S05.E20: Reunion Part 1

[SwordQueen]

Brandi really creeps me out in a perverse way.  Her mantra seems to be "It's better to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission".   That's a dangerous mindset to live by.  I really worry about her boys if they adapt this same way of thinking.   

[nexxie]

Wish we could see the other two parts now!

[FlyingEgret]

I'm glad to see that next week they move off Brandi (at least for a little while)

[Straycat80]

Just finished watching part one of this snarkfest. Thr best part was Andy comparing Brandi to a dog. Haha!

That and she is SO READY to pounce.  Like Andy was defending her and she loses her shit on him.  It's weird.  Like anger management 101.  She scares the hell out of me.

[njbchlover]

Bwahahaha! Andy actually used a dog analogy to describe Brandi's behavior toward Lisa on the boat (whereby Brandi is the dog that bites after playing too hard with its owner). Ha!

And genius that Brandi is, she did NOT understand it, AT ALL....more convinced now than ever that she did not write those blogs with the big, complicated words like "hyperbole" and "hypocrite" were used.

Shout-out to Kyle! She's the real MVP. For mentioning the tampon string, of course! I'm not ashamed to admit that in my living room, I was pumping my fist and saying, "Boom! Boom!"

 

On the flipside, I cannot believe that Kim showed up to the reunion still friendly with Brandi and ready to fight with Lisa R. Has she not watched the actual episodes?! I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't.

Ok, I'm back...still miffed that you East Coast guys, and soon too the Central guys, have watched it and I still have to wait another God Damned 2 hours!

[AnnA]

 AnnA... I'm telling ya...Baby Jane.

 

 

good job on those so far!

 

Thank you.  You're absolutely right about Baby Jane.

 

That will be my next project.

[Leroux]

Omg I am utterly disgusted

Disgusted with Andy Cohen who allows Trashy brandi to call Kyle the C word twice in his face and pretends that nothing happened. I bet if Brandi said to Kyle you are a (insert homosexual slur) Andi would had made a huge issue out of it

Disgusted with Brandi because she is a low form of life, she is a mean, angry and evil woman who has no redeeming qualities at all except to be the trashy unfiltered mouth who stirs controversy. kyle should get a restraining order and put her foot down, there is no way she can film with Brandi and she should not allow this woman around her.

I am most disgusted with Kim Richards, for a whole season she has made a huge issue about her sister Kyle being unloyal to her and here she is sitting next to a woman who tells her sister "I hate you, I have dreams about beating you to a pulp, you are a f$&@ing c*^% and does Kim does? Absolutely nothing

Brandi and Kim are absolutely disgusting.

[FlyingEgret]

Just finished watching part one of this snarkfest. Thr best part was Andy comparing Brandi to a dog. Haha!

 

Maybe Kim can say that Kyle's daughter teased her dog too many times and the dog was forced to pulled a Brandi

[panthergirl13]

Well, it looks like most of the really good stuff (except for the tampon string) won't come until part 2. Or 4. Or however many they've got planned. (who am I kidding? I'd watch 6)

[Morbs]

Brandi's face really confuses me.  I think she looked good today at the reunion, but then other times, her cheekbones can look like a mask or so shiny like a burn victim.  I think it has a lot to do with lighting.

 

Brandi and Kim need to learn the more they get offended that people think they have a drinking problem the more it looks like they have one.  If you keep protesting that you don't, I immediately think you do.

 

Disgusted with Andy Cohen who allows Trashy brandi to call Kyle the C word twice in his face and pretends that nothing happened. I bet if Brandi said to Kyle you are a (insert homosexual slur) Andi would had made a huge issue out of it

 

 

What do you mean?  He made her repeat it because he wanted her to be held accountable for what she said and he made a face that he wasn't cool with that.  It let the viewers make the judgement, and just acted as a host and facilitator for our judgements, which is his job.

Loved that all of the others stayed in control while dumb dumb was trying to spin her nonsense, even Kyle managed to stay composed with dumb dumb and her own nasty sister. I hope that dumb dumbs FU to Andy is finally her ticket of of this show. Can't wait to see part 2 next week.

I really don't think that Kim has watched the episodes this season. Has she written any blogs? She checked out in season one, too, saying that she didn't watch any of the episodes (similarly with the Ken the Mastiff season). I think that's the clue to know that Kim KNOWS her behavior was fucked up during filming; she doesn't want to be confronted with it again on film.

 

And genius that Brandi is, she did NOT understand it, AT ALL....more convinced now than ever that she did not write those blogs with the big, complicated words like "hyperbole" and "hypocrite" were used. 

 

Well, Brandi is so accustomed to calling women "bitches" and whatnot, that she very likely filtered it as Andy calling her a bitch. Or, that he was saying she looked like a dog (when we all know that Brandi is trying to turn into the human cat).

Ok, I'm back...still miffed that you East Coast guys, and soon too the Central guys, have watched it and I still have to wait another God Damned 2 hours!

Between the First Look and all the preview clips released early, I felt like I didn't really see a lot of new stuff (except Andy comparing Brandi to a dog was hilarious!). Can't wait for parts 2 and 3.

[Rhetorica]

My heart just goes out to Yolanda. To be so vibrant and now to seem to be fading...how horrible. Lisa needs a good color treatment with conditioner to help her aging drying hair. And a shorter cut will keep her face from being dragged down. When everyone yells, I can't hear anything! So that's all I got out of the episode. Oh yeah, Brandi is so tiring! Yada, Yada, Yada.

[Persnickety1]

I give Brandi 2 years before she turns into Jocelyn Wildenstein. 

Hell, at the accelerated rate she's going, I give her 2 months before hitting full-blown Jocelyn territory.

 

I need to watch this again to absorb it all.

 

Moon face kept distracting me.  

 

HONORABLE MENTION:  Lisa Rinna announcing she turned down Kim's Big Gig on Diving with the Stars.

 

Gawd, I hope that's true because the simultaneous look of dismay, confusion, and butt-hurt that crossed poor lil Kimmie's face when she heard that was fucking PRICELESS.

 

I just want to add discussing this with all of you lovely folks here at PTV makes this shitstorm exponentially more enjoyable.  

 

Cheers!

Brandi's comebacks are as old as that tampon string..and she is 3 1/2 years younger then Kyle.

 

Listen, the biggest accomplishment in Brandi's life seems to be that she has her period. Not like millions of other women - it's just her!

 

 

 

And genius that Brandi is, she did NOT understand it, AT ALL

 

BG is really dumb. I mean as rock etc. All she hears in that thick empty skull is that Andy called her a dog. The man was attempting to defend her!

 

Apparently, Kim doesn't watch any episodes of this show or she wouldn't be sitting next to BG acting all BFF with her. By the way, she's pretty stupid too.

 

I loved how Lisa R called out BG about that text. BG had no answer because she knew Lisa R was telling the truth. Then Lisa V calling her out about little Dutch boy. BG did not sleep with that guy. No way. Lying liar that lies just keeps going.

 

I'd have to say it's pretty obvious none of the other women except for Yolanda and that air head Kim will put up with BG any more. I really hope this means the end of her.

 

My ear drums are going to be damaged by BG's horrible screeching and Kim's horrible voice. Yikes.

 

Lisa V don't let BG off the hook - keep going at her in the next part of the reunion.

 

Kyle kept her cool pretty well during this episode.

 

 

"I hate you, I have dreams about beating you to a pulp, you are a f$&@ing c*^%

 

That was beyond disgusting. Seriously that alone should earn BG a big fat firing.

[SwordQueen]

I loved, and by loved I mean found utterly ridiculous, Kim waxing on about how to forgive and see the good in people.   LOL   If only she hadn't been so wasted on 100% pain pills in Amsterdam, she could have put those lovely thoughts into action with Lisa R, Eileen and her Bad Sister. 

[potato]

I hate that this was basically the Brandi show (even if she was being properly read.)

 

Why does Brandi actually hate Kyle? Does anyone know? I get that Kyle can be unlikable at times, but you'd think Kyle killed her dog. Or stole her husband. 

[The Mighty Peanut]

Oh, they all act like dogs gone too far -- Brandi at least could be ssshhhddd by Cesar Milan. The rest of them are too frenzied to abandon the pile on. Andy's the HBIC!

[Mya Stone]

I actually appreciated Andy drawing attention to Brandi's slur against Kyle. I didn't catch it the first time, but he made sure we ALL knew what she said, and just let it hang there.

As someone who outwardly stays pretty impartial, I thought it was deftly done.

[njbchlover]

That and she is SO READY to pounce.  Like Andy was defending her and she loses her shit on him.  It's weird.  Like anger management 101.  She scares the hell out of me.

 

Yes....just like an angered dog....just like Andy's analogy!!  (But, she still doesn't get it!)  

I think she thought he was insulting her looks by calling her "a dog"....still, it's okay for her to call everyone a "bitch", no??  

[RedKoolAide]

Kim had the audacity to say she has discerning taste when it comes to choosing roles, but she's doing Sharknado 3. She's such an asshole.

[LotusFlower]

She has definitely watched the episodes. That's why she blogged regularly until the episodes where her behavior was indefensible (TM Kyle) - not a coincidence that she then went radio silence. Brandi also revealed pre-reunion that Kim was angry at her b/c of what she was seeing on the show (because of course during filming, Kim had no idea Brandi was going around talking about her relapsing). But she needed an ally at the reunion, and Brandi was all she had, so I'm sure she gave her a temporary reprieve. What choice did she have? I'm guessing the reprieve lasted that one day only.

[hypnotoad]

 

Why does Brandi actually hate Kyle? Does anyone know?

 

Didn't Kyle ask her that very question tonight? I don't think I heard any kind of answer in all that screeching BG was doing.

Right? That was ridiculous. Oh and BG saying something about Lisa R doing a number of reality shows. Isn't a reality show really the only reason BG is known? Didn't she just do Celebrity Apprentice? What other jobs has she done exactly (and that lame Podcast she does, doesn't count)? Shut up, BG and Kim.

[ridethemaverick]

Kim is awful. Was it me or was she leaning in with blow after blow trying to get Kyle to break down? What a nutjob. And she looked like shit.

Brandi, nobody wants your bony ass stabbing them during a lap dance. Stfu.

7 figures?? Put a diaper on me dammit. O got student loans to pay.

Lisar looked really pretty. Her makeup and hair looked great. I see why she sticks with her look. She wears it well.

I've never really cared for Yolanda as a person but my heart goes out to her.

Lvp needs to let the bump its go. But she was relentless tonight and I loved it.

Yay, kyle didn't cry! And she got a few digs in too. My girl is growing up.

[hoodooznoodooz]

Yolanda: "My children are no better than anybody else, even the people that live in Ohio."

She didn't phrase that very well.

[SwordQueen]

I'm glad Lisa V held her ground with Brandi.   I didn't like Andy's analogy because Brandi, imo, wasn't being "a playful dog" when she was groping Lisa.  She was unwanted.  That's giving her too much permission to touch people when not only have they not said "yes" but when they've actively said "no". 

[Mya Stone]

Maybe Kimmy should rename Kingsley and rebrand him as Brandi. No one would come close to a dog with that name. They'd fear for their lives, methinks.

[njbchlover]

Maybe Kim can say that Kyle's daughter teased her dog too many times and the dog was forced to pulled a Brandi

 

I really think that is what she will say...in the preview, Kim hinted to "telling the real story" about Kyle's daughter.

[BluishGreen]

Just finished watching part one of this snarkfest. Thr best part was Andy comparing Brandi to a dog. Haha!

 

Yeah, he said that, but I am more convinced than ever that he is a Brandi fan.  The questions he chose to read were more often critical of the others and supported Brandi's point of view: 

 

Lisa V forgave Yo and Kyle-- why not Brandi?

How about that double standard you all have against poor Brandi?

Brandi, YOU aren't judgmental regarding Lisa R's weight, right? (he pretty much put the words in Brandi's mouth on that one)

Did you all think Lisa exaggerated the slap?. 

 

I am very sorry to say he was bending over backwards in these this group discussions to help her.  Disappointed in you, Andy!

Totally agree with the Lisa R diss to Kim about turning down the diving show. Lisa R should have told Kim that according to her BFF that Kim could have appeard in an ad for "Oops I crapped my pants diapers" (TM old Saturday Night live commercial spoof)

Right? I may or may not have yelled at my tv, like anyone's offering your effed up ass ANY jobs. My dogs shamed me into calming down.

Brandi. I just can't. Go away.

[rehoboth]

I'm not sure I care for Kyle's strategy for speaking over Brandi.  It might be good because Kyle's not too quick with the comebacks and it beats letting Brandi have the last word/accusation.  Not too good for viewers.

 

I give the win tonight to Lisa V for being relentless with Brandi.  She did not let one thing go by.

 

I give runner up to Lisa R with her turning down Diving with the Stars.  Gold.  Comedy gold at Kim's expense no less.

[Morbs]

Kyle has a happy marriage, in my opinion, that's why Brandi hates her.

[shoegal]

Brandi keeps saying "we" we're joking or playing around but what she doesn't recognize is that SHE may have been joking or playing around but Lisa wasn't....just like Eileen wasn't playing soap opera. Brandi is so self absorbed it's like she doesn't realize that other people aren't playing along.

Also, if you have yo address whether you have a drinking problem on multiple occasions, maybe you need to think about how much you are drinking. Just saying.

Yes! Kim called herself discerning, and all I could think was, Oh, honey. You use the word, but I don't think you know what it means.

Tell us all about Sharknado 3 and Diving with the Stars, please.

[LotusFlower]

You need to get inside Brandi's pea-sized, immature, drug-addled brain to understand: because she's a c*nt.

[panthergirl13]

Of course you're right... I was being overly optimistic.

 

She looks like Dr. Franff. I wanted Lisa to get up and slap her just to see her cheek cave in.

[TexasGal]

I am proud of Kyle so far - tossing out tampongate, not backing down with Kim and thank jeebus not crying. Go girl!

[WireWrap]

Brandi may have been "playing" but LisaV was not, Andy seemed to miss that fact. They were laughing at first until Brandi tried to force a kiss on LisaV and that is when all laughing/joking stopped by Lisa and Brandi morphed into a creepy/scary/aggressive mode.

[BogoGog24]

The funny thing is that I bet if any one of them (especially Kyle or Eileen) had slapped Brandi and tried to pass it off as "just playing," that Brandi wouldn't have accepted that and played the victim for the next 20 years about it. So why does she think she can do that to Lisa? Ugh.

 

And her comments overall are low blows, from talking about Yolanda's 17 year old daughter having ONE DUI, continuously telling Lisa R she needs to eat, passing off blatantly slapping a fellow cast member as "just playing," and saying she imagines punching another cast member and calling her one of the nastiest names in the book. What is it going to take for this woman to get kicked off the show already? Kill someone? I shudder to think what more harm they'll allow her to get away with doing to her fellow cast members before they finally pull the plug on her. 

 

It's unfortunate that practically the entire reunion and comments from viewers have to be wasted on her and Kim. You don't want to give them the satisfaction by talking about them, thinking maybe if we don't, they'll go away, but we can't help ourselves. They are the show, whether we like it or not. :/

[mbaywife123]

Sorry to bother one of the mods, but my reply to persnicketys post was supposed to be her quote and my response. I'm two drinks in and suck at quoting. Please fix me!

[mla40]

Andy should have looked that crazy bitch in the eye and said 'did I go too far? Well I'm sorry...so we're good'.

My biggest issue with the reunion is that my tv is too big and high def is way to defining. Their God damn makeup artists should all have their hands cut off....or at the very least try to keep the foundation to just a small bottle per woman. For some reason I'm envisioning that a five gallon bucket was being passed around along with the dutchie.

[SwordQueen]

Brandi keeps saying "we" we're joking or playing around but what she doesn't recognize is that SHE may have been joking or playing around but Lisa wasn't....just like Eileen wasn't playing soap opera. Brandi is do self absorbed it's like she doesn't realize that other people aren't playing along.

 

Yes, exactly.  It irritates me that this is being re-written as Brandi and Lisa playing.  Neither Brandi or Lisa were playing, imo.  Brandi was straight up assaulting her in some Benzotini haze.  Lisa wasn't playing at all. 

Edited April 1, 2015 by SwordQueen

[AttackTurtle]

Kim just sat there while a woman called her little sister a c--t. We all know if the roles were reversed Kim would hold that over Kyle's head for years.

Lisa consistently told Brandi that their relationship would never be what it was. She owes Brandi nothing, yet Brandi acts put out that Lisa is treating her exactly as Lisa told her she would.

I don't believe this show can work if Brandi returns and I've been hoping that Kim would be gone for the past three seasons.

Brandi's on defense because she deserves to be, but damnit Kim needs to be put on the spot. When Andy greeted her, I could tell she was thinking she'd get the pat on the head ra-ra reunion treatment again. Oh I hope she gets called out on all of her crap. She's five years overdue.

[BlackMamba]

Wow.. wow.. wow

Brandi is the deflection queen!  All her actions are excusable huh.  I beg to differ!

 

Deflection 1: So she thought it was okay to call Bella, a 17 year old girl, with a life ahead of her an alcoholic because everyone else calls her one.  Well Brandi it's simple, you had a DUI at 38 and you still havent learned your lesson.  Let's

not forget the drunk Tampon string episode you had!

 

Deflection 2:  She brings up Kyle being a weed smoker as if smoking weed has killed anyone

unlike alcohol and/or prescription drugs has.  But this is Brandi so why do we bother with logic at this point!

 

Deflection 3: Brandi then says LVP is upset/jealous that Andre didn't want to fuck her.  A happily married woman, Brandi, ok. I don't believe he screwed Brandi which is evident by her face when Lisa V broke the news to everyone.  Then she deflects into trying to make LVP into a trashbag skank like her.  Yeah let's ruin another family like you did Adrienne's.

 

Deflection 4: Throwing wine, grabbing at someone's wrists, blocking, threatening, and         

slapping someone is all fun and games for Slumville!  But yet when Kyle wanted to defend herself or get to her sister who clearly was in trouble with her addiction she's a CUNextTuesday! 

 

Deflection 5: She takes a joke out of context from what Andy says to her and cops an

attitudes by telling him "fuck you."  Eddie isn't working Brandi - I'll be careful if I were you.  But it'S perfectly fine for her to be offensive to her other castmembers past and present not giving a damn if that hurts them, their careers, and other relationships off the show.  My Brandi you are such a victim aren't you!

 

Lisa V totally owned Brandi this part of the reunion!  Game recognizes game and Brandi
clearly took a big fat 'L'.  Glad LVP didn't holdback and she made up for last season's reunion coming for both Brandi and Yolanda!  Good for her for calling out the bullshit where Andy wouldn't had.

I really think that is what she will say...in the preview, Kim hinted to "telling the real story" about Kyle's daughter.

I'm guessing most of us have nieces and nephews. Can you imagine "outing" them (maybe underage drinking, or being with a boy, something of that nature) on national TV just to score a point on your sister? I know, I'm getting ahead of myself, but I'm actually getting scared for Alexia. Could Kim actually go there? And she's sober!
