Favorite Episodes of Real Housewives of ALL TIME

[quote]1) Amsterdamn/Shut Up You Beast episode is my favorite episode of any franchise of all time.

That was good but I don't see why it's your favorite.

Dinner Party from Hell outshines it by a million miles.

B Hills is the only one I watch - so I can't comment on the others.

[quote]1) Amsterdamn/Shut Up You Beast episode is my favorite episode of any franchise of all time.

Kim, I find it very hard to find anything to like about you right now.

I NEVER liked you. I hate your face, your hair...

All of the Bethenny vs. Kelly Killmoron Beensomeone episodes need to be in the top 10. In addition to scary island, there is the Place of Yes/Who Does She Think She Is? Madonna? episode and the I'm Up Here and You're Down Here/Monkey Bar episode.

Where is the tableflipping episode on RHONJ?

R1- I don't know, its everything about it. Let me count the ways:

The EVIL LOOK on Kim's face when Lisa started talking about her dead sister. You knew shit was going to go down.

Shut up you beast!!

"BEAST!? BEAST!?? HOW DARE YOU!" (I simply love Eileen, and I know I would have reacted the same way)

Kim's brilliantly comedic imitation of Kyle hiding underneath a blanket on the plane not coming to Kim's defense.

Kyle dramatically running out of the restaurant-

The glass.

And I liked the raw emotion of it- The women were all shellshocked after and those were genuine tears. Even Lisa was crying.

Kim's absolute anger and refusal to see ANY of her own behavior really rang true as I have known other alcoholics.

Dinner Party From Hell was awesome, but very much came from a place of Allison and Camille wanting to entertain the audience (US) and it was great! But very much for the cameras. Amsterdam was very organic to me.

Shereé, "Who gon' check me, boo?"

COULD SOMEONE get me a screenshot of Kim doing the imitation of Kyle? I would love you forever!!! PLEASE!!!

RHONJ was my fave of the franchise up until the last two seasons. The table flipping episode is alright. I loved how it showed the cracks in Dina and Jacqueline's relationship. Its pretty overrated if you rewatch it though. The Christening eats that episode alive!

I think my favorite thing on RHONJ was the Season 2 reunion where Teresa came for Danielle grunting like a wildebeest and pushed Andy back on the couch.

[quote]COULD SOMEONE get me a screenshot of Kim doing the imitation of Kyle? I would love you forever!!! PLEASE!!!

I don't even remember it and even if I did, where the hell would I get it for you from?

For some strange reason, OP - DLers don't like to talk about the shows away from the designated threads.

I've tried to get people to talk about B. Hills before and don't get much feedback, which is so weird when you consider how many people on DL watch the shows.

"I can’t even call her an alpha bitch, because I don’t respect her enough. She’s just a bitch.”

RHOA - The South Africa trip RHONY - Scary Island RHOBH - Alison Dubois(sp) episode at Camille's house

The episode of Atlanta where Apollo didnt have his shirt on.

You're such a fucking liar Camille!

The one on BH with Russell Armstrong dangling from a ceiling fan, an extension cord around his neck, where Taylor was crying but kept looking into the camera.

I've only ever watched Beverly Hills -- and stopped after it got very self-conscious.

But in the early seasons, the women were far less guarded. That when you got good TV, like Kyle lunging at her sister in the limo and screaming, "You're an alcoholic!"

The dinner party at Camille's is hard to beat. Camille didn't yet know how she was coming across on camera and was a total cunt.

I also liked when Brandi went in on Taylor at the reunion: "Your husband killed himself. And you waited one hot minute to cash in on it by writing a book."

I BOUGHT from Amazon, "the dinner party from hell" episode unedited. It's painful to watch.

[quote]I've only ever watched Beverly Hills -- and stopped after it got very self-conscious.

Me too.

But there were many glorious moments.

They were such nutcases...with SO MUCH money. But they didn't have FAME...until THIS.

The Taylor thing was very sad. You can still hear the recording of her finding her husband's body whilst on the phone to emergency services on YouTube. Wonder what her daughter makes of it.

Defies belief!

Camille was so funny when she came back with her changed personality.

Her house was amazing, wasn't it?

It burned down in a fire last year.

There were so many great characters.

Another time Brandi said what you're not supposed to say, but everyone was thinking:

KIM: "You slut pig!"

BRANDI: "Well, at least I don't keep going to the bathroom to do crystal meth."

I thought Yolanda was boring. She was a prostitute pretending to be in the perfect marriage.

And Camille got boring when she decided to play nice after the blowback when Season 1 aired. No more delicious hubris of bragging about the Hollywood "pecking order" just as her Hollywood husband was about to kick her to the curb.

The threads about this show on DL during its peak were mammoth.

I'd never seen the show and they alarmed me..until I had it on one day by mistake and was transfixed.

You can totally see why it had such a gay following.

I only started watching RHOBH in Season 8 and am streaming Season 1 now. Camille is a real piece of work. The cuntiest cunt ever. I would almost feel sorry for her going to Kelsey Grammer 's changing room after the La Cage Aux Folles premiere and he nervously treats her like a deranged stalker fan whilst his new woman is undoubtedly hiding in the bathroom ... almost feel sorry for her ... but she is so delusional, nasty, trashy and spoiled it simply cheered me up.

[quote]I thought Yolanda was boring. She was a prostitute pretending to be in the perfect marriage.

That's not quite fair. She'd been a top model. She came from rural Holland.

The marriage, all that "My love" stuff.

He abandoned her pronto when she got sick.

Any episode with Dorinda in it. And the episode of Atlanta when Sheree tugged on Kim's plastic shiney Wig on the street.

Then Kim ran off and made out with Lindsay Lohan's dad, on camera. And later completely denied it. Eventhough It was all caught on camera.

That bitch is crazy from the word go.

[quote]I only started watching RHOBH in Season 8 and am streaming Season 1 now.

You're in for a treat!

R22 I liked following on DL, too. And people had funny names for the women. Kyle "T.J. Maxx" Richards. The Dutch Hooker.

But I thought the show got boring as Lisa and Kyle became very conscious of coming across "nice" instead of interesting.

[quote] He abandoned her pronto when she got sick.

Uh, no. She "got sick" when she realized she was being abandoned. And she got better pronto once the divorce was final.

[quote]I thought Yolanda was boring

I thought so at first, but she turned out to be as wacky as the rest of them.

The season 2 Miami episode at that mess of a party where Adriana punches Hoanna, the Joe Francis drama and the drag queen pool fight. Season 1 was dreadful but season 2 was delicious perfection. It was like a telenovela. I’m still sad bravo canceled it.

I liked the first reunion for Atlanta.

When prostitute Kim Zolciak said she wore wigs because she "thought" she had cancer. WTF?

And Nene told her: "Close your legs to married men, you trash box hooker."

I never understood the Kyle hate. On here and everywhere. I thought she seemed a sweet person.

All of these show use to be fun to watch, now they've all descended into shit. But I still like Atlanta and NYC. Those are the best to me. I don't really watch the other ones.

Beverly Hills has been a huge disappointment for years now. But I still watch the shit.

BH was fun when there were women on it that REALLY hated each other.

Kyle does seem like her clothes comes from TJ Maxx. You'd think she'd have a stylist to help her with her wardrobe.

[quote]I never understood the Kyle hate.

SHE STOLE MY HOUSE!

R35 Especially since she opened a clothing store!

I loved the comments about Kyle's "bedazzled football jerseys"

I love Dorina on NYC. She's fun to watch and she seems to be one of the only ones on that show who is genuinely independently wealthy without needing a paycheck from reality TV.

Bethenny too.

[quote]All of these show use to be fun to watch,

I don't know how you can watch more than one. B.Hills was MORE than enough for me.

I forgot about those pics of Camille.

And she had the audacity to read Faye Resnick at dinner for doing Playboy.

That's "The Morally Corrupt Faye Resnick."

[quote]And she had the audacity to read Faye Resnick at dinner for doing Playboy.

I know. Hypocrite!

What were those nude camille pics from? A magazine?

R32- AGREED about Kyle- I like her now. I liked her at he beginning. She was uncharacteristically NASTY to Carlton though- Watch that season's reunion. The only time I have not liked Kyle.

And I believe Kyle where anything concerning Lisa is concerned.

LOVED Dorinda at first, and now DESPISE that nasty bitch. She oozes a nasty venom and is an EMBARRASSING drunk (when she drinks) I hate her vibe now. That last season of RHONY was dreary and recycled shit. And the women are truly reprehensible.

I'm not sure R43.

Oh my god- I am rewatching the Dinner Party From Hell episode.

What happened to Camille's boring friend Deidre?? (Is that her goddamned name?)

Who was that bitch!!??

I other episodes in later seasons when Camille "brings a friend" its never old Deidre!

By the way, I have watched some Youtube videos of Allison Dubois, she seems quite nice and quite genuine in her abilities..

[quote] Allison Dubois, she seems quite nice and quite genuine in her abilities..

UM...OK.

Do you consider yourself a good judge of character in REAL LIFE?

For real, R47- In her readings she does seem like a different woman (She has a Youtube Channel)

Allison = "Psychic" = Grifter

Best Allison moment: When she went on Australian TV and said Kyle's husband liked to get fucked by trannies!

I wish I could find that video that talked about all the behind the scenes information about Season 1 of RHOBH - Kelsey rang the producers and told them Camille would be on the show to keep her in LA so he could spend time with his side piece in NY, Andy Cohen being really surprised a A-List actor would want his wife and personal shit on a show like this, extended scenes of the dinner party from hell with Allison DuBois cunting it up with her ecig and ESPECIALLY the limo fight with Kyle and Kim which took place in the car because production kept getting kicked out of corridors, the lobby, sidewalks etc. And Lisa and Ken's friend Martin was on a date with Kim at the time - he was sexy.

Oh, I thought Mauricio FUCKED THE TRANTIES!!!

RHOBH, Brandi's first season. Brandi is on crutches; Kyle & Kim hide Brandi's crutches. Kyle & Kim stand up and literally point fingers at Brandi. I think they were jealous of Brandi during B's first season. K & K managed to make Brandi sympathetic in that episode.

When Camille is dancing like a whore at a Jay-Z concert and Adrienne gives her bemused looks. Then Paul Nassif grabs $5 and shoves it in Camille's top

The RHONJ christening episode was really good, one of the all-time best episodes. It's crazy to me that the Gorgas' parents so favored Teresa over Joe (Gorga). Did they dislike Melissa (alleged gold digger)? Family dramas are the best.

Caroline (NJ) was a bully and tried to create a gang with Dina and Jacqueline (C's family members). Both Dina and Jacqueline broke ranks at one time or another, though. I wonder what the real story behind the Caroline and Dina fall-out is. Dina seems kind of dumb, IMO. More family dramas that ring true.

Here's a young Chris Laurita (Jacqueline's husband) with Caroline Manzo.

[quote]Kyle & Kim stand up and literally point fingers at Brandi.

They were big pointers in general. Probably got it from their mother.

Brandi became quite a fave for a long while and a star of the show.

But she deserved to get fired. She crossed EVERYONE.

I'm glad you guys aren't re-running the Cedric story. That was such a fucking bore.

Actually, oh, dear...stepping in my own dog shit now...I always wondered why we never learned what Cedric had said to them when they threw him out of the house...you know, the big showdown behind closed doors.

Miss Ken : "I'll NEVER talk to him again!"

Then he said the same thing about Brandi a few years later.

R55- YES BITCH!!! I started this thread (surprised it was bumped) AWESOME EPISODE- It is EPIC and the way to regenerate a show!! (Probably top 3 episode of any reality show in all time, if you ask me)

Chris was HOT! (Always seemed cool)

And Dina seems VERY shady. The tea is brewing that her home invasion was BULLSHIT and a SET UP. And her new husband is straight up BAD NEWS.

Lees-er and KENT have enough SHIT out their about their business practices that tells moi everything I need to know. SCUM SCUM SCUM.

Play chess, cunt. I'll pass. I like friends. Not chess players, Lee-Lee.

"Sniffle Sniffle, we are saving puppies, Sniff, sniff"

I LOVE puppies, but I will pass on you, Hunty!!!

I thought Carlton was loathsome and Kyle's nastiness, which was a response to Carlton's, was completely deserved. My absolute favorite was when Carlton lost her shit over Kyle suggesting maybe she was anti-Semitic and saying how monstrous it was to accuse someone of that kind of prejudice. Meanwhile, Carlton had spent the entire season accusing Kyle of being bigoted against her for being a Wiccan, with such "evidence" as Kyle naively mistaking her pentagram tattoo for a star of David at first glance.

Carlton didn't have ANYTHING to bring to the table. Glad when they chucked her out.

Adriana from Miami was the best villain. I’m so mad miami isn’t available on Hulu anymore but it is on amazon prime. I’m about to watch season 2. This thread is making me want to revisit all the classics.

The RHOBH Kyle & Kim limo episode was also epic, agree with OP. Kyle blurted out that Mauricio (Kyle's husband) treated Kim like a "second wife," IIRC. That was mind-blowing (yes, mind easily blown). That "second wife" comment, along with other clues, makes me believe that Kim was indeed on an allowance (from Mauricio).

That's also why I don't believe Kyle & Mauricio stole "Kim's house." That Palm Springs house was an asset passed down to the sisters. I believe that Kim was hard-up for money and cashed out (Mauricio & Kyle bought her out). Tough shit.

I think Kim is resentful because, for a long time during her childhood, she was a cash cow. Everybody lived off of her. Not any more.

Isn't Mauricio being sued for some shady insider-trader-type dealings?

Kyle may soon have to hit Kim up for change.

R62, is giving me shivers down below!!!!

R61, YAASSSSS CUNT!!!!! Agreed!!! Miami Season 2 was INSANE!!!!!!

Adriana KNEW (and said as much) that this FRANCHISE needed to SURVIVE, HUNTIES!!!!

Adriana KNEW that some slaps needed to be made and it needed to be HIGHLY PHYSICAL!!!!

YASSS! Miami!!! (Shocked that they didn't get a 3rd season - and listen I love DALLAS- so I love the underdog franchises!!!)

R59- I LOVED and STILL love Kyle (Totally team Kyle- I TRULY like her)

Did you watch the same season??

I understood why Carlton thought Kyle was fake (but I thought in time, she would come around and realize that Kyle WAS just so nice- and NOT fake)

Truly, Carlton was NOT anti Semitic, and I was shocked that Kyle (who I still love) pulled that shit! Did you watch Carlton's confessional after Kyle accused her of that??

Sorry. I liked Carlton, until the end.

Kyle went to far.

And I still love Kyle.

And yeah, I thought Carlton could have been a great addition.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

[quote]I believe that Kim was hard-up for money and cashed out (Mauricio & Kyle bought her out). Tough shit.

Yes, that is exactly what happened.

[quote]Truly, Carlton was NOT anti Semitic, and I was shocked that Kyle (who I still love) pulled that shit! Did you watch Carlton's confessional after Kyle accused her of that??

Accused her of that? Kyle made a one slightly off the cuff remark, half joking and Carlton ran and ran and ran with it, cos she had nothing else to add to the storyline. It was pathetic.

R67- Come on!!!! GO rewatch that episode. Kyle was WAY out of line- that was AWFUL (Carlton was not anti Semitic) (truly, this is the ONLY time, in ten years (other than the reunion- when Kyle was EVEN WORSE) that I was like, KYLE- WHAT THE FUCK!""

R67, It was NOT, an OFF THE CUFF remark, it was a pointed accusation.

(Truly, I love Kyle) but that shit was BAD!!!!!!!!

Taylor's famous breakdown with Camille. "If you can't be my friend, please don't be my enemy"

Taylor Is IN THE SUITCASE!!!

[quote]Taylor's famous breakdown with Camille. "If you can't be my friend, please don't be my enemy"

Was that at some party at a beach front place where she ended up standing up in some sort of barrel screaming at everyone?

Remember Camille went into attack mode at Kyle and called to inform her that she and Kelsey would no longer be requiring Mauricio's services as a real estate broker.

Then there was some 20s party Kyle was already there and when Camille turned up they (the show) played spooky threatening music when their eyes locked.

It was a suitcase? I thought it was a barrel.

Taylor was IN THE SUITCASE, R72!

Amsterdam was magnificent.

"Don't mention the husband!"

LOL.

"I DID NOT HAVE SEX WITH MULTIPLE PARTNERS!"

I love RHOBH but my new favorite epusude has to be from RHOP, in which Candy Ass threatens Ashley with a butter knife and Ashley keeps going on about how Candy Ass's house is not her house but is owned by Candy Ass's mother. Ashley gets kicked out and while Candy Ass continues to talk about how disrespected she feels ("She came into my home. I gave her a BEVERAGE!") Ashley comes back in to the house she's been kicked out of to continue the fight.

YOU BROUGHT A FAMILY VAN!!!!

I just saw The Dinner Part From Hell. LOLOLOLOL Camille is the stupidest, ugliest cunt to have walked the Earth. Did she have a nervous breakdown after the season ended and she realised what an asshole she is? And that everything that the “psychic” said about Kyle being in an unhappy marriage, having no female friends and having achieved nothing in her life is actually a lot her?

And when she said everyone was jealous of her and that women are catty! No one is jealous of her married to Kelsey, we like him best on TV as Frasier not in our actual lives.

I got a kick out of Sheree in the RHOA “I am very rich, bitch!” episode. She goes deep. (...if you’re so rich you need to get those m-f-ing teeth fixed!!! How bout that?!!!” & “ See I knew you when you had them rotten teeth, honey....”

The inset confessional videos were rough, too. “NeNe’s teeth? Rotten for real...” (draws imaginary circle around her mouth). “I’m a little too classy to fight in a restaurant....but she can meet me out back in the alley all day long...” “bitch ain’t crazy.”

It was fascinating to see Sheree actively trying to shame and humiliate Nene on camera, literally chasing her out of the wine bar (“Is this bitch out of her m-f-ing MIND?! “ and calling out “Your first car was RePo’d!!!!! Ohhhhh she can’t hear dat!”

I don’t understand why people watch these “shows”. It’s sooo depressing to see the human condition brought so low. Trump’s ridiculous show was equivalent and you see what it did for him. It’s disturbing that people think these shows have any value, merit or are entertaining. I’m clueless.

I like the one in which one of the ladies, noting the tension of recent weeks, generously offers to take all the others on a luxury vacation to relax. And then SHOCKINGLY alcohol-fueled fights ensue and no one gets to relax. It turns out that one of them LIED to the others! Gasp! That was a good one.

RHONY is my favorite by far, especially season 10 which had everything - the Countess getting arrested, Dorinda's joker lips, and the fight at the table in Cartagena which I think is the single best shot in Housewives history where Bethenny and Carole are bickering at one end, Lu and Dorinda fighting at the other and Sonja, Tinsley, and Ramona are having the time of their lives in the middle, oblivious to either fight.

Season 10 of RHONY was exhausting. I didn't even understand why B and Carole were fighting. Seemed like a lovers' quarrel which the other girls had no issue alluding to as well.

R82: Lu came across so miserable to me here. Classic Lu- getting in a dig with a smile as if others aren't wise to her bullshit. I always enjoy when any of these women curse her out.,

[quote]I don’t understand why people watch these “shows”.

You either get it or you don't, Charlie...like so many things.

[quote]I’m clueless.

Yes.

Overall I like when the women are zany without being cruel. There is so much cruelty and self-destruction in these series that I finally stopped watching.

I like Lisa Rinna, Phaedra, Kim Richards, and Erika when they are just being either eccentric or funny at no one’s expense. I sometimes find Ramona, Bethenny and LuAnn entertaining but they go way too far in the vicious and cruel direction for me to want to watch them. I liked Dorinda until “drunk Dorinda” became her schtick, and then I lost interest. I am sure I am the only one, but I actually kind of like Kyle Richards because she seems...fine.

Some like Tinsley and Dorit seem to have no authentic personality and make me resent that they are paid well to supposedly entertain when they are basically just mannequins.

For those of you who are ready to take the fandom to the next level, Dorinda now has an onlyfans page. CLIP!

"You're ALL white trash, quite frankly."

HELLO! Did you bitches already forget about my leg toss? Word on the street is that stunt doubled the ratings. Bravo was crazy to not ask me back.

Three words:

Satchels

Of

Gold

Did somebody say Satchel?

"I empathize with those elephants because I, too, was exploited."

I think the sushi restaurant where Kelly Dodd called Fancy Pants Heather Dubrow a cunt and she got up and told her to leave - Kelly says "I'm not leaving who the fuck do you think you are?"

Luann (or Ramona) leaving her naked trick in Bethenny's bed and telling a hysterical Heather to “be cool!”

Luann falling twice into bushes in Mexico

Luann fucking a Johnny Depp lookalike, then trying to sneak past the producers by communicating with him and the producers in French

Luann telling Alex she stormed into her “salon” in Morocco in her “Herman Munster shoes”

Luann ignoring a crying Jules (who had just been told her father was very sick) by rambling on and on about Bethenny calling her a slut

r86 I like Kyle too. She seems basically as happy with her life and Mauricio as she could be, and in the early seasons it is easy to see how looking out for Kim is taking a toll on both of them - they both get frustrated and mean and its very common among siblings in this situation.

Revolting

Isn't Portia growing up!

Do they sell children's dentures at T. J. Maxx?

I hope so! If I were Kyle, I would rub some anbesol on those babies and yank out each tooth by its roots with a plier from the Gardner's Shed and get her fitted for dentures-

r86 Kyle is a vile human being. She tried to trap someone she thought was a billionaire by getting pregnant. She found out his family was not rich and ditched him. Got engaged to Michael Tuck, a local CBS News Anchor in LA who was much older than him until Kathy, her sister, told her she should marry Mauricio, a hot agent in Rick Hilton's agency because he needed a green card. She dumped Tuck overnight and married Mauricio with the thought of Hilton money.

Kim married even better.

But managed to lose it all.

Ok, so, I’m just going to read you something.

“True Munchausen Syndrome fits within the subclass of fictitious disorder and predominantly physical signs and symptoms, but they also have a history of recurrent hospitalization, traveling and dramatic extremely improbable tales of their past experiences. Munchausen Syndrome has been renamed factitious disorder wherein those affected feign disease illness or psychological trauma to draw attention sympathy or reassurance to themselves.”

Well, Munchausen is - and I want to cry to even say this out loud - but it's something that people could create if they might not be sick but they make themselves sick.

I do not have this moochy munchy mucky house on street disease.

[quote]I do not have this moochy munchy mucky house on street disease.

I am, however, the prostitute, my love.

OMG, have you LOOKED at Mohamed Hadid???

I loved Yolanda's airtight argument that if she can't pronounce Munchausen, then she couldn't possibly have it.

We LIKE crazy bitches.

So you're saying she doesn't really have Lyme disease? What about her 2 children that supposedly have it as well? Just curious.

Yolanda didn't have a disease; she had a plot point.

Her children didn't have a disease; they had a drug problem.

Yolanda may have had psychosomatic symptoms after her children left the home and it was clear that David Foster didn’t care about her and was ignoring her. Also, it got her pity; maybe that’s what she wanted from David but it backfired because he dumped her for someone younger, if I recall. So my guess is Yolanda did it for pity and attention or perhaps she really felt fatigued and listless because her kids grew up and left and all she had left was a terrible husband who didn’t care about her.

So the revelation that TWO of her 3 kids also somehow contracted this very rare, non-contagious disease was what, to make her illness seem real?

R110 It’s not “very rare” at all. It is pretty damned common. The CDC estimates that “around 300,000” people in the United States contract Lyme disease every year. With around 300 million people in the country, that puts you at a one in one hundred average risk of contracting Lyme disease every year.

Despite the prevalence, only about 30,000 cases are diagnosed by doctors and reported to the CDC every year despite Lyme being a mandatory reportable disease (meaning doctors are required by regulation to report all diagnosed cases). This is in part because it often goes undiagnosed for years. And that is in part because diagnostic tests only identify about 50 percent of infections.

Lyme is the same type of infectious bacterium that syphilis is, except that it has more chromosomes and is more difficult to treat. Like syphilis, untreated Lyme disease goes dormant after the initial infection period and shows up later as a disease that can profoundly affect joints, the heart and the nervous system, including the brain. It can literally make people crazy just like syphilis can. Yet people understand that syphilis does all these things and reject that Lyme does. It makes no sense.

Some people who are treated for Lyme don’t recover and become progressively ill in a way that mimics multiple sclerosis. The CDC refers to this phenomenon as “post-treatment Lyme disease,” which it used to estimate affects up to 20 percent of all people who are infected with Lyme. 20 percent of 300,000 people per year is 60,000 people per year.

“Post-treatment Lyme disease” does not mean “after Lyme,” it means “after someone with Lyme has been treated with a short term of antibiotics.” It is a real clinical diagnosis and it does not mean that people are crazy. Speculation at this time is that Lyme infection may throw off some people’s immune system and trigger an autoimmune disease—but what causes some people to continue to be ill after 30 days of antibiotics is arguable and is being researched by scientists. There is also an illness called “post-polio” in which people who have been treated for polio continue to have symptoms for the rest of their lives. It does not mean “it’s all in your head,” and this shaming of sick people needs to stop. Fuck.

The clock was running out for my marriage to my love . . . tick . . . tick . . . tick . . .

David's married yet again.

Nothing stopping that guy.

So they sold the house in Malibu. Wonder if the new owners kept the lemon grove.

Oh my Christ. Yolanda and her moochy mooky munchy mouth disease ruined RHOBH AND this thread!

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills: There is a “beauty party” at Dr Nassif’s office:

Kyle: Hello my little buttercup.

Paul: Hello my little muffin top.

SAVAGE.

Also that time Adrienne and Paul have to ask Mauricio’s sex therapist mother for marital advice at Farrah’s graduation party. Then after the first few minutes they get really uncomfortable so Paul suggests he give her a facelift. (Which he summarily did the next season.) I laughed so hard.

“Kyle: Hello my little buttercup.

Paul: Hello my little muffin top.

SAVAGE.”

She weighs 43 pounds. Hardly savage.

Paul was like one of the ladies. He loved to gossip and he called out Kim Richards for being "intoxicated!" In earlier seasons, the cast was always tiptoeing around Kim's lateness, unexplained behavior ("what could it be???").

Kim revealed herself to be an emotionally stunted and NASTY,alcoholic-

I have reviewed the episodes on Hulu, and WOW- she is supremely unlikable and nasty, yet has that certain vulnerability that makes you root for her.

She is a MESS.

My favorite of the franchise by far- I always look forward to the new season.

And I truly feel Kyle is one of the most normal and kindest housewives out there. Just a great lady- great laugh, probably the only trustworthy gal in the franchise.

I have felt that way since day one, and its never wavered +Other than when she was a complete CUNT to Carlton+++

You know Kim was a famous child actress?

of course R120- Escape from Bitch Mountain and I heard she got decent reviews for Black Snake Moan-

But she is truly quite nasty and mean. And yet VERY "simple" (like lower IQ simple)

Interesting woman, but supremely fucked up (and she probably is a victim in many ways- from her opportunistic bitch mother, etc)

I think there is ALOT more under Kim's personality than meets the eye.

But ultimately, she is a mean alcoholic. And not particularly self reflective or intelligent.

OP, gurl, you're a dreadful judge of character...proven by your bizarre post about Allison Dubois

Most people think of Kim as a sweet gurl who's lost her way and is overpowered by her now richer, settled, more successful sister. Who was jealous of Kim's childhood fame.

Here's what OP said about Dubois >

[quote]By the way, I have watched some Youtube videos of Allison Dubois, she seems quite nice and quite genuine in her abilities.

Say no more.

R122- Check her out on Youtube, for real...

I try my hardest to look past the "veil". (And I may be the only person who LOVED Carlton Gebbia, EVER!)

I think she drank WAY too much on that episode.

(At least check her out on YouTube, she does seem like the real deal.)

[quote]Paul was like one of the ladies.

Thirsty husbands are a Real Housewives tradition.

These shows are all pathetic and stupid, and you're just dumb if you watch them.

R125= Camille.

[quote]These shows are all pathetic and stupid, and you're just dumb if you watch them.

So you must have watched them or how would you know?

I loved the White Party toss out episodes. First Kim acting like the coked up mess she was threatening to break a woman twice her size in half, acting all of 15, carrying over to the Hawaiian vacation where Kim and her Ken missed everything. Also, a party episode when Kim was locked in the bathroom rehearsing for her arrest after being a mess in the hotel/limo (the family baby voice and all) with, then hiding from Ken.

Also the episode when EVERYONE was up in arms over Russell getting litigious and the DRAMA resulting in their subsequent kick out of him and Shana.

The Game night at 10,000 sunglasses Pam/Dana and Bitchards sisters being on full tilt. They simultaneously attacked like trained dogs.

I loved this show at one point.

Who was Kim's only boyfriend during the run of the show? He looked like a killer.

He was so possessive, when they were out somewhere, he'd follow her into the toilet.

I think he was trying to keep her from overdosing.

I don’t think Kim is a nice lady with an addiction problem that make her mean. She was a lady capable of great meanness whose addiction problem made her meaner.

Like being a cunt to Brandy (I don’t want to be on her team!) and hiding her crutches? Acting shocked when someone swore or calling them a slut for wearing shorts? Kim can fuck off. She was oh so clearly Paris Hilton’s aunt.

[quote] First Kim acting like the coked up mess she was threatening to break a woman twice her size in half, acting all of 15, carrying over to the Hawaiian vacation where Kim and her Ken missed everything.

Ken threatening Paul for talking about him, Paul not giving a shit, after being told to kiss a second time at dinner Adrienne and Paul using heaps of tongue and Brandi suggesting their freaks who probably fuck around with guys, Brandi and Paul telling Ken at Sur that she called him a gay bull mastiff...

Brandi was way too cunty and ungrateful. RHOBH saved her ass.

By the end she was hissing at everyone, so they showed her to the door.

“I want to sleep with your husband”, B Glanville. We knew she was joking because, of course, we have all seen the charmless, ancient Ken.

I also hate women like Lisa Vanderpump who pretend they hate sex and their husband has to bribe them into sex. They are simply afraid of looking like sluts.

I don't think she's pretending at all. I think she's a closet dyke.

R136 It wouldn’t surprise me if half of the women on the RH shows are closeted gay or bi. Carole Radziwill is rumored to have been in a same sex relationship while filming RHONY and left to have more privacy, according to rumors (if those rumors are true, her constant tension/fighting with Bethanny the last season makes a lot more sense). And the new rumor about Denise Richards and Brandi having hooked up in the past (although Bravo likes to keep gossip going to boost publicity before the season airs).

Yet we have yet to have an out lesbian as a main cast member in any of the RH shows, just Tamra and Braunwyn making out for attention and a bunch of women who act ashamed and embarrassed if they admit to having kissed women or hooked up with them in the past (Melissa Gorga). These women get wasted and party and do all kinds of things, but when it comes to same sex action, it’s like the 1950s.

[quote]Who was Kim's only boyfriend during the run of the show?

Her dealer.

Trashy Tammy' s (aka "Tit's" according to Shane) kids wrecking the "yacht" on RHOC, her ex Lou (of the mail order wife) creating a energy drink and all the daughters getting sexually harassed by Lou; Tammy's stupid daughter Lindsay breaking into her mom's house thru the dog door and throwing a party; Lauri getting engaged to George and all of Vicki's jealousy; Lauri's cat crap condo & subsequent comeup via chinless George; Dumbass Slade and his Batman costume collection, idiotic Jo Delarosa, Jeana being fat and depressed and getting wine thrown at her by Tamra, the Naked Wasted episode; the leather skinned hag that made the ugly cuff bracelets, a foreclosure notice nailed to her door and then had a daughter that went into porn...RHOC was fantastic the first 5 seasons and now Vicky AND Tamara have quit. I bet they bring back Gretchen & Alexis. Sigh.

RHONJ had a lesbian married couple who were conditionally cast as Housewives/Friends during Siggy and Dolores's first season, but they got dropped after one of them threatened to beat Jacqueline's ass.

They need younger housewives in BH. Even Teddi reads about 45.

Poor Kim

The classics:

1. Dinner party from Hell. And I love that about myself...

2. Scary Island. Al Sharpton!!!!!

3. Morocco. Countess on a camel. Kelly mesmerized by the snake charmer. Lu lecturing Alex about the Herman Munster shoes while Jill is upstairs about to give Ramona a heart attack on the bed.

4. Birthday party on Governor's Island. Kelly and Cindy laughing themselves silly as the insane winds blow a glass of wine onto one of Alex's brats.

5. Who gunna check me, Boo? That queen was having fits!

6. Rosie rages at the Reunion. The ladies are talking while lesbo Ro is screaming backstage and dumb Theresa says, "What was dat?"

7. You is a ho! The megaphone that scored a beatdown!

8. 10lbs of sausage in a 5lb bag. What a loving mom that Caroline truly is.

9. Vanderpump visits the DMV and is forced to interact with the hoi polloi.

10. Get your goddamn feet off the sofa!

11. That uppity DC Republican bitch trying to act all down and cool cause she was fuckin a black dude from African. Apom or Abong or whatever his name was.

12. That skank eating the bow off Heather Dubrow's cake.

13. The Maloof Hoof vs. The VanderPUMP!

"Why are you sending a [bold]FAMILY VAAAAAAAN[/bold]?"

"Cousin Itt made an appearance at the barbecue! Oh, Kurn."

"I can't even call her an alpha bitch because I don't respect her enough. She's just a bitch."

"She should never have mentioned your injured son and your hoe daughter."

"YOU HAVE NO FRIENDS! LOOK AT YOU! YOU'RE GONNA BE A FUCKIN' OLD LADY WITH YOUR FAKE AND SQUARE FUCKIN' TITS!"

"Can I order two large cheese pizzas? The name is Mrs. de Lesseps ... COUNTESS."

“You don’t know if your baby daddy will be an axe murderer or a child molester. What you [italic]do[/italic] know is that he needed $10 to get him a medium-size pizza, so he ejaculated in a cup so you could have a kid. Now check THAT!”

"It's a fat little shoe"

"Tha AIDS?"

Since this is honing in on favorite moments, Sheree after the altercation with her party planner wondering 'what ever happened to customer service? ' right after the "who 'gon check me boo".

Also Nene and Sheree with Kim, Sheree trying to grab the wig "just to shift it a little " then out of nowhere Kim and Michael Lohan are making out with Nene running them off with "whatchu doin here Lindsey Lohan Daddy? "

"Mama don't really wanna see that."

RHOA: Phaedra and Apollo enjoy a weekend getaway at a country inn, where they nibble on dainty snacks like lady fingers filled with "barbarian cream"

Bigot

Travesty

Larva

Luann drunkenly falling in the bushes is actual comedy. I genuinely have never laughed that hard at a RH moment, ever.

RHOA - The pajama party episode where Apollo loses his mind attacking Brandon and Kandi goes off saying she will drag a bitch!

Also the road trip to Miami on a RV with Sweetie, Derek J and Don Juan watching Nene about to snatch Kim's wig clean off

It'd have been hilarious if Kandi had stopped the bus and 86ed her crazy black ass and you'd still see her screaming as the bus took back off down the road.

Bethenny: "I would blow Simon Van Kempen for a Slurpee right now"

The reunions with Eileen and Kim and sometimes Brandi

Oh and when they found out that Yolanda wasn't sick because of lyme disease, but because she fell on her breast implants and they popped inside her like silicone balloons.

If you want a LAUGH, watch the Yolanda Has Limes Season- Watch the episodes when FroYo doesn't wear makeup- It is so BLATANT and hilarious. I never realized how funny it was until re-watching the series.
