Jurassic Snark: A Place to Excavate The Real Housewives

RHOSLC, Season 1, Episode 1–Welcome to Salt Lake City!

August 24, 2026

I have been getting some emails requesting this franchise and I am ready! I’ve watched it before, so let’s dig in to the very first episode of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.

The episode kicks off with shots of the scenery around Salt Lake City, and it looks VERY different from the locations we have seen before. We hear the women doing voiceovers about what makes the city so unique, particularly the combination of society, wealth, and the Mormon church. We also get some flash-forwards of the women fighting throughout the season, and, I have to say, it looks legit. I am intrigued.

Now, let’s meet the ladies.

At Jen Shah’s rented chalet, we meet Coach Shah, who is making breakfast for Jen. They have two sons, Rief and Omar. Jen explains that her ethnicity is unusual in Utah because the area is not particularly diverse. She tells us how hard her husband works and how grateful she is for the lifestyle they have created. I bet. Jen tells us that she used to be Mormon but converted to Islam for her husband. She then tells her son not to kiss anyone, so he doesn’t catch AIDS. Oh, man, get that medical degree STAT.

Her oldest son is planning on going to med school, and that is going to cost a pretty penny. Hope Jen is saving up other people’s money!

We meet Heather Gay next. She runs a successful beauty spa, which seems pretty appropriate considering she tells us that Mormonism teaches that perfection is attainable and should be sought. Sounds like she owns the perfect business for that.

We see her daughters, and Heather tells us she is a purebred, pedigreed Mormon. She married into extreme wealth, with her ex-husband’s family considered “Mormon royalty” and, according to Heather, worth billions.

But Heather is divorced, and she is having a hard time reconciling that with her Mormon faith. Divorce is clearly something she has struggled with, particularly because of the expectations she grew up with. She has also built a lifestyle that doesn’t exactly fit with traditional Mormon teachings, and she isn’t sure how she feels about any of it yet.

So basically, Heather is a divorced Mormon running a beauty empire while trying to figure out what the hell happened to the perfect life she was promised. I have a feeling we’re going to be hearing a LOT about this.

At Meredith Marks’ rental, her son, Brooks, appears for the first time. He becomes quite the staple on the show, and a breakout star in his own way. Meredith, her husband Seth, and Brooks are going hiking. Not my jam, but sure.

Meredith explains that they split their time between Chicago and Utah. She has been married to Seth for 23 years and they have three children. Brooks is the most interesting one, and he does Meredith’s makeup every day. I want a Brooks.

Meredith owns a jewelry store in Utah and designs jewelry, while Seth’s work keeps him traveling and spending significant time away. So, that’s a balancing act.

Next up is Lisa Barlow. She has the most annoying voice I have ever heard, and she REALLY loves Lisa Barlow and Lisa Barlow’s life. She wants us to know this.

We see her waking her sons up and getting her dog dressed for a walk. Yes, her dog. She is from New York and Jewish by heritage, but Mormon by choice. She and her husband, John, have been married for 16 years, and their sons are Jack and Henry.

Then, we hear about VIDA tequila for the first time. In ensuing episodes, Lisa will not shut up about this and never misses an opportunity to plug it. We are about to become VERY familiar with VIDA tequila.

The family lives on drive-thru and fast food. I don’t know how Mormon that is, but whatever.

Jen Shah visits Heather’s spa for some treatments, and we learn that they have known each other for a few years. Jen gets Botox in her armpits. Seriously? Now I have to worry about my armpits aging? That’s just great.

They discuss Meredith’s upcoming birthday and decide to host a Studio 54 party at Jen Shah’s house. This seems like a perfectly reasonable idea, except Meredith doesn’t seem like she thinks it’s refined enough for her. We shall see.

We cut to Whitney Rose’s wedding day. She has actually been married to her husband for 10 years and they have two kids. Whitney reveals that her husband is 18 years older than she is, and that they were both married when they met. Very Mormon.

Whitney was excommunicated from the church, and she is also Heather’s cousin, so apparently there is already some family history here.

Whitney has an annoying little baby voice that drives me nuts, but I don’t hate her. In fact, I suspect Whitney may grow on me.

We move to Jen Shah with her assistant, Stuart. She tells us he does everything. Hmm. Let’s see how that plays out in court, Jen.

For now, they are busy planning Meredith’s birthday party, which seems to be shaping up as the main event for the ladies.

We go back to Meredith’s and see her getting ready for Lisa to come over. Lisa arrives, and these two look so much alike to me that it was hard to keep them straight at first.

Jen is also on her way over and arrives shortly after Lisa, in stilettos, in the snow. Because apparently, hypothermia is not an acceptable reason to sacrifice an outfit.

Lisa tells us she is the queen of the Sundance Film Festival, so I guess that’s pretty fancy.

Jen brings up that Lisa went to school with Heather and has known her for 20 years. Lisa says she doesn’t remember Heather. Lol. Those two aren’t going to get along. I feel it.

Lisa says she DOES remember that Heather was a good-time girl in college.

Oh, this should be fun.

We meet Mary Cosby, and she meets up with Whitney. Mary is very unfiltered. I mean, VERY.

Mary has been married for 21 years. To her step-grandfather.

Evidently, her grandmother “left” her husband to Mary in the will, and that’s not weird at all.

Mary and her husband run a Pentecostal church, which she also inherited from her grandmother. Because of course she did.

Mary tells a story about telling Jen that she smelled “like hospital.” If that sounds bizarre, it’s because it is. It all is, and I am here for it.

Jen didn’t even want to invite Mary to Meredith’s party because she is so offended by the whole thing. And I have a feeling this is going to continue developing in true Housewives fashion.

We see the setup for the party at Jen’s house, and it looks extravagant. I wish I had a friend who was willing to spend ill-gotten gains on me like that.

Jen also has at least three assistants, and that’s gotta get pricey.

Heather stops by, and Jen tells her that Lisa denied knowing her. Heather is not happy. Storms are brewing in SLC.

Heather feels Lisa is being dismissive and takes serious offense to the “good-time girl” comment. She insists it isn’t true. She was a virgin when she got married and even signed BYU’s Honor Code.

Heather is VERY offended.

And suddenly, Meredith’s birthday party has the potential to be considerably more entertaining than anyone planned.

We go to Meredith’s, where Seth has had Brooks set up a rose paradise for Meredith’s birthday. It’s beautiful, but Seth won’t actually be in town for her birthday.

Meredith is surprised by all of the roses and thinks it’s beautiful, but she’d obviously rather have Seth there in person. She appreciates the gesture, but she’s disappointed that he won’t be there to celebrate with her.

We get to the night of the party, and Meredith is dressed like a Muppet for reasons I cannot fathom. Lisa is wearing all black, because she is a New Yorker. Whitney is dressed like Barbie, and Jen’s house is decked out in the best that stolen money can buy.

I would go to this party, as long as I never had to give a deposition about it or anything like that.

Heather is very ready to party and loves the shirtless male servers. All of the other women arrive, the cocktails are flowing, and little fractures are already beginning to form.

Heather is still annoyed that Lisa said she doesn’t remember her and hasn’t approached her about it yet, but she will.

Jen makes her grand entrance, even though it is Meredith’s party, and there is a dance performance that is very cool and probably cost a bundle. Jen reminds us that she is extravagant. She might want to keep her mouth shut about that on camera.

Heather finally goes to say hello to Lisa, and Lisa completely blows her off like she is a stranger. Heather wonders if she is being shunned for being a divorced Mormon.

Jen and Mary sit down together to hash out the hospital-smell fight. It’s pretty ridiculous, but they are dead serious.

Mary says she almost died in a hospital and can’t stand the smell of them. Jen is insulted that Mary was insensitive to her after Jen had just visited her aunt in the hospital—the source of the smell.

Keri, Jen’s friend, chimes in, and Mary says she also smells like hospital.

LMAO.

Mary is a very special kind of Housewife.

These women really do hit different, and I am not sure why. Maybe it’s the snow, or the altitude.

Jen storms off and yells that Mary is disrespecting her family, and that’s the end of Episode 1.
RHUGT, Season 5, Episode 3: Roaring 20’s

August 23, 2026

We’re back with another episode of RHUGT, otherwise known as a bunch of old dinosaurs sitting around while the show reminds us of things we already watched.

So far, this season has been less “Ultimate Girls Trip” and more “Previously on The Real Housewives,” with an impressive amount of flashbacks and very little actually happening in the present. I am already tired, and the episode hasn’t even given me a reason to be awake yet.

I’m sorry if the recaps for this show have been a little flat. I just don’t feel like there has been much action to work with. I’m hoping tonight delivers, because I would really like to have something to work with besides footage I’ve already seen.

Let’s see if these dinosaurs can manage to do something interesting.

The ladies are still in Beverly Hills, and Kyle is preparing to host her famous white party. She’s been throwing these things since 2004, so naturally we get a montage of white parties from years past. Because if there’s one thing this episode loves, it’s a flashback.

Mauricio is planning to stop by, which makes Kyle sad since it’s the day after their thirtieth anniversary. We see all of the women getting ready for the party, and Luann is wearing wings. I’m assuming this means she’ll be performing at the party. Lord help us all.

Erika and Sutton arrive. Oh, and Teddi is there. I can’t with Teddi.

Eileen Davidson, Adrienne Maloof, and Camille Grammer also arrive, and we are really bringing out the dinosaurs tonight.

Oh, shit. Denise Richards and Meredith Marks are there. This might be some fun, after all. Here’s hoping.

So far, though, the episode is so bogged down with flashbacks that I can’t tell. They are pretty much nonstop.

The party does look pretty, and everyone looks nice. All of the women are impressed.

Luann is having trouble with her wings, as one does.

Lisa Barlow is happy to see Meredith, but nervous about seeing Bronwyn. Whitney from SLC is also there, and since Whitney and Meredith are not speaking, I am hoping something will go down.

Lisa is also not speaking to Whitney, but Porsha and Gizelle are friendly with her. Then Mauricio shows up, and his interaction with Kyle is pretty awkward, which is to be expected. He will never emotionally fulfill her. Know that.

Luann is still prancing around in her wings and tells us she is worried about seeing Erika because they have issues stemming from Bravocon, when Luann called Erika one of the rudest Housewives she has ever met.

This chick films with Ramona, so that is really saying something.

Gizelle realizes that the Salt Lake women are completely ignoring each other and asks Whitney about it. Bronwyn and Whitney warn Gizelle to watch out for Lisa and Meredith.

Naturally, we get a bunch of flashbacks of fights between all the Salt Lake women. And you know what? It actually makes me want to watch RHOSLC. I think I might start recapping it. It’s gotta be better than this pack of dinosaurs rehashing the same old fossils.

Luann gets ready to make her grand entrance. Kyle introduces her, and Luann comes strutting in wearing her wings and a harness.

Of course she does.

Luann performs one of her songs, accompanied by a man dressed like a bush. It’s so bad. I mean, it’s really exceptionally bad. This may be the worst I have ever heard her sound.

Oh, the bush is a callback to her iconic fall in Mexico. That is one of my favorite scenes, but the bush man is still an odd touch.

The performance finally ends and everyone tells Luann how great she was. Okay. Lisa says she was a 12/10, and then we get to watch the other women attempt to sing over the years. It makes my teeth hurt.

We find out that Dorit and Kyle still aren’t speaking. Erika and Luann finally come face to face, and Erika is ICY. Luann wants to talk to her, but Erika walks away. Luann says Erika is a bitch.

My husband just came into the room and said, “Oh, finally. Something is happening.”

I hope he’s right.

Kyle encourages Luann to speak with Erika, so Lu tries again. Erika cuts her off and says Luann kicked her when she was down, and if Erika was rude, it’s because she was going through something.

And then they totally make up.

That’s it. Nothing happens.

This could have been a good showdown between the divas, but no such luck. We were promised drama, and instead we got a heartfelt resolution. I feel robbed.

Vicki also has issues with Luann, so maybe something will come of that. Gizelle and Porsha gossip about the fact that the SLC women clearly cannot stand each other, and Gizelle plans to ask Heather Gay about it when they see her in Atlanta. Gizelle is on the case.

Vicki thinks Luann has been poking at her, so she pulls her aside. Sorry, I just skipped over a bunch more flashbacks. It’s late and this dinosaur is pooped.

So anyhow, Vicki and Luann sit down, and Vicki says she feels bad that everyone gave her a hard time about working in the car on the drive to Beverly Hills. She says she has huge responsibilities and pressure, and Vicki says she feels like Luann doesn’t like her.

She did, after all, call her Porky Pig, which is worse than Miss Piggy.

It totally is. I saw that was going to be trouble when Luann said it, and here we are.

Luann tells Vicki that people find her irritable and don’t want to hear her unsolicited financial advice. Vicki agrees, as long as Luann stops singing.

The Beverly Hills women rehash their lives on the show throughout the years, and we get, surprise! Some flashback packages.

Camille gives a speech for Kyle, and it’s just not interesting. She basically just kisses Kyle’s ass for a few minutes.

This whole cast is kissing her ass, and this show is boring.

And now we’ve said it.
RHONY, Season 9, Episode 4–The Etiquette of Friendship: Not Well, Bitch!

August 23, 2026

We begin at Ramona’s Hamptons house, where she is hosting a party. Sonja has just arrived, and pretty much everyone is mad at her, so this should be quite a night.

Tinsley is meeting Dorinda for the first time and is nervous because there is already so much friction between Dorinda and Sonja. Tinsley is super friendly and immediately shares the story of her arrest. Dorinda shrugs it off and seems perfectly accepting of her, which has to be a relief. One potential friendship crisis avoided. For now.

Sonja and Carole discuss Bethenny’s beef with Ramona over Ramona mentioning Bethenny’s old topless movie scene. Bethenny is not willing to be around Ramona right now and skipped the party.

Carole is hosting a party for the upcoming 2016 election, and she doesn’t want Ramona to come because she believes Ramona is a Trump supporter, which she is.

They move on to dinner, and Ramona claims to have cooked everything herself. Candace Bushnell, author of Sex & the City, is there, because apparently this dinner needed at least one person who has actually written something.

At dinner, Dorinda starts off being rude to Sonja every time Sonja tries to be friendly. Dorinda is just being mean, while chewing with her mouth open, as usual. She gets on Sonja’s case about Sonja talking to the press about everyone, and the dinner gets awkward real fast.

Then Dorinda tells Sonja to get an easy pass for her Holland Tunnel, and it is very clear she is talking about Sonja’s vagina. It’s low, gross, and completely unnecessary.

As Sonja puts it, this is not how one acts at a dinner party. Dorinda is really fired up, and Luann also piles on Sonja about the blogs and articles Sonja has released.

Sonja says she won’t miss Luann’s wedding, even though she isn’t even invited. Sonja is in la la land, but Dorinda is still being cruel, and she isn’t even drunk. She is talking about cucumbers and bananas, and it’s really something to see. This woman is out of control.

In the Hamptons.

Another guest proposes a toast to change the subject, and that seems like a good call. Dorinda keeps going after Sonja, saying she used to work for Trump and has been slandering Dorinda’s family. Dorinda won’t listen to anyone, and she won’t quiet down. She calls Sonja a liar and a fraud and starts making Grey Gardens references.

Sonja likens it to a temper tantrum, and that’s a fair assessment.

Bethenny arrives and waits outside in the car to pick up Carole. She can hear the women screaming from inside the house. Dorinda is the worst of them. Ramona finally pulls Sonja away from the table.

Sonja says Dorinda just needed to vent, and boy, did she ever! Sonja is a very forgiving soul. Or maybe she is just delusional.

On her way out, Carole reminds Ramona that she doesn’t want her at her election party. Way to thank someone for dinner.

Meanwhile, Candace Bushnell is talking to a rampaging Dorinda, who can’t believe Sonja had the nerve to ask how she was doing. Then we get the classic, iconic “Not well, bitch!” and Ramona brings out a cake, even as Dorinda hurls insults and the women scatter out the door.

The next day, we start at Luann’s house, where Candace Bushnell is still hanging around. I remember when there was talk of her joining the cast. It never happened.

At Sonja’s rental house, she and Tinsley are debriefing the fight the night before. They agree Dorinda was terrible. Meanwhile, at Luann’s house, Dorinda is justifying her behavior and still badmouthing Sonja. Dorinda is unstoppable. She gives me a headache, and the way she eats makes me sick.

Sonja and Tinsley arrive at Luann’s, and Sonja is still making excuses for Dorinda. She greets Dorinda with a big hug, and I can’t believe it. They agree they will move onward and upward, and I guess that’s the only direction left to go after you call your friend’s vagina the Holland Tunnel.

Sonja also makes up with Luann, so all is good in the Hamptons. Except for the trouble brewing between Bethenny and Ramona, of course. Sonja keeps insisting she is invited to Luann’s wedding, even though it has been made clear that she is not. There is no convincing her of the truth.

Back in the city, Dorinda and Tinsley meet for dinner. Dorinda is calm and pleasant, and it’s a nice change of pace. They get along, and Luann arrives. Both ladies are very friendly to Tinsley, and they discuss the surprise party Dorinda is planning for Ramona’s sixtieth birthday.

Tinsley also shares more about her arrest, and the women are understanding, but seem secretly appalled. I find this funny since Luann is only about a year away from her own upcoming arrest, and Dorinda assaults people on a regular basis.

But, I digress.

Next up, we see Sonja on the phone with her boyfriend, Frenchie. They make plans to meet up, so Sonja quickly washes her underwear.

In her bidet.

This I have never seen before, but it is classic Sonja.

Dorinda meets John for lunch and tells us again that their relationship is working. She tells us this a lot.

Dorinda’s daughter, Hannah, is moving out, and John is excited because that means he will finally be able to have sleepovers at Dorinda’s.

At Carole’s, she has some adorable kittens. They are both named “Baby.” So is her dog. This is stupid. She is a writer, mind you. Very creative.

They discuss Carole’s relationship with Adam, and I start to Vicki snore. Who cares? I guess I clearly don’t.

Bethenny is still mad at Ramona and won’t go to her birthday party. She says Ramona is despicable.

We cut to Sonja at the townhouse. She is feeling hurt that Tinsley is hanging out with her friends and excluding Sonja. She wants to feel included, and it’s understandable, especially since she introduced Tinsley to these women.

Tinsley overhears the whole conversation and jumps in to defend herself, saying she doesn’t have many friends right now and needs to meet people. Sonja again says she just wants to be included, and I again get it. They make up, and all is well in Sonja’s world.

It’s a big improvement from the start of the episode, because no one is screaming at her.

Until next week.
RHOBH, Season 1, Episode 13–Unforgivable: You Stole My Goddamned House–The Limo Fight from Hell

August 23, 2026

We start in New York, where Camille is getting ready for the Tony Awards and looking fabulous. She toasts to thirteen years of marriage. Kelsey smirks.

Camille and Kelsey head to the awards, and he is positively icy to her during the limo ride. He has already told her he is done with the marriage, and it’s painfully obvious that he has moved on before she has even had a chance to catch up.

Back in Beverly Hills, Kyle visits her psychic. She brings her mother’s ashes and some of her hair to the meeting, and I’m not going to make a snarky comment about that because people grieve in odd ways.

The psychic immediately senses Kyle’s conflict with Kim over the New York situation. Kyle feels like Kim didn’t stick up for her against Camille, which is apparently becoming yet another thing these sisters have to work through.

Taylor visits Lisa at Villa Blanca. Lisa is not exactly crazy about Taylor, but she agrees to attend a birthday party that Russell is throwing for her. Lisa blames Taylor for the conflict in New York and questions her about what she said to Camille that upset her so much.

Taylor, naturally, blames the whole situation on Kim. Lisa tells her that she should stay out of it, but Taylor wants to confront Kim, because apparently the Beverly Hills conflict-resolution strategy is to insert yourself into every argument you possibly can.

At Lisa’s house, she has a designer over to help her choose a dress for Taylor’s birthday party. Cedric is going to the party, too, but Lisa admits that it’s time for her longtime houseguest to leave. That particular arrangement has apparently reached its expiration date.

Next up, Kim goes for a makeup lesson. She tells the makeup artist that she’s usually pretty no-frills and has never really learned how to do her makeup. She was working as a teenager and then became a mom, so she never had much time to fuss over her appearance. Kim says she doesn’t feel like she fits in with the other women and wants to spruce up her look, with a pretty dress and pretty makeup for Taylor’s party. It makes me sad that Kim is trying so hard to find her place with everyone, even with her sister as part of the group. Plus, as we learn, Kim is battling some other demons, and Kyle knows it. I think she should be looking out for her more.

At Taylor’s, she meets with a woman about rehoming her daughter Kennedy’s dog because of Kennedy’s allergy. I hate sad animal stuff, so I’m skipping most of this. I hope the dog wound up in a great home and had a great life.

Back at Lisa’s, Cedric is living his best life, rocking his Speedo by the pool. Ken is increasingly irritated by Cedric’s leisurely approach to being a houseguest. He tries to speak to Cedric about moving out, but Cedric seems like he’s heard this conversation before. I don’t think he takes Ken seriously at all.

We cut to Kyle’s. Her dress for Taylor’s party looks like it was made by Edward Scissorhands. It’s a vibe. Taylor and Russell are awkward together, and Taylor is hoping the party will go well as they make their way to the venue.

Meanwhile, Camille tells her friend that she can’t pull herself together enough to make the party. She tells us that when she arrived at her New York apartment, the doorman didn’t even recognize her as Mrs. Grammer because another woman had already been living there. It’s really fucked up.

I love Frasier, but Kelsey is a douche.

Taylor’s party is on a rooftop, and I love a good rooftop. Especially in Los Angeles. Everyone arrives, and Kim is late. Kyle tells us this is typical and says she finds it embarrassing.

We then move away from the party and see Camille saying that she feels like Kelsey is emotionally torturing her. It sure sounds that way. She has decided to file for divorce because it’s clear Kelsey is already gone.

Back at the party, Kim arrives, and looking back at this episode after all these years, I feel bad that she made such an effort to look nice for the party. It’s clear that she’s uncomfortable and overdoing it to appear fine.

Kyle whispers to Lisa that Kim seems drunk, and I think it’s shitty. If you think your sister is drunk, and you know she has a drinking problem, get her out of there. Don’t gossip about it and make her look worse.

Kim circulates around a bit and makes some painfully awkward small talk. I don’t remember if this was quite so tough to watch the first time around, but the rewatch is uncomfortable.

As the cherry on the awkward cake that is this episode, Russell gives a speech for Taylor. It is also painful, especially knowing what we now know about the alleged abuse in their relationship.

Lisa questions Taylor about her marriage. Lisa is always in everyone’s business, and I’m not convinced it’s because she actually wants to help.

Paul fights with Adrienne because she doesn’t eat, and this was before the Ozempic craze. I mean, it’s Beverly Hills. Of course she doesn’t eat.

Taylor goes to speak with Kim and rehash the whole Camille/Kyle/New York fight yet again. Taylor thinks it was Kim’s fault. Kim looks like she feels attacked, and none of these women will let this thing die. I feel bad for Kim, who just wanted to look pretty for this party.

Kim starts saying that during the New York fight, she took Kyle out of the situation and comforted her, which isn’t really true, but Kyle is a big girl and was handling herself.

Speaking of Kyle, she watches the whole exchange between Kim and Taylor like a hawk, just waiting to jump in.

Kim says Taylor is fake. Kyle comes over to get involved, and Kim looks overwhelmed and panicked. They argue over whether Taylor said “insignificant” or “invisible.” It’s nonsense.

Suddenly, all of the women are surrounding Kim in her beautiful new dress with her fancy hair. Kim says she doesn’t like any of the women or enjoy their company, and Kyle immediately jumps on her, asking if Kim means her, too.

Kim gets her velociraptor finger going and tells Kyle to watch her step. Kyle starts pointing her finger, too.

Kim hates confrontation and says everyone is stirring the pot, including Lisa and Taylor. Lisa gets offended, and Kim questions how Kyle chooses her friends. Kim and Kyle argue over who is the better sister and who has each other’s back more.

The women start to walk away from the fight, and Kim asks Taylor to stay away from her, which is pretty reasonable considering it’s Taylor’s party. Kim just wants to be left alone. She’s crying and wants to leave, and I just keep picturing the woman who was so excited to look nice for this party.

Adrienne tries to talk to Kyle and plead Kim’s case, but Kyle says Kim is a problem and that she’s alone for a reason. Kyle is a lousy sister. She brought her sister onto this show and now seems determined to humiliate her.

Kim tries to leave, but production sticks her in a limo with Adrienne and Martin and keeps circling the block until Kyle comes barging in and they can get to the real fight. Kyle actually calls the valet and tells them not to let Kim leave.

This is terrible. I am hating Kyle right now. Just let the poor woman go home.

Kyle comes into the limo and wants to know what Kim is doing. Um, she is trying to go home, Kyle. Kim tells Kyle to stay away from her, and Kyle says Kim sounds insane. Kim says she doesn’t trust Kyle, and Kyle keeps saying Kim is insane. She tells Kim that her antics cause scenes, but I don’t get this. Kim was minding her own business at the party until everyone ganged up on her.

Kim calls Kyle embarrassing, and Kyle says she’s the one who is sick of being embarrassed and that she won’t defend Kim anymore. Kim mumbles that Kyle is a “fucking phony.” I agree.

Kyle comes back with, “And Mom had to die and leave me with this.” It’s so cruel. I have sisters, and we lost our mom. This is a rotten thing to say.

Kim looks like she has been punched and screams out “You stole my goddamned house!” We know this has to do with their mom’s Palm Springs house, and this accusation will develop over the next several seasons. Kyle goes on to say that she and Mauricio have helped and supported Kim tremendously through the years.

Kim calls Mauricio a liar, and Kyle grabs her purse and lunges across the limo, clearly intending to hit Kim. Then she yells, “You are a liar, and sick, and an alcoholic!” before storming out of the limo and telling Mauricio they are done with Kim.

Kim, alone in the backseat, cries that this is “really bad,” and it is. It is not normal or natural for sisters to be this cruel to each other, but the Richards sisters are great at it.
