Teddi is so aggressively aloof.

Yes that is what is annoying me about her - I am still Team Teddi in the Dorit Wars, but enough already about how down to earth you are.  When Edwin talked about them dating and her telling him who her father is - she immediately got all defensive, "I didn't say it like that!"  Simmer down, skillet - no one cares.

Must of picked it up in Mexico where she clearly got a boob job at a steep dicount

 

Did she do that since last season?  I feel I would remember seeing those boobs before.  They look worse every week!

I don't think Lisa was stirring the pot, I think she was trying to let Dorit know that she was making Teddi feel less than and that she needed to stop it.

I often think LVP is a bit of a shit stirrer, but in this instance I agree with you.

I think Teddi's problem in this episode was she lacked awareness and confided in Lisa V who actually agreed with Dorit and wasn't relating to Teddi at all. I don't know why Teddi decided to tell the most fancy housewife that she didn't like to be around fancy things. When Lisa V was saying to Dorit that she was casual girl she sort of then apologetically offered- but she's sweet though-- she sort of had a poopy smell-look on her face, like she was trying, but failing, to like Teddi. i don't think Lisa V really likes Teddi that much. Lisa V and Dorit are connecting through their love for luxury and respect for each other's luxurious life and shared etiquette values. I actually feel like LIsa V is trying to impress Dorit a bit (remember when Lisa v stayed at that horrible hotel insisting it was fine, and everyone else left because it was loud and there wasn't room service?) Where Teddi serves champagne in wine glasses and Kyle has parties in the dark, in the heat, and offers no air conditioning nor has floors. Which if Dorit found being offered champagne in the wrong glass poor manners, then I can only imagine how horrified she was to be at Kyle's party without offering proper comfort. Dorit was really messed up being somewhere without a/c, like she wandered into a really bad neighborhood. 

 

Coarse bawdiness masquerading as British humor being their shared values? :)

Dorit was a total bitch to Kyle about her AC - luckily all of Kyle's booze was served in proper shot glasses so she could get stinking drunk in a classy way :D

Are we really to believe that anyone other than Lorena was going to take care of that puppy?

Teddi's Dana Point beach house is way nicer than our Dana Point beach house.  I guess having Johnny Cougar for a dad does come in handy.  I wish ours was a measly 5 bedroom "cottage" like theirs.

It was so nice of Erika to offer to help Dorit without a second thought.  She just automatically offered and that was really generous of her.  I floved her in the audience stage-momming the hand motions.

I love Kyle's robe.

Poor Teddi.  She invited these broads to a potluck.  She really doesn't fit in.  To be fair though, the drive down to Dana Point is usually 2+ hours.  That's kind of rough for a potluck.

Is there anything that Camille can't wear?  She always looks so good.

I hate Rinna in a deep v-neck.  I did like her necklace though.

Erika looks amazing at the party.  Her hair, make-up, suit.  All fab.

Dorit's tits do indeed look ridiculous.  She's like a clown-titted Rock of Love reject when she puts them all "up on a shelf"  -- she needs to burn all her push-up bras.  She looked a lot better in the singing outfit than that dress.  In terms of her performance, I guess her song was well suited for her and having Boy George on back-up surely helped.  

So was the helicopter just for PK's benefit and not to impress the guests since no one saw it and Dorit and PK snuck in the back on a rib?  It seems unlike Dorit to plan something so showy and not make sure everyone saw it.  Dorit did do a good job surprising PK and it was nice seeing him so overwhelmed by his family and guests.  

Kyle's bitch please look during the argument was magnificent and so was the editors splicing in the other conversation about how great the night was.

On the one hand, Dorit's been an asshole, on the other hand, who wants to hang out with a pro-bono accountability coach?

Am I the only one who thinks that Teddi's husband looks like a less prettier version of young Harry Hamlin?

Dorit’s implants looked like they were filled with helium, and not evenly filled. 

Teddi grates. She doesn’t like conspicuous consumption etc, why is she on this show? She’s a yoga panted soccer mom who humble brags about her self control and modesty.

His head is super long and Harry's is kinda tiny.  It's like if you stacked two of Harry's heads on top of each other you might end up with one the same length as Edwin's.

Dorit's horrific, tone deaf performance. 

I know she was nervous but that whole sequence was cringeworthy (like watching an Uncanny Valley robot simulate human behavior - "Me is being sexy. FEVER! Me is looking over one shoulder. FEVER! Beep! Beep!  Implants shifting! Beep!") 

Erika, Pretty Woman was a hooker.  Just saying. 

Lisa:  Ugly move letting Dorit school Kyle -- Kyle deserves/has earned better from Vanderpump (and the finest thing in life, Lisa, is making people feel comfortable in their own skin around you, not fancy-bragging while finding the peasants charming in their simple "One world, one glass" ways. Hope Teddi goes real down home and makes you poop in the ocean next week.)

  Teddi’s handling of their discussion on the boat was perfect & Dorit just kept behaving terribly.

I agree.  Teddi won that ridiculous scene. Dorit (coked up?  A blow to the head in the helicopter?) was beyond desperate to earn her Bravo keep (and pay for that party) by starting a catfight, and Teddi just watched her the way people do when standing in line, singing in their head to pass the time (in her case,  Mellencamp / "Dorit wanna be a housewife star, celebutante can't buy PK a million plus car.")  And (if I've learned anything watching these shows & Housewife 101) if you're going to start a fight, pick a fucking grudge lane -- don't just throw any random attack at the wall ("Liar!""Psycho!" "Insulting!")  and wait to see what sticks.

Wasn't Teddi's bitch last week that Dorit took the conversation to her friends and she was forced to defend herself?  So why is it okay to for Teddi to talk to LVP and Dorit has to defend herself?  These ladies need a new way of communicating-consistency would be a start.  

Dorit didn't ask Teddi to change the glass.  I like Kyle and LVP but I do not understand why they keep inserting herself in the Teddi/Dorit conversation.  If it is a peace making mission they are failing.  Maybe we will see what the conversation was between Teddi and the interlopers this epsiode.  I think Dorit was headed in the right direction as it seems she wanted to "own it" and straighten things out with Teddi.  I guess you can't complain to LVP and then claim you just let it go.  I do not understand these women, but my favorite line was Teddi, saying she came to PK's party to support Dorit.  It isn't a product launch.  I don;t think Teddi really wants to be around Dorit.  

Teddi was telling LVP about herself and her discomfort with certain levels of entertaining. She declined to name names. Dorit is an envious lunatic.

Dorit went from zero to snortcake after returning from the coke (rest) room. Teddi handled the situation well fully aware that Dorit was riding the snow.

I think Lisa Rinna looks more like Harry Hamlin!

Especially in tonight’s ep (when she was in their kitchen) when she was makeup free and wearing glasses that look so much like his.

[Rosebud1970]

Oh, Dorit.

Etiquette is NOT demanding to drink champagne from a flute and rose from a white wine glass. Etiquette is making your host(ess) at ease and acting as if he/she is putting on the swellest party--at which you are a guest--evah!

If someone is serving me champagne in a blessed Solo cup, then I will happily drink champagne from a Solo cup and not piss and moan about what a terrible hostess she is because she didn't think ahead to have flutes, rather than coupes. 

Actually, champagne in a Solo cup means fewer refills. So, yay me!

[CrinkleCutCat]

Okaaaaaaaaay Dorit.... Teddi is the psycho one. Bwahahahahaha!  At the beginning of this season a number of posters here wanted Teddi to cool down and just give Dorit enough rope... well tonight during that ‘little chat’ we saw Teddi doing just that! Teddi keeping cool and Dorit going off. Dorit was escalating everything, it was ridiculous. IMO Dorit took something after her musical number...she was sooooo different compared to her sober pre-song self.

I can relate to Teddi's feelings of trepidation with palling around with the housewives and hosting events. I feel my personality is very close to Teddi. I could also care less about proper glasses, plates, wine, shoes, handbags , cars  etc. And yes, I can afford it. I have a small country club set of folks that I would be uncomfortable  entertaining because they are such over the top entertainers. I know this is my own  character flaw and contradicts me saying I don't care. If I really didn't care, I would not feel uncomfortable . But its just a  human fallible .  

Making someone feel bad about a mistake or misstep , claiming its just etiquette when it is really just a bullshit pretension, is not the making a very nice person. Suck it up for goodness sake and put the drink down or drink it from the glass you are served in. 

And therefore, I believe the shows are incredibly fake and push small things to make an issue out of. Tardiness, glasses. Oh brother. But, none of it makes Dorit look like a quality person.

I love your honesty, Missyb :) 

Personally, I think it's 100% fine to not care about wine glasses, and if Teddi doesn't care, so be it. But I don't really believe her because she's coming across as defensive about it. 

We've seen some signs of a self deprecating sense of humor from her, so have fun with your non-fancy pants ways. God, I'm about to say..."be like Tamra!". But yeah, in this way, be like Tamra, who managed to contrast her not caring with Heather's very much caring in a fun way.  I am sure many viewers relate to Teddi in this way and she could have a lot of fun with it, in a nod and a wink way to the audience about Dorit's pretentiousness, instead of as Kokapetl said, being like a humble bragger yoga pants wearing soccer mom, which is zero fun to me.  

We're only a few episodes in and we already have a couple of Gates that are as exhausting to me as apology gate was. 

I find something endearing in Dorit. I've been around a lot of pretentious people in my life so I just roll my eyes at it now, and find myself able to look past it I guess. And it's not just one sided -- at a dinner party, after too many glasses of wine, I once said something about my own bad manners by pouring myself a glass of wine (my own bad manners!) and that friend has never let me forget it -- every single time she pours her self some wine she'll make a point of saying something about how fancy I am, and how I wouldn't approve, etc.  The knife cuts both ways.  

I understand that Teddi doesn't want to be schooled by Dorit (of all people) on etiquette. Check and agree. But then don't school her on the etiquette of giving her etiquette lessons. Because that's hypocritical.  It's like *MY* special brand of disapproval is acceptable but yours is wrong, wrong, wrong! No, that's not how it works in Jel Land (where we pour our own wine, but then feel kinda sheepish about it.)  It's all the same judgy crap just dressed up differently.

She really doesn't bother me anymore than say Rhinna. They all have things I like and things I don't, but I just don't get all the hate for her. 

[gundysgirl]

My Erika love continues. She was so sweet and supportive of Dorit. I know she has talked about not really getting close to women, but she can be such a champion of women. She did the same with Kyle last year. Telling her she was gorgeous when they were in Greece and encouraging her to come out in her bathing suit and show her lovely self off. Reminding her that she was a strong kick-ass mother and business woman. And last night with Dorit. She was genuinely happy for her and wanted to make her believe she could do it. I loved everything about her last night. And she looked beyond gorgeous at the party. 

Dorit is a bitch. She just is. There are times she can be likable, but at her core she likes to look down on others. Out of everything that she did I thought that jumping on Kyle was the worst. Kyle has been nothing but kind and supportive to Dorit, even when it wasn't a good look for her. She was  contributing to the conversation in the same way that LVP was, but it was OK when LVP was doing it because she was backing up Dorit. If Dorit had an issue with what Kyle was saying specifically, she should have stated what her problem was with what Kyle was saying. Not getting upset that she was inserting herself in a conversation when LVP was standing there doing the exact same thing. She came off as very petty and insecure, which is what she is. 

I do hate the Bravo Gods for making me thaw towards PK. His reaction to seeing his parents was so sweet. 

[ghoulina]

Teddi and Dorit round 3 (or 4? 5???) - This one's on Teddi. She should not have brought up the glass thing to LVP if she didn't want A. To say who said it and B. it to get back to Dorit. Come on. I know she's new to this Housewife game, but that's just common sense. 

That being said, Dorit is still a crazy bitch. Teddi isn't innocent, but she's not "psycho". Not even close. And, honestly, she was still acting very superior about the fucking glass. (Which is why I loved Kyle running away with her water in a wine glass.)

But the thing that really rubbed me wrong was Dorit yelling at Kyle for interfering, yet she WELCOMED LVP sticking up for HER. Hypocrite. 

 

On to PK'S birthday/party: Are we sure he's turning 50? Are we sure that was his mother? He looked the same age as her. 

Dorit tells PK he's her James Bond. More like the boiled egg James Bond had for breakfast. 

Then there's the helicopter ride....to the yacht with a heli pad....into the speed boat....to the other yacht sitting 10 feet away. That's an awful lot of fucking work to get to a party. Couldn't they just totter down the gangplank like everyone else? I'm just left wondering where they get the money for all this. 

I was LIVING for Stage Mom Erika ("Sing out, Louise!"), but I'm not buying that Dorit was all that nervous. She seemed to just love having all eyes on her. I thought she sang too softly, though. 

 

Rehearsals - It's bad enough I have to suffer through Mikey every week - don't inflict flashbacks of Gretchen fucking Rossi on me. And you know if Boy George says you're crazy, it's baaaad. 

 

So Teddi has a beach house in OC? I smell a crossover. I loved Rinna reading her long ass text. This is why I relate to Teddi. I'm an over-planner and pretty socially awkward. I'll send an invite with all these options and stipulations. LOL! Also hilarious? Kyle not being sure if she has a cooler! I'm really looking forward to seeing world's collide down there. 

 

Worst moment of the show? PK in a bathrobe. I'm scarred for life.

[SweetieDarling]

How old is Teddi? She kind of reminds me of me and my friends in our early 20's after just having moved out on our own. Because of our limited amount of disposable income and general naivete (or ignorance) for the "finer things", we were proud of the "set" of glasses acquired by attending wine festivals mixed in with a few quirky mismatched others.  Teddi seems to wear her lack of knowledge of all things fancy like a badge of honor, to show how down to earth she is. 

She's like the Anti-Heather (DuBrow RHOC).

Yes, two sets of glasses out, put em away Teddi, you dork! 

I'm confused. Was there only one drink being served at Teddi's? I thought there were different glasses for different drinks. Dorit just didn't happen to get the right one. At any rate, I don't see why this is such a huge deal. IMO, the BIGGEST breach of etiquette is embarrassing someone or making them feel uncomfortable. Dorit could have quietly asked for a different glass, switched them herself after Teddi went to talk to other guests, or - GASP - just drank the damn drink from the "wrong" glass. I'm sure it wouldn't kill her. But she made a big deal of it, not only to Teddi, but continued to talk about to others, as if it was on par with Teddi serving ice cream to someone with a severe milk allergy. 

[gundysgirl]

My favorite part was Kyle walking away from a crazed/coked up/bitchy Dorit and throwing over her shoulder "and Dorit, I am drinking my water out of a wine glass". Perfection.

I think it's great to be down to earth, I just don't believe it really from her. She has one Tiffany bracelet, not five!  She has pot lucks at her five bedroom beach house. Sure, she she has fancy wine glasses but she doesn't really use them or care.  These things are pseudo down to earth, imo.  She gives off a kind of defensiveness that stems from feelings of inferiority.  

She thinks Dorit is pretentious -- lots of people agree. Have some fun with that instead of being a bitter bug.

[SweetieDarling]

It sometimes seems like someone had given Dorit advice about being on the show and told her the viewers love when they show their opulent lifestyles and homes.  Usually that means showing off  ginormous closets and spending ridiculous amounts of money on luxury brand items that we wouldn't be able justify spending that much money on even if we could afford it. Dorit thinks it includes being a pretentious bitch. She is wrong.

You asking? With five question marks I'm going to assume yes.

Here's how I was taught: ymmv.  If you are a guest at someone else's dinner party, you don't serve yourself the wine they provide at the table. You properly wait, til someone serves it to you. That's how I was taught, and it was lurking there in some section of my brain (pretense section, manners section, Momisms, somewhere in there) and sprung up that one evening, at which point, I, having drunk a fair bit already, blurted it out.  And I have never been allowed to forget it. Even now!  But really, there are not words to adequately describe the level of IDGAF I feel if anyone else serves their own wine.

I don't know about the diet pepsi -- I'm a coke zero drinker ;) 

[Pop Tart]

Once again Dorit was in the wrong in a situation (making such a big deal about her glass), but she's trying to gaslight Teddi and make her think she's wrong, a liar, a psycho, etc. 

At Teddi's party:

• Dorit got served champagne in a wine glass, BY THE SERVER, or wine in a champagne glass, or pink lemonade in a beer stein, or something like that
• She was drinking a bit from the glass and chatting with Teddi (but still irked about Teddi trying to talk calmly and rationally with her about late-gate). As they're talking she's suddenly on her feet and saying she can't focus on their conversation, or she's distracted, or something of the like and has to change her glass.
• She and Teddi walk back to the counter - Teddi looking befuddled and like "what the heck is going on?" - and Dorit makes a big point with the server to say that she had the wrong type of glass for what she was drinking with Dorit giving Teddi lots of side-eye because she hired this guy who got it soooooo wrong.
• While Dorit is waiting for the glassware switch Lisa R. arrives and joins them. Dorit then tells Rinna (with Teddi still standing there) why they're at the counter, because she has the wrong glass and she just can't, just can't, like she's OCD (might have been Rinna who threw in OCD, but that was what Dorit was expressing) and can't focus when so much is wrong with her world. Rinna jokes with her that she's the same, laughing it off and trying to ease the situation.
• Teddi is upset with the whole scene - rightfully so - and as is required on this show has a sit-down with another housewife (LVP) the next day, or some time, and talks about how the situation made her feel (and she doesn't even name names, though of course since this is all producer driven, LVP has the whole script)
• LVP runs to Dorit and tells her that Teddi is upset with her about the glasses and Teddi said that Dorit couldn't concentrate on anything else because of her wrong type of glass, or whatever words LVP uses

At the birthday party:

• Dorit pulls Teddi aside and confronts her about LYING to LVP. She never said anything about not being able to do anything else, or being distracted, or unable to concentrate. Teddi is once again LYING!!!! And how dare she?
• This is exactly what Dorit did with late-gate. When Teddi retold the story of how late Dorit was, some of the details got lost in the translation, but the story was 99% correct. Dorit was way late and then told others that it was Teddi who was the jerk because she'd left the restaurant when Dorit was only running like six minutes behind. Her fudging the details to make it look like it was Teddi who was initially in the wrong was what most upset Teddi.
• And so it is with glass-gate - Teddi recounted the story to LVP and got all the essentials correct, but Dorit is seizing on the wording to declare Teddi the LYING PSYCHO.
• LVP and Kyle join them and Kyle makes a point of asking "is this a private confab?" and Dorit tells them it's not and she's just having a conversation with Teddi about the glass thing. LVP then decides to give Teddi a lecture about glassware (with the subtext being that of course Dorit was right to be upset about the faux pas). Teddi rolls her eyes and Kyle seems to be feeling the same way because she starts to give her opinion about why she thinks Teddi was upset. 
• Dorit goes off on Kyle about being Teddi's mouthpiece and how dare she interrupt or interject herself - which LVP kind of backs up - even though Dorit said they weren't having a private conversation and she had no problem with LVP interjecting on her behalf. 
• Kyle gives up and walks away, drinking water in her wine glass, and Dorit yells at Teddi that she's a PSYCHO! LVP stands there.

And I think it was after calling her a liar and a psycho that Dorit said that she really cared about Teddi? Teddi just thanks her for the party, gives her a hug and walks away.

I think in regard to the wrong-glass situation (or anything that someone is being unnecessarily snottily passive-aggressive about), the best response is, "OK, if it means that much to you." I've done this before and people's faces almost always reveal momentary expression of shame, haha!

Is Dorit Insane? OMG it wasn't a black tie party so her bitching about the proper glass made her seem petty why is she trying to flip this on Teddie? like somehow teddy was the one bitching to everyone that she had the wrong glass no dorit you did that so you are the insane one stop trying to flip this on Teddie

Did anyone else notice the glass Dorit used when getting a sip of water while she was warming up before singing on the boat?  It looked like a wine glass to me, GASP ... THE HORROR!!!

Oh, Dorit.

Etiquette is NOT demanding to drink champagne from a flute and rose from a white wine glass. Etiquette is making your host(ess) at ease and acting as if he/she is putting on the swellest party--at which you are a guest--evah!

If someone is serving me champagne in a blessed Solo cup, then I will happily drink champagne from a Solo cup and not piss and moan about what a terrible hostess she is because she didn't think ahead to have flutes, rather than coupes. 

Actually, champagne in a Solo cup means fewer refills. So, yay me!

Kim....is that you?  kidding. I 100% agree with your entire post.  :)

You asking? With five question marks I'm going to assume yes.

Here's how I was taught: ymmv.  If you are a guest at someone else's dinner party, you don't serve yourself the wine they provide at the table. You properly wait, til someone serves it to you. That's how I was taught, and it was lurking there in some section of my brain (pretense section, manners section, Momisms, somewhere in there) and sprung up that one evening, at which point, I, having drunk a fair bit already, blurted it out.  And I have never been allowed to forget it. Even now!  But really, there are not words to adequately describe the level of IDGAF I feel if anyone else serves their own wine.

I don't know about the diet pepsi -- I'm a coke zero drinker ;) 

You were raised with such good manners! This is how I was taught as well. That you are not supposed to just pour yourself wine at a dinner party. If you do, you are supposed to look around the table to see if others also need some. You make an offer to them first, and then you can fill/refill your glass. Of course I think all of these rules go out the window if I am dining with close friends that we hang out with all the time. But when we go to dinner at the home of my husbands boss......I longingly look at the gorgeous and incredibly expensive wine and wait for the offer of a refill so as not to hog it or look like a lush.

I have forgiven the show for their failure last week to show our high heeled ladies trying to navigate Teddi's lawn with this week's episode and our bevy of beauties struggling up the gangway!

Well done show.

I was really hoping for this

Dorit holds on to issues way too long, remember Pantygate, she had to prolong the issue by bringing Erika the gift of panties and could not understand why it was not a hit.  It really does all come down to one thing, Dorit was not a gracious guest at Teddi's house and now as the ungracious hostess of a party she is calling Teddi "psycho."  Fingers crossed that Teddi replaces all her bar ware with red solo cups.

I am still maintaining that Lisa VP is a shit stirrer, why did she have to repeat Teddi's comment (about having the wrong glasses at her beach house) to Dorit.  Teddi never used Dorit's name, Teddi was musing another reason why she does not like to host parties.  

Teddi's beach house must be a really nice 5 bedroom "cottage" on the beach, lol...how humble, lol.

I half expected PK's parents to have a reaction when they heard it was PK's 50th and when they showed his brother I half expected the subtitle to say "PK's little brother" lol.

Why bother with a grand entrance if practically nobody see's it, the helicopter did not even land on the party boat.

I noticed they showed PK's gold watch, I knew that was going to be the present, cue gold Rolex on yacht...we have seen that a time or two.

She knew that this would cause conflict did you see her eyes light up when teddie wouldn't give a name? I'm not understanding the point of running to Dorit with what she said other then to cause drama... and the side shade of well shes laid back not like us shes not used to the finer things in life.... are you freaking kidding me Yes her father kept her in a hovel with no shoes Lisa ugh
