the center of attention.   That is not to say that production doesn't suggest similar things to the others-I just don't think they are as willing or desperate.  Someone as ingrained in Brandi the cast being all actresses is undesirable to viewers.  And by someone it could be someone she tweets with, the check out person at the local Ralph's or even her gaygent.  I am quite certain production loves it because actresses are a lot less work.

 

Brandi and Kim had decided long before filming began they were going to be the center of attention poker night.

[cooksdelight]

I'd rather they bring back Joyce and Mr. Joyce and exit stage right for Brandi and Kim. Or have Kim on in limited amounts. Let's keep the new couples, as they certainly are more interesting to watch.

I thought the Powers That Be were fools for waving Joyce and Mr. Joyce aside after only one season. A legit, Oscar-nominee movie producer - wtf were they thinking letting that kind of cred slip through their greedy fingers? And I know that Joyce wasn't to everybody's taste, but I loved her sparkle pony, friendship is magic! ways.

Also, before Eileen, Joyce had the best burn ever on Brandy with, "I thought you had an alcohol problem. You don't need rehab. You're just tacky!"

[Trooper York]

I agree. Joyce and Mr. Joyce would be a great addition. The problem is that she gets along with Lisa and Kyle. They don't want that. They want conflict. How could they have LisaR, Eileen and Joyce all getting along with both Lisa and Kyle. 

 

Satan Andy don't play that.

[cooksdelight]

I noticed something odd with that cigar case Kim was waving around. It's for a big cigar. She was smoking a small, thin cigarello (Black & Mild brand comes to mind) and there was a pair of scissors with orange handles lying there. I missed it if she used those scissors to cut the end off, but with a small cigar like that, you don't need to do that. Glad she didn't start waving the scissors.

That was very odd.  I'm tall like Brandi, and I'm always cognizant of my stature when dealing with petite little women.  I could never imagine getting in one of their faces, attempting to intimidate and restrain them.  Realistically, Kyle is in great shape and could have knocked bony Brandi down, but that doesn't mean Kyle wasn't intimidated.

So, here's my question after seeing this episode.  Why does Brandi carry out these full blown vicious attacks on people?  Yeah, the woman definitely has a problem with pills and alcohol.  She's on lexipro and xanex plus we know she likes her wine.  But these attacks, IMO, are not spur of the moment things like the wine throw.  They're not a result of too much alcohol or meds.  I have no doubt she has thought about what she does and carries it out when the time is 'right' in her mind....the attack on Adrienne (her surrogacy), Taylor, and now Kyle,  Even Lisa and Joyce. 

 

Is it about revenge?  Is it jealousy?  The attack on Kyle in this episode was NOT about protecting Kim.  It was about her feelings about Kyle.  She used Kim as her excuse to go after Kyle.  And to state that Kyle is jealous of their relationship?  Really?

Is it about revenge?  Is it jealousy?  The attack on Kyle in this episode was NOT about protecting Kim.  It was about her feelings about Kyle.  She used Kim as her excuse to go after Kyle.  And to state that Kyle is jealous of their relationship?  Really?

Brandi believes the show should be all about her because she is the wittiest, and the prettiest, and the best mom, and the best friend, and the best sister, and the best daughter, and the best model, and the best cook, and a far better wife than any of them.  Brandi feels she drives the show and if she tries hard enough she can get those she doesn't like FIRED-like Adrienne.  With all her talent it will become a one woman show where she will cycle her BFFs through and they can sit around all day and talk about how fabulous Brandi is and jealous LeAnn and Eddie are of her. 

 

Brandi is very calculating and writes scripts in her head of what she thinks are shocking or funny one liners-like the one about Lisa having a sore tail bone because of anal sex.  See it didn't work in real life but Brandi's BFFs would be rolling.  BTW ain't no way Kim is invited on the Brandi show.

There's no way to really know what she was hospitalized for but I would bet money she will say it was some zany accident or mix up. Shades of the dog broke my nose and I thought I took water pills. Being an addict is a full time job!

She said it was bronchitis AND pneumonia! Kim is sick! What I want to know is - how does she get the hospital to cooperate with her fake illnesses? Or is it a fake hospital room on the set of The Young & the Restless?

There are hospitals which cater to the rich and famous, they will put her in a room with an IV of drugs and feed her three times a day. See: Tori Spelling.

I try to avoid all things Tori Spelling, so I honestly had no idea. Now it makes sense. Thanks.

Yes, and add Joyce to that too.

At the point this was being filmed, Brandi most likely thought she could dictate the storyline.

Lisa was alone at the end of the previous season. Brandi probably thought she and Lisa would make up this season.

So, now with Kyle and Lisa making up, and LisaV snubbing Brandi, somebody had to pay. Hello Kyle.

The HIPA laws prevent the hospital and their staff from revealing the truth, if she was admitted to detox from taking heavy pain meds "borrowed" from a dying ex husband or if she decided to have her boobs redone, they can not say otherwise even if her story is a lie.
