Dorit said they bonded over Xanax.

Rinna opened herself up to the questioning when she pulled out her (BIG) baggie and I do think considering she had been questioning Kim's sobriety it was very insensitive and downright stupid especially with Eden whose sister overdosed at the bloody table.

If I'm wrong about Edens presence there somebody please correct me because I don't always stayed glued to the show with total absorption but I think she was there?!?

Yes - she gleefully attacked the bag and bragged that she could probably name every pill in it!

With three housekeepers they should damn well be keeping an eye on refills.

Rinna was not left alone, she was engrossed in a gossip Sesh with creepy PR guy. People often get up and move around when dinner is finished and there are several different lounge spaces to sit around and talk than at the dining table.

I know at the first chance, I would have gotten up from that table just to get away from Rinna.

After her disgusting behavior, I wouldn't allow Rinna in my orbit! Don't give me a gift for a grandchild and absolutely don't try and "air kiss" me! I'd put my hand up and ask her "wtf are you doing b!tch?" I have no patience or acceptance of someone who acts like a psycho one moment and all sweetness and light the next! ;-(

The plates were cleared with only chargers remaining with the napkins folded and some half drunk glasses. Perhaps they offered the choice of dessert elsewhere or they didn't want to eat dessert.

Dessert was being offered in the bathroom, apparently.

Of course those words must have been used if Rinna says so.

My husband doesn't wear lipstick so I still don't understand why they all left together. 

How do we know that they all left together? Maybe they just drifted out in small groups until Rinna (being entirely engrossed in her own conversation)  just realized that they were all alone at the table.

I also laugh at the idea that she can brag about spending 40k a month on trying to trick people into thinking she is something extra special?

That proves that she has no shame or respect for Daddy Warbucks' cash or hard work.

If you earn your own money?

You don't have to worry about your spouse finding out you are flashing your crusty old ass in public.

Maybe it's her own money she's spending? Just a thought...

I finally caught Kyle on WWHL...she looked stunning, I want her glam squad!  I was pleased to hear her hint how badly the reunion went with Rinna.  I seriously hope she is never forgiven for her constant crassness delivered with a loopy ass smile.  I am bummed I will miss the reunion tonight, it can't be helped. ?  

Btw I was quite happy to see nylons on both Kyle and Sarah M Gellar...I've always hated the bare leg look!

A total 180 from last season.

[kassa]

I like Eileen and I like Kyle and Erika has actually won me over this year, mostly because I'm a cold bitch, too.  And the one thing guaranteed to make me even colder is somebody acting like it's their personal crusade to warm me up and change me.  (Lisa VP is cold, too - she just sneers and says it's English humor)  

Anybody else notice that Dorit's Connecticut came back when she was shouting?  

Eden, Eden... it was good knowing you.  A valiant last ditch effort to save your place on the show, but when it's the last episode and I only ever remember you're on the show when you're on screen and I think "oh, there's the other one who's not the one who talks funny," your days are probably numbered.

Kim looked amazing.  Good for her. 

Rinna... not a fan.

PK - he started the whole pantygate thing in his desperation for camera time.  I actually don't think women (or men in kilts) should run around with their hoohas hanging out for all to see, so it was hard for me to be Team Erika on that one... until PK made it all about HIM.  That kitchen scene where he and Dorit ramped it up was disgusting, made all the more disgusting by knowing it was being filmed for broadcast.  So no prize for him swooping in to save his wife -- his hands were dirtier in this scenario than hers were, so it was his mess to clean up.  Dorit's rather simple, at best.  He manipulated that whole storyline into something that should never have gotten past a husband and wife snickering to one another in private.  Loved the elephant stomping music they played as he approached.

[Giselle]

I had hopes for Eden's outburst at Rinna at the party. I thought she was going to go after Rinna for winding her up and filling her head with "Kim's an addict with foot in the grave" then skedaddling whenever Eden brought it up or shifting blame when Rinna was called on it.

Instead it was about poor Eden's misgivings about giving her heart to Rinna and receiving nothing in return. Yawn.

Producers don't bring you back to resolve issues-that is what the Reunions are for.  Next seasons are for rehashing the same stuff over and over.

Everyone getting up from the table at the same time is very strange. From some of the posts here, it seems like everyone thinks that dinner was just over and that is why everyone got up. Rinna said nothing about dinner being done. If it were done, it wouldn't be strange for the table to clear. She said during the dinner someone mentioned to Dorit that she needed to "get touched up" and the table cleared. I don't think I've ever seen that happen before, but certainly I don't socialize to the extent these gals do. Still, I really think it was in poor taste for Rinna to broach the topic on camera with no proof. 

To ZM's point, they have it on film. During the last few reunions they seem to delight in showing us things to back up one HW or contridict another. Maybe they will show us the actual scene so we can judge whether or not it is as strange as it sounds to some. 

Assuming that Rinna speaks the absolute truth and recalls situations exactly as they happened.

Just speaking for myself, am not convinced that Rinna is the best person to depend upon for correct and truthful recall.

It all depends upon how much you trust Rinna.

I caught Dorit's real accent when she was screaming, too. She does it again during the reunion and must catch herself as she repeats with the same sentence with the fake accent. HA!

I agree with what you said about Erika.

Agree, Kim did look amazing - I still don't care for her. She is a nasty, entitled piece of work. 

Rinna - OMG I'm going to catch chit for this but I kinda like her. I like that she can laugh at herself, come clean with her Kim is near death lie (which I do think is the case if she starts drinking again) Sadly, she does not appear to following the program other than dragging a sober coach to one party.  I also read Dorit's blog...interesting that she doesn't actually say they were not doing drugs in the house/bathroom.  She kind of skirts around actually saying it did NOT happen. 

PK - AGREE 100%!!! He's just gross! I also question if any of them actually saw Erika's pretty little puss. Her legs were closed. How in the hell would they see anything? She has some meat on her bones (thighs). 

LOL @ the elephant stomping music. That cracked me up!!!

Damn...and this might get me blocked, but I CANNOT believe the sexism I've been seeing...a woman is a slut when she tries to improve herself, but a man is just "guys will be guys"?  WHATEVER Erika did, well.  Done deal.  Her son is now a police officer, that laughs at his mother and knows EJ is a persona....his MOTHER might be another person altogether.  And speaking of that split personality sit... has anyone heard of the "FATHER, SON, and THE HOLY GHOST???  Okay...have you ever been a daughter, a son, a brother, a sister, a mother, a father???  YOU ARE DIFFERENT PEOPLE TO DIFFERENT SITUATIONS!
 

Judging based on appearance IS NOT what your god would approve...

Erika and Tom are married.  She is not spending Daddy Warbuck's money any more than Kyle is spending Mauricio's money.  Kyle By Alene  doesn't make any more money for Kyle than Erika Jane does for Erika. This is bullshit. They are a couple. What is theirs is theirs. He doesn't care apparently how she spends their money. Not his.

I agree. 

The thing I don't love about the money stuff if the 1%-ishness. I'm not a fan of the exxpensive to be me thing -- it's so in your face, so "I got mine". I feel it condones a very selfish, self-absorbed attitude that I don't think is beneficial. I know that mentality exists already, but that video is not just an expose, it comes across as an approval of it.  There's something about it that makes me think, yes! there's the line and she just crossed it!  But it's not a good line to cross.

I understand your point. Erika is the only one who seems to take a hit for this. Maybe because she openly admits it, but Dorit admits that she uses a glam squad, she flies them also albeit coach, they have a pink bentley etc, and doesn't catch the flak that Erika catches for spending "her husband's money" in such a frivolous way. They all overspend on frivolous things - maybe not Eileen.

It's true that others do it, and that I am calling out only Erika for it. But I feel she's taking it next level and that sets her apart.

I can't at this moment pinpoint exactly why I think Erika has taken it to the next level, but it has something to do with that video and the recent info that she spends 40K a month on her looks. There are probably women who spend more, so it's not really that, it's the advertising it maybe? She's being so flagrant, so Marie Antoinette about the whole thing, and that's off putting me off I think. There's a certain callousness about it. 

I wish I could better explain it. I'll think about it some more and see if I can come up with anything more specific. Maybe I am just being unfair in singling out Erika, but I have a nagging feeling that she has gone too far in the wrong direction in this 1% area.

Dorit took a glam "person", not a squad and she also works alongside her husband, so she does earn a paycheck or should. LOL Also, part of the problem with Erika is that she doesn't make money from her songs, at least not enough to cover the expenses for the videos/costumes/backup dancers, let alone her full squad.

Well, I love Kyle, but she did buy herself a Birkin bag as a reward for "surviving" a reunion show...LVP, who I also love, has a home with swans and a moat, and you know the upkeep for those probably isn't cheap. To many people that can be seen as being just as selfish and self-absorbed...

These women are all entitled to spend their money how they see fit.

You could look at Erika as a job creator.  Her business "losses" might also be a nice deduction for Tom, who probably owns Erika Jayne Enterprises or whatever she's incorporated as.  These are not stupid people.

That is true, I should have said .01% or .001%.  It's just that 1% is kind of a shorthand for the wealthy "elite",  but it was inaccurate -- for sure they are all well beyond $450,000 a year.

I call everyone and everything sweetie. It is almost a verbal tic of mine. I try not to, but if I'm not focused on it, it slips out. That whole thing should have ended after Erika asked PK not to call her honey and he agreed to stop. She didn't need to hammer the point over and over by telling him he needed to try hard. That pissed me off. If Erika had snotted off to me like that, I'd have been tempted to shift her wig a little.

Yes, but.

When a man calls a woman that he obviously doesn't like ('you're inherently cold') Honey, it's demeaning and degrading and meant to put that woman in her place. Whatever that place is. Clearly beneath, though.

I call everyone I work with Dollface, unless I really, really don't like you, then I use your name, so I don't have an issue with being familiar and semi-affectionate. 

This is not that.

[ladle]

--Argh, based on the previews I was all set to sip on the haterade as P.K. interfered in the ladies' drama, only to find out from watching the episode that Erika actually engaged *him* in the conversation.  Blah.  Still really dislike him though.

--Lines that made me laugh out loud: Rinna randomly pondering, "And what is a 'nutter'?" and Erika saying, "I'm allowed to have amnesia - everyone else in this group has!"

--Rinna is awful, but it's pretty rich of Kim Richards of all people to chastise her for refusing to take responsibility for anything.

--I know that Kyle has a fear of heights, but she might consider trying for the pilot's license, with the way she's been able to fly under the radar this season.

Kyle and Eileen's marriages don't seem to bother her, so why would she give a shit about Dorit's marriage?

Erica and Tom have been married for over 20 years, now. I'd say that goes a way to say that there's a substantial relationship between them.

No one really knows what goes on between two people when the cameras aren't rolling. But I think it's unfair to speculate that Tom and Erica have some sort of 'arrangement' because their marriage is unconventional by some people's standards.

Have we ever seen Erika host a charity event or even speak of one she's involved in? Is she passionate about anything other than how she looks? Cause I'm all for looking good but the amount of time and money she puts into herself is beyond ridiculous and a fraction of her upkeep expenses could do a lot of good somewhere else. I just see her as incredibly shallow and self absorbed.

As my sainted Mother always used to say, 'don't spend other people's money.'

We have no idea how charitable she and Tom are or are not. Just because she chooses not to vomit up every detail of her life for public consumption, doesn't mean that there aren't some things she chooses to keep off camera for whatever reasons.

This may be true,  almost all of these women are on these shows to promote something, usually their businesses. Erika is there to promote her Erika Jane schtick. She has no problem "vomiting up" her pussy patting and her love of the word cunty. One would think her Erika Girardi persona might like to put in a few  words to bring awareness to  a good cause as most of the other women have done.
