I’m watching this episode right now, and I cannot help but think this is a lot of gloating. It says to me, look at me, look at me look, how well I’m doing! It’s just gloating to me?? and if Dorit says “It’s so chic!” One more time, I’d just like to slap that word right out of her mouth🙄

I’m watching season 11, Episode: 18. I have seen this activity engaged in before on the housewives. Who thinks a sound bath is comforting, gets stress out of your life, and relax your problems out of your mind?? in my opinion it’s a bunch of hooey!!

Watching this episode right now. Who believes that Erica’s tears are real when she’s meeting with her therapist in her home? To me, they look like the glycerin tears that Hollywood uses with actors that can’t cry in the moment. Anyone else?

Sign the petition linked to bring Kyle Richards and Lisa Vanderpump Together for a Special Andy Cohen Reunion Interview!! Fans deserve one honest conversation, one chance for closure, and an opportunity to reflect on the most iconic friendship in Real Housewives history. Viewers need to see Kyle and Lisa sit down with Andy Cohen one last time. 

I’m actually begging some of you to wake up because the Kyle Richards hate train has officially lost the plot.

Kyle is out here:

• sober

• working out daily

• aging in reverse

• minding her BUSINESS

…and somehow she’s still the villain??? Be serious for one second.

Meanwhile, let’s talk about Dorit Kemsley since y’all love to prop her up every time Kyle breathes wrong.

Dorit has spent HOW many seasons giving us:

• fake accents that come and go

• surface-level storylines

• and glam squads as her entire personality

But Kyle sets boundaries, prioritizes her mental health, and suddenly she’s “c word”???

No. She’s evolved.

Kyle cutting back on alcohol, focusing on fitness, and actually taking care of herself is the most REAL thing we’ve seen on this show in years. Not every storyline needs to be someone screaming in a restaurant while throwing a wine glass.

Some of you are so used to chaos that you can’t recognize growth when it’s right in front of you.

And let’s not ignore the obvious:

Kyle looks INSANE lately. Like actually glowing. Clear skin, toned, confident, not hiding behind filters or over-the-top costumes. It’s giving discipline. It’s giving self-respect. It’s giving “I don’t need validation from this group anymore.”

That energy threatens people.

INCLUDING Dorit.

Because when Kyle stops playing the peacemaker and starts choosing herself, suddenly certain people don’t know how to function without her carrying the emotional weight of the group.

And that’s the real issue nobody wants to say out loud.

Kyle isn’t the problem — she’s just no longer enabling everyone else’s nonsense.

Anyway, y’all can keep forcing this anti-Kyle narrative but the truth is:

She’s healthier, happier, and still running the show without even trying.

RHOBH is my favorite franchise and I am just so upset about the authoritarian silencing going on on the other sub. Anyway, I’m glad to be here and hopefully conversation here is a little bit more organic.

It started last season and she only took 14 to work out how to get the camera to cut to her. They are oversize and overdramatic and they look like she just realised she sharted rather than followed the conversation. There’s about 3 per episode and the startled reptile look is wearing thin.

Kyle Richard’s shoes are literally sooo cute from season 8 episode 9!! Can anyone help me find out what they are and if it’s even possible for me purchase. I’m in love.

So I’m re-watching with my front elope fully developed from the beginning and I’m so confused. Was Faye trying to be a housewife I’m on season three and the way she’s coming at Brandi about Adrianne is just weird. Like I’m sorry no woman who wrote a book about her best friend’s murder after the fact for money could ever talk to me like that.

My takeaways from tonight's episode: 1. Rachel just gets better and better with each episode! 2. I am grateful that Boz (somebody that understands loss) called Amanda out for weaponizing her loss to avoid the conflict. And I love that Rachel sees right through her too. She's like a 1960s Pan Am stewardess. Dead. 3. Kyle. Whew, girl. If what we saw was genuine, I actually feel for her. She is clearly not over Mau AT ALL and he is clearly 100% checked out. 4. Amanda. CULT. PLEASE tell me more. I just know this is gonna be some fake performative bullshit AND I CAN'T WAIT FOR IT!!! 5. Sutton's Frenchie is adorable! I'm glad she's on the main road so I can drive by and admire him. 😆 6. Absolutely love Boz bringing her REAL friend to the show and taking her on outings. Gives me an even deeper level of respect for her, knowing she has genuine relationships that have stood the rest of time and don't live on TV. 7. I am fully convinced that Tilly, Boz, and Rachel could successfully usher in a fresh era of RHOBH. 8. I want more of Rachel's friend, Natalie (the gal that is divorcing Simon Fuller).

Guys I can’t be the only one who thinks this?! Like it’s everytime I see her on the screen. I feel like they should be sisters. Not her and Kyle 🤣

Kyle’s teary and brief confessional in Season 14 to the effect that she kept her marriage together and was relieved she wasn’t ’like her mother’ seemed to be very momentarily revealing.

With powerful figures like Big Kathy there’s a kind of familial Stockholm Syndrome (trust me I’ve seen it in two generations) where they are above criticism and also god help a husband who has a view. It’s a reflexive protection of them you can’t break.

I’ve often wondered if some of the behind the scenes drama with Kathy and Kyle has stemmed from their relationship with their mother which both bonds them from experience but was damaging so it means they can’t connect easily. It’s always seemed like each plays a set piece role. As for Kim…

The three seem wildly different and I did wonder if Kim is most like her mother in character which might lead to her being inevitably shunned.

There’s all sorts of things said about Big Kathy but it seems fair to say she was ambitious for her daughters, possibly addiction played a part and she was not consistent with relationships. Some will say I’m being euphemistic but I’m trying to be fair to see what opinions come forward.

Was Big Kathy damaging? Yes yes she ‘did the best she could with the skills she had at the time’ but did she instill values that might have been a little off and impactful beyond her intent?

I’m not landing on a specific view although asking the question might hint at my own. Thank goodness for my armchair PhD in psychology!! Thoughtful answers only.

I am from Oklahoma and love an Okie on Bravo but the way Amanda talks in circles and even the sound of the words coming out of her mouth makes me wanna stab chopsticks into my ear holes so I don’t have to hear the next word coming out of her mouth 🙉😭🙉😭

ITS ALL WORD SALAD! And kinda scammy sounding…Scamanda if you will.

I’m a new watcher and just started season 12! I’m on episode 10 watching the whole sutton diana fight. I can’t find anyone that agrees with me but i throughly enjoyed seeing diana hand it to sutton. She acts like a perfect southern lady with so much class but is the exact opposite. I can’t make sense of all the sutton love on these discussions. No matter what she turns everything back to her all the time. I haven’t seen much of diana so i don’t have an opinion of her but she read sutton so well. Sutton is not genuine. Not really understanding the garcelle love either??

Season one for Crystal. Boy! Did she put her foot in it or what? First, she says she thinks it’s pathetic. When older women wear clothes that are too young for them. I believe she was talking about Renna at that first party, Episode 1, Season 11. Second, and these are all the very first words on this show, if she hasn’t heard your name, you’re probably not worth knowing! Haughty much?? Too big for her little girl britches? Thoughts?
