She does love things cleansy. Look at the epithet she hurled at Miss Makup - "you're disgusting." Not 'rude,' not 'have some manners' but 'disgusting.' Again, the emphasis on cleansiness. On vomit. On rotting. I bet she spent some of her childhood around people who were 'dirty' in some way, which is why everything now has to be hard, and clean, and polished, from her nails to her stone palace, all a triumph over randomness and chaos.

Miss Makeup should be Sister Shutup - he's not even part of the show. And I am willing to bet, for all I said just now, that Danielle's extensions were probably cheap and when MM began zhuzhing her they flew all over including into Theresa's cleanzy little world. Which would be disgusting. And dangerous - I mean, there'd be the danger of particles of coke flying all over and getting T high and jittery and even more nervous, which would surely be a terrible, terrible thing.

But fun to watch.

Likewise, IMHO a close-knit family "having each other's back" means guaranteed support (whether emotional = someone to listen, physical = a place to stay, or financial = a loan) during both the good & bad times, not redefining truth or appropriateness.

i never said the behavior was "classy" . . . . i do think it was normal.

furthermore i know good and well i didn't say that having your family's back means "defining truth or appropriateness". what i'm pretty sure i said was something along the lines of having your fams back does not mean always being agreement with them.

i don't think it was as simple as that. i think she said he was disgusting bc he was making snide remarks abt teresa everytime he came to primp danielle and she heard him.

Does this mean that we are going to have our first "Real Baby" of the Housewives series? I rather see babies than the big babies on these shows.

[AngloAm]

Two of them! Jacqueline and Chris have had one and T-Wrecks and Decent Joe are going to have another.

Is it me or was Joe partially a jerk (gay comments) and partially a decent guy (at the last supper buying drinks for everyone)? I'd like to like him, if all that about him being the homo's bestest buddy is true (which I partially doubt as it reeked a bit of T-Wrecks cleanzying up her hubby's rep), but I can't tell.

Joe comes across like a lot of guys I've known through the years. I don't really find him to be mean spirited or homophobic.

[buttahfly]

i agree

I don't either. I think DaniBev just had to make a scene about something. Like the old saying goes....you can dress her up but you can't take her anywhere!!!!!

[Bridget Jones]

DaniBev is going to be on Andy Cohen's new Bravo show.

I think it premieres tommorow?

What a way to break in your new show ... this woman can't tell the difference between truth and fiction anymore. It's become a habit. Whose idea was this, anyway??
