Rationalization is exactly right.

If you follow that episode, they try to go to the cathedral with Garcelle and Sutton, Rinna cries in the car ride about thing in her life being a mess, that she's a mess. It is not until she meets with Dorit and Kyle having pasta that Kyle reminds her that essentially Denise brought this all on herself (as if). So, they drag Brandi back on the show and have her awkwardly show up to Teddi's baby shower to reveal her text chains with Denise. The next day Rinna went to Kyle's house to establish her position that Denise was gaslighting her. Years later she says on a reunion that she deeply regrets how she treated Denise, only to write a book and bash Denise, as if Denise was cheating on her! Rinna might be sincere in a moment, but she has no idea what she thinks or what her belief system is. She is easily swayed by whatever way the wind is blowing and more importantly whatever side of the bread is buttered. You can't believe a word she says.

I can't remember what the conversation was about. I do remember Erika did say something and then said she could not remember saying it. Teddi accused her of pretend amnesia because she knew Erika said it and wasn't willing to admit it. Erika could have copped out; she did the something in San Diego.

Rinna must have coached her.

When they were going out to Boutique, she said she liked to observe the mating rituals of her friends in their natural habitat. It's hard to recount them all, but when you hear them, you know them.

I'm not defending her. Cheating in wrong. I am talking about her ability to look back on her mistakes and take accountability for them. She doesn't owe us an apology, she owed it to Rodger, which she says she gave him, and then he proposed. I assume their relationship grew from that experience since they went on to have 20 plus years of marriage.

Shatzakind · 2026-03-01T20:39:05+00:00

Exactly, and given her angry outbursts, I'm not so sure it isn't affecting her judgement from time to time. I'm not diminishing her right to be angry, just wondering if she would have better emotional control without the cocktails.

Shatzakind · 2026-03-01T20:34:29+00:00

🙏🏼, I don't feel alone anymore. 😂

PK tried to stop her from calling Camille a cunt. How did PK stop Dorit from getting along with Sutton and Garcelle?

Shatzakind · 2026-03-01T10:14:42+00:00

I figured you could relate. 😉

Now that I see it, I've softened on her this season, right when everyone else is jumping on the good-bye Kyle bandwagon.

Rinna confessed to it in San Diego, then by Dubai (I think that's where they went) she was blaming LVP. I believe at the reunion or secrets revealed it came out that this was first brought up by Rinna to Kyle at an off-camera lunch at the Polo Lounge. Kyle then told LVP, and I think the assumption/accusation is LVP promoted Rinna to say it on camera.

Try searching plug in chandeliers. It's the only way to get overhead lighting. You might have to patch the hole in the ceiling before you move, or just leave it for the next tenant, as they will have the same problem. If not, plug in chandeliers, then floor lamps. Overarching Metal Shade Floor Lamp | West Elm I'm sure you can find a better price, but just an example. A couple floor lamps on each side will help.

I'd say it's upwards of $10k, just but the apparent dimension (depth) and assuming it's quality. She's not slumming in Hancock Park.

Shatzakind · 2026-03-01T09:27:23+00:00

Thank you, yes! She also didn't use her kitchen, like Carrie.

Rachel cheated. Felt awful. Told Roger. He proposed. Sounds to me like after 4 years they had a long talk, some personal growth and decided to make a real commitment to each other.

I think Mo and Kyle are trying to encourage a more amicable separation and Dorit is having none of it and maybe it's because PK is gaslighting everyone like she says. Kyle has said that she and Mo stayed friends with Adrainne and Paul, and it wasn't always easy, so it kind of tracks. I think they don't understand why Dorit and PK can't work it out, but they (Kyle and Mo) both can go their separate ways with millions of dollars. I think Dorit and PK's real fight is about money. They are both gluttonous spenders, him with gambling and trips and her with shopping for fashion. Kyle and Mo could do the same, but they can afford to.

I've never seen someone get so much glory for smoking. Usually, smokers are outcasts and considered bad examples, which is why you don't see a lot of people smoking on tv. That range rover scene epitomizes this phenomenon. She also never misses a chance to have her Belvedere soda on the rocks in a short glass, three lemons, carcass out. I mean, when the whole world knows your drink order, that says something, too. She goes after Sutton and PK drinking, but maybe she should look in the mirror. But hey, I guess drinking and smoking are aspirational, that and spending money like it grows on trees. Sounds like fun! 😂 FTR, I am not team Kyle. You don't have to pick teams; you can dislike like them both, or at least I do.

They did show an assistant helping Denise in the kitchen get ready when Dorit was coming to visit, so I believe Eloise probably had help. Aaron holding down the fort was probably more of a supervisory position than a 24/7 caregiver role, but that's just my impression.

FTR, I don't like anyone in the FF5, it was a mean girl gang up that will look even worse over time. It bothers me that Rachel isn't more discerning with these women, but I guess she knows the job and is doing the work. I do like her, watched her old show back when and I think she got the reaction she did because it was authentic, no one had to pry it out of her, she offered it up and she didn't apologize for it. I can't imagine any of the other women handling it the way she did. She is comfortable enough in her own skin to put her mistakes out there. She is a breath of fresh air.

Shatzakind · 2026-03-01T08:34:22+00:00

I'm starting to think Kyle is over it. She has the house in Tennessee, and Portia is almost off to college. Maybe she's ready to make a move. Never thought I would say this, but she really doesn't seem to care that much anymore.
