I have a little chicken-or-the-egg dilemma, but its about Housewives and overpacking.
We sent Luann to the glue factory for this?
Sai packs eight gigantic garment bags full of outfits for a three-day weekend out East.
Lets just do the math on this, okay?
Lets say there were ten outfits in each bag; thats 80 lewks.
That means she has 68 extra looks.
She would have to wear about 23 extra outfits a day to wear everything she packed.
That works out to about one outfit every 42 minutes for the 16 hours theyre awake.
And that is if all you did for 16 hours was shoot outfits.
Im not saying Im against overpacking.
(Well, I am for my life, but not for Housewives lives.)
However, I feel like this has hit a point where it is performative.
All that said, I actually enjoyed this episode a bit more than last weeks.
Just ask Margaret Josephs; we need to be building arsenals here, people.
If I could just turn myself into a Jenna Lyons paper doll, I would be happy.
When she arrives at Erins, she asks what perks she gets for being there before everyone else.
Erin just gives her a little snack.
She couldnt have given her the best room?
That is the ultimate Housewives perk right there.
Sai brought her own roll of toilet paper because she needs to ensure she has two-ply at all times.
Do they even make that?
Its like leaded gas.
Why is Sai worried?
That said, toilet paper is an excellent hostess gift.
At least you know its something that will definitely get used and will never go to waste.
Yes, caviar is a good snack, but it cant bethesnack.
(This recommendation has been brought to you by my bougie-ass husband and his Italian vacations.)
Did Erin offer to make anyone anything other than caviar?
I mean, she couldnt whip up a yogurt and granola?
She couldnt scramble an egg?
There had to be some provisions in her Provisions-less house.
Everyone in this house could have been less rude by a factor of three.
Tinsley did it first.)
The dinner conversation is lively.
To be honest, it made me want to give it another whirl.
What are they even teaching in school these days?
How to stitch on TikTok?
Though I am not so excited about Jenna keeping her girlfriend private, I get it.
This is the right decision from a humanist point of view.
However, the Housewife job description is that you have to show us all of your life.
She will be out there regardless; maybe just give her a chance to tell her story onscreen?
We also got to learn more about Jessel and her henpecked husband, Pavit.
Ah, thats so sweet.
She needs to get on that disco stick post-haste.
Under the Eileen Davidson Accords, were supposed to give each Housewife a five-episode grace period before judging her.
However, that has been hard since there is a whole cast of newbies.
When she sits down at dinner, she gets out her compass to double-check shes pointing north.
Is she doing this for the camera?
If so, she needs to stop.
Is this just who she is?
Even if it is, well, she also needs to stop.
When they return to Erins, and everyone tries on their lingerie, I dont mind Ubah that much.
Shes strutting around, showing off her silky slip, and having a good time.
Back at the house, it is Jessel who is embarrassing herself.
She says, right to Jennas face, Its fucking disgusting.
Way to modulate your response in front of the woman it came from!
I dont think its that bad, but it does fit horribly.
With the right sizing, I think Jessel would look dope.
But theres something weird going on with the lingerie.
This is the kind of person were taking fashion advice from now?
I guess maybe shed have some better things to wear if she just packed more.
