Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 11 - the downfall of Erica Girardi

[Deedoubleyou]

Is anyone up to date on RHOBH? I can't believe these women (except Sutton and Garcelle) are so scared of Erica that they seem to be giving her a pass on this?

[happilybemused]

I assume Erika was suggesting Tom would sue Sutton. As he is completely incapacitated with dementia how would that work ?

[MommaWeasley]

I don't believe Erika, I did at the start but then she had that conversation with Kyle where she stated she has no contact with Tom, he wouldn't phone her or be in touch & she has heard nothing but then tells Crystal & Garcelle Tom is calling her every single day

[happilybemused]

Erika got annoyed because Sutton consulted a lawyer saying her situation had no impact on Sutton. That she had small town mentality for caring what other people thought.

Then at the dinner she proved herself completely wrong by telling Sutton that she could be sued by Tom for her expressing disbelief.

I’m finding this season fascinating. Am loving seeing Kathy’s house and she’s a welcome addition, love how she’s coming across.

As an aside, I still can’t quite believe that Kyle was in one of my favourite films when I was a kid. God knows why, I watched it again a couple of years ago for nostalgia and it was blooming rubbish 😂. But as a kid, I found it really scary - Watcher In The Woods, with Bette Davis.

I see to really like Erica, but this season is definitely changing my mind.

Not sure if this will work but Eileen and Lisa R back on the soap circuit.

Can't help but feel the line about having some bread and chilling out was a blatant copy of Kim Richards 😀

Erika is awful.I really can't stand how she speaks to Sutton, but she has form. Remember her laying into ?Dorit in Hong Kong.

Kathy is quite good value, and I don't mind her because we have her to thank for the glorious image of Erika eating caviar pie and then crying one stony faced tear about her very sad life.

Crystal is not a nice person. She dislikes Sutton because she is "awkward". How fucking high school. She is a mean girl.

I don't think I'd be friends with any of this lot other than Garcelle and Sutton. And maybe Kathy as then she might share some of whatever she is on.

[EachandEveryone]

Is Kathy on something? I just thought that’s how she as. Crystal thinks she’s too cool for them.

[Polly99]

Who knows? She certainly seems mildly (and rather pleasantly) looped to me.

[happilybemused]

Looking at the preview for next week there's another dubious story from Erika.

Old, feeble Tom confronts a burglar and ends up having eye surgery.

Then her policeman son went to help him and ended up rolling his car five times on the way home.

There are so many questions.

Love it this season - most of the other HW's have struggled for storylines because of covid but BH has been good (Saltlake city looks like it'll be good - for similar reasons!).

Not sure if it's been mentioned but one of the reasons I think Sutton has been worried about how it would look for her is because when Erika originally filed for divorce Sutton offered her a loan to get her settled and help with legal expenses. That would have been before the embezzling info started coming out. I saw it on the deleted scenes although I have no idea why Bravo wouldn't air it in the normal episodes because it really backs up Sutton worrying about how she could be affected! She offered financial aid to a friend only to find she is mixed up in a huge scam!

[HeronLanyon]

Well it certainly
All trundled on last night with everyone behaving in character except for
DORIT - found her some and her voice !
PK - was flabbergasted but I agreed with every word he said and he said it well. Obvs it was a puff piece trying to portray himself a strong talented or manager after his billion (he did say billion didn’t he ? - not something I’d brag about personally) bankruptcy. Nevertheless he ponded rational and dorit got to gaze adoringly at her ‘Pe Kae’

[HeronLanyon]

And without derailing the thread Salt Lake City returns Monday - even more dramatic I’m thinking. Explosive trailer and not just shah related.

What a time to be alive.

One of the episodes was held back for 10 days (I think it was episode 5 or 6), and I suspect the deleted scenes you're referring to were cut due to either Erika or Sutton's lawyer's request, and were able to be played at a later date which is when you got to see them

[Uptoongirl]

@sansucre that makes sense, I can well imagine Sutton realising she had offered money to someone implicated in such a horrific scam and getting her lawyers involved. I do hope Andy brings it up at the reunion as I think a lot of the audience wouldn't be aware and it does add an extra dimension to Sutton's worries. The ladies should know though so I don't understand why they are being so hard on her when she was talking about her reputation.

Lisa R is really pissing me off, I know she is up Erika's arse anyway but her whole not remembering anything about the dinner party is bollocks. Yes maybe she was a bit pissed but unless I was wasted I would remember someone kicking off like Erika did at Sutton. She just said she couldn't remember so she didn't have to say it was out of line to hiss at and threaten Sutton.

Love the way Kyle and Sutton just casually bought those £3/4K rings like most people would buy a top from M&S. I wish they would show a bit more of this side of the HW's rather than just the gatherings and arguments.

General consensus on Twitter is that it’s a very sad state of affairs when “Pea Kay” is the voice of reason and you can’t help but agree with him!

Personally I’ll always struggle with that/him as I just look at the value of my old HBOS shares (currently about 43p) and think back to the days of when they were at least £6. Obviously Pea Kay wasn’t the reason why HBOS collapsed, but they loaned him £750million, of which I think hardly any was repaid, as he went bankrupt.

And not derailing but bring on Monday and Jen Shah! Bravo must be loving all the infamous housewives

Oooh was this when he went bankrupt? So was that in the UK?

[Justfivemoreminutesplease]

@MrsRockAndRoll don’t think so - HBOS went almost under in 2009. That’s when Pea Kay’s company also went into administration but according to the internet he didn’t go bankrupt until 2012, but that’s in the US. I don’t know if you can be made bankrupt in the U.K. and still carry on and get finance in the US?? I’ll ask him / Doritto on Twitter…

[Justfivemoreminutesplease]

And I like this….

Yeah, I don’t buy Rinna being pissed either, she’s very careful with alcohol.

Interesting about Sutton and the loan, it would explain a lot.

[happilybemused]

I'm currently watching New Jersey and it is interesting how differently Theresa behaved during her legal problems. Theresa was genuinely devastated and didn't discuss her issues just that she was distressed about the affect it was having on her children.

Erika doesn't help herself by coming across as cold and aggressive. She is telling all and contradicting herself all the time. She is not even concerned how any of this may affect her son.

Two very different approaches. I can't say I feel she has done herself any favours

[Uptoongirl]

Just caught up on the latest episode...Erika's stories are getting crazier and crazier! It's not even so much that the content is unbelievable but her delivery is off. She monotoned about her son rolling his car, this is the woman who went batshit at Eileen for mentioning her son (love Eileen!) and she said he rolled his car as if it was a small fender bender!

PK was hilarious at Kyle's dinner! I know Dorit and Kyle are saying they believe Erika but I don't think they do. I want to know what Harry Hamlin thinks about it - or is he just swallowing what Rinna is telling him?

[escapeyou]

I’m just on episode 7 after Harry cooked dinner for them all. So far loving Kathy. She has some fabulous one liners. Obviously more to come from Erika because at the moment everything she is saying is realistic. I am really liking Sutton. I am really not liking Crystal.

[escapeyou]

Oh god, I want to go to Kathy’s for dinner.

[Buttons294749]

Oooh so glad I've found this!
I'm about an episode or 2 behind, finding it difficult tbh to be too invested as they all overly protect their images and the raw drama of the early seasons has gone imo.

I fully think Erika is guilty. Tom said to her one day "game's up, take your money and run"

Rhinna is shady and manipulative and I want her gone, at least Eileen kept her in check a bit

Crystal - I didn't mind her (I mean she s a massive bitch but that can be good TV!) But she s a bit boring and an anti vaxxer so I'm over her.

Garcelle is queen! That is all I have to say
