S09.E18: Pardon Our French

[Mindthinkr]

I’m ready for the Chateau and food porn. 

[KungFuBunny]

How many suit cases did they each pack?

[JD5166]

I was going to skip tonight, but turned it on anyway. My sister who dies not watch these kinds of shows. 5 minutes in, she said what a bunch of insufferable C@@ts. I am so ashamed I watch this, while Camille's home burns. 

Is this the Joe Millionaire house? (Now I am even MORE ashamed!)

Edited June 12, 2019 by JD5166
Because I have horrible taste in shows.

[whydoievencare]

Kyle's still talking about how Lisa V told her to get out of her house after Kyle had told her all the women thought she was lying (and in the repeat showings of that scene, Kyle is actually smiling and nodding when Lisa V questioned her).  It's like she doesn't understand why Lisa V would be that upset.  And doesn't understand why Lisa V isn't talking to all of them.  Yeah Kyle, it's a mystery.

[KungFuBunny]

Dear Chateau Ventoux:

Please do not EVER let RHONY come to your chateau.

However if you do...please check all of Sonja Morgan's bags and orifices upon departure

[Straycat80]

Beautiful Chateau! Very classy. At least these ho’s don’t start fighting about rooms like the NYC ho’s do.

Sadly we know that Camille did lose her house. 

Dorit looks like she is wearing a bathrobe, albeit more of a silk man’s style. 

[SweetieDarling]

Did Teddi have her shoes on the table? Really? In a French chateau? No class.

[JD5166]

Those is a fu**ing joke, your FRIENDS!? Weren’t you going to beat Camilles ass? 

[Straycat80]

Is there a dress code at this Chateau? Everyone, including the help, has to wear black. 

These phony bitches, they were going to kick Camille’s ass and now they are crying about her house burning down.

[Pickles]

Rinna has on a wig in France, right? It looks awful. 

[TexasGal]

Good job, Kyle - she got all the advertising details out of the way upfront so Bravo can get its discount on booking that place.  

It is a gorgeous chateau for sure, though. 

[Rhetorica]

Dorit's voice just grates on my nerves!  I've watched most all the real howives shows for nearly twenty years, off & on.  Sad statement. But I just can't quit them!  

[Pickles]

I have to laugh at Erika in her sunglasses at breakfast.

[KungFuBunny]

[Mindthinkr]

If I was the cheese vendor in that market I would have politely slapped their hands for handling the frommage. 

[Straycat80]

Could Erika’s coat be any thicker? It looks like a blanket. 

[Grumpbump]

Omg.  Rinna's kids WHO GIVES A FUCK.   Bravo, seriously stop.   They aren't ever going to happen. 

[Mindthinkr]

She didn’t get the memo that they were going to France. She thought she was on RHOC going to Iceland. Semi-Senior moment for her. Tom must be rubbing off. 

[JD5166]

Ugh. Here we go Kyle HAD AN EATING DISORDER TOO! Who didn’t.

Seriously. And the daughter is so cured and so saintly, she wants to help others. And the Dr told them that her anorexia problems are genetic--she was born that way. Um, no. So, Rinna is off the hook and not to blame. Right. 

[Mindthinkr]

In the upcoming scene at the dinner table we see Erika without much makeup on. She looks so much better as Erika than she does as Erika Jane with the glam squad.

Needed a word to flow better. I was writing too fast.

It's pretty funny, every trip theyve gone on she wears a heavy jacket

Hong Kong, Germany, and now France

Is there any social malady Kyle hasn't been subjected to?  Aargh....

Also, ... en France, ne couper pas votre salad!

(I just remember that from a dictee and have been waiting more than 30 years to work it into a conversation.)

Kyle, so sad because her friend's house burned down, until she saw the entrance to her vacation rental! Kyle!

[Mindthinkr]

Did I see the waiter grimace as he was serving the ladies glasses of water? Perhaps he understood their conversation and wasn’t impressed or was annoyed at the crew filming and keeping the local clientele away. 

[TexasGal]

Does Kyle really think that hat is a beret?  I like her cape.  She wins the coat at the market contest that I’m sure they didn’t know they were having.

[janiema]

As usual Kyle makes everything about herself.

[endure]

According to EriKa they're in a safe place because Lisa Vanderpump isn't there?

Edited June 12, 2019 by endure

[whydoievencare]

Erika couldn't resist the jab about Lisa V.  Pathetic.  And I doubt very much that Lisa Vanderpump would have been anything other than kind about Kyle's dramatic revelation about her eating disorder.

Double negatives were my undoing. Or something.

She’s in a safe place to talk about it...not with the Lisa Vanderpump, but the Bravo TV universe. 😒

[dosodog]

Oh Ericka.  LVP is thousands of miles away.  She hasn't talked to any of you in months.

And you have to take an unnecessary jab.  Why not just say "I feel like I can be open with this group" and leave it at that. 

Stop ruining your vacation! 

[KungFuBunny]

Is this the first time Dorit doesn't have an item of clothing with a designer name printed across it?

[renatae]

Erica looks like she's wearing a rubber B&D outfit. And of course, nobody glammed up. 🙄

Edited June 12, 2019 by renatae

[Straycat80]

Everyone dressed in black again.  At least Rinna has a pop of snake skin. 

I love this restaurant and the giant chalkboard menu. 

[Mindthinkr]

Is Erika actually out with a hole in her sweater? Is that a new style for tops (I’m used to the ripped jeans look). 

[whydoievencare]

Erika really doesn't walk gracefully - not sure whether it's the ultra high shoes, or what.  Noticed this when she was at lunch with with the girls back home.  She kind of clomps along.  Ironic really, given that she's a dancer.

[endure]

Oh right Rinna normally your persona is real sweet

[Pickles]

Teddi and all of her hand/arm gesturing. Fitting that her nickname was butch. She seems so manly to me. 

[KungFuBunny]

Uh oh Teddi is going into her mode.

Now that Rinna said I don't care if you like me or not...Teddi's eyes will get red and she'll tear up.

[Straycat80]

Delusional bitches. Erika feels safe because LVP isn’t there, they all talk smack about each other ALL THE TIME. And Rinna is excusing being a c-word to Kim because she was ‘in character as Erika Jayne’. I am rolling my eyes so hard right now and I’m going to need a skinny Margarita.

I don’t think anyone is safe now that their whipping boy (LVP) is gone.

Apparently.  I feel like someone on another edition of HW also wore a ripped up sweater recently.  Maybe Dorinda (NY)?  All those favorite sweaters through the years that got pitched when they got holes.  I should have saved them.

Yes Kyle, it is perfectly ok to order a regular margarita in Europe but definitely not ok to order a skinny margarita.  Ok.

[dosodog]

I wonder how comfortable Teddi feels right now. Opening up, sharing her feelings, getting shut down.....

Technically Erika says that in her TH shot wearing the leopard outfit.

I doubt those were shot in Provence

[918lux]

WTF is with these women and their damn well-done beef??

I have a bottle of French red wine open...anyone is welcome to join. I have another bottle.

She needs to lose all that hair though.

[chenoa333]

Erica looks so pretty with minimal make up. However....what the hell is she wearing in her talking heads? I can't stop laughing! 

And Kyle disgusts me.
