But mostly, the rich women wonder if Kathy Hilton is being held against her will.
Actually, the rich women arent wondering that, but I am.
Maybe she was sick?
Or it was just the heat of being on a tropical island in July?
Either way, Kathy looked miserable.
A T-shirt and shorts, she answers, which I thought was a joke (it is not).
It looks like a normie in a nondescript green T-shirt and frumpy white shorts.
How the Kathy hath fallen!
to do a little bit of cleanup.
This is where things get messy.
No, thats not how these things work.
However, they have clearly discussed this before.
Erika has been saying this opinion in private conversations all season.
They werent colluding, but they were prepared.
The point about Kyle not having Suttons back is a little bit harder to parse.
Heres the thing: it kind of is Kyles fault.
As I said earlier this season, whether we like it or not, this is Kyles show.
She is at the center of everything and the only one there since the beginning.
She is also the bridge between Sutton and the remainders of Fox Force Five (feat.
Also, any time this discussion comes up, if Kyle wants to shut it down she could.
That is the power she has.

Kyle is that self-absorbed!
Even casual fans of the show know that is essentially her defining trait.

Sutton wants to be center diamond and she will never be there without Kyle letting her in.
Yes, the fans can stan her as much as they want (and there are plenty that do!
I think she was spotlighted more her than any other episode this season, and it was great.
She says one of her girlfriends told her she needed a lawyer.
Kyle asks if she got more money after she had used a lawyer.
Jennifer says, I got a piece ofThe Simpsons.
Im not buying diamonds onChuckymoney.
TheChuckymoney just pays for my snacks.
I loved that they were all risque but only showing off as much as they were comfortable with.
But everyone looked amazing, even the slightly more demure.
Its nuanced, something that reality TV fandom and internet culture are allergic to.
As Kyle leaves, Erika walks her out, closing the front gate behind her.
Shes left alone on a sunny, August day and her cabana beckons.
Erika wonders where she came from, what her story is.
Does she have a mate?
Does she have children?
Where does she spend her winters?
Has she ever been captured?
Even worse, has she ever been hunted?
