Spoilers for most recent Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Last week’s Real Housewives of Beverly Hills wasn’t as dramatic as The “Dinner Party from Hell” with the alcoholic phony psychic, but it was still filled with superficial moments and all that cattiness we’ve come to enjoy. The major news was that Camille and Kyle seemed to make up after all their petty issues with each other, but given what a whack job Camille is I’m sure that won’t last. Taylor and Kim also made up on a mani-pedi trip, with Kim assuming that everything was fine and Tyler narrating that Kim was a strange duck and that she didn’t really understand her. Here’s a recap with some of my favorite quotes:
Adrienne when her husband asked her if she did anything when Camille and Kyle were fighting:
“What was I supposed to do, put em in time out?”
Kim skips Lisa’s fundraiser after fight with Taylor, says she shouldn’t have said those things about her lips.
Lisa’s fundraiser for burn victims
Lisa said she’s upset Camille didn’t come to the fundraiser. “It’s going over the same thing again and again.”
Adrienne: “It’s a very ridiculous issue that’s the problem. It’s not about family it’s not about friends
Lisa: “I know it’s irrelevant now.”
Taylor: “People like the woman we’re here to support today, have real problems that make this look absolutely ridiculous.”
Kyle receives a text from Camille while she’s at the fundraiser
Camille’s text reads: “We will no longer be working with your husband, thank you very much.” Kyle cries and puts on her sunglasses.
Camille narrates that she can’t be Kyle’s target! Camille goes on a motorcycle ride with her boy toy, narrates “I believe that Allison was standing up for me… I have no interest in making amends with Kyle. There’s no point, it’s just a waste of my time.”
Kyle goes to lunch with her husband to break the news about Camille
Mauricio looks pained when she tells him that Camille says they won’t work with him. He says “The only thing I can do is just regain Kelsey and Camille’s trust… it’s so unlike you to act like that, to have those fights with people. I have clients and I need to protect them, so I don’t want to lose my clients.”
Mauricio later narrates “I think that’s just a childish reason to not want to do business with somebody. So I don’t know how I could be angry at somebody who wants to do a childish decision.”
Kim and Tayler get mani-pedis
Kim asks “Am I a last minute invitiation because you were debating whether to invite me?”
Taylor is all “yes.”
Kim says to Taylor “I think what happens with you and I is that when everybody is fighting, you and I don’t do well with it. So it’s like you go there and I go there because the situation is so uncomfortable.”
Taylor: “But I’m really hoping it’s behind all of us.”
Kim: “Then again, where would the fun be?”
Camille and Adrienne go to lunch
Camille tells Adrienne “Taylor’s party I’m so excited… This will be the first time I see Kyle. I don’t think it’s appropriate for somebody to come into my house and then verbally assault me that way. It just kind of threw me for a loop, I didn’t expect it. I think it was just two different personalities. I think she doesn’t understand me.”
Adrienne rolls her eyes. “It’s just a response to things that have happened over a period of time. Do you think?”
Camille: “Why do I have to be the target?… She’s almost like a child that you’ve got to smack on the hand and say ‘no, it’s time to grow up now Kyle.'”
Adrienne: “You almost want to put you both in time out at that point.”
Camille: “The way she verbally lashes out is kind of immature, I think.”
Adrienne narrates: “I would hope that Camille would make more of an effort toward Kyle to kind of make amends and bury the hatchet.”
Taylor throws a 20s themed party
Taylor: “if you want to keep pace in Beverly hills you have to throw parties that people will talk about.”
Taylors husband doesn’t even bother to dress up, and just throws a hat on and says he looks “gangster.” Taylor is all decked out and all of the other husbands made an effort. Lisa’s gay BFF, Cedric, even dressed in drag.
Mauricio tries to charm Camille by telling her about his accessories. “The roaring 20s I just love the era. This keychain is my grandfather’s… from 1922. My other grandfather gave me this. I think this is from ’29 or ’30.”
Kyle tries to talk to Camille and approaches her. Introduces her to Justin, her personal assistant. She fusses over his outfit. He says “The ladysitter had to step it out.” Camille gives Kyle a hug, narrates later “I always take the high road… that’s my motto here.”
Kyle to Camille: “I swear to God, everytime I see you… I always think ‘I love you, you’re so sweet,’ and I don’t know what happened.”
Camille: “And then we get into it.”
Kyle: “I’m serious… some people have a connection… I don’t know what it is, because every time I feel like that and I don’t know what happens.”
Camille: “We get close and then something happens and then.”
Kyle: “I know.”
Kyle narrates “They way we spoke to each other and the things that were said, I think that we’re both trying to put this behind us and move on.”
Kyle to Camille “I know I’ve said this to you before that eventually you’ll get to know me and understand.”
Camille “I guess I don’t understand it.”
Taylor brings the bodyguard to make sure everything is ok.
Kyle to Camille: “If we were being set up, we would never go on a date again.”
Camille: “I know.”
Kyle: “But since we’re not on a date we can give it another shot”
Camille: “Absolutely. I would love to start, even from this night on, I want to put it all behind us.”
They hug.
Lisa narrates: “I wouldn’t put my money on it. I don’t think there’s a smooth road ahead.”
[Recap from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, aired 12-23-10]
My impressions are that it’s the same-old, same old from Camille. She accuses Kyle of targeting her and attacking her, when it’s crystal clear that’s exactly what she’s doing to Kyle, while Kyle is naturally defending herself. It’s like Camille has been planning this for weeks too, because she made cracks about Kyle’s husband in an episode that aired over a month ago. Camille said to her sycophants back then “[Kyle’s] husband is a realtor. That’s done… My husband is higher on the list, he’s an A list celebrity. There’s a big difference between that and the local Beverly Hills realtor… I don’t think my husband and I can do business with them, knowing what his wife has done to me.” Well we know just how much influence Camille has over her husband and that Kyle has absolutely nothing to worry about.
In other news about the RHOBH castmembers, there was a fight last week between one of Lisa’s friends, NBC Los Angeles reporter Robert Kovacik, and a drunk guy at a bar who accosted her. Lisa and her husband were talking to Kovacik when a guy came up to her and told her she looked worse in person or something. Kovacik told him to get lost, and the drunk guy punched him in the face. I guess this goes to show that it doesn’t matter how classy you are, being on a Real Housewives show will drag your ass down.
