I'm not 'team anyone' in this mess but the lie detector test is whatever.  She set it up and I'm sure the questions and answers are reviewed ahead of time.

i do love the new kitchen though.  So big and bright and those countertops are beautiful.

Rinna actually look a lot better every time she ditches the 'iconic' hair.  Yet she keeps going back to it.  I don't get it.

Lots of River today! She is such a camera whore.  Thirsty doggie ;-)

Do people actually pay money to see Ericka “ perform”?  I think Mikey is not a very talented choreographer & he seemed to freak out when the music went off,which seems a bit unprofessional. I’m not sure what her relationship with Tom Girardi is but it seems to make them both happy so there’s that. Doubt there’s much passion; I don’t think that even with all her blatant sexual talk, Ericka is  interested in having a physical relationship with anyone but herself.  Teddy, your young son has a meltdown every time he’s on camera with you - I suspect you are working too much.  I’m also concerned with Elouise being left alone so much and with two men as her caretakers. Not to cast any aspersions, but that little girl is non verbal and the optics are not good.

My guess is Bravo did. 

Probably not, unless you saw a company name or logo. For example any time Priv has provided free services in exchange for a plug, we see everyone on the team is wearig a Priv logo t-shirt and one of cast is usually required to say something like "don't you love Priv" or "we didn't have Priv when I was..." or "Priv is so convenient." Then there is double; it's a plug within a plug. They had Tinsley do a plug for a hand cream inside of a plug for Priv--Inception!

I felt a tad guilty for thinking it but THIS is exactly what immediately came to my mind. Denise is SO loving & patient with Eloise & I commend her for adopting her. I just hope she doesn't leave her as often as the impression we get.

If I were the designer who staged LVP's kitchen, I would have slipped a picture of Kyle into one of those pink Le Creuset pots on my way out the door (after cashing Ken's check).  Then she'd have to spend another $300k to erase the bad  ju-ju from the place.  I find LVP almost as exhausting as Mikey, the untalented talking leech Erica keeps on a leash.

I like a white kitchen, but I'm not a fan of the entire look of LVP's remodel.  Love the stove and some of the features, but on the whole, it is definitely giving off a "Dynasty" remake starring  Elle Woods vibes.

Giggy and his eleven seconds of exercise! 

Does Giggy have heart or respiratory issues, or am I remembering this wrong?  I heard LVP say that she didn't want him to over exert himself (or something along those lines), so I'm thinking that it might not be good for him to get too rough-and-tumble with the other dogs.

One big ol' commercial for Erika Jayne. Somebody at BRAVO really loves her. 

All the ass kissing back stage. It went on and on and on.........Kyle had enough so she jumps and dry humps her husband to get some attention. WTH is going on with her?

She gave him a “happy ending at the big show”.  Lol.

Take that lie detector test, Lisa, because "poor creature" is every bit the smoking gun Rinna and Teddi claimed it was, just not HOW they claimed it was.

My best guess is that they had an advance copy of the article that included those words, and then the actual article was changed up.  Whether they leaked to Radar themselves, or producers did it with their knowledge, I'm not sure and don't even care. 

As for the initial reveal- I think LVP knew some version of it was being planned and didn't care, and Ken stepped in and told her to put a halt to it.  She attempted to do that, and the story was pushed by others anyway.  I think both in her mind, and probably legitimately, in this case she bears no responsibility for that.  I don't know what conversations and etc didn't make the cut, but what we saw on camera was really Teddi, then Kyle pushing the initial story line.  And truly, I think all 3, Teddi, Kyle and Rinna view Dorit as more frenemy co-worker than friend, so why not go after her?

Love the kitchen!

erika showed her true colors backstage pre show  the way she snapped whenthe curtain wasn’t pulled and a fan said hi  she said something to her staff “don’t let that happen again” 

my daughter was in hard core competitor cheer, at competitions when the music would go out, the entire crowd and cheerleaders do shout 8 counts and the tram keeps going, the dancers were doing it, ericka was having a pissy fit

Yes he does, and I was not criticizing Lisa or Giggy there; I believe Lisa was doing right by him -- I just thought it was adorable. I love seeing Giggy. I would watch the Real House Dogs of Beverly Hills for an hour a week.

Aw, it's cute you believe she was actually singing. I'm pretty sure she was up there to just dance. And lip synch.

I totally agree. I just lost my precious 14.5 yr old Dachshund two weeks ago to a sudden seizure so watching Giggy made me cry. It's just too soon to see all these sweet doggies on any shows right now. I miss my girl so much and the grief and heartache are so very intense. I wish I could hold my baby girl just one more time. Dying inside. Sigh Why can't they live twice the amount of time? I will remember my gentlist, kindest, calmest girl forever. She was a one in a million dog that can never be replaced. RIP my beautiful Kaycee-mommy loves you forever.

I’m so sorry Raiderred. It would be so nice if they lived twice the amount of time. It sounds like you had a really amazing doggie. *hug*

If we do find out that Dorit's "lovely woman" was the intake worker at the Orange County Animal Shelter, how will Kyle and co. spin that?

Has this person ever come forward or been named? I don't recall either happening. That is shady to me.

As far as I know the "lovely woman" has not come forward, and I don't think Dorit gave anyone at vpd her name. Not even Lisa, when she asked for it at the very beginning. And not the VPD adoption coordinator, who tried to get it a couple of times so she could follow up with the new home.

I still can't believe that Mikey guy is such a huge presence in Erika's life. He comes off to me as a huge joke. His behavior is so amped up. I wouldn't be surprised to learn he "works" for "free" to get bravo air time & free hand me downs from Erika's closet/cosmetics drawer.  Erika def changes gears when Tom is around to a submissive little lady that's a far cry from the dominant, mouthy glam gal or the fishing, hunting, camping country girl. She is an enigma. 

Agreed Kyle is a needy preteen in a middle aged body. Sometimes I like her but when she gets all extra, I can't really watch.  

Teddi annoys me somehow. I can't put my finger on it but I am over her and have been now for awhile. Her husband is fugs IMO and he was trying a little hard tonight too. I def saw the editors pointing out the juxtaposition of blob PK on the couch with two same-aged husbands who are physically fit or "hot." Dorit is coming into her own and I wouldn't be surprised if she ditched old PK ultimately. 

I dont care about LVP. Never really have . Her face & hair are amazing considering her age. I otherwise find her boring . Idk why. She's also cunning and conniving.  If the ladies want to ice her out, it's fine by me. Toodaloo- she'll be fine without the show.

Agree with all.

LVP now has her own ass kissing, colon clinging Mikey.

I agree with all of this. I do think Tom having money was a big reason why Erika wanted to marry him. She was a struggling actress at the time who was working as a waitress to make ends meet. However, I do believe she does care about him. I don’t think she has stayed with him over two decades just waiting for him to die. And Erika may not even inherit all or most of Tom’s money when he does die, which could be the reason she’s working to make her own money now. 

Yes, I agree.  They both love and respect one another  and it’s a win/win for both of them whatever their relationship is.,

I guess I don't get Erika's show.  So, is there a band or just piped in music that she sings to?  So, the show consists of her and her dancers, dancing, prancing and her singing and shouting......to non-live music?  (Irritating at that.)   Oh, I was shocked to see those special fire effects.  In that type of setting, it would have freaked me out.  They have caused some serious injuries and deaths in venues like that.  

Can someone tell me what about the Erika Jane character these crowds are so wild about? Do they like seeing an older woman appear haughty, bossy and only amused with herself? She doesn't look terrible in those getups, but, not as good as she thinks she looks.  At least, imo. 

The more I see Camille, the more I'm blown away.  Man, she's a real piece of work and I don't mean that as a compliment. lol

As long as they’re happy, good for them. I’d prefer someone reasonably close to my age, but to each his own. 

I like Tom except for when he shushed Erika. Otherwise, he does seem to love her and want her to be happy. If being a performer was Erika’s dream and he’s got the money to fund it, good for them. I also like that she gives him credit for making her dream possible. They’ve been married many years now, so even if they were to divorce tomorrow, their marriage has still lasted a lifetime in Hollywood.

Aerosmith was never the same in the late 80's when I realized no one was singing the chorus I was hearing.

And why I admire Robert Plant for being honest that his voice really can't do Zeppelin in the way he did when he was younger.

See I saw this too. Kyle and Teddi were the one's that were discussing the details when the season started. Rinna was told and then Rinna had that whole speech outlining the season story line. "Lisa played you". "You two are the most recent to have a rocky relationship with Dorit and therefore the most likely to lap it up"... Rinna pretty much plunked that right down in the middle of the living room. The storyline was introduced as subtly as a bull in a china shop. It didn't build organically or genuinely. It was pretty much acted out in the most obvious way. Lisa was the only one that seemed authentic in her reactions to the others. Actually Lisa seems a bit put off, probably knowing that any conversation revolving around the dog was going to cause her some stress down the line. Whether it be, her having to use energy to NOT show her disappointment in Dorit and keep up pretenses so as not to create drama for Dorit with the others. Or her knowing that any discussion of the situation would be daunting cause it would most likely drag out and she would have to continue to address it. Even if she thought she wouldn't be on the receiving end of any negative talk (which considering she wasn't the one that dumped the dog, why would she expect to be the bad guy in all of this) she probably didn't want to have to have any kind of negative conversations down the line since she was drained from dealing with the death of her brother.

I don't think there was any scene this season where Lisa looked like she wanted drag out the story of Lucy. Lisa's brand of retaliation involves having a go at you and giving you a hard time, making snarky comments here and there after a spat and sometimes randomly referring to something in the past with a joking/not joking comment but I've never believed that she invests in big orchestrated plans that involves steps, third parties and timing. It's so far fetched. Even more far fetched to believe she was all about that while simultaneously dealing with the grief over her brother. That's the biggest detail that I can't get around. Like seriously ladies? She's going through one of the hardest times of her life but you think even that pull her away from her imagined machiavellian chess board? Not even for one season.

It's just too much. Hell even if I did believe Lisa was more sinister than I do I still don't think would be worth it even for the most heinous villain. Not interesting enough to bother. Bleh.

agreed...Thank you !
