REAL HOUSEWIVES OF BEVERLY HILLS RECAP
Season Three, Episode Sixteen ”The Real Housewives of Paris, Part Deux”
by Sandi Duffy
Back to the crapfest that is The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. The problem with all the Housewives shows is that they are too friggin’ long. This is my 16th post about Beverly Hills and I missed an episode or two. There used to be a lot less episodes, so it was fun and interesting. Now they drag out each franchise until it’s endless leaving the viewers bored out of their skulls.
So we are still in Paris and Yolanda and Brandi are jogging around the Seine River. I’m going to say it. I hate France. There, it’s out. I have been to Italy and Spain also and loved those countries, but I am not a fan of France.
Kyle is wearing high heels in Paris on the cobblestone streets. What a moron. You wear low heeled comfortable shoes when touring in any city, but especially one with cobblestone streets. These women and their high ridiculous heels. Ugh!
Kim is slurring her way through Paris, shopping with Ken and Lisa. There’s talk of Kim and Kyle’s relationship and I don’t care anymore. Kyle is a bitch and needs Kim to be a mess to feel better about herself. And she stole her house. And still with the ridiculous high heeled shoes. Listen, when I go away I pack slutty high heels, too, but for day time walking around I pack comfortable, fashionable flats.
OMG, I am so bored I want to hang myself. Blah, blah, blah, we all know that Kim is off and slurring her words. Now, in the words of Brandi, Shut the f–k up!
The ladies are all taking a cooking class while in Paris because that’s just what I would want to do on my vacation…cook. Ok, I actually do cook on my vacation when I hit the Jersey shore with my kids.
Big dramatic moment when Yolanda and Kyle can’t get Kim to open the door to her room. My theory is she was taking a dump. Can’t a girl poop in peace?
The ladies leave the men behind to take a cooking class. Lucky men. Then again, that means Ken has to hang out with Maurice. Poor Ken.
Kim can’t even remember who she spent the afternoon with. But it was all just a mediation mix up. You know, like Trailor not knowing where her daughter was was a communication mix-up between her mother and her nanny.
At their cooking class, the ladies are expected to chop the head off of a duck. Kim is the only one who can handle it. Then they have to peel turnips. There is no part of this that looks like fun to me…and I actually really like to cook.
Ken and Maurice take a luxury bus over to where the ladies are cooking. Maurice and Ken seem to have made up. Damn, I was hoping for a smack down.
I AM SO BORED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s five minutes later, everyone is sitting down to dinner, and I AM STILL BORED!
The fact that Brandi is so protective of Kim , even though Kim still hasn’t owned up to how horrid she was to her last season, makes me like Brandi. I know she pulls the “I am so poor” and the wronged woman card way too much, but her kindness to a woman who owes her a HUGE apology makes her a better woman than me.
There is so much to do in Paris, even if I do hate it, and all these women do is shop. I can shop anywhere. Why don’t they go to the Louvre or something?
We are now 45 minutes into this show and I am falling asleep. And if this is Kim sober, then I see very little difference between sober Kim and drunk Kim.
Oh great, Ken and Maurice are riding around on segways. Someone kill me now for watching this.
Since I am so bored, I am going to promote another show in the middle of my recap. I am obsessed with Ripper Street on BBCAmerica. It was supposed to be a miniseries and the last episode airs this Sunday, but you can purchase the DVDs. I don’t know if you can get it on Netflix yet. I heard a rumor that it was so successful in the UK that they are going to film a second season to air in 2014. It also stars three really good-looking men, Matthew MacFayden (from MI-5), Jerome Flynn (from Game of Thrones), and Adam Rothenberg (most recently as Watson‘s ex-boyfriend on Elementary).
Oh, so Lisa and Kyle discuss their “friendship” at the Eiffel Tower. Kyle is the world’s shittiest friend, that’s all that needs to be said…and she’s all jealous that Lisa and Brandi are friends. Kyle fake cries and I so sick of her fake crying. And are giant hoop earrings in again? Both Lisa and Kyle are wearing them in this episode.
I just hope that Brandi isn’t going to be another Cedric, conning Lisa and Ken.
Next week, Yolanda calls Trailor an asshole and I’m psyched.
YoFo has a chat with Shana…
Please, Please, someone tell Kyle she cant act worth a damn and if she thinks she is going to get a part in some movie or tv show she should really give it up….Sorry, but Kyle just sickens me!!!
Kyle was in a tv movie a couple of weeks ago called “Sibling Rivalry”. She played a real *itch and even tho it was type casting,she was really awful. It was made in 2011.
Ditto Sue!
Kyle is THE MOST MANIPULATIVE Witch any broom every carried. i couldn’t believe how she turned the “you’re not much of a friend” theme around from her own duplicitous behavior with Lisa by saying she feels let down that Brandi took her place. Such b.s. and Lisa fell for it. I thought Lisa was smarter than that 4th grader (Vyle). And in that corner, there was Dim-Kim turning an off hand comment into a major insult and crying her eyes out over nothing. She is SO thin-skinned and still incoherent. I can’t stand how those two has-beens monopolized a perfectly beautiful city with their own personal nonsense.
Well said Lynda. Lisa meant nothing by the remark ..Vyle and Kim ruin the show.
I think Lisa really has a good heart, that’s why she really is my favorite (she better not be caught kissing Chris Brown or let him carry her dog though!!!!)
Kyle’s fake crying is getting so old. I wish Lisa would have just slapped her across the face and said, “snap out of it”. Kim should have been passed out across the bed with a pill bottle in her hand. Maurice should have been hit by a car and flew 20 feet into the air and the segway could just keep going. Anything people, Anything!!!
Hahahaha. When I saw how close he was to the river, I actually expected Maurice to Segway into the Seine. Vyle gets a lot of mileage out of her fake crocodile tears. I, too, would have loved to see Lisa smack Vyle silly with a swift left cross into the kisser.
Do the Richards sisters EVER take responsibility for their own actions? Plus. Kyle and Mauricio need to just stop it. I’m not buying the barf worthy lovey dovey stuff for a single second.
I think kyle & morrie are gaslighting our little kimmie.
First it was Brandi being mean and now Lisa is mean for quite rightly asking the bish if she had taken a sleeping pill when she’s asking drowsy as hell and incoherent.
Do I really beleive Mauricio knew about the lock on the fence all on his own (no help from Bravo??)
Taking Giggy to the duck dinner table and once again Giggy drinks from the nice glassware like Ken let him do at Adriennes house.That dog should have stayed home like the other 2 or 3 dogs they own.
That was disgusting and vulgar. The whole show held no interest for me at all. I’m done. And if Kyle is a lousy friend, so is Lisa. She came off as a gossip and a busy body with her concern for Kim. Not buy in’ it.
I am with you on that one…..do Ken and Lisa ever wonder what other people think and or feel about a dog being at the dinner table? Yeah Ken always walking around holding Giggy in his little outfit, Ken looks like he’s Lisa servant half the time.
It’S FRANCE!!! a Dog at every table. So if anywhere in the world for Giggy to be it is FRANCE!
Can they ever have a dinner that someone is not talking about someone at the table like Lisa did to Maurice about Kim.They spend every dinner gossiping about someone in their group whether there or not.
Ya, but sadly, that is pretty much all this show is based on anymore. If we didn’t have to keep up with who says what about who, there would be nothing else to keep us awake!
I was glad to see Yolanda try to cut that conversation off, saying that it’s wrong to talk about it with Kim a few feet away. She understood the dynamics of this sick group as soon as she signed on. I love her for trying to straighten them all out, although I don’t think it could EVER be done!!
Amen. I loved our Queen of Lemons for doing that!
I am with you on that; can anyone see through the Pink Nag; Lisa wants her nose in everyone’s business. Once again, why can’t Kyle stick up for her sister; what happen to blood being thicker? Kyle sitting there concerned about her relationship with Lisa; why can’t Kyle tell Lisa “hey layoff my sister”; I wish Kim would wake up to the true loyalty Kyle gives her!
Well, we don’t see everything that goes on, so who knows if Vyle actually did tell Lisa to back off of Kim?? (although I doubt she did!)….. I didn’t like Lisa whispering in Maurice’s ear about Kim. If she’s not that close to Kyle anymore then why invest time with Kyle’s husband????????? And why waste words about Kim????? This show is beyond STOOPID.
It struck me as she was trying to find out what she did wrong or how she hurt Kim. I did like that Brandi shut her down at the table. It showed that Brandi wasn’t her puppet.
Yolanda really shut her down, and Brandi was the only one acting responsibly, for once!! I loved that Brandi was telling the WOMEN (they’re not “girls”) not to go out to the van, and just to leave the sisters alone to talk. It was very intuitive of her to know that they needed to be left alone. I doubt Bravo will include more common-sense situations, as they live for fake drama.
Lisa is too forgiving. Kyle will stab her in the back the first chance she gets. Brandi may have a foul mouth but she seems to be a very loyal and loving friend and is always there for Lisa unlike two-faced Kyle. And, personally, I am sick of having to hear about Kim’s alcoholism, this has gotten to be so redundant and depressing. Thank goodness they are getting rid of Camille and Addie now if they will just dump Shanna, Kyle and Kim and have some interesting REAL housewives, doing real Beverly Hills things it would be great. Great Recap Sandi.
Frankly, there is nobody worth saving. I’m sorry. This show is as dead as a doorknob.
Kim needs to go. this woman is not well, rehab or not, she is sick. Can’t wait until next week when Yolemons let Shana have it.
My first thought when Vile was banging on her door was that she was shoving bottles under her bed or she just stayed up late watching movies or having a Shana shit. I was just a little worried about her blood shot eyes…but I’ve never been to Paris.
So what medication is it that Kim is taking to “stay sober?” The loved one I have that is an alcoholic takes klonapin(for anxiety) and it scares the chit outa me, pisses me off at the doctor and just all round confounds me And YES it will knock em out for a while. Kim is sensitive about it because its true I imagine. Lisa should have left it alone though.
fun fact: klonapin must be spelled wrong, my spell check suggested Klondike. what would do oh oh for a ….
MP, to answer your question re Kim, I would bank she is on antidepressants, and on benzo’s aka Klonopin,Valium, Ativan,Xanax, to name a few, They are used as sedatives, hypnctics, anxietys,anticonvulsants & muscle relaxants. The mix of both imo and had a loved family member on both, is NOT a good mix at all. They are too heavy, slured speech…yet they (my family member) was slick and only took his benzo’s at cerain times,while taking the others to suit his needs.I believe Kim is not just an alocholic., she is a pill dropper as well and is abusing her meds.
I personally think Kim is on Suboxone. Which is used to treat opiate addiction. I think she is on a Benzo along with it too. It’s either that or she isn’t as sober as she says she is. Suboxone combined with a Benzo can produce slurred speech, nodding out, etc. As a 16 yr paramedic, we see this alot with Sub users. Many times with a new Sub user they still come across as being “high” or drunk. If I came across Kim in the field and she was acting the way she does on the show, I’d go with her being high on something and most likely she isn’t high on sobriety. The truth is, Kim may not have a great ending if she doesn’t stop whatever it is that she is doing.
There is a special med for alchoholics (can’t remember the name). I have a friend who was an alcoholic and she takes this med. Her speech is slurred at times, and she once fell asleep at a wedding while sitting at the table. Very, very tough addiction to live with. Feel so very sorry for Kim.
Yes I believe that’s the suboxone. Stephanie Seymour was on it too.
Kyle and Kim have major receding hairlines. Never noticed it until the preview 0:32-0:38.
And MP I wouldn’t do either Richard sister for all the klondikes or blonde dykes on earth.
Lisa is becoming an annoying bitch. She’s as shitty of a friend as Kyle was to her. I know everyone is drinking the Lisa kool-aid and all, but she’s getting on my nerves. All she does is complain about how she was wronged by Kyle for not defending her. Umm… I don’t recall Lisa defending Kyle all that much either in the last 2 seasons (before the season 2 reunion). I’m beginning to see what Kyle meant when she said Lisa is calculating and manipulative.
It takes one to know one. Vyle has been playing the same fiddle for 3 seasons. She is the most manipulative moron on the show. She and Dim-Kim say the same lines each week: Kim, “I want to explore my friendship with my sister,” (wah, wah.) While Vyle says, “I’m so worried about Kim!” (Yah, sure.) The plot line is redundant and single minded. Will Dim-Kim go off the wagon? Will Vyle keep all of her friendships in the air? And they both need to get their throats checked because they perpetually have laryngitis or worse.
Did anyone notice Byles eyelid skin hanging off her eye? I mean it was like a piece of thinly sliced meat with the piece of fat cut off hanging there…
YES!!!! When she was in that FAMILY VAAAAAAN with Kim. She forgot her eye tape.
OMG I’m so glad someone else noticed it! I thought well, she needs to fire her plastic surgeon that looks bloody horrible! LOL For someone who has money and cares so much about her appearance that looked really really bad. Makes one wonder what she looks like without her make-up!
Why does no one realize the show’s audience is tired of hearing about Kyle’s fake concern for Kim. How many times must we hear disloyal Kyle repeat the same old lines and watch her fake weeping? Kyle LOVES being the holy-then-thou sister, taking Kim’s inventory and making, constant, nasty little asides about Kim’s problems. Kim and Kyle’s relationship is booooring! Everyone, stop hitting Kim over the head with her past. She is not using alcohol now, but still taking meds. She needs to work on it with her sponsor/life coach. It’s her personal problem, not of interest to the general audience. Moving on…
Lisa and Kyle’s relationship is boring too. Kyle axed Lisa in the back, the trust is gone. Lisa now knows Kyle’s a snake and things will NEVER be the same. Moving on…
It was so funny Maurice telling Ken about the likes of Paris!, Like Ken didnt know…I was lmao at Ken’s smarty remarks…He is a gem <3
I know, Lol! MoReese even threw in an amaaaaaaaazing. I thought he finally got the hint at how lame that was, but no, he said it on the Segway. Ah geez…
God, I really despise Maurice. Between him, Slade, Crooks, Tamra’s Gayddie, don’t know who’s the worst.
Slade is the winner and Crooks a comes close second.
Correction: Ripper Street airs it’s last episode Saturday, not Sunday, on BBCAmerica.
Ripper Street is FANTASTIC!!! All the aired episodes are available for free On Demand.
I love Ripper Street, too! It’s a great show, and I’m sorry that the season is ending.
Rumor is that are will begin filming a second season in the summer to be released in 2014. The good thing about starting as a miniseries is that everything is all wrapped up and no cliffhangers. i didn’t know it was on On Demand. Good to know. I hope people watch it. Since I recap this boring crap and you all are nice enough to read it, I though I owed it to everyone to turn them onto something good. And I have an odd crush on Jerome Flynn.
I appreciate your blogging! I just had a fire a couple wks ago and it’s hard to when I want an escape from real life to watch these shows anymore. I enjoy your feedback more than anything.
I am so sorry about the fire.
So sick and tired of seeing Kyle act like she cares about her sister. You outed her on National T.V. on a VERY private matter. Why does Lisa think Kyle is going to ever stick up for her? The only person she sticks up for is Adrienne and Taylor.
Vulgar Donald trump said it best, “if someone has been disloyal to u once they will be again, get rid of them”. Learned the hard way that that is very very true.
I can’t believe I’m agreeing w/ something that Trump says, but in this case, he’s right.
Another quote (I think it’s from Maya Angelou) goes something like this: “When someone shows you who they are, believe them.”
Yes, Maya’s quote is my favorite
Words of wisdom from The Donald ring true. Vyle can’t even remember the promises she makes. She promised Lisa (in an earlier ep) that she would try to be a better friend. Then in Paris, she picks a fight with Lisa and makes Lisa beg for forgiveness. How dumb is that?! When Vyle watches herself talking smack about everyone behind their backs, how can she still defend her behavior?
Did anyone catch Kim’s thank you to “Morris” for the handbag he bought her? I was pretty sure she said Morris and not Maurice (like she did in Hawaii). I hate to see Kim loaded (whatever the substance) but boy she sure does have a way of telling the truth when she is.
ink: Kim has called Mauricio both “Morris” and “Maurice” on previous RHOBH episodes. Kim calling him “Morris” on this most recent episode was not the first! TFC! SH
Good to know! Thanks.
I actually once loved this show, but I tried taping it last night and could not watch Miss Andy on WWHL, the reunion of Vanderpump Rules, or the housewives. With the exception of Brandi and Lisa, I find them all incredibly boring and just gave up trying to watch. I’m not a fan at all anymore, but I do like reading the recaps. Also, I can’t stand even looking at Nene or Kandi on the Atlanta bunch, so I don’t even bother taping that one. I’m finding that Criminal Minds is actually a great show, so I’m completely done with you now, Miss Andy.
Kyle wears ridiculous heels because you’d only see her forehead on screen otherwise. Did anybody notice how unusually short most of the cast looked in street shots this episode? The hired French film crew obviously never got the memo that back in LA the shooting crew do their best to make them look less height challenged.
