S07.E09: Harry's Meat And Gatsby's Fete

[Tara Ariano]

Quote

Eileen is thrilled when Erika wows with her reading at "The Young and the Restless." Also: Lisa Rinna hosts a barbecue, with Harry doing most of the work; Kyle throws a "Great Gatsby" bash, but Eden causes a scene when she sounds off about Kim.

[FlyingEgret]

I really want one of Harry Hamlin's pies...

[whydoievencare]

There's something really off about Eden - sitting talking with Dorit at the beginning of the episode, she's weirdly intent.  No blinking.  No affect.  Claiming that Kim has a problem because she wasn't paying attention to anything Eden was saying and "that's a red flag".  Eden's really on a mission here (in her own mind, anyway).  And exactly what do people have to do to make Eden feel that they are kind and welcoming?  Also, if Eden is just a "friend", why is she getting so much air time?

Because nobody else is interesting?

[imjagain]

I love that Dorit's boiled potato /egg shaped hubby recommended the trainer to dorit!  The f'en nerve!!! 

I was impressed that Harry and Lisa's  food looked yummy! 

I know Eileen is not a favorite,  but I really enjoy Eileen and Erika's friendship!

No Kyle.  You can't control the moon.

But if you really want to have a party under a full moon, you could consult a lunar calendar.

Science!

All right.  Someone needs to send me Eden's address so I can fly to California and slap her upside the head.  Obviously no one else is going to do it.

And, how inconsiderate was it for Dorit and Pigpen to arrive at Kyle's house and not throw a ball for Bambi?  She opened the door for them and everything. 

[dosodog]

I love you WalnutQueen.

Perfect!  And the correction was absolutely needed! :D

Because I think originally she was suppose to be part of the main cast.  But as filming progressed, it became obvious to BRAVO that she wasn't a good fit.  Relegating her to "friend" status considering the amount of screen time she has most likely mean she won't be back next season.

Who's bright idea was it to bring Eden on this show? She's so boring  and stalker-ish with Kim and Kyle. Kyle was right when she said every conversation with her is like therapy session. But I absolutely loved when the dog, Lola, took a big dump behind Eden when she was talking. I'm not a fan of LVP but I liked when she told Eden she'd stick her foot up her ass if she continued to talk smack about Kyle. 

I'd like to go to  a BBQ at LisaR's and Harry's house too, the food looked good! 

Vacation porn next week in Mexico!

[ivygirl]

That party looked like so much fun. Everyone looked great. Kim actually looked ok and seemed better than I've seen her.

Glad Eden is throwing Rinna under the bus. Pretty rich that she was criticizing Eden for bringing up private matters at a party... when she was the one who brought up "enabling" and the death's door crap. And I don't care if her daughter is walking with Gigi. That cat-that-ate-the-canary look Rinna wore was too much. I hope she's finally  forced to OWN IT!!!!

[Sai]

PK won major points for me tonight when he compared Eileen and LisaR to the two old muppet guys in the balcony.  Bwahahaha!!!!  They were so insulted.  Heehee.

Oh, I never considered that!  Thanks.

[Snappy]

If Kim paid someone to style her for Kyle's party she needs to get her money back. She looked like a doddering fool coming down those stairs. And those shoes?! Vanderpump is giving off a dowager queen vibe. I loved when PK compared Rinna and Eileen to Waldorf and Astoria, the muppets, because it's true! Thought everyone else looked good, and especially love how EJ knows who she is. She really owned the gangster moll. Eden is on something, and the rest of us are going to need to be if she doesn't either lighten up or move on.

Eden needs a swift kick on the shins.

If you go by the productions into, Rinna introduced Eden to the group. Also, it is Rinna that created and is feeding Eden's obsession with all things Kim/Kyle! Rinna and Eileen are n WWHL tonight. I guess Andy thought they should get first crack at spinning their BS about Kim/Kyle.

Yes she does and Rinna needs bashed over the head for filling Eden's head with nonsense about things that don't concern either one of them. LOL

[farmgal4]

I've met a few Eden's while in recovery.  She's the one that people run from both before and after 12-Step meetings.  You're making recovery look really bad, Eden, so please, just STFU.

[tabloidlover]

For fuck's sake, will someone shut Eden up already?  She is killin me.   Every time I see her enter the screen, my eyes roll back in my head.  I can't even control it!  She is way too much.

[enchantingmonkey]

Even Harry Hamlin making pies presents Rinna with an opportunity to name drop.  She's so desperate to be one of the cool kids.  

The Gatsby party was better than the White parties.  

The look on Kyle's face when Eden approached her at the Gatsby party was priceless.  I couldn't stop laughing.  Her facial expressions are one of the reasons I love Kyle Richards.  There, I said it.  

Rinna really set-up Eden when she filled her ear during that shopping trip, and what makes it even more cruel is that it's triggered Eden's (likely unresolved) feelings about her own sister.  It seems to be the main reason for Eden inserting herself into Kim and Kyle's business, and I can't wait for the shit to hit the fan!  Love to hate Rinna!

I would say that's a bit lower than where she really needs a swift kick!  

[racked]

I actually enjoyed dorit during her little workout session. She's ridiculous and her husband truly does look like Humpty Dumpty but she can be fun! 

Erika looked so gorgeous at the party. Girl should rock that red lip more often. 

Kyle and Vanderpump as BFFs is always my favorite storyline! Eden seems so confused and like she's literally in an alternate universe so much of the time. Kyle calling her hugs long and awkward right to her face was hilarious. Also cute was Mauricio popping up to defend Kyle when he heard someone called her Kim's enabler. 

I love Harry Hamlin but I do not want to see the Rinna offspring in THs. Gigi did not need that shit to rule the supermodel Instagram world and it's embarrassing that they're so desperate.

Rinna' daughters have annoyed me from the episode a few seasons ago when they went back to her hometown to visit and they made the comment about the "chubs" who lived there. But tonight, the blonde one, (Delilah?),  was on my last nerve with the one word sentence talk: I'm. Walking. In. A. Show. With. Gigi. And that may have been in the preview sorry, but whatever they talked about tonight was said with the same pauses in between each word. What is that about? The sister does it too. Please no more THs for these two for many reasons.

And it takes a lot for me to feel bad for Kim Richards, so thanks a lot show killer Eden for pushing me to that extreme.

Would love to attend that Gatsby party, that spectacular mansion and view, the clothes, and the food. The crab or lobster whatever it was looked amazing. Same for Harry Hamlin's BBQ spread and those homemade blueberry pies.

Sorry it's only cause they are my absolute fav  - it's Statler and Waldorf.

Erika looked awesome. Though I thought more 30's maybe?

Kyle has had that look on her face for more than the Gatsby party.  She looked practically ill at Rinna's too.

I don't think Eden is doing this because Rinna stirred up feeling about her own sister.  She strikes me as one of those people who "overcome" addiction or figure out weight loss or healthy eating and need to impart their superior knowledge to everyone they perceive as sharing the problem they "overcame".  Suddenly they view themselves as the nearest thing to a self help guru.  Generally, I also think its a sign that their own recovery isn't as on solid footing as they think it is.

That or the producers assigned her to stir shit up with Kyle and Eden is a combination of desperate and unoriginal that doesn't allow her to change tactics.

Eden is very strange. She seems dead set on pinning Kim as still using/drinking. Lisa rinnas mouth is still going this season apparently.

This season seems more scripted to me in regards to the new people. Like they've been told to side with kyle/Kim or eden etc.

Love Rinna's backyard. Erika looked gorgeous at the Gatsby party.

This says Eden is 44. To me she looks like she's early 50's! 

[zoeysmom]

Oh gee Rinna-what ever happened to owning it-you created the shitstorm-  http://www.bravotv.com/the-real-housewives-of-beverly-hills/season-7/blogs/lisa-rinna/lisa-rinna-my-own-big-mouth-can-speak

[Thumper]

Okay, I don't read the blogs but I too wonder if Eden is for real.  Did the producers send her in as a plant to stir up trouble?  Otherwise, I can't believe how clueless she is in reading the room.

I thought the Harry Hamlin barbecue looked delicious!

[Jel]

Eileen and Rinna = Romy and Michele.  Especially at the end, near the porta potties.

[chick binewski]

I don't care about Dorit's body dysmorphia or PK trying to become a thing. I don't care about Eden's impression of Kim, who isn't even a cast member. I don't care about the model children. 

I think RHOC has lasted with a pretty steady level of interest because they know they have to show the conflict. But Rinna was on Watch What Crappens last week and said that the only reason why she agreed to be a cast member is to sell stuff and to go on the show for any other reason is nuts. I don't necessarily want to see glasses being thrown, But it's clear everyone on BH is working around divulging their private life and sometimes doing it at the expense of others.

I did love the Hamlin/Rinna yard. The interior of Kyle's house with Rinna's view would be amazing.

I'll agree that Eden is behaving like a self-appointed self-help guru, and she's being rather annoying about it.  But I still think that when Rinna told her that Kim could be on the brink of death during the shopping trip that it triggered something in Eden.  How could it not?  Her sister died from an overdose, right?  And with the way she brings up her sister so often, it's hard to believe she doesn't have unresolved feelings about her.  She even said that maybe she could have prevented what happened to her sister in one of her THs tonight.  

[Rina99]

Goddamnit, Eden has managed to do something that I did not think was possible, have me on Kim Richard's side on something. She's so thirsty and obvious that it's physically painful to watch her. Eden has also managed to make Dorit seem less annoying in comparison. PK can still go, though.

I think her new BFF Rinna set her up for the fall.  Edens clue should have been to ask Rinna what she did to Kim.  Rinna did give the big apology about being mean.  She chose to blame the drunk and called her behavior an attack.

I can only hope! When even Rinna and Eileen are saying it's time to back off, you know this girl is the one who needs therapy. Kyle was right on when she said if Eden wants therapy, the price is $200. She can not let go of this, and she's making inaccurate comparisons to her own situation. Kim may or may not be completely sober, but a virtual stranger inserting herself in the most inappropriate ways and times isn't going to help.

I  see Rinna's off in a tangent again next week. These women wear me out.

[rustyspigot]

I think it was "Maurice" (KIm) presenting the unfinished property for future sale.

Eden can't read a room (or backyard) to save her life.

HA! At Kim not recognizing Erika. Erika did look drag version gangster moll Mikey: NEXT LEVEL!!!!, but I wouldn't say Jean Harlow.

Harry Hamlin's BBQ looked tasty. So wasted on ladies who don't eat.

[breezy424]

Crap.  Kim is back....again.  Which makes Eden back with her crusade to 'help'  Kim and Kyle.  Go away Kim and shut up Eden.

On a side note, I've got a bad knee.  Going down steps without a railing is challenging at times.  But of course I wouldn't have worn shoes like Kim.  Heck, I wouldn't wear shoes like Kim was wearing even if I had the best knees in the world.

Sorry PK, you're not funny.

We had a Bambi sighting.  Yay.  I hope the dog who went out the door was ok.  I expected a phone call at the party about him being lost or something.

I'd go to LR's house for a barbecue....if I could wear jeans and a t shirt like normal people.

Could Erika's appearance on Eileen's show be milked even further? 

I kept wanting to tell LVP to flick the ashes off her cigarette before it just dropped and burned the outfit she was wearing.  Bravo to her for defending Kyle to Eden.

Those were really nice porta potties.  Those I could handle.

[Thumper]

Right, those porta potties??  The best I have seen.   Not a problem.

[enchantingmonkey]

With the way Rinna and Eileen were bitching about it, I thought they were walking up to one of those big blue potties that smells like a sewer.  

[zoeysmom]

Eden is breaking down the show: 

First lie, I highly doubt Kim Richards, established star at age 20 was hanging with 11 year old Eden.  Keep digging Eden-Kathy Hilton has your number.

[sasha206]

Am I the only one who doesn't think Eileen is a good actress?  I'm not basing it on the read; she always seems wooden or over done.

And yikes, the personal trainer's body was not something I'd aspire to.  Dorit's is much more pleasing to the eye than grisly steroidal looking mess of a trainer.

[AttackTurtle]

I think Eden is pretty consumed with sobriety be it her own or someone else's; hence Rinna claiming that Kim was near death was really just feeding the beast.  There is no good way for Rinna to spin this & im happy to see that she's going to get called out on it.

i figure that the party was held at the gorgeous house because it would provide good word of mouth for potential buyers & I imagine would be a tax write-off.  

I like Dorit.  She's completely nuts, but I actually like her relationship with her husband and I love her style.  

I really liked how Mauricio immediately chimed in to defend Kyle when she the comment of her being an enabler was brought up.

Eileen is much more like able when she's not dwelling on her dislike of Lisa V.

I think former cast member Marisa Zanuck (at least, I think it was her) once said a person would only agree to be a part of and stay on this due to one or more of the following reasons: they need the money, they're trying to sell a product/build a brand/give their company or business a platform/etc, or they're just trying to expand their fame.

[breezy424]

Oh, and what was with that scene with Dorit and Eden at the barbecue?  Dorit's top button was closed.  Then it was opened.  Then it was closed....  Hm....
