Villa Catalina

Barcelona, Spain
Real Housewives of
Beverly Hills
season

| episode(s)
13-15
Housewives are notoriously afraid of two things: overhead lighting and ghosts. Either one will send them running and screaming. So when the Villa Catalina caretaker mentioned right away that “little people” haunt the place, any hope for a peaceful time was extinguished.

Newbie Annemarie came for Crystal at dinner, accusing her of calling the other wives uneducated. To which Dorit replied in her confessional that Crystal, who is Asian, was a child bride (yikes!). Storm the sexy chef had the women shook, but not as much as Storm’s dad, who showed up the next night.

Erika got blackout drunk and made charming conversation with Sutton’s erudite friends. Crystal’s blood pressure shot up and she was taken away in an ambulance. And Sutton released legendary choreographer Merce Cunningham’s ashes downwind from a gay club called Bukkake.

The first evening’s dinner is barely underway when Adrienne Maloof, noticing that Brandi and Kim get teary during a tête-à-tête about combining pills and booze, tucks her bedazzled weave behind one ear and sneers, “Oh no, someone’s crying” to which Brandi retorts, “Shut the f&@k up.”
