+1. Don't you think a lot of what Ken and Lisa do (esp. this mini-horses storyline) are just to get more screen time on the show. If they change their minds, the can easily afford to get rid of them.

Ken cracks me up. What a doormat! He and Lisa are certifiably crazy.

I think Yolanda was sick, probably a combo of Lyme and her leaky breast implants. She then made it worse with her millions of treatments and medications and daily colonics and vitamin C infusions and whatnot.

I also think she might be menopausal and feels like crap because of that. And lastly, I think she has some huge misconceptions about how good she can possibly feel. She's 51. Even if she gets the Lyme treated and the implants and silver fillings out, she's going to feel, at best, like a 51 year old woman. She posted a modeling picture of herself from the 80s a couple weeks ago and captioned it "Goals" which I thought was really revealing. She is never going to be 20 years old, young and beautiful again. Ever. Even if she gets fully treated. She's still going to be middle aged. Her daughters' youth and beauty and soaring careers are not helping her cope with that either I don't think.

Of course it's the editing. Please, do you honestly believe this is all she talks about? She is on the show this season because of the lyme story.

DP, I do. That's all she talks about on Social media. I must admit, I am an outlier. I have never been impressed with Yolanda. I guess I couldn't get pass the lemon trees, the diet pressure in Gigi, and "my king".

+1000
She's always been very much about her image as this perfect wife and mother. Pretty off-putting.

Actually, yes - I do believe this is all she talks about. Anyone who posts Instagram pics of herself with IVs, or sick in the hospital, is very much self-absorbed and a narcissist.

Anonymous wrote:My take on Yo is that she isn't faking it on the sense that she knows she's not sick and is pretending. I think her IG posts and general behavior are a cry for empathy and compassion. I've seen with illness and other behaviors that sometimes when a person doesn't feel like they're getting the proper support that they start making more desperate calls for attention. It almost always backfires because people tend to react the way Lisa R did and then blame the victim, but I truly think she just wants sympathy from her husband, daughters and friends and doesn't seem to be getting it. I can't speak to what's actually wrong with her but I guess I've always found her the realist of the housewives and can't picture her faking this. I think Lisa Pump is loving that she can finally get revenge for Yo yelling at Ken two seasons ago and isn't a real friend at all.

I also agree with this. People quickly lose patients with ill or grieving friends and family.

I think Lisa is quite the bitch. She's pretty crass but jumps on any chance to look down on anyone else who makes an offcolor comment. She seems like a collector/rescuer to me. She likes having broken/damaged people around her who she "helps" then rejects. She looks down on most of the people she is around. Are any of the relationships she has that are shown on the show involve anyone she thinks is equal to her?

I agree that Ken wanted nothing to do with those ponies. Lisa backtracked some on him wanting them and said she wanted them. What a strange collection of animals she is amassing. Is she a narcissist?

Ken did not want those horses. He basically said it was an added burden for him.

Of course the health advocate is getting paid.

Lisa has made no bones that she is not Yolanda's friend. Lisa has always said that she was Muhammad's friend and Yolanda was Muhammad's wife and then ex-wife. Therefore, lisa was friendly with Yolanda. There is a difference between being friendly and being someone's friend. And Yolanda was a bitch to Ken, accusing him falsely of bearing/hitting her.

I thought Vince was acting like a jerk also. I like Lisa R. but I can only imagine the fallout from the Yo accusation.
