I missed doing last week’s recap on this one too. I only got finished with Below Deck and Southern Charm. I was actually kind of relieved to see that they took the week off, because I would have been more behind. They should honestly do that every year on Christmas week. The break was nice.
I want to touch on this from the 12/6 episode, which was Kyle’s dinner, where they bitched at her for not sharing her marital issues.
I think I now get this Sutton and driver interaction, that I caught as they were leaving that night. Sutton was giving him some sort of weird death stare as she approached the vehicle.
Now we know since the last episode, that she had some sort of intimate moment with him.
So, I’m assuming this dirty look was after this ‘make out’ session, and you know, as soon as you exchange spit with someone, suddenly there seems to be some sort of ‘relationship’ or situationship as they’re saying now. I’m not sure if he said something to her here, and if so what was it? Maybe made a crack about another sesh??

New episode picks up with Crystal’s Taco Tuesday dinner where Dorito encourages Erika and Denise to start bickering again. I don’t know why Denise is bringing all of this up. They flashed to a scene of Erika apologizing to her three years ago shortly after this threesome convo happened. I really don’t get Denise’s point in bringing it all up again. If she wants to address what an overall twat Erika is, then do that. But it’s time to let this specific occurrence go.
Pretty sure her daughter wasn’t affected by hearing the word ‘threesome.’ And is she surprised Erika didn’t care, and thought it was no biggie? We all know Erika, who has a grown son, who I assume was once a child, is very bad at relating to kids, and often says inappropriate things around them.
She seems to have no idea how to behave around minors, and to be honest, doesn’t really seem to like kids.
This was the issue in the Jax situation as well. This woman literally just cannot seem to relate to kids or teenagers at all. It’s weird. Even women that never had them are usually good around others’ kids. It’s like a novelty, maybe I guess. She’s just Erika fucking Pain In The Ass. She’s truly one-of-a-kind, and I don’t mean that as a compliment.
Sometimes you just come across women that are really like nobody you’ve ever known before, and not in a good way.
Dorito suddenly makes an exit because she and Garcelle had been bickering, because Dorito did the usual, and spoke to her in that condescending way that she normally speaks to Garcelle in.
I have been saying that for a while now, since possibly the first season. It’s not so much that she used the word ‘attack.’ To me, she used this word, and it wasn’t even appropriate in this situation, in a figurative way. I’ll have to watch the end of that back episode again. For me, I’ve noticed every season, that Dorit treats her differently, such as scolds her and raises her voice at her.
Denise and Erika getting into the discussion that got started at Kyle’s and let’s just say, Denise loses this battle. Of course the Only Fans comes up.
Denise brings up Erika’s financial and marriage troubles, and Erica, as usual, claims to have done nothing wrong. All she has to own is the fact that she spent the poor guy into the ground. She suspected he was getting money in shiesty ways, but she didn’t really care as long as it was there.
This didn’t age well: “Don’t come at me when you’re on Only Fans for $7.00.”
Isn’t $7.00, coincidentally, the amount of her Vegas tickets?
Kyle’s soapbox, poor me moment as to why nobody stood up for her, when she was getting questioned about her marriage, when she defended Denise, after Erika left the room, of course, makes no sense, as usual. Kyle is stupid. This is what happens when you never have to use your brain for thirty fucking years. She’s making no sense. Nobody ‘stood up’ for her because they were all questioning her, and their questions were valid. There was nothing to stand up for. Admit you and Mario are separted, and you have a girlfriend. Garcelle is trying to point out that she’s a coward, and is deathly afraid of Erika.
As usual, she’s stupid, and misses the point. The point is that she’s up Erika’s fucking asshole, and would never defend someone in front of her that she’s picking on. She never defended Sutton when Scarika and that cracra Bosnian biatch relentlessly tormented her last season.
Kathy’s so right. She does love playing the martyr.
And how many times does Kyle fucking go after people, and gets her little minions to gang up on them? Kyle shut up. She even goes after her own fucking sisters.
This woman. I can’t. CAN’T. If you’re her fan, then sorry but you’re dumb.

Sutton meets with her matchmaker again. Oh yes, her date was on the previous episode that I didn’t recap. That date with that fucking weirdo that literally sat and talked about his mother the whole time. Was there not a point when he was on his 10th mom story that he couldn’t stop himself?
The Vegas story was cute, and it needed to stop there. We get it she’s a fun feisty old lady. Telling several stories comes off as creepy. Apparently the dude seems to be into Sutton, but said she didn’t seem ‘funny.’ Well did he even give her a chance to speak?
The matchmaker encourages her to give the guy compliments. Do we really need to compliment dudes’ outfits? No, we don’t. Do we need to compliment them at all. No, we don’t.
This matchmaker chick seems a little ditzy. She doesn’t even get Sutton ‘complimenting his belt’ joke. Sure, compliment his belt. Who the hell compliments a dude’s fucking stupid belt???
******
Kim drops in on Kyle, and it doesn’t take long, until they’re discussing how Kyle’s now not talking to Kathy.
Either it’s Kyle not talking to Kim, or Kyle not talking to Kathy. I think I pointed out in an earlier recap. Who is the common denominator? I get it, Kathy can be kind of bitchy, but so can Kyle.
By the way, I guess they’re back to being on good terms, I saw a Page Six artricle that Kyle and her Morgan friend all had lunch together in LA. Yay, I’m sure by the time the next season is filmed, Kathy’ll be pissed at her again.
I just don’t feel too sorry for her when she starts crying about how mean Kathy is to her. If you all remember the infamous Aspen trip, Kyle kept relentlessly poking at Kathy. Her clothes, her shoes, she was asking for napkins when they were eating, and Kyle told her to get it herself. She made fun of her slippers, and her purse. She gave her the worst room with nowhere to hang her clothes, and rolled her eyes with Kathy asked nicely where she could hang a few things. Kathy didn’t even complain about the shitty room from what I recall. It was a bunk bed in the basement in a room the size of a closet. Kathy said nothing. She said the room was fine. Kyle seemed disappointed, if I recall, at the lack of reaction.
Kyle is a fucking little brat, who’s never outgrown her bratty kid sister era, and that is that. Kathy packed casual clothes on that trip, because she’s not desperate to impress those dumb Housewife bitches like Kyle is. And she’s not that impressed with Aspen, like these dingdoings are either. Maybe all of that contributed to her shitty mood that night, and why she went off on what a little fucking cunt she is.
Remember, Kathy is ten years older than Kyle, and with women, it shouldn’t be this way, but it is. When we get into this age range, you start to feel insecure about your looks, Especially around several women who are younger.
She tried to explain this to Kyle last season when she came over to apologize, and Kyle dismissed it. She literally acted like a fucking bratty little sister and you would think at 54 years old, you would have like, moved past that, and gotten it out of your system when you were ten, like a normal fucking person.
Kathy, accusing her of playing ‘the martyr’ at the reunion, I do kind of agree. Kyle tends to be a mini bully herself, but God forbid, anybody say anything to her that she doesn’t like, or doesn’t sit right with her. Fucking hypocrite.
She just demonstrated that at Crystal’s, when Garcelle asked her why she didn’t stick up for Denise in front of Erika, in the moment, instead of afterwards, and waited until she left the room.
She went on a tangent about nobody sticking up for her when they were asking her why she’s not wearing her wedding rings, which is the same thing she would do to anybody else in that situation. Does this woman hear herself? Does this woman watch the shows back, and see how she behaves, and how she fucking treats people?? She’s also treated Kim like shit for years. This lady is delusional.
She says in her yap that if Kathy would just take accountability, maybe they could move forward. But didn’t she that day, when she went to her house, practically groveling, and begging for her forgiveness, and acknowledging the fact that she said things that she shouldn’t have?
Kyle chose not to forgive her and move forward. And also I want to get in here my opinion as to what was allegedly said by Kathy about her, in her rampage. A lot of it seems to me to be warranted. Kyle is an ungrateful little fucking dick. I get it your sibling order kind of shapes some aspects of your personality, but she should not still be playing the bratty baby sister at her age. And Kathy should be over being the bossy bitchy oldest sibling too. Like get over it already. These women are like 55 and 65.
In her yap, she’s whining about “not doing well with chaos around her” but that doesn’t stop her from constantly creating chaos with the other ladies for the sake of Bravo, and paychecks??
I mean, isn’t it even worse to intentionally create chaos, and tear people down for money?? For money. What does THAT say about your character KYLE RICHARDS.
Do we recall, her actually physically and verbally abusing Sutton in a drunken rage last season as crazy ass head butting Dijana watched and taunting her?
Hey Vyle, maybe Sutton doesn’t do well with chaos around her either. Maybe she doesn’t do well with some drunk ass bitch grabbing her arms and sxreaming in her face? Why is it always about Kyle, and what bothers Kyle?
Ya know, woman, ya have that nickname for a reason, and it’s not just because it rhymes with your name.
And if I correctly recall, Kyle delivered to Sutton, a half assed apology about her demonic behavior that she blamed on alcohol. She talks about her mom having a temper, and well Kyle, that apple didn’t fall far.
Victim, victim, victim.
This scene with Kim was actually a little hard for me to watch without getting a little choked up myself, because it reminded me of what’s going on with my sister, which has been an ongoing thing since 2020. Only I don’t have Kim to advocate, be diplomatic, and see both sides, and try to repair it.
And I’m nothing like Kyle.
Sounds like Kim is in the middle, literally as the middle sister, but at least trying to mediate and be neutral. She knows neither sister is perfect, as no one is. I don’t really have anybody doing that for me, so it’s not been able to be resolved. If I had I think it could have been.
Nobody has the balls to do what Kim is doing, or wants bothered. She’s not taking sides, but calmly talking to each, and telling them they should at least try to work it out, with no ulterior motive other than getting everyone together.

Sutton has her second date through the matchmaker, and immediately you can tell this guy’s so much better than that other weirdo. She compliments his ‘blazer.’ That was good I guess, even though his ‘blazer’ is kind of basic. Thought with guys it was a jacket or coat. Whatever. Then she says something about his ‘silver head of hair’ and I don’t know if that one landed. Her intentions were good though.
Well, she tried. He’s just dressed kind of basic, but nice, so it was kind of hard to come up with a genuine compliment. He needed an undershirt under his shirt though. But let’s give him a break.
At least it’s not a raggedy UPS T-shirt. I think women just appreciate it if you put a little effort in. Doesn’t need to be a tux, don’t need taken to a particularly bougee spot, just put a little effort in, and act like you give a shit, and want to be there. Act like you were thinking about her. Act like you have a plan when she came home from working all day and was hungry, when she makes sure you have ‘a nice dinner’ after working. Loser.
He seems like a really a nice guy. He has such kind sincere eyes, and a cute smile. Opposite of someone I know who has dead, hollow eyes, and an evil sinister smile. Or mostly none at all, because he’s miserable and full of hatred. Hateful people don’t like to smile.
He asks her what she is looking for in a guy, which is a fair and sweet question. And smart. He didn’t start talking about himself immediately. He didn’t start telling her what HE’S looking for in a woman. I feel like maybe the matchmaker gave him this advice, like she told Sutton to deliver a compliment. I guess she forgot to advise the other dude – don’t talk about your mommy for an hour and a half.
They seem to have a lot in common. They’re talking, they have jokes flying back-and-forth. I’m loving this for Sutton. He seems so, uhhh what’s the word? Normal. There has to be something wrong.

Garcelle & Dorito meet for lunch, and I don’t know that there’s ever been a more awkward Housewife restaurant experience in Housewife history. They sit down in complete silence, which seemed to be not at all produced, and very real.
I feel like this conversation would’ve been better off taking place, sitting in a park or something, and skipping the whole food and drinks thing.
These two cannot stand each other.
Dorito is racist as fuck, and can’t stand Garcelle. Garcelle can’t stand Dorito because she can see that she’s racist as fuck. Case closed. Not complicated.
I think it’s so awkward because Garcelle maybe expected, as did I, for Dorito to immediately break the ice and say “Thank you for meeting with me, I’m really sorry that I offended you” shortly after they sat down, and admit ‘attack’ was an exaggeration, or just fucking something like that. Instead of sitting there in complete silence looking smug.
Dorito finally does speak up, and you can tell feels like she’s being so virtious by ‘allowing ‘ Garcelle to have the floor. Another kind of micro aggression. She’s ‘allowing’ her to speak first. “Oh, why thank you madame” Garcelle should have said.
At the end of the day, the conversation wraps up like a typical dumb Dorito conversation, and she didn’t really acknowledge the way she speaks to her, and didn’t really seem to care.
What’s with Housewives, and all of the hot tea? They need to go back to the hot toddy’s. Bitches need to relax.
Garcelle starts off already losing the clash, by telling her that you ‘can’t say’ a certain three words to a her, as black woman. This is not going to be acceptable to Miss Entitled-Does-No-Wrong Dorito.
Girlfriend needed to stick to the specific instances of the disrespectful rhetoric that she uses with her. She’s lost her with this robotic ‘these three words are offensive to black women’ nonsense. Dorit is not capable of processing that. It does sound strange when it’s put that way, I will admit, even though I’m with Garcelle on this one, simply because I have noticed the pattern of rudeness towards her.
She’s beyond disrespectful, and simply not nice, for lack of a better way to put it, and speaks to her unlike the way she does to the other ladies.
You could tell immediately by her body language and face, that she’s on the complete defense, and that it’s going to be downhill from here.
And here we go, now she’s the one that’s upset, and it’s all about her.
For me, if it wouldn’t have been for her past behavior towards Garcelle, and she used the forbidden ‘attack’ – I don’t think it would’ve irritated Garcelle like it did. Dorit seems to me to get very easily agitated with Garcelle. Like, it’s personal. That’s a good way to put it.
Garcelle does tell her how she sees that there is a pattern, so that was good, but she needed to have specifics and skip the ‘Karen’ thing. It’s not Karen behavior, it’s called racist behavior, when you’re in a group of friends and there’s one black person that you constantly speak down to for no reason whatsoever.
If Garcelle was an asshole, like say, Erika, or Rinna, then that would be different, but she’s not.
It’s like this supervisor chick I had, and I use that term loosely, and I worked with two black girls, thre three of us were under her, and she absolutely talked to these other two ladies in a different tone then she talked to me. And the fact that she didn’t realize she was doing it, as Dorit doesn’t, is further proof that you’re probably a little racist, and unaware of it. Maybe a closet racist, but racist.
The ‘I always hire black and brown help’ example that Garcelle uses from two or three seasons ago, where she made her comment that she teaches her kids to love all peoples by hiring minorities as her maids and drivers, is such blaring evidence of her racism, She said that with zero fucking awareness of how that sounded. I don’t even think that she noticed the horrified looks on ladies’ faces.
Then of all fucking things to say, when Garcelle questioned the comment, she says “well, my mom’s best friend is black.” The table looked mortified, yet not one of them spoke up in defense of Garcelle. That’s a question for Kyle. You could tell she was bothered by Dorit’s ‘example’ of how she admires minorities, but said nothing. But everyone is supposed to stick up for her! And never quetion her about anything,
Like fucking duh Dorit, racist people always point out that they know a black person, or have some black family friend, when confronted. Jesus Christ. What a fucktard.
She then tries to compare the fact that she’s Jewish to Garcelle being black, and refers to herself as marginalized.
And the way she constantly says ‘Garcellllllllle’ when speaking to her, it’s so condescending. When you repeat somebody’s name like that when speaking to them, it’s fucking weird, and disrespecetful. It’s a form of talking down to someone, as if you’re addressing a child.
She should’ve also brought up the issue in Vegas, when Dorito told her it’s been ‘a year and a half’ since she Kyle, and Erika spoke disparagingly about her son, and then ordered her to get over it. Like the fucking nerve. This dumb bitch is still crying about a fake fucking robbery, two years later. Her life was never in danger. Her children were never in danger They had no weaponry. The gun to the head was made up. They were nice enough to carefully lay her phone at the gate. Seriously don’t think these dudes were capable of butchering her with kitchen knives.
Fuck.
Well I guess this ended on a positive-ish note. Dorit pretended to be sorry, and Garcelle pretended to accept it.
Random off-topic obsi: Annmarie is supposedly a new housewife, but she’s barely ever on the episodes, but not complaining about it.
Looks like we get blessed with her presence next week.
We see her bitching at Sutton about her esophagus issue, trying to pretend like she’s a doctor.
No one even gives a fuck about Sutton’s esophagus issue. Someone should tell her.
