The new season of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hillbillies opened up with a somber note on August 29th 2011, the day of Russell Armstrong’s funeral. To be honest I don’t even think I want to go into full recap mode because after what happened to Russell the whole Housewives franchise is now tainted. It’s the truth and it’s sad, I’m not saying it’s Bravo’s fault, but did Russell going on this show only amplified his problems? Did going on this show become a nightmare to this dude that started out with him agreeing to drop that Bravo hit of acid that Chankla peer pressured his ass to take while whispering in his ear “come on it will be fun!” meanwhile only thinking about the fun SHE would have on this famewhoring roller-coaster of chaos, but NOT thinking about how Russell will freak out specially after the walls start to melt and there’s trails following your words until it becomes a bad acid trip? I cannot think of any other way to describe it, but that’s how horrible it must be to be on a reality show.
Week after week ever since I started this blog (for fun) I have sat here and clowned on these housewives for everything and anything that I found ridiculous, especially their blatant insistence that their faux wealth makes them untouchable from our consistent trail of banter festivals, and when their faux-fronts crumbled down I pointed out the obvious and went into full insane-clown mode while Y’all joined me in the mocking- marathons on these ho’s.
I always thought that once the cameras stopped rolling and these bitches closed their doors that their superiority complexes protected them from our various and colorful array of taunts and that the next season the clowns would just return with the circus that is Bravo to take more tomatoes to the face while they sit and try to look sophisticated on the stage of their faux-reality.
But now that I see that a man is dead (who wasn’t even a housewife, but rather a casualty that happened to be dragged into this mess) it makes me wonder if it is even right for all of us to watch these shows and point out all these people’s ridiculousness in all it’s embarrassing glory while they are going through serious mental problems and Bravo is exploiting them. I don’t want everyone to think I’m sitting here preaching from the morality soapbox (especially the crass, loudmouthed, gutter mouth bitch I am) but after this tragedy I feel disappointed at the way Bravo just went ahead with their “Ok the show must go on” attitude and all they did was slap on a little segment of the housewives talking about Russell and their opinions on the possible reasons of why they think he offed himself. Of course those reasons revolve mainly around money and how in the “town” they live at broke assess with Hyundai Sonata budget and Rolls Royce taste have to put up a front which can put a lot of unnecessary pressure on someone like Kyle puts it. Yep, Russell was a little dog trying to hang with the big dogs, all housewives and their husbands silently agreed with that.
This episode was mainly focused on Adrienne Maloof’s awkward dinner party and Chankla Face’s marital problems, plus her efforts in visiting a therapist to help her and Russell fix their marriage, a marriage that we all now know how it ended and this makes the whole thing sad and very grim and it sucks all the funny out of the whole season, but I’m still going to try and make my recaps funny, maybe not this one, but the future ones at least because the least we could do is learn from all of this and everyone individually will figure out the lesson they can pull out of this train-wreckage.
While everyone sat down at the dinner party Adrienne flipped out on her husband Paul for some stupid ass reason, I guess she thought that by Paul fucking around and joking he was embarrassing her when in reality the more bitchy she became the more she looked like an ass. I was embarrassed for this poor rich bitch. I think the main problem is that she keeps letting Paul try more face-lift experiments on her already stretched out strange looking-frozen mug, hence her new face this season, and Paul keeps screwing up these face-lift experiments making her look more and more like Jocelyn Wildenstein Jr so this bitch keeps getting angrier and angrier at Dr. Frankenstein and that’s why she keeps getting more and more irritable with him. I can see in my crystal ball that Adrienne and Paul are the next motherfuckers to get a divorce. Adrienne admits that her husband gets in her last nerve and that they can stand each other only in small doses. Sounds like Adrienne is ready to trade Paul in for a younger model since she is the suga-mama with the money in this relationshit (misspelled on purpose).
After Adrienne, managed to make everyone uncomfortable at this dinner party, Chankla Face starts talking about Russell and how she is having difficulty in her marriage and is dragging Russell to therapy. While Chankla yaps away Lisa’s husband Ken jumps in to put in his 2cents and tells Chankla that therapy is for weak people. So he pretty much implies that Chankla and Russell are pussies for going to therapy, Chankla believes his crazy ass is the one that really needs therapy because he sits there carrying a fucking dressed dog all day and bragging about how the dog is so good looking and dresses so nice other dogs are jealous of it, but Chankla doesn’t say that and just thinks it so instead she runs to the bathroom and cries to Kyle after getting offended at Ken’s comment and Ken gets offended at Kyle when she jumps in defending Chankla Face and instructs her to NOT use the word “offended” when she describes Chankla’s reaction. So he then instructs the bitch to use the word “upset” instead. Lisa VanderDump is pissed off that Chankla Face is trying to manipulate Kyle to fight her battles and turn her against the VanderDumps she also calls Chankla a liar. And Lisa is absolutely right! Chankla Face is intimidated by the VanderDump bitch because not only can this bitch crush her with her wallet she can see through her bullshit and Chankla knows it.
The pettiness continues when Chankla Face returns from the bathroom and gets confronted for being a bitch and a manipulator. Suddenly Lisa decides she is done and comes up with the lamest excuse ever invented in the history of mankind, for abruptly leaving a dinner party and blurts out “I gotta pick up someone from the airport” I don’t even know why she even said that shit because everyone already KNEW why they where leaving. All this petty bullshit seems so insignificant and stupid compared to what was coming in the months ahead as Russell prepared to live his final days in this reality TV fishbowl. How did Alison Dubois and her magical cigarette not predict this outcome?
Sorry maybe the next recap I do won’t be so grim!
