S09.E16: Meet Rinna Jayne

I won't either.  It is a real fear since her mom died of breast cancer.  I have a ton of anxiety since I am the same age my mom was when she was diagnosed with cancer.  I applaud anyone who can get through tests/diagnosis without losing their shit.  I have had a questionable mammogram and it wigged me out.  It was fine but still.  I also did not have to wait, they told me at the appt they needed me to go get an ultrasound right then  I did speak with the radiologist and then was later sent for a biopsy.  

Rinna really was portraying Erika in a very bad light and I would be pissed at her if I were Erika.  I don't recall Erika ever being such an bitch out of the gate.  It is normally a reaction to something else.  And I say this as someone lukewarm on Erika.  I get Denise sticking up for her friend but it really wasn't necessary and seemed thirsty.  I am also in the camp that she needs to cease with the sex talk.  I know she and Aaron way better than I need to.

One thing that really bugged me was the walk up to the party.  I LOATHE the thought of having people jump out and scare me and I might end up swinging.  Knotts Scary Farm would be hell on earth to me.  I would need to ask for a less scary entrance.  I know I am a big baby but no can do.

I don’t blame Kyle either, especially given the timing with Farrah turning 30. She said her mom was diagnosed when she turned 30 herself, right? 

I think Rinna dressing up as Erika was funny and that Erika was flattered by the costume. I do think Rinna went too far with Kim and the c word and agree Erika has always been kind to Kim and doesn’t get aggressive out of nowhere.

Also, she mentioned LVP going along with her to a mammogram and supporting her. I remember that and it just brings home again what a crappy so-called friend she's been to LVP who supported her many times through the years. She doesn't seem the least bit sad. Anyone who could find friendships with the likes of Rinna, Erika and Faye fulfilling puzzles me.

I remember this scene very differently.  LVP had never had a mammogram before--right before they showed the mammogram LVP did a TH that it is the British thing to ignore your health until a problem manifests--but upon Kyle's strong insistence, LVP agreed to the mammogram.  The woman performing the mammogram implied that LVP had an implant, and Lisa was just so impressed with herself that she actually didn't have an implant; that she was au natural!  She acted like she should have been given the Nobel Prize for having natural breasts.

Oh, and when the doctor was giving LVP a breast exam, she said right to his face that if she knew it was going to be this good, she would have come in earlier, which is sexual harassment of a medial professional in my book.  This was before I disliked LVP,  and I was taken aback by how trashy she acted at the doctor's office.  Trashier and more immature than any of the 20-30 year old people she employs and regularly scolds for classless behavior. 

This was Kyle supporting LVP, and looking a bit like a fool by association, as I remember.  

I could see where a pattern of this type of behavior, mixed with a superiority complex, would cause an entire group of people to alienate someone.

I don't mind Rinna's hairstyle - it suits her.  But "iconic" - no.  Like you said "The Rachel", Farrah Fawcett's 70's feathered hair, Dorothy Hamill's wedge cut, Vidal Sassoon's 60's haircut - those are iconic.

I know it's been said in previous threads, but that one talking head outfit and styling that Rinna has (with the pink sparkly top), seriously reminds me of Gozer from the Ghostbuster movies, sans the red, glowing eyes!

Where was Farrah's father, or are we supposed to forget that Kyle married one rich guy before glomming onto the second? 

They ALL flip flop depending on what side suits them better at the time. Camille is just more obvious about it.

So Rinna can forgive Kim for humiliating her on nathional tv, but she still holds a grudge against VDP for something Rinna chose to say, influenced or not. Yup, the ultimate flip flop.

It's my understanding that Mauricio wasn't particularly rich when Kyle married him, but that he made a lot more money while working for Rick Hilton. So I don't think that Kyle can be described as a gold-digger.  And also, I'm not going to give him or Kyle a hard time for the fact that he has a good relationship with Farrah, though I also hope she has a good relationship with her biological father.

Also, I am not going to give Kyle a hard time for having anxiety and being a little freaked out by the mammogram. That's a totally understandable and natural reaction to have to the unknown, especially to something serious like breast cancer.

She reminds me of a skinny friend I had in High School, that while changing in the locker room, would look at me and say, ‘ugh, I’m so faaat, I need to go on a diet.’

I'm mostly indifferent to Rinna - don't hate her but can understand why she annoys others - but I did think it was ridiculous that she expected a warning from Kyle re Kim being at the party. Kim is Kyle's sister; anyone should anticipate that Kim is going to be at a birthday party for her niece.

That’s exactly what I remember. Kyle was the one who was supporting Lisa in that moment. 

I also didn’t like Lisa making sexual jokes during the exam, inappropriate. I thought maybe she did that because she was frightened and used humor as a coping mechanism. 

Sorry if we got OT, but I guess those of us who still like Kyle don’t think it’s fair to erase moments she was being a caring, supportive friend.

When they are all sitting around in a group talking, all I see are Teddi’s stubby little fingers and hands waving around. She really talks with her hands too much (my mother taught me that’s low class) and it’s unfortunate that she paints her fingernails white too. It really draws attention to her unattractive hands.

Camille got to blog this week:

"Rather than being happy for me, they found a pretext for condemning me just hours after my nuptials. The origin of their derision was a People Magazine article in which I gave the interview a week before my wedding in which I acknowledged Lisa’s words of encouragement to take the leap into marriage. I guess it has come to the point that one cannot say nice things about Lisa without betraying the Puppygate Girl Gang. It appears that any positive words about LVP will put one in the doghouse, if not a kill shelter. This is surprising since some have been trying for weeks to get back in her good graces."

This has me rolling, Esco1822!

Maybe I’m reading too much into it, but I thought there was a bit of tension between Kyle and Farrah. I wonder if Farrah resented the filming during her birthday? 

If that scene between Erika and Tom was the best they could do then I wanna see the cut footage. Tom doesn’t seem ok- does he have some dementia going on ?

I totally forgot about LVP during this episode. Love me some house porn but I’m relieved to not have to see Lisa’s kitchen again. 

Kim looks like she was ridden hard and put away wet. 

I was thinking the same exact thing.

In Hawaii she was complaining that she won't be able to take any time off (from what, she didn't say) because she had to plan Farrah's party as soon as they got back to CA.

How many times I've dreaded coming home from a lovley destination wedding/mini vaca, because there was a party to hire someone to plan. Heavy sigh.

Is Rinna’s whole beef with LVP stemmed from LVP allegedly encouraging her to talk about Yolanda having Munchausen’s and wanting Yolanda’s illness to be the storyline? 

I’m trying to understand why years later she’d want the “united front against LVP.”

I think that was the start of it, but it goes deeper. I think it was the huge fan backlash against her for both bringing up the Munchausen issue on camera and then also attempting to bring up LVP's part of it - while the fans meanwhile totally rallied behind LVP - and, on top of that, having to eat crow by continually apologizing/sucking up to LVP in the aftermath (while still knowing that LVP did in fact have a part in all of this) - and, on top of that, the undisguised pleasure LVP took in lording it over Rinna for at least one season afterward. This is  not meant in defense of Rinna, by the way, who I do think needs to learn the value of taking the high road, but I do understand why she would have a lot of built-up frustration in this area. In Rinna's mind (and I personally believe her), LVP stirred the pot, and then not only stepped aside as others took the heat for it, but played the victim when called out on it and then delighted in punishing others for their part in the whole situation.

Me too. She has hated LVP from the get go. There must be a reason. Always snarky, underhanded comments about her. Only Rinna knows. 

Maybe jealous of the spinoff opportunity that she never got. She is still trying to get the spinoff for her daughters, but it will never happen. LVP has had great successes, without having to lower herself to selling adult diapers or her own offspring.

Yes, it's all about jealousy of LVP for Rhinna.  Rhinna really feels that she should be on equal footing with Lisa, that's not how the game is played. Lisa is an original castmate and has earned her status.  Actually jealousy was also part of Kyle's issue at least the first 3 seasons,  I could see it. Kyle and Adrienne Malouf teamed up against LVP because she was angry with Lisa because Pandora did not use Adrienne's hotel in Vegas for her bachelorette party . Pandora choose another hotel because she wanted to , never even considered Ardienne which was her choice to make, Lisa had nothing to do with it. Adrienne needed the publicity for the hotel and the show would have give her that .  Once again, Adrienne used stupid Kyle to side with her on LVP, Kyle's issue was once again that Lisa had spoken or sold a story to the press.  It never ends.

To me, the question on any of these shows about "earning their place" and having to prove that they deserve to be on one of these shows is so silly.  The notion that anyone has to "earn" their way onto their show or that LVP or Kyle (or Vicki on OC or Bethenny on NY or what have you) deserve some deference because they were an "original cast mate" is foolish to me.  They are all doing a profoundly silly thing with their lives; none of them should have their feet kissed because they were an original cast member on a stupid Housewives show.

ETA: That being said, I don't doubt that Rinna does think she should have "equal" status with LVP, whatever "equal status" means.

I get Kyle's anxiety.  She has general anxiety disorder.  She has the classic symptoms.  It may seem stupid to a lot of people.  However, it is real.  I was right there with her when they told her they had to take some more pictures.

I can't stand Kim and was fine with what LR said to her.  Kim has done more than her fair share and never seems to apologize.  It's always about her hurt.  Just walk away into the sunset Kim.  Or across the road.

That party seemed like a lot of fun.  Ferris Wheel?  No.  Just no.  Don't like them.

Teddi continues to be right about Camille.  She talks out both sides of her mouth.

Tom sighting?  Is that three now in one season?  I think that's a record.  No?

Kyle definitely shows the symptoms and I also think a lot of it is psychosomatic.

i.e. her fear of flying - she was hysterical the first few seasons - now it's never even mentioned. No way do I believe "hypnosis" cured her.

I also agree with you about Kim - that car ride Rinna had to share with Kim when she was high and aggressive would have scared the crap out of me too. Kim is horrible to all equally across the board. Didn't she blame Alexis or Sophia for getting bitten by Kingsley and claimed it was an itty bitty bite?

Can't say this is my experience in NJ. Typically they only call with bad news, I had to sign a form requesting a phone call (24-48 hours after) saying everything was clear. If you don't sign that form, they just mail you a letter telling you everything is fine. The tech who did my scans called me, I never spoke to a doctor or radiologist. This whole process is somewhat scary. I'd have felt a lot better with your or Kyle's experience.  

Yep, 20 plus years of getter mammos in various places all over this country thanks to frequent moves and I have never gotten immediate results. Always the wait for a week plus to receive the all clear letter in the mail. The one time I had to go back in because something suspicious was seen, I had to wait weeks to get the recheck. Kyle and the rest of you ladies who have the immediate results, I envy you!

I loved Rinna going to the party as Erika Jayne, and Erika going as Erika. Priceless. I have no idea who PK and Dorito were supposed to be.

It has finally come to me who Mauricio sounds like when he talks - Sylvester Stallone. Or more specifically, Rocky. 

Kyle is really spending a lot of time this season talking about how much money she spends. Her comparison of the party costing the same as a certain number of Birkin bags was lost on me, because I have no idea (nor do I care) how much even one costs. I do get a weird vibe from Kyle and Rocky this season though - I get the feeling that all is not well in the Balboa household. 

They went as Karl Lagerfeld (the designer) and his white cat

[BluBrd47]

When Mauricio made his theatrical crack about "ripping the costume" off Kyle, I didn't find it hot or sexy or a turn on. The look on their daughter Alexia's face (she in her own weird sexual Alice in Wonderland costume) almost made me puke. And I've always found Portia annoying but when she pleaded "Mom, you forgot your pants," I truly felt sorry for her. 

Kyle is trying so hard to be like Kathy Hilton pimping that whole family out on camera. Farrah has always had that serious bitch face going on. I'm glad that I didn't see Mauricio checking out her ass because I was already weirded out by a fifty year old mother of four walking around in a Playboy bunny costume. And I'm not a prude either, I'd love to find myself a Happy Ending massage!

What it means is that after these years , your earning potential increases. You don't come in making as much as the original cast members . Rhinna may be very jealous of the spin off LVP has, or the fact that she took time away from filming because of her brother's death which Rhinna seemed to have a issue with . Rhinna claimed that she still filmed when her father passed, well I'm sure that was her choice, had she needed more time off, I'm sure it would not have been an issue. but she resents LVP for it. This is a Job and platform for these women, they get paid handsomely and they also get to expose or introduce other business ventures to the public through the show. which significantly increases their earning potential .

Thanks KFB. I have heard of him, but don't follow designers or their lives, so had no idea. I do love cats though, and his is a cutie. 

I wonder how Camille felt, with LVP not only not bothering to acknowledge her wedding on the day, but also making a point to post pretty much how little she cared about it, or her supposed friend.

I honestly can't think of a word to describe how little use I have for LVP. I am grateful to her though that she did not attend the wedding, Since she sucks and life and joy out of any room she enters, I was happy not to have to see her sour puss there. Same with this episode - an LVP free episode is an enjoyable one in my books.

Uch, last night pissed me off no end. That entire mammogram scene felt so scripted and ridiculous and it was a huge disservice to women who are afraid to have mammos to begin with. I used to have to get diagnostic mammos after a lumpectomy, which was benign, thankfully. And I've had my share of "we need to get another view" or "we'd like to do an ultrasound, can you do it now?" And while it's no fun wondering if you're okay, the way Kyle reacted - like a petulant 12 year old who isn't being given enough coddling while the grown ups are trying to do their important jobs - and the way the staff handled her question with "we're trying to find out if everything is okay", it was all just SHIT. I wish I knew the name of that mammo place because I'd write them a letter about how they, IMO, grossly mishandled that situation. Firstly, there is no way you can just swan in with a friend and get them to be seen the same time as you, that's fake ass fake, planned production. Secondly, the whole "we need another image" I feel was scripted and Kyle played it up to the hilt. What are the odds that she's spewing her psycho babble about "LOOK AT ME I SUFFER FROM ANXIETY FROM EVERYTHING BUT I DO THIS TV SHOW ANYWAY BECAUSE I AM A FAMEWHORE OF THE HIGHEST ORDER" bullshit, then she just happens to get pushed by Rinna to have her mammo right then and there and just happens to need another view taken because "they want to be sure". I'm sorry but when you cry Wolf too many times, I just can't believe anything you say anymore and this is one of those times. Fuck you Kyle. And Fuck Rinna too, for taking a serious issue and making it into yet another BH Ho's dramafest.

I can cut her some slack for this, but I am sick of her other neuroses. If she has anxiety disorder she should get some therapy or meds to manage it. It sounds like she had a bit of a screwed up childhood and she seems very insecure, but all I see is a poor little rich girl...and it is exhausting and hard to sympathize with.

Rinna looked good as Erika. Lisa acts out because Harry is never around.  She strikes me as a lonely person who acts out and gossips to make herself feel better about her own  life. 

What was Denise and Aaron dressed as? I honestly thought she wore her wedding dress again.

oh goody, , drunky Brandi next week. Who is next, trout mouth Taylor? 🙄

Just started watching again.  Is Harry gone a lot working or what?  What’s the story about those two?He never participates on the show.

When Mauricio made his theatrical crack about "ripping the costume" off Kyle, I didn't find it hot or sexy or a turn on. The look on their daughter Alexia's face (she in her own weird sexual Alice in Wonderland costume) almost made me puke. And I've always found Portia annoying but when she pleaded "Mom, you forgot your pants," I truly felt sorry for her. 

Kyle is trying so hard to be like Kathy Hilton pimping that whole family out on camera. Farrah has always had that serious bitch face going on. I'm glad that I didn't see Mauricio checking out her ass because I was already weirded out by a fifty year old mother of four walking around in a Playboy bunny costume. And I'm not a prude either, I'd love to find myself a Happy Ending massage!

I think most kids prefer not to think of their parents as remotely sexual and vice versa. I wouldn’t be caught dead in a bra and panty type of costume in front of my dad/step dad. Hollywood families are different. I remember LVP touching Ken down there after he had surgery with Pandora standing beside her, and she also made a 69 joke at his birthday in front of her. I would be mortified! Pandora didn’t seem the least bit embarrassed. 

I didn’t notice Mauricio checking out Farrah either. Could he have been looking at her costume? The kids seem to adore him and are very comfortable around him, so I don’t think he’s creepy.

I can cut her some slack for this, but I am sick of her other neuroses. If she has anxiety disorder she should get some therapy or meds to manage it. It sounds like she had a bit of a screwed up childhood and she seems very insecure, but all I see is a poor little rich girl...and it is exhausting and hard to sympathize with.

My feeling is that it is easy to say to people with anxiety "get therapy" but as someone who has also struggled with anxiety - and only really began to recognize it over the past few years - it's a lot harder to actually do.  As exhausting as it is for you to watch it, I guarantee that it is a hundred times more difficult for Kyle to live with it. 

But beyond that, being anxious about the possibility of breast cancer is not some irrational fear.

I agree that he's not creepy and I find some of the insinuations being made here with regard to Mauricio's relationship to Farrah to be really unseemly.  I mean, yes, his comment about ripping off the costume was ill-considered but that doesn't mean he's suddenly abusive towards his daughter or step-daughter.

Teddi has no hips she's like a 2 by 6 board.

I couldn't help but notice how big Edwin's hips looked in those white pants, but maybe that's because he was walking beside Teddi at the time.

Speaking of Edwin, his fascination with that guy's bulge was a little eyebrow-raising. (Which is why the editors left that bit of a scene in, I'm guessing.)

Lisa Rinna needs a Marie Kondo consult for her kitchen.

She needs to get an exterminator first.

I was a little surprised to see bottles of $5 wine on her shelf. At least she spent more for Denise and Aaron's booze.

There was another "Karl" (female) at the party, but PK's version was better.

@Lulabelle, I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that skeeviness.

Sure...the part of her costume that was directly covering her ass.

Nobody said nor implied that he's abusive towards anybody, so I'm not sure why that leap was made.

What it means is that after these years , your earning potential increases. You don't come in making as much as the original cast members . Rhinna may be very jealous of the spin off LVP has, or the fact that she took time away from filming because of her brother's death which Rhinna seemed to have a issue with . Rhinna claimed that she still filmed when her father passed, well I'm sure that was her choice, had she needed more time off, I'm sure it would not have been an issue. but she resents LVP for it. This is a Job and platform for these women, they get paid handsomely and they also get to expose or introduce other business ventures to the public through the show. which significantly increases their earning potential . 

This is an interesting point regarding Rinna's jealousy of LVP.  I actually do think that Rinna simply, IS very jealous of LVP's popularity and successes.  Rinna, I think, looks at LVP as doing things effortlessly and having them all be successful.  Rinna has stated that she is always working hard and is a hustler, so things/success don't come easy for her.  LVP does make things look effortless - she's more laid back and 1,000 times less frenetic that Rinna.  I'm sure LVP works hard at everything she does, as well, but it's like apples and oranges - one Lisa seems to have it all under control, while the other Lisa [Rinna] seems to always be running at 80 mph and ready for a spin out.  Just different personalities and approaches to work and projects.

Another thing - as you said, this show is a platform for them to expose or introduce their other endeavors.  LVP's bars and restaurants have definitely had an uptick in patrons since the Housewives show began.  I wonder how much of an uptick in sales Rinna has had with her QVC clothing line.  That could also be a source of jealousy.

Let's refocus this thread back to the episode. 

Whether or not Kyle's mammogram experience was realistic based on your own personal mammogram experience has been thoroughly covered.  A little comparison is usually fine but we're on page 6 of it so it's time to move on.Please take personal mammogram talk to the small talk thread.  Discussion of Kyle's experience,  limited to what Kyle did in this ep, is still okay. 

Also the Hallmark movies talk can  be discussed in small talk or the Hallmark movie thread in Everything Else TV/specials forum.

I have had my own issues with anxiety over the last 30 years or so as well, so do understand it. I have just learned a bit about what triggers my anxiety and how to best manage it. I also recognize that everyone who experiences this is different, and am still exhausted by Kyle. Maybe I just don't like her very much.
