The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills starts this week with everyone on Lanai. Adrienne and Paul are rekindling their relationship a bit and we get to see them kiss a couple times in this episode! Oh wow, they actually have blood in those veins!

Kim and her Ken show up FINALLY, over 36 hours late. Kim is always late, so why is anyone surprised?  Everyone is ready for dinner , and Lisa looks great in this fluorescent yellow dress she wears. Lisa admits she didn't want to like Brandi because of her ties to Cedric, but she finds her funny .  They are really warming up to each other and I am so glad, finally someone see's how hilarious Brandi is.

Dinner is awkward when Kim and Ken arrive (late as usual) and Kyle wants to push the issue of why they didn't make their flight. I am on the fence here...Kim is right that they are there now and everyone should have some fun, but at the same time, she is SUCH a flake that it is annoying to everyone.  Mauricio kind of calls out Kim and Ken when they say that Ken had to work...which is a lie.

Kim is dumb to lie, because Kyle has now grabbed on to the fact that Kim can't tell the truth about what is going on and why she was late. Because of this, dinner is awkward and there is tension there.  Kim just keeps lying about it...which annoys everyone including Mauricio who keeps pushing the issue too.

At the table, everyone discusses that Taylor has left Russell, but Paul thinks they will be back together in 2 weeks. Camille says she is the boy who cried wolf. 

The next day, everyone is waiting in the bus to go on a bus ride and guess who isn't there yet? Surprise surprise...the flakes. Lisa and Kyle knock on the door and then jump a fence and knock on their back door to wake them up. Obviously they don't want to go and are being SUPER lame...I am not sure why the girls are trying this hard. They finally wake up Kim and Ken and they swear their alarm didn't go off. 

It ends up that the bus leaves without Kim and Ken. Then the boat leaves without Kim and Ken. So Kim and Ken have a nice lunch together, while everyone else is on the boat.  At this point, why did they even GO to Lanai??? They are totally isolating themselves from the group...typical Kim. Why is she even on this show, Bravo?? She can't show up for work!!  If this were a real job she would have been fired forever ago...

Over lunch Ken is talking about how he has to defend Kim and she is being treated poorly. Which, I guess in a way he has a point, but if they would have some respect for other people and their time, maybe they would be given respect also. But instead, they treat everyone like crap so naturally it comes back to them!

That night, there is a dinner for Mauricio. Before hand, Kim walks with Adrienne and Paul. While they are walking they talk about Ken and how nice he seems to be...just then Ken walks up and thinks they are trash talking him and totally slams Adrienne.  What an idiot.

They are the only one's defending you num nuts!

Things get super tense when Kim shows up and Kyle will still not give it up that she knows she is being lied to. Kim keeps repeating what a nice day they had sitting at their lunch table since they didn't go to the pool, or the beach, or do ANYTHING. Like Anderson Cooper said on Watch What Happens Live tonight, maybe they were just laying around their hotel room with a bunch of Percocet all over the floor?  Ken gets defensive and tells Kyle that they don't care.  Way to win sister points Ken. Anyway, the guy has probably just been pushed over the edge, but the fact is that somehow, whether he knows it or not, he is enabling Kim's bad and flaky behavior even though, at times, it seems like Kim is just getting victimized.
