Bravo knows they have a hit in The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and are milking the hell out of it. While ‘The Lost Footage’ episode is not really a new concept, the last Real Housewives show to have one was The Real Housewives of New York from last year. New Jersey and D.C. didn’t get a Lost Footage show, which made me think they were going to be a thing of the past. But alas, they aren’t with Beverly Hills getting the latest treatment and Atlanta allegedly getting one as well. Next week, Bravo will continue their Beverly Hills fascination with a Producers’ Cut of the infamous “Dinner Party From Hell” episode that shot the show into even further popularity. Allison DuBois must be thrilled.
Don’t think that my comments mean that I am tired of the Beverly Hills women, because I am most definitely not. I’ll welcome anything they throw at us quicker than the new Real Housewives of Miami, which I am being apprehensive about for some reason. Details on that later.
Now, let’s move onto the footage Bravo deemed worthy of our attentions after they didn’t make the cut in the regular episodes. Some scenes were kinda blah, while others were worthy of gasping over, which brings me to the first lady up for discussion.
Lisa and Giggy
We all knew Giggy was sick in some capacity, but we didn’t know how bad until last night’s episode. Turns out that Giggy has a serious itching problem along with his alopecia that has puzzled Lisa and Ken for some time. Then they received an email from Giggy’s breeder suggesting that Giggy must be put to sleep! How dare they! Seeing Giggy without most of his hair was heartbreaking since we are used to seeing him in little outfits 24/7. A viewer wrote into the reunion show (in a scene not shown) and called herself reprimanding Lisa for putting costumes on Giggy and torturing the dog by doing so. Lisa’s response?
“You can tell her to kiss my English ass.”
And that, Ms. Lisa VanderPump, is why we worship the ground you walk on.
Kim’s Dating Issues
The clips featuring Kim featured her in her most kooky and comedic self, but it’s the pyschic reading from she gets from a woman named Rebecca that sheds a bit of light on Kim’s somewhat fear of dating. Turns out that an ex-fiance, John C. Collet, was murdered over a business deal back in the early 90s. While that exchange was pretty sad, there was something Kim said about wanting an authentic psychic that caused my eyebrow to raise.
Kim said she and Kyle like for the psychic to prove things to them without having to tell them anything or offer hints. But Kim, babe, you are a Beverly Hills socialite/ex-Disney Princess, which means most of your past is like an open book to clairvoyants and psychics trying to make a buck. Proceed with caution next time you go to a reading by challenging them to pull something that is not public knowledge already. Just saying.
Other than that little morsel, Kim and Kyle introduced their secret language to use called “Richards-Latin,” which I’m dying to learn. They displayed it last night as Kyle was worried about Kim unknowingly talking to a married man. A quick exchange in Richards-Latin cleared that up in a jiffy, although I wonder if the guys sitting near Kim thought she was bat-crap crazy afterwards.
Kyle Gets In Someone’s Ass for Touching Mauricio
One clip I wished had’ve made the cut was Kyle showing no mercy by yanking some drunken über-MILF off of Mauricio and throwing her out of her White Party. The woman looked kinda pissed about the whole affair, but what do you expect when you are practically slobbering in another woman’s husband’s ear, asking if the wife treated him right? That’s an automatic revoke of party privileges and a damn restraining order if Kyle wants to take it that far. The other cool thing about the scene? Mauricio laughing at the whole thing and telling Kyle she did a good job afterwards. These two will stick together for a long time, folks.
Camille’s Charity Case (aka Di Di) and Losing Kelsey
During the reunion, Camille cried foul about the editors not showing any of her intimate moments with friends that make her look like a total snob. Well she got her wish tonight, but I swear her scene with Di Di on the beach seemed like it was shot just for this episode. In the scene, Di Di relayed how thankful she was for Camille in her time of need, which I’m still in the dark about. Camille, what looked like a rehearsed speech for a bad telenovela, replied how she’s always there for Di Di no matter what. It would’ve gotten an awe affect if there was some sort of believability coming from either woman, but I didn’t see any of that until they were leaving the beach.
As for the “final moments” of Camille’s time with Kelsey, my heart goes out to her, because Kelsey just didn’t give a damn that cameras were there recording them. When Camille kissed him and said she misses him, his reply was only, “I know.” Talk about cold-blooded. You can’t help but wonder if the man is proud of himself in the whole divorce mess, but hey, he’s doing him and so should we right? Still though, poor Camille…
Adrienne and Taylor didn’t have much to offer in their new clips, but it was still entertaining to see Adrienne half-heartedly trying to fix a PBJ sandwich while Paul looked on in amusement. Can we get these two a spinoff please?
Stay tuned for next week’s extended “Dinner Party From Hell” episode! Until then, what were your thoughts on this lost footage?

The lost footage aired last night central time- it was funny and yet sobering for the fact that Camille for the first time seen "vulnerable." Camille has yet some redeeming qualities.. let's see what happens when the ladies return back on screen.
Kyle confronting the drunk woman was not hilarious whatsoever. It's almost as if Kyle has trust issues with her husband. Why didn't Mauricio push that drunk woman off of him? Why does it have to take Kyle to do the battling for him? lol I find that a bit strange…The crib scene was hilarious though!
Kim looked refreshed. God bless her little heart. Hope she's handling her own.
Camille, although, I still don't like her/like her…I will give her another shot come next season. She's worth a tad of effort on my part.
Adrienne as always, calm and unable to prep a peanut butter sandwich! lol wow- that's just wayyyyyy too sad!
Lisa…… whatever!
Taylor…… ugh!
I loved it but was really upset they arnt going to air the part where Adrienne stands up for herself againt Taylor that would of made a better show on top of a great show. Taylor lied about Adrienne being the god mother to her daughter. Juicy I wanted to know more but ohh well. I agree Adrienne and Paul need a spin off show I could watch that all day lol. Anyways Camille and DD. DD'S hubby lost his job so Camille flew them to Cali and put them up in one of thier many houses in LA and gave them 2 cars of theirs to drive around and hired DD on as her hair and make up artist thats why DD was thanking Camille for all she has done for her. Camille seems like shed be a good friend to have…
Adrienne seems to get hit with awkward requests which she must deflect with tact–something which I imagine she has to do on a daily basis, given her wealth. Two examples: the issue of whether she'd be godmother to Taylor's daughter, and Andy suggesting that one of her brothers might want to date Kim. [If I had to guess which issue Adrienne would think is the more diasasterous, my money would be on the brother/Kim issue.]
I agree Laura about Kyle confronting the woman at the White Party. My first reaction was, Why isn't Mauricio disentangling that woman from himself? I wondered if he wasn't enjoying the attention. Was that grin on his face enjoyment, embarrassment at not knowing how to get her away gracefully, or maybe too much liquor? If he were my husband, I'd ask him why he didn't do something himself.
Its funny how everyone is critizing Mauricio for not pushing the woman away, when he clearly took his dauther on his side to protect himself.Its like you guys wants him to be a bad husband, Jellybeanss
No, we don't want him to be a bad husband. But he should have pushed the woman away himself instead of letting the situation continue.
Mauricio needs his DAUGHTER to protect him? What a wimp.
Definitely believe that which you said. Your favorite reason appeared to be on the internet the easiest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get irked while people consider worries that they plainly don’t know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people can take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thanks
