On tonight’s episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Lisa is preparing a dinner at her home that she is hosting for her daughter and her fiancé’s family. 

Dana comes to visit Taylor and they are going to cook while visiting. They discuss the barbecue and how rough Brandi is around the edges.  Taylor looks kind of strange in this scene, something is wrong with her eye…and I am not sure what? She is either sick, just got in a fight, or had bad plastic surgery. According to the gossip columns, her camp says it was abuse, his camp says it was plastic surgery.  I know they deleted a lot of the Taylor/Russell stuff….I am wondering if this is part of that back story that we won’t be seeing this season. Either way, she keeps playing with it, and touching it, which makes me want to tell her to stop touching her face! Ok, back to the subject:  Dana is hostessing a game night at her house for all of the girls, Taylor was going to, but Dana decided she would do it. 

Kyle and Adrienne meet for food. They start talking about Brandi; Kyle says that she can tell that she isn’t a girl’s girl. Kyle thinks she is too harsh, Adrienne says she is sweet she just doesn’t have a filter.  Adrienne brings up the trip to Sacramento that Kim joined them for. Kyle says she is always anxious and worried about her sister. She has always rambled and she never knows what she is going to get. 

Adrienne and Brandi have lunch, and Brandi thinks that the barbecue was good because she was so nervous to meet everyone. She felt she was judged, but she also felt bad about the joke she made at Dana’s expense. Brandi is really worried about what they think of her, so they are making a plan to win them over.

On game night, Dana announces to Kyle that she is wearing Valentino. And then she announces it to Brandi.  Brandi is still on crutches, but neither of the girls helps her and Kyle has nothing to say to her. When Dana announces that she is wearing Fendi shoes…I guess we all start to figure out who she is. Kyle and Brandi sit awkwardly in silence. Finally, Camille arrives and everyone is sort of relieved.

Camille notices there is hardly any furniture, and just a little spread of dessert and breadsticks. It’s really awkward still even when Taylor arrives, when Adrienne calls and bails on them. Brandi feels all alone without Adrienne.  Finally, Kim arrives and meets everyone, then runs to the bathroom cause she put her makeup on in the car but Kyle stops her on her way and wants to help her do her makeup.  Kim complains about the mirror being dirty. Dana pretty much invites herself to Camille’s Hawaii house. Kim admits that she has been having panic attacks; she hasn’t been eating or sleeping for seven days. Kim is really acting weird, Kyle even admits she tested her drink and it was fine. 

I guess Lisa wasn’t invited because she is hosting her dinner.  Wow, this looks WAY more fun than Awkward Game Night over at Dana’s!  Over dinner, the kids announce that they are engaged! Everyone is super excited!

Back at Circus Dana’s, Brandi is thinking something is going on, Kim keeps going to the bathroom and she senses that she is wasted and everyone is covering for her.  There is only dessert and breadsticks and everyone is starving. Kim, Kyle and Brandi get put on a team for games together and they are so bitchy, Kim says she doesn’t want Brandi on her team and Kyle laughs at it. How rude!! In the middle of the game, Kim gets up to go to the bathroom and Kyle goes to find her. Brandi asks Camille what she thinks of Kim, and Camille says she has just been through a lot. Camille obviously does not want to talk about Kim at all. She feels torn between the girls.

At one point, Kim hides Brandi’s crutches…this is so weird. Finally, Brandi defends herself and Kim and Kyle go all crazy on her and call her disgusting. 

Tonight, I am on Brandi’s side. And it looks like it gets even gnarlier next week.
