Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Recap: The Affair Of The Necklace

Everything Housewives gets "gated". And here on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills we have graduated from cheating-gate, and hair-gate, and last minute cancellation-gate, to necklace -gate; and most excitingly: you'recursed-gate. It's been a while since we've had a good curse on Housewives

So that's what we're dealing with here and like sand through the hourglass these here are the days of our caftans. Cause you know, Kyle Richards was on Days of Our Lives for a splits richards second.

Anyway, Brandi Glanville has a problem with her tongue and her mouth and her speech and her general planet trashiness was affected by wonky aspirin. Which is a good thing because she also has a problem with *gasp* Lisa Vanderpump. Appprrrrrntly, Lisa holds within her bejeweled hands the power to deport people, destroy their lives, poison their aspirin, and dig up their ex-husband's long-dead mistress from the grave to release her from her coffin on the very moment when you walk into a Bravo-sponsored season finale party at her restaurant. Or something like that that. Cause if anyone knows how to work a good curse it's not plastic tits on a tan witch Snarlton Gebbia, but Giggy-loving Lisa!



While Brandi has chewed her tongue off with rabid rage, Carlton is at a candle shop getting her burned wicks read for protection. Oh the things the rich find to waste their money on! Carlton invited Yolanda Foster and her lime-colored pants to meet her so they can complain about Housewives and stuff crystals down their bra. Is that why Carlton's boobs look so… indestructible. The crystals ward off curses and they also ward of kaftans in the form of Kyle.

Speaking of kaftans, Kyle swans over to Joyce Giraud's house where they bond over… no, not hair flips but CURSES! They've both been cursed! BFF for life: "I got cursed and all I have to show for it is this kaftan!" Kyle's computer was hacked and now it's telling her she's a bigoted travesty. Oh Kyle is a travesty, but not a bigot.

Seriously – Kyle's computer was hacked and the darling family portrait replaced with scary evil words. To get revenge, since it's totally wise to SEEK REVENGE on someone who infiltrated your computer with curses, Kyle and Joyce decide to not invite Carlton to Puerto Rico. Joyce has decided she can dig deep within her pageanted heart, however, to invite Queen of Planet Trash. Hopefully Brandi won't be offended by all the people speaking Spanish around her. And hopefully she'll be able to refrain from killing any Puerto Ricans.

Brandi has bigger issues to contend with than big hair: Lisa. She meets Rambles Richards to give her some camera time so they can spray tan together and talk about how much Lisa is a manipulative wench. Kim tells us Lisa seems like she's being nice but it's oh so not true, like that one time she asked her how sobriety was going when Lisa totally like didn't care and Kim didn't want to talk about her life while being on a reality show.

And Brandi is like yeah… and that other time she pretended to be my BEST FRIEND while employing Scheana Marie and all Brandi wanted to do was avoid thinking about her divorce while talking about it CONSTANTLY and seeking the sympathy/victim/woman scorned card at every opportunity including the time she cried all season that Adrienne Maloof was "suing" her – the poor, single, desperate, broke divorcee – and Lisa supported her? So, yeah, Brandi hates Lisa and now her tongue has swelled up from eating some rancid foot in mouth dick medication and she can't confront her, which is a good thing. Instead she's just going to let Lisa think "I'm under her control." Be careful Brandi your face might freeze all puffy-like. Oh wait…

Then Brandi tells us she always thinks and speaks for herself. I think Carlton is rubbing off on Brandi in an unsavory way because Brandi is full of contradictions and hypocrisies. Or maybe birds of a feather…

Yolanda is throwing a going away party for Gigi and of course it's at Mohamed's house. They expect us to believe Mohamed is cooking everything himself. Yolanda rushes around in a salmon-colored jumpsuit and wedge sneakers directing everyone about why David is more fabulous than Mohamed. He's not, get over it.

All the ladies arrive, except for Joyce who canceled last minute and Kim who was stroking a werepuppy and making out with a Jimmy McNichol poster while Kingsley chewed mercilessly on the Louboutins she borrowed from Kyle. It was a lovely party and Gigi made the sweetest speech. Carlton awkwardly avoided Kyle all evening and played musical chairs at the dinner table to avoid sitting next to her. I thought she had protective crystals down her bra?

Carlton leaves early because Kyle's energy is making her tan fade. As Carlton is leaving Kyle asks Brandi to hand deliver some crown that goes atop the skull necklace Kyle gave her during her America Is For Strippers party. If she wants Carlton to have it so badly she should hand it over herself?

Brandi chases Carlton down and Lisa, sniffing out some drama follows, waddling on her too-tight heels in her too-tight dress (full confession: I often despise Lisa's fashions. It's like Linda Rondstat meets Dynasty) unfortunately. She should have not involved herself in the antics of "larva" (whatever that is!).

rhobh-recap-brandi-carlton
Carlton thinks the crown is a ring. And Carlton doesn't want it because she thinks the necklace Kyle gave her has bad juju and she drowned it. I wouldn't want it because it's ugly, but ugliness has never deterred Carlton! Then Lisa states that the necklace was blue so how does the gold crown match? She also tells Carlton to accept it as a peace offering because Kyle had good intentions.

Yolanda is annoyed that Lisa (not Kyle!?) is trying to cause drama at Gigi's going away party. Carlton agrees – she does not want to have an altercation with Kyle at the party so she leaves, peacefully.

Yolanda huffs off to pry a microscopic slice of cake away from Gigi. Brandi stomps off to go tattle to Kyle that Lisa sabotaged her by telling Carlton the necklace/ring/totally-fake-ass-kissing-please-don't-curse-me-because-I'm-afraid-you'll-make-my-hair-fall-out attempt doesn't go together. Why is Kyle even trying to give a woman she can't stand and banned from a cast trip ANOTHER gift? Then Kyle gets mad at Lisa for "playing both sides of the fence."

Kyle and Brandi take turn playing Tits On an Ant with Lisa. I wonder if Snarlton is teaching classes… #CursedByCarlton They confront Lisa and then huff off in tizzies about how Lisa is meddling and awful and ruining their lives because she said the necklace was blue and the crown was gold. Lisa says she was just commenting on the items, then she invites herself to go shopping at Kaftans by Kyle Has No Taste for Puerto Rico.

Kyle doesn't want to be friends with Lisa because Lisa is tricky and sneaky, then talks ish about her to Brandi. Then when Brandi leaves, she sits next to her like nothing is wrong and whispers that Joyce's father passed away. Yolanda and Brandi overhear and wonder if the PR trip will be canceled, but no Joyce wants to still go.

The next day Lisa visits Kyle to shop. Kyle wants Lisa to apologize for making the joke that Mauricio was with a younger woman in front of Portia and Lisa snaps that she thought they had already resolved it and moved on, but Kyle doesn't feel validated. Lisa warns her, "You never will and you never have had a friend more loyal than me." And that is how you make a threat not a threat and yes, Lisa plays this game so well.

Just what we need – another study to tell us how we women can understand men

Women should wait until they are safely seated before bringing up inner thoughts and feelings with their men, according to one relationship expert.
DO you ever wonder if you and your partner are actually speaking the same language? Science has finally found the answer. The bad news is that you're probably not because men and women aren't from different planets after all. They just don't understand each other because men speak "Menglish" and women haven't even bought the phrase book.You might think Menglish is just another form of English. It certainly sounds the same. But its words and phrases are packed full of subtle little differences that cause a big breakdown in communication between the sexes. There's now an online course that will introduce you to the concept of Menglish and will heighten your awareness of the gender specific behaviours and communication styles that have been causing your misunderstandings and conflicts.

Julie-Anne Shapiro, an "international love and relationship expert" (yes this is an actual job title), says: "Men and women actually have their own unique languages. But you can learn how to approach and respond to your man in a whole new way that will bring you into synch, and bring you closer together."

One of the examples she gives is a woman trying to chat to her manabout her day on their way to a dinner date but only gets back terse, monosyllabic responses. Sound familiar? It could be because your guy is focused on actually finding the restaurant. "A man is single focused whereas a woman can do many things at once," she says. "A man will put his complete attention on one thing until he is happy with the result. Meanwhile, a woman has a huge desire for connection and feeling close to her man." Her advice? Wait until you're both safely seated in the restaurant before you bring up your inner thoughts and feelings.

Then there's the time you ask your partner for his opinion. Shapiro says: "When you ask a man for information, for his opinion or about his feelings, he will take it incredibly seriously. Therefore he will take some time to consider what he has to say. Women, on the other hand, are mostly run by their feelings and can usually express them easily – in fact it is a huge release for a woman to talk and express her feelings." She suggests always giving him 30 seconds to think about his response first.

Then the book goes totally over the top with this extraordinary piece of advice for independent women everywhere: "A man loves a receptive woman so allow him to carry your suitcase, open a door for you or run your bath. Receive his help gracefully – he wants to treat you like his queen and make you happy!"

Kyle Richards Talks Hypocrisy And Carlton Gebbia In Her Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills Bravo Blog

If Kyle Richards wrote a memoir, I'd like to think she she title it "Kaftans and Hypocrisy: The Splits Richards Story." It's got bestseller written all over it, doesn't it? The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star can't get over how hypocritical co-star Carlton Gebbia has been, yet she can't see how bad her own behavior is towards former bestie Lisa Vanderpump. I was hoping that when Kyle watched last week's episode and saw Lisa defend her to Carlton, she'd feel badly for not returning the favor when Brandi Glanville was bad mouthing Lisa. Not so much!  Why am I not surprised?

In her Bravo blog, Kyle begins, "This week is the kick off to some real craziness coming up. Buckle up! Mauricio and I received an invitation to Carlton and David's event and then after the dinner party received a 'disinvite.' I think it was a given I wouldn't go, but if Carlton felt the need to make sure I wasn't going to attend, I think the disinviting should have been directed to both Mauricio and myself. I'm not sure if she actually thought my husband would show up without me or she just wanted to add salt to the wound."

After joking about her persona as a worrywart mom and not very knowledgeable on the United States' history or government, Kyle dives right in to the Lisa digs. She writes, "Brandi and I have never been close. This year I started to get to know her better and understand her more. After Lisa and I had our falling out they became close. When Lisa and I planned the party for Ken and Mauricio we were in a better place than last year and had just started talking more frequently. I was still upset about Lisa bringing up the tabloids for everyone to hear — and in front of Portia. I felt she was pretending to be supportive while still trying to cast doubt in people's minds (like in her conversation with Ken when he defended Mauricio and she clearly didn't)."

She continues, "After the Reunion last year I didn't think we would ever be able to be friends again. It's one thing to go after me but to go after my husband and his business was totally uncalled for. When we first started this season, it was a rough start. The 'Dream Team' made it difficult for anyone to move forward. There was such a clear divide in the group. When Lisa and I planned the party for Ken and Mauricio we were just starting to mend and I was willing to move forward — cautiously. When Carlton and I had the argument at the party I was grateful that Lisa (and Brandi) saw things for what they were and that Lisa told Carlton that night and later at Carlton's party."

Yes, Lisa stood up for Kyle in last week's episode…twice, yet it barely gets a mention. Get over the damn Dream Team! I love that Kyle only has two things that she keeps bringing up repeatedly. Portia paid zero attention to Lisa's comments. She's probably heard more from her mom complaining about it!

Of her fight with Carlton, Kyle can't believe the hypocrisy. She vents, "I have to say, I had a hard time buying Carlton's tears and talking about how she can't understand 'hate' when that's is all she has shown me. It felt very hypocritical, and I felt she seemed more concerned with the anti-Semitic comment hurting business than anything else. I said it before and I will say it again, I regret not choosing my words better while in the heat of the moment. I don't think she has any regrets for the way she has treated me."

Kyle concludes, "When Brandi and I met up for our hike I had known she was having issues with Lisa, but didn't know exactly what was going on. I think Brandi came to me because she thought I could relate. Although our issues have been different,  they were with the same person. If Lisa and I were in a different place, perhaps that conversation would have gone differently. But we were still on the mend, and I could understand Brandi's frustration. We are expected to be honest about our feelings and that's what I was. I care about Lisa, but have been hurt by her as well. I still wanted to move forward and put the past behind us because we had once had a great friendship. Although, this can be a difficult group to navigate through…"

Okay, so let's get this straight. Kyle has gotten to a good enough place with Lisa to co-host a party for their husbands together, but it's not a good enough place to warrant a few kind comments when Brandi starts running her mouth? Does Kyle know the definition of "hypocrisy?"
