‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ season 6, episode 10 review: Lisa Rinna and Yolanda Foster talk it out
It’s been a story brewing for most of the season, but on Tuesday night’s “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” episode, almost everything came to a head between Yolanda Foster and Lisa Rinna about the comments the latter made earlier this season.
We’ll at least give Lisa some credit for doing the right thing and owning up to the comments. She apologized profusely, admitting that she shouldn’t have spread the rumor around and was in the wrong … and Yolanda at least told her that she forgave her. In the confessionals, not so much. We’re still shocked that her Lyme disease has generated this much buzz, let along that her children have been dragged into it in their own way. Can this be the point where we leave this story at the door? We thought we had enough of people questioning illnesses back on this past season of “Beverly Hills.”
Now, let us turn to the people vs. Kathryn Edwards … and by “the people,” we mean Kyle Richards and Faye Resnick as opposed to a full jury. Someone at Bravo must have been twirling their mustache at the thought of having Edwards come on for an episode that would air right in the thick of OJ Simpsons season with “The People v. OJ Simpson: American Crime Story” premiering on FX tonight. (Shameless plug: Our review of that show is here. It’s really good.) Kathryn is still complaining about Faye’s book, which we’d have more sympathy for if the book wasn’t 20 years old. That’s like complaining about New Coke or the third “Back to the Future” movies. There’s no point.
This episode was mostly stuffed full of conversations that didn’t amount to much, other than Lisa and Yolanda, which actually needed to happen. We’ll consider it moderately amusing, but at the same time let’s not pretend that this was an instant classic. We’ll forget most of it within a few minutes of writing about this; the only recollection we have of Erika was standing up for Yolanda weeks after being in the silliest bit of “drama” ever with Bethenny Frankel. Grade: B-.
