She seems actually incredibly jealous of Dorit who has a career, a family and a husband that is her best friend. Erika has the glam squad she pays to be her friends to fill the void of her absent husband and she has "Erika Jayne".

The reunion looked like the Erika and Rinna show. They both just kept up their acts and helped spur each other along the whole time. Two peas in a pod.

Agreed. FWIW, I even liked her golden head plate. I think Dorit is a fine addition to the show and can hold her own without being boring.

I liked it too! Way better than the aptly called pink "My Little Pony" wig that Erika thought she looked marvelous in.

I see them both as loving fashion and trying to rock runway looks. Dorit's is more styled like European fashions probably because she's traveled a lot for work and Erika's is more like fashions of the young Hadid and Jenner sisters.

Both are nice styles, but Erika just looks a little ridiculous always dressing like a young 20 something.

For example, I love the look of TShirt dresses and high heels on young women, they can rock it. But a woman wearing it to an older adult crowd party does make one scratch their head. I could see Kylie wearing it to a party at Tyga's house though and it would look great. The super short skin tight body-con dresses also look great on young women, but even if you have a rockin body at 40+ you just look better in something a bit more upscale and slightly less bling-y.

Eileen's histrionics to prove how "un-dramatic" and "real" and "regular actor" she is was truly an over-the-top, soap-y performance.

In college, I studied acting with a pretty serious/famous actor/director. One of the FIRST things he taught us is that there are different ways to hone the craft. He specificlaly identified and discussed soap acting as one "branch"/type of acting. He says it takes a very specific type of approach and talent. It's definitely different than theater acting, film acting, telvision acting, etc. That's not knocking it--that's just acknowledging a reality.

ANY ACTOR pretty much knows that acting on a stage or behind a camera are worlds apart. Totally different approaches to hitting marks, calibrating the volume of your voice, "range" of facial expresions, etc.

Eileen...buh-bye to YOU. You are ridiculous.

I agree. Kim shouldn't have given the bunny back the way she did but I am superstitious and I wouldn't have wanted the bunny from Rinna. I think Rinna should not have given Kim the bunny. I would not have wanted to take it in the first place. It had bad mojo.

Erika is full of herself. She's a label dropper which I do not like. Her glam squad seems to be there to tell her how great she is and they are way too over the top. Mikey grates on my last nerve. She talks about how her mom was "hard" on her but the examples she and her mother face where not really examples of bad "hard" parenting.

Rinna and Eileen with their "Buh Bye, Buh Bye" were insufferable.

Kim--not my favorite but I do think she's sober. She hasn't been sober that long. I know people who are early in their sobriety (less than a year to two years). I also go to Al Anon which also has the 12 steps. People don't overnight suddenly become perfectly serene and change all their character defects overnight. It is a process. Kim seemed diffeeent but new in her sobriety. AA is a daily program that people work and people grow in it overtime. I hope Kim stays sober, works her program and continues to grow. I also hope the topic of her sobriety never comes up again on the show.

Yes, they were THE worst then. Eileen asks Kim a question, when Kim tries to respond as to why she calls Eileen a 'soap' actress, Eileen completely interrupts her over and over again. What a bitch Eileen was in that moment. Class Act.

I agree on Kim's sobriety. She was sober, just doesn't handle herself well. She probably has anxiety too.

I also agree. I was so disgusted with the way Eileen treated Kim. Eileen asked the question, and then tries to shut down Kim instead of letting her answer. So malevolent - and I usually like Eileen. I think she's become the biggest ass-kisser though. She's always sucking up to Erika and it drives me crazy.

While I think the bunny thing was ridiculous, I really felt for Kim. These "ladies" are so mean to her and I thought she handled herself pretty well. She didn't start crying (as I would have) or back down. Rinna really did use Kim as her story line for years, and I'm glad Kim called her on it.

Speaking of Rinna (another one of my former favorites), she was HORRIBLE. What a fake. I'm so sick her "speaking my truth" BS. What a load of crap. And she has seriously got to change that hairstyle.

I also liked the golden head cap - it was very edgy and "runway," and I thought it was cool and daring of her to try it. Erika looked so ridiculous in the pink wig. Dorit's voice annoys the hell out of me (as does the fact that she seems to need multiple nannies and housekeepers to raise her two children), but I do think she always dresses appropriately and fashionably. Erika can't say the same. I think Erika's too old to still be doing her soft-porn videos. It just looks desperate, and I can only imagine the ribbing her son gets from his fellow police officers. How mortifying.

I was very surprised Andy didn't ask Eden what was up with her meltdown at LVP's party re: Rinna. That never even came up! I find her dull as dirt, so I'm hoping she won't be returning.

Can someone please explain the bunny thing?

At a party, Rinna gave Kim a stuffed animal bunny for her grandson.
Maybe someone can correct me on this -- I remember Rinna saying something snarky about the bunny in her one-on-one interview. Did she? A joke about Kim boiling the bunny?

At the reunion, Kim gave the bunny back to Rinna. Kim said she thinks the bunny has bad energy because of where she and Rinna were at the time (not friends), so she wanted to return it. Kim told Rinna that when they're at a better place, Rinna can give the bunny back to Kim (or not).

The ladies (and people on DCUM, apparently) reacted as if Kim had soaked the bunny in blood and cut off it's head before throwing it across the room at Rinna. Rinna CRIED at the reunion because of this; saying she's never been more embarassed. Let a single, dramatic, tear fall down her cheek (which the camera guy did a close-up on)....it was horribly fake acting. When Kim went to explain to Rinna backstage WHY she gave back the bunny (because of her superstitions), she said "can I talk to you?" and Rinna said "No!" and then started laying into Kim as they walked back to set.

Excellent summation. Rinna looked like a huge jackass over something so stupid. I find it hard to believe that was the most embarrassing incident of her life.

Just remember what Lisa R said about herself at the beginning of her first season:
" I'll do annnyyything for a buck"

Then Lisa makes a lot more sense.

[Anonymous]

It will be interesting to see if next season there is any discussion of Erica's short stay on Dancing with the Stars. They seem to jump on any opportunity to criticize one another.

Lisa's reaction to Kim's return of the bunny was ridiculous. "You are a sick woman"...what?! Lisa cried as if she was in a Lifetime movie.

[Anonymous]

I went back to the episode and watched it. Lisa Rinna made jokes about Kim burning the bunny, cutting its ears off, cutting its head off, and making it into a voo doo doll. Keep is classy, Rinna.

Gross, no wonder Kim gave it back. Rinna is awful.

Talk about a gross overreaction. I think what Rinna's done is a lot more "sick" - spreading lies about Kim being "near death" and only "partially sober." And the accusation about doing coke at Dorit's house. These are what I would call sick and damaging claims. Not returning a gift, for crying out loud.

It's sad, I used to adore Rinna, and thought she'd be so much fun to hang out with. But clearly, she can't be trusted at all. It's a shame.
