We had another real Housewives double-header last night, with real Housewives of Orange county making its eight season debut before the second part of the real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion. I was anxious that the reunion need to be incredibly boring if they were hiding it behind the OC premiere instead of giving the episode its own week, which a lot of reunions have for at least one of their segments. Neither of Beverly Hills’ two parts had that leisure, and unfortunately, it was because nothing much interesting was said.
The OC premiere was a little a lot more successful, mostly because Vicky is still a stark, raving lunatic who has now inserted foreign objects into her face. a lot of of the rest of the premiere felt like a mid-season episode, which might bode poorly for the enjoyment value of the season to come. Still, let’s have a recap. هذا ما أنا هنا من أجله.
1. Vicky had a chin implant. For the love of everything holy, if I had made a list of cosmetic procedures I thought might improve Vicky’s facial appearance, a chin implant would not have been in the top 30. If I’ve learned anything from living in a neighborhood with lots of rich older women who have had odd plastic surgery, it’s that implants and injectables are bad, modest lifts are good. instead of getting a facelift, which is really all that Vicky would have needed if she was unhappy with her loose skin, she just tried to fill the loose skin with random junk.
2. Vicky broke up with Brooks. اذا انت تعرف. One good decision, one bad decision. Par for the course, nearly literally.
3. Or did she break up with Brooks? a lot more TO COME.
4. Tamra and Eddie have moved in together and did start a fitness studio. There’s trouble in paradise, though, because Eddie doesn’t want Tamra to wear her shoes on the carpet. Don’t let the man get you down, Tamra.
5. Brianna had her baby. Vicky’s now a grandma, which will no doubt inspire a half dozen a lot more ill-advised cosmetic procedures. Also, I’m pretty sure she had pipe cleaners glued to her eyelids for her interviews instead of fake lashes. Unrelated, but still worth noting.
6. Tamra and Vicky still hate each other and everyone still hates Alexis. Or at least Tamra, Gretchen and Heather hate her, which might as well be everybody. For the record, I still hate Alexis too, even though I think she looks great without all her fake hair.
7. earth Jesus thinks he’s an art connoisseur. That’s it, that’s the joke.
8. Alexis thinks that if she keeps saying she got bullied, it’ll eventually be true. Sure, the women weren’t incredibly great to her, but all the stuff they said in Costa Rica last year was stuff that someone needed to say to Alexis. She is a shallow, materialistic faux-snob who acts better than everyone else out of the transparently insecure hope that maybe, someday, people will believe her. trying to alert someone to their own bad behavior, however indelicately, is not bullying.
9. Heather put Tamra and Vicky across from each other at her dinner party. That’s a incredibly amateur hostess mistake – if two people don’t get along, you put them on the same side of the table, but with at least one person between them. maybe Heather wants someone to get forcibly drowned in her new pool, though.
10. Do we like any of these women? toward the end of the episode when they were setting up the fights for next week, it struck me that I don’t think I have much, if any, genuine affection for any individual on this cast. Vicky is a dumpster fire of a human being. Tamra is funny, but craven and mean. Gretchen’s just on the show to push her various poorly conceived product lines. Alexis has a great new haircut, and that’s the only positive thing I can say about her. If Heather says “champs” one a lot more time, I’ll hunt her down and personally throttle her. In all the other versions of this series, there are people for whom I root in spite of their faults. In the OC, I just want to enjoy the world burn.
And now for the reunion…
1. Kyle tried to gloss over the difficulties in Adrienne’s marriage but Lisa wouldn’t let her finish her story. Kyle’s been team Adrienne all season, of coure, and when Andy asked about their marriage, she started in with the normal platitudes about how she thought their bickering was charming and normal for them, but Lisa cut in and said that, actually, things have been bad for a while and Paul had moved out before. Clearly, there are future commissions to be had from Adrienne and Paul, so Kyle’s still walking the company line.
2. pretty much all of the Housewives seem to think that Adrienne’s using her personal chef to plant bad things about Paul in the press. It certainly lends credence to what Brandi and Lisa have been saying all season about Bernie’s involvement, and not even Kyle spoke up to contradict the speculation that Bernie was making false abuse allegations against Paul and that Adrienne was likely on boARD معها. لطالما كنت أصر على اعتقادي أن تايلور تعرض للإيذاء الحقيقي والمستمر من قبل راسل ، وأنا متأكد من أن بول لم يكن يفعل نفس الشيء مع أدريان. لا شيء عن علاقتهم الديناميكية يدل على أي علامات تنبيه ، وعلى عكس تايلور ، لا يوجد تاريخ طبي موثق من الإصابات أو الحوادث. إذا كانت بقية الممثلين صحيحة ، فقد يكون أدريان أسوأ شخص لدينا على الإطلاق في ربات البيوت الحقيقيات. لا يوجد سوى القليل من اتهامات سوء المعاملة الخاطئة. إنه مثل الإبلاغ الزائف عن الاغتصاب ؛ الكذب فقط يجعل الأمر أكثر صعوبة على أن يؤخذ الضحايا الحقيقيون على محمل الجد ومقاضاة مهاجميهم.
3. قد يكون كيم أو لم يكن لديه أنبوب على وسادتها. شعرت كأننا هزنا على هذا واحد – من أين أتت أنبوب؟ لماذا اعترف كيم على ما يبدو بوجود أنبوب؟ ما هي القصة حول أنبوب؟ تحدث عن دفن Lede هنا ، برافو.
4. حسنًا ، لذلك قيل بشكل سيء ، لكنني أحصل على ما كان يقوله براندي عن رزانة كايل وكيم. لا ، لا أعتقد أن كايل “يأمل” لكيم أن يفشل. أعتقد أن كايل تحاول بانتظام تذكير نفسها بأن هناك شيئًا ما قد يحدث خطأ ، لأنها استمتعت بتدمير أختها على نفسها لعقود ، وتتمكن من الحصول على آمالها في الانتعاش الناجح بنسبة 100 ٪ إلى أن تبدو مخاطرة عاطفية مروعة. لا ألوم كايل على محاولة تخفيف توقعاتها ، وأعتقد أن هذا يمكن أن يصادف كايل لا يشعر بالإعجاب بجهود كيم وربما حتى ترغب في أن تستعجل وتفشل. لا أعتقد أن هذا ما هو عليه في الواقع ، وأعتقد أن براندي كان يجب أن يفكر في الأمر أكثر صعوبة قبل أن تقول ذلك ، لكن يمكنني أن أرى من أين ستأتي المشاعر المعممة ولماذا سيتصرف كايل بهذه الطريقة.
5. لم يعد بول يكره براندي ، لكن أدريان لا يزال كذلك. لقد أزعج بول على الأقل تصوير بيان صغير عن لم الشمل ، وهو أكثر بكثير مما يمكننا قوله لزوجته السابقة ، التي تأمل على ما يبدو أن ننسى جميعًا أنها موجودة ولكن لا تزال تحصل على حذائها الفظيعة والفودكا المثيرة للاشمئزاز.
6. إن مكائد العقارات في كايل وماوريسيو شفافة بشكل متزايد. على الرغم من أن موريسيو كان يزعم أنه وكايل لم يزدوا أدريان وبول في الشراء للحصول على تقديمه عندما باعوا منزلهما ، إلا أنه لم يستطع إلا أن يتفاخر أنه عندما حصل على القائمة ، باعها في غضون أسبوعين . إقناع حقيقي هناك يا رفاق. أعني أن برافو قطع الجزء الذي قام فيه موريسيو بتوزيع بطاقة الخدمة الخاصة به على الجميع في لعبة Shoot.
