than Bravo; and two, the frequent appearances of Denises famous friends are what will make it watchable.
That sounds a little harsh, especially coming from a Denise fan, but I need to be honest.
Denise and husband Aaron Phypers are picking up their three golden retrievers from the dog-training ranch.
Also present is 19-year-old Lola Sheen, Denises second daughter with Charlie.
Lolas like a fairy, Denise says in a confessional.
Shes just very soft, shes light.
The premiere also gives us insight into Denises living arrangements.
For example, where is the money coming from to pay for four properties?
Also, how does Denise really feel about her in-laws essentially forcing her out of her actual home?
You have a lot of explaining to do with your friends with both your parents, Denise offers.
Then, looking directly at the camera: Thats why we have a show!
(Those shows only briefly overlapped, though maybe Denise is thinking ofSpin City.
Regardless, we need better fact-checking.)
Nevertheless, the family barbecue is at least in part an attempt to bring the two sisters back together.
Sorry, I keep looking at this squirrel, she says.
I have so many squirrels that come, and I feed them nuts.

(Perhaps even a planet where shefights giant bugs!)
Denise being spacey also leads to the funniest moment in the episode.
Denise interjects, Dont call her dude, shes your sister.
Seems like a chill guy!)

This episodes special guest star is Tori Spelling, and shes a much bigger draw for me than Camille.
Who am I to judge their daytime beverages of tequila and vodka?
I do feel like Tori upstages Denise a bit; shes just more naturally funny.
This is huge for Tori, a woman who never got the Hollywood sex-symbol treatment Denise did.
Shes feeling so benevolent that she lets Denise invite herself onto her new podcast.
Its a nice moment, and you’re free to see the genuine connection between these women.
Its also clear that, for Lola, God understands me, and thats all that matters.
Regardless, the conflict seems to be wrapping up already.
Lola feels Sami dated in Lolas friend group against her wishes and has created unreasonable boundaries for her.
Sami feels Lola is choosing Samis ex-boyfriend over Sami.
