The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills: Season 2

This episode was relatively drama-free. The more intense things happened in the previous episode.That said, this is my current opinion.Camille-Much nicer than they portrayed her in previous seasons. She was probably dealing with a lot, trying to hide the fact that she knew Kelsey was going to leave her. He seemed to be always on her mind, in the last season. She kept talking about him and not being just Mrs. Kelsey Grammar. I think she was tryng to cope with the fact that they would no longer be together. This season, she seems much more balanced and sweet. I am warming up to her.Adrienne-By far, my favorite housewife. She is so reasonable. She always tries to mediate between these ladies. She seems to be a positive force. She tries to build, instead of focus on drama. I noticed how she and Lisa seem to be the most successful in business and life and coincidentally are the most emotionally balanced of all the housewives.Lisa-She is a funny lady. Always, she makes wise cracks. She seems to have a good sense of humor. However, for whatever reason she seems to really stick by Kyle, no matter what. I like her storyline. She seems pretty reasonable. Maybe this is because she had to work to get her money.Taylor -She only had a bit part in this episode. She seems to identify herself as a victim a lot though. She seems to think about her past a lot. This episode actually portrayed her in a nice light though because it showed that she seemed to be able to empathize with others. Unlike Kim, who seems to be self-absorbe and who wallows in her suffering, Taylor tries to reach out to others. I think this is probably one of the reasons Taylor has so many friends.Dana-This girl strikes me as just too desperate about fitting in. She compliments everyone all the time on their clothes no matter what they are wearing. It's like she has a disorder where she has to say things that people want to hear all the time. Not sure where it comes from?Brandi -I actually like her. Kyle and Kim seem to have made her a target. For whatever reason, they can't just let it go. They seem to hold on to anger over past incidences a lot. I think this is where they give themselves such heart-ache. Brandi seems like she is a nice person. She says things and then later regrets it, but at least she is big enough to admit when she is wrong. Cudos to her for going to Camille's party and not letting Kyle bully her. That was really rude of Kyle to just ignore her and make side-bar comments all the time.Kyle -I used to like her, but the more I see of her - at least, this season - it seems the more ugly side I see. She seems to have this nasty temper that comes out and just targets random people in her vicinity. She says she is the luckiest girl in Beverly Hills, but she doesn't act like it. She doesn't act grateful for anything she has. She eggs people on and then blames them for when they stand up for themselves. She acts really rude and then either pretends she is surprised that they 'snapped' at her. Or, she is self-deluded.Kim-This girl needs to let go of whatever issues she has. Things that happened 1 year ago, she shouldn't be reliving. I realize this is a TV show and they like to show flash backs to remind people of things that happened in case they miss it. I get the impression though that for Kim, these flashbacks are occurring all the time. She says she can never forget. Even though Kyle is not that great to other people, she's all Kim has really besides her kisd. I think she should suck it up. Try to be more like Adrienne or Lisa. Live life, instead of holding herself back.These are just my two cents.Also, to defend Brandi:Not knowing who Winston Churchill is doesn't make her stupid. That's an education gap. It makes you ignorant sure, but you can learn and move forward.If you don't learn something in school, your not stupid for not knowing it. Your stupid if you don't learn from your mistakes. Which incidentally strike me more as the cyclical nasty behavior of Kyle and Kim. They are constantly at each other or at someone else.

Today's drama takes place at Kyle's Annual White Party. It is a big event with catering, DJ, dance floor, and bubbly. Mix in people with lots of money, a threat of a lawsuit, a drunk lady, and you've got instant scandal. YAY! Beverly HillsFor a brief synopsis:1. Kim still hates Brandi, "LIKE for all eternity". She will never EVER EVER EVER EVER forgive her for the unspeakable crimes she committed. Worse than Nazis, Taliban, and Ghengis Khan. Brandi accused Kim of being 'on drugs', not just any drugs - 'crystal meth'. This is a term Kim has NEVER heard of before. It was all Kim could do through slurred speech, to defend herself by pointing out what a bitch Brandi was. *POINT POINT POINT* +1 point for every finger point. How could she be on drugs if she could make such excellent points with her finger. Come on' her lil' daugther could back her up? Right?!? Yeah, let's totally drag in a teenager to this fight. >.< *Talk about embarrassing*2. Brandi decided to be nice, as usual. Most people would just walk-out on 1/2 of the Crazy Sisters, but St Brandi stuck it out like a trooper. I'm not sure why - maybe she is crazy, too. WAY TOO NICE.Even Kyle recognized the need to apologize for Kim's behavior this time!3. The motto of the day though is "friends don't sue friends." This was an important theme! Early in the episode, Russel e-mailed Camille a letter demanding that she stop spreading *falsehoods* about his marriage to Taylor. OR their would be consequences - *maybe* - and those consequences could have a dollar figure!!! $$$$ Ut-oh!4. Let this be a lesson to us all: A. If you are going to threaten someone and want to backtrack later, don't put it in writing. Say it over the phone or in person when you are sure you're not getting recorded. B. For people with money, threatening to sue is very serious, folks. After all: the more you have, the more you have to lose! Think of the lifestyle, peeps.5. Kyle felt social pressure from her peers, chiefly led by Adrienne and co. (one with most $), to not have Taylor and Russell attend the same party as Camille. Threatening to sue multiplied by the money you have equals the factor of seriousness. Many tears were shed by the Ice Queen (Kyle), who normally frosts people out with a dry eye. She didn't want to un-invite her friend Taylor literally on the doorstep to her party *ouch*, but she was 'put in a difficult situation'.Here is my opinion:* Kyle could have asked Taylor and Russel what they THOUGHT they should do. If Taylor was smart, she would recuse her husband and herself from the party--> thereby save herself some embarrassment. HERO!* Anyone of the party could have talked to Camille. It is HIGHLY unlikely that Camille was going to instigate anything, especially if she was under alleged order by her lawyers not to speak to Russel.Duh! Let this whole thing blow over. *If your party really has 300 people, I'm sure they could manage to avoid each other if they tried.*The ladies could have just avoided everything by not speaking about the subject until after the party.But, of course, this is too logical of an alternative. We are in BH! WE thrive on drama!!!!And also social actions have social consequences!!! Beware slighting the ladies of beverly hills, they will frost you out! In teams!!!

Sometimes froze and when it restarted it had moved further on
