Adrienne is taking quite a tumble in my eyes this year. Last year she was my favorite, along with Paul. This year not so much, still liking Paul though.
She really lost me on that going to game segment. Not that she wanted to go, I completely understand why she felt she needed to be there. It was her manner of going. Her own head of security said it was going to be a security nightmare.
I took it to mean security nightmare across the board, not just where Adrienne was concerned. It just seems to me she discount not only her own safety, but the safety of everyone.....fans, players, employees and her own security team, along with her friends and family, that was going to be there that night.
She could have at least made some concessions, such as changing suites. But no, it had to her way and nothing less. Other people didn't seem to matter one wit to her. Including Paul and his feeling on the matter.

I agree with both of you BJM and BB. I started watching a bit late last year and I couldn't figure out why everyone loved Andrienne so much. She treated him terribly when his nose was all packed and all she did was make fun of him and say he was making a mountain out of molehill. OK, maybe it was just their young son who did it, but he was obviously hurt. She just always gives off the impression that's he's a nuisance to her.

my problem Biloxi is how much of it is 'manufactured' for TV? I'm started to really question the story lines - they may take something and then try and make it more "story" exciting - I may not be explaining it very well - but I keep hearing of "leaks" on how the production will tell them what they need to say for "story" or continuity... we know that reality tv isnt "real"
Did anyone see Taylor on the Dr Phil show? I know his family is really angry that Bravo is showing this season, and do not believe he abused Taylor - but even if he did, they dont think its right that he's not here to defend himself, there is just one side of the story.
It is all so very sad,

Most of these ladies seem genuinely quite well off. If money isn't their motivation for doing this, what do you think it is?

Chieko maybe they just thought it would be fun and exciting. They get to go to red carpet events and be interviewed on talk shows.
Also for the women with businesses it free publicity. Like Adrienne's casino and basketball team and Lisa's restaurants, etc.
Reader234 Taylor is broke. She really has no choice, but to make as much money as she can right now. Her husband left her with a HUGE financial mess and a young daughter to raise. She will do many paid interviews and write a book as well. They are talking about her anyways, she might as well get paid.

I never even knew Adrienne Maloof existed before watching this show. Whenever they talk about the Kings in Sacramento, it's always "the Maloof brothers." I didn't even know they had a sister!

Last nights show was really sad about Kim. She really has a problem and to me it looked like she was high on something and I don't think it was alcohol

Did anyone notice when Kyle was giving her speech at the cancer fundraiser that her hair was down..and then she handed the mic to her husband and her hair was pulled back..and he gave his speech and then her hair was down again for pics w/friends. If you still have it, check it out. I think they must have had her redo her speech or something..cause it seems empty and quiet- even the mike sounds different. Not a big deal- just something I noticed.

I didn't notice it Rubyroo. I DID notice how catty the women were at the party. You can put them in million dollar environments but cheap and ugly is still cheap and ugly. I would survive 4 seconds in that group.

I noticed that they only raised $15K...I wonder how much is actually going to go to charity after they pay for the cost of the benefit...

I was thinking the same thing, Rehtse. This fundraising rouse is too much BS. Although if the venue and food/drinks were donated maybe they did make money. 15K isn't chump change but in the scope of Beverly Hills charitable functions it's really a pittance. We do a small fundraiser every year for a non profit after school center and we bring in a lot more $$$$$ than 15k, I think this function was a flop money-wise.
The cattiness I saw last night should really be embarrassing to those ladies, but somehow I don't think they'll see it that way.

I used to work at a private school in Marin County. They had an auction every year to raise money for the the school, and they would usually raise about $60 or $80k just among the parent population. (Rich people!) A good auctioneer can really increase the amount of money people will donate. They get caught up in the excitement and the checkbooks loosen up substantially, especially with the presence of alcohol.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought 15k was a small amount for the area.

36 years ago in the 80's my small elementary school raised 25,000 dollars selling candy bars. So ya I thot 15K was an awkward amount considering it was held in Beverly Hills in 2011, kinda shameful.
It makes me wonder if Bravo didn't have Kyle throw the charity party as a last minute event to give Kyle and the others some air time. Like a filler instead of a real event.

I wondered that, too. There are a lot of people who might not go to something like that because they would think it was tacky to be on a TV show. That may be why it didn't do better.

Kim, go straight to rehab and don't stop for the intervention. It seems like she either has a substance abuse issue or is mentally unhealthy either way she needs help...and Bravo anin't gunna help ya, dear.

And her sister isn't helping the situation either.
The way they treated Brandi (who I like) was so 7th grade. Kim may have been under the influence and will say that she doesn't remember, but there is no excuse for Kyle's behavior.
And I'm totally not digging Dana. I'm already over her saying how much she paid for something or what designer she is wearing.

I haven't seen the whole thing yet; my DVR went wonky on me. What I did see led me to wonder if the doctor she went to that day gave her some anti-anxiety drugs, which could explain her behavior.
Then again, maybe she was just wasted...
(I don't care for either Brandi or Dana, but oddly I've warmed up to Camille!)

Lexie, once again you and I are totally on the same page! Kim and Kyle totally came off as Jr High b*tches, and Dana was right in there. I'm not okay with inviting someone into your home and then being so rude to them. A hostess should make sure everyone is comfortable. Brandi was anything but as soon as she came into the house. And for Kim to hide her crutches from her? Really? WTH?

Kim is OBVIOUSLY abusing pharmaceuticals! SO obvious. I like that Kyle said in her blog that all she needed that night was a broom and a wart on her nose. She admitted how bad her behavior was.

I think alot of them came off looking bad tonight. If you are trying to fit in why on first meeting would you accuse a person of being on drugs in front of everyone? Kim and Kyle really?
IMO Brandi was hired to stir things up and she is very good at her job.

BJM, I'm totally with you on Dana. How RUDE to invite someone into your home and then allow them to be treated like that by other guests.
I also read on the Bravo blogs that Kim was TWO HOURS late for that party!!!

Prisoner, I actually started warming up to Camille late in the last season. After seeing what she went through with Kelsey, I kind of "got" what she was going through and how it affected her relationships. Camille seems to be in a much better place right now.

Brandi didn't start on the sisters until much later in the night. To start,Brandi was pretty much ignored when she arrived and when Kyle and Kim found out they were on the same team as Brandi, they not only ignored her they flat out said they didn't want to be on her team. If I was in Brandi's shoes, I do believe I would have just gotten up and left and let them know why I was leaving. And every time Kim got up to go to the bathroom, she took her purse, who does that??
