S07.E15: Hong Kong Fireworks

[Tara Ariano]

Quote

The women head to Hong Kong, where Lisa Vanderpump's effort to stop animal cruelty continues. Meanwhile, Erika confides in Kyle about visiting her mother in Georgia, and past conflicts explode aboard a historic junk boat, pitting Dorit against Lisa Rinna against Erika.

[zulualpha]

These women should know by now to stay off boats.  Some shit always goes down, latest being Rinna's table dance/cry for help.

[nexxie]

Nice moments between Erika and Kyle, talking about their moms.

[Bronzedog]

Ken to Lisa - "You're taking 3 bags for 3 days?"

Lisa to Ken - "Erika's taking 3 bloody people."

[cincivic]

One reason I  don't care for Erika is the fact that she has to take her entourage with her everywhere. 

[poeticlicensed]

Erika usually dresses crazy, but she is the only one with any damn sense about how to dress for a 14 hour flight. 

[mbaywife123]

OMG!, Hong Kong is beautiful, that park where Erika & Kyle had their great conversation was stunning and serene at the same time.

I think it may be time to renew the old passport and plan a vacation!

[Straycat80]

I loved seeing the shots of Hong Kong, a place I will probably never get to see unless I win the lottery. The hotel looked beautiful too. 

Erika looked like she had two toilet paper rolls on her head at that first night dinner.

why do they keep bringing up these old who said what when and Rinna being a pill  addict. Who cares!? It's gotten so boring rehashing these old conversations , it's like beating a dead horse. Are they setting up Dorito to be the one they beat up on this season? Is this to get the focus off of Rinna saying stuff about Kim? 

I looked up stuff about the Yulin Dog Festival, it really is an awful, heartbreaking event. Good for LVP for trying to do something to stop it. 

[nexxie]

Yikes - looks like Erika's "You don't know what I go through every night" isn't part of her soap role.

Maybe she's talking about how she worries about her son's safety while he's on police duty - somewhere she spoke about listening for him to come home after work.

[Wings]

I give Rinna's props for wearing sneakers and comfortable clothes on the Junk ride.

[nexxie]

That bag o' pills was Rinna's storyline prop - guess it worked!

Of course she does. She's so insecure and a MAJOR cb.

[mbaywife123]

Good grief, here goes Rinna again trying to make a story line for herself about her "oops "here's my pre -planned bag of "pills" that I always carry with me and when no one really gave a shit about it she is trying hard to make it a "thing".

Also looks like Eileen is trying to distance herself from Rinna and her narratives but Eileen is boring as hell this season maybe she is trying to protect her soapy image.

Maybe she (the gold digger) has to go through every night is sleeping with an old, fat db.

Congratulations Erika and Rinna, I'm now defending Dorit. At no point did Dorit ever make it seem like she thought Rinna had a drug problem. Dorit always thought Rinna's mom bag of vitamins, cold meds, and whatever else was funny. And fucking Eden is so desperate to get back into people's good graces that she makes it seem like Dorit was calling Rinna a druggie instead of what Dorit was actually doing, which was wondering how on earth Rinna could say Kim is "not sober" and "close to death" and have no memory of it.

I'm glad Dorit stayed on Rinna and her 6th sense/someone told me nonsense. 

I'm constantly annoyed by Erika's need to cart her squad around wherever they go. We've seen housewives hire on location makeup and hair people. I guess there is something about Erika's unbelievably pedestrian sense of style that requires a certain familiarity and expertise. I've thought she looked stunning once this season--at the Gatsby party. I think there is some really compelling footage connected to Erika Jayne, but it doesn't involve Erika at all. I'm always curious about what her token gays get up to when Erika is filming RHoBH. Also Mikey's lips are horrifying.

Hong Kong did look beautiful. Unfortunately, we had to experience it with these assholes.

Good for LVP for doing something about Yulin. I did think it was interesting that Vanderpump Pets came before the involvement with Yulin.

Dorito cemented my intense dislike for her with that "you don't talk enough" line. Being a reserved person myself, I hate when people make comments like that. Erika is right--she talks too much and what she says is usually dumb and boring. Dorito loves to gossip and be all fakey nice. Who wants to open up to someone like that? Erika is smart; Dorito is a twit.

[Bronzedog]

Didn't Kim also say the same exact thing -"You don't know what I go through at night" a couple of seasons ago? 

[rustyspigot]

Eileen and her "MILF" shirt. No.

I did like that Kyle and Erika wore sensible shoes for their trek through the park.

Rinna can't milk the Kim story so "let's talk about my bag of pills, Dorit."

Eden is just ready to have a fight with anyone who will acknowledge she is around.

[chick binewski]

I can't with these women. LVP makes Davidson seem likable, Erika makes Eden seem likable and Dorit makes everyone look almost angelic. I know Rinna's done the same 'did I say that' routine and then some but Dorit doing the bob & weave and 'I don't remember' more than once as the new chick just bugs. Maybe much of it is due to PK and being LVP's hired gun but I have no patience for her.

Low points of the evening: Davidson's snakeskin jacket and Eden's pompom hair. High points: Rachel f*cking Maddow.

Next week: do we find out what Erika goes through at night? Does Tom making her dress up like Erin Brockovich for sexytime?

Yes she did!

I think Kim was talking about her 100%  deluded pain and Erika is talking about Tom's actual wrinkly, sagging old man ass and ballsack.

[enchantingmonkey]

Did Lisa Rinna think up the bag-a-pills "plot line" all on her own, or was she coached by the producers?  Enquiring Minds would like to know.  That it was so blatantly over-filled with pills makes me think she came up with it all on her own.  That woman wouldn't know subtlety if it came up and bit her on her deflated upper lip.  

The travel porn was delicious.  

The comfortable clothes on the flight made sense but why did it seem like Erika was wearing her pajamas everywhere she went?  

I like the conflict between Erika and Dorit, as it seems to driven by philosophical differences rather than Lisa Rinna being given free rein over the writer's room.  

[PumpkinPK]

Not an Ericka fan, but she has an amazing dermatologist/plastic surgeon.

Eden, on the other hand, is positively frightening.  Between her busted boobs (which she's not embarrassed to display for some reason), and the waxwork on her face, she is downright creepy looking.  I almost screamed at that unfiltered, up-close selfie of her and Lisa Rinna at 30 min in.

[Sai]

Why are these two assholes, Lisa and Erika, on Dorit?  She seems like such a happy go lucky person.  She never said Rinna had a drug problem.  How dare Rinna get all huffy about something Dorit didn't even say when Rinna herself just got busted for saying terrible things about Kim and Kyle.  She's got a lot of friggin nerve.

It's so stupid that Erika has to take her squad with her everywhere she goes.  Is she really that ass ugly that she needs an entire team to make her presentable?  It's sad when she has to take all these people with her to make her beautiful but the other ladies look a zillion times better than her and they dress themselves and do their own makeup.  Ha!

I can't stand Erika.  She's such a snob and she actually has absolutely nothing to be snobbish about.  She ditched her kid and married an old rich dude.  Yeah, that's a real accomplishment.  NOT!  Erika and Rinna can both jump off that boat with cement shoes on and I would rejoice!

Sometimes I think Eden looks pretty good but that was the best laugh I've had all week.  Thanks!

Kim was talking about her son with a mental illness and her dying ex-husband best friend.  Pretty hard to top those two things that keep you up at night.

Lisa only found out about the Yulin Dog Festival 3 years ago and has become an important spokesperson for the group fighting it. She/Ken started working on opening her Pet place last year but she has designed/sold pet products (toys/beds) for a number of years.

The irony being that she seems to take a tone of looking down her nose at people who are overtly superficial, yet we don't see her leave Los Angeles without that clown crew.  Did she take one of them to Mexico?

[howiveaddict]

Ok, who told Rinna.  Eileen wasn't there.  LVP and Kyle were mad at her.  I don't think Erica would have. They don't really seem to talk. It had to have been Eden or the crew.  

I did chuckle that Rinna had no one to talk to as she packed, except her dog.  And the dog didn't give a shit what she packed.

Erika was hell bent on starting a fight with Dorit on the boat. She, Erika is Rinna's source, lied to Rinna about what Dorit said and about Dorit's intent and I have to ask WHY? Is she doing this to help take the heat off of Rinna about Kim or is there something I missed because Erika flat out lied to make Dorit the bad guy.

I remember at least three different conversations where I thought Dorit was implying that Lisa had a pill problem.

I remember one where LvP was making noise about not believing what Dorit was implying.

I remember another where LvP was delighting in what Dorit was implying.

I remember another where Kyle gasped over it.  Or if not gasped, i remember a guppy sucking for air expression..

So I don't think its wrong of Eden, Lisa R, and Erika to think Dorit was making veiled or outright insinuations.

Erika told Rinna, which is why she is so mad right. Now the question becomes is WHY did she lie to Rinna about Dorit, because she did lie to her. Why is it so important to Erika to get the others to dislike Dorit?

Dorit never said that Rinna is an addict, that she was/is high or that she has a problem with pills. Never.

Dorit doesn't kiss Erika's ass.  Dorit and her husband are close with a real live iconic musical talent and I believe Erika feels insecure.  There is room for them to repair the relationship.  Dorit should never try and compete with personal services hacks with Erika.  The other thing Erika had a party without food that featured her dreadful music, Dorit had two really cool parties with food and entertainment. ERika has a lot more money, Dorit and P give better parties.

Erika  just explained why she doesn't like Dorit, she thinks that she is full of phoney bullshit but I think it is because Dorit will not bow down to queen Erika.

[Wings]

Dorit did ask Eden (and others) if she thought Rinna had a pill problem.  Now she has the same memory problem as Rinna.  Oh the irony.

Yes, Dorit tried to make it a joke, one that was encouraged by Kyle, Eileen and Rinna. Too bad Erika has no sense of humor.

Dorit mentioned it to Lisa first, then she told the story in Mexico, stressing that it was funny and she asked Eden if Rinna made those comments about Kim under the "influence" after Eden complained that Rinna "didn't remember saying anything" and that Eden was not making up what Rinna said. At no tome did Dorit say that Rinna was an addict.

Which was why I was scratching my head a bit. I don't want to tell LVP how to run her business but I would think that her goal would be not to contribute to China's tourism based on the Yulin Festival. This episode, much like most RH trips, are travel promotion, complete with pimping the resort they stay out and the activities they engage in making viewers interested in going there. Affecting tourism to China is a bigger way to be heard. 

Erika pays airplane tickets, room and board for 3 extra people to look like that? Erika should've saved her money. Most of those looks were doing too much and approaching costume level. And why does she need slug lipped Mikey there? Just to stand around while she is getting her hair and makeup did and call her bitch and tell her how fabulous she is? I still dig Erika but I hate to see colossal wastes of money like that. As last episode showed she looks much prettier and younger when she is lighter on the makeup and hair. In the chair, she looked about one coat of foundation away from being Baby Jane.

Dorit is upset that LisaR claims someone said Dorit alluded that LRinna is a drug addict. Bringing it up multiple times on camera with everyone in the cast is suggesting there may be a pill problem.

But I suspect we will have to agree to disagree.

Did Dorit ever use the word addict?  That is a big word.  There is no alluding to it.

I'm quoting WWHL here - alluding that LRinna was an addict was a clip they just replayed-  (because I don't care to go back and watch).  No one on the show seems to be saying she used the word addict.  Only that she alluded to the idea without saying it.  I'm saying I agree that Dorit made that implication on multiple occasions and not that she said the word.

And its not ok to imply it either.  And its wasn't some funny joke or story she was telling.

Because Dorit is a superficial snob and nitwit who is desperate to create drama - out of nothing.  She went on and on about Panty-gate - gossip from person to person.  She continued to make a big deal out of what Erika wore to her birthday.  She claimed Erika only complimented her 1 time (yet footage prove otherwise).

I like Erika, but having to have a glam squad with her at all times is just ridiculous.  I almost wish she'd get cut after this season so I'd never have to see her thirsty, obnoxious assistant on my TV screen ever again.  

[Tiggertoo]

For all the money she has and her glam squad, I thought Erika's outfits in HK were horrible and the makeup way over the top.  She made a comment about not wanting to wear a little skirt on the flight but I didn't notice any of the others in skirts.

 

I remember Doritos telling LVP about the baggie of pills but I forget what was said soecifically.

[Sai]

Even if Dorit did "allude" to it, why Is Rinna so outraged?  When Rinna was talking about Kyle and Kim she didn't allude to anything....she outright said that Kim is not sober, close to death and Kyle enables her yet she got forgiven lickity split.  Why?  Because she "owned" it?  My ass!  She didn't own anything.  She denied and denied and the when she knew she couldn't deny anymore she made excuse after excuse as to why she said those things.  You'd think after what she did and how she was forgiven so quickly that she'd give Dorit some slack.
