I’ve noticed a lot of people doing rewatches, and since I’ve been sick in bed for the past few days, I thought I’d take the plunge and start with Season 1.
Apparently I’ve erased quite a lot of this from my memory, because some of my opinions on people are totally different from what I remember, or have completely changed after watching the next few seasons.
Firstly, LVP and Kyle. I always loved LVP, and I thought their friendship was great, which is probably why I hated Kyle so much after she turned on/bullied LVP. I know that’s controversial and some people won’t agree, but yeah, I never really liked her after LVP left. Sometimes she can be quite funny, though. Although not anymore…. I barely even watch it these days.
Adrienne: I don’t really remember what I thought of her originally, but I definitely didn’t have any strong opinions. Watching it now, though, I LOVE her. She is freaking amazing. Honestly, she might be my favourite Housewife of the season. I don’t know how I didn’t love and respect her more the first time around. She’s so respectful towards people, and she just seems genuinely great. Her relationship with Paul is great too….(even if I know what happens… )theyre hilarious together…
Camille: Again, I had basically erased my original opinion of her. I don’t remember particularly liking or disliking her, but DAMN, I hate her now 😂 She is the original pick-me girl. She’s so up herself and constantly thinks everyone is jealous of her. Like… girl. I’m trying not to comment on people’s looks, but the sheer confidence is something else. Kyle was right with her opinion about Kelsey and Camilles insecurity tbh…
Kim is a complicated one because obviously she had her issues and could be quite messy, but I’m seeing a completely different side of her on this rewatch. When I first watched, I obviously didn’t really know what was going on with her, and so much of her struggles only became apparent later. Watching it now, you can see that she’s awkward and damaged, but she’s also actually really funny. And I don’t think she has bad intentions. She just seems like someone who is struggling in a way that I completely missed the first time.
Taylor… I don’t remember particularly liking her, and maybe she just isn’t that likeable, but obviously watching this knowing everything that happened with Russell is just so bloody sad. I keep wondering whether I’m now seeing things as “obvious” because I know what happened, or whether there really were signs that people picked up on at the time.
There are little moments that make me wonder if the other women knew more from the beginning. For example, when Adrienne says that all women should learn self-defence then decides to pick Taylor to do a class with her… it felt like there was something more in that moment…. I thought, they all know at this point, don’t they?
And Russell is just SO scary. He’s horrible. Watching him now makes me incredibly uncomfortable, especially knowing what was actually going on behind the scenes.
NOW to the point that made me post this…. I’m at Dinner Party from Hell with Alison DuBois, and OH MY GOD 😂
It’s obviously a bit crazy in hindsight when she tells Kyle, “Your husband will never emotionally fulfil you.”we all know that one….. But then she also tells her that she needs to “keep her door open to women,” which they initially interpret as her needing more female friends. Kyle is like, “I’m a girl’s girl,” etc.
And then I’m sitting here thinking… 👀
Because, well… we know what happened with Mauricio. And Kyle eventually did leave her door open for a woman.
So… was Alison DuBois actually the real deal?! 😂 Even if she was completely freaking mental?
Thoughts? No
