The others were not exactly grinning like Cheshire cats at any of the packages.

No, they were all laughing/smiling about the replays, Erika looked bored! That is until the Greece trip came up at the end and she applauded that. She had zero interest with anything concerning the others, zero interest!

[Jel]

I expected Erika to get a good edit, but this was beyond. The HK scene ... all the crying, none of the shut the fuck up. 

That's bad enough but then to have Romy and Michelle on the winning team is beyond the pale.

Your opinion. I don't think you were inside her head, were you?

The sleeves.  I think it would have looked nice if it were sleeveless or had normal sleeves.  The weird glove sleeves made her arms look like sausages.

Erika gave birth at 20 and was a stay at home mother until she left her son with his father when he was 3 so she could pursue her career?  She left out part of the story.

We got a glimpse of LVP the chess master when she asked Erika if she did the reverse of her mother when raising her son - but Erika didn't give herself away by getting defensive.  She played that one cool.

Yes, it was my opinion but I am going by her reactions that we all saw tonight! As for being inside hers or any of their "heads" No and I never want to be! LOL

Yes, Lisa tried to open the door for Erika to tell her story about this but Erika refused to answer it. I don't know if it was a BF chess move or Lisa trying to get Erika to be honest, we will never know.

On behalf of viewers who think like me I say good for Lisa for trying, tactfully. Some of us are interested to know the back story.

All I have to say about this one is what a room full of ugly dresses!

Erika seriously needs to get herself a damn sense of humor.  The woman is so cold and doesn't smile at all.

Cuz Erikas is a LADY don't you know, except when like wearing her "ceeyounexttuesday" necklace. Ladies don't have senses of humor and they act all imperious and fly above it all or I have this tragically mixed up with RHOA.

She did keep her cool, as I am sure she knew what LVP was doing. Obviously Erika doesn't want to discuss it on camera or she would have. Reminds me of when LVP casually outed Chad as Kim's child who had suffered the breakdown, when it had previously remained anonymous as to which child it was. Or when she feigned interest in Eileen and the affair, knowing full well Eileen didn't want to talk about it on camera. Or when she brought up the Mauricio cheating rumors. Luckily for LVP, people have always let her decide what she wants to reveal on camera and what she doesn't (lawsuits for example) and never push her to do so.

I expected Dorit to slay when it came to her dress.  Her makeup was gorgeous and hair was nice.
Kyle just kills me.  With the exception season 5's reunion, reunion dresses never woo me.  
 

[Drumpf1737]

Holy cow that was great! I liked the new format; starting off with the ladies at home.

I liked how friendly and cordial they all were towards each other. I think production took a look at  boards and realized people don't want fighting just truth and owning your shit ?

Ha! Guess Andy got tired of being called a shitty host. My petty side loved Erika's responding that she can afford to fly her squad Business Class so she does. Obviously it's stuck up and bitchy of her to say so since it's Tom's money. She only gets a check from this show, DWTS and her music that's on unimportant charts. [sarcasm] *eyeroll*

I too didn't initially notice Eden's absence.

I loved Dorit's dress, makeup and hair. She's a gorgeous phony. I appreciated PK addressing the "less rich" thing head on instead of dodging like many reunion participants do.

I loved the little discussion about reunion dresses, Kyle's shame-corner in her closet, and a museum of Howife fashion.

On a related note, the Erikas may have laughed off wearing the same shoes as Rinna on camera, but I bet Mikey caught an earful for it later. Walk of Shame in Zubaz pants for you, liver-lips!

I thought Dorit looked better without make up.  PK, on the other hand, is still a pig.

Whoa.  Dorit with no makeup.

The two different tones and textures with cutouts as well as cuts all across her body. I'm all for bending some fashion rules but Kyle is petite and she knew she was going to be seated the entire evening. I wouldn't want to live with scrutiny directed at my looks and no one wants to put me on TV but I'm short-waisted and I know enough to run like the wind from cropped jackets and tucked-in tops.

[DebbieM4]

Way too much Erika.  She's not interesting in the slightest.

I thought tonight was pretty dull.  Although the season was hardly riveting, so I guess I shouldn't have been surprised.

I feel badly for Kyle.  She's short, like I am (barely 5'). I love when people say, when I stand up, "Oh you look much taller sitting down".  An inch or two in the length of a dress can make a huge difference.  Kyle, like myself, thinks she's taller than she is - and makes the mistakes of wrong lengths, wrong cuts, and overpowering styles.   Geez, give me a long dress without the right heels and it looks like I'm standing in a hole.

Maybe that is why Kyle never, ever wears them again.  They all just sit in a corner of her closet.

She did it at a reunion a few years ago, the season that Chad was taken to the hospital. Lisa did cross the line that season just like Kim did when she implied that Lisa/Ken only love Pandora at that same season finale. Both were wrong.

[breezy424]

OK.  I really don't like Erika or Dorit but I think Erika won the war between the two tonight.  I'm freakin tired of 'British' humor as an excuse for getting out of not taking responsibility for your comments.  Best part was the clip of Dorit not having an accent three years ago.  Busted.

LVP did try to go there with Erika's relationship with her son but I don't think it was the time or place.

Oh yeah, PK needed for us to know how he makes his money.  No mention of his bankruptcies.  And I have no doubt that Bentley is a lease as well as their house.

Nice to know that Erika flies her glam squad aka hired friends business class.  Ok.  Tom does.  Or that's how Erika chooses to spend her allowance from Tom.  If they're all happy.....well...  And sorry Erika, you're probably going home next week from DWTS.  I thought she would be better than what she's shown so far. 

I wish all their pets could talk and we could have a reunion with them.  That would be fun.

Aside from the fact that it was really unflattering, as already mentioned?  When you wear something with fine stripes on TV, they strobe or make moiré patterns or whatever the technical term is.  I think the OP was referring to the fact that with all her time in front of the camera, Kyle should've known not to wear a dress with that kind of pattern.  On my TV at least, it was very hard to look at.

I was very impressed with LVP's stealth in asking that question.  I think Erika's eyes hardened for an instant (if it were possible for them to get any harder), but it was really Andy who cut off that line of discussion.  I don't know if it was intentional on his part, but he gave Erika a door to scoot through, and she used it.

Speaking of Erika (and who wasn't, ad nauseam?), she obviously took the NeNe Leakes approach to reunion attitude tonight, didn't she?  Never making eye contact, never smiling, looking as if she'd rather be getting a root canal.  That didn't work out so well for NeNe in the end, so maybe rethink that next year.  And get a new glam squad.  A wardrobe person who knows something about bras.

Erika only won because she refused to allow Dorit to answer any question or even finish a statement and if Erika didn't cut her off, Rinna did.

Andy asked PK about it, he didn't bring the subject up.

Erika should have gone before Mr. T.

I agree, bring on the pets! LOL

I thought that Erika's dress did nothing to show off her figure.  She has a very nice, voluptuous shape, and the dress offered no glimpse of that.  

Plus, I thought her makeup was very, very heavy handed.

The reason why you probably don't remember is because Lisa referenced Chad's mental health episode by saying "it was something else." From what I recall, there was nothing explicit and a viewer who hadn't already read about the incident wouldn't have caught the allusion.

I recall it.  Kim had said LVp never called her and LVP said, "I called you after your son broke his leg."  KIm replied, "my son didn't break his leg."  So technically LVP was trying to fend for herself without outing the true nature of Chad's hospitalization.

I would love to see what her hair looks like without all the extra and extensions, too.  

I think the only other one to wear extensions is Dorit, but we've seen her without them (and, I think she looks better without hers, too.)

OTOH, I thought that aside from the deep plunge on LVP's dress, she looked stunning.  Her hair was slightly different - less "80's" hair, and her makeup didn't seem as heavy as usual.

Love Dorit's dress and necklace.

Now that's how you dress for a reunion couch. Queen Pinky looked good, too.

Erika is so trashy. As Dolly Parton famously quipped "it costs a lot to look this cheap." Word. 

Yeah, except Dolly is a goddess American treasure.

There's a featured quote about Erika on the homepage, and it sounds like she's not any more endearing on DWTS.

[Teddybear]

Quote

Kyle has appeared on television in some form for most of her life. What in the hell was she thinking with that dress?   

Plus she has her own clothing store!  Of all the dresses she could have chosen, I don't know why she thought that one was the most flattering.  

LVP's powder was about 10 shades too light.  

I'm not surprised Erika's Glam Squad made her look like shit again.  The dress put her boobs basically at her waist.

Lisa is sporting a slight side part in her hair which is more flattering for most of us and I think her makeup was softer as well. I loved her dress, she seemed to have the proper support going on underneath, which is necessary in a dress like that.

[Pickles]

I liked LVP's lighter shade of makeup or powder. It made her look pretty youthful compared to most of those other faces on the couches. Rinna is looking old in the face in her closeups. And don't get me started on those lips. Omg.

If that's true, my guess is it's too little too late for the franchise.  I'm not watching after this reunion, and from the looks of the lack of activity on the RHOA board, I'm not the only one deserting a sinking ship.  And if NeNe's back next year, I'd have to be drugged and strapped into a chair to watch.

But maybe the bitch-face attitude will be good for Erika.  Maybe it's just hard for her to make normal human facial expressions with all that work and Botox.  What do I know?

Ha! So glad when Ericka began protesting, "don't confuse the two personas--" Vanderpump reminded her that she wears a necklace that says "C---y" and Ericka couldn't respond.

Why the fuck is Rinna explaining how Erika is concerned about her son's safety? It's one thing if you're helping a friend in an argument, but to jump in when a bitch is not pressed at all is really weird. Did Erika invent some new religion of which Eileen and Rinna are the newest converts?

I can't believe Erika had the chutzpah to chime in that she had no nanny when she was raising her son. What kind of crazy arrogant person would invite trouble by opening that door? Erika had no nanny for the 3 years that she was the primary caregiver. What about when he was being raised by his father? Did he have a regular sitter who picked him up from school and watched him until his dad came home because we know it wasn't Erika?

Rinna had the best dress. LVP looked bad to me, maybe it is the too-light powder that someone else mentioned. Her face didn't have any life to it and it made her look old to me. But her hair did look better than usual. Kyle's dress was unflattering. 

I don't like PK and I hope they don't waste much more time on him.

I guess when you believe someone to be a certain way, you can interpret much of what they do to be negative or with ill intent. Nothing about how LVP addressed her question came across (to me) as though she was trying to throw in a dig about Erika raising her son. She even followed it up with an example of how she learned from what she wanted more of as a child and had incorporated that into how she navigates being a mother to her own children. I think that's a fair question and it's very possibly that Erika played it cool because she didn't interpret LVP's intentions the same way you did. Erika and LVP seem to have this banter type of relationship. I suspect that on some level when they throw barbs at each other with a laugh, they kind of mean it but neither care enough about each other to get upset about it....that or they see their interactions as a good sense of humour. 

Something tells me that Erika and Dorit's truce didn't last long. Erika's behaviour didn't seem like someone getting caught up in emotions while recapping the past, she seemed like she wasn't having any of it, haha. 

I hope we don't have to hear about pantygate after this episode because I'm sick of it. I will say, Erika has constantly said that they have accused her of flashing PK on purpose and this is the second time PK has specifically asked when she's ever heard that from them and who has told her that and she hasn't answered the question yet. I know Andy loves Erika but she's getting a really good edit because she's a dog with a bone. She wanted an apology from Dorit and PK. She got it. The only person who has said that she flashed PK intentionally is Erika and she doesn't have to answer to where she's getting that accusation? She's crying over gossip that she has put on national TV and she has been the only person to repeat that sentiment over and over. 

I thought all of the women managed themselves really well for the first part at least...we'll see how the rest goes. 

Where was Eden?

Rinna is fighting for space up near Eileen, which is around Erika's colon!

Again, she alludes to raising her son when we know that just wasn't the truth! Luckily for her, Rinna is up her behind and not calling her out because that is something Rinna would love to use against someone!

Agree with all of this. However she's done pretty well for herself and I admire her hustle.

Because it would have taken too long to explain that wearing a necklace that says "cunt" doesn't make it okay for someone to look up your dress or imply that you wanted someone's husband to look up your dress.

Complete snooze fest with Andy kissing Ericka's pink elephant most of the night. blech.

Rinna is and continues to be a unwatchable.

Umm, yes. See the following:

• Armstrong, Russell
• Ayers, Brooks
• Smiley, Slade
• Spencer, Block
• Thomas, Peter

All of them are deadbeat dads who have been excoriated here and on social media.

See also Sheree Whitfield whose monstrous self-absorption led her to blow all of her money on herself and her chateau while her kids slept on air mattresses. She also pretended her oldest child was not her kid and actually a friend of hers. So this isn't isolated criticism of Erika.
