Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

[MrsMike]

Anyone? This one has Paris Hilton's aunts (both of whom were child stars) - oooooh....aaaaaah.

[neetling]

I watch it. It's interesting.

[gbailey]

I'm watching it. I'm finding Camille particularly annoying.

[nola79]

I have them dvr'd but haven't gotten around to watching any. I'll have to soon, heard it's good.

[akichan]

I think Kim seems particularly unstable. And yeah, about Camille, I don't know what's going on with her...

[mamalisa]

I think Kim is crazy.  All her talk about how the paparazzi told Paris that Kim was famous well before her just sounded like washed up child star holding on to her past.  It was weird.  Camille is nutty too.  Her chattering on about getting out of Kelsey's shadow...stop saying "Kelsey" every 5 minutes, that might help.

I like Kyle, she seems normal-ish.  So does Adrienne.  Taylor seems like a robot who spends a lot of money.  I love Lisa.  She's like a character from Dynasty or Falcon Crest (remember those shows!!).  

I truly love all the Housewives out there.  Except those Atlanta chicks, they are just out there.

[The Lucky One]

I love all the Housewives shows and the RHOBH is no different.

I don't think Kim is crazy. Issues, but crazy is a strong word. I think she probably suffered socially from working so much as a child, but she seems to have insight into that. I think both she and Kyle seem like great loving mothers. Lisa too.

I think Lisa is my fave. She's real, even though she's uber wealthy.

Camille, I feel sorry for her. Truth be told, I bet her self-esteem is the pits and she seems like she has truly devoted herself to Kelsy, without much real personal gratification. Yeah, she's not a very sympathetic character because of all the nannies and wealth...but down deep, I think she's really hurting and is probably a very genuine and caring person.

Adrienne (who I think is probably the wealthiest of them all), gah, I don't really relate to her. She seems more like a man in the way she acts, thinks and behaves....kind of cold and calculated. She seems very smart and driven. I don't care for the way she treats her husband. I think she tries to be a good mom.

Taylor is probably my least fave of the bunch. She seems the most shallow and insincere, but I also feel sorry for her. Her dh seems like a jerk...so emotionless and uncaring.

eta: I have no idea why I have a PG avatar!?! I'm sooooooo NOT PG!

Hehe, my av says things about being crafty...hahahahahah!!

Camille drives me crazy with her fake voice and her self-centeredness.  Seriously her mom has cancer and she keeps going on about herself.  And she fit her mom in while she was getting her nails done.  OY!

[nola79]

I finally got caught up. Camille is a real piece of work. I'm confused as to why she used a surrogate to carry her 2 children. Did she fertility issues, or was it just vanity issues??  The part where she went on and on about how much work she does drove me crazy. I mean, she has a staff, 4 nannies, etc. What exactly does she do? Why would one even need 4 nannies for school aged children? Makes no sense whatsoever.

I like Kyle. I feel bad for Kim, she seems very lonely and also I feel like she's so attatched to her kids because they're all she's got. I don't think she's crazy, though.

I love, love Lisa. She seems very genuine and down to earth, plus she's hilarious! Adrienne I also like, she seems like a real person and does not come across the way you'd expect her to, given how much money she has.

I feel for Taylor as well. Her husband seems like a major UAV and she's kind of stuck of with him, even though she doesn't expect it to last. She seems like she expects to be replaced eventually. Although I did not like the bday party for her daughter at all. It was all about Taylor, while the nanny was playing with the child away from everyone else.

Oh yes,watching this show. I watch all the RHs and this is the only one my DH can stomach. I love the british chick and her DH. They are so hilarious. Camille is out there. I think someone who lives in a gizallion square foot house plus all their other properties and has a staff to manage her almost nothing affairs, is surronded by people who tell her what she wants to hear. So the result she has no social skills, ability to make friends etc. Watching her do the cat fight while in NY, you realize she does not have any real friends or girlfriend time with other women.

Taylor is hilarious to watch, its like a train wreck. Does she have a brain up there somewhere in that 80 lb body?

[MrsMike]

 I like Kyle, Kim and Lisa. I sorta like Adrienne. Her plastic surgery is painful, but she seems real. I like the way she and her husband interact. Camille is my least favorite. The whole thing with the 4 nannies for 2 kids, all the houses and house managers....it's too much. I feel really bad for her children. I do feel bad for what's she's going through with Kelsey (and that man is CREEPY), though. That has to hurt. However, I don't think that dude she plays tennis with is "just a friend." Taylor is...plastic.

 During that whole fight with Kyle, I kept waiting for Camille to say something like, "satchels of gold," a la Kelly from RH:NYC. ;-)

[nola79]

OMG...this episode was totally wierd. Allison just creeped me out. It's not that she's a medium/psychic, it's her crazy eyes! Did anyone else notice that? I think both Kyle and Allison were at fault for the fight, although Kyle really pushed for the reading so she did ask for it.

I agree that Lisa and Adrienne are the only sane people on the show! Cr-Razy!

After not making it past one episode of this season's RHOA, I was sure I'd love RHOBH... Which I did in the beginning! But now, all I see are a handful of women with extreme emotional vulnerabilities being exploited to make good tv. I'm so distracted by trying to diagnose some of the women that I cant even follow the drama.

Just for fun, here are the symptoms of Histrionic Personality Disorder:
Is uncomfortable in situations in which he or she is not the center of attention
Interaction with others is often characterized by inappropriate sexually seductive or provocative behavior
Displays rapidly shifting and shallow expression of emotions
Consistently uses physical appearance to draw attention to themself
Has a style of speech that is excessively impressionistic and lacking in detail
Shows self-dramatization, theatricality, and exaggerated expression of emotion
Is highly suggestible, i.e., easily influenced by others or circumstances
Considers relationships to be more intimate than they actually are

[MrsMike]

How nutso was that psychic? Wonder how  this will impact her career. I just loved  that electronic cigarette - awkward!!! Wonder if she warned Camille about Kelsey?
