S05.E19: The Party's Over

[Tara Ariano]

In the Season 5 finale, the ladies attend an excessive party hosted by old gal pal Adrienne Maloof. Here, Lisa Vanderpump confronts Brandi about a slap in Amsterdam, Kyle gets angry with Lisa Rinna, and Kim wants answers from Brandi.

[MatildaMoody]

Is it wrong that I still think Harry Hamlin is hot? I know he is on the thin side - he always has been. But something about that salt and pepper just does it for me. I love it when they lose the pretty and get distinguished. I think it's because it takes men so long to age gracefully. I don't know, but I just think he is really sexy and even sexier now than in his Clash of the Titans days.

Yes. Yes. Yes. 

(But his character in Veronica Mars scared me and on Mad Men he annoys me, so it's nice to see HIM.) 

[dizzyd]

Those 1st 2 minutes of season in review were exhausting and I'm just watching a tv show, not living it.

 

Why does Kyle always bring up lessons from mom?  I've heard stories about Big Kathy ruling with an iron fist, but its creepy the way she keeps bringing it up, like she cant think for herself.

 

Yay to see Camille and her fab style.  I always liked Camille on the show and would be great if she came back next season.  Didn't like Adrienne in the past, but I'd be ok with her back too.

 

So far, this episode is not holding my attention and I find myself switching to 1st season reruns of "Chrisley Knows Best".

[dizzyd]

I don't know why VP was trying to reconcile with Brandi, its a lost cause, just be done with it already.

 

With intervention as my drinking word, I should be out soon, and sooner the better, so I wont have to listen to all this drivel.

 

Adrienne's entrance was lame.

[ryebread]

I don't like Camille.  She always seemed unauthentic to me and nothing has changed as far as I can see.  Seems like she's being groomed for next season.

[njbchlover]

I want to know what you told my sister that she told me that you said that Brandi said that my sister told me you said to Brandi and Brandi said to you that you told Kyle and what did you say.....

 

That was about all I got out of that conversation between Lisa R and Kim....

(Oh, and Lisa R looked like a deer caught in the headlights)

Lisar did what I would have done. Leave me out of it! Ground to a fine dust between Tweedledum and Tweedledee. In the immortal words of Phaedra, "Jesus fix it."

Yes, except for the fact that Lisar was in large part responsible for starting it.....

[autumnh]

Oh sweet baby Jesus....please do not bring Brandi back. She is exhausting.

[MatildaMoody]

Yes. Yes. Yes. 

(But his character in Veronica Mars scared me and on Mad Men he annoys me, so it's nice to see HIM.) 

Now I have to admit that I have never watched Mad Men. In my defense, I was waiting for the show to go off the air so that I  could simply enjoy it without commercials or any other interruptions - most of the shows I like go off the air too soon, so I wait.

Yessss! Why can't Todd Chrisley be a damn housewife?! I love that man.

[Lakewood27]

Why would Michael Jackson be cleaning the Van Patten home in 1969?

Every time I see Camille, I wish she was back on the show. Please come back, Camille!

Ugh. No one has reached out because they don't like you, Brandi. The screechy cry-talking and dramatic hair flipping. Now who's acting like a soap opera character?!

Oh, Kim. Darling, it is impossible for Lisa R to besmirch your reputation anymore than you yourself did when you went completely around the bend in that SUV. Check the footage. You were terrifying.

Kathy looks like she is trying to levitate out of that situation between Kim and Kyle.

Love Yo's sexy pants with the mesh panels.

Also love the random puppy at this party.

Of course Brandi wouldn't notice her whole tit hanging out. Too drunk.

Me to the TV when Brandi skipped out-- "Bye, bitch!".

[cooksdelight]

Why did Kim bring Monty if she was going to ditch him the minute she got there? At least she found him later. I felt sorry for him.

Camille got a prince. Yay for her.

Eileen was right. Kim is living a soap opera, and it's a horror show. Dark Shadows from Hell.

Kathy asking Adrienne "You do magic now?" was the only funny moment in this whole mess.

[Umbelina]

Lipsa calling someone else "aggressive" after her behavior is really rich.

 

I think Brandi came because it was the finale episode, and she needs her job, but her dad was apparently not doing well at that time.  I don't feel she "used" her dad as an excuse, I think that she really does love and miss Lisa, and seeing Lisa while worried about her dad, and doing yet another staged scene for Bravo was absolutely too much for her.

 

I do think Lipsa misrepresented the conversation she had with Brandi, not completely but enough.  Kyle wasn't really listening, her eyes were gleaming that she finally had information to hurt Kim, and to further eliminate Brandi from her life.  She could barely contain herself.  I was happy to see her be bitchy to someone else for a change though. 

 

Get used to that hotseat Lipsa, something tells me you will be in it a lot in the coming seasons!  *which is great for US, not so great for you.

 

I like Camille because she's smart.  I loved the way she made her comeback in season two, and then exited.  It was textbook, something all "hated" wives should learn by.  I appreciate smart housewives, so I really wouldn't mind having her back. 

 

Adrienne still bores me silly, what a tasteless woman, and such a waste of Grand-daddies money.

 

Eileen?  The jury is still out for me, she could be a great addition, but I'm not convinced of it yet.  I'll leaning toward, "yeah, once things get tough on HER, it might get good." 

 

I feel so sorry for Yolanda, I hope her KING doesn't dump her because she's sick now, but his track record isn't good. 

 

Lisa certainly got even. 

 

I loved Kim being there with Monty, and really loved that she didn't allow a gang up, and talked one on one with them.  She's getting smarter! 

 

Did Kathy say a word?  She looked a little tipsy to me.

 

Screw Kyle.  I can't stand that fake crap.  Interesting that they put the dog bite in the finale!  I wonder if that means it will be screamed about?

[haydensterling]

WTF is Little Kathy doing all over the place?  Two Richards women are enough.

 

Brandi is such a joke with her hysteria over her father.  Go talk some more shit about your family in your book.

I loved Maurice getting the fuck away from the table as soon as he saw that shit was about to go down.  He's been to far too many of these parties to not see the writing on the wall.

I just fucking love Eileen.  Forever and always, whether she comes back or not.

 

Love Kim telling her stylist and her TH that Lisa R. is messing with her reputation.  Kim, you have ruined your own reputation. No one is responsible for what you do but you.

 

Lisa R is being assy in not backing Kyle straight up, though I personally understand why she's afraid of doing so.  I wouldn't want to say shit about the crazy elephant in the room either, especially when the elephant in the room is such a nasty bitch.  Ultimately it doesn't matter since the edit is in her favor and all Kim has to do is turn on the television.  The absolute worst anyone can say is 'why were you reluctant to speak up about what Brandi had said about Kim'? which let's face it, is not all that awful.

Kim does not have two brain cells to rub together.  Lisa R. is on the money about one thing--Brandi is terrified about her manipulative BS coming out to Kim, who is the last person Brandi has in this group.  So sad that it's coinciding with her dad's illness but this is what happens when you're an equal-opportunity asshole to people--chickens come home to roost when you might not have to ability to deal with your shitty, lying fallout.

 

Please let Andy calling Brandi out in that little preview mean that this is the end of this bitch.

 

End scene, bring on the fucking reunion.

[autumnh]

I have to say..I love Eileen...she just is real and is not shy about tell people to own their shit.

[swankie]

Lisa Rinna is a prime example of someone who says something about someone behind their back but can't say it to their face.  I'm getting really pissed at her right now.  And Brandi just flat out lied.  She's trying to sugar coat it now and when confronted by Kyle she runs like the big chickenshit bitch that she is.  And crying to Lisa about her dad dying!!!  Stupid famewhoring bitch, get off this tv show and go tend to him.  I would surely be more determined to mend my broken relationship with my dying father than to be starting crap with these ladies.  And her last line of the show takes the cake.  "I don't know why I'm always the bad guy", or some such nonsense.  It's because you choose to be idiot!!!   Ugh!

[autumnh]

Yes on the reunion...I am just dreading the three weeks of Kyle's botoxed crying talk face.

[Rhetorica]

I would totally watch a Bravo show about Queen Camille! Andrienne really knows how to throw a tacky party. Kyle totally screwed up Lisar's message. Perhaps innocently. And I think at this point Lisar doesn't even remember the conversation. Who has total recall? Course they have cameras following them around. The reunion should be interesting.

[Mya Stone]

I love Eileen, but I'm assuming she won't be back due to her blurb at the end. 

Can't say I blame her. 

[Morbs]

I cannot believe we had another fight about Kim's sobriety!  That was like the only thing going on the entire season.  I like Eileen and Lisa R, but we barely got to see anything about their lives, just them reacting to the mess that is Kim.  Brandi remains the same, Lisa Vanderpump never wants to go anywhere with the group or to the parties, why is this show still on?  It seems like there are more and more housewives or friends of housewives, and yet the seasons are shrinking in storylines and episode count.

[SwordQueen]

This season was exhausting.  I honestly can’t even tell if I enjoyed watching this shit or not, I just feel tired and in need of some 100% Xanax.

 

Random thoughts:

Whelp ... Brandi is quite unstable, isn’t she?

“Lisa, I’m sorry, I love you.  But my father is dying and everyone is a better person than you are. How dare you not call me after I assaulted you?!  I’m sorry, I love you.”  Her poor kids, man. 

 

 Was anyone surprised that Brandi started shit with Kyle when Kyle wasn’t even near her?  No?  Didn’t think so.  She just had to have a “problem” with Kyle (and Eileen) staring in their direction because Lisa R had gone over to her and Kim to talk.  She just had to get up, all dramatic-like, and stomp off in a huff.  LOL 

 

Oh and Brandi doesn't want to fit in?   You keep telling yourself that, babe, while you're standing out in the rain holding up a boom box in front of LVP's bedroom window.

 

OMGWTFBBQ Kim’s reputation is going to be ruined by Lisa R?   Because she hasn’t spent the last like 5+ years doing that herself?   Hee!  Check and mate, Kim, you are the craziest, nastiest bitch I ever have seen.  I wonder how that crow tastes, now. 

 

So Kathy was there and she didn't have anything to say to either Kim or Kyle (though she was wiping away Kyle's tears and seemed understanding)?  It's odd to me that we really have no idea where Kathy fits into all of this. 

It was good to see Camille. I miss her.  Now I feel unclean. 

 

Adrienne is always like a caricature of herself.  Like she’s just spoofing us.  And LOL that no one noticed her "entrance".

[charming]

Brandi couldn't be bothered with hospital visits while getting facials and going to parties. After everything she's said and done is she really trying to lay a guilt trip on Lisa Vanderpump? Ugh. It's so frustrating to watch her. She also grabbed Lisa's wrists again. The Queen of Don't Touch Me needs to get the hell off this show. She refuses to accept responsibility for her toxic actions.

 

Brandi lies so easily to Kim. I can see why they're besties. I noticed that The Better Sister, Kathy, didn't say jack shit to back up Kim when she was chastising Kyle. 

 

Lisa R is like a scared puppy. She must have never encountered someone as vindictive, petty and selfish as Kim Richards. I don't understand how Kim's brain works. Lisa's words can ruin your reputation? No you fucking twit, your own actions ruin your reputation.

 

Eileen Davidson is the MVP of the season. She started off slow but wow she was fantastic. Calm, collected, good house porn, hosted events, fun husband, cute kid, funny THs. I hope she comes back next season.

 

I see you, Camille. Come on back to the show. Let your true Season 1 self shine thru.

[ExplainItAgain]

OK, I feel like a broken record because I just said about RHOA that if Nene comes back next season I'm out. If Brandi is back next season on RHOBH, I'm out. One bad apple always spoiling the bunch.

[howivesforever]

Isn't Brandi's dad still alive? Why would she say he was dying? I know he had just had open heart surgery, but that saved his life right?

[Higgins]

Lisar did what I would have done. Leave me out of it! Ground to a fine dust between Tweedledum and Tweedledee. In the immortal words of Phaedra, "Jesus fix it."

A little late for that.

[Mozelle]

Brandi's father is dying...yet she's all dolled up for a party by a woman she swore up and down was suing her. Girl, bye!

 

Also, a question that I didn't even know that I had was answered when J.R. said to Kim that he was having fun with her husband drinking. What in all the fuck?! No wonder Kim's out here popping someone else's hardcore medication. The man taking the hardcore medication is also apparently knocking back some drinks, too. Good fucking grief.

[Mya Stone]

I wonder how that crow tastes, now. 

 

Like chicken. It always tastes like chicken. 

100% with you with the exhaustion. I may need a Xanax tonight. Depends on how you guys are. ;) 

[sistermagpie]

I burst out laughing at the Kim/Brandi conversation. Brandi certainly knows the right things to say to Kim: "Oh, of course I didn't imply you weren't sober! I just said that you ought to have great people around you all helping you in your sobriety! And that you take care of everyone else and no one takes care of you! Maybe Lisar heard "intervention" when I was actually talking about canonization. Your life is so hard, Kim, and I'm just in awe of your wonderful heart. Brave little soldier!"

 

Kim: That's what friends do. They worry about each other. Like I worry about you too. I'm just that giving.

 

And then Brandi randomly yells at Kyle across the room. LOL!

 

I was very impressed with Lisa dealing with Brandi. She really manages to get to her just by being over her. She doesn't get into fights, she's genuinely sorry about her father in a politely distant way, but it's not a reason for her to run to Brandi's side and do what she wants.

 

It's still so weird to me how Brandi has this massive hate-on for Kyle suddenly. I know they've been fighting but there really was no incident that started it for Brandi and Kyle was reacting. It's hard to believe Brandi really believes what Kim says about her--unless Kim tells Brandi that Kyle says terrible things about Brandi.

[Higgins]

Brandi's father is dying...yet she's all dolled up for a party by a woman she swore up and down was suing her. Girl, bye!

Does it really matter?

[Umbelina]

The final blurb said Brandi's dad has had several heart surgeries.  I guess this last one was close.

 

On WWHL she said her dad is doing well now.

 

She needs this job, and this was the finale party, of course she was there.  She mentioned she was just going to talk with Kim and leave, so fill the BRAVO commitment and then probably head back to the hospital or home to cry.  I thought it was very real with Lisa, because they really were friends.  I get that, certain people can trigger you into crying, and the unreality of the filming, combined with the reality of her dad, and the former reality that once Lisa would have been there for her hit all at once.

 

Kim was really together tonight, which, of course, made Kyle nuts.  I'm glad Monty came with her.

[Straycat80]

If Intervention had been a drinking word we'd all be passed out by now. Holy cow this episode was exhausting! I know it's too much to hope that Brandi would not be on the show anymore but she does bring on a buttload of drama. And I hate that this show revolves around her and her crazy ass behavior.

I wish we had seen the dog bite but they must have stopped filming before it happened. I hope they talk about it at the reunion because the end note for Kyle said her and Kim have not talked since the dog incident. So I think there's more to this sister rivalry than Kims addiction problems.

Bring on the reunion shows and then the New York Housewrecks!

[Blondie]

One can only hope the scene of Brandi walking away is her permanent exit.  I doubt we can be so lucky.  She just doesn't belong with these women.  Neither does Kim.

Is Kathy auditioning to be on the show.  Please God.  NOOOOOOOOO

[Satchels of gold]

Well that was unsatisfying.

[Umbelina]

Interesting that the other Richard's sister and her spawn are suddenly showing up on RHBH now, when the wouldn't be filmed before.  I wonder what's up with that?

[bosawks]

"You wanted to intervene on me." God, I love this show.

These women think "rapprochement" is the name of a new restaurant ....

[SFoster21]

SwordQueen, that was great that you mentioned that Adrienne's big entrance was unnoticed. Appropriate.

Camille is an awful person and I'm glad she's done on this show.

[swankie]

Isn't Brandi's dad still alive? Why would she say he was dying? I know he had just had open heart surgery, but that saved his life right?

 

 

She says he's dying because it's more dramatic than just saying he's recovering from heart surgery.  Brandi has no shame and knows damned well she would sell tickets to her dad's funeral if it would put more attention on her plus put money in her pocket.  She's the most heartless, self centered asshole I've witnessed in a long time. smdh

[njbchlover]

Isn't Brandi's dad still alive? Why would she say he was dying? I know he had just had open heart surgery, but that saved his life right?

 

Yes, Brandi's father is fine.  Andy asked her when she was on WWHL the other night.

 

I also think that he was fine and out of ICU by the time the finale was filmed....horribly, my feeling is she was playing that card for sympathy, hoping for a reconciliation with Lisa V.

 

I hate to be nasty, but she was like someone begging for a mercy fuck.....

Yes, and he was doing fine at the time of filming. Brandi was just trying to get more sympathy. Because it was her soap opera moment. 

[cooksdelight]

I had a friend with a brain tumor, and she was drinking straight vodka. Someone said something to her about it and she replied "What's it going to do, kill me?" She died a month later. I think if Monty wants to drink, let him. But drinking and taking meds and living with Kim all at the same time....that's a Molotov cocktail waiting to explode.

[Llama]

Yes, except for the fact that Lisar was in large part responsible for starting it.....

Didn't Brandi kind of start it too though since that lunch was about HER and she turned it to talking about Kim?

SwordQueen - you should know that not to far outside of Detroit, in a suburb that desperately wants to be cool but is not, there is a middle aged woman (who still gets her flow so as not to be completely worthless as a human being) who just spewed a delightful mouthful of Malbec all over her iPad at the above reference. I will now forever picture a desperate Brandi standing outside Lisa's tacky abode with a boom box that is playing Peter Gabriel late into the night. Girl, you made my night.

Mozelle - that is almost verbatim what I said during her little pity party with Lisa.  I know it's been said many times over, in much wittier ways, but GreatDayInTheMorning! that woman has no class a'tall.  Hopefully Lisar can take over as the resident drama queen and Brandi can go kick rocks.

 

Re: your second paragraph; not to sound glib or anything, but the man is dying of cancer.  A few drinks at this point probably isn't going to really affect the remainder of his life all too much.  In fact, just by virtue of hanging out with Kim and someone who sleeps with DrunkOtis, I feel almost compelled to send him a drink myself.

[The Mighty Peanut]

I assume it was producer driven but I still giggled at Kyle and Eileen accidentally on purpose standing 15 feet away from Brandi and Kim "My Sister" Richards.

[Blondie]

Is it wrong that I still think Harry Hamlin is hot? I know he is on the thin side - he always has been. But something about that salt and pepper just does it for me. I love it when they lose the pretty and get distinguished. I think it's because it takes men so long to age gracefully. I don't know, but I just think he is really sexy and even sexier now than in his Clash of the Titans days.

He had a recurring role on  Shameless.  He played the father of one of the characters and was one of those guys who screwed (physically) either sex.  He also seemed to have a drinking problem.  He did a great job with the role and was very convincing.  Yup.  He's still hot

I knew they would show the clip of LisaR and Brandi at lunch.  

 

LisaR conveniently "forgot" that she was the one who used the intervention word first.  I don't know how Kyle could say that she knows the truth.  She wasn't there.  I wonder if she still thinks she knows the truth after seeing the lunch episode.

Monty didn't have to live with Kim. He chose to and I think that their love is a beautiful thing.
