Because I honestly don’t pay attention to the intros, I am embarrassed to say that I never realized they were holding giant ‘diamonds.’ I was just watching something online, and it showed that they were originally supposed to hold a glass of champagne, but decided to change to diamonds because of Kim’s alcoholism.
Picking up right when Erika tells Crystal she can’t have a chicken tender, after they were discussing her eating disorder that she thinks she has. And of course NO ONE says one fucking thing to Erika. Why are they all so afraid of her? Crystal doesn’t even react to it. She looks pissed off though. She was going to take one, she’s probably starving, and she just walks away looking defeated, and does not take one from the server.
Well guys, girls, everyone, rest assured, we will be hearing about this in 2023, and how ‘dark and problematic’ that was. (at least this was on camera) She’ll probably come up with some new adjectives. She has a year to find some suitable melodramatic words. Or maybe she’ll just ask Rob. I just don’t get how this hoe is even more insufferable.
Kathy thinks she has met Sheree before, insisting she never forgets a face, but Sheree assures her she has never met her. Sheree should’ve said, “who are you again?”
Did not know Diana’s cute little child-husband was a singer. He kind of does sort of look like one though. Guess it’s the hair. He IS freaking killing it, and there are some high notes in ‘Noel.’
Erika is wasted (again, or still, or faking as a lot of viewers on social media think, I personally don’t think she’s that good of an actress) and trying to sing along, and doesn’t know the words nor the notes.
And it’s awkward and embarrassing. The usual for Erkia. She’s insulted Garcelle’s son last week, insulted Crystal tonight, so who’s next? Diana’s singing husband. Wonder who’s up on tomorrow’s episode.
NO ONE SAYS A WORD. What if it was Sutton or Garcelle doing that? We would see Kyle’s snarly teeth again. And Diana would FREAK the fuck out! But she’s doing an exaggerated over compensating type laugh, trying to pretend she’s not bothered, (when you know she wants her to stfu) since it’s one of the “cool girls.” (not Sutton or Garcelle) So Sutton got the toothy snarl for helping Jamie Lee Curtis with the eyelash glue from Kyle, but Erika singing way off tune, while someone has the floor, just gets a glance. I’m also sure that was very distracting for the poor little kid. It may have been okay and funny, if she could really sing. I think I could have done as good of a job as she did, or as bad of a job I guess I should say.
Erika apologizes to Kathy for not attending the various wedding events she claims she was invited to, and starts rambling about scorn, and scarlet letters or some crap. I guess ‘jealousy’ is what she’s trying to say. No, she is definitely wasted. I’m not in agreement with the crowd that says she’s faking the drunken moments, to distract from talking about Tom and the stealing and what-not. She is not a great actress. If she were such a great performer and actress, well they wouldn’t even be in this boat, now would they? Because she would have been a success and perhaps made some coins instead of just being a liability. Then he wouldn’t have had to spend others’ money. She’s weepy now, and getting the awwwww’s, and making it a whole big thing, when Kathy could not care less if she attended or not. I’m sure it was a pity invite anyway. Now that she’s seeing this, I’m sure she’s glad she declined. “But please, explain to Paris and Nicky…” Everyone looks embarrassed for her, but is trying to be sympathetic and act like they’re not.
You gotta give Kathy props for maintaining a straight face through this. I think Kathy’s actually the actress. Erika, Kyle or Rinna couldn’t have pulled this shit off. (Didn’t she dabble a bit too, when she was a child. since their mom was trying to make them all cash cows for her? I think I read that.)
Well Diana tries to bring this whole cringy thing to an end, and changes the subject, by saying “cheers to that!!” when Erika slurs “Paris looked fucking beautiful!” She still tries to go on. Now Kathy IS looking annoyed. (There’s those pearl hoop earrings again. Heather on Salt Lake had those too. They’re so cool.) Kathy says she’s cold, and high tails it inside, far away from this wacko.
Inside Kyle is gossiping and snickering about Sutton to Crystal and Garcelle about Sutton being excited to attend this evening’s festivities at Diana’s, (when she didn’t think she would be due to their friction) then testing positive for covid. She is doing the ‘pretending to be concerned thing’ like she did with Erika last year, but just wants to gossip about someone else’s misfortune. (so do they have to take these tests before they attend every event?)
Kyle brings up that she feels bad that she’s lonely, and alone for Christmas. Kyle says “it really broke her heart…” okay take it easy Vyle, you’re laying it on a bit thick. You’re enjoying it. I’m sure they DON’T feel bad. Garcelle says that Sutton said – “since you had it already, maybe you can stop over…”
Kyle looks shocked and says “meeeeee??” (actually Kyle also had it last year…) No silly VyleKyle, we wouldn’t expect YOU to go out of your way just for Sutton !!! She’s not in your high school cool girl circle as Rinna, Erika and Dorito are. I am sure if they were alone with covid, you would stop over.
She’s such a fucking DICK !!
“I’ve never spent Christmas totally alone, have you?” as she smirks. (Reminder – she is sick) Well if you feel so bad, (she doesn’t) why don’t you take her a casserole? Wear a mask and stay 6 feet away since all that shit works they made us do like a bunch of idiots. Whatever – Kyle is horrible. Spare us the fake concern.
The subject switches to Erika – “Oh good” Kyle is probably thinking, “someone else whose life blows to make me feel even better.“
Kathy joins this group and says Erika’s drinking is getting out of control.
Kyle, the idiot that she is, still insisting Erika is “loosening up” and WE are cutting her some slack. Garcelle’s reaction to that is correcting her to “YOU are cutting her slack. I’m not.” I like that Garcelle is standing up to Kyle.
Back and forth scenes, and Rinna is telling Erika to put her 18th champagen cocktail thing down.
Then she starts rambling about Amelia, and various anti-depressants. Not even following wtf she ‘s saying, honestly. Maybe if I had a few drinks I could.
Everyone is in denial, is the way that Garcelle puts it, which is accurate. Or just pretending to be in denial. Kyle is looking at the floor because she knows she’s right, but knows she needs to stick up for Erika, no matter what. Not sure if Bravo is ordering (paying) her to, she’s afraid of her, or she’s that stupid. All seem very possible. I can see on the boat thing in Mexico, when she had too much, and was acting strange, that excuse flying. But at every event, it now is just too much.
Kyle claims she’s so ‘ultra sensitive’ to them saying that Erika has a drinking problem. She explains, “if you have a sibling that has a drinking problem, you are careful with that label” or some horseshit that makes no sense. It does make sense though, that Kyle makes no sense. When does she?
She says in her yap that Garcelle was “baiting her.” Baiting her for what ??? So at the reunion she can be like “I wasn’t calling you an alcoholic, Erika, that was all GARCELLE!!” Is this some sort of retribution for last year when she and Dorit and the guys were ridiculing her outlandish story about Tom and the burglars, and her son crashing in the snow? Why is she so loyal to Erika of all people? She’s more loyal to this trashy bitch than she was to her OWN sister? She never minded throwing Kim under the bus?? that very infamous scene in the limo in an early season (I did not watch first few years, but have seen this scene like 100 times…) when Kim tells Kyle “you stole my goddamned house!”
To me, it seemed like Kyle DID steal her goddamned house, (I have read that house was purchased by their late mom, from Kim’s acting earnings) because Kyle responds by throwing her drinking problem in her face, “Mom died worrying about you…” Well maybe if she wasn’t used, and worked to death as a child, supporting you and your trashy mom, she wouldn’t have a drinking problem, Kyle !! God – this woman!! She and Erika deserve each other.
But in reality, if Kyle were an intelligent person, (I know) and/or refusing to be ‘bought’ by Bravo, I think, having an alcoholic family member, would make you more concerned, and better at recognizing the early signs of POSSIBLE alcoholism. Showing up to events intoxicated, and then getting black-out drunk at three different events, is not good.
Garcelle points out how she attacked Sutton last year, and Kyle answers, “that wasn’t drunk behavior.”
What?? It does show that she’s unstable, and has a weird temper. So you think it’s okay to add 10 cocktails to that ??
So far she does seem to be just a silly embarrassing drunk, but you never know. No one has ticked her off while drunk yet. Cuz you’re all sitting there egging her on and laughing with (at) her, and making excuses for everything she does.
Erika is slurring through a convo with Diana and Lisa, and they’re both sitting there trying to act like they’re listening, and caring. Diana laughs at her and rubs her shoulder when she says something really dumb. She offers for her to stay over. Erika is getting special treatment for kissing Diana’s ass because she’s rich. The non- ass kissers would NOT be having an invite to sleep over. I wish she would have, actually, because she probably would be hitting on Diana’s son or husband. Now that might be where Diana draws the line with her.
Erika is leaving, and falls. Diana is laughing uncontrollably. Rinna is loving her caretaker role.
Sure, Kyle this is GREAT ! What are we all thinking? Maybe since Kyle thinks this is so cute, she should deal with her when she gets like this.
Diana apologizes to Garcelle for acting inappropriate at her party, which is kind of surprising. Diana says that “she sees it in her eyes that she likes her.”
What a weird and awkward thing to say, especially when you’re such an unlikable person, who walks around talking about head butting and murdering people that piss you off.
Garcelle just has kind eyes, and tries to see the good in people, even when they behave badly. She’s accepting her apology because she is a decent human, and doesn’t intend to make Diana’s odd behavior her talking point (aka story line– pay attention Crystal) for the rest of the season into next year. That’s it, Diana. No one likes you. The viewers hate you. Kyle Rinna and Erika are being paid to be your friend. Some viewers think she was just on here to promote her kid’s singing, I mean husband’s.
Diana claims she didn’t intend to behave that badly, but Sutton pressed her buttons. I call bullshit on this excuse. She walked into this event HOT with every fucking intention of acting like an ass. From the shady ‘gift’ and commentary to Garcelle, to her horrific interactions with Sutton.
Garcelle doesn’t like her or respects her at all, from what I can tell. She answers just an unenthused “yeah” to her insistence that she likes her. Then Diana proceeds to be the shady asshole we all hate in her yap, and says it was just because Sutton wasn’t there that she acted approachable. This lady ! She’s unbelievable.
Kathy hides Kyle’s purse. She thinks it’s because Kathy wants her to stay. Maybe someone should tell her? She really doesn’t know Kathy can’t stand her?
So PK and Dorito talk about his ‘alleged’ DUI. He claims he only had one glass of wine. Dorito in her yap, “he was driving home after having a glass of wine…” Okay Dorito, please give the Housewife viewers and fans SOME credit for not being idiots. We alllllll know he didn’t have “a glass of wine.” Maybe a bottle of wine. Maybe a glass of wine and three bourbons…
She goes on in her a yap, “three weeks later, the press has found out, magically, (not magic Dorit, police records are NOT top secret. In my area, police reports are published in the newspaper.) that PK was pulled over for DUI.”
He claims he blew a 0.81, and was worried about being late. The second time he blows a .73, so they just gave him a citation, and he wasn’t arrested? Am I hearing this right? Wouldn’t it make sense that when they waited a little (not sure of the time lapse) and test again, that it is going to be lower?
It doesn’t mean he wasn’t drunk. Sounds like he played the “don’t you know who I am??” game, and the boys cut him a break. She rambles about lying being bad, and they have some fake sounding argument that sounds like damage control, and he just wanted to go on record making the point that he was under the legal limit on the second try.
He claims he didn’t wasn’t going to tell her immediately, but he did, like he wants an award for that. She gets all dramatic and points out she needed to pick up his car, so he had to come clean.
Pretty sure PK had more than “a glass of wine.” I think that’s very typical of someone that gets a DUI, to downplay, or lie, about how much they drank. I know he was right on the line, (so he says) but still one glass of wine is not going to make a 220 lb man blow an .081. Not buying it.
Super cringy Erika scene that we have to watch, knowing she knows the money Tom spent on her, and transferred to her account for the past several years, was all stolen. She talks about all of her material “things” and that there is a big hole in her life, aka her “things.”
They flash to some of her showing off scenes when she was still with Tom, and we thought they were a couple of high rollers, and Tom was a very impressive attorney that was one of the lawyers for the victims of the PP&G plant that we all know about from ‘Erin Brockovich’
She brags that she’s “gonna get it all back by working her ass off” Yeah okay, who all thinks Erika will be able to get that lifestyle back on her own??? She went the hair extensions route since she just knows so much about them from her failed pop singing ventures for “well over a decade.”
Should you really be bragging about a ‘career’ that you had for ten plus years that not only did NOT turn any profit, but was way way way in the red??
As we know, she and Tom could not care less about the money they stole from victims. Well, actually, Tom MAY feel a little bad about it. But she doesn’t. I’m sure she’s even glad that she got the shit and the experiences that she did from Tom’s money and stealing from his clients. She’s so stupid she thought it was a bottomless pit. Never even occurred to her, since he was in his 70’s, and something happened, then what? Or even if he just decided to retire?
I think that he may have started out small, in his scamming his clients out of their law suit winnings, a little here, a little there. Intended to make good on it in the near future. He also may have assumed Erika’s stupid concerts and pop ‘career’ would be turning a profit at some point, and then he could put the money back he used. Maybe she would have if she wasn’t so obsessed with spending it like it was water.
Then in his desperation to please and impress Erika, who let’s face it, has a spending/shopping addiction, he started resorting to stealing more, and more, until he was completely in over his head.
Now we have Rinna giving a little tough love to her, and explaining to her that it’s dangerous to be mixing the drinks and anti-depressants. Her assistant dude seems to me to be more on the enabling bandwagon. He points out that for 12 – 15 years, you were ‘not a drinker.’
It’s being talked about that he was part of the ‘frank’ conversation with her, but I think he was sounding more like he was making excuses for her like Kyle does. Social media has been buzzing about that scene being rehearsed.
To be honest, I didn’t get that feeling at first, but probably. Maybe I’m still not wanting to face the fact that the Bravo shows have been going downhill, and are no longer ‘real.’ The ladies have now made the reality shows their actual ‘careers’ so they’re desperate to stay relevant.
Now they really are ‘Desperate Housewives’ just as the namesake for the title of the shows was. Maybe since that series is no longer on, they can just use that title, instead of a variation of it.
Rinna talks about her older sister that passed away when Lisa was only six, from substance abuse. Well who knew of all people Rinna, would be the voice of reason here.
It is kind of funny that Garcelle has been saying this in the last few episodes, and everyone was telling her to shut up. Now that Rinna, the dumbest of all, says it, it’s the fucking gospel. She blatantly tells her to she needs to knock it off now. She admits that it’s been too much.
Wonder what Kyle was thinking watching this. Do you think it was, “Well I fucked that one up because I was too busy sucking up and worried about making her mad at me.” Funny how Rinna used her experience with a sibling’s addiction issue as a reason for Erika to back it down, and Kyle used HER sibling’s addiction as a reason to just let it slide, and not ‘label’ her. Kyle’s just not the sharpest. But that’s okay, she has other talents, like running clothing boutiques !! LOL!!
Now we just need idiot Kyle to stop being such a fucking ding dong, and making excuses for her.
“We love seeing you like this Erika, Drink Up! Cheers to you making a fucking fool out of yourself at every event!” She likes seeing people struggle and embarrass themselves.
Sutton and Garcelle have a little talk, and Sutton talks about how bad it was being by herself over Chirstmas, with Covid. Well if it’s any consolation, Kyle felt really bad for you ! Just kidding.
Sutton is going on a date. Her second date with this dude that she was talking to when she had her Housewarming party. She’s getting back up on the horse. Her outfit, to me, is leaving a lot to be desired. She’s not wearing “ugly leather pants” however she’s wearing ugly leather shorts, and a kitten sweater. A kitten sweater that I’m sure is designer, but looks like it came from Target in the girls’ department. She should have went with the valentiney one. Still whimsical, if that’s what she was going for, but not stupid.
Dorit arrives at Kyle’s, and Kyle asks her, “did you drove here YOURSELF?” Seriously Kyle? First of all what a pretentious thing to say. These bitches don’t drive themselves at all ??
Second of all, maybe you haven’t gotten the memo: they’re flat broke. So yes this poor poor distressed soul, had to drive herself five miles. Better check if she’s okay. I am sure that’s exhausting. She better take a nap.
They immediately get into the DUI. Dorit is still puzzled how the press got that info, that’s available to the public. Kyle tells her that he told “Mo” knew about it, but didn’t tell her. ( I cannot with this MO shit. Dude, you can’t suddenly give yourself a nickname after ten fucking years, and have everyone say it, like it’s normal)
Kyle whines in her yap that it hurt her feelings that ‘Mo’ didn’t tell her. I have to chuckle every time she calls him this stupid name.
Kyle, shut up, he didn’t tell you because PK clearly didn’t want it getting out right away. And holy fucking shit – news flash — you’re a blabber mouth!!
Kyle says“you wouldn’t think PK being a big guy, one drink wouldn’t affect him that much?”
Again Kyle, think. Use that thing on your shoulders for something other than housing your stringy hair. PK obviously is lying. Clearly he had more than one drink. Who the hell has one glass of wine anyway? I would probably blow over a .08 after TWO glasses of wine. Then again I weigh 110.
Sutton is on the second date with her Bumble dude. Wonder how much they had to pay this dude to be filmed on this awkward second date? What’s with her Kettle One on the rocks and grapefruit juice ON THE SIDE thing she’s doing lately?
They seem to have a lot in common. He likes the Go-Go’s. (kind of weird for a guy, but okay) They talk about 80’s music. Sutton decides to talk about how her foot is itching from some itching conditions she has. Just when I thought it wasn’t totally awkward, Sutton talks about a third date, and he takes a huge swig of his beer and doesn’t answer. Maybe she shouldn’t have worn a kitty sweater, or talked about her itching issue.
Erika and Garcelle meet for dinner. Erika’s sex life is better than her dating life she says. Who wants to picture that? So she’s just doing wham-bam thank you ma’am kind of stuff. Probably more old rich dudes.
She orders a chamomile tea, but they don’t serve hot beverages upstairs which is weird. The server can’t walk down the stairs I guess to please her customer, who’s paying her. She then orders straight hard alcohol. Same thing. Only slightly different.
This meeting seems awkward. They’ve asked each other how they are, like fifteen times. They can’t even stand each other. Erika seems fine to admit she was “blacked out” at Diana’s party. She is blaming the meds she’s on, but guys, she also had SEVERAL of those champagne cocktail things. And at Garcelle’s party, she had SEVERAL margaritas.
And she’s sucking them down quickly. I would think, even if she was NOT on meds, she would still be blacked out drunk. Who knows if she’s even taking anti-depressants. That might just be an excuse to make it sound better.
Erika calls Sutton a ‘liability’ to Garcelle, who she knows is her good friend. She then calls her ‘unpredictable.’ Which is ironic. So Sutton is unpredticable Erika? Should we review some of your behavior in seasons past ? Screaming at Eileen, screaming and threatening Teddi, threatening Sutton? All for reasons that were pretty ridiculous.
Garcelle asks her why she can’t just lay off of Sutton, do something else, get a hobby, play with yourself! (I added that) Something. I don’t get why this convo went here. Erika doesn’t even have a problem with her anymore. Seems contrived, or to change the subject, and get the Sutton vs Erika thing going again.
Guess she needs a new schtick if she isn’t going to be getting wasted anymore.
Erika tells her she doesn’t have to cover for her all the time…” Cover for what? Your ugly leather pants?? Sorry couldn’t resist. It just flowed.
Looks like she’s still keeping the drinks coming in the preview. Good thing Rinna gave her the business! Looks like it worked. (not!)
