This week on our favorite showRich Women Doing Thingsthe rich women did things.
They wore the same pink velvet dress to the same exact party.
They did their makeup while their stoned husbands demolished sandwiches next to them in their palatial bathrooms.
But the thing they did the most was get into a fight that I cant possibly understand.
Shes barely uttered a dozen words this whole season.
The new women, as Garcelle points out, are sidelined by Kyle.
She says she loves them but shes freezing them out.
(She looked amazing, though.)
Garcelle even agrees with Denise that Kyle doesnt talk to them, she talks over them.
Everything kicks off at Erikas house in Pasadena, where the ladies havent convened for a couple of seasons.
He goes around the table and tells all the women about their personalities based on their star signs.
When facing Erika in an argument, its best to present the facts.
Kyle gets the most worked up when someone is treated unfairly.
Lisa Rinna lets everyone know where they stand, even if they sometimes dont want to hear it.
Dorit is hard to reel back in when she gets upset.
Garcelle, like a girl in a Cyndi Lauper song, just wants to have fun.
Sutton, something something something.
I dont know I wasnt paying attention.
These are all things that we could have guessed just by watching the show.
The most interesting readings belong to Denise and Teddi.
While she looks placid on the surface shes plotting revenge deep down inside, beyond her placid exterior.
I love to see it.
Everyone points out that Kyle is an earth sign.
This conversation then turns into whether or not the two of them had couples therapy together.
The women think this is weird.
Sutton makes her only good comment of the show and says, Why do we care?
I echo the sentiment.
Why do they care?
And why is Kyle so upset about the insinuation?
That is only natural.
Erika and Lisa are closer to each other than anyone else.
Thats just what happens.
Why wont Kyle acknowledge it?
That doesnt mean I love any of you less.
The problem then becomes less about their relationship and how Kyle is treating them.
At least at this party she doesnt get up and storm off like she did at the last one.
Dorit points this out to a teary Kyle, who cant handle any criticism.
Kyle Richards always looks best when there is someone else around who is worse than her.
Its as if they are a mirror that can absorb the burning flames of her own meanness.
There were a few seasons where Brandi also made Kyle seem sympathetic.
In later seasons, as their relationship became more competitive, it was Lisa Vanderpump.
If she took the blame for the behind-the-scenes machinations, then Kyle came off scot-free for protecting the group.
Since shes not letting Garcelle or Sutton into the inner circle, she is without a shield.
The alpha is being challenged by the group.
The workers are coming for the queen, and they want an equitable distribution of wealth.
Destroy the wheels of capitalism!
The revolution is now anditwillbe televised, apparently.
Is she using this so she can have a storyline?
Is it all an elaborate ruse so that they can all throw shade at Lisa Vanderpump?
Is Earl really paying her for design services?
Is Buca di Beppothe newThe Hustle?
I cant wait for the party with the big unveiling.
The suspense is killing me.
We are the monster.
We are the fools and the ones being fooled.
