'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' finale: Taylor's birth-cray party
After watching Thursday's (Jan. 20) finale episode of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," Camille Grammer may not have enjoyed how she looked, but she was probably thankful she didn't go to cast mate Taylor Armstrong's birth-cray party.
With Camille out of the picture (her attention on her husband, Kelsey Grammer, leaving her), the women turned on each other. It really was an entanglement of great proportions and we believe every woman had something to do with what went down.
Camille: As we've already stated above, Camille made all this possible by not showing up to the party. We're not blaming her for the fight. We're just saying things would have been different. Let's face it, if she would have gone, then either everyone would had been on their best behavior, walking on eggshells all night. Or, all of Kyle Richards' aggression would have been pointed at her instead of Kim Richards. And Camille, in her state of mind, would have lashed back.
Adrienne: I hope the driver is keeping the engine running.
Lisa: Lisa Vanderpump is our favorite housewife, but we can't let her off the hook. She's clearly jealous of Taylor's growing friendship with Kyle. In her jealousy, she had to make Taylor pay, so she manipulated her into confronting Kim at the party "to make things right." It was certainly not the time and place for such a conversation, but Lisa wanted Taylor to admit her role in all the drama. Clearly, Lisa's plan to expose Taylor worked... too well.
Kim: She ended the night quite emotionally bruised and battered. Though, she started the night totally trashed already! We're sure that contributed to how she reacted to Taylor and then her sister. On the flip side, none of us expected Kyle to out her as an alcoholic on-camera and then lunge toward her in the limo to do God knows what.
Taylor: She obviously has self-esteem and image problems. That probably stems from her violent childhood. At some point, though, we have to take responsibility for our actions as adults - whether that's marrying for money or lying about her involvement in creating the Vegas incident. The woman can't even say she gave away her daughter's dog. Is it summering in The Hamptons, Taylor?
Kyle: There are so many ways in which Kyle could have avoided this situation. She could have left Kim and Taylor to battle it out and not had gotten involved. She could have given her sister more credit than she gives her friends. After all, when all this is over, Kim will still be there for her. We believe that. And then later in the car, Kyle could have abstained from fighting with her obviously drunk and already emotional sister. And maybe, she could stop throwing her mother's dying request that she take care of Kim in her sister's face. After all, it's not Kim's fault that their mother laid that on Kyle.
Adrienne: Well, we're just glad Adrienne Maloof was there to stop Kyle from whatever she was going to do to Kim when she lunged at her in the limo. As usual, the Bravo cameraman was more interested in getting his shot than stopping any possible violence. New Jersey flashbacks, anyone? And later, Adrienne was instrumental in diffusing the situation and calming Kyle down.
In the end, the 90210 housewives lived up to Bravo's franchise and leaves us wanting more! Thank Gucci for the two-part reunion specials!
That's our take on how everyone contributed to the Beverly thrills finale. What's yours?

I have a new found respect for Adrienne...she seems like a class act and a genuinely nice person. Taylor is a troublemaker...she didn't need help from Lisa to rock the boat. Kyle was my favorite housewife but her treatment of Kim was harsh and way to personal.
TAYLOR IS SO BORING THEY NEED TO GET RID OF HER AND THAT JOKER MOUTH OF HER'S JUST ANNOYS ME TO EVEN LOOK AT. SHE NEEDS TO GO.
First of all, the Beverly Hills housewives are my new favorite.
Secondly, I believe Camille already knew her husband wanted a divorce before she heard from him. She has never acted like a married woman from day one. I don't know her or Kelsey personally, but he has been a public figure for many years and she has now had her day. There is no way any man could have her as his wife just based on the way she acts, especially with other men.
Lisa and Kyle are my favorites but they all make the show interesting and fun to watch.
Hope to see you all next season!
Well written summary. As I watched last night, I couldn't understand why Kyle would fight with her sister when she knew she was drunk. I thought we were watching another example of Kyle bullying Kim. Poor Kim.
Camille is another story, I am sorry she was blind-sided by Kelsey's coldness and infedility but she did start fights with Kyle and she did brag endlessly about all the things money has given her. Ick.
But I will watch another season!
All became clear last night - Taylor started everything! She inflamed the New York fight and now it is clear why Kim has such hostility towards her.
Taylor also caused the birthday blow out. Wow! Lisa had her pegged.
If Kyle truly were honoring her Mom's dying request to look out for Kim, she would not have allowed herself or her sister to partake in a reality show/series given the mental illness issues involved. Clearly Kim is weak and struggling. Kyle is fed up with the responsibility yet she is also mishandling the situation. Both sisters appear to care about each other yet need outside guidance and some distance to gain some perspective. It is too bad the whole world is watching. I love Adrienne and Paul's relationship. They are fun and real. You can tell they love each other and love their/this life. Lisa was totally wrong to hold on to Cedric as she did. He was such a manipulator who did not want to give up the lifestyle Lisa provided. He seemed more like a pet/Dickie.
I think Kyle is a bad sister, always put her friends first that her sister, Kyle always like to put Kim down, if Kyle think that the way to protectec Kim ,she is wrong.......It make my sick see how Kyle put Kim down all the time, Kim just open her mouth and Kyle said that she is wrong ......KYLE YOU ARE BAD SISTER.
We should give a standing ovation to Kyle!She deserve a bravo and applause for her display of behavior!!!Don't you think guys it's the way to go???I love you Kyle!!!Long live *******!!!!Pls. don't ever accept that you're at fault.Make the damage control more flowery and smelly!!!kudos my fellow harsh talking *****!!!
I think Camille's Got to Go!!! She is not AT ALL fit for T.V. So Poor Me crap is sooo pathethic. When ever she shows up on the screen I turn the channel. CAN'T stand her. Replace her. Anyone else will do. She's got nothing to offer the show.
Your article makes it sound like Kim took things the wrong way from Taylor and Kyle because she was supposedly under the influence.How wrong you are, we saw the tape and Kim took what Taylor said to her exactly the way anyone would have taken it, an attack.I believe it is a ruse to try to pin this blame again on Kim and her alleged intoxication since it was all started by Taylor and then Kyle. I am beginning to wonder if the truth is being squashed by firstly, the suggestion of intoxication when it is apparent who the instigators and abusers are. The so called intoxication is exclusive of what went on and as far as I am concern everyone had something to drink so it really did not comne into play regardin Kim's reaction. The antagonist is clearly Taylor who I believe may be a pathelogical liar or con artist aka Shaun
