@Chris B @NothinButAttitude OMG I would die of happiness if Nicolette Sheridan joined BH! I have loved her since Knots Landing! The fact that she is calling out Rinna makes me love her all the more! Nicollette is no pushover. Are we going to have a situation where Harry Hamlin is forced to issue another press release contradicting his wife?

 

WWHL better get on this asap.

You said it! Jim Edmonds was the true star of that household! Remember when he brought out his inner Sassy Sally at Tamra's 'sex' party and was all "ZIP IT... YES I CAN. YES I CAN. I CAN DO WHAT I WANT."

Rinna's argument is that LVP is unprofessional and checked out this season (and by implication should be fired for it) ... but last season wasn't she totally checked out and 'didn't engage' ? How is her shitty attitude that year much different? I mean, sheesh, HWs on other shows have been fired for not offering much and they gave more than Rinna did.

 

This is also what bothered me about Rinna screeching at the other HWs at Andy's baby shower to get up on the table and dance because "he gave you your careers!" Who is she to order them to perform like dancing monkeys when they bring so much more to Bravo than she does?

 I remember. He is one of my fave househusbands too. No [!@#$%^&*] to give and so grumpy, and I love all of it. I wish we didn't have to suffer through her raging lack of humor just to get a few minutes of him puncturing her ego.

Here's my problem with what Rinna's now claiming is her position, as she's seeing that the tide is turning against her...she admitted that she was disengaged last season and just did the bare minimum because they didn't give her a raise and that if they wanted her to liven things up with conflict she'd need to be paid for it. That is called not doing your job. That is called phoning it in. And I don't begrudge Rinna doing that: it's a good negotiation technique. 

 

But it's the hypocrisy of saying LVP didn't do her job that I just can't abide by when Rinna admitted to doing the very same thing. 

 

 

Nicollette has always struck me as a very strong woman who doesn't let petty crap get in her way. I'm glad she's called Rinna out on this story because you've never heard a word out of either Michael Bolton or Harry Hamlin against Nicollette. It seems like Rinna just likes a story to be juicy, regardless of whether it's true or not.

So I spent the weekend rewatching season 1 of Beverly Hills. What an awesome first season. Camille was an amazing villain. The show was so much more watchable before it became about taking down Vanderpump. I can’t wait to watch season 2 now.

 

I miss the original cast. The new ladies just don’t do it for me and the chemistry isn’t there.

Tonight's episode ... tacky. 

 

Rinna: The clear manipulator this season. She is getting all these dumb tricks to do all her dirty work in hopes of bringing down LVP. Sadly, she is overtaking and overplaying. She's gonna get burned like Brandi real soon. 

 

Erika: An aggressive beast that needs to be put out to pasture. I can't with her always being on the defense about everything. Take a damn chill pill. F*ck! 

 

Kyle: I see now why Kathy deals with her with a long handled spoon. Kyle has loyalty to no one. How she brought up dog-gate after LVP spilled her entire heart out to her was disgusting. I was here for Ken cussing her out down the road, but I am REALLY here for it all now. 

 

Dorit: I didn't care for those coke tears at all. I was not moved. I stand firm in that she could've easily took that dog back to LVP. You're a 'rich b*tch,' right? $5000 should be nothing to PK. Hell, I am pretty sure LVP would've waived the fee had they simply called and returned the dog to her. 

 

Teddi: Simp. Such a simp. She will turn out to be the biggest idiot of them all. Especially, if LVP comes back next season and Kyle, battered and bruised by the audience, tries to slither back up to LVP. It is going to happen. It ALWAYS does. Teddi will be left out in the cold and will cast off like the others. 

 

Denise & Camille: The only women at the table with sense. I loved how they both stated why Dorit just didn't take the dog back to Lisa. It makes the most sense. 

 

Lisa: While her reaction to Erika threw me off, it does make sense. With a death of this magnitude hanging over her head, I can see why her emotions are scattered about. I just wish she didn't allow these women to see her weak. They immediately took advantage of that and pounced all over her. Just disgusting.

What a hit job of an episode. That was gross. 

 

Firstly, you've got LVP being devastated and basically sleep walking through the episode as she endures Dorit's false joie de vivre, asking bizarre questions like "Aren't you happy we're such close friends?"...who asks that? She was baiting LVP non-stop. 

 

LVP was heartbreaking when she spoke to Kyle about her fights with Kim and Kathy. She was full of compassion and wisdom, and yet there's Kyle yucking it up and not getting the point at all. She's as deep as a wading pool, that Kyle is. 

 

Then we have the single nice moment with LVP and Denise talking about their experiences with adoption.

 

Then LVP goes out to that beach lunch where Rinna does the most to stir up trouble. LVP gets honest with Erika and Erika instantly becomes an awful bitch, as usual. She is such a deeply bitter, angry woman. And she took a picture of that sympathy note. Of course she did. You know why she did? She knew that note wasn't sufficient. As LVP said, the other women sent flowers, Erika sent three lines in a note. And Bravo wonders why some of these franchises are faltering? There is nothing organic about these women interacting. 

 

And then the final hit job of the episode courtesy of Teddi and Kyle. They inexplicably bring up the dog situation, after LVP tells them that all is resolved with Dorit. And then Dorit cries and Rinna and Kyle have the balls to comfort Dorit as if this dog situation isn't 100% her fault. Thank god Camille was there to point out how stupid the whole thing is and how Dorit should have just returned the damn dog to Vanderpump Dogs, just as she did with the first dog she attempted to adopt. Yes, folks, that was the second dog she attempted to adopt. 

 

LVP is a mess and Rinna and Kyle pounced on that weakness. But the one thing they misjudged was how LVP would react to them. Her quiet silence at the dinner table wasn't what they were hoping for so naturally it was time for Dorit to unleash the tears. But the audience sees through this crap because it's fake and rings false.

    • I remember seeing him briefly when Rick went to confront her about her blackmailing him. (I briefly forgot that Rick's sleeping with Claire at this time was a retcon - or her lying that she slept with him, whatever that story was). I wonder if he interacted with Kurt given that Mark Lewis later took his ATWT role. I tried to watch some of the full episode and it was all so alien and uninvolving. Roxy having a meltdown on that construction site for Mindy and Kurt's house that never gets built. Ed with Ross and Vanessa dealing with custody issues. Even Ross and Vanessa seemed flat, with Vanessa seeming oddly meek.
    • She did. It was during a party at Amanda's. She didn't literally throw herself at him, but she was subtly coming on to him and he quickly shut her down. Yes, I remember she not only made a pass at Justin, she convinced Jackie that he was harassing her sexually. She also tried to convince Sara that he was pestering her. Everyone banged Josh back then, LOL. Whoa. I must have missed a good chunk of this first time around because I don't remember Reva going to India.  What I recall is Harley being a nanny to the kids and then Reva driving off the bridge. Then they kind of toyed with the idea of Josh and Harley getting together but I don't think that ever happened. Yes, that all happens but I don't recall the tumor. Maybe that's coming up soon with the videos being uploaded to Spauldingfield. The last one I watched, she was planning to vamp Kyle while taking care of the pregnant Maeve.
    • I am a little disappointed that the show will be writing Jenn as in the wrong for her not liking Cat, when she's actually in the right.  Maybe if Cat was played by a competent actress and had a purpose, I would be more behind this propping of the character. And I can't wait for the funeral for John Black to be over and then we can proceed and move on.  
    • I'm not sure if the boy Carrie 2 seduced (I think his name was Ron) was still in high school or in college, but I remember he was very shy. I don't recall her making a pass at Alan, but she did make one at Justin, and she ended up banging Josh. I think there was an out of town business man too. Reva thought Josh and Vanessa were having an affair. Vanessa had just been fired by Roger, and when Reva took off to India, Van started helping Josh with the children. He then hired Van to work at Lewis. She would hear him on a business call with Van and think they were arranging a tryst. Or they sat too close together on the couch, so of course they were hiding an affair from her. It was very weird and blew up really quick.  It culminated at the party Reva was throwing at the club to introduce Dylan to Justin. Reva imagined everyone whispering about her and then she dumped a tray of drinks on Vanessa. When Vanessa hauled her into the ladies room to ask WTF, Reva accuses them of having an affair, asks if Van's pregnant, and then knocks her to the floor. I do think Claire had a tumor. I know around Valentine's day, Claire is making passes at a young businessman (or maybe even someone college age), and Ross (Van kinda pushed her at him because she's not keen on Calla). There's also a young intern played by Burke Moses that I think she sleeps with.
    • Congratulations to Carlos Alcaraz on his second win at the French Open!

        If the standard of play in the women's final yesterday wasn't of the highest caliber, that is not something you could say about today's final. It was absolutely fantastic tennis. 
    • When Barbara's letter was read (partly in Barbara's voice), there was commenting upthread that Barbara's voice is similar to the voice of Naomi's unhoused client June.  It did sound like her.  June is played by Jasmine Burke.  Per closing credits, Barbara was voiced by Sherita Bolden.  Still possible that they are connected. From our discussion on the May thread:  Looks and/or voices similar between June, Haley, and Tracy.   Tracy looks like Debbi Morgan. LOL so June might be connected to Haley, Tracy, or Barbara; and/or Samantha&Tyrell. I love that we don't know!
    • In the 1987 episodes, Mary has wonderful conversations with MJ and Cheryl. This is a realistic family with believable dynamics. Mary's ambivalence towards Vince is played nicely. Denise Alexander is so good here. I don't know what happened that the writers or producers just decided to chuck it all away. I don't FF these scenes. The show had a strong family that could have had years of storyline and they did nothing with them. I really don't get it. 
    • I can't speak for Sonni, but I thought Annie came off as neurotic from very early on. That's just how Cynthia Watros plays her parts, and the writing went along. I don't think Claire was mentally ill - they claimed she had a brain tumor, didn't they? I am never sure just why they made the effort given that she was leaving anyway. 
    • @DeeVee Claire is a perfect example. So many women came to Springfield as competent, smart, and talented professionals. Then they’d attract a so-called “good guy,” get dumped, and spiral into complete chaos. What always strikes me is how clearly it plays like a male fantasy—yet it was written and sold to a female audience.  I'm not a content expert, but I don't think cis gendered women fantasize about losing control of their mental faculties in response to an orgasm. Similar to Holly's story, it seems repulsive, because I don't believe women fantasize about becoming more vulnerable and appealing to men after they've been assaulted.
