Speaker 1: Yeah, moments that I would take back on or surrounding
Speaker 1: the Housewives. I would take back the moment where I
Speaker 1: said a slur to Luan in the Berkshires, because while
Speaker 1: I talk about a lot of people publicly, i'll talk
Speaker 1: about their actions or something I didn't agree with, or
Speaker 1: maybe just not caring for their decisions, but I won't
Speaker 1: character assassinate. I won't say something about their physical appearance
Speaker 1: or just call somebody some name to be mean um.
Speaker 1: And I would take back that one moment where I
Speaker 1: said something to Luanne about um perceived promiscuity and I
Speaker 1: would not I would take back that moment. I would
Speaker 1: take back the moment where I peed on a stick
Speaker 1: in the bathroom because it's the only moment ever on
Speaker 1: Housewives for me that was not real, it had happened before,
Speaker 1: and that producers really needed to show that I was
Speaker 1: actually pregnant and I wasn't comfortable at the moment and
Speaker 1: that happened. I would take back talking negatively to Kyle
Speaker 1: about the Housewives before she joined, because I was leaving
Speaker 1: and I felt that it was not sort of a
Speaker 1: great look or vibe overall. And I would take back
Speaker 1: being sort of negative about it to Kyle. I would
Speaker 1: take back years ago blogging and just publicly talking about
Speaker 1: when I talk I think I talked about Theresa years ago,
Speaker 1: who I didn't even know about her participation on the show,
Speaker 1: when it just didn't need to be said, like I
Speaker 1: just didn't. It didn't need to say. It wasn't that
Speaker 1: bad and Theresa and I were fine. But I would
Speaker 1: just take back having blogged around other shows, um, because
Speaker 1: it just wasn't necessary. Not everything needs to be said,
Speaker 1: UM moments I would take back. I would take back.
Speaker 1: To be honest, I did not know when I on
Speaker 1: Just Be podcast said that everybody in the industry knew
Speaker 1: that Tom was not what he and Erica in the
Speaker 1: show portrayed him to be. I never said Erica knew.
Speaker 1: I could never know if Erica knew, but everybody was
Speaker 1: saying that Erica must have known if I knew, and
Speaker 1: it kind of came back and slapped her in a time,
Speaker 1: and I don't think she really needed it. I just
Speaker 1: was saying the facts, which was that Dennis told me
Speaker 1: that Tom owed everybody money, and I did tell Andy
Speaker 1: Cohen that it was all show and no go and
Speaker 1: that it was crazy that she was spending that kind
Speaker 1: of money per month when he don't got it like that.
Speaker 1: So I told him that, and I told yes, Kyle that, UM,
Speaker 1: but I didn't know that that would become like I
Speaker 1: hadn't seen that season and I hadn't seen that. Um.
Speaker 1: I didn't know that would be hard of the reunion
Speaker 1: because I didn't know that was a big thing, like
Speaker 1: did they know. I just knew that it was coming
Speaker 1: on public that he was a scammer, and I knew
Speaker 1: that he was a scammer, So I didn't realize that
Speaker 1: like that was going on inside the show and that
Speaker 1: my saying that would affect what was going on in
Speaker 1: the show. And that also happened on Watch What Happens
Speaker 1: Live one time when I said that I had spoken
Speaker 1: to I think it was Lisa, Rinna or Kyle, I
Speaker 1: don't even remember, and I said something about vander Pump
Speaker 1: and said, if you're gonna like you're gonna come for her,
Speaker 1: you gotta kill her, meaning like that's a person that
Speaker 1: if you're gonna go after you better finish the job,
Speaker 1: just like me, Like, if you're gonna come for me,
Speaker 1: you better you know, you better not. Miss. I was
Speaker 1: saying that to them, and I said it just like
Speaker 1: flippantly on Watch What Happens Live? And I wasn't watching
Speaker 1: the show. I think it was around Doggate or something,
Speaker 1: but whatever that meant made the audience think that like
Speaker 1: the two of them were plotting against Lisa. They were
Speaker 1: just discussing what was going on the show. To my knowledge,
Speaker 1: I have no idea what they were doing on the show,
Speaker 1: but they were discussing with me what was going on
Speaker 1: in the show. And I was like, oh, well, you know,
Speaker 1: with Lisa Vanda promp as a character, you know, like me,
Speaker 1: you're gonna take But I said it and watch What
Speaker 1: Happens Live, and it like became a thing, and it
Speaker 1: became a thing with the two of them. They were
Speaker 1: like annoyed that I had mentioned it. And that's where
Speaker 1: you have people that you know personally and you're just
Speaker 1: in that same cesspool where we're asked questions to provoke
Speaker 1: something on Watch Rappens Live and it lights a fire
Speaker 1: that I didn't even know I was holding the matches for.
Speaker 1: So that's something I would take back. I couldn't have known.
Speaker 1: And you can't not talk about The funny thing is
Speaker 1: you can't not talk about anything because you know, Teresa
Speaker 1: was once you asked a housewife that either she doesn't
Speaker 1: like or something, and she said something negative about me,
Speaker 1: and then she said something positive about me being a
Speaker 1: good mother, which I was happy for. But they asked
Speaker 1: a question like who's the housewife that you think is
Speaker 1: the most blah blah blah like, And he asked me
Speaker 1: who's the thirstiest Jill or Dorinda? Like I could say
Speaker 1: if you to answer that question, but like, then you're
Speaker 1: not playing the game, so you end up pissing somebody off.
Speaker 1: You make somebody happy and pissing somebody else off. That's
Speaker 1: why it's a really shitty game. And that's why going
Speaker 1: on watch What Happens Live, you need you need to
Speaker 1: like be in a straight checker for the next three
Speaker 1: weeks because you're gonna go on there. It's not like
Speaker 1: going on the Today Show or something where it's like relaxing.
Speaker 1: You leave and you leave it behind. You go there
Speaker 1: and it's little fires everywhere. They use gasoline. When you're there,
Speaker 1: they literally hand you a match to add to the
Speaker 1: gasoline so they can just put that in the press
Speaker 1: and get ratings. And it's like that's what The Housewives
Speaker 1: is all about. That's kind of why I left living
Speaker 1: out the ship storm publicly all the time with everybody.
Speaker 1: You have so many housewives, you're always gonna say something,
Speaker 1: So definitely apologies are owed and regrets have happened. I
Speaker 1: mean and and and you know, twelve years on its
Speaker 1: show a corner of my life, you're gonna make a
Speaker 1: couple of mistakes, gonna break a couple of eggs when
Speaker 1: you make a housewives omelet thank you ye. So I
Speaker 1: am struggling with this Rushmore thing. I honestly I struggled
Speaker 1: about the Vicki Tamar of it all because I think
Speaker 1: Tamar is excellent, and I know she is authentically her
Speaker 1: on the show, which is why presumably she's been asked back. Um.
Speaker 1: I toyed around with my final Rushmore being Lisa Vanderpump
Speaker 1: because the first time I said it, I had her
Speaker 1: as somebody on my Rushmore because she was excellent at
Speaker 1: the interviews. But my definition of a housewife someone who
Speaker 1: isn't afraid to get dirty and isn't making it a
Speaker 1: popularity contest. So Lisa vander Pump was entertaining and she
Speaker 1: always managed to stir the pot, and she was good
Speaker 1: in the interview chair. Albeit planned. You could tell those
Speaker 1: are planned lines. And I never really used to think
Speaker 1: about the fact that I do know that producers would
Speaker 1: give some people their lines or they prepared ahead of time.
Speaker 1: And you can ask any person that I ever worked
Speaker 1: with that the ship just just it was just off
Speaker 1: the cuff because when you started out years ago, you
Speaker 1: just didn't know all of the ways it can be orchestrated. Now,
Speaker 1: if you deconstructed, you can look back and see how
Speaker 1: people could plan all of this. Um So, Lisavannah Pump
Speaker 1: is definitely on the list. Kyle, I'm giving most Valuable
Speaker 1: Player because she has gone the distance, and I mean
Speaker 1: this in the highest praise, like like the Susan Lucci
Speaker 1: of The Housewives and iconic soap actress who Kyle has
Speaker 1: been there since the beginning, is an o G and
Speaker 1: hasn't missed a season. I don't think there's anybody on
Speaker 1: from the beginning. So she's is like the Susan Lucci.
Speaker 1: She's she's a career Housewives and she has managed to
Speaker 1: have good relationships with the castmates, with the producers. Yes,
Speaker 1: she's gotten into with different people, and she's definitely been
Speaker 1: involved in a lot of drama on the show with
Speaker 1: her family members and with other people. Kyle once said
Speaker 1: that Lisavannah Prompt was was playing chess with Bobby Fisher.
Speaker 1: So when I say that I think that Kyle is calculated,
Speaker 1: I do not meet it in a negative way like that.
Speaker 1: I mean Kyle has found a way from the beginning
Speaker 1: to now to navigate and get a little bit dirty
Speaker 1: and a little bit of heat, but never really all
Speaker 1: the way into the mud, because I think she has
Speaker 1: managed to control that and control her image and and
Speaker 1: stay endeared to the audience and to the other people.
Speaker 1: But a Rushmore housewife for me, really goes to the
Speaker 1: mats and gets dirty and isn't really overly scerned with
Speaker 1: their image. It's just not something that they really think
Speaker 1: about to to the to the fault of it, you know,
Speaker 1: like me. And he has been a disaster, because he's
Speaker 1: been a disaster, Teresa has been a disaster and it's
Speaker 1: not but they've also been so iconic and glamorous and
Speaker 1: fabulous and hilarious. So Kyle definitely has been incredible and
Speaker 1: is I'm giving my m v P. Gone the distance,
Speaker 1: But she's not on Rushmore because there's a down and
Speaker 1: dirtiness of of of a rushmore. And the reason at
Speaker 1: least A vander Pump isn't getting the Rushmore even though
Speaker 1: I previously said she would, is because I do feel
Speaker 1: that she also And that's that cast, by the way,
Speaker 1: Beverly Hills, that cast is very in control. I spent
Speaker 1: one time, one weekend with them, one episode, and just
Speaker 1: they're very in control. They manage their image, they know
Speaker 1: what they're doing. They finesse this situation and it's a
Speaker 1: program and I get it, and I was spected, and
Speaker 1: it's a different brand of what we're talking about. There
Speaker 1: are other people in the New York Housewives that have
Speaker 1: managed to have two separate lives that that's why they're
Speaker 1: not getting the rushmore people that I'm thinking of, because
Speaker 1: you have to have been stayed, you have to have
Speaker 1: stayed exactly true to your authentic self messiness at all
Speaker 1: on and off camera. So Lisa vander Pump has always
Speaker 1: been controlled and didn't show up to a reunion. So
Speaker 1: because she didn't show up to a reunion, I can't
Speaker 1: give a rushmore. You see. I think about this a lot.
Speaker 1: So the other people that are on my very short
Speaker 1: list for Rushmore would be Tamera or Candy. And you know,
Speaker 1: I read the comments and many of you said I
Speaker 1: should put myself on that list. And this is not
Speaker 1: a humble brag, this is not begging for compliments, but
Speaker 1: it's my list. I just don't know how to put
Speaker 1: myself on the list. And here's my other reason why
Speaker 1: I don't know how to put myself on the list.
Speaker 1: You know how the Brady and She is very iconic,
Speaker 1: and we talked about it, and we think it was
Speaker 1: like a full era. It was really only six seasons.
Speaker 1: I was on the house Webs three seasons and then
Speaker 1: I left in the beginning three seasons. Kyle's went on
Speaker 1: Housewives for twelve years. I left after three seasons and
Speaker 1: it was gone for three seasons, and I came back
Speaker 1: maybe for I think four or five seasons. So I've
Speaker 1: been on for eight seasons. I mean, it's it's significant.
Speaker 1: It's enough to have made a mark. Um. So I
Speaker 1: don't know if I should leave it to you guys
Speaker 1: to vote. I cannot give myself an award. I cannot
Speaker 1: elect myself or nominate myself for this this very high honor.
Speaker 1: So I will leave you with this The definition of
Speaker 1: a Rushmore housewife is iconic, authentic, even when messy, not
Speaker 1: about who was the most popular with producers or who
Speaker 1: did all of the things that you like and relate to.
Speaker 1: You may hate this person, they may They are polarizing
Speaker 1: because they came on the show and decided to give
Speaker 1: it their all, and they decided to be exactly who
Speaker 1: they are off camera on camera, and they were unapologetic.
Speaker 1: They are funny, they're entertaining. They bring the drama, but
Speaker 1: don't kill the party. They connect tissue, they drive story.
Speaker 1: They do not have separate lives on and off camera.
Speaker 1: They don't have that many secrets, and they don't really
Speaker 1: have that many skeletons. They're not really somebody that everybody
Speaker 1: could figure out something about and catch them in a
Speaker 1: lie there. I mean, I just know that Teresa, Vicky,
Speaker 1: and Nini are absolute definitive Rushmore's. And I can't come
Speaker 1: up with the last one because none of the people
Speaker 1: I'm coming up with are definitive. Lisa Vanna Brump didn't
Speaker 1: go to a reunion and always managed to finesse and
Speaker 1: manage her reputation. Kyle maintains a polished, controlled manner overall
Speaker 1: on and you know on the show with the audience
Speaker 1: that I respect immensely um and she's she is the
Speaker 1: m v P. And Kyle is the closest I could
Speaker 1: possibly come. So you may have your own thought. Candy
Speaker 1: is iconic, iconic. Porsche is also iconic, but in a
Speaker 1: more theatrical way. Then you get Kenya, who's iconic in
Speaker 1: a theatrical way. This is different. This is like more
Speaker 1: authentically old school. Tamar gets chipped just because I gave
Speaker 1: it to Vicky and it's too similar in nature nature,
Speaker 1: But Tama no that you should be like on the
Speaker 1: Rock with Vicky. I just had to choose one. And
Speaker 1: it wasn't that I was choosing from a certain city.
Speaker 1: I don't think they're all from Orange County. It's just
Speaker 1: that I chose who I chose, and I'm happy about it.
Speaker 1: The timer definitely gets an honorable mention. And if it
Speaker 1: were not myself, the two people that it would be
Speaker 1: down to would be Kyle and Candy. I think Candy
Speaker 1: is less afraid of tarnishing her image and Kyle also
Speaker 1: know that I'm friends with Kyle, so I'm not I
Speaker 1: I you know, I want to be. I'm being as
Speaker 1: authentic and honest as possible. She's great and there's been
Speaker 1: a superb housewife for so many reasons. Uh so, I
Speaker 1: may just have to let you all decide anyway, I
Speaker 1: digress
