The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Recap: Mo Better Blues
The wealthy women on the show are mostly focused on Amanda Frances, the newest addition to their group. While they don’t have to wait five episodes like the viewers at home to form an opinion, their initial reactions are overwhelmingly negative. Essentially, they’re asking what to do about her. A particularly telling conversation comes from Rachel and Erika. Rachel says Dorit brought up Amanda discussing her marriage, and Rachel was eager to discuss it. But when Amanda revealed it was the anniversary of her son’s death, Rachel admitted she immediately shut down – a reaction many viewers shared. Rachel, and the other women, are relatable despite their wealth and privilege – they’re just like us, but with better appearances and more complicated personal lives. Erika defends Dorit while also criticizing Amanda, pointing out that Amanda has talked a lot about her professional achievements but hasn’t opened up about her personal life, leaving Dorit unaware of the full picture.
