I will admit that watching this show is one of my favorite guilty pleasures. It has been highly entertaining to observe the cast evolve, dissolve or leave altogether throughout the 13 seasons.
Interestingly, Kyle seems to be the one constant who has held the show together and has remained a cast member throughout the show's long run. With a few exceptions, she has sought everyone's friendship and has often been the voice of reason when dealing with the other housewives' arguments and disagreements.
However, it was truly a shame to witness the dissolution of Kyle and Lisa Vanderpump's seemingly sincere friendship several seasons ago. I do miss Lisa and Ken and would like to see Bravo bring them back. When Lisa left, some spark and intelligent repartee was lost in the show.
So, having just watched the latest episode, Garcelle is once again playing the victim, now accusing Dorit of using the word "attack" when it wasn't used to imply anything other than the manner in which it was used, whether to a white person or a person of color.
I will agree that Erika was wrong several episodes back when she told Garcelle's youngest son to "f-- off" or something to that verbal effect. It was totally inappropriate and Erika has since offered her sincere apology, which Garcelle accepted.
However, I have found Garcelle to be a pot-stirrer from the outset as well as a sarcastic, passive-aggressive person who looks for every opportunity to appear victimized. Unless she adopts a different attitude, I just don't see that she adds anything to the show. I would love to see Kyle's neighbor Annemarie Wiley featured more prominently. She is very pleasant and funny and has a great rapport with the current cast.
Getting back to Garcelle's always playing the victim, she and Denise Richards are two of a kind. I hope Denise does not come back as a regular. While I don't necessarily agree with Erika's verbal response to Denise's accusations in the last two episodes, Denise was only baiting her and wants again to play the victimized and misunderstood party. Losing Garcelle and Denise would be no loss to this show.
