S08.E02: Diva Las Vegas

[Keywestclubkid]

Snooze episode seriously. Only funny part was watching Lisa R, back/double talk her way into getting the girls to like her again without anyone there to back her up she sure keeps her mouth shut a lot more.

Why does Dorit call everyone Bubba.

And she's in the casino in her pajamas. 

I use Bubba as a term of endearment, like some people use honey or dear or sweetie.  Shrugs shoulders...  

Pugs must be flying somewhere because...really small voice....I liked everybody tonight.

Even Rinna.  Who behaved non-viley. 

Will it last? 

Oh yeah!  Best moment was Camille and her shade about Lisa not having Eileen as back up!

Can someone please talk to Dorit about her boobs? They look soooooooooooooooooo fake. She needs to get a refund and get some new ones. She is to skinny for those big of boobs.

She should stop wearing strapless dresses too, she kept hiking up the front of her dress every two minutes. 

[Primal Slayer]

I have a feeling that Teddi may be a 1 season HW. Right now there isn't that much to her apart from "My dad is famous but Im really normal". I know she is literally new to this and knows NO ONE more then like 48hrs but when I remember Brandis iconic introduction to the group in her first two episodes...this seems childs play.

Her breasts were sitting on the shelf of that bodice and half-covered.  Waiting for a wardrobe malfunction.  Not a good look.

That said, the weird clothes are part of the fun of this show!

I'm so over Dorit I can't take it. Very boring episode except LVP lied about Erika not returning her texts. Maybe Erika's not that into you Lisa.  Did Dorit and her husband apologize for making nasty comments about Erika's marriage?

I thought Rinna's apology on behalf of Harry was very nice but Kyle didn't deserve that--fuck her. I hate that both she and Kim deny that anything was said about Harry. Drunk Bitch Richards just gets off scot-free.

I met my father at 23 years old so virtual high five Erika. It's impossible to describe but luckily my friends aren't as horrible as the housewives so I have a great support system. 

People pretend to have this great empathy but in general, I find people are just horrible to those of us with different experiences. Abused and abandoned children become standoff-ish adults for the most part.

I feel like you're comparing apples to oranges.  I enjoyed Brandi as the resident shit-stirrer but Teddi seems much more laid back from what we've seen so far.  Wasn't Brandi accusing Kim of doing drugs in the bathroom in her first episode?

Poor Adrienne.  I feel bad for someone who looks in the mirror and is so unsatisfied with what they see that they think the bloated-looking face is the logical solution.  

The last thing I want to watch is LVP and Erika being friends.  Ugh.

Her first episode was bringing Cedrick to a party and her 2nd was the showdown with the Richards Sisters. Just with Brandi's entrance, I got a sense of "damn! I need more and need to know more about this chick" whereas with Teddy its more "oh a new girl" she just doesnt automatically get me intrigued. But we have a whole season to see what she will bring. RHOBH just moves a lot slower nowadays I feel like it then it did back then..

There's been this fancy pajamas red carpet trend with celebrities that has never managed to make the transition from red carpet to everyday glamorous woman wear. It just looks weird even when all manner of famous pretty women wear it.

It became very clear by the end that the reason Kyle wanted to clear the air about Harry is that she'd been running her mouth in the off season and needed to confront it and defuse it before Rinna brought it up or she was invited to an event the husbands might attend.  I don't have an issue with Hamlin discussing the Kim problem after running into Kyle the day after the reunion.  Kim is Camille running to the bathroom during her divorce levels of terrified of confrontation ever since Mauricio started doing well enough to have something to lose via the reputation this show can give a person. 

This episode seemed to be the episode where the stuff Erika and Rinna didn't like about their edits last season get put to bed and they get to start fresh.  LvP and Dorit better tone it down with the snide remarks because Dorit ain't that innocent and LvP isn't as funny as she thinks she is and both of them should take note that the mean spirited gossip eventually turns back on you when the person you are going after just takes it instead of accusing you of running a coke den.  LvP in particular is using every opportunity to talk shit about them when she is the least injured party in every confrontation.  Its irritating me.

I don't think things are going to go well with Teddi.  She seemed way too morose and sour already to survive this show without a major falling out.  I don't get why her reaction to Erika is so strong already.  It would have made more sense if she was irritated with the ones (LvP) harping on her about getting into the middle of fights because she's and accountability coach.  That had to be irritating.

Trashy Brandi iconic?  Seriously?  Her casting took the show to the gutter - she was too poor to fit into the BH franchise.   And her self-destructiveness where she alienated herself from the show is what eventually got her fired.  Noticed that unlike Camille, Taylor, Adrienne, Kim, she has never made a return appearance (except for a taped cameo at a Reunion).  Viewers couldn't wait to get rid of her.

Apparently, John Mellencamp will be appearing this season.

S1-5 have been 10x better then what we've gotten afterwards. Brandi ended up alienating herself from everyone but that doesn't negate that her time on the show brought the goods, especially S2/3 despite her lack of wealth. 

Now everyone tries to be the good guy and avoid the villain edit and we're still dealing with fallout from panty-gate.

That made me smile.  I have a friend who used to watch this franchise with me and I remember how excited we got when they previewed Brandi's fight with Kim and Kyle.  Good times!  

I agree that it sometimes takes BH almost an entire season to build up to a couple good confrontation scenes.  Sometimes I appreciate how they're able to dance around their grievances, but it isn't without frustration.

Adrienne - what the heck are doing to yourself????

LR's daughter is obnoxious.

Dorit's pajama outfit was terrible.  Especially with that matching head scarf.  Same goes for Erika's 'running' outfit.

Overall a boring episode. 

PK and Dorit are famewhores.  Especially PK. 

I'm still liking Teddi but I do wonder how much she's going to bring to the show.

[Chicosan]

I usually love when this show starts but I have to agree that it has started off as a snooze fest.  I think Erica is super insecure by trying to be the "wild one", trying to be "cool" with the ice cube penis and hijacking Teddy's father story. I used to think she was narcissistic but this season she's coming across to me as desperate and scared to death of getting the housewife axe if she doesn't bring it this year.  It kinda seems to me that maybe they all made a pact to get along to protect their group from getting split next season? Like they are all finally ok with each other being in the group and no one is the obvious sore thumb/pretending to be rich but really broke/booze addled/Brandi-like character who is cut from the herd when contracts are renewed.  I know, it's way too early to tell ?

[AuntiePam]

Who paid for the $5K worth of chips Erika, Dorit and Teddi each started with?  And did any of them tip the croupier?  I've never played roulette, but isn't a tip expected, even if you lose? 

I'm glad Kyle didn't expect an apology from Lisa, for Harry's comments about Kim.  If someone has an issue with my SO, they need to bring it to him, not me.  

I didn't mind Dorit before, but she's coming off as an attention whore this time around.

I rather like the classy pajama look, but Dorit wears a set that looks like a damn clown costume.  Hideous.

[HunterHunted]

I have no problem with Dorit pretending to not remember PK calling Rinna those names because Rinna fully earned every last one of them with that coke shit she pulled with Dorit last season. Fuq that bitch. Pulling that accusation out of nowhere did make me wonder if Rinna had a mental illness or a drug problem.

[Martinigirl]

I don't think it was pulled out of nowhere....PK invested in the house he now lives in with an ADMITTED coke dealer.

[NeverLate]

I really noticed Dorit and Erica are more alike, than not! I'm with Teddi, I don't care to gamble, I win and I walk away. 

It was nice to see them all getting along, but we know it won't last. That green pant/track suit Erica wore, was so fugly!! 

She married a father figure, imagine jumping in bed with that old wrinkly.. Yuck!

 

Rinna, no time for someone whose daughter spends $280.00 on a meal and puts in on her mothers CC,I'd strangle her if my kid ever did that!

Hamlin, what an @ss, I'm glad Kyle bought it up! 

Showing Camille's dancing 6 years ago, well swaying hair.. lol

I dont think Rinnas daughter just did this out the blue lol. The way they were raised and what money means to them is probably a lot different to how we were raised lol. But the girl is earning money now so if Rinna really cared, she would make her fend for herself.

Except there was no foundation for the accusation on screen. All we saw was that Rinna was stuck at the table with long-winded Elliot Mintz, which seemed as likely a reason to flee the table as any. So by continuing to press the issue, Rinna just came across like a hateful asshole. It's also helped fuel the rumors about what Harry did and Lisa's alleged horrific response. So great strategy there Rinna.

This may sound weird, but my brothers kids were raised in the way you are meaning - and they would tell their mom they were feeling sick from last night's dinner, but never call it "wagyu" or tell her the cost or snort that they put it on her card.  Which is why I think the whole conversation was put on for this show, and I guess we are supposed to find something about that, or Lisa's desire to make them more grounded, charming or admirable?  One thing my brother and SIL would be smart enough to do is not record a scene like that :)

What I hate are the ones who start the shit stirring on nice vacations.  Dorit:  when Rinna says "nice to see you" responds "Is it really?"  Just shut up and give your fake air kisses and save it for your TH.  And of course LVP - "I'm so glad you put everything behind you" - I wish one of them would have responded, "Then why are you bringing it up?"  

As for Erika, I don't think she hijacked the father conversation  because Miss Teddi Jo, who knows a cool girl when she sees one, responded to the question of what it was like growing up with her father by saying it was no big deal, just like any of you with your father - towards Erika.

Best typo of the night. 

[nexxie]

Since Erika interrupted Teddi’s story about her childhood, I looked for some context and found this:

“After the divorce went through, my wife took my two little kids and moved away from Indiana, which she was allowed to do because I didn’t contest it. I had a family, and all of a sudden I didn’t. I had just done the Lonesome Jubilee tour, it was the biggest, most successful tour in the country that year, and it meant nothing to me. I was grateful that people liked the songs, but I felt like a monkey on a string. We did l90 shows, and it was like, "Oh, let's get out there and give them one more rousing chorus of 'Pink Houses."' I was like a cheerleader, and I didn’t like it.

I wrote "Jackie Brown" about myself in a different scenario: me disguised as a poor guy - not as a guy that had been successful and pretty much lost everything, which in my mind I had, because I'd lost my daughters, The song is about how you have to go outside to use the bathroom because you've sunk so low.”

Except that a vodka soda gets you basically the same thing (club soda has no calories) with some added sodium and minerals that you probably could stand to have because the alcohol is depriving you of them anyway. A vodka water is what you order if at some point you want to switch to all vodka or all water and you don't want people knowing. I guess the same could be said about a vodka soda. Maybe Erika just doesn't like club soda or carbonated water.

I tuned in 20 minutes late and watched while I juggled packing. But somehow, unaccountably, I found Erika less annoying than LVP and Teddi (who both seemed kind of thirsty) this episode. I could only muster mild irritation at her inane track suit rap star ensemble. 

Dorit's clothing choices continue to confound. The mini dress she donned for her Rinna faceoff was terribly unflattering.

She worked in public relations prior to her current marriage. I suppose Edwin could have bought their house as he is some sort of executive for a security alarm system company but I am skeptical. 

Daddy's money also clearly indirectly paid for that Hilton Head upbringing and the horses.

Teddi reminds me of Eileen, who I absolutely loved.  She's seemingly normal and down to earth, relatively speaking, and therefore a fish out of water on a show like this.

I wondered about a tip as well.  It's been years since I've been to Vegas but I thought it was standard procedure (and courtesy) to tip regardless of the outcome.
