Bitches in High School, Bitches in RHOBH

George gets it, and he's just 2 years old.

George and I are eating leftover pizza and garlic cloves this morning while watching Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, procrastinating cleaning our ramshackle house.
When Erika Girardi discusses why she doesn't have a group of close lady friends to Katherine, she was being honest. There are people that have their girl gang, and there are people who don't. When a group of women shit all over you in middle school or high school, it has lasting effects. I can understand what she means. The movie Mean Girls exists for a reason, there are real-life groups of Mean Girls that act like vicious turds when together. Independently, they could be genuine sweet dear pals, but for some reason, in the group dynamic, shit-talking becomes a source of empowerment.

So after Katherine absorbs Erika's heart felt reason for not having a girl gang, she turns around and mocks her to the RHOBH bitch-core, sans the ano-trout, Lisa R, by saying, "She shed 6 tears, and then talked about how Lisa V is the silent shit disturber."
Eileen, had the sense to know Katherine was acting like a mean girl, and did Erika a favor by turning the conversation away from her, and to her personal problems with Vanderpump.

And with that, Eileen gets promoted out of the bitch-core, to be with the women who are not deranged when in the female pack, Yolanda and Erika. I'm not sure what it is that makes Kyle go from a seemingly normal person to a hardcore asshole when she's engaged in a clique. Her poor sister took the brunt of it the last few years, so I suppose thats why she tried to single out Yolanda this season.
Hey Kyle, we all saw you shit talking Yolanda's kids at your stupid-ass ritzy non-barbeque, so stop pretending your an innocent bystander. Kyle implied Yolanda's Lyme's symptoms were the result of depression rather than a legitimate illness. She is a gossip, and this makes the ano-trout, Remmi, pleased till the ends because they can cruelly say wild, hurtful things about people and then wipe their hands of it with an, "I'm sorry, but..."

Gossips are the worst, and sometimes it is easy to fall under the spell of shit-talking but keep in mind, gossips pay that shit forward, so they'll air all your dirty laundry to the next listening ear. One of my favorite quotes is, "Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, and simple minds discuss people." by Eleanor Roosevelt. I'm not sure what that means about my RHOBH analysis (please don't be simple minded) but I'm taking from this episode a bigger meaning; sensitive people are often ridiculed by groups, but they are insightful, creative, observant and decent people with good hearts, and when things turn mean in the group environment, go ahead and defend appropriately, but exit stage left since gossips lack two thing, common sense and decency.

Get up, George. We have toilets to clean.
