Real Housewives of BH

This is the hardest part of being a social work practitioner. Clients can be so darn unlikeable. People suffer horribly (e.g. domestic violence, rape, abuse) then can behave so horribly themselves (hi, Taylor!) that it can make it pretty challenging to connect with them. They can be wildly unsympathetic despite their circumstance.

question for 8:08: what's your sense about the truth relating to the abuse allegations? I grew up in an abusive family, and I just don't see it. Taylor's saying some of the things that abused women say, but the scenes with her husband don't say "abuse" to me. Not at all.

When they're together, she does not seem afraid of him at all, and even kind of seems to be the pants-wearer. I think she naturally defers to him but when they were at Adrienne's party she kind of put him and their marriage on blast when they were talking to a mutual acquaintance, which isn't something even I would do to my husband, and I have nothing to fear from him.

Last two pps:

If she faked abuse, that makes her more ill than someone ill enough to kill himself.

I agree with PP re: Kyle and Adrianne trying to stop Taylor for saying something on camera that might put her in danger. I think she is abused on hitting a wall. Might not be physical, but some abusers know how to cause pain w/o showing signs.

I hate that I love this show.

oh, and didn't Brandi seem naked in that white dress. And why did celebrity rehab sober house woman host a wine party?

AND hitting a wall.

Here's a good synapsis of the show last night:

They also talk about all of Taylor's crazy behavior.

Taylor was on the verge of collapse during their limo ride home and Kyle just said, "Oh, don't do that. Don't do that." She KNOWS why Taylor was crying and just wanted Taylor to shut up so she wouldn't have to deal with it and could pretend she's still in the dark.Had that been my friend I'd have said, You're staying at my place tonight, I'm not letting you go home like this. And we can figure something out in the morning when we're sober. Way to go Kyle, just shove her back at her own miserable doorstep and go home to your perfect marriage! Great friend.

I felt that Kyle kept mum because she really wants to ask Taylor whether all the abuse is true, but she is afraid that Taylor will attack her for it (much like she did with Camille).

I agree with you though about staying with Taylor.

Did anyone feel weired about Brandy kicking Taylor out? Talk about pouring oil on the fire!

I think Taylor is lying about being abused, or at the very least lying about the extent of it.

I used to believe her and thought it was disgusting that anyone would doubt her claims, but she lies about everything (even her name) and then plays the victim.

For my money, NyMag's recaps of RHBH are the best. Today's isn't up yet, it usually comes up in mid afternoon but they are phenomenal. Very insightful, and usually funny. Comments provide good discussion. My favorite way to waste 40 minutes on a Tuesday afternoon.

Thanks in advance for wasting my time. Darn you! and my lack of self control!

If you really want to waste time, go back and read all of the NYmag recaps from the beginning of the RHOBH season. And if you REALLLLLLY want to waste time, go and read their recaps from the recent season of RHONJ. Different writer, but just as hilarious.

Not sure about on Demand. But Bravo usually runs them throughout the week.

Yes but Bravo can be slow about getting them up... might not be there until tomorrow.

NYMag's recaps are very good, but Gawker's recaps are the best. I feel evil for sharing this addictive time-waster . . .
