After popping a couple of aspirin to settle the headache I obtained while laughing my ass off at tonight’s The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, I can finally discuss the smackdown that just transpired before our eyes.
So after three appearances, we can pretty much sum up Dana and Brandi’s position amongst the women in two words: kinda pathetic.
Let’s discuss Dana first and save Brandi for the main feast. Bravo surely made Dana look seriously low-key and laid back in her bio and initial interview clips on the official Real Housewives of Beverly Hills website. Her onscreen appearance on the show, however, have painted a different picture, one that the Twitter-verse has officially dubbed as “tacky.” Seriously, telling people the price of your clothes or who designed them every time you get the chance is a surefire way to make yourself aversive as hell. Especially in Beverly Hills.
While Dana toned down her need to spend money with her mouth tonight, I still didn’t dig how much she clutched on to the Richards Sisters like a vicious leech. It was blatant overkill on her part and a sad need to belong with the mean girls. Wonder how Dana will react when the pack turns on her? Or when she sees the slick comments they make about her behind her back?
Now let’s head on over to poor Brandi Glanville, who got served deftly by Kim and Kyle Richards as if they were in a WWE tag team match. You can subscribe to two different camps when it comes to who was in the wrong and who was in the right, but in my view Brandi was both right and wrong in how she handled the situation. Instead of holding her tongue and letting Kim and Kyle make a fool out of themselves, Brandi thought it was wise to attack her attackers by using a grenade she had no business throwing, which eventually blew up in her own face. Even Camille, who has experience in the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills argument field, tried to warn Brandi to pick her battles wisely with the women and not make any waves, especially being a newbie and all. The one piece of great advice Camille throws out to someone and it falls on deaf ears. Such a shame, because Kyle and Kim ran circles around Brandi once she opted to go toe to toe with the sisters.
Were the Richards Sisters in the wrong? Of course, they were. I mean, Kim took Brandi’s crutches and hid them before Brandi went in on them for Christ sakes! However, Brandi should have taken the high road and acted classier than her attackers. Taking that path might have gotten Brandi some sympathy, but it seems like she has further dug herself into a hole, which she needs to stop digging if she wants to get out of it.
As for Kim’s “is she or isn’t she?” drunk charade that has gone on for a few episodes, I don’t know. After tonight, though, do we really care enough to keep playing this game?
Now for the dessert of the night, which was Pandora and Jason’s engagement and how it took Lisa’s breath away. The reaction was the most tender thing to have ever come from the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills thus far. It’s a nice little bit of fresh air for our favorite British Housewife (sorry Cat of RHODC), who is about to endure hell in the coming weeks due to the growing dissent between her and Taylor. Again, I wonder if we will see Pandora’s wedding this season at all?
So what was your take on tonight’s Real Housewives of Beverly Hills? Are you officially Team Brandi or Team Richards?
Brandi is the new girl.. She should have laid back, got to know the girls and not be so in your face. Regardless if Kim was messed up or not.. It wasn't her place to bring up. Yes you can have an opinion and be yourself but you also need to know when to tone it down. She was offensive from the minute she was on the screen. No wonder why she's divorced.. She is an absolute mean person with no filter. I understand the Richardson sisters were not nice but come on.. Look how Brandi presented herself from day one. Also how she handled her son peeing in a friends yard to using vulgar language at a kids party and then making those crazy comments about someones husband cheating and then assuming everyone thinks she's a major slut. What do you expect Brandi ??? You are not going make friends acting like a psycho.. You really are a pitiful person who is still bitter because of your divorce.. Get over it..You are an adult with young kids and that's how you act??? Also .. Even if you thought someone was "messed up" it's not your place to being it up since you don't know them and especially the situation. ITS OUT OF LINE.. Grow up and get some common sense..
team BRANDI. kyle tries to use any and every excuse to attack brandi derived out of pure envy. its actually quite pathetic. Her and her crackhead sister need to calm down and relax. They definitely should not be making fun of people when they are both total jokes themselves.
I disagree. I was a fan of Kyle last season, but this season she is coming off as completely jealous, spiteful and like you said… mean. Brandi has some crassness about her, but I truly appreciated how she stood up for herself even though she had no true friends. I don't think Kim and Kyle handled Brandi. Anytime you lead a sentence with " You are so not worth my time." Then that means you have no comeback and are backing down. Next Monday will be telling. Dayna is really sad and very desperate. These women act like they are 16 years old.
Gimme a break. The Richards sisters (especially Kyle) don't know Brandi either. Kyle was giving her the evil eye from day one (which was at her charity). If Kyle had such a problem with Brandi and her mannerisms, she should have politely taken her aside, spoke to her privately and not make it an open forum. That's what a real lady does. Kudos to Brandi for sticking up for herself. If anybody acted like a "white trash", it was Kim (boy was she the epitome that evening!!) and Kyle cuz they weren't exaclty at a loss for words either. Are you frickin' kidding me? And what was that when Kyle and her little hens were acting like a bunch of mean spirited school girls talkin' about Brandi behind her back at the benefit. You fail to mention that in your argument.
The sister team tag match was just pathetic. Felt so bad for Brandi sitting there N enduring their crass behavior. That kim is one UGLY spiteful person. hope the show drops her. also. whats with the other "ladies?" sitting there and letting someone be treated like that.
