Erika and Tom have been married for 20 years. It’s not like she married him yesterday.

I get reminded of the Girls Next Door.

Oh, I use to love that show. That was when the E! Network was still good.

I like Kyle, but agreed. I don't need to see any couple like that. 

Maybe she’s trying to keep up with Denice, the sex maniac.

Bravo editors, was it really necessary to “flashback” to Teddi’s son having a meltdown? It certainly wasn’t enjoyable viewing the first time around. 

On the other hand, I lol-ed at your shady “flashbacks” of Lisa VP and Camille greeting each other. “One minute ago...”  So I guess we’ll call it a draw. 

Kyle, I don’t care how “hot” you and your Maurice are for each other, nobody needs or wants to see you mounting him in pubic. That’s a whole lot of cringe. Leave that for the boudoir please.

Camille—yikes. Was she always this messy (season 1 aside) and 2-faced? Has she just been getting a good edit as a Friend-of these past years? Is it possible the cancer treatments she received kind of messed with the wiring in her brain? Because nothing she’s saying is really adding up! She seems to contradict everything she was saying to Lisa’s face in her TH. It’s definitely not a good look at all.

 Yes, Camille has always been messy. She hired Howard Braggman to clean up her image for while, but even he can’t keep the old Camille from resurfacing.

BO-RING.  If this is the best they can do without LVP, it's time to move on.  I have no desire to see Erika Jayne, Mikey or her "singing".  Lose some of the dead weight (Teddi, Dorit and Rinner) and find some real BH divas.  At this point I'd welcome Kim back.

And I liked LVP's new kitchen!  And the pink accents and pots.  

[Jel]

Giggy and his eleven seconds of exercise! 

Lisa's new kitchen is very Lisa Vanderpump. I liked it.

The lie detector test! 

Those were the highlights for me. 

Kyle is so thirsty for someone who's been on the show since the beginning. Please straddle your husband on your own time -- I feel halfway violated.

I like LVP’s new kitchen too. I wonder why she is taking a lie detector test if she is adamant that she is telling the truth. I wouldn’t even bother, especially since the way LVP talks, she is done with Kyle, Dorit, and Teddi.

[breezy424]

Hm.  So the only person LVP has to film with to see her new white and pink kitchen is Sessa?  Or did she still believe that VPD was going to happen as a spinoff?

Lie detector test?  Did LVP give a story to ROL?  LOL.  LVP doesn't give that kind of story directly.  She has people.  Ya know like telling Sessa she doesn't care what he does in regard to puppygate.

Camille talks out of both sides of her mouth.  Teddi is right.  She says one thing to a person's face and then says another behind their backs.

I felt bad that Denise felt bad about not being there for the homecoming dance pictures.  Enough sex talk though.  Enough sex talk from all of them.

I thought the last couple of episodes have been boring, but the ratings are still stable. The show is averaging 1.7 million viewers and 0.8 in the 18-49 year old demographic. So even with LVP seeing minimal screen time, the show hasn’t experienced a substantial ratings decline.

[Thumper]

I missed Lisa's kitchen, so can't comment on the pink decor, but not a fan of pink.  

Erika -- no. So it was all lipsynched?  

Kyle -- you are too old to be mounting your husband in public.  Embarrassing.

Meh. Unless Brigitte Nielsen is asking the questions and it is to win Flavor Flav's heart I'm not interested.

Can LVP find ANYONE besides Sessa to film with? I know Blizzard was  busy sabotaging Erika's sound system, but there must be someone else around.

Tom was awe struck. Awe struck that he has wasted all that money.

And Teddi got a haircut. Hi I'm Teddi's haircut.

Pour one out for the classic VH1 trashy reality shows...

I gave myself a headache from rolling my eyes so hard at the lie detector thing. Really?

[Lady of nod]

Only 5 minutes in, but can I just spend the hour in LVP's kitchen please.

I like Camille most of the time, but she can really lay it on thick when she's being buddy-buddy with someone, i.e. her talk with LVP.  She knows damn well that she was just badmouthing her a few weeks prior to that.

Ha.  She did it in the talking heads that aired right after she met with Lisa insisting on how she understood.

But Lisa, dear, Camille's wedding is not your wedding.  You go for her.  No one will care about you. 

Remember last week when they talked too much about sex?  I prefer that to the straddling and pony dancing in tonight's episode.

So all we are going to see of LVP is her 300k kitchen and listen to her excuses to be as far away from the group as she can get? Then she should just quit this show. 

Camille can take her place. She’s been showcased more this season than LVP anyway. 

Even though she constantly threatens to quit, she won't.  She's too thirsty.  Her constantly playing the poor victim and "it's a joke" is getting as old as her matronly outfits.

Maybe. But only LVP could look that good and bring that Dynasty vintage throwback vibe while being filmed through a Vaseline smeared lens. Like, Kyle's trying this season in her talking heads but it just ain't the same. 

[Bronzedog]

I honestly think tonight is the first time I’ve ever seen Giggy walk.  That makes me kind of sad.

When has Lisa threatened to quit?

She is not playing a victim. She was made into one by so called friends. Regardless, removing yourself from a toxic situation is the opposite of what you'er accusing her off. She doesn't want to be a victim. She's done

I’m betting Mauricio wasn’t too thrilled when Kyle jumped him in public.  His friends and clients will probably have a field day.

Backstage Erika Jayne and Tom Girardi don’t even look like they’re the same species.

[bichonblitz]

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?

Yup straddling your husband in public when you’re drunk 🥴 is both sloppy and gross.  I guess she just couldn’t help herself with all the sex talk of late and just had to prove she’s a player.

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.

Not sure but i think he’s involved in a big lawsuit currently, maybe he will lose it all soon.....I mean the money lol.  Hard to believe he is still working.

[Starlight925]

Erika was on WWHL tonight, and she said the sound issue was only about 10 seconds.  Jeez, they made it seem like this huge, long deal. 

I cringed for Kyle.  Girl needs some therapy, stat.  She races over to put the red boots on to beat Teddi, who spotted them first.  When they didn’t fit, she raced over to straddle Mauricio.  Whatever she didn’t get in childhood needs to get figured out in the privacy of a good therapist’s office.  {{shudder}}

I bet she just wants to prove her point, have the last word so to speak and be done with it.  I think she has felt so betrayed by this group and needs to take a stand for herself.

That last LVP scene? That is just one example of why she's the MVP of this franchise.

I think it's one hop away from Aviva's leg toss. It's unbelievably contrived and produced.

I cannot stand Sessa. Go away.

Ericka was pissed because she was caught lip syncing. And then the track when on when she was just standing there.  Not that anyone is surprised, but I'm sure some believers who think she is really a singer cried a bit.

I'd expect impressive choreography given that she wasn't singing live. Instead we got something that was slightly better than Luann's Halloween Frankenstein clomping.

Mikey Minden allegedly choreographed the Pussycat Dolls world tours for years, but he clearly never learned how to actually produce and direct a show. That was worse than a number of high school plays that I've seen. Yeah, I think she'd fit in perfectly on Bravo's Barely Talented Tour.

When Rinna walked in to the Petty Mess concert, I seriously thought she was Brandi’s friend Jennifer Gimenez.

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.

It’s amazing how different Lisa looks without her signature hairstyle. And I say signature instead of iconic because Lisa is not famous enough to have anything that is iconic. Farrah Fawcett’s hair in the 70s was iconic. Jennifer Aniston’s “Rachel” hair was iconic in the 1890s. But Rinna’s hair iconic? Nah.

I honestly agree that I don’t think I ever saw him walk before either. It was very sad to see him toddle around with that blank expression on his face. With his head tilted at a weird angle and drooling on himself. Still and all I think he has a few years left. 

So I hope Erika doesn’t put Tom to sleep.

This is Tom and Erika in a nutshell. 

[Talented Tenth]

In general, old man + young, pretty girl = she got with him for the money, he got with her for the arm candy.  If Tom had been a waiter in the same restaurant she met him in and he tried to hit on her, she would've complained to the manager about being sexually harassed.  When there is a big age difference or disparity in physical appearance, someone's compensating for something.  How often do you see a rich, pretty young thing with an old man or broke old man with young hottie of sound mind and body?  I'll wait.

Camille is two-faced and I don't care for her at all.

Kyle was much more enjoyable this episode.

The cast needs to be shaken up.  Teddi, Denise and Camille can go.

[Kdawg82]

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.
