glowbug January 6, 2018 Share January 6, 2018 I'm really liking Teddy so far too. Things can change, of course, but aside from a few slightly annoying comments I've found her very refreshing. She's probably my favorite new addition of the last few years. I kind of like Dorit, but I've always sat on the fence with her and have continued to this season as well. I certainly prefer Teddy to the recently exited housewives Kim, Eileen, and Eden. We'll see if I continue to feel this way as the season continues. 7 Link to comment
ladle January 7, 2018 Share January 7, 2018 I feel absolutely nothing for Teddi. Not like, not dislike. Just...nothing. I also had a NICU baby, so you'd think I'd feel a kinship with her... but nope. It's a very odd feeling. She almost reminds me of a sane Kelly Bensimon, but I'm not sure in what direction that cuts ... 7 Link to comment
rho January 10, 2018 Share January 10, 2018 She's kind of a walking contradiction in that she claims to be frugal and grounded but then she name drops her very rich, very famous father in every TH. I'm guessing she probably had a pretty modest upbringing by BH standards but that's not really the audience this show caters to. Other than that, she is boring. And right now I can't tell if she's secretly balls to the walls crazy or if she'll be utterly forgettable after this season. 4 Link to comment

Happy Camper February 1, 2018 Share February 1, 2018 Ok. I have to ask.... I have googled "accountability coach". What a load of BULLSHIT. What kind of education do you need for this job? Can I sign up? I am sure that I could somehow qualify. I know how to text people. If my friend says that she wants to lose 10 lbs in a month, I am sure that I can send her a text to say "Hey, How about those 10 lbs? Where are you at with that?" She does exactly what? And gets paid for exactly what? What the fuck do people actually pay for WHAT? People talk about PK and Dorit being grifters. HELLO!!! Teddi is such a phoney. How the fuck does she earn her money in the ACCOUNTABILITY business? Let's be honest, if PK and Dorit were advertising themselves as "accountability coaches", there would be post after post questioning them and challenging them and saying "what a load of BS". 6 Link to comment
BBHN February 1, 2018 Share February 1, 2018 (edited) Well, Teddi doesn't have the scent of bullshit that follows PK and Dorit around, so there is that for starters. Also, no stories about bankruptcy and lawsuits, for another. Edited February 1, 2018 by BBHN 3 Link to comment

What's weird to me is the bankruptcy and lawsuits are apparently the worst thing a person can do when it comes to PK and Dorit, but Margaret Josephs over on NJ has bankruptcies, law suits, has made a video recommending IP theft as a way to start a business, and her house is in foreclosure all while she's throwing lavish parties and presenting herself as a smart successful business woman on TV and everyone's just like "Meh.

Quote Maybe by being a friend. I would not expect to be paid for that. Just a hunch, but I'm guessing a good chunk of Teddi's clients aren't her friends.

I don't think it is a big deal to ask for another glass. I don't think Dorit and RINNA should have expanded the conversation and had a discussion as to why. If Teddi is so effing comfortable with her choices of entertaining she should not be whining to LVP and Kyle about the others and their reactions to her entertaining. When Erika didn't have food she didn't let it bother her. The real issue is Teddi, who likes to claim she doesn't talk behind someone's back, has run to both LVP and Kyle and complained about the glassware situation. LVP took it up with Dorit and Kyle took it up with Rinna, who just blew it off. So either Teddi is bothered by what others' think or she isn't-she can't have it both ways. In reality she is just a normal RH and talks smack. My issue with Teddi is she is starting a rub with Mom and Dad (LVP and Kyle) over her hurt feelings. I will be curious where her accountability lies. I have always liked Kyle but I do think she is working overtime and making stuff happen that should not be and she goes the extra distance next week. Tears and insults to LVP. That is one Kyle. 4 Link to comment

LOL How/why they are going after each other makes me wonder what production is up to. LOL Rinna is truly busy and I don't think she wanted to make another Eden mistake. The natural coupling was between Dorit and Teddi just because they both have small children. For some reason I think production decided they needed to plant a seed between LVP and Kyle. I don't think Teddi wanted to be the seed but she just can't seem to help herself. It is like Camille screaming from the bench "put me in coach" and blaming Dorit for taking all the camera time. Teddi has had an equal amount of camera time and a lot of events. Production keeps trying to make it happen that Dorit is not redeemable and even tossing Eileen into the stew with Rinna and Erika it is just not getting any traction. http://www.bravotv.com/the-real-housewives-of-beverly-hills/season-8/episode-7/videos/eileen-davidson-is-here I believe at this juncture everyone (except Camille) likes both Dorit and Teddi. Neither Teddi or Dorit are mean spirited so I doubt they want a showdown on who are their die hard supporters. Mom and Dad love both their children equally. 2 Link to comment
