RHOBH S7E1 Recap: “Stronger Than Ever”

After a familiar trip down Rodeo Drive season seven of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills opens with OGs Kyle Richards and Lisa Vanderpump making plans to meet at Pump, Vanderpump’s restaurant and bar in West Hollywood.

New housewife Dorit and husband PK meet with Lisa and Ken at Pump and wait for Kyle and Mauricio (unfff zaddy) to join them. Dorit asks Lisa if she liked Dubai (clearly she didn’t watch last season) and Kyle cackles. Lisa explains to Dorit that she had an awful time in Dubai because Lisa Rinna was accusing her of saying things that she didn’t say (love you LVP but I believe Rinna).

Later on Eileen, Erika, and Kyle grab a bite to eat. The ladies ask Erika for an update on Yolanda and her Lyme disease and Erika says that she is feeling 75% better (thank goodness). Kyle then asks if the ladies think that Vanderpump and Rinna will be make amends eventually to which Eileen and Erika are skeptical. Kyle says that although Lisa Vanderpump is angrier than Rinna, she will likely forgive Rinna first because Rinna is easy to manipulate (Oop shade).

*blasting Erika Jayne’s “Painkiller” and feeling my oats*

It’s time for Erika’s 45^th birthday party and she has her village of gays applying a disco frost make-up for the Studio 54 theme.  The ladies’ costumes are everything with door-woman Pussy Control, Lisa Rinna (that WIG), and Eileen stealing the show. Erika Jayne plays her own music throughout the entirety of the party (queen) which results in the other ladies releasing their own inner Jaynes on the dance floor. The atmosphere quickly turns cold when LVP interacts with Lisa Rinna and Eileen for the first time since the reunion. LVP is very cold to both Rinna and Eileen as the ladies exchange niceties (although LVP claims that they were cold to her). Ultimately, the episode ends with the ladies dancing together despite the tension between the Lisas and Eileen.

The preview for next week shows Erika holding auditions for back up dancers, Lisa Vanderpump shopping for a horse, and Dorit hosting her 40^th birthday party. Tune in next Tuesday at 9pm EST for an all-new episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
