The Latest ‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ Dinner Party From Hell Has Arrived!

I’m starting to feel like a lunatic for not enjoying what seems to be Sutton's audition for “iconic Housewife” status on this season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. My Twitter (now X) feed is still going crazy over her “name ’em!” moment from two weeks ago, even though it barely registered to me as an iconic line at the time. I think her interrogation of Kyle is both sloppy and not aggressive enough—which is why Garcelle has to do her dirty work once again in tonight’s episode.

I’m also becoming less convinced that we’re going to be hit with some huge bombshell about Kyle and Mauricio’s divorce or her relationship with Morgan Wade, who makes her long-awaited appearance tonight. (Wouldn’t it be in Kyle’s best interest to reveal something before the season started for ratings?) If these women know how to do anything, it's drag out a nothingburger storyline for an entire season. Just ask one of tonight’s guest stars, Denise Richards.

But I’m still hopeful and open to any surprises that this season will possibly bring. So far, Crystal has exceeded my expectations. In tonight’s episode, she’s finally stepping into being a shady Housewife—at least in her confessionals—as opposed to a quiet observer of everyone else’s drama. Speaking of that, we also meet the newest cast member, Annemarie Wiley, who Crystal apparently has beef with at some point. Wiley’s appearance is pretty untimely, given that her husband, ex-NFL player Marcellus Wiley, was just accused of raping a former college classmate in one of the many lawsuits filed ahead of New York’s Adult Survivors Act expiring last week.
