The blogs are worth reading this week for BH. They all, aside from Kim, make sense, in their distorted ways. Even Yolanda cops to Lisa probably feeling attacked and that it wasn't anyone's intention for it to go that way, aside from Kyle the perpetual victim, but it did.

Oh did he? My mistake. He shouldn't have called her stupid...much as she was being.

Ken's phrasing was "don't be stupid" which isn't the same as calling Yolanda stupid. Either way it wasn't nice...but it was, from my viewpoint, accurate.

In comparing Ken to other husbands I've slammed...note that, unlike Paul and Mauricio, Ken didn't refer to anyone as a 'bitch' or get in anyone's face, physically. He raised his voice while sitting in his chair and left.

Like I said...Yolanda's a second tier friend to Lisa and Ken. That's why she's pissed. In all likelihood Yolanda was "Mohamed's wife" rather than "our friend" to Lisa and Ken. And then there's whether Yolanda was slagging Lisa off in Paris...For a woman who prides herself on being so mature and straightforward, Yolanda really doesn't seem to handle the Ken and Lisa relationship well at all. Every time she's brought Lisa up to Mohamed he's shot her down. Mustn't have been the first time. And I see nothing objectionable about how Ken conducted himself. He saw his wife being ambushed. He defended her and he got them out of the situation rather than stay screaming at the table like a pack of hyenas.

Then why else is Yolanda such a petty bitch to Lisa? What other reasoning has she got other than that she's a second tier friend?

+1. I'm going to analyze this episode of RHOBH through quotes... "I'm glad that you're capitalizing on my heartbreak" - Brandi ...what a pile of bullshit. She's been working the pole called 'Eddie left me for Leanne!' for years now...she has written two books premised on it...and thus Lisa is a Bond villainess for being friends with Sheana prior to knowing Brandi. See how that doesn't make sense? Brandi is a little girl lost, no doubt about it, but she's bought into her own press and thinks she's relevant without Lisa. She ain't. "I have so much anxiety!" - Kyle ...and so it begins. Kyle's quick descent into the wounded wife and mother. The saintly victim. Please. This bitch has been talking absolute crap about Lisa for years now. She knew exactly what she was doing at that dinner table. Kicking it up, again, Yolanda, of course, played right into it. Classic ambush. Classic highschool crap. Same old Kyle. "You're a stubborn old man. I'm tired of your goddamn mouth!" - Kim ...and I'm tired of Kim. Full stop. This one was foaming at the mouth with glee amping things up to Mauricio about what Lisa allegedly did with the magazine. She is one angry heap of bones, blond dye and sun damage. The jealousy of Lisa is comical at this point. "Brandi feels like there is a divide in the group" - Yolanda ...speaking for yourself, eh Yolanda? Of course not. She was speaking for Brandi, using Brandi's "issues" to start in at Lisa because Yolanda knows that her "are we girlfriends?!" schtick is not going to fly. Ultimately, Yolanda fails to grasp that Lisa and Ken chose Mohamed over her and that, bottom line, she isn't their priority, Mohamed is. "*exhales cigarette smoke*" - Lisa ...I abhor smoking, but what more could she do? She was ambushed not once, but twice, within the same day. And over allegedly telling Brandi to bring some tabloids? Lisa denies it. Even if she's lying, big deal. It's not like she gave interviews about Kyle, it isn't like she was tipping them off about where Mauricio is sleeping around...this episode illustrated that Brandi, Kyle, Kim and Yolanda hate Lisa. They are angry and jealous. They'd jump on anything to try and get her, however ludicrously minor it is. Lisa said it well, she hasn't called any of these women an alcoholic (like Kyle did) or a slut pig (like Kim did)...she'll be fine, I just hope she washes her hands of these women with surgical soap.

Absolutely agree.

Christina was a ray of sunshine.

Production, regardless of whether we ever agree, controls a lot of what happens and what the dynamics are. But my issue with Brandi's statements doesn't actually apply to what's said on the show, she's edited for coherence. Rather, my issue with her statements are the ones she makes on Twitter, in print and on talk shows. She is incredibly inconsistent and, under the slightest pressure, crumbles and retracts her slanderous comments. (pictured L to R: DaytimeFan, Cat, JackPeyton) I know I can speak for Cat when I say we're all still friends JackPeyton!

I just don't like the lack of consistency in Brandi's statements. It seems that because she isn't that outwardly intelligent that a lot of her inconsistency is excused.

1. Sure, "some" is still involving child support, but don't you see how Brandi characterized it? She characterized it as if Eddie was taking only child support away from her when that simply isn't true. But then, the truth doesn't leave her in the most flattering, victim like light. 2. And that implication re: Vanderpump Rules is about money. She wanted a piece of the action from that show. And notice how Brandi backtracks, saying she loves Lisa, a far cry from the "Lisa is evil" schtick on the show. And the crap about Lisa getting Cedric deported when Brandi has never even met Cedric? What a joke.

1. The update, from the words of Brandi's lawyer no less, only states that, in his opinion, Eddie is attempting to retract "some" of the child support he paid her, in addition to the alimony. As far as I'm concerned, Brandi's tweets, which never mentioned the alimony, go to show what a liar she is and how happily she mischaracterizes information to suit her role as the perpetual victim. 2. Depends how you read the 'employee of Sur' comment...to me that's her implying something about Vanderpump Rules.

A few notes on Brandi 1. She said that Eddie Cibrian was clawing back child support from her. Turns out, no, he's taking back a $100,000 overpayment of alimony that she incorrectly received.

Brandi said on E!'s Hello Ross that her issues with Lisa stem from the following: "I felt like i was an employee at SUR and I'm not."

Totally agree about Ramona.

RHOBH Wow, what a vile episode to watch. The first thing that strikes me were the talking head interviews. They were ludicrous and show how angry Kyle, Brandi and Kim are. These are angry women. Angry, jealous women. This all comes back to Vanderpump Rules, make no mistake, they're angry Lisa got the spinoff, Lisa is the star and Lisa is the one whose making double the money. They're angry they haven't been paid for appearing on Vanderpump Rules thanks to the same production company using the same footage they do on BH. They're angry that she's richer, smarter and more popular than they are. They're angry they aren't Lisa Vanderpump. Kyle is concerned with Lisa being genuine? This, coming from the woman who plainly said she isn't going to tell Lisa that Brandi and Yolanda have "valid points"...the woman who gave Carlton, a woman she plainly loathes and called an anti-semite, a ring that matches a necklace...the woman who has befriended people (and ditched them) for a house sale...the woman who threw her sister's alcoholism in her face on television in the back of a limo when she was clearly off her tree...Kyle's genuine, definitely. A genuine bitch. Yolanda, as is becoming a habit, seemed to have a very short fuse concerning anything Lisa related. Unfortunately, I think this has something to do with Lisa's relationship with Mohammed. Much as Yolanda claims she and Mohammed are friendly ex's...I just don't buy it completely. It'd be hard for anyone to be firm friends with their ex-husband, especially one who cheated on her. Yolanda likely doesn't like the fact that, when push came to shove, Lisa and Ken were Mohammed's friends first and not hers. Brandi and Kim, mending fences, is bizarre. I don't know how Kim can be around someone who said she was smoking crystal meth in Pam/Dana's bathroom. Nor can I understand how Brandi can hang around someone who called her a "slut pig"...but they have a common enemy, and that's where their friendship is based. Even a trip to the spray tan booth couldn't avoid bringing up Ken and Lisa. I really don't buy that Brandi gives a damn about Scheana. Brandi is making a heck of a living off her divorce from z-lister Eddie Cibrian, it's gone on longer than War and Peace. Carlton and Joyce were non-entities. I liked that Carlton's badass husband was the first to pipe up that she shouldn't accept that stupid ring. That wreaked of a hit and run by Kyle and Brandi. The way that Brandi mischaracterized what Lisa, who repeatedly called it a peace offering, said regarding whether the ring and necklace matched and then immediately left her to Kyle, chicken cutlet fat spilling over her too tight top, whining away to Lisa. Next week looks even worse with even more hit and runs on Empress Lisa. Thankfully it appears Ken will be there, smoking away. Ken, smoke 'em while you got 'em!

Scary Island was truly one of the best moments in RH history. Totally agree with you re Kelly. She was batshit crazy. And not a good person. Sonja's responses can sometimes be totally hilarious.

"Life isn't all diamonds and rose; but it should be!" And it is the way she said it that made it so perfect as it had a sense of naughtiness to it. Haven't seen this week's episode but I do have to point out that in Brandi's talking heads she has said she would have fired Scheana and that Lisa should have done the same...which is ridiculous on many levels given that Lisa would have been sued for doing that...and the fact that she met Brandi years after hiring Scheana.

Nene is her worst enemy in this. What's happening is classic ego trip Hollywood crap.

Ouch. Those articles (and their comments) are devastating and absolutely on point.

Oh yeah...that was a bad move on her part. It demonstrated she had no sense of humour and was a ludicrous snob.

UGH. Barbara Walters doing The View was the worst move of her career, it has destroyed her image and whatever legacy she used to have. Loved Wendy's response: "I don't have a problem, I'm a mother, Barbara."

Nene needs RHOA. If she thinks otherwise she should call David Caruso and find out now how that journey typically goes. She needs the money, platform and exposure. If she doesn't have the show she has no career, where would she wash up? VH1? Look at Bethenny, her show tanked. The RH's can't survive outside the Bravo bubble.

Absolutely. She is the OG of the OC and the whole damn franchise.

I voted and withstood a million "This content is currently unavailable" reminders just so I could vote for Joyce a zillion times for the very reason you've explained. And I threw some votes Faye's way too, talk about a classic sh*t stirrer. Nobody tops the Morally Corrupt Faye Resnick.
