This episode was all kinds of boring. I'm not sure why Marissa is there. Other than spilling red wine on her white dress (why was she drinking red wine while wearing a white dress?!?!) and imparting laundry tips from Barbra Streisand, she didn't have much to say. Kyle is a broken record, Brandi pulls focus far too much, and watching Adrienne and Paul interact is just dull as dishwater, as we all know how THAT story ends. I'm glad Taylor was MIA again this episode. I was on board with Yolanda asking that they stop talking about the same ole crap, but she should have done it earlier in the dinner.
The only thing that got me curious, as it did in the previews last week, was Camille's "accusation" that Lisa and Ken don't own SUR at all. Lisa has never hidden her business partner! Camille said last week on the internet somewhere (tweet, blog, something) that she had some bad information on SUR's ownership. Either she's backpeddling to recover her St. Camille of S2 reputation, or someone fed her bad intel, or both. And for Kyle to say it's "mean" to say Adrienne only owns 2% of The Palms (actually, the Maloof family owns 2% and can buy back up to 20% under the current credit agreement, per industry news) is not mean. Not to be too "inside baseball", and I don't know anything but what I read in the gaming news about The Palms, I can safely say that a heck of a lot of casino companies went under restructuring debt deals over the past several years. That the Maloofs hung on to 2%, can get 18% more back, and still have the management contract is a win. Then again, I doubt Kyle has much business sense.
