Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

I was surprised to see there wasn't already a thread about this particular RH franchise. I have to say, this may be my favorite one EVER. I was beginning to think this show had jumped the shark...it was really getting kind of tiresome, but these ladies have brought back the CRAZY!

Particularly that Camille Grammer. Has there ever been a more loathsome reality star? I don't blame Kelsey at all for knocking up a flight attendant and dumping this crazy bitch.

And so happy that Richard Lawson is back on Gawker doing the recaps!

As much as I hate to admit- I actually checked out the installment of the RHW. I was a big Nanny and the Professor fan back in the day and I had followed Kim Richards. I had always wondered what happened to her (I never knew Kathy Hilton is her sister). Anyway, totally agree with your Camille comments. She just loves to brag about all her stuff that she would not have if it wasn't for Kelsey (who I just love). Camille is a gold-digging tool! She used to be a dancer on the MTV Spring Break show! I love Lisa! She is so grounded and I love her dog- sooo cute! Taylor is pathetic and so plastic! Saying she thought it was time for her 4yo daughter to get a diamond and then spending over 60,000 for her birthday party only to be overshadowed by a puppy her dad gave her- loved how upset it made her! Kyle seems to be the star of the show!

I LOVE this show! It's the perfect replacement for my Thursday night Jersey Shore fix. Not only are they all crazy (except for maybe Lisa) they have SO much money! They make the Housewives of NY/NJ look homeless. I loved when Taylor's $60,000 birthday party (for her toddler) got upstaged by a puppy.

I see these people in action frequently. It is, in a word, revolting.

I agree. I think Camille has to be one of the most revolting women to ever be on reality tv. And that's saying something.

And I loved that she bought her a BARBIE diamond (and of course got one for herself). Taylor has some frightening plastic surgery.

I like Lisa and Kyle....that Kim is such a scary mess. I feel bad for her. I hope we get to see Kelsey dump Camille. How about when her mom was trying to talk about the fact that she had cancer but Camille immediately cut her off bc its always all about her...and did she actually compare herself to Jesus at one point? This show just cracks me up.

I might actually handle them better if I watched them on TV. Seeing them in real life, and the way they really do treat other human beings, can make me damn near homicidal.

Isn't there a show on the Food Network about their private chefs, or something? I've only seen a preview for it, but I wanted to throw things at their heads.

I haven't seen this because I didn't know it was on. But, didn't one of these women appear on Little House on the Prairie as a child? That I remember hearing.

Kyle was on Little House (I loved that show too)

This installment is a true horror show. I really don't like any of them. To say I like one is like picking the lesser of the 5 evils. Even Lisa is a haughty b@#ch. I mean, she judges everyone on parenting and cooking and everything else.

Camille is a nightmare, but c'mon she has earned her stripes. She has been nursing a traumatized, in and out of recovery ego-driven neurotic star for years. She is clearly starved for attention as she has not been getting any. Their kids are super cute.

Kyle is a know it all and tries to act superior to everyone. Yes she has the most "picture perfect" life, but she is a viper-dont be fooled.

Kim is a dried up drunk. One word for Kim-MOISTURIZE!

Taylor is a twit. Married for money, not love and has destroyed her face. All the women on this show look like transexuals, but she is one closest to a tranny.

Adrienne is probably the one I have the least aversion to. She works her butt off and seems quite dedicated to family even though her face is tranny-tastic.

LOL Bettyboy! I think Adrienne kind of looks like Zsa Zsa Gabor if she lifted a lot of weights.

[Bettyboy72]

Adrienne's "guns" really add to the tranny effect. I love how in the first episode she was flipping her kids like they were attackers.

Kim is so sad. A neurotic mess with a whiskey man voice and dried up face. I hear in a future episode they do an intervention with her for her drinking.

I watched the one where they went to NYC b/c I was hoping they would show some footage of LaCage, and ended up being drawn in by the huge cat fight at teh table.

Oh, I'm totally sucked in to this show. Camille is a FREAK! Complaining that their 3500 sq. foot apartment isn't big enough. And 4 nannies for 2 kids? Really?

Kim is really sad and pathetic. I don't really have an opinion about Adrienne one way or the other. Taylor doesn't seem like a bad person really, she's just ridiculously OTT. And her plastic surgery is hideous.

Kyle and Lisa are ok. I do love Lisa's little dog Jiggy. Did you see the Andy Cohen show the other night where they were Skyping with Lisa and she had Jiggy dressed up in the cowboy outfit? Andy kept asking if the dog was sedated. I was LMAO.

Bettyboy, I love your summary lol.

Did anyone see the episode with the kids' birthday parties?

I have such issues with people who have multiple nannies for their kids when they don't work.

[StockardFan]

Posted: 11/14/10 at 1:54pm

But, MissChung, she's SOOOOOOOO busy overseeing all of their many properties!

[danmag]

Posted: 11/14/10 at 2:33pm

I bet Camille's nannies want to slit her throat while she's sleeping.

[StockardFan]

Posted: 11/14/10 at 2:37pm

Is it just me or is she almost as buggy eyed as Ramona?

[danmag]

Posted: 11/14/10 at 2:44pm

Even more so!

[misschung]

Posted: 11/14/10 at 3:22pm

It's funny bc at first I thought this installment was going to be too similar to OC to really work, but these women are a whole different breed of crazy. They are actually making the OC housewives look like the Ingalls.

I've only watched bits and pieces of this, but last Thursday Camille set me off when she wouldn't let Kyle's comment go. I just do not understand why people live for drama to this extent - it's almost perverse.

And is Lisa's last name really VanderPump? That's just cruel.

[StockardFan]

Posted: 11/14/10 at 3:37pm

It's Vander-somthing! I don't know exactly.

Did you notice when Lisa was checking in at the ticket counter of Virgin Airlines, and the ticket agent said, "Have you flown with us before?"

Lisa just had to say, "Oh no, hundreds of times. We're good friends with Richard." As in Richard Branson, owner of Virgin Airlines.

*rolling eyes* And yet, I am looking forward to this week's episode. *hanging head in shame*

[StockardFan]

Posted: 11/14/10 at 5:21pm

Oh I can't wait to see how this catfight turns out. Does anyone else think Lisa's husband actually looks a little like Richard Branson?

I saw some of the first episode and couldn't help but smile at the Grammer kids reaction to Kelsey walking into the room. They were so excited and happy to see him. Just running and jumping all over him. That was the only moment in what I saw that I liked.

When I saw La Cage (the day before it opened), I was at the stage door, and Chamille (I didn't know who she was) and her kids walked out with the camera crew. I had no idea what it was for....If only I had known...
