#RHOBH recap

Monday night seems to be the night for reality, trashy tv, but I have to say I look forward to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and am not ashamed to say so. I do have to say I found last night's episode a bit flat though although discovering Lisa and Ken decided to leave Puerto Rico in the middle of the night was a shocker. The other housewives and househusbands criticized them for walking away from being bullied and ganged up on, but I can't say that I blame them. Who would want to spend their entire vacation defending themselves to people who don't believe them anyway?
Does anyone else think this might be the end for Lisa on the show? After all, Camille, Taylor, and Adrienne walked away from the show after a similar situation happened to them. I wonder if the producers of #RHOBH understand that some of these women are probably all going through PMS at the same time as much time as they are required to spend together for taping.
Oh, how I feel for their poor husbands. I have to say though that I am happy to see that chivalry still exists. Yes, the housewives should speak for themselves, but there is nothing wrong with their husbands defending their actions and basically telling off the other housewives, "Do not speak to my wife that way."
Do these women not have anything else better to do with their time then fight over a stupid tabloid that Lisa may or may not have told Brandy to bring with her. What I find even more funny, is that while the women are attacking Lisa, why did Brandy have the magazine in the first place. If Kyle is going to be upset with anyone, maybe it should be Brandy for feeding into the tabloid craze and having it in her possession in the first place.
Yolanda and Kim are a bit too sappy for my taste saying goodbye to their daughter's as they head to college. It's not the end of the world. Is it possible these women are so emotional because they know longer have someone they can't vent to about the other women on the show? I think we spent at least half of the episode watching them say goodbye to their daughters.
Was anyone else excited to see Taylor make a cameo appearance? Carlton actually had some air time too, consoling Lisa after the good cry she had. Was that even a real cry? Haha.
I know I'm leaving out content from the show, but I just didn't feel it was necessary to write about. I can't wait to see what happens on the season finale though and the reunion show.

RHOB the saga continues against Lisa Vanderpump....

One thing I have to say I missed while I was in the hospital was the ability to watch The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Fortunately, BravoTV reairs episodes and I managed to catch up on the missed episode.
While Joyce was visiting with her family, Yolanda, Brandy, Kim, and Kyle reminded me of the Witches of Eastwick. I can certainly understand why Brandy would be upset with Lisa V. about inviting Scheena to her party and asking Brandy to speak to her, but really let it go already. So Scheena slept with your ex-husband. She's moved on with her life and is engaged to be married so why can't you let it go and move on? You'll be much happier for it. Like you, Lisa has taken Scheena under her wings and wants to help her see the way to her salvation. Of course you are still heartbroken over the betrayal, but if you hang onto the anger, you're letting your ex-husband win. There is something to be said for girl power and maybe, just maybe that's what Lisa is trying to show you. Instead of being hurt and upset, put your best foot forward.
The woman of the the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills are crying over their own spilled milk. Once you put yourself in the public limelight, you can't exactly blame the tabloids for starting rumors. You are in a market that is selling something. What that something is, I haven't figured out yet. Perhaps it's the envy and the lifestyle you all possess. However, it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things who is talking about who because you are all in it to be noticed and talked about. That's the price of fame I suppose.
I can appreciate Yolanda wanting to stick up for Brandy, however, Lisa tried to do the same thing. Although her style of approach may have been different, I really believe Lisa was trying to teach Brandy a little bit of class and respect for herself.
As for the newcomers Carlton and Joyce I have not yet formed an opinion. Although Carlton comes across as dark, you can't fault her for her passion.
I don't think there was anything wrong with Ken defending his wife. Any good husband would have done the same thing. I do believe Kim was out of line for the way she spoke to him though. It's kind of funny how these women are so quick to throw the other one under the bus, yet their feelers get hurt when someone else does it to them.
