LVP is probably playing Camille - bonding over deaths, my ass - more like getting Camille to do her dirty work. 

Sure seems like someone whipped her up.

I’ll just quote myself - ha!

That scene with LVP and Camille after the hurricane pretty much showed what happened. Queen of Manipulation strikes again!

Pre-reunion strategy planning party?  Before they found out that Lisa Vanderpump wouldn't be at the reunion?  

[CSunshine76]

What is this bullshit 6 months later brunch to sit and talk about LVP?  The show just couldn’t end without these bitches rehashing this argument?  They are sitting around discussing this like someone has died.  Come on show.

And cackling away, laughing at her.  So awful.

JFC: DORIT ADOPTED A RESCUE DOG AND THEN GAVE IT AWAY AND IT ENDED UP IN A SHELTER. She is very much the bad guy in that story, regardless of how it spun out from there.  It started with Dorit.  She is ground zero for that bullshit.

[Rhetorica]

Kyle,  "to speak my truth..."

That sums up this season. 

[sunshine23]

Look up the word hypocrite, and you will see pictures of all these women. Who is Erika kidding "You say you're sorry, acceptt someone's apology and move on." Any time Lisa or Camille have apologized, the mean girls talk about how insincere the apology was.  They put teenage mean girls to shame with their bitchiness. Their reality is not a normal persons reality. Delusion and illusion are their best friends.

[Straycat80]

Kind of weird so much  focus was on Camille when she wasn’t really on full househo status, just friend of. And then she goes crying to LVP when she was the one who make that snarky comment about LVP’s teeth. 

This season was a cluster. Puppy gate, the shit that went down with LVP, other stuff I can’t remember, was boring. 

I won’t miss Lisa V. I think Denise was a good addition even tho she talked too much about Charlie Sheen and sex life. 

Well, on to the way too many reunion episodes!

EXACTLY!!  And not one of these women will hold her accountable for all of this.  Somehow, the catalyst of this season's horribleness has been forgotten.  

I'm very, very disappointed.

[Callaphera]

Man, LVP is gonna live rent free in Kyle's head for a loooong time.

RIP to the CHA and NEL earrings. I'll miss you.

In totally unrelated news because Dorit totally didn't return them to the store for a refund (or store credit, which would be even funnier), I know where you can get a pair of gently used secondhand Chanel earrings!

Lovely garden party - and no black clouds!

Dorit is a logo whore. If you've got to broadcast it that much, you're a little insecure, to say the least.

[eleanorofaquitaine]

Faux-martyrdom isn't a good look, Camille. 

Anyway, at the end of the day, I didn't really miss LVP when she exited this season. But I suspect eventually she'll try to worm her way back onto the show. It will bother her greatly that the rest of the ladies aren't begging her for her company and she'll want to find a way to prove that she's still the Queen Bee.

I ended up liking Erika more this episode than I ever have before. It feels like she has let her guard down a bit and she's a lot more interesting because of it.  Rinna, on the other hand, felt pretty fake through most of it. 

[janie2002]

Pk looked really shook about what Camille said, even not showing up to the party. He has never been scared, there is lot of truth to those rumors.

Also really 6 months later to talk about lvp... how effing petty. Omgosh look how we are having so much fun. Even with Camille going bat shit with everyone they couldn't fill an hour?

Maybe LVP can start RHOLV.

[njbchlover]

I know this may be an unpopular opinion, but I loved Camille's dismissal of Teddi and her semi-takedown of Rinna ("Let's talk about who the REAL mean girl is....").  Teddi, to me, has been even more annoying this season than she was last season - I really don't like her, and I thoroughly enjoyed Camille dismissing her from her conversation with Kyle.  Teddi has latched herself onto Kyle and has become her pitbull - ever ready to snap and snarl at anyone who may upset Kyle.  Either that, or, Teddi is just so insecure about her and Kyle's friendship that she needs to be wherever Kyle is, so that she can make sure someone isn't trying to wedge themselves between Teddi and Kyle.  Kyle, on the other hand, is reveling in having Teddi as a hand-maiden.  I think it's a tenuous friendship, at best.  I think that Kyle is still upset over what she did with regard to LVP, and misses that friendship.

It was brilliant the way Camille lit into Rinna, as well.  Rinna deserved that takedown, although, I don't think Camille went far enough with it.  Camille should have continued the conversation, and told Rinna that if it wasn't for her flapping those huge lips all of the time, and running and telling everyone everything, half of the fucking drama that occurred this season wouldn't have happened.  

What disappointed me was Camille embracing Rinna on her way out of the Agency party, and Rinna acting all "we care about you" friendly.  Just goes to show just how hypocritical ALL of these women are.

Overall, a very disappointing season.

[ParadoxLost]

Starting at the end.

I couldn't make it through the end of that 6 month later lunch.  I just couldn't stand the sound of their voices any more.  I had to put it on mute and read the closed captioning.

There is nothing I hate more than a bunch of hypocrites shoveling shit about how they rise above other people while trying to pretend its not manure.  They have all said 'I'm sorry' but LvP.  WTF? Since when?  They were claiming that while taking shots at her at this luncheon.

I'm convinced that Dorit is getting clothes "on loan" from designers - she somehow is convincing them to let her wear them for the show.  Again, we saw the portable clothing racks in the background in her bedroom - probably with all of the "on loan" clothes that need to be tagged, bagged and returned.

And, that outfit she wore to Kyle's - the newsprint thing was done before (I think it was Dolce and Gabbana), and worn better by Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie Bradshaw.

Camille and David have zero chemistry. I bet he’s already cheating on her.

Really. Wonder why they even bothered to marry.

[breezy424]

Ok.  The six month later lunch was a production set up.  Don't blame the women.  They were given direction as to what to talk about.  They can't just show LVP six months later at that stupid entrance she made to her garden bar in Vegas randomly. 

Camille needs a xanax.

Aww.  Bambi is depressed.

Alexia has really grown up and I'm glad to see she's starting a career she really likes.

I don't think Teddi would purposely  snub Mason.   I think there was probably some sort of misunderstanding there.

I thought it interesting that Dorit didn't actually say what Camille actually brought up.  She said it was the bankruptcy + Beverly Beach lawsuit but didn't say a word about PK's lawsuits.

PK is definitely avoiding being on the show in any fashion where he can get pulled into the women fighting.  He's got to be feeling the walls closing in.  I wouldn't be surprised if there is a divorce coming.

Frankly, I wonder how much of Harry Hamlin's camping is escaping filming vs escaping Rinna.

[Bronzedog]

How much time has Teddi spent with Camille's daughter? Why would she even know who she is?

PK has been noticably absent at most of the get-togethers that involved the husbands this season, especially compared to his camera-whorish ways in previous seasons.  Even to the point of skipping out on his wife's Kitson window celebratory dinner.

I think he's been laying low because of their financial difficulties and trying to avoid publicity as much as he possibly can.

The excuse that his 18 year old daughter just moved to the U.S. is bullshit.  Is she living with them?  If so, she could have spent some quality time with her half-siblings.  He certainly could have gone to the Agency party for a couple of hours to "support" his wife.  He was just trying to avoid having a confrontation with Camille, who probably would have been happy to spill more secrets.  

[rustyspigot]

Its an odd episode of BH when the two people who made the best choices were Kim and PK by avoiding Kyle's party.

So in the future, people will serve food on gigantic hoop table in bad Erika Jayne drag. And whatever that giant predator robot thing was looming around.

Erika wore a pink wig. Shoe LOVES pink wigs. That was the only contribution she made this episode.

One thing that struck me was that I hadn't missed not seeing dessicating Ken.

What a bunch of dim bulbs at that brunch. SIX MONTHS LATER....  Well, I'm out.

Either some of them go far, far away (looking at you Miss Accountability and Shit Stirrer in chief, Rinna), I'm gone. Buh bye.

I'll stay here instead.  In my shorts, t-shirt,flip-flops, wine spritzer, etc. with y'all!

It was so pathetic. And telling.  The Queen.  Ericka thrives on people tweeting "Yasss Queen" and never tells the Glam Squad to tone it down with the Queen stuff. Jealous much?

And sit several seats down with your faux Camille concern.  "Don't come Camille if you don't want to be around.  Camille take some time off".

They have spent months complaining about LVP, the no show. You do your job.  You show up.  Shes a coward. Blah, blah, blah.

Pathetic.

Maybe Camille can be a waitress on Vanderpump Rules instead of coming back next season.

Agree with all of this. I wonder if Mason said hi, and Teddi didn’t even realize it was to her or something. This happens when there are a lot of people/noise around. Mason may have thought it was because of the issues between Teddi and her mother, but my guess is it was just a misunderstanding of some sort.

Hah...shady Bravo editing.

Anyone notice the shot of the back of Camille's head showing her track mark?

Wait?  What!

Um, I'm a middle aged white lady, in a rural part of the country.  That has a heroin problem (the county, not me), so.

Track marks brings heroin addict to mind.  Which I'm pretty sure Camille isn't. 

What do you mean by track marks on the back of her head?

 

[parrotlover]

That 6 months later lunch was beyond contrived. Well I saw LvP at a parking garage and I saw her in a store. JFC you bitches hate her so much and your lives are so exciting but let’s all talk about when we ran into LVP. And I don’t believe Rinnas bullshit story even happened. 

The reunion is going to suck and unless they bring in someone next season, not Camille,  who will go after Rinna, Dorit, etc. I’m done. The love fest among them now that they have bonded over getting rid of LVP is boring and not something I’m interested in watching.

[QQQQ]

So if the 6 month brunch lovefest was pre-reunion, and we've already had a 'popup video behind the scenes' episode, the reunion itself can't be more than 15 minutes long. They've kinda painted themselves into a corner with the kumbaya/anti LVP business, as if anyone breaks from the pack (or pact?), LVP might look vindicated, BUT if they don't bring the drama they risk losing viewers. There's only so much mileage having Camille play the villain will get them before viewers find other shows.

[ParadoxLost]

I came away from this episode really disliking Denise.

Her position on Camille versus the other women is infuriating.  Denise knows that this was a preplanned gang up by Rinna, Dorit, Teddi, and Kyle.  Camille has a right to be upset about it and confront them about it and tell them how she feels about it.  

Denise should step off. Instead she is inserting in the middle of this fight and insisting that bringing up PKs lawsuit is the most horrifying anyone could do and negates any transgression the rest of them made.

She's trying really hard to come across as the cool chick.  It occurred to me tonight that Denise is Teddi 2.0 and has proclaimed herself accountability coach but only to Camille who isn't interested.

In the flashback, the woman telling Camille what happened (not the daughter whose POV we really don't know) said that Mason approached Teddi ( after they got off the plane?) and Teddi said that she had to go to the bathroom right away.

I don't know if Camille has ever really had to go to the bathroom but when you gotta go, you gotta go.  And if you're in an unknown place, like an airport, and gotta go, pretty much all of the focus is going to be scanning the environment to find where you can go. 

I can buy Mason approached her.  I can also buy that Teddi didn't notice.  It's probably good too otherwise Camille would be tearing her down for peeing on her daughter.*
 

*Admittedly, that would make a great episode.

Good thing the reunion show isn’t tonight - I’m gonna need a minute to transition from the lovely garden party of good vibes to the shitfest I saw on the reunion preview.

[Keywestclubkid]

Erika with the shorter shoulder length blonde hair, it really suits her. She came out of this episode smelling like roses lol no drama no beef no making bitches back off. How fake of Camille tho coming in ready to attack saying she’s got all this beef then hugging every bitch there smiling like is she is a completely different personality.

It does bug when someone refers to their spouse as 'their husband' or 'their wife' when you know the spouse.  Same goes for girlfriend/boyfriend.   Men are just as guilty of doing this as women.  Yeah, I know your spouse/partner/whatever.  You can refer to them by name.

Unfortunately, I know a lot of people who do this.

Right?! Isn’t Camille open about having IBS? From what I’ve heard, she’s probably been in those shoes many a time. You’d expect her of all people to cut Teddi some slack! 😂

 I never even noticed it. But then I call the husband "the husband" all the time. It started on social media because at the time I was going through a court thing and was posting under a fake name and it just stuck. I even call him the husband when talking to people face to face and he calls me "the wife". 

We don't call each other by our names that often to each other or to others. I can't remember the last time the husband was all, "Hey, Prudence*!" or "So Prue and I were talking the other day and..." At most, it's "Hey, babe, can you grab me this thing?" Using our names/nicknames just feels weird. 

*Name changed for fun and because Prudence is an amazing name and should be used more often.

[adarea23]

Kyle is so full of shit! With friends like her, who needs enemies? She's loving that Lisa is gone! You can tell she feels like she's the obvious choice to wear the crown! Lunch in the garden, with her set up, desperately trying to be Vanderpump! So.fucking.obvious.

I didn't see it that way at all.  For me, it was an excuse to show the opening of LVP's new bar.  How can they randomly show one housewife six months later without showing the other women six months later?

They could have shown all the ladies "where are they now" except they are all pretty boring and not opening a bar in Vegas. Like yes its cheesy but Cesar's really hyped LVP up.

To me, it felt like none of these women had seen each other in the six months between the garden party and the Agency party.  I wouldn't be surprised to find out that was the truth.

They were all - "So, what's new?"  "You look great with your new hair", etc.  (But, I did love Kyle saying that Erika looked like "Mrs. Girardi"!).

Looked to me like a wrapup about how they were all so innocent and wonderful and how LVP was so in the wrong. Since they weren't convincing the first 15 or so episodes they tried to sell this.

Kyle was so obviously insincere yapping about how she misses her friendship with LVP and she still can't admit her "truth" is a pile of jacked up nonsense signifying nothing.

The "only one who didn't apologize" owes you lot NOTHING. Your hyped up nonsense against her is what requires an apology, and the fact that you maligned her without cause.

I love that on the preview of the reunion, even Dorit called out Teddi for wanting to out her, but just not be the only one.

Post reunion, I will not be taping the coven anymore. My blood pressure will benefit.

It was very reminiscent of LVP's garden parties.  Only things missing were the miniature horses, Vanderpump Rose and fancy tea service.

I will say, though, that the grounds at Kyle and Mauricio's home are stunning. No real views like LVP's, and not quite as formal, but I think I prefer Kyle's backyard - it feels more casual and homey.

Yes! And these vapid nasty bitches could care less. How telling that they all had problems with each other in previous seasons but it only took them a hot minute to band together against LVP. They're all just unwatchable for me now. Phoney nasty mean girls. Klueless Kyle, ratchet Rhinna, flailing manhand self righteous Teddy, dog dumping  Dorit and glam sham Erika. I'm done with this show now - though I might watch the reunion just to see if Camille hands any of them their asses. RIP RHOBH.

[njbchlover]

So, at the reunion, did they all sit on one super long couch because they all love each other so much they couldn't bear to be on opposite sides??  Usually, the couch placement pits at least one person against another on opposing couches.

I also wonder if this is going to a boring 2 or 3 episode bitchfest against LVP, because, again, they all love each so much, none will go against or argue with another, except for maybe Camille, who will probably only be on for maybe one episode?

Wasn't there a reunion several seasons ago on RHOA where it was completely boring and unrevealing because Nene wouldn't talk and none of the other women would speak against her?  

Not really looking forward to the reunion.
