This episode is titled “The Art of War”, so I already know I’m gonna love it. I bought that book off the cheap ass rack at Barnnoblebees just in case some mofos ever tried to stomp me. If you invite someone over and they see “The Art of War” on your bookshelf, they’ll know not to fuck with you. Also on my bookshelf: a candy wrapper and a five day old Starbucks cup. Are you threatened yet?
The book was written by Sun-Tzu, and the only Sun I’ve ever seen is Sun from Lost, so that’s who I picture speaking as I read.

Know your enemy and know yourself and you can fight a hundred battles without disaster.
Thank you, wise Sun. We open with a catchup of last week. “You said it!” “You’re a fucking liar!” “WAH!” “WAH!” I’d like to think that if I had a husband, he would pass through the living room right now and say “sounds like a hen house, get a JOB.” Camille gets the last word, with her senseless “the one who stays in control wins.” Unless the one who loses control breaks a beer bottle and slices your ass with it. Stupid Camille.
We pick up where we left off last week, at the dinner the night before Frasier’s BIGBROADWAYDEBUUUUUT! Kyle doesn’t really know wtf to say at this point, so she just says she’s confused. Camille puts on her “I’m honestly sorry that you’re a bitch” face and whines that Kyle called her insecure. I’m just wondering why you would saaaaayyyy thaaaaat???I don’t know, Camille. Maybe because you’re a fucking stripper with fake tits so giant you can barely do the tree pose without putting a crack in your spine just so men will give you validation by staring at said giant fake tits since you can’t hold a fucking conversation that doesn’t involve the word “Frasier” long enough to make any real friends. Fucking moron.

I’m so sooooorrrryyy you’re an aaaaasssshooooooole.
Lisa’s face pretty much sums up what everyone watching this mess must be thinking right now:

That’s the first time the space between her eyebrows has crinkled up in over a decade. DAMN YOU, CAMILLE! I hope you’re happy!
Meanwhile, Camille’s acting like everyone’s gathered round to play Balderdash.

Yay big wooooords!
Lisa, like everyone else, thought the drama was over after the girls hashed it out up in the hotel room and Cam was left alone with Taylor, but that truce is dead now. Camille has decided to dredge up the “why would anyone want you in Hawaii without Frasier” lie. At first, this tactic seems insane. Why would Camille want to look like such a psycho on national TV? But consider what she would have to talk about it she weren’t backing herself into a corner and giggling like a loon while lashing out and taking jabs. What if someone brought up the war? Or the economy? Or books? You could ask Camille “what’s the square root of 25?” right now and she’d answer. “You said it. I remember.”
Kyle denies and Camille just makes that “aw you have a coooold, let me call one of the naaaannies to get you awaaaay from me” face and says sorry over and over. Then Kyle calls her a fuckin liar. Wait. I thought that happened last week. We’ve seen the clip so many damn times it feels like we’re already in season 2. The rest of the girls, though, are hearing it for the first time, so they’re mortified that Kyle would be so unladylike.

I hope the paparazzi didn’t hear that! My image! I’M AN ICON! WE DON’T CONDONE THE F WORD!
Taylor is shocked too, I think. I can’t tell. She looks like something someone just caught and is about to gut and turn into dinner.

Damn those neon marshmallows! I fall for them every time!
If Kyle never said it, and Camille doesn’t liiiiiiie!, then that must mean….Camille’s a lunatic. Dingdingding! Kyle says she’s hallucinating things and she’s worried about Camille. LOL. Camille doesn’t seem to know how to fight that one, but the very tippy top of her forehead is coming unstapled.

Camille pauses, whips out a little pink stapler for her shoddy forehead work, and then taunts Kyle with “you’re the one who keeps saying bad things about me! Go on!” Kyle doesn’t. CAN I?? Wait a second! Kim was there during this conversation! She WAS? HELLO? Couldn’t that have solved this like eight episodes ago? Kim is frozen when she is called to battle. Well, not frozen. It’s physically impossible for her to be frozen. She’s twitching like a corn kernel on a furnace lid.

Have I mentioned that I saw Jodie Foster at the skating rink once? I told her I liked her ribbons. Does that make me gay? I’m glad we’re spending time together you guys. AH! BEES!
Kim refuses to say anything except “I get nervous.” Me too. For you. WTF is wrong with her? Privately to us, she says that Kyle never said that. Duh. Then say something! Who cares if Camille gets mad at you? She’s already cast Patricia Arquette’s kids in Medium, which has been cancelled (I’m inconsolable about this, btw), so it’s not like she has any roles for you. She probably doesn’t even know your name. Slap her down! She just stays quiet at the table, which makes me wonder why the hell she’s even here. Do something.
Lisa jumps in and asks what the “insecure” part of the story is all about since she wasn’t around for that part. Camille asks the table if anyone there has called her insecure. Taylor says that she did, but only because Kim asked her if Camille was insecure. So now Camille accuses everyone of talking behind her back and tells us that Taylor told her about it. HAHAHAH stupid Taylor. Why did the fucking cameras leave that hotel room? Heads better be rolling at that network. Second big thing they’ve missed.
“Did you have a good plane ride over here?”, Camille asks accusingly. Lisa looks at her like she’s an idiot and shrugs “yeah”. Camille laughs like she just saw Frash naked for the first time, and tells us that Lisa was goading Taylor into trash talking her on the plane and “the whole thing was very Machiavellic”. HAHAHAHAH. Playing Scrabble with Camille must be a nightmare. “It IS a woooord. It iiiiiiis. I’m not a liiiiiiiaaaar!! Why are you calling me a liiiiiiiar??!?”
Lisa wants to know why Camille is asking about their flight, and then there’s a big long pause as Camille and Taylor gulp their martinis. Camille can’t think of any more words to brutalize, so she gets up and leaves, telling us that she doesn’t need any more abuse from these women. Un. REAL. Kyle looks at her like she’d look at a Ross Dress For less.

EW
There is silence at the table while everyone tries to string together in their heads what that fight was even about. Kim breaks the silence with “Taylor, you were the one who said that.” Taylor looks at her like she’s gonna stab her, which just makes Kim laugh. “I’m serious.” We’re shown a clip of Taylor saying Camille feels insignificant and a clip of Kim saying she probably feels insecure. Neither of them were being mean, but it’s fun to watch their shitty memories get the best of them, because now they are convinced someone must have been mean to Camille and someone has to pay!
Taylor is instapissed, telling Kim to stop trying to drag her into it, she wasn’t even there for that fight, and she’ll take Kim out back and pull some Oklahoma out on her ass. I’m rubber (literally) and you’re glue. Is that a threat? What the fuck is scary about Oklahoma? First off, Taylor’s talking about the mystery fight, Kim’s talking about the airport, and Camille’s off fucking a valet. This show has insecurity, delusion, and Machiavellic down but it’s lacking SENSE. I feel like I’m watching Telemundo right now. I’m laughing and pointing, but I can’t understand what anyone’s saying.
Kim’s comeback? “Yeah…well, don’t piss me off!” Taylor rolls her eyes and tells her to bring it. Then Kim rolls her head and snaps her fingers and Taylor does an Arsenio “wootwoot” and Kim sticks out her tongue and Taylor gets a straw and blows a spit wad at her. Kyle tells Kim to cut the shit so they can eat. HAHA. I know. It was such a pleasant night until Kim started up. Taylor talks all big, but she’s rubbing under her jaw to see if her skin is healed enough to get another wattle transplant for her nerves.

Taylor is pissed, Kim’s having fun for the first time of the season, and Kyle is crying. “This is heinous.” I like Kyle. Even though she looks fucking gorgeous even when she cries and I should hate her.

Someone’s crying, so the rules are you have to stop the fight. Taylor gets her say anyway though, with her mug. She keeps telling Kim off by pulling more faces than I knew she was capable of making. It’s hilarious.

Kyle cries more, cuz she feels like Camille made her look stupid and she has no way to fight someone who just plain lies. Kim tells her it’s partly her fault for being to abrasive and finger pointy and she’s kinda right, but this isn’t really the time. Let’s switch to appropriate dinner conversation please. The Dr Oz Poop episode of Oprah! That one always gets the chatter flowing.
If Lisa was closer to Kim, Kim would have gotten her ear pulled. She tells her not to attack Kyle for defending herself, and Kyle licks her wounds a bit and thanks Kim for all the help she gave her in that argument when she could have shut Camille down in under a sentence. Kim sees one of the bushes move and thinks the paps are after a good shot.

Lisa harumphs and says it’s not worth getting worked up over it. Well now she has a fight with Kim to get worked up over, but thanks for the late ass advice, Vandy. Kyle pouts about Kim not standing up for her, and Kim says “you need to stay in your place, Kyle.” Wow. I thought Kyle was the abrasive abusive one in this relationship. There’s a twist! You can’t have two Bette Davises or they’ll both be bloody stumps by the end of the season. You two pick a Joan and then stick to your goddamn roles.
Lisa is pissed that Kim was the only one who heard this alleged conversation and refused to stick up for her sister, and she just wants to leave stupid Kim at the table. Kyle cries “you’re not being my sister right now!” and Kim says “you don’t have mine either!” Um….you’re responding to a different sentence from a different fight. They need a secretary on this show to remind these dumbasses what argument they’re in.
Let’s check in with Adrienne. I would feel sorry for her because she can’t be on that trip due to the death of her uncle, but A. that trip sucks ass and B. I can’t feel sorry for people who display child porn in their homes.

Something tells me this house was forced to be built two thousand feet away from a school or a playground.
Her hubby, Paul, tries to figure out how to clasp the back of her dress. “You’re a surgeon and you can’t do it?” I know. I can only imagine what kind of wrecks a surgeon with hands like that would send out.

Paul fixes her dress, futzes with her hair, and generally makes her insane. Love him. Time for the funeral! Paul is taking forever to get out of the house, Ad’s screaming at her monster children to get in the car, and someone’s dead. This storyline? Pure fun. The best part is watching Paul turn the dimmer up and down and up and down, trying to figure out how to turn it off. I’m kinda sad when this scene ends. At least we got to see the lights turn off.
The next morning, Kyle tells Lisa that she can’t sleep and Lisa says “I feel like I’ve been shagged through a hedge backwards.” HAHAHAHAH. Kyle cracks up and asks doesn’t shagged mean fucking? Lisa’s like “NOW you can understand me?” Kyle knows she’s probably not welcome at the premiere tonight. Lisa asks if they can just let the fight go. Kyle’s like um no let’s buy stuff.
They head over to the designer who was hired to make Lisa’s premiere dress. Good Lord. You DON’T wanna show up overdressed to a drag show. Tourists will be asking for your autograph, and everyone knows tourists smell and have airborne diseases. And who has a dress designed to go see someone else’s husband in a show? Go to TJ Maxx and give Leech the extra cash for eyes that close.

Lisa does a really great job keeping her body looking hot. The dress is pretty tacky, but she knows how to wear it. She looks like the sweetest retired hooker of all time.

Kyle picks something out too, and hers looks great also. Both outfits look like they are straight from a Forever 21, as is the older lady style these days, but they cost more than Camille’s children so I approve.

Stop picking those scabs or they’ll never heal.
Kyle likes the outfit so much that she decides she’ll try to go to the show after all. She calls up Camille, but is left leaving a long semi grovelly message. She says she’s not a fighter, but we’ve all seen the previews with her jumping all COPS style on Kim, so I’m not buying it. I am firmly behind Kyle because of the promise that she can cut a bitch. Deliver, Bravo!
Over in BH, Ken is taking care of the gayest trio of dogs I’ve ever seen as Lisa tells us what a rascal he was back in the day.

Youah mummy loves you. Let’s rave.
We get the retelling of his life mashed up with Warren Beatty’s as he rescues a Adrienne from the pool and takes it to the gayest section of a backyard I’ve ever seen.

Wait heah by the penis trees. Mummy loves you.
On his way back in to ask his maid for a sandwich, he passes a statue that I can’t quite make out. I am guessing it’s of two dudes banging, if it follows the theme.


I was hoping I’d get some time to talk about my uncle, but whatever.
Old guys with clothes that match their tiny dogs’ not your thing? Let’s get back to NY and check out the bs Camille’s spinning to get her out of Frasier’s giant, hairy shadow. “After being attacked by my ‘so called’ friends” (bitch can’t even properly air quote a sentence), Camille decides for some quality time with real friends. And by that, I mean people she pays to be around her.
Her stylist queen is going on about how hard it was getting gay bashed in Kentucky. You know what would be hard? NOT gay bashing you in Kentucky. I mean listen to yourself. You don’t leave people much of an option.

Gay bashing is haaaard. On meeeeeeeee! It’s so haaard liiiiistening to this stooooory!
Who attacked Camille? Did I miss that part? She’s so full of shit. It’s hard for me to even press play again. She’s giving me IBS. Is that contagious through TV waves? If I have a butt that doesn’t work after this recap I’m suing. Hair Queen finishes his “I came through it cuz I’m a survivor, and so are you, girl!” monologue. Yeah, Camille’s had it really rough. She lived off men as a poor person and now lives off men as a rich person. Definitely comparable to being chased through Kentucky by big hairy unbathed drunk guys with baseball bats and chains on the back of their pickups to drag your fauxhawked ass through the state by your man scarf.
He’s done with the Lifetime portion of his appearance, so he starts giggling and asking about the trouble she got into. Hairdresser Chick immediately defends Cam, saying that ever since she’s known her girls just don’t like her. It must be because they’re jealous! That’s what my mom used to say when I got beat up in school instead of just saying flat out “You carry your books like a girl and you always smell like peanut butter. If you want people to stop beating you up, get a backpack and wash your hands.”
Hair Queen giggles and agrees, of course. Camille is so beautiful! She’s so rich! She’s so….can’t come up with anything else. She says that Kyle must have a crush on her because she said such hateful things and her husband is their realtor but “we’ll see how long that lasts!” Yeah I’m sure he’s gonna be real upset he won’t be able to find you a studio apartment to your liking once Frasier impregnates a Virgin employee and kicks your ass out on the street. The only problem with using other people’s money as a weapon is that the other person might wake up one day and realize you’re a piece of trash who conned him into marriage while he was drunk. If you need a weapon, get a taser. They’re cheaper, easier, and you don’t have hair in your bed when you’re done with them.
She plays Kyle’s message for the paid sycophants, who oooh and ahhhh and talk about what an evil move it was to call and apologize. These people are even more disgusting than Camille. Well done!

The girls get together for brunch. I guess the library was closed. Everyone (but Camille) sits around giving awkward looks. Kim announces that yesterday was her mom’s birthday, and since she has started a jewelry line in her mom’s memory she’d like to present Kyle with a piece of her collection. That’s about as close to “I’m sorry” as anyone’s gonna get this episode, so let’s all hug. Wait. No?
Kim has brought everyone a piece, and Taylor says that it was probably meant as a peace offering and she didn’t even bother to say I’m sorry. Give it up, girl. You’re married to RUSSELL. I’m sure you’ve been through this lots of time. You have no problem wearing those Scottsdale earrings.

Besides, who owes whom an apology here? You’re the one who stayed in the hotel room to talk shit with Camille, which caused this whole mess in the first place. I’m sorry. Logic. I take it all back. Taylor’s a good person. She’s wearing a cross.
Kim asks Kyle if they’re ok, but Kyle is still cold. Dead Mom Card wasted. But at least you got to plug your jewelry line. Kyle doesn’t wanna go to the show because it will be awkward, but everyone’s pretty much sick of hearing about it, so she moves on to why Kim didn’t defend her last night. Kim says the fighting made her uncomfortable, but I suspect the truth is that the longer everyone’s focused on Camille and Kyle the less time they have to try and stick quarters into Kim’s mouth like a shaky dryer that needs more time.
Kim doesn’t wanna go to the show either! Dramatic drum hit! The drum quiets down and Kyle rolls her eyes. Lisa tells them to stop being five and show the fuck up to the show and congratulate Camille for being alive while Frasier worked so hard on his performance thousands of miles away. Kyle tells Kim that she missed her chance to stand by her last night so stfu. She can’t hit Camille, but she can and will hit Kim.

I should have done a better job glue gunning that bracelet together.
The girls go back to the hotel to get ready for the night and Taylor calls Adrienne to let her know she loves her on this very sad dead uncle day dish some dirt. She says that Ad would have been able to set things right and stop the fight. Ad is listening to this message back home, and I love Paul even more when he laughs openly at the part where Taylor says “anyway, don’t worry about this today.” LOL. Ad is mad that Paul went out with the other husbands instead of going with her to her mom’s house. Well, if it’s any consolation, he ended up having to listen to Ken cry all night about Lisa being gone. You both got screwed.
Ad says he wasn’t there for her, and he argues and argues and then finally learns how to stop it. Not with jewels, not with threats, not with guilt. Get ready: “I’M SORRY”. Every conflict in the world could be solved like this. Paul for President of Something! They kiss and make up and are generally cute. I hope one of them cheats soon, cuz happiness doesn’t really have a place on my TV. Maybe he’ll turn out to be into fat lady feet or we’ll find out Adrienne is really Dolph Lundgren or something.


Russell is alone with Kennedy and the new dog for the first time ever. He’s so eerily calm. We make fun of him for cheating, but he’s probably calm and secretive cuz he’s a serial killer or something. Picture him in a plaid shirt sitting in his rig outside a truckstop in the middle of the night waiting for something. You could see it, couldn’t you? So could I. So. CREEPY. Kennedy is being a terror, as usual. It would be harder watching kids act like horror shows with their parents if said parents didn’t so richly deserve it. At this point, I’m on Kennedy’s side. If I was her nanny I would leave a pack of matches under her pillow and pop some popcorn.


Kennedy and her friends.
And now, since you’ve been soooooo patient, there’s a surprise! Open up that package. It’s a boner! Do you like it? You’re totally welcome. Merry X!

Even knowing that there are men like this in the world makes me want to be a better person. Or, more specifically, Kyle. I think that’s called an unrealistic goal, but it’s an easier one to live with than actually trying to become a better person. I’ll just be bitter that I’m not Kyle and go on with my day, k? I’m sure stuff happened in this scene, but I can’t for the life of me remember what it was.
I have to take a moment to give the men on this show credit. They try. Even Russell’s heating something up. He offers Kennedy pizza, but she wants soap. “Soup?” No, you heard right. Soap. I’d give it to her. Which is yet another reason I don’t have children.
Cut to Mauricio and the kids having fun splashing around their pool and Kyle being grateful for her hot man. Cut back to Russell trying to read the back of a frozen meal box. LOL. I think this is supposed to contrast happy/sad, but I personally think it’s cute that Russell has been served a giant plate of Fuck You and he’s still trying to make his kid happy. And look! Kennedy’s not hiding under furniture or sitting with the knives!

AW! I’m glad he didn’t give you soap.
Russ finally does manage to get a plate of dried ass ravioli conjured up, but it sucks and Kennedy teases him about it. He says “you’re gonna hurt my feelings.” She laughs and laughs, and then stops. “I don’t know what that means.” Spoken like a true sociopath. Can the cameras stay in this house for awhile?

Camille is in her car with paid best friend, listening to how jealous other women are of Camille. They aaaalways have been! Camille. I want to be your true friend here. Get a backpack and wash your hands.
She coos about how it’s true, women have aaaaalways just been sooooo jeeeealous of heeeer. THEY HATE YOU. That’s different than being jealous. You wish they were jealous of you. Why else would you put the weight of small children on your chest? Sorry, honey. Not jeal. And as for paid best friend, sitting there in your limo wearing her Marshall’s spring sale picnic dress after being dragged across the country to comb your hair, I’m sure she’s not jealous AT ALL.

Camille pretends to listen as she does her kegels. You can literally see her squeezing. Nice dress.
Yes, women have been jealous of her, “and with that comes a lot of judgement without knowledge.” You’re a stripper who married a rich drug addict at rock bottom and got rich. If there’s additional knowledge there, please do tell. She says that the fight with Kyle has nothing to do with what was actually said, it was about Kyle being jealous. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!


Kyle switched out the pants from the store with a black skirt, and now she looks like a waitress. This isn’t starting well for her.

Camille sent Kyle a text telling her to come and enjoy the show, and Lisa says that if any of them start shit tonight she’s gonna pull out a switch. Shlemiel and Paid Best Friend step out of the car and Paid Best Friend becomes an instant assistant. This girl is very useful. Where can I get one of those? Camille poses for the cameras hilariously. She looks like she had to get a cavity filled and had her entire mouth numbed. If I’d been there I would have offered her a Frosty.

It’s Nemo!
She tells us what it’s like to be so famous. People are shouting out Frasier! in really bad Mexitalian and Chinussian accents. Where is she walking the red carpet, Epcot? Stupid Shlemiel. By the way, this is the perfect time to explain why I like to call her Shlemiel.

When you hit image results, these are on the first page:


And cuz it rhymes and I’m stupid simple to please. Point is, Camille’s an asshole. She is asked by a reporter if she’s seen any rehearsals, and she says no “because I like to keep it fresh.” Huh? Speaky Englee. Kyle is instantly uncomfortable and thinks someone’s gonna run up to her out of nowhere and tell her off. Tennis Ho is waiting for Camille inside, and she’s sure to get a shot of her holding onto him like a coupon for dripless saline sacks.

I hope someone’s sucking Frasier’s cock right now. Who shows up to their husband’s premiere and acts like that? If other women’s vaginas were something you could buy at 7-11, I’d march there right now and ship him a carton of em.
Camille is, of course, seated comfortably in the front while the other girls try and fight the crowd to find their seats. Cam asks Tennis Ho if she’s showing too much cleavage, because they’ve been sitting down for like thirty seconds and he hasn’t stared at her tits once.

Yes, Shlemiel, you’re still relevant.
Camille says that when she laid eyes on Kyle, she knew she could handle it. Kyle waves and Camille coos HIIIIIIIII!, but tells us that Kyle verbally assaulted her. LOL. This show needs a new housewife. I have a nomination.

Back to the show. Shlemiel can never be friends with such a petulant child like Kyle! She only has room for one kind of friend.

So what have you guys been up to?
Weird segment about how hard it is to have to piss at intermission of a Broadway show. Shots of clear bathroom. Um, there are lines of like thousands of people trying to piss, usually. You know they cleared the bathrooms for the cast. There must have been some super pissed off theatergoers that night. I paid a hundred bucks to get locked out of the bathroom and squeeze my legs shut while listening to the sounds of Camille’s IBS echoing through the lobby? No thanks.

The Return of Beeker! CAN’T. WAIT.
After the show, Shlemiel goes back to say hi to Frasier and it seems like they met like a week ago. It’s awkward, she coos fakely about how great he was, he laughs fakely about how she needs to get out of his dressing room now, she giggles about how wonderful it would be to get signed programs for the girls, he chuckles about how seriously she needs to get the fuck out of his dressing room NOW. She says it’s always fun being backstage “oooh look it’s Kelsey Grammer. Wooooo.” HAHAH. Look a gift horse in the mouth all you want, but don’t get snippy with a john.

Mr. Frasier, a carton of vaginas has just arrived for you.
There’s an after party, and Lisa’s intent on no one using the words invisible, insecure, or IBS. Kyle is sitting in a booth, stewing, and Camille comes over to the table with her giant supplies of contact solution.

You have like a zillion dollars and you couldn’t do your roots, Shlemiel? Since she’s not around gross leering men, she tries to cover up her money makers as best she can. If those things could invert like a turtle’s head into its shell, they would.

Camille shouts a lot of fakeness about how the drinks are goin down easy and when asked how she felt about watching her man kiss a dude, she kisses Kim to prove that kissing old drag queens doesn’t have to mean anything. Frasier enters, and Kyle is worried about him because if her husband was pissed at one of her friends, he would probably defend her. Well, that’s different. Your husband speaks to you. Frasier probably doesn’t even know any of this is happening. He’ll get around to listening to those voicemails right after he’s done with all those Hooters waitresses I’m sending him in the mail.
Frash sits with the girls for awhile and charms them all. He tells us that “You hope, in a …. long marriage, that you’ve married someone…who’s decent.” That’s Frasier talk for “I’m banging any escape clause I possibly can” with a “travail” thrown in at the end for good measure. Kyle is shocked by how kind and gracious Frash is cuz it’s the exact opposite of how his wife behaves. I’m just gonna try and move on and pretend I didn’t just see Frasier disco dancing.

In the limo on the way back to the airport, Kyle is missing her family pretty bad right now. Everyone misses their husbands, and Kim twitches out something about missing all their husbands too. AW. Kyle is being nice to her again, and she talks about how being all alone on their Vegas trip really made her want to get a man. Poor Kim! Maybe she can find a guy with Strabismus so he doesn’t notice the twitch.

I think I loves you.
Kyle wants Kim to fall in love and have someone to share her life with. Hey! Kim’s got an idea! How bout they all pick a guy for her and they can have a big dinner where she gets to pick one! Taylor hates the bitch, so there’s no way she’s doing that. Lisa knows of a guy, but he’s in prison. LOL. Have I mentioned today how much I love. This. Show? I hear Brad and Angelina are having trouble. Just show up at that front door and remind Brad that you’re an ICON. The Bachelorette: Twitch Edition.
Lisa suggests an old rich dude with a bum heart. She came up with that plan years ago and it didn’t work for her, but it’s gotta work sometime!

Ow, penis trees! My haht! Wait nevah mind I’m fine. Have you seen my wife? Cuz I’M NEVAH PASSING! EVAH!
Back in BH, Lisa is waiting for Adrienne to call her so she can gossip freely without interrupting mourning time. Ad comes over, walks a half a mile up the driveway, and they get to blahing. Ad says that Taylor left her several messages about the drama. Taylor is such an instigator. Lisa catches Ad up, and Ad looks annoyed and uninterested. Leech, though, looks like my Pawpaw sitting in front of a Gunsmoke rerun.

They just don’t make em like this anymore, kiddo.
Adrienne puts on her coaching hat and calmly says that it should all be easy to work out. Mmhmm. Good luck with that. I’m gonna love watching you try. Leech suggests another lunch, cuz he’s a drama queen. Love it. He earns his keep. Now shots of all of Shlemiel’s employees. The lady who follows her around with a bucket in case of IBS attack looks miserable.
Camille is reading The Art of War. HAHAHAHAH. I wonder if Sun Tzu knew that this dumbshit would one day be sitting down with his work. Oh wait. He must have. Page 674 paragraph three:

You’re an asshat – Sun Tzu
Camille has Tennis Ho over and tells him that Kyle raged at her like a crazed homeless woman and she doesn’t trust any of the women. Then, within the same ten seconds, tells us how women should empower each other instead of tear each other down. HA! Women need to be more like men and just punch each other. This chick is batshit at this point. We all know how full of it she is now, but she’s going on and on, making her lies bigger and bigger by the second and believing every single word of it. Oh wait. It gets better.
So how did Frasier feel about this? He was supposedly pissed and supposedly said “well I guess we’re gonna have to find a new realtor.” Camille’s not doling her husband’s hard earned cash out to some devil woman who doesn’t respect her like one of her employees should. In the pecking order, her husband wins. Then she goes on a rant about how famous and rich Frasier is and how much everyone loves him while Kyle’s married to a local realtor. WOW. So she’s not only stupid, slutty, ignorant, delusional, irrational, selfish, lazy and untalented. She’s stupid, slutty, ignorant, delusional, irrational, selfish, lazy, untalented, and hateful.
You should have actually read Art of War, skank.

“Confront them with annihilation, and they will then survive; plunge them into a deadly situation, and they will then live. When people fall into danger, they are then able to strive for victory.”
She says she wanted to “eviscerate them with words”, but she’d have to figure out what “eviscerate” means, first, and that would have been haaaaard. She calls Kyle “pernicious”, and then repeats the word a few times, hoping that its definition will just pop into her head. I’m sure the tennis pro you’re fucking thinks you’re really smart right now, Camille. Well played. She tells us what a miserable human being Kyle is a few more times as Tennis Ho tries to get his boner the hell out of there. Camille won’t let him go. Frasier must be kicking himself that this is being aired AFTER he settled their divorce for thirty million dollars.

I’m sorry but I can’t hear a thing you’re saying when you’re wearing a sweater.
So we weren’t imagining it. Camille is truly a nasty, hateful little skank. YAAAAAAYYYY!!!! She might not have spent any real time reading (ever) Art of War, but someone over at Bravo sure as shit did.

Thank you Flipit for putting this up so quickly! I wanted to climb through my television and punch Camille’s teeth straight down her throat. I don’t think I’ve ever hated anyone so much that I didn’t actually personally know. LOVE the comparison shots of Frasier and Mauricio. Yeah, I’m sure Kyle is soooooo jealouuuuuuus of Camille. It must be soooooo haaaaaaaard to be married to such a hot piece of ass like Mo and not get to bang an old drunk like Frasier fucking Crane.
Great recap Flipit. There are just no words for how unbelievably fucked up Shlemiel (LOVE THAT btw) is…….but you somehow do it justice.
AWESOME recap! After having her hair and make-up professionally done for the debut, why did Shlemiel look like a 2yr old did it? Could it be she had an afternoon delight with the tennis pro on her way over (and then they came separately so as not to raise suspicion)? Sorry she is doing this guy – she has on her fuck me face every time she sees him.
Loved the part where Kelsey was trying to get her to leave and she would not go. Love, love, loved it!
For the life of me I do not understand why Kim did not defend Kyle in front of Shlemiel. What a dumb ass. But I thought Kyle should have softened a little when Kim gave her the bracelet.
I have a policy(with myself) not to post comments from my iPhone cuz it’s such a PIA, but I’m on page 5 and I can’t resist anymore. Flipit (iPhone spellcheck changed you to “Floppy”), Your observations are hilarious! Such a great recap…back to reading.
Oh, I loved the scene with lisa’s husband….she is a lion tamer, that sexy minx!
I love Ken. He seems so in love with his wife, still.
I didn’t think the Christina Makowski dress, Lisa wore was tacky. I’m sure I’ve seen it on Countess LuAnn before, though.
The way Camille acts with the tennis pro is totally ridonk…caressing his face and shit! Does she think she’s on a soap or something? Her delusion is mind- boggling. I can’t stand that bitch!
I know everyone likes to throw around the word ‘stripper’ when referring to Camille but, kids, you don’t know how wrong you are. You see, strippers are actresses with unrealized aspiration. And, Camille? An accomplished stah.
What in the number one aspiration of all strippers? Porn careers! Camille Donatacci (her maiden name) starred in great soft corn porn with titles such as The Naked Detective and also in Private Parts (not sure if this is the Howard Stern movie). I haven’t been able to find a clip online but have read that in Detective, she plays a naughty nurse. I’m intrigued…
Not really.
@msjacqmills: I read some funny shite on another blog where a commentor called TennisHo a Beverly Hills version of Danny (Danielle’s convict companion). Camille, like Danielle, is loathed by her castmates, most of whom don’t want to film with her. So, she needs a sidekick..or basically a breathing body to absorb the lines that Bravo’s fed her. How else would we hear her side of the story without giving her someone to vent to? Of course, camille is also using him to appear desirable, because Kelsey made it quite clear that marriage was over before he even left for NY. With so many houses, it seems as if they never have to spend time together..and something tells me they didn’t. That is possibly how he managed to stay married to her for 13 years. Absence makes the heart grow fonder..
Does Russell’s teeth gross anyone else out? Frickin’ gross veneers or something, maybe also his tongue, he’s a total creeper, gives me hives. yuck
Cracked up at the Fraiz trying to get camel-toe out the door, how embarrassing for her. double yuck
OMG, “does”…. I meant “do” russell’s teeth
Does Camille not realize that everyone she is telling her convoluted lies to will someday see the footage and realize what a huge liar she is? I too thought it was amazing how Camille and Fras could seem like mere acquaintances rather than spouses of 13 years with 2 children. AND… When the tennis pro came over and Camille was “reading” The Art of War (at least she was holding it right side up) and he was preparing to leave, she stood so close to him and literally ducked her head to try to put it in the path of his lips in case he wanted to accidentally kiss her. Yes, I think she DOES think that she is in some soap opera.
As for Ken… I like him and Lisa. But clearly his “glory” days are FAR FAR in the past.
I really dislike Camille. But as consolation, she has to live with the fact that her husband would rather be with a “commoner” than with her gold digging, insincere, evil ass.
Judge Judy and Camille in the same room? Throw Jill Zarin in there too and that’s a show I’d watch 24/7.
Woochile…yes! I though the same thing about his teeth. Creepy!
Sarcastire…that makes perfect sense about the tennis ho. But, they’re probably not knocking boots, judging by how he seems not interested, but why does Camille want everyone to think they are? Kelsey is brazilliant for signing off on letting her do this show. He is coming out of this the hero.
@ Msjacqmills totally agreed on Kelsey agreeing to the show. I think Camille once said it was him that told her to do the show- which would be funny cuz in a way I could totally picture if he were about to leave maybe to want the world to see what she was really like? Thanks for the great recap as always! I really hate that Taylor is such an instigator, Kim copping out insdead of defending her sister, and Camille as a whole. It’s so weird to me when women like Camille automatically jump the conclusion that because someone doens’t like her they must be jealous. It’s just like her conclusion she gets along well with men because they have so much in common- when really Camille represents the worst stereotype of women of the bunch who is attention starved, gold digging, and has no accomplishments of her own. The only way she can seem to get attention is for flirting with guys and she seems to think that it’s sports/guy talk? I think she does seem just insecure with other women around. It’s funny too that her blog indicates by the title that the other women are being sensitive and she had to learn to not offend them- when she seems to be one of the most sensitive. She’s just disgusting.
Also did Camille pretending to read that book remind anyone else of the scene in Dodgeball where Ben Stiller’s character trying to appear smart pretends to be reading the dictionary?
Camille must have gotten one of those ‘word a day’ calendars for Christmas! Eviscerate! Pernicious!!
Also glad to see her true to form sucking down cocktails at the after party. I doooooooon’t drrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiink.
Camille comes off like a self absorbed ditz, but I don’t blame her for distrusting Kyle Richards. Kyle is bratty, obnoxious, and cruel, and this will come out as the season goes on. Kyle’s definitely the Queen Snark of Beverly Hills. Camille is clueless but harmless.
Kim Richards is so timid, sweet and childlike that I’m (suprisingly)kind of a fan. She was a working professional at age six? Obviously she didn’t go through the normal stages of child development and it shows.
I read somewhere on that we’re going to be hearing about Kim’s not too long ago stints at the Betty Ford clinic for alcoholism. I bet that’s why she’s so twitchy. My ex is an alcoholic and whenever he stops drinking for a few days he gets really twitchy, he’s even gone into seizures and the doctor said that happens when alkies stop drinking suddenly. I really hope we get to move away from Camille and all her “problems.” She is easily the most disgusting housewife, not counting the Salami’s. They are just pure evil incarnate.
Ortiz- what information do you have that is so negative about Kyle? I mean in housewive standards, she hasn’t been mean or nasty behind Camille’s back, and seems to pick her words carefully as not to offend anyone(in her bobbleheads).
Camile has been a cunt-straight out of the gate- and I hope to god that Mauricio is getting lots more calls from people becuase of this. She is trying to commit social\financial murder on Mauricio to get back at Kyle. For nothing signifigant.
Kyle would really have to fall apart at the seams to get folks to dislike her as much as Camille is already hated.
I think the bad thing about Kyle is the way she treats Kim–especially if Kim is fresh out of rehab. You can see that Kyle still resents her role in the family of second fiddle and caretaker to Kim. Her life has been so much less sad and stressful than Kim’s, she should just drop it.
Girls aren’t jealous of Camille. They don’t like her because she flirts with their men and tries to says that she’s a guys girl.
I think that Camille is over the top with tennis pro. Why is she always holding his face like that? Then in the last scene, she looked like wanted to tongue him down and he was doing whatever he could to dodge her.
Halfway into the re-cap and I love it so far, as usual! I think Camille is effing nuts. First of all that breathy voice she uses drives me INSANE. I’m glad Kyle gave it to her. I think Camille loves being the victim/martyr. THATS her personality. I loved how she tried to break out the big words in this episode. Cute. Kyle showed amazing restraint considering…… being called insecure is really no big deal. Now being called a tennis pro screwing ho who doesn’t raise her own kids is another story…… and does she even know she has kids half the time? She annoys the fuck out of me. Kim is so socially awkward it’s painful to watch and so are Taylor’s lips. I can’t concentrate on what she’s saying cause all I see are her ridiculous lips flapping. They are awful. I’m really digging her kid though! What a riot. Love Lisa. She’s great. Back to the recap…….
Lord, Flipit – that was funny! I loved your take on the queen hair and makeup suck ups that Camille calls “real friends”. Her definition of friends must be those that can blow smoke up her bony ass for pay or, in the case of tennis Ho, plant a dick in her vajajay. Not that he would have any choice, she stands so close to him, he would probably trip and fall into it. How fucking hilarious was the dressing room scene with her and Kelsey? If he could have turned on a hose to spray her out of the room, he would have. He is like Frank Gifford to me – ship him some vaginas out stat!!
Wow, Kyle’s hubby – hello, let’s play Marco Polo sometime! I think Lisa’s husband is too cute, wandering through that crazy landscape with the dogs. He is lost without her – that is sweet…
God, I cannot focus on Taylor too much – I am just waiting for the jaw to unhinge and devour someone whole. And Kim gets on my nerves – her fucking twitchy, passive agressive shit makes me want to smack her.
Adrienne – I could watch her and hubby all day, with the funny sniping. You know they wuv each other. Plus I love discovering new things about their house. Like the way the bridal gown was displayed.
@LAC – I know – the bridal gown was FAB!! You know it probably cost her $50 grand, so she may as well show case that shit.
I am coming to realize, in utter amazement, that Bravo has been able to find a new woman in every new city for me to HATE soooo much, that I forget about the bitch a hated from the last season. That takes some talent. Because, right now, Theresa doesn’t seem that bad to me, and Jill Zarin is barely a blip on my radar…because I HATE CAMILLE SOOOOO FUCKING MUCH!
And, by the way, this is the only medium I’m allowing myself to use curse words on anymore – after, a few days ago, my darling 5-year-old son declared “Son of a Bitch!” after the cat jumped out of his lap. I’m going to hell.
msjacqmills: I agree with you on the new season of hating bitches. Last Thursday, I could have shoved the Art of Whore down Camille’s throat. This Sunday, I wanted to ask the doctor perfoming Phaekdra’s c-section to replace that piece of flint inside her with an actual heart. I mean, as long as he has her on the operating table…
msjacqmills, wait until you have a teenager who likes to play “you do it, so why can’t I?” game with you…”Because I fucking said so!!” LOL!
LAC – hahaha – I haven’t seen the episode yet, but I totally forgot it was time for the blowfish to have her baby. Oooh – now I can’t wait!
LAC – I have a 16 year old DAUGHTER. I have heard it all – God help me. I’m so grateful my 2 youngest (5 and 6 years) are both boys. If I had had another girl I would be one of those mothers who runs away from home or fakes her own death. I’m sooo pissed at Mtv for airing “My Super Sweet Sixteen” during my daughters junior high years – no matter what I did to instill good values and philanthropy into her life, she still turned out to be an entitled brat. She’s gotten better, but somehow I think if “16 and Pregnant” was on tv back then, life may have been a bit easier.
But, I digress.
I fucking HATE CAMILLE!
msjacqmills, you too? I swear, sometimes I want to grab one of Kim’s wigs, buy a cadillac and hit the open road after one of our “talks”
Yes LAC. And, besides Super Sweet 16, I also blame The Hills and all those snotty kids for setting bad examples – oh, and Paris Hilton too – and Nicole Richie before she became a great mom. They made my daughter UNBEARABLE for 2 straight years!
OK – I’m done.
Not done reading yet but when you noted Camille Paid Best Friend wearing a Marshall’s picnic dress, I spit Coke Zero on my computer!! I tried that dress on at Target and it was hideous…also it was for a teenager so that 40 year old woman wearing it is just sad! LOL, love your recaps!
Camille is the best! I have not laughed so hard in a very long time.
First when Kelsey practically shoved her out of his dressing room…awesome.
“Machievellic” that was great.
Then when her fantasy side piece tennis partner could barely look her in the eye (but he did look her boobs in the eyes). I almost had tears in my eyes from giggling.
Reading “The Art of War”. How obvious.
If she dressed like Eddie from AbFab and had a ciggie hanging out of her mouth for much of this episode she would have been my favorite campy housewife evah!
I’m sorry, jealous of who? Are you dillusional? What’s there to be jealous of? Sure you may look great but if you have that kind of money, you can pay to look great, duh!! Plus, chics like you are a dime a dozen (see any cast from Real Housewives for proof). I’m sure Kyle is anything but jealous! Especially since she has a hot husband who (wait for it…)actually loves her!! This woman is nasty, case in point, “Nick, do you want to motorboat me? I mean, am I showing too much cleave?” And please, I don’t think people are so star-struck about Frasier. I’m sure plenty of groupies have had their moment…
There are a multitude of younger, hotter Camille’s in the strip clubs of L.A.
Fraser an “A-list” celeb?! In what universe? I might feel a bit sad for her if she wasn’t such a c&nt. And, when she said “Kyle and I’s fight…” I nearly ground my teeth together. I can’t help but think Kelsey’s sitting somewhere on Thursday nights watching the show on TiVo and laughing uncontrollably at how she’s coming off.
Yes, I admit, Kyle can be a bit harsh, but how could what Camille accused her of saying even have fit in the conversation in the first place?
Flipit, you are a mastah! This recap was a laughapalooza. They may be richer than the OC ladies but, they are definitely on par with the crazy. Could Not Stop Laughing. Camille going psycho, Kyle getting emotional, Kim and Taylor all faux-ghetto. Where does Bravo find ‘em? That restaurant scene was unreal. Who does that? The crazy thing is, I don’t think they do it to manufacture drama like the other howives, I really believe they’re that effed up.
Camille is more malevolent than I originally thought. That lie was told to instigate a fight with Kyle and to undermine every aspect of her life for not bowing down to queen buttstank. How many times has she manipulated Kelsey into terminating a business or social relationship with someone because they dare not fawn all over her, kiss her smelly ass or fail to act interested in getting into her skidmarked panties? This may be her real problem with Kyle and Mauricio. Mo ain’t interested, ain’t willing to pretend and the bitch can’t stand it.
Camille was a stripper who had to demean and degrade herself to earn money so she now expects her (well, Frasier’s) employees to act like her sycophantic hos’. She is vile. How will any of her emfriends be able to stand themselves after seeing this. I hope Camille is “making it rain” for ‘em.
Well if this show is any indication, Frasier is onto her and has decided to go all “machiavellic” on her. Not only is he dumping “she of loose morals and loose bowels” he has decided to let all of Hollywood know what a delusional, self-obsessed, treacherous, narcissistic bitch Camille is. God that man can’t stand her. This is good. No one is more deserving of such a public comeuppance. Jill/Theresa who? Ok, I still hate them, just not as much as Camille. The woman is horrendous. Ok done ranting.
I too loved Ad’s glass enclosed bridal gown. Must be nice to have so much money you can tastefully and unobtrusively display and preserve your beautiful wedding dress.
Camille is delusional. Based on my extensive studies of men in their natural habitat, Fraiser would not end his business relationship with Mo over a spat between their wives. They will go have drinks and continue to do business with each other and laugh at how they had to listen to the wives go on and on about the fight. (for about 5 minutes) Then they will close the business deal and go on about their day.
I love your Schlemiel references and appreciate the explanation – I’ll never forget the awesome Parks and Rec scene where someone explains that the Schlemiel is the guy who spills his soup on someone and the Schlamazel is the guy who gets the soup spilled on him, and that Jerry is both the Schlemiel and the Schlamazel. Love.
@Classy ordinarily I would agree with your statement regarding men and their tendency to be dismissive of “catfights” and to not let those things interfere in their business dealings. This tends to be true when the men in question are social/professional/economic equals and the benefits to both parties are mutual, and when the catfight is about something men would consider silly e.g. battling birthday parties or cheap shots about ones appearance.
Kyle’s “alleged” comments imply a lack of respect, contempt and that Camille is a ZERO. Most men would find this highly insulting and sufficient reason to demand an apology and/or to terminate a relationship with someone they gave a significant amount of business to. That’s been my experience. This is also the reason Kyle was so concerned about how Kelsey would react to her when he encountered her at the club and stated that “if the situation were reversed Mo would say something to defend her”.
Based on Camille’s interaction with her toadies and their responses, this just appeared to be some manipulative bs she has pulled before. “oh, I guess he won’t be your realtor anymore” and “what did Kelsey have to say about this? Now, I could be wrong……
Camille would never pull that shit with Lisa or Maloof because any loss of a relationship with her would be meaningless to them. Life would go on as usual. No social or economic consequences. In fairness, to Mo he is not as dependent on the Grammers as clients as Deluho Camille would like to believe. Mo is a top realtor for Rick and Kathy Hilton’s firm.
I find Camille delusional because she believes she comes across well as opposed to a really skeevy, toxic and manipulative bitch. She is also delusional because she believes her sphere of influence extends beyond her husband (he’s obligated) and her toadies (they’re paid).
There are conflicting stories about Kelsey and whether or not he encouraged Cam to do the RHOBH. It seems Camille did a little more than just dance and appear in soft porn and that Kel didn’t want her to do the show because it would lead to the dredging up of her past, which might embarrass their family. This is supposedly the reason he turned to another woman, that and her continued provocative behavior. Oh well, as NeNe said of the Fake Dr. the truth will come out.
Yea, Frasier had to know what he was getting into. After all, you can’t turn a ho into a housewife.
Is it me or does Russell look zackly like Tom Arnold?? I wanted Kyle to backhand Kim in the mouth when she told Kyle “to know her place”. I cannot stand Kim for some reason. Don’t even get me started on Camielle.
It was amazing how Cammy started the whole thing with what Kyle supposedly said but when talking to tennis ho it was not what she said at all but Kyle being jealous. And when did Kyle come after her like a crazed homeless woman? The only homeless woman Cammy knows is her BFF that she so Jesus-like let use one of her many homes.
As for Kim, she’s a big old scaredy cat. All she had to say was “Cammy, this is exactly what Kyle said” but instead sat there like a dope not saying anything. Kyle had every right to be mad.
Maybe nobody knows but according to wikipedia Fraz & Cam already have divorced on June 1, 2010.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camille_Donatacci
Camille has the same birthday as my mom.
Also, if Kelsey married that psycho straight out of rehab, I doubt he was thinking too clearly about anything and did not know what he was getting himself into. I need to find a rich drug addict to baby sit as he gets clean and then convince him to marry me without a prenup in his post-drug stupor. It’s kind of ingenious.
@Ectobaby: If you ever need a companion while scouring AA mettings, I’m your girl.
Ok. Camille has been on my shit list since her comment about “keeping kelsey sober”, but my hatred for her has reached a whole new level. So here goes. Dear Camille- NO ONE is jealous of you. You might want to think about your own sobriety, because judging by your constant dilated pupils, your inability to verbally finish a sentence, your paranoia, and your hallucinations, your on some serious shit. You have GOT TO drop the “i get along with guys cuz I don’t trust girls cuz they’re jealous and mean to me” act, cuz nobody is buying it. Your husband can’t stand your voice, much less your prescence, and his embarrassment of you is crystal clear. Quit mentioning your phenominal boobs in detail to a group of married men, cuz it’s just inappropriate and in bad taste. Stop “hugging” your MARRIED “male friend” in such an intimate way. You are just creepy, delusional, and you need to be institutionalized 1 room down from the salahis. I would love to live in your dream world for one day, and one day only.Living in reality is how to function with the rest of society,ms thang.Love, America Phew! sorry so long, but I feel better. Iv’e GOT TO track down her actual address and send this to her for real.
Trust me, I detest Camille, but I agree with an above poster. She’s so delusional, she’s harmless. Karma’s a bitch, it’s smacking her in the face, she’s getting what she deserves, and that’s that.
I still fel bad for twitchy-Kim. I feel like she can’t catch a break, and I have a weak spot for people who are self-destructive. She just seems so fragile and lost, and she must envy her sister’s life so much.
As much as I want to dislike Taylor, I don’t. I know she’s self-consumed, and Kennedy’s birthday party was a bit much, but she actually seems like she could be nice. Yeah, she married Russell for the wrong reasons, but she was probably holding out hope that one day he would truly love her and they’d be a happy family. Not everyone gets what Kyle has.
I switch between hating and liking Kyle. Her whole “martyr” act with Kim bothers the hell out of me, but who knows what really goes on in a family behind closed doors. Especially THAT family. She seems like a loving mother and has an amazing home life. That being said, I wouldn’t trust her, though.
Lisa, well, she had my heart when she called the mascot a pantomime!
Love me some Adrienne, too. And I love how stinking rich she must be. I picture Teresa Guidice drooling and flipping tables in envy.
Adrienne phone call about her uncle sounds just like a ‘get me out of this blind date’ call.
