The smile on Erika's face when Lipsa was doing the most... spoke volumes. Kyle looked absolutely taken aback by Lipsa's latest accusation. This is going to be a horrendous Reunion for LVP, make no mistake. Yolanda has got what she wanted, two years after her last failed attempt. As for the fashion-- Erika: Las Vegas showgirl. Yolanda: Mistook hosiery for a dress. Lipsa: Job applicant for assistant position at CAA. Kathryn: CAA agent interviewing Lipsa. Kyle: Beach cover-up -- without the bikini underneath. Eileen: LADIES AND GENTLEMAN!!!!!! Welcome to the 1998 Daytime Emmy Awards!!!!! LVP def borrowed Erika's sequinned dress, Cheap. I like that sequined look on both of them -- looks like liquid gold.

RHoBH: I don't really have the functioning braincells left to dissect the mess OVER SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED OFF CAMERA AND WHICH NOBODY CAN CREDIBLY VALIDATE. I think we all know LVP said something. But we also know Lipsa took it upon herself to say the word on camera, then fessed up to Yols, then backtracked on a whole bunch of things by Eileen's instigation. The irony is that over half the viewing audience believes that Yolanda is faking or exaggerating her illness anyway! It's so funny how these BH women are convinced that they appear a certain way while filming. They try to control that perception at all costs during filming. Nobody wants to look like the meanie questioning Yolanda's illness! However, then the show is heavily edited and broadcast six months down the line and the audience are like *SHRUG* "Another Fake Illness by Bravo." Needless to say, Eileen looks absolutely awful in this scenario. Her snapping at Kathryn on her birthday to shut up was the least of it. I am honestly heartbroken at how bad she appears on this show -- bitter, humorless, malicious. I really hope this does not harm her career on Y&R or Days. Lipsa was a dumb idiot for STILL going after LVP and Kyle about this. All this IMO is an extension of her need to please Eileen. Basically, Lipsa needs an audience and she will do whatever they ask. One thing, though: Lipsa spoke the TRUTH when she said that this was a fight between LVP and Yolanda for Queen Bee status on this show, and everybody else is just their pawns. Kyle is playing her favourite role, that of self-sacrificing victim. It's funny that the others are so worried by her 'abusive' friendship with Lisa. It is clear from the footage that she is saying one thing to LVP ("I love you like a sister!!!") and then in the VTs she is all "Lisa lies and throws me under the bus all the time. Poor me!" LVP and Kyle play each other; they know they are playing each other and are GOOD with playing each other. LVP gets to be HBiC and Kyle gets to be Suffering Victim. This season, Kyle allied herself with LVP, believing that was a safe place to be after years of being unpopular. But as filming progressed, she sensed that the tide was turning against the Queen, so she sidled up to Soapy and Sudsy [(c) Lisa Vanderpump] and pulled the victim thing again. Kyle is a follower who basically makes a beeline for whoever she assesses is most popular and powerful at any one given time. I love Kathryn so much this episode. She has really grown on me and I hope she is back next season. She is a breath of fresh air and common sense. I could have watched Kathryn + Erika + the Glam Squad do makeovers all episode TBH. I like Erika too, even though she hates LVP and is Yol's henchwoman. The contrast between ultra luxurious Dubai and Yolanda, Brandi and Kim's budget picnic could not have been greater. Yolanda's tiresome lecture about how these two rachet batwings are REAL, HONEST friends was belied by her utter lack of humor regarding Brandi's jokes in her direction. She looked like she wanted to punch Kim after she spilled kool-aid on her purse. Kim looked like she'd never met Yols before in her entire life. Yolanda just uses them to burnish her non-existent halo.

Bless you for that link! I have been in withdrawal from RHoMelbourne! The women ARE obsessed with Gina, simply because Gina seizes every opportunity that RHoMelbourne has afforded her and is doing lots of different endorsements, businesses and projects outside of the show. So the others are a bit jealous because RHoM is all they have. Jackie has been especially strident in calling out Gina on every little thing. Having said that, I like that EVERYBODY gets called out on the show, not just Gina, and sometimes Gina can play fast and loose with the truth and needs to be called out every now and then. Personally, if I had been Gamble, I would have felt a little hurt, too. The scenes with her dad suffering dementia were very touching, however. I liked that Gina shed some light on a reality for a lot of women in their 40s and t50s -- having to look after their parents. Gina's mom definitely could pass for her sister though! I swear I am IN LOVE with two husbands on this show: Chyka's Bruce and Gamble's Wolfpup. The speeches Rick and his son gave at the wedding party were incredibly touching. It really shows what a warm-hearted woman Gamble is overall. RHoNY: Oy, those taglines. Not one of them is "Throw me to the wolves, and I shall return leading the pack!" or "When people tell me I'm fake, I know they're just pulling my leg" level. Dorinda's is a poor man's version of Camille's S2 tagline, and I am just about done with wine or alcohol-related tags for Ramona. We get it. She's a lush.

Thanks! I'm glad it's not just me that had trouble understanding what on earth they were talking about. LOL I remeber the Grillo-Moniz gossip and it sounded rather tiltilating! The Eileen-Vinnie affair less so. Oh, I think the dislike predates RHoBH. It might go back to before Yolanda & Mohamed's divorce. LVP was always MO's friend. She is the happy-go-lucky restaurant empresario who enjoys the nightlife and having a great lifestyle (a bit like Mo, I'll bet). Mo seems to think she hangs the moon. Meanwhile, Yolanda is the earth mother type who eats organic and has a controlling streak. I'll bet LVP and Yolanda had nothing in common. LVP is possibly not a fan of being condescended to or talked at. And Yolanda probably despised her friendship with Mohamed.

LVP's blog is indeed a thing of beauty. Although I thought Lisa Rinna's blog was pretty good as a defense, too. Something I don't understand, though: what exactly was the bone of contention in Tuesday's episode? Is it that "soap actress LR" [(c) Lisa Vanderpump] claims that LVP chased her after Kyle was out of earshot to say "Why don't you drag Kyle into it?" ? As in "Why don't you mention Kyle and get her in trouble with the viewers and Yolanda" ? And is LVP saying that her words got misconstrued and she in fact said to Lipsa "I thought you were going to drag Kyle into it" i.e.: "Gosh, thank goodness you didn't mention Kyle!" ? I don't know why I am even asking, but I thought I would in case I got it wrong. Like I said, I don't even understand what everybody is arguing about. It looks to me like Kyle, LVP and Lipsa (and every sane person I know who watches RHoBH) have been questioning whether Yolanda is using her illness for media attention. They got caught. Lipsa feels like she is the only one being punished by Queen (in her own mind) Yolymity for it. And she doesn't want to take the fall alone. Lyle are basically saying "Well, at least we didn't accuse Yol of having Munchausen's!" And Eileen is pushing Lipsa to go after LVP because she wants to expose LVP's 'manipulations.' Basically because she doesn't like her and wants to pay her back for asking about the world's most boring affair. Sounds to me like Yolanda and her henchwoman-by-proxy Erika are pulling the strings and running the whole show here.

This RHoBH episode had some visually stunning moments. The hotel palaces, the visiting of Dubai and the desert, the Vogue-quality selfies with the falcon, the amazing outdoor meals... Everything looks glamorous and amazing and truly exotic. Just like how RHoBH should be. No other franchise has this level of money, power, celebrity, locales and glamour! None! Despite being an LVP girl for life, she came across badly in this episode. I love her but I know who she is. She is kind of the Alexis Colby of this franchise (because British accented brunette = EVIL!!!), except with heart and a wicked sense of humor. She plays the game, and plays it well. Which is why the producers love her. I have no doubt that LVP did all the things Lisa Rinna claims she did. Of course she did. This is a TV SHOW. Bravo WANT RATINGS. LVP knows her Yulin dog march only goes so far in bringing viewers and social media chatter. Kyle knows too, because she learnt the hard way what it means to come up against LVP's colossal popularity. Kyle doesn't care as long as she can stay playing the Victim. Erika has no problem playing the anti-LVP bitch this season. She doesn't care either. But Lipsa and Eileen still seem to think this is somehow real and important when it is literally THIS: Basically the entire issue acknowledges that producers and HWs manufacture story and stir the pot for ratings. The argument also shows that pretty much everybody (except possibly Erika and Kathryn) thinks that Yolanda is a big phony, or horribly misdiagnosed and suffering from bigger mental problems than 'ze Lyme-brain.' Yolanda must be on cloud nine right now. Even thousands of miles away, she is commanding story and the centre of all these women's conversations. And everything is going her way. LVP is the Evil One, Mohammed is on the outs with LVP, David Foster is still sticking to the script re: "amicable divorce," and I'll bet Reunion glossed over her fakery, nastiness and disdainful attitude and became a total anti-LVP fest.

"He's a MAN, he's never supposed to turn around... like, she didn't slap him! She didn't hit him! She just... she didn't even call him out his name! So y'all are just pacifying it like he just didn't do anything and I cannot believe y'all acting like that was ok!" "I just want y'all to understand, like, at the end of the day, Kenya do some crazy stuff. But in this situation -- no, I wasn't with y'all earlier in the day on the boat. But even watching that back, you HAVE to say that dude was saying some crazy stuff. Not just about her, about everybody. And regardless of whether you like Kenya or not -- and regardless of whether she should have said anything as he was walking out the door -- he should NEVER have AGGRESSIVELY turned around, start throwing up gang signs, called her all kind of bitches and like he was going to do something to her! [Sheree: "And he was, probably."] It shouldn't have happened!" "WHY Y'ALL BITING YOUR TONGUE NOW?" I am more convinced than ever of the righteousness of Kandi's words. No man should aggressively attempt to physically attack a woman, ever. Nor no woman. *side-eyes Poorsha* I'm surprised nobody mentioned the fact that both Glenn and his 'aunt' Tammy looked coked out of their minds. Porsha lost me this Reunion (and I was kind of coming around to her this season). The fact that she would play the victim to "Cynthia's assault" is ridiculous She is a dumb thug who beat the crap (or attempted to in the case of Kenya and Cynthia) out of three women that we know of. She is giving it the most at this Reunion in order to retain her peach but honestly, I think she and Phaedra have brought the franchise down (not that I watch RH for etiquette lessons -- which is why I don't watch Potomac -- or how to treat your friends). They should be let go, although I know this will never happen. Porsha inexplicably has lots of fans (I assume due to Dish Nation) and Carlos King adores her for some reason. Meanwhile, Andy adores Ayden (he is wonderful of course) and Carlos is probably waiting for the Feds to arrest Phaedra so Bravo can film it.

Jiyoon is an awesome rapper and vocalist! It is such a great contrast with Gayoon who has very sweet, ballady vocals, and then Jiyoon comes out with this sultry toughness. I always thought Jiyoon should rap more but (and I say this as somebody who loves Hyuna) they have to gave Hyuna bae something to do in 4M! Can't wait to watch her on Unpretty Rapstar as I really liked what I've seen of that show. BtoB are awesome and I love that they have a beautiful song worthy of their collective vocal talent. Looking on Omona, One Hallyu and a few other kpop websites, the song is attracting some buzz from the ground up. K fans who wouldn't normally follow BtoB closely seems to like the song too. I hope it becomes a sleeper hit and maybe wins a few Music Show awards (we know BtoB are capable of winning those!). Speaking of CL, WTF already? When is she going to release this US album?? Months ago she posted on her IG a shot from filming a music vid (she had a gold headpiece, it all looked very Cleopatra-esque) but since then... nothing.

There are times when Kandi is so clear-eyed, so effective in her argument, so right on, that her sheer common sense obliterates all the tired stupidity thrown at it. This is one of those times. Bravo Kandi!

Fair enough, and knowing kpop, very wise. P.s.: I hope i didnt upset you with my question. kpop has a habit of letting the littlest transgression or rumor blow out of control, so I understand that you don't want to participate in that.

Camille, in retrospect, was awesome. She was the only true 'Hollywood Wife' (RIP Jackie Collins!) to ever grace a franchise that should have been filled with them. And her season 2 redemption - amazing. I would love a Camille return. Im surprised Jeana didn't make the top 10 - I'd love for her to return to OC. Love her or hate her, Camille was a perfect Hollywood Wife and compulsive viewing during that first season (PLUS the houses and lifestyle were 100% legit Impressive Money level). She had so many great, self-absorbed one liners, but at the same time she was edited to be the Bitch (in order to make Kyle look good, I might add). Even though she felt she had to do a PR 180 in season 2, Camille in S1 was strangely human in her delusions, spot-on in her shade and reading of the other women and relatable in the way she tried to hold it together while Kelsey publicly shat on her from a great height.. Honestly, she was more sinned against than sinning. Camille was also one of the few housewives to talk honestly and openly about her less-than-perfect marriage and divorce at Reunion, while still keeping it relatively classy. It makes for a contrast with many HWs who pretend everything is flowers and rainbows right up to the bitter end, then refuse to discuss it **side-eyes Ramona** I'm surprised about Jeana too but I guess Gretchen was too busy clicking on her picture to worry about La Keough.

IA Cheap about the song -- I like the mellow 70s vibe of it and the styling has been gorgeous. However, the song is a bit muted for a first single. I guess that is the whole point of this Velvet mini album, though -- lots of swoony ballads and slow jams. Hey Cheap, have you kept up on what is going on with Beast and Hyunseung?

I could go along with that. Gretchen has been off the OC long enough for me to forget why she annoyed me in the first place, and if it means Tamra gets a smackdown, I'm ok with that. Lizzie is awesome, as far as I am concerned. Please let me briefly celebrate the amazingness that was Camille in gif form (P.S.: dang, there were about a million gifs of Camille dancing)

The current Top Ten has shifted! 1. Camille. 2. Gretchen (!) 3. Brandi 4. Kim Z. 5. Caroline Manzo ("Lemme tell you something about my fambly...") 6. Jacqueline Laurita. 7. Jill Zarin (!!) 8. Nenester 9. Lizzie Rovsek 10. Adrienne Maloof. Looks like Heather got bumped. Oh well! You snooze, you lose! Camille deserves #1 spot. I would love it if she came back! Brandi obviously is sitting at her computer pressing that click button for the past 9 hours now. But Gretchen is probably more sober and therefore more adept than her, hence her jump to #2 position. P.S.: I miss neither woman. I can see why Kim Z is popular, but if I never see that lazy-ass excuse for an ex-hooker ever again, that will be fine with me. Speaking of RHoA, I thought Nene would be higher, but I guess it's like she never really left! I don't know if I would want Jill Zarin back, it would be like rewarding bad behaviour and opening the floodgates to a shitload of toxicity and evil. I don't think she has learned a thing from being off the show. One thing I have appreciated in the more recent seasons of RHoNY is some of the light-heartedness in the women's interactions, and that is in large part because Jill ain't there. I love that Lizzie is #9. Good does win through! Adrienne, eh. Ok. ETA: Alex McCord scored lower than Carlton Gebbia?? I find that surprising.

Ah Cheap I never knew you had a family member with LD. Yol's 'journey of Lyme' looks like a whole lot of grandstanding. Yol really isn't as smart as she thinks she is regarding this disease thing as everybody is pointing out medical and timeline inconsistencies in her statements going all the way back. Brandi not only got a trashy talking head, but on the Bravo blogs section for BH, she also got an interview slotted in as "Brandi's blog" ! I swear somebody at Bravo really wants her and Kim "watching TV with turtles" Richards back next season. OMG I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed that about Kathryn. She definitely has a masculine edge. At the gala, she was eating like a guy too lol. I can't hate her for being hungry though Erika looks like... Erika, and Kyle looks like Wednesday from The Addams Family. Hearing everybody's take on BH is so interesting. However, I feel that, in spite of the drama, this season has been underwhelming and none of the drama feels organic. EVERYTHING feels very producer-driven. I know this is par for the course with HW shows, but with BH in particular, it feels like everybody has nothing really left to say to each other and so the producers are running around trying to one or another HW up in arms about something. It is very transparent this year. And you can read it on the blogs, especially if LVP calling up the other ladies ahead of filming is true. It feels like "Yawn, ok, let's do something to get this show percolating." The fact is, I couldn't give a sh*t if LVP asked pointed questions about Eileen's marriage -- because it feels like it was only done in order to create some kind of SL. Similarly, Eileen going after LVP for it -- storyline-dictated. Lipsa going after Yol about not coming to Erika's party -- let's create drama where there was absolutely none. The only time people look somewhat shocked (Kyle!) is when Yolanda goes hard and whips out her bag of crazy and throws medical documents at people. I can't take the fake outrage seriously because everybody is doing their bit to "bring the drama." Eileen, Lipsa, LVP, Yol, Brandi... They've run out of ideas and Yolanda's illness has given her a pass, so she cannot be the HW they attack this season. So we are back to the old LVP Master Manipulator story. If people are reacting in defense of LVP it may be more that they are tired of seeing this recycled drama all over again.

LVP's BLOG!!!!! I have to post it (or the main bits), because it is EPIC.

RHoBH: I never really got the "Yo favors Gigi" talk until this episode. NotGigi#1 and #2 were completely ignored in favor of the beautiful Gigi (who I think IS adorable BTW -- though last time I checked, she is dating Zayn Malik, not Joe Jonas). The fact that the ONE Hadid child who does NOT have Lyme/Chronic Lyme/Neurological Lyme/Brain Inflammations was chosen to introduce her mother at the event spoke volumes. Regarding Lyme, I think I've gotten to the point where Yolanda could well have the illness she claims. That doesn't stop me from thinking that she is milking it to an exaggerated degree and for her own ends. And, sadly, illness does not make saintliness. Yolanda is still cold, mean, manipulative and so, so jealous of those she thinks are trying to usurp her own 'amazingness'. This is a woman who needs constant validation and devotion to maintain the facade. The fake artichokes in her glass fridge are amazingly symbolic of her marriage. David looks SO *done* with everything. I understand Kyle crying because she was moved by the Lyme event and seeing Gigi speak, but I also understand that Kyle is a cowardly person who is constantly assessing which person has more power and money that she can get behind and kiss up to. She was also crying a little bit because, surrounded by Pissy Schoolmarm Erika and Kathryn playing both sides, Kyle was pretty much told off for being in Rinna and LVP's camp and not drinking the lemonade. The way Erika talks down to all these women is really off-putting. She really cannot stand them, can she? I guess she only likes paid, gay minions. Brandi looked like she is auditioning for bad porn in her talking ahead. And telling Lipsa she needs to eat something? Brandi looks like a hungry, de-skinned chicken bone! With fillers. Eileen's outfit, woah. Look at everybody lying at LAX saying she looked great. She did not. On Reality Tea somebody described it as "looking like she comes from Dogpatch, USA." Interesting that they showed the clip of the Eileen-Lipsa conversation where Lipsa said she wants nothing more than to be best friends with Yolanda... but that every instinct is telling her to run far, far away. That would be my instinct too, because Yol would not hesitate to turn on you in an instant! Also interesting that Lipsa wants to be her BFF. That maybe explains why she is trying to pass the buck and say LVP Made Me Do It. It is such a change from her blog about a month agao where Lipsa was all "COME AT ME BITCHES. I HAVE BONES TO PICK WITH ALL OF YOU." I loved that blog! I can't with next week. It is (as Judge Judy would say) a whole lot of Who Shot John.

When you say 'bad skin,' what do you mean exactly? I cannot really tell on my computer screen because A. her makeup covers up a lot and B. the pixelation isn't quite HD enough. Does Kenya have a discoloration problem? Skin texture? Acne? Kenya made a bad strategic decision at Reunion to go hard in an effort to cement her place as 'star' on the show, but it backfired when Kim put Kenya back in her place. I thought Kim across well this first segment without losing her cool too much. Kenya? Not so much? It's not just the delulu 'I'm the star' claims (which I'm sure Nene will try to debunk when she swings by) but it was the desperation in her face, voice, attacks. Back in the day, Kenya's shade and pranks had this I-can-laugh-at-myself quality. Now they just seem hard and mean and desperate and past their sell-by date. Sheree and Kandi were giving me life whispering like a couple of schoolgirls on the sofa. Phaedra remains as slippery as ever and I'm sure Andy will let her off scot-free despite the fact that EVERYBODY knows she is as corrupt as Apollo is. I was surprised at how ok I was with Toyota. I expect that to change when they show the footage of her beating down her assistant, though.

Haven't watched in two seasons. So sad, as this used to be one of my favourite franchises, but the Gorga infestation and Teresa's legal issues which she nobody could really talk about on tape really ruined this show. No talk about RHoMelbourne? RHoBH? I'm surprised. Melbourne was good, although it's just started and is a bit of a slow burner so I myself don't really have all that much to say. Except that watching it is really enjoyable! As for RHoBH... sigh... where to start? Y'all should read Eileen's blog. I think she wrote it in the heat of the moment, right in the wake of what was a tough Reunion, but it doesn't come across that well, and LVP responded by taking the high road in hers. It hurts me to see My Eileen (yes, she's always been my ED -- can't turn my back on my years of watching Y&R and Days!) who I will always admire for her talent and class, reduced to this. And facing a barrage of criticism on social media. I hope this does not impact on her day job. I have a feeling JFP gave her some semblance of a SL on Y&R to take advantage of her higher profile on RHoBH. I am grateful for it but don't want it yanked with this perceived backlash to Eileen's actions on BH. All I know is that Eileen and LVP just do not really mix as personalities. And she feels that LVP mentioned the affair to put her down. It's as simple as that. Eileen knows she is a smart and erudite woman, but so does Yolanda, and it is clear that these two feel they are in some way 'better' people than LVP. (I will always remember the finale of Season 4 BH when Yolanda sneered at Ken "My husband would never be seen with the likes of you!"). It feels weird feeling some sympathy for the people on this show going after LVP who is my ride-or-die girl. (After all, last year, I could not stomach Brandi or Kim). This is going to not end well for either Lipsa or Eileen, or Erika who so clearly despises Lisa in a weirdly competitive way. It makes me sad because despite all that, I actually like Erika and think she is great on the show. I like that she doesn't hold back. I don't think Tom will want her to continue into next season though. He got a taste of the mess with that dinner party. And tbh if guests to my house had treated me so rudely, I would have reacted the same way as Erika and Tom Girardi. Having said that, Erika needs to stop with the 'real friends' shtick she has going with Yolanda. It's been three years of Yolanda yapping about "real friends, not Hollywood friends" and I still don't know what she wants out of her real friends. Unquestioning worship? A nursemaid? Seeing Yolanda in NY at the party in the suite was eye-opening. Just like when she can attack Lisa indirectly through minions, so Yolanda thrives on making these kind of "my journey" thank-you speeches. She is in her element. I had to remind myself what a farce this all was, especially the lovey-dovey stuff with David Foster. It's so clear that David is ready to check out, and that this is the last duty he really has to fulfil before both of them call it a day. Seeing Yolanda so happy and rosy-cheeked almost made me think that she really loved her 'King'. However, maybe she loves the adulation and admiration of an audience more, and that's why the marriage fell apart. She stopped needing him and attending to him when she started seeking out validation from her fanbase.

And it seems especially that the OP of this entire thread get the 1,000th post! I like Guess Who but I wish we could have seen the boys and their faces in that lyric video. Still, I liked the underground, secretive tone of the mv. I am so pleased they are getting a release after some sad rumors recently about Hyunseung seeming ready to quit and some Korean fans taking exception to his perceived attitude. I am also glad that Beast are releasing it under their own label and have much more control over their careers. Cube seems to be in some financial mess and I'm just hoping Beast and 4minute get a chance to do their thing and get some success because I don't think Cube was doing a stellar job with either of them for the past year.

THIS. I notice that whenever they have a stage performance or product to promote, then they start the pander towards "mah gays." It's a money thing. But the disdain seems to be just below the surface -- just ask Brandon. It's ironic that they damn Chris with effeminate stereotypes, but he seems to be genuinely close to, loving and protective of his wife, gay, straight or whatever.

Yass I hope she got her ass dragged for her manipulations and inconsistencies. Where did Lipsa and Eileen go? Both? Neither? Wendy's? (Hell, I'd go to Wendy's too!)

OMG! That RHoA Reunion trailer looks EH-PIC! And the way everybody said "Oooooo" at the end! I agree with Antoyne, Kim is going to earn her stripes at this Reunion. I see Cynthia being a non-factor, however. That seating plan is so atrocious. Who OKed this?? Love her or hate her, Erika should not be at the end of the couch. She brought drama to the season. It should really be (from L to R): Kathryn, Kyle, Lisa V, Andy, Lisa Rinna, Yolanda, Erika, Eileen. Or Lisa R on the Vanderpump couch with Kyle bumped to third.

Welp. Apparently David Foster might be seeing somebody... ...and it is Selma Blair, of Cruel Intentions fame and who is currently playing Kris Jenner on The People vs. OJ. http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/david-foster-and-selma-blair-spotted-on-a-dinner-date-w166442

I thought you guys were joking but DAMN Gillian has a strong jaw on her! Petty would do well to listen to her sister about the fact that she is stuck up, self-absorbed and fake, and that's why people feel alienated from her. Gillian said it bluntly and simply but I guess Petty didn't absorb that advice. She almost -- ALMOST -- had the ladies on-side regarding Lydia, and really played the victim thing to the hilt. However, her true colors showed through when she took Gamble handing her invitation out last as a personal affront and tried to make the situation All About Her. Right on, Gamble! Throw that bitch's invite into the ocean! Janet's talking head was hilarious. Lydiot is truly the dumbest bitch alive. And the most condescending. The HWs have clearly edged her out of the group for a while because she's a fake-ass and a snake (qualities needed to stir the pot on these shows, lbr) -- the only scenes she can show us are of her and her poor housekeeper. I don't know what to think of her husband giving her a car and not being around to give it in person. Also, I thought Lydia was looking a bit porky in the face at Gamble's party. I've always thought Lydia was one of the naturally most gorgeous HWs in all the franchises, but her face was hella bloated. Is it stress eating? Trouble at home? Booze? Or just one of those days where you are not looking your best? Maybe a combination of all four. In any case, even Chyka was like "Lydia is dead to me" during the episode so I don't think things are looking up for the Lydiot. Gamble and Wolfpup are just too cute with each other.
