Main Theme and Purpose

In this episode, Ben and Ronnie deliver their signature comedic but loving critique of the latest Real Housewives of Beverly Hills episode. They focus on the emerging interpersonal drama, new character developments, and the campy excesses of RHOBH, mixing sharp recaps with tangential riffs, comparisons to other Bravolebrities, and playful mockery of the housewives’ personalities, quirks, and notable moments. The episode demonstrates the build-up of significant tension, new conflicts (particularly around Amanda), and the bizarre glamour of Beverly Hills’ social scene.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

So today is Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season episode six, star signs and bad times.

[A]

Yes. I felt like this was the first, like, good episode of the season. Right. Like, I mean, the episodes have been fine, but this is the first one where I was like, this is the first one. I was like, wow. This is the first one where I was like. I think I was invested the way I felt like I should be for a Real House House of Beverly Hills episode. What about you, Ronnie?

[B]

Yeah. Ben texted me last night during the episode and said this episode is actually really good Signs of life.

[A]

Yeah, for sure. I think, like, we've been watching. We've been. We've been watering the. The Amanda plant, and the first sprouts are coming up, like. And meaning in the sense that, like, the women have been. Get slowly getting annoyed by her. And now it's. Now it's. Now it's starting to bubble out. And. And that's what I've been waiting for all season, is the conflict to brew. So that made me really happy. Of course, there was a mix of tragedy in there as well. So.

[B]

Just kidding. We're like, wow, Amanda really did great last night. It's like trauma. It's like all trauma. We're all trauma bonded after the episode. What a great episode. It's like the most depressing thing ever that happened.

[A]

I know.

[B]

So there was, like, a lot of horrible stuff that happened too. But still, I mean, the funny comes out and Dorit just being so completely tone deaf and unable to read a.

[A]

Room, especially after what Dorit went through and how angry she was at Sutton for being equally tone deaf in that moment. So it's good to see what goes around, comes around. But we begin in Beverly Hills. Look at all these brands. Louis Vuitton, Balenciaga, Kyle by Aileen. Shadows of a pastime. So it's the typical stuff with, like, violins and Kyle Bailey nevermore. We see Kyle's driveway, and their. Their driveway is just, like, full of black cars. It's like. It looks like. It's like this is where the motorcade parks. You know, when a president's in town, they park in Kyle's driveway until the.

[B]

President'S doesn't have enough money for all those Birkins, so she's starting her own Uber fleet over there. Just lots really black cars.

[A]

She can't find her car. She has all the same. Same color car. I mean, it's. It's kind of like she's. She's gonna, like, rob a bank or something. And it's like, oh, which one is to get? And she's also winds up having a lot of trouble getting out of her driveway. And I'll tell you why. Because she's got too many tall hedges around that driveway. That's why. You don't have tall hedges around your driveway, because inevitably you're going to need to do some K turns and those hedges get in the way. You need to give yourself a little bit of space because, you know, your tire can stay in the driveway, but your car butt can poke out into where the hedges are. And now you've lost that space. So fuck you, Kyle.

[B]

Then we go to Sutton. She's opened packages, and she's got a little fly mask and hoof covers for her horse. She's like, wow, I'm a horse girl. I love horses. It's my horse. That horse really hurt my feelings. You horse. Then we go to Erica.

[A]

You horse.

[B]

You horse. Oh, I talked to my mama. Everything's better now. She keeps relying on this, like, wow, I went to my therapist. Reba. Sutton, you're basically illustrating your problem. Your therapist is Reba, you need to go to real therapy, okay? No one should be calling your mother. No one should be calling their mother for therapy in general, anyway. But especially particularly your mother. Your mother's horrifying. What are we gonna get next? Muzzy for? You know, like, good after lunch Hugs. No, nobody needs that. Nobody needs Reba.

[A]

Well, we go to Erica's house, where we get our traditional top of the episode. Erica does some things around her house. She's just like us. And so she's doing some things. And Erica's like, look, no, everybody underestimates my homemaking skills. And she basically, like. She basically dusts a chair outside. Look at me. I'm just like every other American out there dusting off a chair. I'm just like, you just dressed a lot more stupidly. Thanks, America.

[B]

Then we go to Rodeo Drive, and there's a song, I guess they go to a store called what Goes Around Comes Around. Oh, really?

[A]

Justin Timberlake memorabilia.

[B]

Rachel comes in. She's like, I just wanted to know if you had a new jacket from the brand. This is going to ruin the tour.

[A]

Oh, my God, my bag. I want this right away. Oh, my God. Chanel Black Caviar, Supermodel XL. $11,000 500. Oh, my God. It's mine. It's mine. Like, I literally. I die. I die. And the vendor's like, oh, my God. This is literally your closet, Rachel. Like, it's like, my closet. Like, I feel like I'm in my closet. And, like, outside, there's like, Kai. Kai. And he's like, knocking on the door, being like, mom, can I get a Capri Sun? I'm like, k. So you can get whatever you want because you're so moisturized. You're a great son. Oh, my God, I die.

[B]

It's like, literally a disease how I shop. Like, I literally cannot stop shopping. It's like a drug. I'm dead. Slow motion, Rachel. I'm dead. There's a certain kind of a gay that is bred only to please real housewives. I feel like maybe like an NPC character following the housewife along her journey. Just there to be like, make a left up there. Make a right up there. You're doing great. And this gay is one of those. And he was cracking me up this whole time. He's just like, wow, Rachel, this is basically your closet. Am I right? Do a twirl on that. Get that watch. You better get that watch, Rachel. Yes. You're gonna buy that. It's gonna complete you.

[A]

Yes, yes, yes, yes. Yeah, that. He's just really just there to give, like, affirmations to a lady who's shopping.

[B]

Yeah, he's so good at it. He made me feel good. I wasn't even shopping. She's, like, taking a little treat out of her purse. Open up, gay. Here you go. You did great. You did great.

[A]

But it's nice because he gets so excited to see her excited. And when I am in that role, I'm like, that's nice. But I'm, like, bored, you know? And so I think it's really cool that. That he. That this is able to access a pleasure zone for him in a way that it can't for me. Because, like, I try. I try to sometimes be a fashion gay. And, you know, I pay attention more to fashion now, but more like men's fashion for myself. But, like, I. I struggle to really connect with women's fashion and with the same sort of attention that. That these other gays do. And so it's cool. It's cool. But, like, I. I'm.

[B]

It's sweet.

[A]

Not built for it. I'm not built.

[B]

Yeah, it's sweet. It's like his calling, you know, he's just called to do it. And that's what he feels. That's what he. And it could be. It doesn't even have to be fashion. He could be working at a cookie store, but if the housewife comes in there, he's gonna be like, oh, my God, yes, this is your cookie. Yes. Snickerdoodle. You better snicker that doodle. Yes. You're killing it. Like, just. Just pleasing his master, his natural master in the. In the food chain, the Real housewife.

[A]

Sidekick in the sidekick world. Well, I would become that. Like in a cookbook store, I will be honest. Or like a kitchen, like a restaurant supply store. I'd be like, oh, my God, bitch, get a sheet pan. Yes. Oh, I love this for you. Do you have cat? You have cast iron skillet? Oh, yeah. Get a 10 inch. Or if you like it, move up to 12 inch after that. Oh, yeah, she is beautiful. I mean, I will. That I will access it there, but I will not access it at what goes around comes around.

[B]

You never know. They could come out with cookware. It's time for a commercial. It's time for a grappens commercial.

[A]

[B]

So Rachel is, you know, now trying on a $5,000 jacket. And then Bose comes and Bose is like, oh my God, a Rolex. I have to have this Rolex. And he's like, oh my God, two housewives one time. Hold on, let me grow another head so I can talk to you about. Yeah, it's like another little gay head pops up. It's like, yeah, I've got the Rolex. Yeah, I've skipped the jacket. That Rolex is you. The jacket is your soul.

[A]

Dad, dad. Double headed dead. Do you have like a. I'm glad.

[B]

There'S two of you here to watch me die.

[A]

I'm gonna name left head Bam and right head Nanas. So. But Bose is like, well, I might have to get it. I really can't be trying other things though because tmi, I'm bloated, but not because of anything I ate, girl. It's because of medication. And Rachel's like, oh yeah, I was praying for you. Like how did it go? The medication and the things you were doing. I was praying for the things. Etc. So good. In two days I'm going back to Vegas and Keely and I will come with me and I'll get my eggs retrieved. And the doctors say there's a 40% chance that it'll just be some poker chips. But who knows what goes. What goes on in Vegas stays in Vegas.

[B]

What is it with real housewives refusing to do egg retrieval in their cities? I mean, you've got quad who's like, I'm going to Ghana. I'm going to Ghana for my eggs. And then you've got this one who's going to Vegas? I mean Vegas is a lot closer than Ghana.

[A]

But, Well, I mean, I understand.

[B]

Is there just no good egg stuff in, like, where you live? I mean, if Atlanta has a pretty big, huge, great medical community, and I'm sure Beverly Hills does. I mean, at the very least in Beverly Hills, you can get your eggs, and they'll already have their cheeks done right there in the little petri dish.

[A]

Yeah. Well, I understand with. With quad, there's, like, a spiritual connection to the land, it seems like. And then with maybe Bo's going to Vegas. It's like knowing that you can get egg retrievals and then actually a side of eggs and bacon for $2. You know, as part of. Part of the Vegas special.

[B]

Vegas doesn't charge you by the egg. They charge you by the experience. I got 37 eggs. I went to a buffet of eggs.

[A]

Well, the truth is this. I know I could retrieve my eggs here in Beverly Hills. But if you do it in Vegas, Chris angel performs it for you, and it's just fascinating.

[B]

I want my baby to be there while Adele has a residency.

[A]

It's like, the guy. That guy's got the dragon. He's like, time to get your eggs.

[B]

Carrot tops. Pulling your egg out of a chest. So she talks about her ultrasound, and she's like, oh, it showed six egg houses. They were all modern farmhouse. So I know this baby will fit in in Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. They can retrieve the eggs. They. I'm ecstatic about the eggs, because the more eggs I have, the more hot sauce I'll have in my refrigerator.

[A]

Kyle is already jealous because she heard that Boaz is getting up to three more houses. What? She's getting three houses.

[B]

That's, like, 15 more cars for me. I'm gonna have to buy 15. Three more houses is gonna be 15 more cars to park out front.

[A]

Oh, my God. I can't believe she's doing that. So now we're back from. Bo's talking about that, and she's like, well, Rachel, I know you're having a party on Friday. She's like, no, you have to come. It's gonna be so fun. I die. It's like. But I understand. I understand. Like, I got it. It's. Oh, my God. Sunglasses. Okay, whatever you're talking about, that was cool. But, like, look, sunglasses. Oh, my God. Price tags. It's so chic. Love it.

[B]

By the way, can I point something out about the trip? Like, I'm not even kidding. Okay? I am, like, I'm a wing it person, as you know, Like, I just roll into my life whatever the happens Happens as long as I'm in some kind of a caftan.

[A]

Yeah, but that's why I'm so good. I'm such a wing it girl that I, like, totally FedEx my wardrobe ahead of time, so that way it'd be ready for me when I got there. I just wing it. Wing it.

[B]

And I think for Amanda, everything has to be laid out. Like, I think she's, like, very systematic. And by systematic, I mean she pervades.

[A]

All of our culture.

[B]

She said, like, the unspoken of what.

[A]

I'm saying, it's systematic. Amanda ism so systematic.

[B]

It's systemic. You know what? Amanda's systemic.

[A]

So then we see flashbacks of Amanda in the kitchen being like, oh, so, like, when are we having dinner? Because, like, I don't understand the timing. Like, am I. Should I be here? Should I not be here? Like, when are we gonna eat? Which I think is, to her credit, a very fair question to ask if people are down there and they're cooking, but no one knows when an actual dinner is.

[B]

Yeah, this is when housewives start hinting around that they hate somebody, and they're just trying to get, like, put feelers out to see if you hate them, too, you know? She's like. I don't want to just say she's a dumb bitch who, like, wears labels incorrectly. So I'm just going to call her a systematic. What do you think about that? Let's baby. Systematic. Baby steps to bitch. Systematic. Go.

[A]

She's systematic, automatic.

[B]

Static and nomadic. Is that bad, Missy Elliot? I don't think those are the lyrics. Oh, my God, it sounds like Vegas. My eggs are ready.

[A]

So Amanda, now it's the next morning. Okay. And I'm sorry. No, it's not the mathematics.

[B]

No, she's still talking about Amanda being systematic, like, how she has to do everything planned out. And then we see a clip of Amanda being like, I made my. My first list for my future ideal husband when I was 13. So, like, I made a list. Yeah, I've had a list for, like, 20 years. I'm systematic. She's like, see, systematic is even in the flashback.

[A]

So systematic. So Bose is like, well, her dropping that information about her friend and Avi, that was not accidental. And Rachel's like, I don't think anything she does is, like, accidental. And Bose is like, well, she wanted to drop it in there and perhaps gain some points, but the problem is that backfired. And then all of a sudden, it's like. And then we go over to Amanda's Newport beach rental home. And it's all beachy and there's flags out there, and all the kids are running around. And Amanda's like, shoshana. Shoshana. Because, of course, she has a kid named Shoshana. Shoshana, would you mind rollerblading around the house at a slightly lower speed? Shoshana. Shashi. Shashi. Shash. She's just like a blur. Shush.

[B]

Shoshana is going in circles around the kitchen island really fast. Like, whatever, mother. I know the rules. And Eddie's like, bye, Felicia. Because the kids go outside. So they leave, and Amanda tells us that they rented a place in Newport beach, and they just loved it so much that now, like, they're there every weekend, and it's basically like raising her children in the 80s because they're, like, not on screens. So.

[A]

Yeah, just an idea place to live.

[B]

Newport Beach. Old fashioned Newport Beach. Yeah, Just like. So, man, just like, raising your kids in the good old simple day.

[A]

Yeah. So Amanda and Eddie are sitting down in the living room, and Amanda's like, oh, I wanted to tell you about the Sedona trip while the babies are napping and the big hits are out. And he's like, yeah, so you guys flew into the small Sedona airport. Yeah, it's a small one. Not the big one. For the people, the money. P. S. I like Erica. Remember when I said that? She was the one who said boring when I ordered a mocktail. Remember that story I told? It was so funny. Okay, in recap, I ordered a mocktail, and Erica went boring. And I was like, I got you. I understand you. Anyway, I told you, like, a little bit about Sutton, right? Okay. Yeah. Well, I heard her old sister was like, you know, like, saying to her, like, oh, have Amanda call me, and I'll give her, like, all the dirt. Right? Yeah. And then I, like, said that to Sutton, like, verbatim as I got. Just as I got in the text. And then she, like, went cold. Like, I mean, like, her eyes, like, looked mad. I was like, what? I'm just, like, saying it verbatim from, like, a text. And she's like, what? And I'm like, what? And I'm like, I've got more money than you, so why are you looking at me? And she's like, what? And I was like, what? And we just, like, looked at each other.

[B]

Yeah, well, she obviously doesn't know you because she only gets a few strikes before you cut a down. And she goes, I mean, you're not wrong.

[A]

I wonder what they're doing up In Beverly Hills, at a boutique somewhere.

[B]

Well, all I know is that she calls herself the Money Queen. Richard goes, the Money Queen? Seriously? What? She's like, yes, that's what she calls herself. Did you not know that? She goes, what the does that even mean, the Money Queen? Like, what is that? Seriously, what?

[A]

Yes, that's what she calls herself. It's a public thing. I don't know. The Money Queen. I'm still just, like, trying to figure out how these words go together. I'm just gonna say it one more time. The Money Queen. I don't die.

[B]

I don't know why I keep repeating myself. No, hold on. I'll repeat myself. Money Queen. Seriously? Yes. But you've never had a job before. How are you telling people how to get money? I mean, if I could roll my eyes harder, I would. I love that. Both is onto her already.

[A]

Money Queen.

[B]

What do you do? I take people's money. Listen, I think that that's valid. I think that if you've got millions of dollars from, you know, scamming it off other people, that's. You still. You still got it. You still got the money.

[A]

Yeah, well, we see, we go back a few weeks when Amanda was like, yeah, I've got, like, no formal business experience. But then I found I have, like, a gift around the energetic part of money, which is still such a funny thing to say. So Bo's like, if somebody is going to teach somebody else about how to make money, I expect that they make a lot of money doing some kind of work before. That way they can tell someone how to do the work so they can get the money that they're supposed to get after.

[B]

But Bose is missing the point. She's not trying to tell people how to work to get the money. She's telling people how to dream to get the money.

[A]

You know, pay to dream to get the money. Invest your money now so you can learn how to know how to get it back and then some.

[B]

I don't even think it's investing. It's just like investing in Amanda. Oh, yeah, yeah. Invest your money.

[A]

Pay your money now.

[B]

Give your money to me. And then one day maybe you'll be rich because you gave me a lot of money. I mean, that's for stupid people. But still, she's getting it, you know, Would we only take money from smart people?

[A]

So Rachel's like, I thought she does, like, affirmations like, am I okay? Am I?

[B]

Could you check my levels? Do I have one?

[A]

Do I. Do I have sudden onset coma coming on Because I thought she only did affirmations. She's like the money queen.

[B]

Like, hold on, I'm going towards the light. I'm going towards light. I think I'm dead. Hold on. Going towards light. It's a watch. Queen by. This is your watch? This is your watch. Oh, my God. I'm seeing two heads right now. Are there two gay people here or am I dead? Are you angels? Are you angels? Are you angels?

[A]

Yes. I have, like, malaria from a money queen. Mosquito. I like cats. Producer asked Rachel, would you ever read Amanda's book Rich as? And she's like, no, I would never read a book called Rich As. No, it's just like, not my energy. I just don't even know what a book is. Like, what's a book? Like, I've been booked. So you're asking me, like, would I be booked? Like, yeah, I'll be booked.

[B]

Is this book. This book. Tell me, is it written on a caftan? Okay, no. Then no interest. No interest.

[A]

Can so Kaius moisturize his face with this book then? No, no, no.

[B]

Will it keep Skysky from riding an e bike? Okay, Skysky. I'll read that. Sky.

[A]

Sky.

[B]

Read it. So the vendor is like, okay, your total comes to $10,500 worth every penny. My $10,500 queen. Yes, I can. She's like, oh, my God. Oh, my God. Pasta. I've lost my mind. I've lost my mind. Pasta. No, I would never. I didn't, like, lose my fucking mind out of my ears. I would never say pasta. I'm kind of monster. Are you fire this gay? No, Rachel, please, please. Sorry, I had to banish. The gay suggested I have pasta in a store. It's over for him.

[A]

Rachel leaves and a sad piano plays as the gay goes back to his little den in the back and hibernates until she comes back to the store. Well, he a good season.

[B]

He shrinks down and turns into smoke and goes into a little tiny jar kept inside the cash register. A straight guy comes out. He's like, all right, I'm here to sell.

[A]

All right, bro. So Amanda, back to Amanda's place. Amanda's talking to Eddie and she's like, anyone cry about mama being gone? Like, even not even at bedtime? He's like, no, bedtime is different because Canaan laid on top of me like he usually does. And Liam was beside me and I held Shosha's hand on the top bunk and I felt him the most. I felt him in a really long time. And it Turns out that what they're talking about is that they had lost a child three years ago that they had. Amanda had given birth to twins. They were in the NICU and one of them didn't make it. And it was a very sad and scary. It's terrible. It's really, really. It's really bad. And we see cell phone footage of them cradling their child and crying. Etc. It's very dramatic.

[B]

I. It's very, you know, cell phone footage on the tv.

[A]

I don't know if I have cell phone footage.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. But it's one of those elements where you're like, okay, but obviously that's like a huge loss. I'm not gonna say, you know, I'm not gonna say anything. But as a viewer, I was like, what the hell? It was weird. Kind of. It was weird to put that. But, you know, I talk about that all the time of, like, people, like, posting pictures of themselves crying on Instagram. I just don't get that. I'm from, Like, I don't get it either. I'm just from. I'm just an older, you know, where it's like, cry at home and then pretend you're happy on the Internet, you know, So I don't know which way is better, really.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

But it was shocking to see on TV for sure. And what a terrible.

[A]

Only because it happened.

[B]

My God.

[A]

Yeah. I have to imagine maybe they were like, we want to document these. These moments that we do have with our child. But it was. Yeah. I don't know if I personally would have whipped out a phone that moment, but it was.

[B]

But it was so sad. So she's like, you know, and obviously the anniversary of him dying is on Friday. And last year, that was a weird day for me, so I don't know how I'll be. And he. And so then the music's like, Beverly Hills. Fucking Beverly Hills. So we see Doritos. Yes. Dorit. Strutting down the street and going into a restaurant called USPI and Sounds like a very Dorit restaurant. Did name that. U speeding. What were we meeting? What? Ah, Speed. Where?

[A]

It's her trying. It's her trying to sing. Don't speak.

[B]

Don't speak.

[A]

Just what you're saying.

[B]

Please don't speak.

[A]

So she meets with her new two woman management team, Claudia and Emma. And Tareet's like, oh, hello. Oh, God. I think I'll go with the fish sandwich. You never see those today. Which I thought was such a funny thing.

[B]

What happened to the fish sandwich? What's it doing fish fill Where?

[A]

Fish fill Where?

[B]

Never seen a fish sandwich before. To knew me. In this new book, for example, Dorit stands for the return of fish sandwiches. Write that down, ladies.

[A]

So this lady Claudia is like, well, Dorit, I have something for you. Is it a fish sandwich? Because you never see those anymore. Did you notice that? No, it's not. Here you are on a copy of a roller coaster magazine.

[B]

Spelled R O L L A C O A S T har Roller Coaster magazine. I'm looking it up right now. Roller coaster magazine. Dorit. Dorit. Okay, roller coaster magazine. Dorit Kemsley covers roller coasters. SS25 issue history. It's Dorit in like a little French coat. French coat. Trench coat. Maybe it's French. French trench coat. I'm going to go with that. And she is looking to the side and sunglasses, standing in front of a bunch of trees and reading a newspaper in a really awkward way. Like the news. The newspaper all scrunched up.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

And kind of closed. Like she doesn't quite know how to read a newspaper. She's never done it before.

[A]

Yeah. And she's in front of a lot of. A lot of ferns or palms or something like that. She's the Los Angeles Times Sunday edition. The deeper wait. The headline says, a deeper look at shootings of bystanders by the LA Times. It's like, look at me having a fashion moment, reading an article about how people are getting shot on the streets.

[B]

That's very to read. Like, you see kind of a house between the trees. Like, who shot this? So just scanning through random parts of the article, I found this. I wanted to be a lawyer from a very young age. But at five or six years old, I wanted to be a cowgirl. I was sure I wanted to be a cowgirl. I loved horses.

[A]

They were.

[B]

They were my favorite animal. And I spoke to my father about it and explained that it doesn't bring. He explained it doesn't bring in a great income. So after that I said, okay, then I'm really not sure what to do. But you remember those shows like Divorce Court? I just loved that forum. And I was very drawn to being a lawyer. Even to this day. I think I would have been a really great lawyer. But you knew that wasn't my destiny. And they're like, could you pull a Kim Kardashian? She goes, oh, someone said that to me the other day, actually, I'm sure Dorit someone the other day said, you know what? You should pull a Kim Kardashian. And Become a lawyer, Dorit. No one said that to you, Dorit.

[A]

Yeah, after no one said that. It's actually quite a long interview. Like, it's. It's really. It goes for a while. I mean, no surprise, it's Dorit. So she has a lot to say about everything.

[B]

I'm just gonna scroll to another part because I love Dorit's stupidity. Do you think it's therapeutic or harmful to have those moments immortalized for others to consume? Somewhere in between my children footage of when they're young is nice to have. Life is a series of evolution. For example, I started out as a baby elephant. Just hideous. And then I found roller skates and became the beautiful penguin swan you see today. Thank you.

[A]

Thank you.

[B]

Evolution. I'm going to be a penguin swan lawyer with curls and hair.

[A]

That's it.

[B]

Print it. Write it down for the book. People for generations will know this. This. This is Dorit.

[A]

Commercials. Here comes one right now. Reggie, I just sold my car online. Let's go, grandpa.

[B]

Wait, you did?

[A]

Yep, On Carvana. Just put in the license plate, answered a few questions, got an offer in minutes. Easier than setting up that new digital picture frame. You don't say.

[B]

Yeah, they're even picking it up tomorrow. Talk about fast. Wow.

[A]

Way to go.

[B]

So about that picture frame. Ah, forget about it.

[A]

Until Carvana makes one, I'm not interested. Car selling made easy on pickup. Fees may apply, they say. What's the last thing that made you laugh hysterically? Gee, I need to do that more often. That was me laughing hysterically. That's probably the longest period of time where laughter is not as prevalent as it normally is in my life. But I'm thinking about that day on the beach at Carcelles. Little jabs. Little hilarious jabs. Kyle. Kyle and I were literally almost peeing our pants. We left so hard, I went, and we were on the ground nearly wetting ourselves. I think she actually did. You could print that. Kyle Richards pees her pants all the time. Liar, liar, pants not on fire because they're soaked in urine.

[B]

So Dorit is writing a book, guys. She's getting a book.

[A]

And.

[B]

We find out that she had to get her rid of her manager because she separated from her husband. And that was her. So they're like, so was PK a better manager or a better husband? And she's like, chain both of my answers to a radiator and give them a very small national tour. There's my answer. Karma chameleon.

[A]

Guys, I need to work. I need to earn money. I Don't want to have worries. I want to be able to buy whatever I want, be it a bulgari watch or a fish sandwich, you know, you don't see those very much anymore. So I do whatever I want for the kids. I've got goals, guys, and I need to do those things. Like, well, obviously you've got the book coming out. One of the first things I said to you was, how have you not written a book? And then I talked to you and I realized I'm not sure this woman even knows how to hold a pen. So it makes sense.

[B]

Once I talked to you, I thought, have you not been hit over the head with the book?

[A]

I know, but if I'm going to do my memoir, I want to put my heart into it. I want people to be able to pick up my book, finish my book and say, why did I read that book? And that way they know me so much better.

[B]

Dorit, nobody wants a book from you. Okay? I think this book came out already. I think this book was written in like five minutes, by the way. I think she just like picked up her phone and like voice detected, texted and sent it to these ladies and they're like, add some pictures with Dorit with huge rollers in it and call it a day. And she's like, well, I just signed a book deal. Writing a book is not only going to give me the opportunity to go through the journey of processing everything that I'm going through, but thinking about everything that's led me to where I am today. The Good, the bad, the ugly. There's the title of the book. I don't like ugly people. I'll marry them, but I don't like them. Alright, print that. That was a good one. Book done, book finished. Who's paying for this fish sandwich? By the way, what if I bought a Bulgarian watch for the fish sandwich? Would that be a good chapter? Yes or no?

[A]

It's going to be a cathartic experience, but pen to paper and I really feel like I'm moving into a new chap of my life. And that is a pun. And you could put that in the book in the chapter that says fish sandwiches. Am I right?

[B]

The other thing we need to consider is the COVID That's the whole book? That's it. The COVID Yes. I just want a book that's a picture of me standing there looking out of a window about to say.

[A]

Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you.

[B]

You know, you need.

[A]

Oh, God, no. I love that they're going to shoot the COVID before the book has even. Not even finished. It hasn't even started. But they're going to do the COVID first.

[B]

Yeah, I think Dorit books. Dorit's book came out. Wasn't that something we talked about earlier in the season? Dorit Kemsley book. Let's see.

[A]

I don't remember.

[B]

Yeah, Dorit Kemsley book, Amazon Books. Let me look. It's called unburdened. Unburdened, that's right.

[A]

Unburdened. Yes.

[B]

A memoir. Let's see what it says. Unburdened. A memoir by Dorit Kimsle. Opening it now. The Real Housewives. God, it's the shortest description I've ever seen. It just says picture, insert picture. That's all it says. Now. It says, from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Dorit Kimsley comes a candid memoir, which she peels back the layers of her life and shares the unscripted moment that shaped who she's.

[A]

When she became unburdened by the fact that she finally found a place in Los Angeles that serves a fish sandwich. It's so hard to find. So now we go to a place called Elevate Infrared. And if you think that they are going to spell out the entire word elevate, you are mistaken, because it's elev number eight. And Sutton and Kyle go meet there, and they get into an infrared sauna that's 159 degrees and it is too hot for them. They're like, wait, we have to do an entire scene in this blazing heat? So then they try to turn the temperature down, and Kyle makes it hotter, and then they just. They basically just turn it off. Like, we're not doing this. Okay, I got into makeup today. We'll just turn it off. And, you know, they're like, we're not. We don't want to. We don't want to be filmed in red light. So here you go.

[B]

So you're not paying me enough to die on camera. Oh, really? Because, like, I do that in, like, literally everything, you wuss. By the way, I just wanted to add Dorit's can't. Dorit's book is on Amazon, but it's not available until April 21, just in case people were scrambling over there, like, hey, wait a minute. Why didn't Ronnie tell us when it's available? That's when it's available. Okay. Yeah. So we're in the sauna, and Kyle also has, like, a metal water thing, which I feel like wouldn't end up well in the sauna. You Just burned yourself.

[A]

I know that's gonna conduct heat. So Kyle gets right to work. Did you talk? Wind up talking to Jennifer. And Sutton's like, well, I mean, she and I were roommates, so we talk. If we talked every day. What. What are you talking about? She's like, no, but, like, after you snapped at us that night. Remember when you did that? Because you're cray cray. Did she say something? Yeah, well, I just find it interesting that she would say something to you before saying something to me. So now you tell me this information, and I'm gonna go tell stuff to other people before I tell it to Jennifer.

[B]

Yeah, and also, she did say something to you, and you snapped at her and shut her down in front of the entire group. Sutton. So she did try to say something to you. And so Kyle's like, well, I mean, argues in the moment when you were like, jennifer, just stop. Remember that? That was, like, so scary. You were so scary. I love it. And then when she went to the bathroom, I came out and she had tears in her eyes, and she was like, well, sudden snapped at me. And I was saying, like, it. You know, she was saying, like, it's always about you. So awkward. Wow. What a good friend, Kyle. That's really sweet of you to chase somebody while they're upset just so you can get dirt to go cause problems in their friendship.

[A]

Exactly.

[B]

There's Kyle. There's Kyle. Always old reliable Kyle.

[A]

Good old reliable Kyle. So Kyle goes, yeah. And then she said she understands why Garcello is not friends with you anymore. And I was, like, really surprised by that. But anyway, I think she may have smiled when she did that, and then, like, rubbed her hands together. And then maybe she said, I think you're my new best friend, Kyle. I don't know. I don't want to get you upset or anything. So that something's like.

[B]

Also, she fucked. She the niece. Yeah, she. One time with the breakers, so. I'm sorry. I'm getting all my shit talking. I'm sorry. I have five cars. I've got a lot to think about. It's getting all.

[A]

I think she's confused.

[B]

You stole her goddamn house.

[A]

I think that Jennifer also said that she's gonna go get her hair done by Joey Maloof or something like that. I don't know. Sorry. Is that triggering for you? Okay, Kyle, just stop it.

[B]

Adrian Maloof had a. Had a surrogate. It's happening to me. It's too hot for Kyle.

[A]

Kyle also says that Sutton. Kyle says that Jennifer said that Sutton can be problematic, which I don't believe we saw Jennifer say. So Sutton tells us that no.

[B]

And Kyle's purposely using that language because it's. She brought up Garcelle and then called her problematic because she knows that Garcelle is very sensitive about being called bigot on this show. So Kyle is purposely stoking fires with words like that. That's typical Kyle.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Not her best, but Sutton's very easy.

[A]

Yeah, she's like. I mean, Jennifer has seen how sad I've been over the past few months slash years, slash entire life. And it's just. It's so mean. And I just. I want to go talk to Jennifer immediately. But first I'll talk to Erica about it and some other people and some other people after that, and then I'll talk to Jennifer and say how upset I was that she didn't come directly to me the way I came directly to her after several people.

[B]

Yeah. So, I mean, that's really sucky. Come on. That's sucky to bring up Garcelle. I mean, people just bewilder me. They bewilder me. So now we go to Las Vegas, the Nevada Fertility Institute, and Boza's in a medical gown waiting with Keely, and they're going in for the procedure, and she's like, I'm ready for the egg. I brought this bucket from a nickel machine. Just put them all in here. Triple sevens. Triple sevens. Let's go. Let's go.

[A]

I'm feeling every emotion possible. I've never had a smooth pregnancy before. And if this doesn't work, I worry about Keely's overall satisfaction because I know he really wants a child. So if he doesn't have that, what does that mean? So this has to work. I'm like, I. I look in a relationship. I think it's a beautiful thing when people make sacrifices and do things for the people that they love. I think that is wonderful and great, but I also get, like, really sick and tired of hearing about these guys who are like, well, I want a baby. And, like, women who've had, like. Like high risk pregnancies are like, well, I guess I'll have to do this again. Like Caroline Stanberry. Now Bose is doing this. It's like. It's like. This is like, yeah, you may want. You may want to have a child. This lady has to do all the hard work, though, and it's, like, dangerous. I'm just like. I'm just like. I just feel like it's unfair and, like, every relationship is different and like, if booze is fine with it, then. Then it doesn't even matter what I say. I just think these guys are ridiculous. And yeah, I don't like hearing that he's going to leave because of it. When she's the one that's like, put her body through war, I just don't think.

[B]

Yeah, that's what I was going to say. The thing that bugs me is I don't like the term. I worry about Keely's overall satisfaction. As if at the end of this experience there's going to be a pop up. Like how on a scale of 1 to 10, how satisfied were you with Bose? Bose's service today and it just kind of grosses me out with, with Keely. Although, you know, like, I got it. They want. He wants to have a baby and stuff. But like, you're dating someone who's almost 50 and you should have started sooner, sir. Like, you wouldn't even move here in the first year.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So I feel, I just feel like it's a lot to ask and I don't like it. I'm team Bose.

[A]

Yeah. I mean it. Look, if they get a surrogate, that, that obviously helps. But like, we saw this on Dubai with Caroline Stanbury where like, like Sergio was like, I want to have another baby. I want that baby. I want that baby. And she was like, no, it's. I don't want to have another baby. It's really hard on me and it's gonna be like dangerous for my body. And the way these guys, like, I don't care. Like, I hate that. And again, you know, people make concessions for the people that they love and if they are fine with it, it's what they want, then like, it's who, like, it doesn't matter what I think, but these guys, you know, sort of forcing their ways. I just don't like it. I don't like that dynamic. Yeah.

[B]

So then we go to Rachel's house and guess what she's wearing. A full length gown. That's right, we're calling it that. Not a calf hat. How dare you. So we see senior brand producer Mary Elizabeth and private chef Leo. Yes, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio and Leo. Yes, Leo.

[A]

Fun fact. Former Bravo star Leo was a contestant on Chef Academy, a long forgotten Bravo show that was really, really good about people learning how to cook in Venice, California.

[B]

Well, there you go. Apparently he learned because now he's cooking for someone who doesn't eat. So I'm sure his food is delicious. He's like, my audition for the Rachel Zoe, I just brought in a plate of popsicle sticks and got the job. Nailed it.

[A]

So Rachel's like, oh, my God, what's happening? Like, why is this so dark in here? It's like, dark. Like, I can't see. Like, oh, my God. Before I could see. I can't see now. Oh, my God. Am I alive? Did I die? They always say, go towards the light. Is there, like, no light in the light? It's like, there's actually, like, so much light I can't see.

[B]

How am I supposed to go towards the light if the lights are out? Like, literally, like, I'm, like, dead. Like, I'm literally just, like, dead forever.

[A]

I'm like, come on.

[B]

And they're like, yeah. So the power's out on the entire block. Sorry. Don't hit me. She's like, oh, my God. I don't even understand why the this happens. Like, I do something. Like, what, are we supposed to just eat in the dark? It's like one of those restaurants you eat in the dark. Like, come on. Jesus. That's the only way Roger's gonna get a date, by the way. I hope he finds. I hope he finds one of those. To take some child into today.

[A]

I love Dead. I love that Rachel has no concept of rolling blackouts because it's the summer, and in Los Angeles, what happens is. Or in California in general, because it gets so hot that they have to do rolling blackouts because the energy grid gets, you know, gets overwhelmed with all the air conditionings and everything. And Rachel has, like, no idea. She's like, oh, my God. Like, the light, it just went out. Like, oh, my.

[B]

Did.

[A]

Did the electricity find, like, an amazing vintage Chanel bag? Because it seems like it's dead. It's dead. Oh, my God. I'm dead. No lights.

[B]

Rolling blackouts are not supposed to happen. Rich people supposed to roll around us, roll around us, roll away.

[A]

Roll, roll out. So Chef Leo's like, it's okay. I could, like, make it work. Look, I can make. I can cook with the lighter. I can light the gas with the lights. I don't understand what any of that means. I don't even know what a stove is. What's a stove? Is that, like, a new type of dress? I love it. But she's like, okay, well, I'm going to put on a spiky headband, make myself look like a Greek goddess, and walk it into this. Oh, my God. It's light outside, guys. Did you see that? It's, like, light outside, but it's like, dark inside. This is crazy. It's bananas, you guys.

[B]

Why does the sun have power but we don't? Like, this is unfair.

[A]

This is my fucking life. It's, like, not raining. There's no storm. Caius is moisturized and there's no reason not to have power right now. Like, what the. Like, why does this happen? Like, me. Why did electricity decide to target me today and, like, dead?

[B]

Meanwhile, at Sutton's house, Kathy is on speakerphone and she's like, I just don't know why we don't have power, but. Oh, you're gonna crack up. I came up with this idea. We're using a handheld fan. Because you're so hot.

[A]

Well, no.

[B]

To blow dry my hair with. We're blow drying my hair with a fan. I had the maids come in here and actually blow with their breath, but they've been eating a lot of caviar and potatoes. So it's a staff meal. It wasn't very good. I got a little bit of egg in my hair, so we changed to paper fans.

[A]

I gotta get the lady a toothbrush. Okay, well, do you need to come over here and use my electricity? Because blow dryers are very important. Oh, well, I may have to.

[B]

And you just hear Kathy's. You just hear Carol in the background going, blow harder, bitches. Blow harder. You're gonna be out on the street.

[A]

Jennifer has curlers in her hair and looking at. She's looking at shoes and dress from her sister, deciding what she's gonna wear.

[B]

Yeah. So then Amanda is driving around in her red Porsche Converti and Kyle's with her, and she's like, so what's tonight's occasion? Are we just getting together at Rachel's or. Amanda says, a psychic. And did you see the Evite? Because it's like a psychic summer or something. So, yeah, I'm really excited to see a psychic. And Kyle's like, I love a psychic at dinner. Wink, wink. And then we see Alison Dubois, who, like, in retrospect, should have been made a housewife immediately.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

I think her little electronic cigarette going, he will never emotionally fulfill. You know that.

[A]

Know that. Kyle says, I'm hoping that the psychic tonight does not have an electronic cigarette and is a positive psychic. So then we go back to Amanda's car, and Amanda's like, saying how this is an emotional week for her because Monday was her twin, her child's birthday. And so it's also the anniversary of. But today is the anniversary of when the twin passed. And so it just seems Weird to be out. But she explains that her. Her husband was like, you should be out with your friends tonight, because it'll be a good distraction from the anniversary of Zion's passing. So then we see Sutton and Erica riding together. And Kathy. Kathy shows up up at Sutton's house in curlers to get her hair done. She's gonna use Sutton's electricity while everyone else is heading to the party, and.

[B]

Sutton is driving with Erica. So it's gonna be a psychic party. I have a few things I need to get off my chest with Jennifer. So I hope that. I can see that. I hope she sees that. Erica's like, oh, God, girl.

[A]

I thought you were gonna say me. At least you don't have something going on with me.

[B]

You're gonna really talk to Jennifer about this?

[A]

That'll be good. That'll be good.

[B]

And by good, I mean exhausting. I've already. I've already dusted off a patio chair.

[A]

What the boy does this show want from me?

[B]

I've got a drive with something now. Come on.

[A]

Have you ever heard of a thing called a sponge? Yellow on one side and green on the other. And one side's rough, one side's soft, just the way I like any bad wish wreck. And Sutton's like, well, I'm going to ask some. I'm gonna ask her, truly, Jennifer Tilly, why did you say that? Yeah. And I'll just say it wasn't not. It just wasn't nice. Yeah. And I'll say. Can you explain yourself? Yeah. Are you thinking about me or the sponge again? So funny.

[B]

Erica. Erica. Just giving nothing beside. And sounds like, here's what I'm gonna do.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Well, I'm gonna go talk to Jennifer. Yeah. And then I'm gonna tell her. Yeah. I'm gonna tell her I didn't like it.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah.

[B]

He was really nice.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I'm wondering. Let me out of this car. Why am I even on this show? Erica, I think if anyone. We joke about Rachel saying, like, take a pulse. I think, Erica, like, can we check Erica's blood pressure? Is she still living? Erica's just like, whatever.

[A]

Roll me into a party, sit me.

[B]

Down, put a straw in my mouth, and I'll just drink and have a.

[A]

Good fucking time with these dumb bitches. Give me the fuck out of here.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You have a personality. Yeah. Okay. Do you, like, have, like, a favorite song? Yeah. What's it called? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, okay. So then, Erica, there's a long way to go to make an Usher joke. So Erica tells Us. Jennifer's saying that Sutton making makes everything about her somewhat true. Yes. But Sutton probably feels betrayed by Tiller. Like, you're my friend. I've already fallen out with Garcelle because I'm a stupid. But why do I need to have a falling out with you? Am I right, everyone? High five, America. Okay, I'm gonna go back to using this thing called counter spray. God, I love housemaker things.

[B]

Well, she should have come to me first. Like, listen, you have no idea who you are dealing with. You have no idea. Yeah, so then we go to Rachel's, and she's putting place cards out. Mary Elizabeth, put out the gift cards. Put them out. Me put them out. Are you going to put bags on chairs? Like, is that how we do things here? She's like, yes. Rachel Zoe slippers, Rachel Zo pajamas, Rachel Zoe fragrance, Rachel Zoe sunglasses. Oh, my God. It's like an orgy of Zoe Love it. Dead. Died.

[A]

What I love is that because Rachel Zo deals with famous people and is famous herself, no one bats an eye at the fact that she puts out a swag bag of all her stuff. But if it were, like, Dorit or anyone else that just gave everyone a whole bunch of Beverly beach, like, oh, my God, this is like a commercial or something like that. What's that? What the hell? Or like, when Jenna Lyons did it and Cy and Aaron complained about all the free shit that they got. I just love how there's a total different standard for people who are famous on these shows. Like, oh, my God, thank you so much for all your Rachel Zoe stuff.

[B]

Yeah. So then we meet Angie, the tarot card reader, and I don't know that I trust Angie because she's got, like, a new version of tarot cards. They're. They're like the artwork. I just. I don't like the artwork. I don't know what's going on with this tarot artwork, but it looks like girl power cards. You know, it's like, oh, my God, it's Monday, and I got this girl.

[A]

It's. It's definitely like. It feels like the New Yorker. It's like New Yorker tarot cards, right? Like, I'm surprised that, like, the. The various cards are not. Like, I need to talk to my therapist. So Angie's like, well, everyone. I mean, she's like, I'm. You know, sometimes, Rachel, it's okay that you lost power. There's gonna be some hiccups, and, like, you're just gonna keep adjusting, and, like, it's just gonna be More magical. That's the message I keep on getting from my cards. It'll be a magical. Oh, my God.

[B]

Really?

[A]

I like that message. What else does it say? Does it. Okay, does. Does your ma. Do you feel anything about, like, what the new Valentino line is now that he's passed Rip? No. Oh, my God.

[B]

I'm sorry. But, like, you've pulled a lot of really bright pink cards with girls with wonky facial features and blonde hair, which I got. You have not pulled one that says dash. So you're fired.

[A]

Die. Die. So then in comes Natalie, Rachel's friend. We'd heard that would be on the show, and I forgot about. And she comes in in, like, a sheer outfit that has, like. It's like, bikini bottoms underneath it or whatever. It's like, bodysuit.

[B]

Whatever.

[A]

I don't know. It's, like, a little bit more risque than these women are at a dinner party usually. And there's a reason for that, because Rachel tells us that she met Natalie through her soon to be ex husband, Simon Fuller, who we know is the. Among other things, I believe he created American Idol. I think maybe he runs Fremantle. I'm not sure about that. But he's, like, a big deal. And that's how. And she's been going through this divorce, and as a result, this is new Natalie, because she used to be more. We see a picture of her before where she was just like, you know, I'm just Natalie just sitting in the shoes.

[B]

Oh, look at me in my jogging pant jumpsuit. Okay. I'm in a jogging pant jumpsuit, green oxford. And now I'm Natalie, ex wife of Simon, full of bitches. She didn't sign a prenup.

[A]

Psychos.

[B]

But this Natalie, I'm not really sure why she's wearing this, but, girl, this is just like a dinner party with the girls. You look crazy. You look, like, literally crazy. I'm glad you feel freer. But you're also gonna. You're also gonna feel, like, in need of a, like, blanket in a minute. Cause it's gonna be cold. It's gonna be cold in five minutes. So she meets them, and Rachel's like, this is Natalie. She's getting divorced. You might have guessed that by her outfit. That's a thong. But, yeah, this is Natalie. And Erica's like, oh, well, you're clearly not boring. Look at you. Look at what you're wearing. And she goes, oh, I love a hoe dress. Natalie is given expensive ho.

[A]

Yeah. And this is where we see the before and after pictures. And Natalie's like, well, when I was getting out of the car, I was like, I'm really sorry for whoever sees my vagina. Divorce. Why are you sorry? Sorry. I think you should. I think you should show your vagina as much as you want. Octopus. So then Jennifer enters and she's got, like, this beautiful black gown with this, like, a cape. Cape seems to be in. I feel like we're seeing capes all over. Bravo. Right now, this cape that's, like diamond studded. And she's like, we are dressed like the cosmos tonight.

[B]

Jesus Christ, Jennifer. I'm gonna, like, rip those diamonds off of you. Like, amazing. Oh, my God. Oh, don't even sit, like, just stand. Twirl. Amazing. I'm done. I'm tired now. You can go away. Thank you. That was enough. Jennifer Tilly is like, oh, Walking museum of fashion. People always ask me whose closet I would take over. And I say, what's her name again? Jennifer Tilly. I'll go with Jennifer Tilly. She's here right now.

[A]

Maybe it's Jennifer Tilly. Like, never heard of her before. But, like, now I'm here. Now I like her. I get her. Now I die. Like, I die.
