This week on our favorite showRich Women Doing Things, the rich women did things.
But mostly what they did was cry.
Diana cried and it is the most that Diana has done this entire season.
Yes, it is that time.
The official verdict on Diana is: I get it, and I dont.
I totally get why you would want Diana on the show.
Shes gorgeous; she has a hot younger husband.
She sends her staff ahead of her when she travels.
She is rich enough to be unafraid of what anyone thinks about her.
She seems like excellent casting.
Good job, casting.
But then you get her in a scene and she fizzles like a wet bottle rocket.
Cause that is the show, Diana.
That is why you are all here.
Talking about stupid shit is the entire job description forRich Women Doing Things.
This inability for Diana to engage is also all across this episode.
Up in her room talking to the staff?
In the hotel lobby looking at Instagram?
Down the beach reenacting the finale ofBarb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar?
(I hope so because same, sis.)
Bring it up at dinner.
Show the people how much it hurt you.
Give them something to discuss.
But no, she shuts it all down.
Sutton doesnt have the temperament to be an excellent Housewife.
An amorphous blob of gaffes that is entertaining to watch, yes.
Diana just doesnt have the interest.
She doesnt need money or fame, and she doesnt seem to be launching some cockamamie business.
(Unless she is really a celebrity madam.
Then why is she here?
Once she figures that out, I think shell have a story.
First, she tells Crystal on the beach that she needs to stand up for herself.
Then she tells everyone at dinner about Crystal crying on the beach and forces her confrontation with Sutton.
Theyalldo this, and they have been doing it for years.
Garcelle does it too.
Sutton wont say what she heard or who said it but leveled this accusation anyway.
Garcelle says that when Sutton brought it up, it was powerful.
Wait, but when Crystal brought up something she wouldnt say, that was dangerous.
Why is everyone Team Powerful all of a sudden?
Kyle better back herself and the horse she rode in on right up.
She says Crystal plays the victim because she doesnt fit into this group.
Um, the reason she doesnt fit into this group is that none of them will let her.
As soon as she started on the show, they told her she couldnt feel violated.
They have systematically ganged up against her every time she tried to assert herself and have denied her feelings.
Why would she feel like she fit in?
Sutton is just as bad.
Also, Crystals case is based on something she was present for Sutton saying.
Whether or not it was dark, Crystal was obviously hurt.
These women are now judging her based on a rumor.
Why not ask Crystal about it?
Why not get her side of the story?
Why not find out if this thing ever happened.
Weve heard enough rumors (need I point out Kyle and the rumors about her husband?)
If we can answer that, then we can find out why the group seems so against her.
My favorite thing about Diana is that she isobsessedwith this fact.
Lets talk about something else.
I get it, its hell to lose a parent, and we all grieve differently.
The two paintings in her room were gasp of birds.
Lisa then tells the women that she opened her makeup bag that morning and what was in there?
Kyle freaks out and says, Your mother put it here, one thousand percent.
You know Kyle means this literally, not figuratively.
I dont think that is how spirituality works, exactly.
(Still in that phase, to be honest.)
Then Lisa Rinna says, Ive been seeing birds all day.
Of course you have.
You are on the planet.
You are at the beach.
You are under the sky.
The world is full of many things, great and small, serious and funny, gorgeous and ugly.
