I think Brandi is so unserious talking about LVP line she is a Batman villain, and the rest of them are like “Yes!”. Once Kyle said something about chess Brandi never let it go. The “set up” was basically because LVP is probably generally smarter than most of the women on the show and doesn’t feel bad about it. To me, it seems like some of the housewives give her a god status where they need to be accepted by her. However, Lisa doesn’t give out full approval to anyone, not even Ken! They know that’s not in her character and at one time they all decide they deserve her full approval and are done trying for it.
I think Lisa plays with her intelligence often, but because Brandi is not as smart she got scared of her. I doubt Lisa thinks or thought that these women were taking her jokes seriously, but when there is a difference in intellect, some jokes are missed. ALSO Brits are different when it comes to dry humor, they kind of invented it. Sometimes Lisa’s jokes are so dry it just comes across as bitchy in the US.

HOWEVER. She did tell Brandi to put the rag mags in her bag, I don’t know why she lied to Kyle about it. Maybe she felt guilt or knew that Mauricio would get upset about it. She lied too much about nonsense things and the others used it as leverage to attempt a takedown. Ultimately, unsuccessful, but Brandi gave it her all

For context, I absolutely loved the earlier seasons of RHOBH, my best friend and I used to come home from work and watch it on catch-up. However, we just finished Season 4 recently and have found ourselves not as invested in the show to continue watching it anymore.

Perhaps and unpopular opinion, however, I didn't like Joyce. I felt she was quite boring in some periods and honestly didn't bring a lot to the show in general, compared to say Adrienne who we did not see this season.

Ultimately, do you think it would be worth it to continue watching the show, or move to a different franchise? Honestly, we both tried our very best to enjoy this season, but it just didn't leave us with a feeling of wanting more.

I am watching RHOBH from the beginning for the first time (I have watched NJ and SLC).

Is there not something telling about Camille talking to Allison and Dee Dee about Mauricio and his eye for women, when her marriage with Kelsey is what it is (or was what it was I should say)?

wow i am so sick of kim at this point, hearing her blaming kyle about her dog biting is so sad. rip to that poor fur baby 😭 i can’t stand her during part 3 😵‍💫

My girl Taylor had such strong feelings about him, I KNEW he wasn’t a good man. Yolanda just seemed to put on too much regarding her marriage, I don’t think anybody was fooled. It’s just incredibly sad she was blindsided, and I feel awful for her. She seemed to truly love him.

His red flags were clear to me since his weird dinner parties 😭.

I know Yolanda doesn’t return after this season and although she wasn’t my fav, she grew on me, and I will be sad to see her go. Was she fired or did she choose not to return??

A young PK!

I feel like I should add (because this is the second one I've shared), I don't go looking for these videos, they pop us as I'm in r/apprentice 🤣

Just finished my S5 rewatch and I miss it already. What a fun, crazy, fulfilling season. I'm not ready to give them up and start the beginning of the end of how safe the show becomes.

The tone was SO fresh coming into S5 from S4. Eileen and Rinna fit in so naturally and helped bring back that Beverly Hills/Hollywood feeling that always set this franchise apart from the other cities.

Brandi started the season really strong. She was making an effort to repair relationships, wasn’t drinking too much, and honestly could’ve had a full-on redemption season. She really should’ve stayed on that cleanse—or at least limited herself to one little glass of wine—because her drinking ultimately led to her downfall with the “playful” slap of LVP. Had that never happened, I think she very likely would’ve gotten another season.

Kim was a force to be reckoned with. She held these women’s feet to the FIRRRRRRREEEEEE. One thing Kim Richards has proven time and time again is that she is no Kyle and will not let you push her around. She will chew you up and spit you out. By the end, she was clearly exhausted by everyone constantly asking if she was on something or worrying about her, but Rinna ultimately proved just how new she was to the reality-TV game with those texts to Kim.

Lisa Rinna was just so much fun this season. I fell in love with her all over again. Her confessionals, her reactions in the moment, the way she inserted herself into situations—it was all fabulous. She’d been in Hollywood for decades, married to a successful B-list actor, but still came across as relatively normal and relatable.

And, of course, her fight with Kim in Amsterdam was ICONIC. What makes it even better is how little people talk about the fact that these two basically shoved the entire thing under the rug the next day. It was completely insane, but it’s exactly the kind of Housewives behavior I love. They had their explosive fight, temporarily moved on, went shopping together, confused the hell out of Eileen and Kyle, and then proceeded to have more spats.

Then came the revelation that Rinna had been texting Kim. Telling her to “watch her back,” saying she needed to be stopped, and doing it on two separate days completely out of the blue was INSANE. It was the prelude to the Housewife Lisa Rinna would eventually become.

And one tiny moment I’ll never forget: when Rinna was getting ready for Amsterdam, she pulled out a jacket and Delilah said something like, “OMG, I love that jacket, I need to steal it.” Rinna responded, “It’s from Target!” And Delilah immediately went, “Oh.” The way she instantly lost interest the second she found out it wasn’t designer or expensive was hilarious.

I don't think Andy laughed as hard at any RHOBH reunion than this one. Esp when Brandi made her Rinna hair comment he couldn't hold it in.

This popped up on my feed and the first interviewer looked so familiar to me then it clicked, it’s PK!!!
