S05.E21: Reunion Part 2

[Neeners]

Kim has always said she doesn't watch the show, so that's why she doesn't know anything.   It's like Kyle saying "I can show you the cancelled checks", if Kim hasn't seen them, then they don't exist.   Don't confuse that poor girl with facts and reality!!!   

This is just one more thing Kim lies about.  She made some comment tonight about "watching the video tapes", or something along those lines. 

[Lakewood27]

Oh Good Lord! It's going to be so nasty between Kyle and Kim next week. I'm ascared!

[FlyingEgret]

I feel bad for everyone who played the "mean" drinking game -- take some ibuprofen before going to bed folks...

[SwordQueen]

Wow, Kim is starting to mock Kyle's daughter now?   

 

"Just a little bite on her finger" .... she had that nasty, mocking tone in her voice when she said that, too.  

 

Kim Richards is a terrible human being.  

[bosawks]

I was actually thinking that "You're so mean" was going to be funny but that was all sorts of effed up.

[SnarkKitty]

Livid. Just livid.

 

Nice Andy. Save the packages that prove shit for the side, but don't show during the conversations where we can see the reactions and settle things once and for all.

Seeing that Brandi/Kyle interaction again is infuriating, Brandi bodyblocking Kyle while slurring "sthap it, sthap...don't fucking touch me;" doesn't she realize bodyblocking IS a touch? I wish Kyle were a little bit taller and a whole lot less a punk. Brandi would have been on her ass if that were me.

And that's just BULLSHIT that Brandi is not being made to own anything of her part, and Andy isn't bringing it up with this whole Kim and the drug talk ... talk. It's pissing me off and it shouldn't. Oh wait, it should - because I'm being jerked around. It's clear she isn't going to be called to task. Wonder who threw the fit, Brandi or Kim?

 

And Kim, NO, you didn't say you were sorry, ever, to anyone. God. Just ... fall down a flight of stairs already. Comatose would be a good, sober look for you.

ETA: one more Aggh!

I guess I do see the point about Brandi not getting to film with her kids, I do take that comment back. But the only time Andy seems to say anything positive is about Brandi. At least he's not defending Kim-however, he does shush anyone talking over her.

[dbell1]

If fighting alley cats had Botox and could point, there'd would be no need for this screech fest.

But feral cats are more polite. And don't take illegal catnip and blame other dying cats.

I couldn't believe that canker sore was sitting there blaming Monty for her actions, yet again.  She will toss anyone under the bus to escape responsibility, anyone.  

[motorcitymom65]

I don't appreciate the sort of kowtowing from Andy to Brandi: "Brandi, which HW would you like to see fired?" Excuse me? Why is Brandi the only one he asks this? "Brandi, you apologized after throwing wine at Eileen. Do you think she gave you a fair shake?" Again - what?!

Did Andy make Brandi the co-host of this reunion? He keeps throwing everything over to her for her opinion and analysis. It's like what she thinks is of the utmost importance.

I like Lisar but I really wish she would stop jumping in all the time.

[Lakewood27]

I was actually thinking that "You're so mean" was going to be funny but that was all sorts of effed up.

Kyle is deeply, deeply hurt. It sounds like Kim is now using her children as weapons against their aunt. I actually got a lump in my throat when Kyle said she didn't need to attend her niece's wedding, when it's obvious that's not true. Just like the scenes of Rinna with her ailing parents, the real family drama, not scripted by Bravo, always hits close to home.

I did appreciate the vehemence in which she defended her marriage and family. The mama bear in me approved. 

[njbchlover]

Okay - I can't watch NY and read here, too....I will back later, and there will probably be ten pages I need to catch up on!!  :-)

[Chicklet]

And how is taking prescription narcotics belonging to someone else NOT a slip up. You start the clock over Kim darling sorry. Ass that she is.

And I have real sympathy for Kyle since I have the same problem not crying when something so frustrates and angers me. I've had to deal with drunks in my family who remember nothing and who actually have yelled at me that my problem is that I "remember everything". That line actually stopped my crying and I started to laugh.

I don't envy Kyle having to deal with her crazy ass sister.

I usually find Kyle's boo hooing really annoying, but that was so sad to me. I can't watch Kim next year, I won't do it. And she looks like deep fried shit.

 

You know, I enjoyed Lisa R for the most part tonight, but she's got that certain something that could easily make her a replacement in bringing the "conflict" that Brandi specializes in.  Watch your back, Brandi.

[LotusFlower]

It's ok so long as you have a reason.. Says so right here in the Narcotics Anonymous handbook. On page.... um, let me get back to you.

LisaR has enough "trashy" to bring it, but can also fit in nicely when she needs to.   Something Brandi will never be able to do.  

[Cranky One]

Kim is one nasty piece of shit. Brandi's face has been frozen into perma bitch face.

I thought Kyle was at her niece's wedding? Or is this a different one?

[SwordQueen]

This is why it was a bad idea to play one right after the other.   I'm still on BH-time and can't focus on NY.  It's on in the background right now but I'll have to catch the second showing to really pay attention.

I'm sick to death of the Andy and BG reunion. I don't think any of these women will tape any more meaningful scenes with BG if she stays on this show. The handwriting is on the wall. You'd think Andy would be able to read the room.

 

You know, I didn't mind Lisa R or Eileen jumping in because most of the time they were calling out the very stuff Andy won't.

[The Mighty Peanut]

Persnickety, I hope your goddamn birthday is 100% fun.

[LotusFlower]

Of course. My mistake. Kim was quoting from the one written by Brandi Glanville, bestselling author of such other books as "Drinking and Tweeting..."

My breakdown

KYLE

Bless you and Lisa R for bringing up methgate! My how quick do they forget!!! Just proves how toxic of a friendship Kim and Brandi actually have. Thanks for bringING up how Brandi has not only had fights with the cast past and present but also with Nene/Kenya/Cynthia at the Bravo Upfronts a few years ago and guess what Brandi was drunk and on something then too.

Now Kyle we know your sister is "mean" but damnit you need to go to Shade School 101! Or toughing up training. You sounded like Susan Banks (Days of our Lives) "mean mean mean" in every sentence! Did you not read most of your Twitter mentions/Facebook comments prior to Feb 20th??? You had(have) the support. You been given the biggest green light to tell off Kim for this reunion! And you revert into endless tears and being anxiety stricken. Sighs.

Let me tell you something Kyle - cut off Kim for real this time! No good can come from delaying her bottom. Cut her off financially. Stop coddling her and trying to be her hero when she dont want saving. Stop getting her back on the show when all does is take the money and keeps hurting you emotionally. Stop feeling gulity because Kim chooses to be a known drug head/drunk, thats not your fault. If Kathy wont allow Kim to bottom out then turn over your rights to her since Kim reveres her so much! Let Kim be Kathy's problem I bet Kathy won't last long because her children are as messed up as Kim. Walk away, save whatever sanity you have left and get some toughing up training!

KIM

I think she has eclipsed Carlton and even Brandi for most disliked HW of this franchise and close to the top in most disliked wives for me! Im legitimately tired of her. I find her deplorable. Exhausting. Jealous hag. Scum. A taker. Troublesome. A straight liar. And most importantly full of shit.

She dont appreciate a single thing Kyle has done for her when she chose to live off drugs/alcohol and semi-quit acting. The fact she wants to dis-invite Kyle to her daughter's wedding out of spite is the most vindictive, calculating, and heartless bullshit. Kyle loves Kim's four children and Kim uses them as pieces to a chess match - repugnant! I bet good money, Kyle probably helped raise them when they were little when Kim was strung out!

I cant look at Kim without wanting to come through my TV and giving her a piece of my mind. That how mad I get now. Please Andy do us viewers a huge favor - fuck what Kathy, Kyle and any of those Hiltons say - and terminate this bitch once and for all! Get her off this show.

BRANDI

You still a deflecting little bitch.

You telling Rinna not to come for your kids. Take your own damn advice! Did you do the same with Bella?? Adrienne's sons?? Hell no you didnt. But you and Kim really showed you can have some serious double standards. Y'all the only two bitches who can be the "life of the party" but your life of the party means ruining it for everyone. The nerve of you to say glass got all over you in Amsterdamn and it was assault during the table explosion and pretend Kim didnt say anything bad about Harry. Then seconds later you threaten Kyle AGAIN. You are a joke! So it's ok for you to be violent and evoke your warth on others but someone puts you in your place it's time for you and junkie Kim to claim victim status... Fuck both yall.

LISA R & EILEEN

Ive already explained my love for the both you. Glad both of you didn't hold back and came out swinging. Call the spade of spade like it should. Lisa R asked everything we all were thinking "How many days were you in the hospital, Kim? What did Harry do?" Even next week with the text message threats I wont even be phased because Kim makes me so sick I could give a shit. She might need that asswhooped anyhow.

LISA V

I couldn't help but appreciate LVP and Kyle laughing at Brandi over the house crap. If you couldn't tell how envious and dumb Brandi was in that moment, get a fresh pair of eyes! That house listing comment is recycled crap from season 3 when LVP said that about Kyle-Adrienne being friends and Brandi tried using it. Lisa V and Kyle's poo talk was funny. I really hope they dont let anyone come inbetween their friendship again. I bet Brandi was somewhere fuming that LVP/Kyle can talk about their bowel movement without viewers being upset or judging.

Yes, I was wondering the same thing. I think Kim has more than one daughter.

[venusnv80]

I missed most of it of course and have to watch the rewatch, but Kim...I said this last week and I feel the same way this week. How can she even THINK to bring Kyle's kids in this? Not only are they kids (yeah, some are adults but still), but they are her family. Aunts are usually the women that you love the most (and they usually love their neices) next to your mom in your family--how could she be so nasty and rude about the bite? The bite? From the pics in the hospital and the news story it looks like the dog tried to take her hand off. 

 

Kim is on drugs. There is no way that she is sober.

For anybody that didn't hear, apparently the audience booed Brandi when her name was mentioned on Andy and Anderson Cooper's first tour stop. I hope that means something, because he was certainly sympathetic to her tonight, and I'm really sick of it.

[hypnotoad]

 

cut her off financially.

 

This. Kyle needs to do this immediately. I mean cut Kim out of her life completely. No more talking. No more emotional abuse. Don't give that lying user any money and see what happens then. Because I'm pretty sure good sister Kathy won't be lining up to support Kim.

 

 

You telling Rinna not to come for your kids. Take your own damn advice

 

What makes BG so damn hypocritical is stuff like this. Did she think of Eileen's child when she was calling her a homewrecker all season? Or Lisa's kids when her BFF was saying crap about their family? Nope. Only when it's time to deflect from any convo about what is wrong with her does she bring up her children.

[LotusFlower]

Kim...I said this last week and I feel the same way this week. How can she even THINK to bring Kyle's kids in this? Not only are they kids.

Kim has ZERO empathy for anyone. She is perhaps the biggest narcissist I've ever seen.

[Carolyn15]

What is wrong with Kyle's face?  Botox?  It looks plastic

I just saw the very end but I was thinking the same thing. There is something odd/different about it.. 

[SwordQueen]

I feel like we've already been over alllllll of this bullshit from Kim and Brandi a million times already.  

They use the same excuses, deflections and nonsensical reasoning again and again.  

 

Kim:

You should have defended me. / Stay out of my business.

I didn't relapse. / I had a reason.

Don't talk about me. / Let's talk about you.

I said I was sorry. / Well, I'm saying I'm sorry now.

 

 

Brandi:

Don't talk about my kids. / Let's talk about your kids.

How come you can talk about my drinking? / Let's talk about your pot use.

I threw some wine because I became carried away and it was a mistake. / You smashed a wine glass because you're crazy and committed assault and battery.  

You have to forgive me. / You forgave Kyle.

[SFoster21]

Livid. Just livid.

Much admiration for your posts, SN.

However, imo, these shows demonstrate that showing the videotape does not end a(n) (expletive deleted) thing. Denial is real and it is deep. And memory is tricky, especially if you were high.

[SwordQueen]

Oh and congrats to Brandi for realizing that antiques are, in fact, old.   One of the many Brandi-isms of the night.  

 

"[Eileen's] house has antiques and figurines, and, they're ... old."  

[RedheadZombie]

Everything's been said about Kim, so I won't repeat it. 

 

I think it was pretty stupid of Eileen to blame Brandi about outing her affair.  I've known about it for years, and I've never watched either of her soaps.  It's no secret, and I find her blaming Brandi for it as stupid as Kim blaming others for ruining her reputation.  And I was embarrassed for Eileen when she said her husband said she's not a home wrecker, she's a home maker!  Of course Vince is going to excuse away adultery and how much it hurts the spouse left behind - he did the same thing to his wife and kids!

 

Anyway, I haven't posted or criticized Eileen for it before, and I probably wouldn't have now, but the victim act irritated me.  If everyone should be accountable for their actions, that includes Eileen.  Own it.

 

I think Lisa R. was a little over the top saying Brandi was going after her kids by joking that Lisa did porn.  There are so many (and better) reasons to go after Brandi, why waste time with this petty stuff?

 

I'm irritated that Eileen and Lisa R. have made me look like a Brandi apologist.  I'm not.  I haven't liked Brandi from day one, and unlike many, I never once fell for her act.

 

Is this the first season Lisa hasn't gotten one of the two prime seats (next to Andy)?  I think the seating implies that Brandi is coming back next season.

 

And I forgot to mention this last week - Eileen's hair looked great all season, what the hell did she do to it for the reunion?   And conversely, Brandi's ratty hair actually looks good, although I don't care for the color.

[ticklemepink]

Yo, FUCK Kim Richards.

[aurora296]

I have to say, I just loved Eileen all season. The clincher that sealed my love for her was when she said she drives a Flex. I am one of three generations of a Ford family and that company puts food on my table, so good on you Eileen.

  

Her comebacks are calm, rational and dead on. I do believe Brandy is absolutely jealous of her life. I hope she does decide to come back next season because I will miss her of she doesn't. 

 

Kyle mentioned Brandy having problems with other celebrities like Kenya Moore on The Apprentice and Jay Mohr. What was the problem she had with Jay Mohr? I missed that one.

 

Alexa gets $450 a month allowance? Did I hear that right? It's all play money since all her needs are paid for by mom & dad. What could she possibly spend that much on? She doesn't have to put some away in a bank account to save for a car, since I'm sure she'll get one for a birthday present. And no, I don't believe Kyle's kids have touched a washing machine yet.

[hypnotoad]

 

What is wrong with Kyle's face?  Botox?  It looks plastic

 

I'm sure she did get a freshening up before the show, but to me more than anything I think her face looks odd because she's trying very hard to hold it together. Like she's trying to not show any emotion to most of the junk flying out of BG and Kim's mouths. I'm not saying she's completely succeeding in these efforts, but she is trying.

 

 

Or Adrienne's kids when she outed the surrogacy? Or Kyle's kids when she called her a f*cking c*nt? Or her bff Kim's kids when she called their mother a meth addict? Etc., etc...

 

Well yes and all of those examples too! Naturally. BG can dish it but cannot take it, just like Lisa R said tonight (and many many have pointed it out here too).

 

I also loved Kim bleating how Eileen should probably not comment about BG's situation with her ex's current wife. Right after BG was once again putting her two cents in about Eileen's relationship with her husband that BG knows nothing about.

 

Kim and BG are just the worst. The absolute worst.

 

 

I think it was pretty stupid of Eileen to blame Brandi about outing her affair

 

I'm not sure I agree Eileen was mad about that specifically. I think it was more about BG lying in regards to the wine toss. First it was because BG is a soap fan and then suddenly it morphed into the homewrecker stuff. Eileen didn't hesitate or lie about how she met her husband. But I think having BG running around to the press saying the wine toss happened because of Eileen's affair is ridiculous and it pissed her off. BG has absolutely no idea how things went down, what the state of either marriage was at the time and so on. Does BG hold Kim to these same standards that she cannot be friends with anyone who has ever cheated? It doesn't seem like it.

[Watermelon]

Yes, I was wondering the same thing. I think Kim has more than one daughter.

I think they were talking about the same girl. I got the feeling they never actually cancelled the destination wedding when Monty got sick, they just had an quickie one just in case.

[CaughtOnTape]

Just once I'd like to watch one of these and see one of these women, after getting caught point blank in a bold faced lie (I'm lookin at you Kim), turn to the person she just insulted most heinously and say "Ya know what?  It was an emotionally charged situation and I didn't remember it fully.  But clearly I said some very hurtful things to you and that is terrible.  I'm sorry for my behavior.  I have no excuse.  I'm hoping you can accept that.  But if you can't, I understand."

 

Because she was caught in a handful tonight....enough that no one should believe a fucking word that comes out of her mouth.

 

And as far as she and Brandi are concerned, shut the fuck up about defending each other.  If I have to hear Brandi explain away her behavior with "All of you do it too!!!" one more goddamn time.....

[bagger]

This.

I wish hubby would watch with me too. Nope nothing but mockery from him, ((shrugs)), oh well. Yeah, a little jealous of Persnickity :)

 

My husband pretends he's not watching but then he will reference something or react to something that's going on with the housewives. So I know he's watching. Two weeks ago I came home from work on a weekend and found Bravo on and one of the housewife shows running a marathon. He claims it was the channel that was on when he turned on the tv but me thinks not.

[chlban]

Congratulations to Kim, she has turned in to one of the most awful women ever on any of the Housewife franchises. Quite the accomplishment.

indeed stiff competition.

[missy jo]

Like most of the commenters here, I'm shocked that Andy is "Team Brandi." It's bizarre and slanted and at odds with what the viewers saw this season.

 

As for Kim, why was her drug storyline compressed into a couple of segments? Poker night was one issue and Amsterdam was another.

 

And there were zero viewer questions for Kim regarding her continued denial of a relapse, taking Monty's cancer medication, and #WDHD (Answer: Nothing!). Thank God Lisa R. brought it up, because apparently otherwise it would have gone un-remarked upon.

 

It was amazing that Kim continued to: 1) pretend to have apologized when she hasn't, 2) flat-out said "no" she did not feel the need to apologize to Lisa R., and 3) FINALLY got her actor's cue from Andy on the third try and realized she was supposed to turn to Eileen and give a poorly acted fake apology.

 

Last but not least, a massive shout-out to Lisa R. for suggesting Brandi get a tampon endorsement!

Edited April 8, 2015 by missy jo

[BlackMamba]

Im just sick of Kim how she doesn't want to apologize for her bullshit inflicts on others. Im over her "I worked very hard to stay sober" or "Focus on your own shit" statements. Proves shes not sober and it's a far cry from her a few seasons ago saying she needs to earn others trust back and be held accountable with her sobriety! UGH.

And OMG who paid attention how she tried to twist Poker Night and lie and say Kyle followed her in the bathroom! Then she tried it with pizza and how she tried making seem Kyle wanted her to stay for camera time. Kim went back in to say goodbye! And Kyle wanted her to bring her high down by offering her pizza. I cant with this woman. My blood just boils these days talking about Kim. God bless Kyle and Kim's kids for putting up with this for over three decades because I wouldn't had made it to the one year mark dealing with Kim's addict lying ass!

[parisprincess]

You know, I didn't mind Lisa R or Eileen jumping in because most of the time they were calling out the very stuff Andy won't.

 

I'm with you, hypnotoad.  Andy pissed me me off big time.  Brandi got to weigh in on everything and all the other ladies were asked not to interrupt Kim when she was blathering on and on.  Andy's favoritism was sure on display! 

[Mozelle]

I think Brooke got married last summer, and Whitney is engaged to be married.

[SwordQueen]

I think a lot of people knew about Eileen and Vince's beginnings.  I think what she meant was that it was 20-some years ago and isn't a part of their daily lives anymore -- since all of the adults get along -- and it was disruptive to their collective children to hear it being brought up by some furry-vested skank as if it were new, relevant news.  I'm sure even though most of us knew about it, Eileen and Vince's 7 year old son didn't and her step-kids might not have known details or whatever.  It was brought up in an attempt to hurt Eileen but it also hurt her children in the process.  Something Brandi accomplishes quite often.   

 

Same with Lisa R.  Lisa only brought up the porn comment after Brandi whined about being jokingly referred to as having a "trashy mom" look.  Lisa even said that she took Brandi's porn comment as a joke so why can't Brandi do the same.  That's when "can dish it but not take it" was said, which is true, Brandi can't handle anyone joking about her and her life, as she feels free to do to everyone else.
