She’s also got a housekeeper. Somewhere in Romania there’s a Post Office with wanted signs taped to the walls bearing this sweet lady’s picture. I’m not suggesting that Fail kidnapped her on her own, that could never happen. She’s got a GIANT crucifix on, which means she’s a really good person you guys. It also means that she’s practical.

It’s big enough to nail herself to during the next ludicrous fight she starts.
Fail is making her maid make dinner for Ad/Paul and Kyle/Mauri. It’s Spanish/Mexican/Latin/Puerto Rican/Armenian/Czechoslovakian/Whateverthefuckthekidnappedmaidcomesupwith. She says the ethnic meal is in honor of Mauri. She even sponges down his chair so his back is wet when he sits. How…thoughtful?
Paul gives Ad shit for not eating. He’s done so much free work on her face that it’s time to move on to fat cells before she turns into the dude from Vendetta.

Everyone complements Fail on not being fall down drunk or sobbing or throwing fits or hiding in suitcases. That extra four ounces of filler she’s got in her cheeks is really adding a healthful glow. Congrats! She thanks them and passes around the collection plate. Always be afraid when you see a cross that big.
Fail says that she’s on her life’s mission spreading the news about domestic violence and she wants Paul and Mauri to walk a mile in women’s shoes to prove a point. Or something. Domestic violence is bad, m’kay? We get it. How bout you change your life’s mission to paying back the millions you swindled from innocent people? It’s not as glamorous as giggling about getting beat while overly hetero men stumble around a block in heels, but it’ll be fun for the people you ripped off.
Mauri and Paul moan and groan, as if being married to Kyle and Ad weren’t already the most emasculating experience on Earth. PS no one does creepy foreshadowing like this show. Watching everyone laugh about the abuse benefit when we know that in a few months Adrienne is going to accuse her husband of abuse is…gross. It’s gross. But can the guys make it? The walk is the same day of Portia’s party. DUNDUNDUUUUUUUUN!!!!
This is a tiny break to remind everyone that Portia’s four fucking years old, k? Let’s carry on. First, Heather from RHOC comes on with a deodorant commercial. Then Jeni from Flipping Out comes on with a deodorant commercial. How unbathed is the Bravo audience?

Never know when you’re gonna have to screw gun a chandelier.
Let’s head over to Hollywood, where the descamisados, trannies and recappers live.

Guess which one is me.

I thought the same exact thing!!!
Back to reading…
Yolanda is an idiot, repeating what Brandi said at Lisa’s party, cause she got it backwards! Brandi said that Yolanda slept with everybody in BH, not Brandi! I’m all for talking smack – but get it right! And because it can not be said enough Shut Up Taylor!!
Lisa is giving a master class in how to handle one of these bitchy housewife feuds. Shes has a legitimate gripe, unlike most of these feuds predicated on something ridiculous. Shes not acting phony, she isn’t letting it go (nor should she) but shes also not trashing Adrienne or constantly whining about how she was wronged. Shes just letting Adrienne make herself look worse and worse by constantly mentioning it, trying to play the victim while simultaneously trashing Lisa and accusing her of being childish. Other housewives should take notes.
Awesome recap! I also wonder how Taylor is affording to live in her house. Seems she’d be living somewhere more along the lines of Brandi’s house. And the back being we thing…. HILARIOUS!
I love Lisa. I think she’s so classy and above all of this. If only she weren’t on this show…
Is that the house that Russel hung (hanged?) himself in? Does Failor really still live there? If so good God woman you are twisted!
Also, I thought the same thing Flip, how WASTED was Fail at Portia’s party? Her hair was a hot mess. She’s in danger of melting from the sun too.
Its too early for me to decide one way or the other yet but, eh the infamous Bravo edit isn’t helping Ad in her smear campaign of Paul…
Brandi needs to slow her roll with the Botox. on WWHL Miss Andy showed some of her modeling pics and he called her out for not even looking like the same person.
Awesome recap…You rule the school Flipit! Thank you.
Flip….you missed an awesome screenshot op when Yoli is talking about how to make her daughter’s eyes look ‘less Chinese’ IN FRONT OF THE ASAIN MAKEUP ARTIST. Who promptly hightailled it out of there at the first mention of ‘less Chinese’. What a callous, racist thing to say. I can’t stand her
@Gypsy – Russel didn’t hang himself there, he was out of their house (although that doesn’t look like the same house she was in last year, could be me.) living in another home with a room-mate. Failor is a big mess and I cannot wait till next episode where Foster gives her a smack down!
Ad is really making herself look bad with her situation with Lisa. Of course Ad got over it. She wasn’t the one who was said to be selling stories to a tabloid after her friends. It’s always easy to say the person should get over it when you hurt the other person’s feelings.
Of course this season they want to show Paul and Ad all sweet and him defending her honor and such. I hate when they do that and we know what’s to come.
Thanks @featherhead. I couldn’t remember, they all look to be about the same style and I thought I remembered that dining room set from when she and Russel had Kyle and Maurice over for dinner last season. UGH, she is such a trainwreck I can’t help but think the worst of her.
And yes @TVDiva I saw that too. I nearly spit out my wine when she started saying “looking all Chinese” I get that she is from Europe but the lady’s well traveled. She should know what is PC, especially when she claims “there is nothing more unattractive than a drunk woman”. McSquinty fail.
The high road was like four exits ago, skank. Ya missed it! <—– this is my fav line of the recap! Glad I wasn't the only one confused & frustrated by Adrienne's logic….now back to reading.
I love when Adrienne stomps her feet and says other people are being immature. Oblivious.
Adrienne has been claiming that Paul abused her? I can’t see it. I guess that makes me part of the problem, as Taylor would say.
I can totally see Adrienne taking Paul down if he even looked at her funny. Not buying the abuse angle, at all. I can’t believe she wants Lisa to apologize to HER! Accuse your friend of selling stories to the tabloids on national television and you deserve the apology? Riiiiight…
@TVDiva I had to rewind that part cause I couldn’t believe I just saw and heard what I did. I think the Asian woman may have actually been the make up artist. I could be wrong. But, either way, that was cringe worthy. And what is up with the squinting? Can’t afford to go to America’s Best and get some glasses? Two complete pairs for only $69.95 *includes free eye exam!
Awesome recap, Flipit!
and did anyone else notice that all these BH ladies forgot to let their own kids tag along to this ‘kid party’? Brandi, Camille, Taylor, & Kim—every single one of them got outta their cars holding a gift, but they must’ve left their rugrats on the front porch, with the (probably underpaid/underappreciated)Nannie rocking away the feelings of mommy-neglect into the not-so-far away future of court appointed therapy.
I may have misheard the conversation, but I don’t think Brandi said anyone in particular had slept with everyone in town; I think she was commenting on how small the town was. Maybe that’s just me. I still think Taylor is a shrew for drunkenly repeating it to anyone who will stand still long enough.
I agree that Kyle is attempting some major reputation repair. This time last season she was Mean Girlin it up, big time.
I, too, wondered how Taylor was still in that house, immediately followed by wondering how she could afford a maid. Is she squatting, a la Kim Z?
I really think these ladies need to lay off the concealor-as-lipstick movement.
Missy Hues – Brandi and Camille have had issues with the exes about filming with the kids. I believe Kennedy was there. Kim didn’t want to come because it was her first weekend home with all of her daughters. If you bring them, you can’t sneak out as easily.
Kyle is the worst, she is LOVING that Lisa and Ade are fighting. It’s a win/win for her. If they don’t mend the friendship she can still keep sticking herself in the middle and get attention. If they DO make up she can somehow take credit for being the peace maker!
Oh and Kyle not only looks fantastic, me thinks she is seeing a shrink and on some meds. Either that or Bravo is giving her a great edit.
Kennedy was there? Hope Failor has a driver on that sqatted property she lived on. She was Schmammered!
When have we ever seen Taylor being a good mom to Kennedy?
Touche!
After re-watching the things Adrienne accused Lisa of at the reunion I would have a hard time being around her anymore myself. Kyle is nobody’s friend except her own and whomever is standing next to her. Kim actually cringes when she sees her and I think Kyle is the biggest danger to Kim’s sobriety.
Every time that idiot Taylor was walking around repeating what Brandi said JOKING AROUND…I wanted to reach thru the screen and punch her giant fat lips….did she actually gain the ten pounds in her lips? It sure looks like it. I am angry at myself for watching when I said I wouldn’t but after seeing Taylor’s behavior and Kyle’s her bff of convenience (until it’s not cool to be Taylor’s friend) I am going back to my original decision to boycott this bunch of bitches and instead read these great recaps.
Someone should wet Taylor’s lips and stick her to the wall like a suction cup so she will shut the f up.
Such a ray of sunshine you bring us Sunshine.
Does Bravo pick up the tab of the cost of the private jet?
I wondered about the jet too. These narcissist wannabe’s spent thousands to benefit walking for a charity. How shameful! Why That cost wasn’t simply donated to the cause. They could have driven, flown coach or simply opted to stay home and donated.
For fuck’s sake Flipit, I don’t understand why you accuse Taylor of being a part of her abusive/controlling (controlling being the operative word – he’d never give her power and insight into his shady dealings) legal and criminal woes. She’s the wife…she gets to clean up her dead hsband’s messes. Not. Her. Fault.
Now don’t get me wrong, as the Gasmii should be well aware I find complainers about recap hysterically funny. Dunno what it is about Taylor, though, that makes me feel for her. Oh…wait. Yes I do…she was ABUSED BY HER HUSBAND and is now making a effort to help others. She’s damn skippy got lots of snarkable things to talk about, the abuse thing just kinds hits home and I feel badly for her. Off my soapbox!
Loooove (most lol) of your recaps! Glad to have you recapping a show I watch
@TV Diva and Gypsy, Vulture covered Yolanda’s chinky-me-jap-you-long-time-me-so-gooky shtick:
In under an hour of real time, she food-shamed her daughter, asked wardrobe if she could be put in “something sexy,” asserted her own experience in the industry as justification of her overbearing dispersal of unwanted advice, and made sure the makeup artist brought down the lines on the outside of Gigi’s eyes so she “didn’t look so Chinese.” It was pretty incredible — like we were watching the Dutch section of the Lucille Bluth Parenting Olympics. Bitch won the gold!
Sunshine: “Someone should wet Taylor’s lips and stick her to the wall like a suction cup so she will shut the f up.”
- I would pay good money to see that!
AmyOops – I think Taylor is accused of being part of the shady dealings because she has been caught in lies repeatedly.
@Tecca,
The jet was extreme, I agree. Especially when they really could have driven.
However, I am glad that they didn’t just stay home and donate. If everyone did that there wouldn’t have been an event at all. The folks that didn’t phone it in and walked a mile brought attention and showed support for an important cause. The Husbands of BH’s attendance probably helped to bring more folks there and more donations, anyway. So no harm no foul.
I still do not think that Failor should be a spokesperson for abused folks at all. Men, Women or Children. She has continually showed that her own first reaction to a situation is usually a violent one. From the very begining she threatened to “Go Oklahoma” on someone. That chick has also had to be restrained so she didn’t go off on a party guest that pissed her off. I am not saying that Russell didn’t knock the crap out of her. I don’t know what happened behind closed doors. I just don’t think that a woman that has threatened to hurt another on a few occasions ON CAMERA should be a spokesperson for how to treat another without using violence.
TC, Robin
About those flowers. Classic Lisa. You know darn well that if it was any other night or day; when those gawdy things came in the front door of Villa Blanca they would go immediately out the back door and to the dumpster. Even if Lisa wasn’t there at delivery I think the staff would know better than to display that.
Adrian knows how meticulous Lisa is about the flowers at her home and at her restaurants. That is why she sent such a fugly arrangement. It was a dig. And she is telling Lisa to get over it? Heh..
Anyway, Lisa kept that arrangement there, as ugly as it was, so that everyone could see what Adrian sent her., making Adrian look petty and lacking in taste.
TC, Robin
Oh yeah, that was one passive-aggressive flower arrangement. Ad knew exactly what she was doing. It must’ve made Lisa crazy to leave them sitting there, but she knew letting people see them would make Ad look even worse than those hideous flowers, lol. Gotta love Lisa.
@sourdust All I can think to say is : “NO MORE WIRE HANGERS!”
Oh and Loose Seal…..
Sacramento is a 6 hour drive from LA. So it would have been a 12 hour drive round trip….
Paul totally wussed out on the heals! Totes would have gone with the red sparkles!!
Taylor and her clown face need to go!
Also do these ladies not look in the mirror before the head out the door? Aud’s hair looked good from the front, but it seems like she forgot to take the hair straightener and do the back of her head. Her makeup does look more natural this season…
Dinner looks “cray-zay” next week. Wonder how Taylor is going to take being shushed…
@Robin Point taken I concur TY. @thisbuggs then makes sense to fly rather than drive. TY
I would have wanted them to fly anyway. I want them to do rich people stuff. Poor people drive.
I want to post a comment on RHOA!!!! Please magically format so I can do it.
Thanks computer gods.
Classy
fixed! that recap has been nothing but drama today. the site is trying to kill it. lol.
thanks so much for reading and commenting you guys!! and amyoops, i know my taylor hate makes you nuts and appreciate you reading anyway! i feel like i get to rant enough in my recap so i’m not gonna go on a tirade here. all i will say is you should google “taylor armstrong diane diamond” and “taylor armstrong fraud” and “taylor armstrong lies” to get the story the show doesn’t give you. that woman is trouble. xo
Thanks Flipit! Keep fighting the good fight.
And based on my captcha you should stay at courtyard on the weekends.
So when does Taylor plan on doing something about domestic violence?
Heh heh. Thanks, Flipit. I actually did those Googles and was amused to find that literally every other link was “TAYLOR LIED” and then “TAYLOR VINDICATED” or some such. Too funny. Oh, and I’ll simply growl at you in my head upon reading further recaps when she is picked on…but they are, of course, “must reads”.
Thanks @Tx
Just oooone more thing about Taylor’s “violent” responses. If you believe (IF, and I do) that she was abused as child and as a wife, then the only way she knows how to cope is *with* violence. Hopefully therapy has helped her learn other ways to deal.
If Failor was abused as a child, then I am sorry for her. But there are many forms of child abuse. Taking your kid to a fun day at a birthday party and proceed to get shitfaced is one of them.
Then, on the ride home when you want to talk about how much fun you had mom keeps repeating over and over that Brandi slept with everyone in Beverly Hills..
Robin
Nobody’s perfect, especially those from broken homes. I know. Doesn’t everyone recall before all the Taylor hate the function she hosted (?) spoke at (?) where she admitted to being an abuse victim early in life?
It’s natural, I fully realize, for humans to only remember the crazy, shitty stuff someone does (and obvs the RH franchise happily perpetuates that – duh lol – it’s why we watch, right?), but the bad part is we tend to forget the GOOD. I see the good inTaylor…not everyone must agree with me lol, I’m cool with that.
There are just SO many other fucked up women on this show to pick on…and they know damn well they’re being bad
Oh, I keep forgetting to mention…didn’t everyone think it was impossibly rude and disrespectful of Lisa to trudge that llama through Kyle’s new home? I mean what the FUCK? It’s like she was saying Kyle’s house was cheap and who cared about a little llama shit and scratched floors.
I’m not always Team Kyle, but damn I hope she gets that elephant!
Flipit, you are the best!! The \What choo got wrong with Chinese people, Yoli? I have a feeling she’s not gonna like Ad for an unspecified reasonI laughed outloud so hard! The Camille IBS caption reference was brilliant! You are comic genius! Ad sucks, love Brandi and Lisa. Kyle is a snake, Yolanda-delusional and wanna-be, watching her decide the menu was painful! Love her choice of ’80′s Wolfgang Puck now found in the freezer selection. But Fail-just pure evil. After living your husband’s suicide, battling off lawsuits, creditors and raising your daughter any person with an once of moral fiber would be humbled but not this evil wench. Her inner core is coming thru loud and clear hence the ugly, nothing to do with fillers. As for Twitch, the comic relief needed as the only one with a sense of humor is Lisa.
Lisa is the only one with any class. She is funny and very pretty. Adrienne is a two face. I can’t stand her
Manly voice. Paul is going to be better off with this women.
