First Looks: Upcoming Episodes Season 5


  • Start Topic

Recommended Posts

 

Funny how anticipated these last few episodes (and the reunion) are.

 

Anticipated, at least in my mind, for looking for resolution - calling Brandi the viper she is and making it stick.

 

I guess I can dream, but Brandi and Kim (for different reasons) need to make the call that this is their final season.  

 

Brandi, because she will no longer have a story line to make her worth the while and she brings nothing to the table but aggravation - I can actually see LVP making a stink if Brandi continues on the show next season, after the slap and the other inappropriate behavior.

 

Kim, because she really needs to go into a full-time treatment program to resolve her issues.  That's not a 90 day program, that's minimally six months, maybe a year.  If Kim's life is that miserable, then she should be separating herself to the point of a nunnery and figure out what she wants, what she needs and what she can do without, so that she doesn't need to manage her 'pain' with pharmaceuticals and libations.

I'm looking forward to the "You're LYING" bull but seriously, doesn't widdle flower Kimmy need to WATCH the episodes to understand how Brandi's thrown her under the bus?  I've heard her say many times, "I don't watch the shows".... SO....  This too shall probably fly right over her stoopid little turtle loving brain. Just sayin'.

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that Brandi said recently that she and Kim are on the outs, or something like that, because of what she saw in the episodes. I never bought Kim's contention that she didn't watch the episodes - it was always just a convenient way for her to not comment on her ugly behavior.

That being said, I'm not sure that it even matters, because Kim is so invested in her "I'm 3 years sober" narrative and needs an ally, and Brandi's all she's got. My prediction is that Kim will either not believe Kyle, or simply find some way to minimize or excuse Brandi's betrayal.

Brandi is just as self-unaware as Kim.  In the clip, she says that the others are all immediately forgiven for what they do while she isn't.  Does she not understand that "the others" show remorse and apologize for what they do?  The problem is Brandi never shows remorse.

 

Personally, I can't wait to watch Kim shaking her bony finger at Kyle while screeching  "You're lying!!!!  You're lying!!!"

Good for Brandi if she gets laid! That must be what the hooker outfits are for.

Keep her happy! Gather ye rosebuds...

I think we are still in Amsterdam for a dinner and the ladies donned their nicest costumes.  Tonight is the first 11 minutes.  Maybe it is time for some peace and tranquility.  That would mean no Brandi with the group.

Andre, Brandi's new boy toy, is Max's friend. No wonder she was so quick to be on this date.

Brandi still doesn't believe the slap was no big deal and has done was a "joke". Yo still trying to be Brandi's etiquette coach. Lisa said shes done giving Brandi 2nd chances and she blows it.

Ken was on the phone with Lisa he was shocked to hear what Brandi did. Yo fills Brandi in about how what Lisa told her and all she got was attitude back and Brandi said in her TH, "I whether have a date than be around five menopausal mamas." Yo was not happy with Brandi's attitude and said, "Thats the kind of response you get from a child" all because Brandi was deflecting yet again from not taking accountability for her actions.

Are we allowed to post in this First Looks thread now that the new one just aired?

We were told the old FL comments would be moved into the episode discussion on the Friday after the episode airs to make way for new posts but that didn't happen.

I'm finally starting to respect Yolanda for condemning Brandi's behavior to her face. Brandi should realize that when even Yolanda is telling you to tone it down and stop making excuses you've gone too far.

 

That's the thing that always irritated me about Yolanda constantly defending Brandi. If Brandi called her by a different name, talked about her husband, threw wine in her face or slapped her she would never tolerate it. She thinks way too highly of herself.

 

I suspect that if Yo wasn't saying she's sick, Brandi would tear into her for the things that she's saying in her TH. She'll probably refrain from spilling all of Yo's darkest secrets so not be considered a total monster.

I do believe Yo is truly trying with Brandi and even take her on as her pet project. Maybe she feels it's God's Plan for her to help Brandi. Yet Brandi is so stuck in her ways and glosses over everything as a joke it's difficult to make a break through. But I do admire Yo's commitment for trying just Brandi prefers being ratchet.

I think Brandi is still trying to hold onto Yolanda as tight as she can because otherwise she only has Kim in her corner. Even Brandi knows that will not last much longer, that the truth will come out regarding what all Brandi spilled about Kim.

Brandi embarrassed YO at her dinner party w/Baby Face, and David doesn't seem to have much patience for Brandi.  She reached out to her, in her own way, to try to get her to stop drinking, go on a cleanse, etc.   But I think what has happened in Amsterdam is just too much for her.  Yo gently tries to make Brandi see reason, and point out that her actions are what causes the gossip and drama (next week).   Yo is sick, and I get the feeling she will have little time for Brandi.   Brandi doesn't want help, and all of YO's efforts go unheard.

She really was talking about Brandi like she was her child or pet project: "We have to teach her slowly." What?! That's ridiculous. Brandi is a 42 year old woman. It's not Yo's responsibilty to "train" her or teach her anything, and it's just embarrassing for both of them. Furthermore, Yolanda has to realize that Brandi likes who she is, and doesn't want to change. That's why the lectures and the advice fall on deaf ears. Same thing with Kim, of course. Whenever someone tries to help her, they get an angry response or "blah, blah, blah," or "leave me alone." She doesn't want to change.

The only real comment I have after watching this week's First Look is that LisaV looked amazing when she was on the phone with Ken.  She is a beautiful woman. I loved her with her hair pulled back and the fluffy white robe was a welcome change from some of this season's fashion choices.

 

As for the rest of it.........more of the same.  I'm tired of Brandi.  That includes seeing her, listening to her and discussing her, so thanks a lot Andy.

No, Black Mamba, don't fall into the Brandi Semantics trap!!!!

 

She didn't say Andre was a friend of Max's but rather than he grew up around/with Max (paraphrased).

 

Based on how she hedged that statement, I'm guessing maybe he's someone Max might have went to school with at some point in his 23 years and probably has had no real personal connection with.

 

Because Brandi has made me paranoid with taking anything out of her mouth with anything less than an ocean's worth of salt.  

 

I caught the way she said this because I've become aware of her verbal fucknuttery and the way she artfully skirts issues and tippy-toes around actual facts.

 

I'm waiting to see if he's a "friend" of Max's until this is confirmed by Max or Lisa.

 

Always, but always, carefully scrutinize how Brandi phrases things.  

 

That being said, I hope Bravo spends an absolute minimal amount of time foisting her fucking "date" on us.  I'd much rather see the other women have a pleasant dinner in Amsterdam, more food porn, and more canals or sites.

 

Was I the only one NOT shocked when Brandi said she met that Andre dude in the red light district?

 

Maybe he'll tip her at the end of the evening.

I'm completely offended at how young that boy was. He looked about the same at as my deceased son's friends.   eww, I need a shower.

 

Well, Brandi did find him in the Red Light District.

We finally got to see the scene that someone in Amsterdam took a video of, which was posted in another thread earlier (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zla1LbUPbUs&spfreload=10).

 

You can see a little of what was edited out, although not much since most of the dialogue isn't audible. It's still interesting to compare.

 

Brandi just doesn't understand that apologizing doesn't erase what you've done, especially if you continue to hurt people over and over again. If she felt true remorse for her behavior, she wouldn't continue to make the same mistakes. It's evident that she isn't truly remorseful about the slap when in her talking head she follows up her admission that she took the joke too far with some statement about how Lisa V. has also taken jokes about her too far in the past. If you're truly remorseful there shouldn't be a qualifier in your acknowledgement of guilt or your apology. 

 

Brandi also fails to see how her actions differ from that of her cast mates (except Kim, who also behaves abhorrently without cause, and frequently hits below the belt). When Lisa V. takes a joke too far it doesn't involve violating someone's personal space or being violent. When Lisa R. went off the rails at that dinner she had been provoked. While that doesn't excuse her behavior, it's a lot easier to forgive her than someone who acts violently without provocation. Lisa in no way provoked Brandi into slapping her, nor did Eileen provoke Brandi into throwing wine at her. And while I could forgive Brandi for shoving Kyle away during poker night after Kyle was provoked into (wrongfully) grabbing Brandi (who shouldn't have been in between Kim and Kyle in the first place), there was no justification for Brandi putting her hands on Kyle in Eileen's driveway.

 

Brandi also doesn't get that the things she says about others differs from the things they say about her. The other women have not hit below the belt. They've commented truthfully about her behavior that she's displayed on camera. Brandi does have a drinking problem (in a different way than Kim does), she is an angry drunk, she does lie about people, she does take things too far, she does hit below the belt, she is frequently mean to people on camera, she shouldn't insert herself in Kim and Kyle's relationship. Hitting below the belt would have been discussing Brandi's tampon strong incident on camera last season when it wasn't filmed, or commenting negatively on Brandi's parenting skills. Brandi, on the other hand, outright lies about people (e.g. Kyle saying Lisa V. cheats on Ken/filed for bankruptcy, and Lisa V. telling Brandi to put the tabloids in the suitcase), embellishes the truth (e.g. Adrienne and Paul suing her, and Adrienne arranging a meeting with the other women to gang up on Lisa V.), leaves out pertinent information (e.g. telling Kim that Lisa R. was questioning her sobriety without mentioning that she brought up the topic and expressed concern as well), and commenting on things that weren't seen on camera (e.g. Kyle smoking pot/being around pot smoking, and Adrienne and Paul using a surrogate for their twins). 

 

Comparing Brandi's behavior to the other women's is like comparing apples to hotdogs. They aren't even in the same category.

LVP is certainly far more animated than we see of her on the First Look.  I question why Brandi is buying an arm full of flowers the day before they leave.  Not very practical-I assume Yolanda's are for Ans.

Me too!  Very interesting first look.   Even Yolanda is done (almost) with Brandi, and Lisa is not giving her an inch.  Not an inch.  When Brandi told Yolanda "fine, I won't go to the dinner, I have a date", her expectation I'm sure was that Yolanda would insist she come to the dinner instead.  But Yolanda was silent. And Lisa would not accept her apology - no way no how- and both told her more than once that she can't just do these things, snap out an apology and it goes away.

 

Wonder if Kim goes to the dinner -and by the way, her TH about the slap is just ridiculous.   And Brandi makes another crack about menopausal women.

 

I think the phone call to Ken was for the cameras.  I think Lisa had already called him.

 

Brandi's finished. In the words of Heather Dubrow "If everyone is telling you you're dead, it's time to lay down".

 

 

Editing to add that I thought Lisa is handling this well.  She was firm with Brandi, and when she was telling Yolanda about it.  She also was very careful not to make it into more than what it was - she said more than once that it was not a hard slap, but still a slap and she felt violated.  So Brandi can go on and on about how it wasn't a hard slap and she was just kidding around - none of that is the point, and Lisa made that clear.

I liked the preview of Brandi's date - clearly visible:  her Spanx under the dress (look at the hemline creeping up).

 

Second the repetition of Heather's statement above.  Pretty much no one wants to hang out with Brandi, with the possible exception of Kim (who certainly can't process knowing any better).  Brandi would have no one to hang out with, if it weren't for the contractual obligation for the others being on the show.

Why would Brandi wear Spanx, she's as bony and skinny as a rail. I try not to look at her hemlines. :)

I see exactly what Brandi is up to with the date, indicating he knows Max. She's going to come away from that with her "I know a secret" smile and try to con her way back into Lisa's good graces. That ship has sailed. In fact, it's on the other side of the ocean. She's used up all of the tricks in her bag, Kim is the only person left who will have her. And Lisa R had better stop being so nice to Brandi or I'm going to stop loving her.

That young man looked like a child with his own "Menopausal Momma".

I'm so glad Lisa V made it beyond clear she is done with Brandi.

Brandi one of the reasons everyone is done with you, you can't be an asshole then apologize, then be an asshole once again and give another lame apology.

I want to feel bad for Yo, she seems like she sees Brandi, but doesn't want to be a bad friend and "abandon" Brandi.

Then, I remember what an ass she was to Joyce and the support she gave Brandi while Brandi treated Joyce like garbage, and I don't feel that bad for Yo.

When watching Lisa V. and Yolanda talking about Brandi, it just felt so glaringly obvious that Brandi doesn't fit in with these women.  Lisa V. is over Brandi and was only tolerating her this season for the show.  Brandi ruined her friendships and possibly her position on the show.

Brandi has one skank ass attitude to fit that skank personality in this first look. Shes set in her ways while talking to Yo. Any woman who's older than her that tries giving her advice she looks at it is as "mothering" her or they are menopausal. No, bitch, it's called trying to help so listen for once! YoDaLemons, while she isnt my fav and gets on my nerves sometimes, is legitimately trying to be that good friend to Brandi. But Brandi feels in order to be her friend you have to blow sunshine up her ass. I have friends that I love like family and I tell them I love them but if they do wrong I will call them out on their bs too, not in a rude way, but more of the Eileen-way. Im not gonna be a fake friend if I have to be that I dont want to be their friend. Brandi keeps it up with YoDa shes gonna find real soon she could lose a friend in her someday.

It took me awhile to warm to Yolanda but I have; I like her, a lot.  She commands respect just by being who she is.  She councils Brandi but is not attached to the outcome.  She takes the high road with ease.  LisaV tries to do this and succeeds some of the time but would benefit from watching how Yolanda operates.  

 

Brandi's date is clearly the son of one of the Amsterdam crew!  This may have been a ploy to remove her so they could get some footage of the women without the drama she brings.  It could be a refreshing change if this was their plan.  Maybe. The strongest bonds between people is a shared enemy so I expect to see a lot of complaining about Brandi.  

 

We didn't get all that much with this First Look.

My favorite part of the First Look was at the end, when Brandi in full victim mode, said "I've tried everything with these women and nothing works!"

i.e., "I've slapped them, thrown wine in their face, pushed them down steps, said their husbands are cheating, outed their children's surrogacy, threatened to knock their teeth in, claimed they cheated on their husbands, called them home wreckers, implied their children are alcoholics, lied about a lawsuit they never filed against me, accused them of being on crystal meth, accused them of sleeping on s-t stained pillows, paid 9.99 to announce they filed for bankruptcy, told them they wanted their siblings to die, told them they weren't wanted by their own families, WHY DON'T THEY LIKE ME?"

Gosh Brandi. It sure is a mystery.

 

That's Brilliant!

 

Gee, Brandi receives a blow to her ego.  Brandi has inappropriate sex to make herself feel better.  What a surprise!  She's showing those old harpies, isn't she?  UGH!  Get some therapy.

My DirecTV says the RHOBH first look begins at 8:29p eastern on Friday.  So if you have a way to set a time recording, there you go.

 

My DVR is set to record all new episodes of RHBH, and it records all of the RHBH First Looks too even though I never added that separately. So I get them all automatically, and I guess I thought it was like that for everyone.

Ironic how Kim can defend every little thing Brandi does as a JOKE, for heaven's sake but God forbid that Kyle not run around defending her at every second and Lisa and Eileen mention concern for Kim.  Brandi too can make a JOKE about Kim's drinking and drugging and it's all good and merry but if Lisa and/or Eileen dare to offer help or concern about Kim's alleged sobriety, it's not funny, it's not a joke and they are clearly attacking Kim's children. 

 

Kim is a fucking nut.

The difference, as I see it, is that Kim knows that Eileen and the others are concerned for her health and well-being and they are not buying her story of being sober. They've got her number. Brandi, on the other hand, will enable Kim to continue using whatever it is she is using, so therefore Brandi is not a threat, but a friend. It's how addicts work. They will attack those who try to get them to wake up and smell the coffee, as was demonstrated in this preview.

They are all deflecting, making Kim and Brandi the problem to keep the focus off of themselves.  Concerned about Kim?  No.  Kyle is but any concern from the others is just posing.  Hopefully Brandi's date will keep her out of the plot next week.

What focus are they keeping off themselves?  I mean this sincerely.  If we go by what Brandi has presented  should these women be talking about unsubstantiated rumors about themselves or their family members?  Let's pretend Lisar has an eating disorder, do we hope she admits it or is everyone in the group suppose to mention to Lisar she has an eating disorder?  Or Lisar's husband sobriety-because as far as I am concerned she has addressed it.  I can't figure out what there is of Eileen's needs to be focused on.

 

Maybe what Brandi really wants is for the group to get into her favorite topic-Eddie Cibrian leaving her for LeAnn Rimes.  Lord knows she hasn't had enough attention on that event in her life.

That has been what is bugging me.  Are there some scene of LvP being drunk and humping the help at SUR?  Or Lisar sticking her finger down her throat after having dinner at PUMP? Or Kyle pulling wings off butterflies?  Brandi bawling (again) about how the ladies talk about her being a drunk and mean, slapping LvP or manhandling Kyle or acting up at virtually ever outing are all things we have seen is just not fair because she can't talk about them. Brandi or Kim's opinion on Lisar , Eileen's, LvP's or Kyle's marriage is not interesting.  If she wants to have a go with one of them so be it but I don't expect any one of them to stick around and entertain she or Kim's flights of fancy about their  marriages.  Nor do I expect Yolanda to sit still while Brandi tries to explain her past five years of bad drunken behavior is the same as her 17 year old daughter's one time DUI arrest?  Does Brandi pretend to hang out with Bella and her friends?

 

That is my take on the First Look of Brandi crying once again about not being heard.  Not one of these women's marriages or children has an effect on Brandi's life whatsoever.  The cruelest of which is Brandi comparing LvP to a prostitute because she married someone older than she.  Why would anyone want to listen to that?  That clip comes up on Bravo but I am not sure what episode it applies to.  Could Ken ever forgive Brandi for such a comment?  I would not think so.
