This week on our favorite show,Rich Women Doing Things, the rich women do things.
What is her name?
The lady, apparently.
just inches away rubbing their blubber on one another.
This episode is like a Kathy Hilton greatest-hits compilation.
Which brings me to my point: Kathy Hilton is a full-time Housewife.
She is a friend-of in name only.
They are shown only in relation to the full-time women.
Kathy picks a great hotel for them to visit.
Well, it is an empty hotel whose rooms are decorated in a sort of outdated country-club chic.
This place is all Colonial furniture with brocade upholstery and patterned wallpaper on top of walnut chair rails.
Its one gold toilet and a COVID outbreak away from being Mar-a-Lago.
The location is a little weird, but even stranger is the transportation they use to get there.
Couldnt they at least pair up so they can talk shit about one another on the drive?
When theyre at dinner, everyone is going around the table talking about how they feel.
Kathy says, I feel anxious because I sense there is some unresolved tensions.
Like that line was fed to her through an earpiece.
Get the women talking; get them cracking on about their problems and gripes.
Excellent work, Kathy.
Instead of trying to temper how she acts at Kyles dinner, she doubles down on it.
I dont care that she felt threatened, she tells the group.
She should feel threatened.
This is exactly the wrong tactic to take.
This comes up again at the dinner after Kathys comment.
I have nothing to say to you.
The insistence on shutting down Sutton isnt helping Erika, especially considering that Sutton is on the show.
Its her job to listen to what Sutton has to say.
This whole enterprise is built on conflict and conflict resolution.
If she cant pretend to want to resolve it, then it is not serving the formula.
Its like making a souffle and then refusing to put it in the oven.
I get that shes concerned about him, but he could end up somewhere worse very soon.
Instead of being in a home, he could be in prison.
Thats a likely possibility and deserved if he did the things hes been accused of.
I wonder how she feels now that shes had time to reflect.
Objectively, it doesnt look like the right reaction, but whatisthe right reaction?
Is there such a thing?
And if we react incorrectly in the moment, can that ever be fixed?
The other crazy thing that happens is a fight between Dorit and Garcelle that I dont entirely understand.
If thats the way Garcelle feels, that is the way she feels, rational or otherwise.
Garcelle is telling her truth; theyre just not listening to her.
She says this feels like it felt with Denise last year.
Garcelle finally gets there, but it is a lot different from what they think.
Do you ever walk into a room and feel like youre the only one who doesnt belong?
Yes, Kathy Hilton says in response.
Breaking into tears, Garcelle shoots back, Try doing that your entire life.
Thats the tweet or, in this case, the emotional heart of the matter.
Well, except for maybe Kathy Hilton.
