All the Past and Present RHOBH Housewives Ranked

Many Housewives have come and gone in the 13 years Real Housewives of Beverly Hills has been on the air. And while some RHOBH ladies have solidified their place in the Bravo Hall of Fame, others left us asking, “Who?” Not every housewife is created equal, so we decided to rank them. Here are all the RHOBH Housewives ranked from worst to best.

Kathryn Edwards (Worst)

(Watch What Happens Live/YouTube)

Kathryn Edwards was a one-hit wonder on RHOBH. She only lasted one season before the network gave her the boot, Us Weekly reported. Her arc on the show was short-lived and mostly forgettable despite having a pretty juicy backstory.

Her feud with Faye Resnick and her connection to the OJ Simpson trial did make for a couple of compelling episodes, but overall we weren’t impressed with her performance on the show.

Joyce Giraud

(Joyce Giraud/Instagram)

Joyce Giraud was another one-season housewife. The beauty queen joined the cast for Season 4 but was sadly driven out of town by an angry mob led by Brandi Glanville. Kidding!

Joyce spent most of her time on RHOBH fighting with Brandi, who made it her personal mission to haze the new girl. Their rift (based on nothing) got old and wasn’t fun to watch. Joyce seems lovely but wasn’t the right fit for the show.

Diana Jenkins

(Diana Jenkins/Instagram)

All we can say is, “Eh.” Diana Jenkins joined RHOBH for Season 12 but did not return for Season 13.

The 50-year-old caused unnecessary drama and didn’t feel like a natural fit in the group. However, Erika Jayne hijacking Diana’s boyfriend’s performance of “O Holy Night” will forever be one of our favorite moments.

Carlton Gebbia

(Carlton Gebbia/Instagram)

Carlton Gebbia was the first and last Wiccan to appear on RHOBH. Honestly, we liked Carlton. She was funny, her house was insane, and she wasn’t afraid to fight with the OGs. Unfortunately, she did not blend well with the group, so she only lasted one season. We didn’t see enough of Carlton to place her higher on this list. 

Annemarie Wiley

(Annemarie Wiley/Instagram)

Annemarie Wiley is the newest addition to RHOBH. She joined the cast for Season 13. So far, we’ve only seen her question Sutton Stracke‘s medical history and suck up to Kyle Richards. However, we have faith that she will be a good housewife. She’s fun and isn’t afraid to stir the pot.

Adrienne Maloof

(Adrienne Maloof/Instagram)

Adrienne Maloof helped kick off the show in 2010. She was one of the original diamond holders and lasted three seasons before departing from the series. Adrienne’s OG status instantly makes her an icon, but when we really look at her performance on the show, we’re underwhelmed.

Teddi Mellencamp

(Teddi Mellencamp/Instagram)

Teddi Mellencamp was a divisive character on RHOBH. Some fans loved her, others thought she was bringing down the show. Overall, she didn’t stick out as much as some other women.

Eileen Davidson

(Watch What Happens Live/YouTube)

Eileen Davidson joined RHOBH in Season 5 as the beautiful soap opera star who knew Lisa Rinna. The actress was present for some of the most iconic RHOBH moments, including the infamous Amsterdam dinner party where Kim Richards called her a beast.

Eileen was likable, smart, and normal. But unfortunately, being normal is the kiss of death for a Real Housewife. She usually responded to situations reasonably and gracefully, which was boring for viewers.

Crystal Kung Minkoff

(Crystal Kung Minkoff/Instagram)

Crystal Kung Minkoff came in hot when she joined the cast for Season 11. Who could forget when Sutton dragged her for her “ugly leather pants?” But since then, she’s taken a backseat. She’s rarely involved in drama anymore. We’re hoping Crystal steps it up next season.

Denise Richards

(Denise Richards/Instagram)

Denise Richards was a fun addition to RHOBH. We loved learning more about her personal life and her marriage to Charlie Sheen. However, Denise seemed to have a lot of rules on RHOBH. Certain topics felt entirely off-limits, and viewers sensed she wasn’t being transparent about her life.

Taylor Armstrong

(Taylor Armstrong/Instagram)

Taylor Armstrong was an OG RHOBH star and helped make the show what it is today. The Kansas native was going through hell in her marriage but still delivered some unforgettable TV moments.

Yolanda Hadid

(Yolanda Hadid/Instagram)

Yolanda Hadid felt like a natural fit for the group, which made her a great housewife. She seemed to form real friendships with the women, most notably Kim and Brandi. Yolanda gave the show new energy and wasn’t afraid to stick up for herself. Yolanda’s journey ended on a sour note, with Lisa Rinna accusing her of having Munchausen syndrome, but we choose to remember the fun moments.

Dorit Kemsley

(Dorit Kemsley/Instagram)

Dorit Kemsley has earned her flowers. The mother-of-two has given us some truly iconic moments during her time on RHOBH. We love her long-winded speeches and her truly impossible-to-place accent. She’s just a joy.

Garcelle Beauvais

(Garcelle Beauvais/Instagram)

Garcelle Beauvais feels like the Carrie Bradshaw of RHOBH right now. She’s single, fun, and giving serious main character energy. We love her friendship with Sutton and her relationship with her two sons. She’s unproblematic, beautiful, and a confessional queen. What more could you ask for?

Camille Grammer

(Watch What Happens Live/YouTube)

Camille Grammer hosted the dinner party from hell, so of course, she’s going to be high on this list. Camille is the OG villain of RHOBH. Her feud with Kyle will always be iconic. And who could forget when she said, “The morally corrupt Faye Resnick.” Legend.

Sutton Stracke

(Sutton Stracke/Instagram)

Sutton Stracke’s journey from outcast to fan favorite has been a whirlwind. The Georgia native has done a total 180 since her rough first season. Everything Sutton says is hilarious, and she’s become the most fun to watch. From wearing a cat sweater on a date to her infamous “name ’em” moment, she’s giving us exactly what we need.

Erika Jayne

(Erike Jayne/Instagram)

Erika “Jayne” Girardi has been through hell and back on RHOBH. Her life could seriously be a movie. We think she got it right when she said, “I’m an enigma.” Like, yeah, she is!! The housewife turned pop star always keeps us on our toes. From asking what empathy is to interrupting Diana’s boyfriend’s “O Holy Night” performance (Yes, we are bringing that up again!!!!), she keeps us entertained.

Brandi Glanville

(Brandi Glanville/Instagram)

The queen of mess. Brandi Glanville put all other villains to shame during her time on RHOBH. We would hate to be on the receiving end of Brandi’s vitriol, but we love watching it from the safety of our couch.

Kim Richards

(Kim Richards/Instagram)

What would RHOBH be without the Richards sisters? Kim Richards has been present for so many legendary moments, including the Amsterdam dinner, the bunny regifting, and the limo fight. She’s funny without trying and makes perfect TV just by existing.

Lisa Rinna

(Lisa Rinna/Instagram)

Lisa Rinna joined the cast of RHOBH for Season 5, and the world was never the same. Love her or hate her, you can’t deny that Rinna EARNED her paycheck. The actress was willing to do or say anything to create drama. The show simply isn’t the same without her. It’s safe to say Rinna has earned her spot in the Bravo Hall of Fame.

Lisa Vanderpump

(Lisa Vanderpump/Instagram)

Lisa Vanderpump reigned over RHOBH for 8 seasons. The fact that Season 9 is what ended Vanderpump’s journey on the show is heartbreaking. Seriously, OVER A DOG??? Vanderpump always felt like the matriarch of RHOBH, and the show definitely feels different without her. She will always be one of the best to ever play the game.

Kyle Richards

(Kyle Richards/Instagram)

We can’t imagine RHOBH without Kyle Richards. Cancel the show if she ever leaves. Kyle has given us so much throughout the years. She knows how to make good television, from family drama to friend drama. Kyle is the last OG standing, and we need to give her props for that.

How Kody Brown’s Coyote Pass Dream Became a Nightmare

SISTER WIVES KODY BROWN
Photo Credit: TLC via YouTube

Kody Brown of Sister Wives was always one for big dreams and hardly any plan of action. Between running his polygamous family out of Utah, moving to Las Vegas, selling his four perfectly placed houses, uprooting his family to Arizona, and never settling, Kody has a long list of failed ideas that often come back to haunt him. One of the biggest dreams of all was when he splashed out cash for a hunk of land he could call his own. 

In 2018, Kody and his family moved to Flagstaff, AZ, for what we now know was because Robyn Brown’s oldest wanted to attend school there. In the midst of the chaotic move, Coyote Pass was born. During an earlier season, fans were introduced to the idea as Kody stripped down and jumped into the mud hole. Yet between his four wives, two rented out in town, and two bought homes, making the entire move very challenging. 

What Was the Dream?

Cheryl Quell/Instagram

Kody’s dream was to make Coyote Pass into his little slice of heaven on Earth. After buying the property, he excitedly told his four wives, Meri Brown, Janelle Brown, Christine Brown, and Robyn, that he wanted to build one big house with separate wings for all. This idea went down like a lead balloon, especially since every spouse had gotten used to their own space.

Kody often complained about the excessive traveling between houses, which still raises the question of why the Browns ever left their perfect cul-de-sac.

How Much Did Coyote Pass Cost?

Cheryl Quell/Instagram

Together, the family spent $820,000 on their land. During a Sister Wives season, Kody explained that there were two small parcels and two large parcels. One section had access to a man-made pond, which Janelle coveted for herself. Not surprisingly, Kody was part owner of all four properties.

Before the spouses started fleeing their unions, the Browns split the land into five plots mainly because Kody wanted to build a fifth home, which he could use as a man cave. 

The Grand Plan

Janelle Brown/Instagram

In his dreams, Kody and Robyn claim they wanted to have the entire family grow old together on their land where generations could feel safe to practice polygamy. Meri would be given the plot near the edge of the woods, Janelle would be given the plot with the pond for her garden, Christine a plot in the middle, and Robyn a plot on the hill to oversee her peasants. However, this is not how the plan worked out.

The family couldn’t scramble enough money together to pay off the amount due on the land, which halted any progress on construction. Janelle eventually bought a luxury RV and camped on her plot. But she was the only one ever to say she lived out on Coyote Pass. 

How It Ended

Since the idea of Coyote Pass was born, a lot has transpired. Janelle, Christine, and Meri have all left their marriages. Christine sold her plot back to the family for a mere $10. Janelle and Meri have yet to reveal what they will do, but Janelle successfully paid off her plot and can now legally live on it if she chooses to. The landscape looks about the same as it did when the Browns bought it back in 2018, which really proves that Kody has trouble delivering on his promises.

Robyn, the only remaining spouse to whom Kody is legally married, still has her own home in Flagstaff that she bought and owns. If I am being honest, it doesn’t feel like Kody will ever break ground on Coyote Pass. The whole idea was pretty much a pipe dream that turned into a nightmare.

Kody now has a shrunken family, kids who don’t speak to him, one wife who cries all the time, and nothing to show for his hard work. I am almost certain Kody wakes up in the middle of the night screaming about Coyote Pass, as the failed decision might haunt him forever.

Southern Charm Season 9, Episode 14 Recap: Playing House

Southern Charm Season 9, Episode 14 recap
Photo Credit: Bravo via YouTube

The much-anticipated Episode 14 of Southern Charm Season 9 showed the cast “Playing House” as each Charmer sat around the table waiting for Taylor to deliver her soliloquy. Last week’s episode ended on a cliffhanger as the verbally abused Taylor chose to stand up and say her peace to an already intoxicated friend group. No one wants to hear what you have to say, Taylor, so sit right on down. Sadly, she didn’t take my advice. Here’s what went down in the explosive Southern Charm Season 9, Episode 14: “Playing House.”

Taylor the apologizer

Southern Charm Season 9, Episode 14

I hate watching an apology tour, but what I hate even more is watching Taylor say over and over again in her confessionals that she did nothing wrong, then get up in front of everyone and start crying.

Taylor, who looks great in her orange dress, starts the episode by saying, “I’ve apologized. I don’t know what else I can give.” Olivia mean mugs her former friend, clearly thinking about how she would like to be anywhere else but this dinner table. The drunk rambling continues as Taylor slurs her words, saying, “There never was an expansive anything going on between us. That is that. I’m done.” Austen looks just as uncomfortable as I feel listening to the lackluster apology. Who is Taylor to tell Olivia when she should be done with her feelings?  

Thank god for Madison, who bluntly asks, “What happened?” with Taylor answering, “A kiss.” Hmm, okay, Taylor, you keep telling yourself that. 

Shut up, Shep!

Southern Charm Season 9, Episode 14 recap

If Shep interjects one more time, I am going to pull my hair out. Olivia quickly corrects Taylor, noting it wasn’t just one kiss; it was “a make out.” Drunk Shep jumps to Taylor’s aid, telling everyone “not to get bogged down with the details?” What? Surely, you need to know the details to figure out the facts in the story. I am so proud of Olivia as she grew a backbone and told Shep where to shove it.

While everyone is acting like the kiss is something that can be overlooked, Olivia unleashes, stating, “Do not act like this is something that needs to be put to rest because I’m reacting. I am mad and angry,” telling Shep she is so “so sorry your kumbaya moment isn’t working. If that’s your journey to suppress your emotions. That’s great. F*ck off.” Lord, I love me an activated Olivia. 

Honesty is the best policy

Southern Charm Season 9, Episode 14

So fed up with her own actions, Taylor bursts out of left field screaming, “Do you want me to say we f*cked? Then I’d be lying.” Yet everyone turned into a bobblehead at that exact moment, with Olivia answering, “Yes, because that is what happened.”

If Austen and Taylor had just been honest right from the start, it wouldn’t even be a question. I feel like I am back in the ’90s with Bill Clinton as Austen yells, “Taylor and I did not have sex!” It’s safe to say there is no love lost in this love triangle. 

Madison is greater than Wonder Woman

Southern Charm Season 9, Episode 14
Photo Credit: Bravo via YouTube

As Taylor and Austen continued to pile onto Olivia, the blonde bombshell came to the rescue. Madison physically put a barrier, which was her arm, in front of Olivia, telling the kissing bandits, “Are you going to stop attacking her?” Now, I really hate Austen and how he reacted as he told Madison, “Hush. This isn’t your f*cking problem. Hush, hush. You’re a clown.” Thankfully, Madison doesn’t have to take his shit anymore and quips, “Don’t you dare. You don’t give a shit about anybody.” 

Madison is backed up by JT, who asks, “What is she a child?” The rookie has been on point when it comes to standing up for the women of the group, which I find most refreshing. JT takes it upon himself to tell Austen, “You need to stand up.” JT is like a bloodhound. He smells bullshit and isn’t afraid to call Austen out. 

The argument came to an end between the table when Taylor crossed a line, noting, “I love and adore my brother just like I am sure you loved and adored yours.” That line was nauseating and inexcusable. Thankfully, Venita is there to run after Olivia and console her. The influencer may be the wisest of us all, but she tells a visibly upset Olivia, “She is not your best friend.” The entire episode left us on a cliffhanger as the trailer for next week showed the Charmers rocking the boat with multiple fights.

Southern Charm Season 9 returns January 4, 2024, at 8/7c on Bravo.

All the Ways Wendy Osefo Has Changed For the Worse

Wendy Osefo
(Photo by Gabe Ginsberg/Getty Images)

Mirror, mirror on the wall: which Real Housewives of Potomac star changed the most overall? The quick answer is Wendy Osefo. I loved me some Dr. Wendy. She came in hot with miles of education, wholesome values, and the ability to read people as if she had earned another doctorate. But RHOP Season 8 has shown a new side to Wendy, who is not exactly the Bravo star we once knew. She is now drama-creating, shrine-denying, and self-gratifying. Please can someone tell Wendy to shape up or ship out?

Has Wendy Become Another Casualty of Reality TV?

Wendy Osefo/Instagram

Sum 41 said it best, “I don’t wanna waste my time. Become another casualty of society,” but it seems that Wendy has gleefully embraced leaving her higher education behind to get down and dirty with the rest of her reality TV co-stars.

I really was a Wendy fan when she first sauntered onto the Real Housewives of Potomac. Still, it is sad to see someone who prided herself on being a political consultant earning her Ph.D. in Public-Affairs Community Development from Rutgers University and is a professor at Johns Hopkins University go downhill.  

Here Is Why I Am Starting To Hate Wendy

Wendy Osefo/Instagram

Since when did Wendy turn into a brain-dead, wax candle-making talk show host? Wendy recently discussed hosting her own Oprah-like morning show that would be only for the elevated. The description left something to be desired and made Wendy look a bit unrealistic in her thinking.

All Bod No Brains

Wendy Osefo/Instagram

It is clear to me that Wendy is in search of her hot girl moment, who, at this point in time, can’t even hold a reasonable conversation with her Nigerian sister, Nneka Ihim. Instead of using facts, the mother of three has resorted to ‘I’m better than you ‘-laced insults that make her look really, really dumb, uneducated, and devoid of decent communication and listening skills. 

Even though Wendy feels that after her breast augmentation and a Brazilian butt-lift, she gets to be her authentic self, that is not how her newfound confidence is coming across. Since day one, Wendy has always come across as though she believed she was better than the rest of the women, and Season 8 has only magnified that belief. Honestly, it is exhausting to watch, and I find myself rooting against her.

Wendy Has Become a Liar

Wendy Osefo/X

One of the great things about Wendy was the fact that her life was dictated facts, not made-up stories. However, with the introduction of Nneka, Wendy is starting to slip and tell tall tales. The newest housewife accused the educator of denying knowing her in-law, Lebe Iwu. As the women and viewers listened to the fight, it was clear Nneka came with reciepts while Wendy continued to grasp at straws. Bravo production did Wendy dirty as they showed the one and only Lebe at Wendy’s daughter’s baptism being honored by the new mother. 

There was no way to explain her way out of that lie, and everyone knew. Wendy was also caught manipulating text messages. First, Wendy took to X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, to explain.

“Sigh … I have really been minding my business this season [and] not reacting/tweeting about #RHOP. But this narrative is getting malicious… You say you don’t know me, but a year [and] a half ago, BEFORE we started filming, you kept pressing Lebe to ask me to have dinner with you.” She then shared what looked to be screenshots of conversations. However, All About The Tea reported that parts of the text exchange were omitted. 

Everyone Is Tired of Wendy’s Accolades

Wendy Osefo/Instagram

I can’t take away that Wendy has achieved a lot in her life, but damn can she give it a rest? Many viewers also have multiple degrees and side hustles, but it doesn’t make any of them better than the others. I’m actually tired of hearing about Wendy’s accolades simply because she brings them up in the context of elevating herself during an argument. Remember, “It’s Dr. Wendy to YOU, sweetie?” Not cool, as the move comes off as extremely pretentious. 

I either need Wendy to be the cool housewife she once was or to jog on. I have no room for another housewife who pretends to be something she isn’t. I’m tired of Wendy starting messy drama due to jealousy; another Nigerian housewife is stepping on her turf. Honestly, my heart only has room for one woman like that: Gizelle Bryant. 

TELL US – ARE YOU ENJOYING THE NEW WENDY OSEFO?

Denise Richards Explains Bizarre Upside-Down Jacket Drama With Dorit Kemsley

(Photo by: Nicole Weingart/Bravo)

Fans were excited to see Denise Richards return to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills for Season 13; however, this wasn’t the grand reveal they expected. Since the last few episodes of RHOBH have aired, Bravo lovers have been talking non-stop about Denise and her bizarre behavior during Kyle Richard’s THC-themed event. Some, involving her jacket. “I don’t know why people are making such a big deal out of it,” she said on Bethenny Frankel’s podcast, Just B. “I don’t understand it.” 

Even though she was seen on camera denying any cannabis, the former diamond holder started acting strange by the end of the night. She picked a fight with RHOBH’s self-proclaimed “Ice Queen,” Erika Jayne, and sparred briefly with Dorit Kemsley over what the fashionista would declare a fashion emergency. 

For Denise, it wasn’t Dorit’s critique that rubbed her the wrong way; it was how she did it. “You know what Dorit does — she does this with everyone, and especially me. Anytime you see her, she’ll be like, ‘Oh, your lipstick doesn’t look like right. You need some lip gloss,'” she explained. That’s why I was like, ‘Shut up. Shut the f*ck up.'” 

Denise questions if Dorit is insecure following jacket comments

Denise’s awkward interaction with Dorit at Kyle’s party isn’t the first time the two Housewives stars have bumped heads; however, she’s still unsure why. “Not once have I seen her has she not said one thing about my appearance,” Denise said before questioning how Dorit may feel about herself. “Do you feel like you need to do that to make yourself feel more secure?”

Regarding her jacket, the OnlyFans star said she wasn’t too concerned with how it looked. The only thing on her mind was getting the “hell” out of Kyle’s trap house. Plus, Denise checked in with her glam squad. They told her it was “hard to tell” that her jacket was upside down. 

“I did try it on for my glam after, and they were like, ‘You can’t tell sometimes if it is upside down or right side up,'” she explained. “It’s like this feathery thing. And I just wanted to get out and leave. … I could’ve left the jacket there for all I care.”

Despite her altered state at the latest group event, Denise said she’s not concerned with how it looks to viewers. “Maybe if I hadn’t gone through so much stuff publicly, certain things would’ve bothered me, but because I’ve gone through so much, I’m like, ‘Who gives a sh*t?’ It’s nothing.”

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 13 returns January 3, 2024 at 8/7c on Bravo.

Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip Season 4, Episode 3 Recap: Scary Island Part Deux

Kelly Bensimon
(Photo by Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images)

Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip debuted its Season 4, RHONY Legacy, by dropping the first three episodes at once like a much-needed present. The highly-anticipated season filled with Real Housewives of New York legends is a masterpiece in the making, and we’re only a few days into the vacation.

The third episode chronicled the RHUGT crew’s third day in St. Barths. It took approximately 72-hours for Kelly to return to her Scary Island ways. Here are five of the main takeaways from RHUGT: RHONY Legacy Episode 3: “Take Me Out To The Hockey Game.”

Ramona’s on her best behavior

Ramona must have known what was in store for her after this trip. Or her new secret boyfriend really has made her a nicer person because she was on her best behavior in St. Barths. She’s overly kind to the house staff and has an unusual patience with her friends. Let’s be honest — it’s still Ramona, so she was still yelling and acting up, but it was way less than usual.

During the dinner for the day, Ramona admitted that the biggest misconception about her is that she’s hard and uncaring. “Your heart is very good,” Dorinda said to her friend “Rude? Okay, that’s another story. We don’t need to go there.” Fair.

Even Kristen was shocked that Ramona backed her up all day while she was feuding with Kelly. “Out of all these women, how is it that I’m most connected to Ramona?” Kristen said in a confessional. “Ramona and I could be besties.” It’s a huge leap from when Ramona threw a wine glass in her face, so we have to recognize some progress. None of this defends her fireable actions, however.

Is Andy Cohen on this trip?

Luann and Kelly reignited the same feud about their distant friendship. Lu, again, brought up Kelly not following through and bringing her to a Rangers’ game. Hey, at least she admitted she wanted to go so badly to meet men. Kristen tried to pipe up and ask what the Rangers had to do with the fight, and it clearly reminded Kelly of her old boss.

Kelly went on to repeatedly refer to Kristen as the “host” of the trip. First, she was a fan, which was a dig I could get behind, but the host accusation was a reach. “Kristen, his name is Andy Cohen. It’s not Kristen Taekman,” Kelly snipped. “You are acting like you’re Andy Cohen and you’re not.”

Kristen, along with the rest of the crew, couldn’t understand Kelly’s reasoning. She claimed that Kristen was playing producer to deflect, which is something she used to do. It sounded like another case of deflection from Kelly, and it wasn’t a good look for someone trying to look calm and collected.

Sonjarita never gets old

Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip Season 4, Episode 3

It’s an appropriate time in the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip season to honor the gem that is Sonja Morgan. She’s always the straw that stirs the drink without even trying, and this trip is no excuse. She spent her morning reading old articles about Kristen’s husband on Ashley Madison. During the dinner, she scratched her back with her butter knife when she wasn’t trying to drunkenly interrupt a serious conversation. Her vagina was flashed to the camera an average of three times per episode. I just can’t quit her.

One of the best moments was when Sonja, Ramona, and Luann took advantage of a long car ride to film Cameos together. Sonja gave Ramona advice on pricing and filmed her cameos out of opting for a skinny dip in the pool instead of a shower. “We all got work to do, so why not do it all together?” Luann said of the Cameo filming. “The fans love it you get three for one.” I love the working women of Bravo more than anything.

Kelly returns to Scary Island

Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip Season 4, Episode 3 recap
(Photo by: Clifton Prescod/PEACOCK)

Kelly’s spiral about Kristen being a host inspired Dorinda to watch Scary Island during her downtime of the day. “With Kelly’s increasingly quirky behavior, I think I needed to watch Scary Island,” Dorinda said. “I definitely see a pattern here. Not that we’re there yet, but the train is pulling up to the station.” Ding ding ding.

Kelly was so paranoid that people were trying to make her have another Scary Island meltdown that she let it happen. Dorinda must have had a few martinis in her because she decided to defend Kristen by poking at Kelly. Let’s not forget that two episodes ago, Kelly and Dorinda were newfound besties, so the tides quickly turned.

Dorinda called Kelly “nutty” which only continued to trigger the entire situation. “You’ve been after me all day long,” Kelly snapped back at Dorinda. Ultimately, Dorinda told the girls to act mature and they dropped the fight without resolve. No way this vacation will end without another appearance from Jelly Belly Kelly.

Kristen is finally heard

The ladies weren’t going to let Kristen vaguely bring up her husband’s cheating scandal and never talk about it again. Sonja showed up to dinner with the article fresh in her mind and a bone to pick. Kristen claimed that she didn’t look into the details and moved on with her family, but that wasn’t a good enough answer.

“It’s just honestly really hurtful. They want to stir up stuff from my past to get to know me better?” Kristen said. “I owe you nothing.” Fair, but as a fan of the show, she should know better than to think an Ashley Madison scandal would disappear that easily.

Kelly was the most vocal about disapproving of Kristen’s stance on the issue. “I’ve never heard a woman outside of Hillary Clinton say they don’t care except for you,” Kelly said. Lu put it best — Kelly felt like she was looking in a mirror and mad at herself rather than mad at Kristen. In the end, Kristen got to explain herself once and for all and felt heard. The women were satisfied enough with her display of emotion to forget the situation and dance on the tables. Another day in paradise, folks.

Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip continues Thursdays, streaming on Peacock.
