RHoBH

Lisa R's trip to Oregon was touching and real and humbling. Many of us have walked this road, and all of us will one day, where the role reversal between parents, children and grandchildren gets intermingled and the caregivers become the cared for. Lisa R has my respect for acknowledging the small role she has played in her parents transition. Her dad looked great for a man in his 90s and her mom reminds me of so many people I've met in my life. I wish them so much good, they seemed like really kind people. Her daughters are typical LA children and that's not a compliment, once I heard her daughter ask if the menu at the restaurant the family went to was gluten free I had to roll my eyes strongly. They both need a serious reality check and Lisa R is the kind of tough, smart woman to do it.

Kyle keeps trying to Make Kyle Happen. Nice try boo but that's not possible because you are solidly in the LA B-List. And. She. Always. Will. Be. Because. She's. The. Realtor's. Wife. And. Just. Not. That. Likeable.

Lisa was swatting away flies this episode. The conflict between her puppies and her swan was of graver significance than her interpersonal relationships with her enemies. I love how Ken has absolutely no energy for bullsh*t anymore. He really doesn't care.

Yolanda lost so many points with me, after several episodes of image repair, by trying to instigate drama with Lisa which was thirst at its worst. Lisa had to blow her off about it not once, but twice. I really don't understand why these women think that forgiveness and moving forward means that things go back to how they were before the relationship took a major hit. Things never go back to being the same. Sometimes they improve, sometimes they don't. But Yolanda whined, moaned and bitched about Lisa being a Hollywood friend...so Lisa isn't acting like one anymore, meaning she isn't going to invite Yolanda to her Palm Springs Walk of Fame event when she doesn't genuinely want her there.

Brandi was just a pathetic mess clinging to Ken, demanding Lisa RSVP to her housewarming and going in on Eileen about who first played Billie (she worked with the "Real Billie" for 3 years you idiot, she even remembered Krista as the recast, enjoy losing $100!). Brandi is another one who can't understand logic: if Lisa was so horrible last season, why be around her? If she doesn't want Lisa to be "fake" (everyone housewife's favourite word in a fight) then why should she be upset when Lisa, genuinely, doesn't give a sh*t about her? There is a glaring lack of logic with Brandi.

Eileen silently observing everyone is the classic mark of a more introverted personality. And that's fine, her comment regarding Brandi's "renovated vagina" made me laugh. Eileen's spectacular Malibu villa and delightful friendship with Lisa R more than make up for her frosty quietness. She's fitting in great.

Kim was a non-entity this episode.

I just watched this weeks episode again because it was so good. BH really found wonderful additions in Eileen and ESPECIALLY Lisa Rinna. I know her daughters sound like asses but they are teenagers. They are self absorbed right now one day they will get it. I felt so sad when Lisa's dad was asked how he felt at 92 and he said that he felt like he didn't belong. :( it's going to be so heart wrenching when parents get that age. Ugh.

Brandi is pathetic. I feel like everything she said last season concerning Lisa and the tabloids was a LIE. She is way too thirsty to get back in Lisa and Ken's good graces because she never had a friend give her the things Lisa did and she was a fan favorite. Smh at her.

Yolanda... Girl I like you but bye! I really don't get why she thinks Lisa would invite her to the Palm Springs thing. Just because someone forgives doesn't mean they forget.

I love how last year ALL these women came for Lisa, yet now they are all groveling to get back in her good graces. Its actually quite pathetic on their part and quite remarkable on Lisa's. She is a BOSS bitch and everyone should remember that next time they entertain the thought of trying to take her down. Her tagline this season is absolutely PERFECT to what we are seeing play out on screen

I LOVE Lisa Rinna's girls and everything about her. I thought they felt just like normal teenagers, with a Beverly Hills twist. I thought despite their comments, the joy they exhibited when they saw their grandparents was amazing. I loved those scenes from top to bottom. Lisa Rinna is a winner on this show because she is REAL. Her family is real and she is unfiltered. I don't expect people to be perfect and politically correct at all times, because lord knows none of us are. I wish more of the wives took after Lisa Rinna and from the looks of things, Eileen. She's another one that is working because you can tell she is simply being herself and she is interesting enough based on her own merits. I love that Eileen is not trying hard.

Typically new housewives go too far over the top initially to introduce themselves and their brand. If you look at the new ATL wives or even Joyce and Carlton last year, you got that sense. With Rinna and Davidson I feel they simply let us see their lives and have slowly thrown them into the mix. THAT works and that is how it used to be done and needs to be done in the future.

Another thing that works for them, versus previous newbies, is that they're NOT "newbies", in the sense that so many viewers already know one or both of them. They're "brand" is their body of work. And soap opera work for 20-30 years is way more impressive than direct-to-VHS movies or beauty pageant winnings.

Great BH episode. I, too, am the quiet observer initially. You tend to learn more gossipy things right off the bat and then you have leverage because you're not all exposed like the other people. smile.png

Eileen's Blog

http://www.bravotv.com/the-real-housewives-of-beverly-hills/season-5/blogs/eileen-davidson/eileen-i-could-feel-the-tension

Love how she's not afraid to state it. It definitely felt weird watching it. Like one those scenes where you can just tell half of the people there don't want to be there (Ken/Lisa for one). Brandi trying so hard was a whole nother level of awkward.

"When Yolanda introduces Eileen Davidson as my friend Eileen, that's funny. I thought you only just met her and she was Lisa R.'s friend, but I understood the message."

SHAAADEEEEEE.....Love yah Lisa Vanderpump!!!!

It was especially ridiculous giving Yolanda's little crusade/rant on "Hollywood Friends". If you don't want Lisa to pretend to be your friend then don't get upset and all hot and bothered when she acts accordingly...

Eileen was gracious in her comments towards Brandi and Yolanda in her blog which was surprising but then again I suppose she's one of those people who's going to comment as stuff goes down and not lay down hints about things changing in the future (ala Joyce or Lisa V from last season).

RHOA:

Tonight was actually a good episode. I love that we are gradually moving towards what's to come ahead in this season.

Phaedra annoys me with her claims that she did not know what Apollo did. Bitch, please. You knew that man was stealing assets from people because your Red Box shaped ass was benefitting from it. And for her to carry on that Apollo had the option to join some of her other businesses--just stupid. Does she not think that most people have drawn conclusion that her "businesses" were also a front for nefarious actions to occur too? Phaedra needs to stop with the charade. I can't wait for her to get caught and be exposed.

I feel so sorry for Todd. Kandi shows me each week that she does not give a damn about her marriage. And how she went back and snitched to her mother what Sharon said....closedeyes.jpg She is just like her mother--a sh*t-stirrer and starter.

I applaud Kenya tonight for doing what I thought she'd do--mentally screw Porsha. Kenya once again made Porsha look like a fool while coming out smelling of roses. I cringed for Porsha getting aggressive when once again it wasn't necessary. But Kenya [the beauty] managed to sooth Porsha [the beast] by giving her hug. I said this last week and I'll say it again--Porsha was and has been pressed because Kenya would not give her the time of day. Like a petulant child, once she got the attention she wanted, she's happy. So over Saturn and her childish ways.

Can't wait to see next week's episode. Looks like Demetria is going to be made a fool once again. closedeyes.jpg

    • I'm not sure who wanted them to dump REUNION & instead do a "Dallas-like daytime show" but it seems that it def came from NBC to AW through Rauch, so, yes, it absolutely could have been his (cough-another-stupid?) decision!!!! I've just begun the new Lisanti book so maybe I will find out. (I waited for the kindle version to come out.) I would apologize for being so critical & so sarcastic, too, but, well, I'm not actually sorry!  Silverman was NOT a friend to AW.  And, I believe the critique is on point & deserved! I wanted to explain why I think the timing is off for the 90 minute show to be a reaction to the GH Luke & Laura story & its hype. Because, for sure, networks & production companies did react to it! The first 90 minute show was Monday, March 5, 1979.  And, there was some unknown amount of time ahead of that with people arguing about it & then, planning it.  The Luke & Laura wedding was mid-November 1981.  They were on the run from Frank Smith & stayed overnight in Wyndham's Dept. Store early August 1980. 
    • terrible at using forums and inserting photos, but jake in another world had a drag persona named doris, anyone know the episode or year? http://www.anotherworldhomepage.com/ffad19.jpg
    • Yes, I am familiar with Fred Silverman. Agree, the 90 minute AW a very poor decision by Silverman. I think Silverman was behind the decision to go with Texas.
    • Thanks -- you're doing God's work The Gio reveal was everything I hoped for and more. GH got it right. Head to toe, GM is a stunning physical specimen.
    • I really wonder how they'll handle Netflix's usual long breaks between seasons. That girl is going to grow up fast... makes me wonder if this wouldn't have been a better fit for HBO Max considering they're leaning into a more broadcast style of production model with The Pitt.
    • I agree -- I didn't suspect Ted, either. I think a lot of people are giving themselves way too much credit in predicting Ted's problems

      And can I have a different take on Ted here? Yes, he's made a huge mistake with this Leslie debacle, and yes, he has to suffer and pay for it. But does that make Ted a terrible human being? I don't think it does. He made a horrific mistake over 2 decades ago, and as far as we know, he's been a good husband and father since. As far as we know, he hasn't strayed or violated his marriage since. He didn't know that he fathered another child, and thought he "removed" Leslie from his life. I won't blame Nicole if she doesn't forgive him, but I also won't blame her if she decides what they have and what they've had more than makes up for what he did. Ted is getting dragged far more than Bill is on these boards, and I think Bill is MUCH worse as a husband and father. How many times did he cheat on Dani during their marriage? How many times did he do vile things in his role as fixer? How much did he hurt his daughters by screwing their friend and marrying her? With Keith Robinson coming in as Ted, maybe we'll see a character change in direction and we'll discover that Ted has many flaws and always had a dark side. For now, though, I'm inclined to both be angry with Ted for hurting his family while also sympathizing with him. I know what you mean, but I do think that was intentional. So much was going on in that episode, and I think they decided not to let Nicole's reaction be lost in all that. Nicole will get those scenes that you're asking for.  
    • That was the original point of me sending you her 6 airdates, so now with those, and the link to the daily episode guide I've provided, that should help you more easily find the additional Ruth Buzzi scenes. I will always repeat myself when it comes to defending my data that I've taken decades to research and compile. But, as you pointed out in a recent post, I am kind, so at least I will do it with you in a kind way as opposed to the usual social media way most people do with just getting rude/nasty. That's not my style, as you correctly pointed out earlier this week, and never will be.  So, all is well!

    • Ambyr Michelle continues to be *that girl.* She’s just a star, period. Elevates every scene she’s in on the sheer strength of her emotional realism and charisma. Can sell any dialogue. I wish the show veered away from the B&B-style scripting. TMG/Leslie’s tirade stood out, I suppose, but she’s getting a bit mustache-twirly. And I wish DD had more to do in that episode than stand and sob.
    • Well, that was down to CBS being weak and not being willing to just pulling the plug entirely. They didn't want to commit to cancelling the show in case they needed it for their schedule basically; plus they kept showing that they were willing to make cuts if needed to be. 
    • I'm sorry but clearly what I've said is not satisfactory to you. I have now read what you have to say, twice. As it happens, my interest at this point is looking at other mislabeled files to find this other Ruth Buzzi content. I do not see any point to each of us repeating ourselves, so I will leave it here.
