Kyle is so careful about her sisters, I wonder if producers will leave all the salacious parts out of Kyle’s TV projects - or maybe the sisters aren’t actually jelly (as I said upstream), but rather nervous about what will be shown about them and the family.

I think it is both. Maybe jealous, but also nervous. Nervous that Kyle is breaking the Big Kathy rule - don't talk about the family. And I've no doubt there is a lot to tell, although I think Kyle is protective of her mother and her memory.

The reports of the other 2 lawsuits happened during filming last season. As for Lisa bringing up tabloid crap on camera, she did so directly to the person the tabloids were talking about, face to face, not to others behind Kyle/s back. Rinna is a coward, she does this crap behind her victims back time and time again then denies or downplays what she said.

Both of those lawsuits happened a couple of weeks before they started filming last season. Not right in the middle of filming.

I get what you are saying but I'm not buying it. She talked about how hard it was to take care of him. LOL

how would u feel if all the sudden the person you were married to needed 24/7 care? do you not think that would be hard on you? I have a friend who's going through this he was completely heathy then bam was in the hospital for 9 months now can get up and down stairs cant really do anything on his own and it is taking everything out of his spouse on top of workin and taking care of the bills they now have to make sure everything is taken care of with him.... she said now she watches his breathing watches his hands watches his eyes shes scared and that showed .... I  think shes loves him if not she wouldn't have been with him this long especially with how controlling he is she would have found the next rich guy to suck off of and vanished

Dorit tweeted last night her line will drop in February.  She had her fashion show and the line has a different name.  Bevery Beach by Dorit and it is made in the US.  http://www.bravotv.com/the-daily-dish/the-real-housewives-of-beverly-hills-dorit-kemsley-new-swimwear-collection-photos

I believe those scenes were done at a different time and the producers just spliced them in.  If they had had a camera crew at Dorit's they would have shown and timed what she was doing, including riding in the car.  I found her excuse plausible I just didn't find it acceptable.  I agreed with LVP-important to Dorit but not necessarily everyone.  She apologized and Teddi chucked the apology and carried on.

I don't think Teddy had a problem until she found out that Dorit was making herself look like the victim. LOL

again everyone deals with stress differently she is used to the strong husband who takes charge and saw him for the first time weak and realized hes not going to be around forever and he won't always be the one taking the lead and getting things done and that will eventually fall on her ...... they have a huge house and a lot of financial stuff im sure that freaks her out to thinking about how do I take care of all that he was the one to always do that you know what im saying

Yes, he did. The listing went public on July 27th. Assuming they had to do the usual stuff that is done prior to listing (get comps, have photos taken, sign contracts) they were probably getting it ready to put on the market when the season began (2nd week of July). Since the lawsuit news about Ken hit the papers on August 7th, the house had already been on the market for a couple of weeks when they filmed the episode we saw last night.  Strange no mention of this from Dorit. 

And yes, I am sad that I actually now all of this. Must get a life of some sort.

OK, I have only watched the first twelve minutes of this episode and had to stop and post. First of all, if Dorito is going to show a video of her last line she needs to show one where the bottoms of the bikinis are not both sagging and giving wedgies to the models. Other than they are poorly fitting, her designs are no different that the gazillion other swimwear lines already out there.

I am confused by Dorito saying that she is aiming for the 2017 season. We just had a wack of birthdays from this crew, including Dorito's which is in July. So she is at the stage of sketching designs, and wants to launch her collection in 2017, which is already half way over? WTF???? And why does she need two co-creative directors and a manager? Who pays for all these assistants, nannies, and "co-creators" and manager of the non existent swimwear line? Bravo can't pay that well, and PK shows no signs of having a real business. 

Finally, wasn't Dorito filming the scenes with the co-creators (one of who appeared to keep stifling yawns - I know I was) and manager when she was supposed to be meeting Teddi? It seemed obvious that she was not on a phone call at all, but trying to make it sound like she had a legit reason to be late, rather than she is so dim and vacuous that she has no concept of time, hers or other peoples. No wonder she needs so many nannies to take care of her spawn. 

Dorit's meeting reminded me of the the She by Sheree No Fashions show. She had pre-printed bodies that she was coloring in. It looked like the Fashion Plates Designs Set my niece had. Not a fabric swatch in sight.

There was no need to speak to anyone in Europe or Asia at that point. I would imagine either location would be "production" or "fabric/textile print provider"

If it was fabric/textile print provider - you fly out to go to various locations to look at negotiate prices. if it was a call to make appointments you set up several agents and give them the times you have available so that they can schedule the appointments. This should have been done by one of the people AT her meeting. Flight itinerary - also should have been handled by one of the people at the meeting.

As far as calling a "manufacturer" at this point the only thing would have been a phone call to see when they had availability to produce because she was no where near ready to use a factory to make the swim wear.

Before the dinner at Kyles, I could at least tolerate Dorit.  But now...ugh!    She is so over the top and exaggerated in how she responds and reacts to everything.  I do think in her mind she is quirky and adorable - she's really just an obnoxious b*tch.   Just get her and the Non Laundry Doing Rinna spawn off my screen, Bravo.  Replace them with Storm and Bambi and any other dog that belongs to Kyle.

 

I think Dorit and Rinna are kind of assholes but I have to admit they are the type of assholes I don't mind watching on this show.  (Brandi and Carlton were the type I hate, and Kim was just sad.). That being said - Rinna's kids can go yesterday.

Teddi can be annoyed at Dorit’s flakiness, but she didn’t show up at 4:00 because she really wants to get to know Dorit, she did so because she was told to by production. She got paid to sit there, and that’s why she did it. If she has a problem with the sloppy drunk Real Housewife at this early stage, I don’t think she’ll last. 

She also gets paid to create drama out of the mundane, so it looks like she's on it!  :)

Since the link you provided was from October of 2017, it appears that these scenes may not have even been filmed this season? Maybe last? I think filming starts June-ish, so find it hard to believe that Dorito would be giving a show just a few months later, unless she just made one of each suit in the show. In any case, the first picture of the model in the one piece? Yikes! The top of the suit is way too big for her frame. The rest looks like a redux of her previous line with the ties on the bottoms of the bikinis, etc. I don't get the draw to design swimsuits because there is rarely a suit that looks fresh and new. Maybe that is the point - just stick your name on a line and tell yourself you have done something original. Or even needed. Lol.

Nope. You have to cross the Atlantic to get to Africa and the Middle East. If you travel regularly to those places, transatlantic might mean something different to you. If you are in Eurasia, transatlantic means the Americas.

Actually, since most of the traffic is between the US and Europe, pretty much everyone would assume it is Europe (especially since with exception of a handful of airlines and flight routes, you have to transit visa Europe anyway to get to the Middle East and Africa from the US).

For someone in LA to refer to Asia, it would be more correct to use transpacific.

It is common to have a fashion show without having any "product to ship"

Most apparel companies "cut to order" so that they are not stuck with inventory and paying storage fees for a warehouse.

You're absolutely right about the "fit" of the line - that first one was horrible. It is also very common for the designs to be the same - just change the textile/fabric.

My thought when Dorit said she wanted to re-start her swimwear was they need to launder some money. Either show a big loss and how they now can't pay any monies back or show a "big imaginary profit" so they can appear to be flush with "new money" (not the money PK stole)

[Misslindsey]

Hee! I guess I do not care what time it was in Hong Kong, because I doubt Dorit was actually on a call.

My husband had a year of various illnesses a few years back.  Pneumonia, blood clot, back was out which ended up in an ambulance ride and I was of course working full time.  I was caregiver, financial support, took care of everything at home, errand runner, it just about made me lose my mind.  I don't even have kids!  It was super difficult.  The worry was actually worse than the work of caregiving.  I can see how that might freak her out.  I don't think (but could be wrong) it had only to do with her financial comfort.  A bone break, as others have said, is super dangerous as we age.

Teddi is new to the group and doesn't know what will or won't start these women on a tear.  Dorit made her sound like a whiny child and like she was screaming into the phone about the fact that Dorit had her sitting around for an hour.  Kyle, LVP and the others have more of a foundation with Dorit so Teddi is probably working with that information and thinking they are now seeing Teddi as some unhinged freak who loses it if you're five minutes late (as Dorit and Kyle laughed about when Dorit tossed a dig Teddi's way about never being five minutes late for anything).  She isn't upset Dorit was late, she's irritated that Dorit made it sound like Teddi was somehow abnormal for asking her where she was.  

Not to mention, Teddi is an accountability coach.  That's literally her job title.  She does nothing all day but hold people accountable for shitty behavior (sure it's more to do with weight loss, but still shitty behavior nonetheless).  

Dorit has so far lied and also made her out to be some crazed lunatic.  I'd be pissed off about it too.  If Kyle were smarter she would have called her on her bullshit line about it being between 4:30 and 5:30.  Who the hell makes a date with a friend with an hour window?  

Lateness for me is a deal breaker.  I'll be cool with 5 or 10 minutes with some communication that you're on your way and are sorry...but nothing after that amount of time?  I'm gone.  A blase attitude about being late and keeping someone waiting is the universe's way of telling you this person is a self absorbed asshole.  

You know, I might have to watch this episode again because I didn't get the "Dorit made Teddi sound like a whiny child" part.  Also the "crazed lunatic" part. Did not get that either. I did see Dorit looking like a defensive jackass about it by dismissing her own culpability though.

We all just saw this on tv and no one, (going by the recent posts) not even me, someone who likes Dorit, thought Teddi looked bad in this lateness scenario. We had just seen the ticking timer and no one thought Teddi was freaking out over a mere six minutes, because we all just saw the reality of it on tv.

I agree with you about lateness -- I think it's disrespectful. But the funny thing about this, what is quickly becoming Late Gate, is that this is not the first time a HW has been late on this franchise. I just don't remember it being such a hot topic before.

That might be difficult due to the clients not signing waivers to appear on camera.  Or, she might not want to allow filming due to confidentiality, if she's serious about the career.  [Looking at you every other housewife who has done fake therapy on camera.]

Typically what the show would do if none of her clients wanted to participate, they might cast someone to be her client or co-opt one of the crew to be her client.

Teddi has client's sign this http://laworkoutjunkie.com/terms-of-service/.  I get the impression she meets with clients and does diet and workout consultation and then they are required to be accountable by following their routine or she dumps them and keeps their money.  I don't think she is a personal trainer.

Agreed, tho I did think it was odd that she said "Mr. Girardi broke his ankle" instead of referring to him as Tom. I'm sure Mikey knows who Tom is and that he's the boss, and might even have been told to call him "Mr. Girardi". I suppose it could be a private joke between them with Tom being "the boss" as we've been told so many times, that maybe that's just the way they refer to him when talking to each other, but it stood out to me for some reason.

I'm kind of of two minds about this because I totally understand being annoyed that someone is so late and doesn't bother to at least text something. Dorit saying she wasn't all that late anyway just adds insult to injury, so I agree with Teddi on that point. I'm another very punctual person who rushes and hurries and generally inconveniences myself  so I won't be late, so I find being late to be rude, and then, if it's unavoidable, not sending a text or something about it to be ruder.  But if she had texted that she got a phone call and had to cancel would that really have been okay with Teddi? I don't know her, she says it would have been fine, so maybe it would have, I don't know. 

My main issue is with Teddi being so flummoxed about Dorit talking badly about Rinna, and then not passing up the opportunity to do the very same thing when Dorit does something she doesn't like. I find that hypocritical, which to me is a much bigger problem than lateness.  And I also find it pretty ill mannered that Teddi is making such a big deal about it. Dorit was rude and self important and standalone, it's Dorit who looked bad there, imo. But I think Teddi is running the risk of looking like a bitch for taking this up and not letting it go, bringing it up at every opportunity and even name calling. She seems to be making the freshman mistake of attempting to be a badass.

In Kyle's blog she mentions that this lateness issue continues for a while. Blah. I am not looking forward to another apology gate. 

Anything I say is colored by my distaste for Dorit, but here goes.

I doubt Teddi would have said anything at all about Dorit being late, her inconsideration at not calling or texting that she was going to be late or any of that, had Dorit not gone to Kyle and LVP and essentially accused Teddi of making a big something out of absolutely nothing and accused Teddi of being a text nag and texting after Dorit being only 6 minutes late.

You raging idiot--it's all on tape. We see you, girl. We see you. And she wasn't driving herself to Plan Check. She clearly was being driven--she asked the person driving the car how long it would take to get there and was told 20 minutes because of traffic. And this was at nearly 5, for what she thought was a 4:30 meetup. By her standards, she was going to be at least 45 minutes late. Completely unacceptable.

Still, Teddi wouldn't have said anything. Until Dorit chose to stick the knife in Teddi's back and go running to Kyle and LVP in an effort to...what? Get her story out first? Make herself look good? Who knows?

But it's far removed from Dorit's trashing of Rinna, which was gratuitous and just wrong. Rinna may be many things, but she's not a schizophrenic.

I don't think she received the call while filming (but my DVR hates me right now, so I could have missed it). It was when She and Mikey were complaining about the jet-lag, she brought it up to one-up him on how much harder her situation is because, along with her jet-lag, she now watches Tom sleep and breathe and deal with pain.

STFU Kyle in your Ron Jeremy flesh colored shortie robe. STFU about your family, and defending Dorit about being late. What’s in it for Kyle? A super fan? I am not following why Kyle is sticking up for Dorit so hard. Kyle can say Doritos mouth is a tennis ball machine but it’s not ok for a Teddi to say that Dorito was drunk ? 

Barney and a Sleestak had a baby and it showed up at Villa Rosa for a lunch date. WTF.  Drunk purple people eater. 

I love Teddi and I think is Camille is beautiful and credible in general. F Dorit. 

Ok Dorito... if you were supposed to be there at 430 and you called at 452 at least 15 to 20 minutes away plus traffic..... that’s not 6 minutes late. She asked someone in the car  how far away they were. Could that person not send a text ? 

I believe the other person in the car was identified as the driver, so no, they couldn't send a text, but Dorit probably could.

I guess another possibility is that Dorit and Teddi agreed to meet for drinks at 4:00 pm at Plan Check (Really? They couldn't think of a better name for a bar/restaurant? This name makes me think that they provide a service that helps people maximize their health insurance and employee benefits, in general) while at Kyle's party, so Dorit was too sh--faced to remember the time or the fact that she agreed to meet Teddi.

The original Plan Check location is next door to the Department of Building and Safety where you go for plan checks and it has kind of an industrial architectural vibe.

Who pays for all these assistants, nannies, and "co-creators" and manager of the non existent swimwear line? Bravo can't pay that well, and PK shows no signs of having a real business. 

Finally, wasn't Dorito filming the scenes with the co-creators (one of who appeared to keep stifling yawns - I know I was) and manager when she was supposed to be meeting Teddi? It seemed obvious that she was not on a phone call at all, but trying to make it sound like she had a legit reason to be late, rather than she is so dim and vacuous that she has no concept of time, hers or other peoples. No wonder she needs so many nannies to take care of her spawn. 

She was aiming for Resort 2017, which I think had its runway shows in November/December, so it would be really tight, but she could (and I guess did) make it.  The scenes of Teddi waiting and Dorit meeting with her swimwear people were shown at the same time, but it doesn't mean they were filmed at the same time, just like the dueling lunches at the end of the show.

Tom has available to him,  PT/OT, home health aide and possibly even a nurse to care for him during rehabilitation from orthopedic surgery.

Maybe Erika doesn't want a nurse getting her hooks into Mr. Girardi.  TV makes me believe that old rich dudes falling for their nurses is totally a thing.

Anything I say is colored by my distaste for Dorit, but here goes.

I doubt Teddi would have said anything at all about Dorit being late, her inconsideration at not calling or texting that she was going to be late or any of that, had Dorit not gone to Kyle and LVP and essentially accused Teddi of making a big something out of absolutely nothing and accused Teddi of being a text nag and texting after Dorit being only 6 minutes late.

You raging idiot--it's all on tape. We see you, girl. We see you. And she wasn't driving herself to Plan Check. She clearly was being driven--she asked the person driving the car how long it would take to get there and was told 20 minutes because of traffic. And this was at nearly 5, for what she thought was a 4:30 meetup. By her standards, she was going to be at least 45 minutes late. Completely unacceptable.

Still, Teddi wouldn't have said anything. Until Dorit chose to stick the knife in Teddi's back and go running to Kyle and LVP in an effort to...what? Get her story out first? Make herself look good? Who knows?

But it's far removed from Dorit's trashing of Rinna, which was gratuitous and just wrong. Rinna may be many things, but she's not a schizophrenic.

I don't think Lisa Rinna has been diagnosed with schizophrenia, and I don't think PK or Dorit were attempting to diagnose a mental illness. Rather, I think they were using that term (incorrectly) in the old fashioned vernacular, to say there are two sides to her personality. Seems they find her duplicitous, and I can see their point.  They think they have a legit gripe with Rinna, and I agree with them: I think what Rinna said was much worse.  Mileage varies I guess.

That's KYLE's way of handling it; "no comment!" That's the reason I have no love for her! She allows these b!tches to undermine and belittle her sister; rarely taking someone like Rinna to task for the things she says! I know Rinna wouldn't pull that $#!t with me more than once! She only does it because the other wives enable her! The thing with Yolanda was another one of those "big mouth" moments; actually invoking Munchausen! Such a hateful POS; has it all, but she has to go out of her way to make other people look bad! That's probably why I can't stand her demon spawn as well! I don't want to give her any credit for anything! ;-)

Sorry, but Kim was all kinds of wrong and I don't blame Rinna for calling out that nasty piece of work.  Not to mention, Kim IS an addict.

Yolanda - I think a lot of us questioned her illness. Esp when we got wind of the pending divorce.  I do feel bad for thinking that way, but I did have my doubts. Hell, even LVP questioned it more than once....the running for clues and  saying Mohammed never said his daughter was ill.

I love their impressions!

Erika's is the same as Tom Sandoval but slowed down.

They have Teddy sounding like Kristen on Valium.

Love the title: A Wrinkle In Time

It is common to have a fashion show without having any "product to ship"

Most apparel companies "cut to order" so that they are not stuck with inventory and paying storage fees for a warehouse.

You're absolutely right about the "fit" of the line - that first one was horrible. It is also very common for the designs to be the same - just change the textile/fabric.

My thought when Dorit said she wanted to re-start her swimwear was they need to launder some money. Either show a big loss and how they now can't pay any monies back or show a "big imaginary profit" so they can appear to be flush with "new money" (not the money PK stole)

There's a reason the swimsuit line is under a different name.

Exactly...did you think "shell company" or picture Perv K setting up a fake LLC?

Last night my mom asked, "Can Dorit ever tell the truth? She's always twisting things around. She knows she's being filmed, right?" 

Then I showed her the "Poison Arrow" video and she knew it was LVP right away. I was so proud.

Bingo! If the line was so fabulous why not use the same name?

Probably because it was none of their fk'n business! WHO the FK do these people think they are passing judgment like that; esp. calling one another friends? I know I've never spoken like that of someone close to me! I know it's a TV show, but I'd still take offense and would tell them to "get lost! With friends like you I don't need any FK'n enemies!" No wonder Yo hasn't spoken to these b!tches in months; esp. LVP who's still close to Mohammed! ;-)
