Halloween & Russell Armstrong
So, Bravo you don't show Russell Armstrong all season out of respect, but somehow the dead husband shows up on the Halloween episode of the show? I'm not sure that is appropriate at all. Of course whenever you have Kim Richards on the show, then what is inappropriate and what is not kind of goes right out the window. How can anyone believe she is not on something, and was that a Halloween costume her boyfriend was wearing or was he specifically going for the troll look?
You have to love an episode where we get to go to Mohammad's house. I thought the guy sold the house, but maybe it was not until after the engagement party. You know your house is big and you have a lot of money when you have a big top circus tent in your ballroom. "Do you want me to set up the tent outside sir?" "No, just set it up inside the ballroom."
So, Mark Wahlberg is a client of Paul? A little face lift for Marky Mark? A little nip tuck? Who calls someone during surgery? Well, Paul and his comment about the mattress in the secret sex room saves him. Oh, and Adrienne washing a chicken with soap is priceless. At least she pretends to be normal and that she can actually cook.
Kyle wins the fake dramatics award. Yes, your mother-in-law looks awful, but no, she is not going to die. She just had surgery to her face. Do you expect her to look like sunshine and 12 years old?
I will just skip the part about having 200 people to your house for your child's 5th birthday party. It is obviously not about your child as you claim, but attention for yourself, and your child be damned.
Did we really have to have dinner with Russell and Taylor? On Halloween?
I think Bravo should immediately hire the woman who calls her husband Daddy. The way she got drunk and made all the other wives horribly uncomfortable is much better than Dana.
The dancing on the tables thing was too much, "Hey look at me," by Kyle that of course Taylor "Look At Me Too" had to get involved and then Camille, "Take A Look At Me And I Will Get Naked If I Have To" joined in. Way over the top.

Well put, enty.
I felt kind of nauseated seeing Russell. What happened to Bravo cutting the footage of him??
How is it possible that Kim had a boyfriend for a year and no one knew??
I remember Adrienne name dropping Mark Wahlberg before so that wasn't surprising. Maybe I saw that on Twitter though?
Kyle was a little over the top but the MIL did look scary!
Re: Kennedy's party, The cake lady said it best... "200 of her closest friends?" Please.
I would last about five minutes in a room with these ladies. ;)
my jaw literally dropped when i saw kim's new BF's face. OMG. he looks like a serial killer.
and did anyone else notice how many times that guy sniffed during that segment? hmmmmm......
I love Paul. He is one of the most redeeming parts of the show.
My favorite Kim moment so far has been in an interview where she's talking about the Palm Springs house, and she basically is trying to throw up gang signs by the end. It was really weird. She is totally on something, and it is very uncomfortable to watch.
I missed last night's ep but the chicken washing was last week, no? And about that? Damn, even the most naive person would not think to wash a raw chicken with soap! C'mon, Adrienne, we get that you don't know (or don't have to know) how to cook, clean, etc., but washing a chicken with SOAP?? Jeez.
What substance could make someone act like that? Coke wouldn't do that... Pills and drinking? Just pills? I am confused by Kim's behaviour.
On another note, I watched the movie Halloween last night and almost fell out of my chair when I saw Kyle's name. I had forgotten that she was the little girl in that movie.
Let's talk about the cranked out her mind mermaid! That and the looks on Camille/Taylor's faces was priceless.
As far as Kim's bf, he set of my gaydar.
I really cannot stand Kyle. She is so disgusting.
I think "boyfriend" translates to "dealer" in this episode. Yikes!
@NotSo - totally agree! That mermaid was beyond cracked out.
Yeah. That mermaid was more effed up than Kim on her worst days. Someone was snorting some poolside booger sugar, for sure. Also, since when do mermaids do The Worm?
But if Russell was a wife beater, why does he garner SO much sympathy from you, Enty? And he WAS complicit in being filmed, you know; it's not as if those cameras were hidden or anything. I also don't think the fact that this episode aired on Halloween has that much to do with the amount of airtime they gave him in this episode. The shows are edited a particular way, and it just so happens that a now-dead dude appeared on the Halloween edition. If he showed up on Thanksgiving or Christmas (which he probably will), you'd probably have a problem with that, too. Either way, the man *agreed* to appear on the show, probably knew he didn't come across as very likable, and was still compensated for simply being himself. Some of us wish we were so lucky.
I guess the editors wanted to show the awkwardness of announcing a separation at a dinner party. Uh, and by the way: WTF? I would have seriously gotten up and left if I were Kyle and Mauricio. No one needs to be subjected to that kind of social weirdness.
I was also horrified by the facelift scene. Good. God. I couldn't have stayed in the room either. I couldn't even watch through the fingers covering my eyes.
At any rate, back to Russell: I think it's always sad when a person finds it impossible to work through his problems and chooses to end his own life, but it's ridiculous to call out Omar Sharif for slapping a woman and martyr this dude a day later. Come on.
I still can't believe I watch this shit, but it's a good way to unwind at night, and it sure beats Two and a Half Men (another show with a wife-beater! Whaddya know?)
Oh, and I thought the boyfriend was more toad-like than troll-like, but I also grimaced when I saw his face. Yikes.
@KLM - I watched it last night too and totally missed that! I didn't realize that the director of that movie also did Escape to L.A. which I watched recently whilst extremely hungover, which I believe is the only way to tolerate that movie.
@NotSoAnonMom - The mermaid!! hahaha!
You know what's exciting? I found the RHO... online, for free! Now I don't have to wait a year for Canadian t.v to catch up. I just watched episode 2 of this season of Bev Hills and I have to say that I COMPLETELY co-sign Lisa when she said that Taylor is manipulative and trying to pull Kyle into her web. TOO TRUE!
I think Kim has gotta be on some crazy pills- her behavior is too too erratic to not be enhanced by something.
That being said, I feel the most sorry for her- something about her just reads like she's been fucked over, by men, by hollywood, who knows? But a woman doesnt become that fragile and emotionally unstable without a good reason, and I cant judge her too harshly believing that.
It's gotten to the point that whenever I see Kyle I prepare to grimace- she is so underhanded mean that it's like seeing a snake and knowing at any time it's about to spring into action.
I bet Taylor and Dana are capable of doing their own little female ponzi scheme- they both come off as sleazy, wannabe classy, and lacking empathy for others who cant help them.
Marky Mark getting plastic surgery isnt a shock- but it is disappointing. I've noticed his face looks harder and stretched taut for awhile now. Its a shame- he is still in his 30s...why so vain Marky?
Count me amongst Ida here- so they showed asshole Russell- so what? If we edited down every person on tv posthumously who killed themselves a TON of people wouldnt be on the screen anymore. But I will admit that I watched Russell and Taylor super closely- now that we know wht we do about the two of them, its interesting to see their dynamic.
I have this DVR'ed back home (I'm a hundred miles away, aargh) and can't' wait to get back. Thanks for the comments everyone, it gives me a dozen things to look for when I get home Friday and start watching.
I'm only a few minutes into the epi on my DVR. But the fact that Russell is on the epi doesn't bother me in the least. He's glaringly absent from the first few episodes, which is probably why so much time has been devoted to Adrienne's chicken washing. Yawn, anyone?!
Can we talk about her spa day from last week? First of all, that spa setup in her house is BANANAS. Could you imagine having all that equipment right down your hallway?
The wealth of these women boggles my brain, well the wealth of Lisa, Camille and Adrienne.
IMO, Adrienne is an example of plastic surgery gone awry. She's so bizarre looking. She has the face of a 60-year old and the body of a 25-year-old, and what is she really, in her 40s? Why people want to look like that is beyond me.
Kim Richards is so on something. She makes me way more uncomfortable than Russell, because it's so evident that the whole cast knows that she's using but nobody wants to say anything except for Brandy.
Dana sucks.
The performers at the engagement party were all such attention whores, eye f*cking the camera. Dear lord. Ohh to be an aspiring actress in LA.
Why did Julia (Mohamed's fiancee) change dresses?
Paul is my favorite part of this show. No question.
@Nancer- I was completely distracted by the constant sniffing from Kim's bf. Very very bizarre scene.
reading this post reminds me why i do not watch this particular season. what a nightmare.
Either Brandi comes back (she's the only one I like & who tells it like it is) or its getting pulled from the DVR. The RHOA previews made me realize how lame BH is.
@AK and Julia's dress: I wondered the same thing, too! Maybe she had a romp in the secret bedroom during the party ;-)
The mermaid was just CREEPY!
I still say it's meds and not illegal drugs that are Kim's bane.
And I say WTF cares that Mauricio's mom is getting a facelift?!?!?! Loved the look on Kyle's face, tho, when she thought "Am I next?" in tabloid separation news at the dinner party. She is one m-f Mean Girl!!!
1. I'm glad Russell was finally on an episode.
2. The dinner party was AWKWARD! I actually rewinded it to watch it twice. Russell and Taylor could barely tolerate each other, and then you had Kyle and Mauricio being way TOO cuddly.
3. $2,000 for a child's birthday cake for 200 of her closest friends? Really Taylor??????
4. The coked out mermaid was hysterical to watch, but the looks of the ladies was even better.
5. I love Paul!
6. Kim is just such a train wreck to watch, but the first glance of the "boyfriend" was scary! Eeek! And then it was funny when she kept saying that it was going to be difficult introducing him to her family because they are so judgemental. Ummm . . . yah! I can just imagine introducing him to Kyle/Mauricio and Kathy/Rick Hilton. Bwahahaha! I hope the cameras are rolling at that meeting.
Can't wait to watch Atlanta tonight.
was Kim hinting that her boyfriend is a mail man? She just said I met him at my mailbox and I had seen him a few times. I think that is why she is afraid her family will hate him since he has no big bucks behind him. Like the rest, he has a face only a mother or cracked out Kim can love.
Seeing Russell was disturbing. He already looked like he was off the hinge mentally. Kyle & Maurico "flaunting" their love was in such poor taste knowing the problem taylor had with russell.
Thank Gods the producers got the negative feedback and we had less then 2 minutes of Dana.
Bring back Brandi.
I think Lisa and the whole engagement/wedding storyline is such a snore. I'm guessing they had to ramp that up since they had to cut all the Russell footage. In any case, I wouldn't mind in the least if they cut her from the show. She may be beautiful but she's B-O-R-I-N-G.
I think once the Mermaid ditched her tail, she came inside and I believe it was she I saw sliding down the railing! Did any of y'all catch that, too?! Freaking bizarro.
And I just figure Julia changes clothes ten times a day on that budget!
Kyle--no manners whatsoever, in any situation at all. Makes me think less of Mauricio, who has seemed like a great guy IMO.
Paul--LOVE him! He's my fave, too.
Wonder how Mohamed got his bucks...?
Lastly--who else thinks Ken always seems put-down, put-off or hurt by Lisa lately?
@selenakyle i am nearly crying i am laughing so hard - what the FUCK was up with the random shot of her sliding down that rail screaming WOOHOO!??
i am working from home today and just realized this is on right now. after reading all of these comments, dvr'ed for a second inspection!
@ Susan - If Adrienne does one more thing to her face she really will look like that Madame puppet. Her own husband is a plastic surgeon and I wish he would pull the reins on her tomfoolery with her face, but it's be made clear that she doesn't listen to him.
And Paul, he's a plastic surgeon for cryin' out loud so we know he is educated but DAMN if he doesn't look like some hirsute Mafioso goon who says "dees", "dem" and "does".
"dose"
Her mounting the table made me think that Kyle Richards is the Theresa Giudice of Beverly Hills ("If it's not Theresa's moment, it's nobody's moment!") Meanwhile, Theresa Giudice is now the Danielle Staub of New Jersey.
@selenakyle....I read on Gawker that his mother is the founder of Danon Yogurt. But given the source, the comment may have been more tongue in cheek
Hahaha Robert - that is funny.
So I finally watched last night's episode. It was pretty funny. Kim's boyfriend was, ah, surprising...
When I saw the back of Kim's boyfriends head... I immediately jumped out of my seat and said "She's dating TOM SIZEMORE????"
Then when the camera showed his face, I thought "He's worse than Tom Sizemore!!!"
So that's her drug dealer and she has sex with him to pay for the drugs. Great. Kyle is gonna love this.
