RHOBH **Spoilers**
I know there is the post below (with the awesome summary) but I didn't see much discussion about what actually happened...
I thought Dana was more likable this episode than she has been all reason. She seemed very genuine in her conversation with Taylor and she was so supportive.
Seeing the situation with Taylor and Russell play out on the show has completely changed my opinion about everything with his suicide. I previously thought they should not have even showed him on TV this season because he's not here to defend himself but I think many younger girls out there can relate to Taylor and her situation. Maybe it will empower other people to leave abusive relationships.
Kim and Ken... I don't even know where to start. First of all, Ken is creepy. The whole scene with him confronting Adrienne and Paul "talking about him" was very bizarre. The two of them were so rude with the flights and missing the cruise also. You could tell that Kim was completely out of it for most of the episode. She makes no sense at all and it's painful to watch. It was also so weird how she kept saying, "Everything happens for a reason" just because their alarm didn't go off and they missed the boat ride. wtf?
I didn't mind Kyle and Mauricio bringing up Kim's behavior. Kyle feels responsible for Kim's behavior and it's her sister. I think she can tell that Kim is on the verge of a breakdown and she doesn't know how to help.
As a side note- I really hope this season's reunion doesn't turn out like last year's. Kyle and Kim had that huge blow-up fight and then they wouldn't even discuss it at the reunion. I have a feeling, even though this whole season has highlighted Kim's issues, that they are not even going to address her substance abuse problems at the reunion. I hope I'm wrong.
Re: RHOBH **Spoilers**
Kim was not at the reunion filming due to being in rehab.

I think they addressed this in a previous episode. Kim wears an engagement-looking ring but they said they are not married. I can't remember fully since I only ever half pay attention but I think Kyle got all upset about this.

Brandi was spot-on at that dinner table. Kim acts like an assholio to everyone because it's part of the addiction. It doesn't excuse the behavior, but it explains it. Kyle gets sucked into it every single time. I know it's difficult not to say anything, but she needs some self-control of her own. I feel for Kyle, I really do, but she's kind of a bullying assholio herself. I actually started talking to my TV, telling her to let it go. It was the wrong place and time for a confrontation.
I had some doubts on whether Ken was also an addict or just a run-of-the-mill abusive creeper, but now I can safely say he is both an addict and a creeper.
Did anyone else notice that Taylor's combed-over bangs were hiding a black eye?
Camille and Brandi are currently my favorites. They seem like the only two that are there without an agenda and having fun with it.
i kept trying to figure out if it was a black eye or not. i thought it was
Damn, I forgot that in my summary!
I didn't notice that during the episode, but in the previews for next week, Lisa asks her about it - she asks if it was the reason for the split and Taylor nods.
Re: Ken's ring, as a PP said, that was addressed in a previous ep. I think Kim said that she gave it to him and he gave her the ring that she wears, but they aren't engaged. Apparently they're 14 and exchanged promise rings.
