   Basically Kim cried REAL tears, something Failor has tried and failed at for the last 200 episodes!! But, it was nice seeing such an abused woman out and about in LV, and lap dancing for male strippers. My respect for Lisa has dropped considerably after this episode, only because she would attempt to be “friends” with that ugly fucking woman.

   Pandy invited Taylor so Lisa was just trying to make the best of it. She was getting on Lisa’s nerves acting like a psycho when the Chipmunks show started.

   While I was watching this I was feeling sorry for Flipit having to recap such a snoozefest. Until the Kimmy breakdown. And then I was thinking if anyone is in danger of being in an abusive relationship surely it’s the lady who hasn’t seen any of her friends in weeks and has dropped about twenty pounds in that time, and has a boyfriend who says “Lights out. Time for bed now.”

   I don’t know what I was expecting but I didn’t think the Chipmunks stripped down (don’t tell me they stopped at the cocksocks) and started humping sofas! And, Bravo showed it all. BRAVO! It was heartbreaking to see Kim break down like that. She was really brawling. It was snot running, can’t breathe, can’t talk bawling Flipit. She’s so lonely and her kids were giving her a hard time about it. There’s got to be a better man for her somewhere.
   That Brandi’s a wild chick. LOVE HER! And I’m so sick of Dana and her price dropping. Even these rich bitches are sick of it. Please drop her next season!

   God help me – I actually liked Kyle at the end of this episode. I don’t think it is possible to fake the concern and tears she had when confronted with Twitch. I get the impression that this is not the first guy (or friend) who Kim has gotten together with because they showed initial kindness only to turn into something ugly. I get that she is lonely and who wouldn’t be? But I also suspect that her daughters are not pissed because mom finally got a boyfriend but because the boyfriend is a controlling loser (user?).
   I was very surprised that finally Fail went out and didn’t have a public melt down. Then again, I can totally see Lisa immediately calling the men with the fancy no sleeves coat to come and pick Taylor up and get her the hell away from Pandys party. And Taylor knows it.
   Ad and Pauls relationship seems less like the Bickersons of last season and more like the Divorce McSplittsvilles. There is no affection there….I wonder what happened.
   Next weeks looks delicious…..I wonder why Kyle has to throw Taylor out of her party.

   Ok before I read past page one, did anyone else notice at the lunch that Failor and Lees had, there was the standard bottle of rose wine with Voss water…? Flash to the end of lunch Lisa ends by saying she has to wash her hair or some nonsense. Then, Failor says that’s alright I have a parent teacher conference?!?!?!?!? WTF? So you decide some wine before that would be a good idea? After you confessed you blacked out after TWO (BS!) glasses of wine a couple of nights ago? Who the hell do you think you are fooling you crazy asshole? You are the weakest link! Dumb bitch.

   Done with this show. Ridiculous. First off, what does one have to do as a housewife to be awarded with a million dollar lollipop holder? And does it hold your average Dum Dum suckers? And how do you clean it? I mean lollipops are sticky and gross. And what do you wear it with? Lollipops are for Walmart and Target outfits.

   The entire thing felt like an informercial for Vegas and the Palms. Look at how we have Playboy bunnies in the lobby. Look at our pretty suites. Look at our view. Look at our bowling alley rooms. Sorry, but when I go to Vegas, it is for cheap drinks, lots of slots and people watching. Who stays in their room long enough to bowl?
   Also, grown women do not grind on each other when they dance at a club. That crap is for shows like Jersey Shore and Girls Gone Wild. Me thinks those ladies are doing more than just dancing.

   And, really Bravo…some of us have old people visiting because it is the holidays. Next time give me a disclaimer so the mother in law is prepared for men giving their business to furniture and motorcycles.

   Now, if only Dana went to the Chippendales, she would have the perfect place to wear a necklace that costs a million dollars and is made to hold things you …

    Camille likes Brandi because she is single and likes to dance “friendly” also. Last year, everyone treated Camille like a stripper. This year, she has a co stripper to dance with. That is the cement of a true friendship, until one of them gets a serious boyfriend.

    I’ve been to Chippendales before (NYC) and I have to say it’s like a candy store, each guy is better looking then the last! I don’t care which team they play for, I was just looking! How freaking funny was Twitch’s voicemail? “Please leave your name and number after the beep, I have lost all my contacts, also, I do not check my voicemail” Um Twitch, if you lost all your contacts and want people to leave it on the voicemail, how are you going to get them if you don’t check your voicemail??? What was up with all the bandaids on Twitch’s fingers? Meth burns?? I can’t wait till next weeks episode!

    I could have lived the rest of my life perfectly happily without ever seeing Brandi’s boob sweat.

    Tyler overreacts to absofuckinglutely everything. I am certain she was an incontinent chihauhau (or however the hell you spell it – I have a pound puppy) in a former life. Or this life. Maybe that’s why Lisa has decided she likes her.

    Kim looks awful. I thought the same as @Maryedith. Not ever being able to do anything, making excuses (“my neck hurts cause I wanted to move the tables”), “losing” contacts (he probably erased them), etc. Kim is the one who is in danger of being an abuse victim here, not Failor. Look and compare, Gasmii. Look and compare.

    Fishy you fucking liar. I am done. Bravo, she is a grifter, user and abuser and you are doing nothing but enabling this behavior.

    They make prozac suckers and the sucker holders are a new accoutrement.

    Not sure if it they were mentioned here or on another site, but it is plain to see Brandi’s boobs are fake.

    We need two new casts. One with Lisa and her richy rich friends and another with Camille, Brandi and other loose c/d list women.

    You can’t self-label yourself as a power couple. Doing so just makes you look like a power sphincter plunger. If you’re a power couple, it will be apparent to all. If you have to tell people, then chances are you’re just plain folks like the rest of us. But with delusions of grandeur.

    What, exactly, is it that they’re trying to prove with having Lisa claim that she doesn’t know what a “Chipmunk” is? Like, 50 times. Is she supposed to be too klassy, or what? It was like when Kyle claimed to not know what crystal meth was. Why do they do that? It just sounds stupid and made up by the producers.

    Adrienne is really messing up the good will she had built up from last year. Even if Lisa is a raging ego maniac (which they all are!), Ad just looks petty trying to compete with her and fail at every turn. She’s like Jan Brady with the afro wig(what up, Brady Bunch Movie??). If only RuPaul would show up as her counselor and teach her to love herself and perform drag routines.

    Kim really did break my heart last night. As is typical with single moms, it sounds like she put her whole life on hold for her kids. Now they expect her to continue it. Even if Mr. Toad is wrong for her, she needs to have people support her so that if she decides she did make a mistake (which it sounds like she did), she feels like she can turn to her family without getting an I told you so. And you know Kyle is itching to say it.

    Hopefully, next week’s episode will deliver. Kyle stopping Failor in the driveway holds a lot of promise. Don’t screw us over, Miss Andy!

    What makes Kyle think aaaaaanyone would want to read a book about her, huh? Even if Bravo promised a “Free Gift Of A Case Of Cold Beer With Purchase” (though savvy marketing, no?), you couldn’t get me to buy her book…she’s one of the least interesting people on any of the Horsewives’ franchises.

    Poor Kim…sigh…

    And watching the ladies stomp around Vegas, each crew trying to be shocking and provocative, I realized the most shocking thing any of them could do, JUST ONCE, is wear a pair of comfortable, flat shoes.

    I lurve you, Flipit – the “busboy hogging the bathroom” comment had me in flashbacky hysterics of shame!

    Life is such an ironic bitch. The guys who “just want to take care of you” always turn out to be needy babies who say “What about MEEEE?” when you need to focus on something else for a minute, like your kids. It is damn hard being a single mother (I’ve been a SINGLE single mother for almost 10 years) but there’s not escape route that doesn’t turn out to be a prison. You have to grow up all by yourself.

    @Wilma Fengherdu. How can you deprive yourself like that? From the Amazon pre-release blurb, look at what you’ll miss out on!

    In the wild world of Beverly Hills, high-priced glam squads, flashy cars, and off-the-charts drama are the norm. Enter Kyle Richards: born and raised in the nation’s most dazzling neighborhood, she’s practically royalty in the 90210 zip code. And yet her loving family life, lack of pretention (no nannies, stylists, or personal chefs for this diva), and “girls’ girl” attitude make her a breath of fresh air on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

    Now, she’s revealing how she achieves that perfect mix of celebrity and normality. In this collection of the best tips, advice, and strategies she knows, Kyle’s talking friend to friend so you can create that blend of glitz and know-how in your own life.

    How pathetic was Adrienne in her jealousy of Lisa? Setting up a COMPETING EVENT in Vegas for the same weekend, with that vicious, juvenile hatred beaming from her face – geez, bit@h, get a grip! You’re an adult and supposedly a businesswoman. Act like it. Having psychotic nervous breakdowns because someone else might be a center of attention a little more than you is jus plain idiotic, not to mention, a business killer. Had she set it up for next weekend, and invited everyone, she would have seemed genuine, friendly, and a smart promoter for her casino. The way she’s done it, the casino came out looking much worse for wear in comparison to PH. Her ‘Master Suite’, with the bowling alley? Oh, please – who gives a hoot? How about get better, prettier, newer, fresher furniture, and do something about that view! (I know, easier said that done, but then again they should have thought about it when they decided to build right at that location). Compared to PH suite, which was airy, bright, fun and inviting, hers looked dirty, sticky and musty. Brrrrggghhhh.. No wonder they are bleeding money in overhead and losing visitors and getting themselves bought out of the business. That place might have been something before, though I doubt it, but now it is simply worn out and faux-nouveau-riche looking.
    She was so pissed at Lisa, and so media-attention and publicity hungry that she ended up injuring the hotel’s prospects by the simple, forced – and handily lost – PR duel with Planet Hollywood.
    Sad, having it all is easy if daddy worked of it, and losing it all is even easier when you’re a jealousy filled tinsel-weaved no smarts skank horns…

    As for Kim – I am really sorry for her troubles, but it seems like she is either directly or indirectly responsible for majority of them. Her heartbreak to Vyle about ‘the kids making me feel like I have to chose, like I’m losing them because I have a boyfriend’ made me realize that she raised a pack of spoiled brat hyenas who care nothing for their mother and her happiness. Clearly they’ve had her for ’18 years, all alone’, to themselves, and now they have to share? Oh, that sh!t ain’t gonna fly, sistah! They expect her to devote the rest of her life to them, too, in a perpetual indentured servitude, and probably expect her to be grateful to them for allowing her to take care of them! Fu@king gang of selfish, heartless monsters. I know she’s the one who raised them, so the fault lies with her, but it also explains why she’s drawn to alcohol and drugs. She’s trying to cope with this sh!t the best she can, and momma Big Kathy did not prepare her in any way to live in a real world, to understand and appreciate human emotions and idiosyncrasies. I think between the hateful kids, the loneliness, the ‘falling for the first guy who says something nice to me’ – she is exhibiting some symptoms of PTSD. (Yeah, I ROTFLMAO’ed when TrailorFailor declared herself suffering from PTSD). She is clearly not equipped to deal with normal, every day life situations, and looks and behaves more and more shell-shocked with each episode. I honestly hope that her storyline does not end in tragedy, but I can’t see Bravo giving a flying cocksock (hehe) about preventing it. I hate Kim at times, I think she is a self-obsessed has-been who can’t come to terms with not being relevant anymore, but to not be able to find support and understanding in the one quarter you should be certain about – at home – is deeply disturbing and really pathetically sad. Crap, it would drive many a person to drinking and drugs too, and she clearly is sooooo fragile emotionally, so psychologically damaged and physically exhausted that I can’t see it ending well. Truly frightening.

    @polkadot: Do you think Adrienne thought up a competing Vegas event all on her own? Or do you think someone (read: producers) might have, maybe sort of just a little bit pushed her in that direction? And in so doing, fulfilled their promise to product-place Ad’s fleabag hotel?

    Me thinks that Ad and Paul have some competition for the “Power Couple” crown from Cam and Brandi.

    It was odd that Tay could not remember what she did at Brandi’s party but had no problem remember DD actions. And, if Russel was abusive what was the reason? She did not seem afraid to wiggle on another man and sit in his lap.

    More books from Housewives?? Ick. I don’t read their books or by their stuff.

    And Kim… we don’t see her much this season but she does bring it. It was heart wrenching to watch. Isn’t Mauricio’s mom a therapist?? She needs to talk to somone who does not want something from her.

    Love Lisa and her humor.

    @polk8dot, I said that, too. The Palms was cool from 2000 – 2003. Now it’s washed up. It’s competing with nicer, newer hotels like The Cosmopolitan, The Wynn, The Pallazzo, Planet Hollywood etc. – and all these hotels are ON the strip. They really need to do something to appeal to a new market, or they might as well relocate to The Plaza downtown.

    @polk8dot – There is another option with regards to Kim. It is possible that her kids aren’t throwing a fit about it but she just perceives it that way. She is very broken emotionally and seems to have delusions elsewhere so who can say for sure what is going on. They may be saying to her that she needs to get herself clean and healthy or they are not going to see her, but she is twisting it to be something else

    Ok I was curious about this lollipop thing. I didn’t find the million dollar one, but I found there regular ones. And I sort of like them even though I don’t regularly eat lollipops! They run about $25 for the stick cover and the lollipops are $12 for a 3 pack. They have a bunch of different stick covers in different colors and styles and a couple of themes like Hello Kitty and Vegas. They also have a signature line for certain “celebs” like Britney Spears, The Pussycat Dolls etc. But here is the funny part… the only one that is on clearance is The Situation one. LOL

    I think Adrienne is not used to have a woman who makes money like she does. She has wealthy female friends but I think she looks down on them because she makes her own money. She is intimidated by Lisa because they are both on the same level.

    I don’t think Adrienne should be all that proud about making her own money. If she had started with nothing, and THEN built a fortune, maybe so. But, she inherited a lot of money, and when you have a lot of money, it’s relatively easy to make even more, unless she makes really stupid investments.

    I have a friend with four million in the bank from her dead father. The bank invests it for her, takes out a big annual fee, and she still clears much more after taxes than I gross, while her principal just keeps on growing. But she knows she flat lucked out, while Adrienne attributes her much greater fortune to hard work and smarts.

    every episode, i fall more in love with Lisa. She is the only one who is geniune and consistent no matter what situation. I think she was geniunely shocked that Ad was upset about the whole Planet Hollywood thing. Nothing she has done has proven that she is vindictive. Does she has a naughty catty side, yes! but she owns it and doesnt take herself too seriously. I like her because she shows real emotion when interacting with her kids; not like Ad and Taylor who always act like their children are an annoyance. You can tell she really hve a close relationship with her daughter. TEAM LISA!

    I was SO hoping you’d capture the shot of Fail’s mouth when she first saw the Chipmunks! She’s like a python preparing to wrap her mouth around a hippo! (Google it…there are pix.)

    I was shocked at the post-show commercial with Fail offering viewers a chance to party with her on New Year’s Eve. Whether or not she’s actually a grieving widow, it was tacky and tasteless to see her putting on her “I’ve had a great year, how about you?” party face that way.

    Does poor Giggy ever have a chance to actually walk? And can’t the VDP’s afford a dog nanny so the little guy can stay home occasionally? He looks as miserable and disinterested as Mr. VDP at being forced to be in these scenes.

    No one, even the cameraman, came to Giggy’s rescue when he had his foot caught in the leg of his PJs and was trying to get it loose. (I wonder who helps Ken when he gets caught in his PJs and can’t get untangled without help.)

    Lisa feeding Giggy on that velvet settee reveals how entitled she feels. Just assume the remaining grease stain will be forgiven by the salon owners who are thilled at having their store name flashed on the show. Said free publicity will also result in Pandy being “gifted” with any dress her mother chooses for her.

    Love the picture of the Golden Nugget slot player. Last time we were in Vegas we stayed at the Golden Nugget and that was the same weekend as the C list adult film awards. That was some wonderful people watching. Brandi would have even told those ladies to put on a bra.

    I watched this episode tonight and I had tears pouring down my face at the end. I usually couldn’t give two hoots about these gals and their poor me problems in their not so poor life.

    But Kim just got to me in this episode. She made a big mistake and she knows it and she looked so vulnerable…damn, I am gonna get misty again. Say what you will about Kyle, and I was a fan last year, this year, not so much, but she did look like she was troubled. Just not enough to offer to let her move into the “aquisition” house and get away from the “time to go to bed guy”.

    Notice that Kim made a point to say that? If we have learned anything about the Richards sister’s and their upbringing, we know that they have more than likely never been told when to go to bed, (unless you believe that book and that is another discussion).

    Poor Kim has finally raised her kids and is in a position that many single moms look forward to after the hard work is over. Free to do what ya want, when you want to, and she is being told when to go to bed..

    I do not like her boyfriend. And I think Kyle should have picked her skinny ass up and took her home with her, fed her, and pampered her for a couple few days till she could clear her mind. That’s what I would have done if it was my sis. I am not sure about these folks. They talk out of both sides of their faces, so I never trust them. It also seems to me that they don’t even trust each other. I cannot imagine not trusting my Sister.

    I LOved the very first dress that Pandy wore. She won’t pick that one though. It is too messy for diamonds and tiara’s.

    I somehow missed the lollypop incident! I even read the recap before the episode and I missed it! I think Dana is on # 14 on the “tell ay what this costs” Ay.

    Thanks flipit. Bunches of wubs…

    Robin, you ole softy! But I do know exactly what you mean. Kyle should have bundled her up and taken her back to her home. I would have done that for my sister…. hell I would have done that for a friend. Kim was clearly in serious distress. Who is to say what caused it: boyfriend/children/drugs/booze/any or all of the above. It doesn’t really matter. What mattered was that she is in need.

    Having an addict for a brother, I can you tell that yes – I would love to have taken him home, cleaned him up, fed him and made him all better. It doesn’t work that way.
    I felt for Kyle in this scene, and I think her tears were not just for this particular situation that Kim is in, but for all the ones that came before it as well. Kyle has seen this before, especially with her comments of ‘do you think you are just reacting to someone being nice to you’.
    That Kim is now in rehab and broken up with Mr Toad tells me she has hit bottom (again). Hopefully this time will be the time she stays clean and gets her life together. I sincerely hope she finds that special guy to be with, so that she is no longer alone.

    @crankguy- thanks for the Amazon excerpt, good stuff.

    Really you all should take a look at the (reported) facts. Kyle and Kim are just about the most ‘poor’ of the bunch. Really check out:

    http://www.celebrithnetworth.com

    Here’s what they’re reporting:

    Kim Richards NW $2mil
    Kyle Richards NW $20mil (up from $6 million over the summer)
    Lisa VanderPump NW $65mil
    Adrienne Maloof NW $300mil (her brothers net $1Bil, and poor Paul nets $14mil)

    I literally guffawed at the excerpt from her book:

    In the wild world of Beverly Hills, high-priced glam squads, flashy cars, and off-the-charts drama are the norm. Enter Kyle Richards: born and raised in the nation’s most dazzling neighborhood, she’s practically royalty in the 90210 zip code. And yet her loving family life, lack of pretention (no nannies, stylists, or personal chefs for this diva), and “girls’ girl” attitude make her a breath of fresh air on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

    Bitch, pleeeze. You just came upon that money, and that would make you ‘new’ money by today’s standards. I don’t care who your niece is. You’re KYLE not KATHY-Wake up! I would never buy anything to support that witches lifestyle, splits or coochie waxing or white people party clothes. She is such a phony and that’s what the book should really be about.

    As far as Lisa and Adrienne competing, I think its good old fashioned jealousy and rivalry amongst women. Lisa is not in the poor house by any stretch but, let’s face it, no one on that cast has Maloof money. Love her or hate her facts are facts.

    I am going to go there with Failor… someone mentioned above not being able to watch Fail’s face at the luncheon. I found it more disturbing than usual too. Does anything think that was a byproduct of Paul’s work or…something else??? Also, in the episodes following Camille outing Failor; has anyone else notices she now seems to be almost fully clothed at all times ( Sans Vegas?) As if to maybe appear to want to cover the alleged marks Camille said are non-existent? I find it all very disgusting but fascinating what lengths these women go to, to be on TV. I’ve lived in LA and I know that people out there by in large are eff’d in the head (which is why I left after one year) but jeez, even with editing, do they think we’re dumb and can’t see how phony this all is?

    End rant…ahhh feel much better thanks!

    Even though Adrienne was born into the money she still works for the family company. I think that many of her friends married into money, Lisa did not.

    Lisa’s husband was poor when Lisa married him? I haven’t invested any time in trying to find out, but I haven’t seen anything on the origins of the Vanderpump bankroll.

    Not sure if he was poor, but we do see Lisa at the restaurant working, she seems to take the lead on the business decisions. With the other ladies we really haven’t see that from them.

    @Classy I agree, that’s why I am saying I think Ad has a rivalry with Lisa. They live next door, they both wear the pants, the little dogs, the lavish parties, the famous friends… They both bring in bank and actually work and have hefty bank accounts, Ad’s is just 3xs the size of Lisa’s.

    Right, because why would Ad need to get Jackpot if she wasn’t jealous that Giggy was the start of the first season.

    He and Ken are still stahs with their daily matching outfits.

    So will Giggy be in the wedding? Will Pandy have to take pictures with Giggy?

    I’m of the opinion that the reason Cam’s friendployee went balistic on Failor last episode is because Cam looked at the “script” which had her going off on Fail and she had her employee be her surrogate.

    I didn’t think I was going to make it past “I’d imagine so, dahling, yes.” I can just hear her saying that exact answer to that question!

    But I’m so glad I did because as soon as I saw it I knew you’d be sure to get a pic of the Worst Taylormouth EVER! She didn’t get plastic lip surgery, she got special effects!

    Thanks @NotWithoutMyTV! for my new vocabulary word power sphincter plunger!

    I owe Ade an apology for ever suspecting her of not being trashy enough to be on Real Housewives. If The Palms needs product placement that bad how come she didn’t just give Pandy a shower?

    Maybe if Dana had a sex tape she could buy 1 of those million dollar Tootsie Pop covers like Kim Kardashian did instead of having to rent 1 to put on to go bowling.

    The Twitchmelt was way too sad for this show. Anybody that can make such an amazing voicemail recording should never feel that bad about anything. What kind of asshat tells an Icon when to go to bed anyway?

    I just saw the “Is it a Ship”? Episode with Toad and Kim, again.

    I probably watched it with a beverage in me the first time and glossed it over because this time it was very uncomfortable. She truly looked like a kid trying to defend herself to a stranger. There was absoulutely no connection between her and Toad at all. She looked like she didn’t belong there and she knew it. She seemed to be so uncomfortable. Hanging a picture should be the most comfortable thing couple’s do together.(even when he fucking puts the nail too high and I have to do it myself after I told him that I marked it with a fucking sharpie).

    They looked like two folks that just met a few hrs ago. BTW, that ugly thing looked like a sailboat to me at first. But I am not familiar with Ca. or the bridges there. Or why they were so selfish and didn’t just give it to a homeless person. There isn’t enough charity in this show considering all the rich people on it.

    I wonder if she has a habit of moving into relationships quickly and that is why Kyle said what she said about folks being nice to you. She is also an Icon dontcha know, and may like to slum a bit where her icon status will carry some weight among folk’s that don’t know any better or just want to rub elbow’s. Kyle may be familiar with this behavior and worries. Although, she IS an Icon compared to the rest of her family, I will give her that. A Night in Paris does not compare to Witch Mountain! She has forgotten that apparently and just needs to get back on the ego train the rest of her family are on. She needs a good ride right about now.

    If the rumors are true and she dropped Toad, I am happy for her. Uncomfortable is the only word that I can think of if I had to describe the two of them together. Oh, just thought of another, Zero chemestry.

    I was re-watching an old episode while eating my lunch (I had no current shows waiting *sad horns*) and I noticed that in the clip where they show the infamous Camille mentioning the abuse, Lisa is also mentioning abuse!
    Cammy: Because we don’t say that he broke your jaw or that he…
    Lisa: Threw you in the bar or he…
    Cammy: …beat you up
