RHOBH Yolanda

TV Dinner

I admit it, I watch The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Last week's episode Yolanda Foster's "friends" talked shit on her because she braved the Beverly Hills social scene, and didn't feel up to slapping some makeup on. It shows how stupid most of the people on the show are. Its all for naught since Yolanda is more beautiful than the rest of the cast, especially without makeup.

If you think of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills as a Wizard of Oz troupe, then Kyle Richards would be the scarecrow; there is, without a doubt, no brain in that woman's head. She spends majority of the show lamenting over how her sister is an alcoholic, and she is liberated by not having to keep it a secret anymore. The ability to confide about an agonizing family problem must be freeing, but to share it to the entire country, over cable television, well, she must be soaring.
Lisa Remi can be the lion because she laughs after everything she says, it is almost impossible to take her seriously, plus her endless self deprecation comes off a bit cowardly.
Lisa Vanderpump is Tin Man, because she seems most likely to be exposed as beating her servants, or stealing their passports and paying them in peanuts. She is the calculating "Bobby Fischer" of the pose, so I imagine her walk to the top involved a lot of stepping over people.
Yolanda would be Oz, of course.

Yolanda is going through a divorce which seems especially hard since she is fighting an immune disease, but she seems like the kind of person who doesn't let those things take her down. Yolanda is not perfect, she did get an antifeminist sentiment rolling around when she rattled on about how a woman should be submissive to their husband, and she also has said my least favorite quote of all time, "there is nothing worse than a drunk woman." Really? Reeeeeally?
She is pointed though, and I appreciate that. She said, "You have to keep a watch on your man, because any hussy will fuck him for a Channel bag," more or less. It is also very endearing how Yolanda obsesses over her kids. Yes, Yolanda is smart, so smart she should probably be promoted to the advanced students, Real Housewives of New York.
I will catch the new episode tomorrow night, so opinions are subject to change, but after having watched for five years, I think I have a pretty good pulse on this group. It is the modern soap opera, after all!
