You are by far my favorite cast member. Your brutal honesty mixed with your humor make it a fun show to watch every week. I felt for you watching that lunch/dinner date, as I felt the same way you did. It wasn't fair, and extremely rude, that Taylor was brushing you off the way she did, but hopefully that gets resolved. I wish you the best.

I NEVER GET BORED WITH YOUR WAFFLING, LISA!! n e v e r!! You are the real star of this show. You are everything good, and with lots of pink pink pink! You are a modern Beverly Hills housewife with an old-fashioned English flair who delivers on so many levels, and who receives on so many levels because of how good, and how real, you are. All in all, you are my favorite. AND...I agree...Taylor has been playing it from both ends, always creating a little bit of trouble. I don't know why Kyle forgets that, and I really don't know why Taylor has to play that game, except perhaps, dare I use the "I" word, and say, she is "INSECURE" and therefore trying to please everyone?

Love you Lisa! You are by far one of my favorite housewives!

I love your blog, except one thing. It is crystal clear watching the show, that Taylor herself called Camille insecure, not Kim. So I am not sure, as you yourself have watched these episodes...are continuing to place Kim to blame as having said things about Camille. All of this is surrounded by Taylor. She is the one who called Camille insecure and then said Kim called Camille insecure. Otherwise, I think you are spot on.

Good, honest post. No BS. I am afraid to see the finale but it looks like Kyle loses it at Kim (I like Kyle, by the way). Camille's marital issues are no excuse. It would be good enough to explain a break down, stress, negativity or snappishness, but her interview comments are so full of pettiness, vanity, and horrible mean spiritedness as to be a total reflection of who she is as a person. I am a broke single Mom who works hard, attends grad school, tutors on the side, and I would never make those type of comments in the midst of my divorce.

Something seems fishy about Cedric. In any event, if he is square, he needs to move past the past. If the story is true, the past is done and unchangeable - he may as well decide to deal with it and forge a new future. Also, in accepting your generosity, he should at least work and save money and also help you around the house. I'm sure your own children would be expected to work at his age even if they lived at home.

I hope next week's episode doesn't break Kyle and Kim's relationship. I also hope that the true friendships on the show are able to survive reality TV.

I am an anglophile anyway... but Lisa, I love your persona. You're real. I love to see that someone can be fun, friendly and open-minded, but real. In regards to Cedric: in every interaction both parties take advantage of in some aspect. Every time you have a friend, you lean on each other and rely on each other for different reasons...but the fact remains that everyone is getting something. I have a friend that loves to give gifts, but in exchange fully expects friends to drop what they're doing whenever she calls. Friendship is always an exchange, although rarely in-kind and rarely equitably. I don't agree with you on Camille, however. To constantly harass someone else (Kyle) because you're going through a difficult time is ridiculous. To embarrass someone else (Nick's wife) because you've been embarrassed is also ridiculous. If anything difficult times should show us the path to compassion. Camille doesn't even have compassion for her mother who has cancer- she only cared about the fact that she MAY have it one day... enough said.

I love you Lisa! You have always been on of my favorites on this show, but after this week's episode, you are now my absolute favorite Beverly Hills housewife. You're always honest, up-front, and classy. You're real and consistent. Not to mention you look AMAZING!!! :)

Lisa, I love you! You have remained honest, up-front, classy, and above all CONSISTENT, throughout the entire season. You set a great example for how women should behave. Make no apologies for keeping things real! I very much enjoy the fact that you work very hard for your success and wealth, which is well deserved and should be enjoyed. Never change, and I hope to see you next season! :)

I'm puzzled as to why you're presenting this information about Taylor's role in the whole stupid fight as something new? It is KIM who has been saying this all along while ALL of you just ignored her and allowed Kyle and Taylor attack her for pointing it out. Not once did I hear you say that Kim is right or come to her defense.

Also did you ever think for one second that Kim didn't defend Kyle against Camille because perhaps what Kyle said to Camille or what Kim heard is not exactly what Kyle is claiming? I know you're friends with Kyle but lets face it, the girl has some serious anger management problems.

Lisa, I just love watching you on the show every week! You definately are one of my favorite housewives of Beverly Hills. I love the passion that you have as a mother and I think that you are so elegant,classy and have a wonderful sense of humor!

I am very glad that you have finally pointed out that Taylor is the one who instigated the WHOLE blow up in New York. Yes, Camille and Kyle had a disagreement in Vegas prior to New York, but never such a huge argument would have errupted had Taylor not said anything behind all of your guys back. I find it disturbing that Taylor sits there acting innocent as if she never said anything to stir the pot. Taylor clearly told Camille that everyone was talking about her in the airport and on the plane ride to New York. Kim was actually right in the two instances(at the dinner table in New York & dinner at Camille's house) that she tried to bring up to Taylor that it was HER that said something to Camille to start all the drama. I really hope that Kyle sees and takes to heart what you were trying to make her aware of at your dinner at Villa Blanca prior to Taylor budding in. I think Kyle should respect and cherish your friendship with her. You two have been friends far longer than her and Taylor and you guys have such a fun dynamic together. Quite frankly I don't trust Taylor and I hope all you ladies approch a friendship with her cautiously!

I wish you and your family contiuned success, health and happiness. You and Ken have built a beautiful life together and I pray that you are able to continue enjoying many years to come!!!

Dear Lisa, Yesterday, I had some comments posted, after several hours they were taken off. The comments were about Kyle and Taylors bizarre behavior. Everyone saw the hand holding, the joke about being a lesbian and Taylor looking into Kyles eyes. Why do you think they banned these comments?

Hi Lisa.........you are my favorite, hands down, no question. And I think your husband is adorable and the two of you make a perfect match. Most of the time the husbands on these shows are OK, but who cares, ya know? But, Ken is not only very cool, but interesting in his own right. Anyway, what I am leading up to is this: You need your own show! Between Giggy, Ken, the incredible house (which I would like to see more interior pics of) the fabulous restaurants, your history in the Industry and the restaurant business I think you are absolutely marvelous inspiration. You are always a lady, you are smart as a whip, clever and spot on with your assessments. I love the way you dress and style yourself, so much more ladylike and classy than the current trend of Hooker-wear that seems to be all the rage right now. I know you know this, I mean hello? But you are absolutely elegant.......you inspire me to hold to what I know is right. And, you're right, Taylor is a s**t stirrer, and her behavior at the table with Kyle was not only rude but weird as well. That's it in a nutshell, I find Taylor to be strange and untrustworthy.....stand your ground, Lisa, you've got it all going on!!

Love U Lisa and that little Giggy too! What wine were you, Kyle & Taylor drinking at that dinner - was it the Summerhill Villa Blanca Rose ? Looks so nice, guess I'll have to come down to Villa Blanca for lunch one day and try it!

Lisa you are the coolest! Smart, sexy, and classy; just how women should be! And your little "British phrases" crack us all up. Waflling on? LOL!

love ya, A

You are classy, intelligent and a delight to watch. I agree with your blog 100%.

Lisa,

You and Adrienne are my favorites on the show. Your witty comments are always hilarious and you are both strong, independent women with great, supportive husbands. Kudos to you both for keeping out of Camille's dinner party fiasco and acting like the dignified guests you were.

It is touching to see your maternal side that is clearly evident when you speak of your children. You are obviously a deeply caring person to welcome a non-relative into your home. I was wondering how did you and Cedric meet and how did he become your permanent house guest? Does he have a job? When I heard him telling you about his mother on this episode I was moved because it must have been a difficult childhood. However, he is a grown man and perhaps should get therapy for his issues. He shouldn't expect you to be his rescuer and your husband is probably right.

I feel that you were spot on about Taylor and I thought she was rude to interrupt your dinner. In my opinion, Kyle should have had more respect for you, as well, but she probably didn't think twice about inviting Taylor to join you two for dinner. To watch two grown women acting like 3rd grade school girls in front of you, holding hands, making eyes and giggling at each other was weird. Anyway, I find it disappointing that Kyle is willing to excuse Taylor's behavior and yet blames her sister for every problem. To me it appears somewhat that Kyle takes for granted some of the longtime, supportive relationships in her life because she enjoys being popular.

Looking forward to watching the reunion and catching up on RHBH next season. I was sorry to read about the recent experience you, your husband and interviewer encountered with a drunken man at the hotel. Best wishes to you and take care always.

Honest blogs-always! It was a VERY odd get together in your restaurant with Kyle and Taylor giggling/holding hands and acting like young grade school gals. I think in Taylor's case, it's all nervous side-ways behavior that comes out. Not sure why Kyle was acting so sophmoric...but it was most likely related to the feelings about Taylor/NY....that you had just shared with her before being interrrupted. You're a very famiy oriented woman and this whole Cedric situation must eat at you. It'll work out because you're not reckless or irrational in your thoughts or the way you deal with life. You're probably the most grounded person on reality tv! I agree with a lot of the viewers regarding Camille. It's one thing to suffer publicly-all the world gets to see your painful divorce. Ugh! But, the lashing out, the misdirected mean-spirited comments, the passive aggressiveness...that's her personality. You've been very patient with her. Hopefully, she'll allow the input everyone gives her to sink in. She seems soooo stuck emotioanlly! So many of her problems with public image have been self-induced! You...you're just a delight!

Hi Lisa, You have always been my fav, but you can't show how angry Taylor makes you, because it makes you look bad. Kyle, I thought was pretty rude with the hand holding and giggling, maybe you should think about what kind of friend she is. Best regards, Laura, San Jose :)

Lisa, You are so witty and funny...your intelligence is always evident EXCEPT when it comes to Cedric. There is an old saying that it's better to teach a man how to fish than to provide him with fish. In other words, the best way to help Cedric is to help him either to learn a trade or find a job. He could save enough money while living with you to be able to afford to move out. You are doing him a disservice by treating him as another lapdog like Giggy. He also probably needs some form of counseling to get on with his life.

On Taylor stirring the pot, as it were, with Camille and Kyle, it is obvious from viewing these episodes that she has done so. Someone also told Camille about the conversations about her at the airport and on the plane as she brings this up several times. I assume this was Taylor also because Adrienne never talks about anyone and we know it couldn't have been Kim or you. I think she is playing both sides against the middle and you are right to attempt to get her to admit her role in the whole fiasco.

Work on getting Cedric to move on! He will be stronger on his own.

I love you on the show. I have one thing to add rewatch Pandora's birthday and watch the look Cedric gives Pandora. I wish the best for you and family as I have enjoyed the series the most.

Lisa, Know how you felt when Taylor interloped, you had a plan and she interupted your dinner with Kyle. But........sometimes we have to be flex-i-ble especially when a friend has a problem. Why she would want to come discuss her marriage and open it up to another friend for talk is another ? At any rate, the handholding was ridiculous but I think she was trying to get your goat. She seemed manipulative in that scene and unfortunately, you bit. Next time just go with the flow and be glad you have so many friends.

I just adore you Lisa!! You bring so much class, elegance, humor, intelligence, and sex appeal to the show- you are the main reason I tune in each week. I love your honest, no BS blog- and I COMPLETELY AGREE with you about Taylor!!! I have been on to her since the first week and have been waiting for someone to finally call her out about the whole New York fiasco. She clearly is the catalyste for the continuation of the Kyle/Camille drama, and I am so sick of her trying to make it look like it was somehow Kim's fault! Get over yourself Taylor!! I am glad that Lisa finally is realizing Taylor's role in the fight as well as her ridiculous, passive-aggressive behavior that has gone on for weeks now. I was very annoyed that Taylor not only showed up to the dinner, but then grabbed Kyle's hand and acted like a child. I am hoping that you address her antics at the reunion and that Taylor is put in her place!! (I think she needs to go!)

Lisa, you are a breath of fresh air and I am so grateful that you are on this show!!! Thank you for keeping it honest and classy week-after-week- I hope you never change!!!

I can't wait for the finale!!!

lol I was not getting bored of your blogging at all! i could read ur gossip and opinions all day long! you should write a book! come out with another TV show! id buy ur book n read it all day to listen to u " waffle on!!!!"

Do you support Cedric? Does he have any money of his own? I don't see anything wrong with helping someone out, but is it really helping just to let him hang out and 'freeload' as it were, or maybe you should think about setting goals for him to get him to stand on his on 2 feet, just like you would your child. What happens someday when you are not there for him? I would give him a certian amount of time to get a job, make him pay his own way to the fancy meals, events, etc ..... Get his own car, again, not sure if he has money or not, but just laying around the pool all day , well I can see why your hubby is irritated. Cedric sure is a good looker tho! *Drool*. :)

THANK YOU! FINALLY A REAL OBJECTIVE PERSPECTIVE AND... THE TRUTH!!!!!

Lisa, You're so awesome! You're beautiful in every way and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing a part of your amazing life with us all.

Regarding Taylor, I thought her behavior was totally insulting to you at your dinner with Klye. Taylor's part in stirring up Camille in NY, which lead to the spiralling downfall of events, also equally hurtful to you and Kyle and all you beautiful and amazing women. For awhile Taylor had me fooled that she was sweet but now I can see she has two sides and the other side is not so pretty.

As for Cedric, I have to say my heart goes out to Cedric when he said "How can I love myself or anyone love me when I think that I was not meant to be or born out of violence..." (Can't remember his exact words but close enough?) I love you Cedric! You have so many fans that love you and I can see why Lisa and Ken love you and have given you so much .. but at the same time you have given your love and much in return. May your paths stay together for eternity and in the mean time may you and Lisa and Ken find a solution to this important crossroad. I also love Cedric's spiritual beads and spiritual light.

So, dear Lisa, you are so blessed and I thank you again for sharing your wit, wisdom and beauty - So refreshing to see you SO REAL, the beautiful flower, appear in the vast land of make believe.

Finally, someone is sticking up for Kim. I thought I was the only one who heard Taylor bring up the word insecurity FIRST!! I like Kim and think she is the most honest one on the show.

Lisa!

I adore you. You are the best. By far my faw housewife of any show. As much as I understand your stand toward Cedric, I get the feeling he's taking advantage of your feelings toward him. I hope you'll resolve that situation peacefully.

Oh Lisa- you disappointed me this week. I thought you were on the same page with Adrienne about putting that incident in the past. Why revive that dead horse?

I hope Cedric is sincere (not that I would wish his past on any child) and that your family isn't being played. I love all your scenes with him!

I kinnae wait until Thursday's episode! Is that your friend, Martin, in the limo when Kyle explodes at Kim? Crikey!

taylor did what she did because she dopes not want anyone to discuss that new york thing. everyone should have known when camille came down stairs and it began all over again. no one was up stairs with camille but taylor. no one spoke to camille about the airport but taylor. and i think this is why taylor does not want kyle alone with lisa. watch your back lisa. it's hell pulling out knives.

If you knew what Taylor did why didn't you tell Kyle about it? That's not something a good friend would do. Even at the dinner at Camille's no one came to Kyle's defense...that's not frendship to me.

It appears when Cedric feels the heat to find a life of his own, he pulls out all the stops to draw you back in. From the snippets we viewer see, it doesn't appear he is doing much of anything but sponging off of you all. It is time he put on his big boy pants and forge a life for himself!

Taylor is tacky in all respects. She is so unhappy (I think even more so than Camille) that she enjoys poking her nose in and getting under peoples skin. Kyle will have to get burned before she wises up.

Lisa- You are my favorite of all the BH's housewives. I was irritated right along with you at your lunch with Kyle that Taylor butted into - uninvited (can anyone say AIRTIME?). The way they BOTH behaved was ridiculous, and Kyle owes you an apology (along with Taylor for butting in). After all, it couldn't have happened that way without Kyle's consent and participation. I truly hope Kyle reflects and can see that YOU have been and will be a TRUE/LOYAL friend, before she ruins the relationship with antics like that, much like the way she has treated her blood, her loyal sister Kim. I have been watching Kyle for weeks now treat her sister worse than one would treat a stray dog, while embracing everyone else around her--including people she just met who are of questionable(shady) character (Taylor) who lie, and who pit themselves against her sister. NO WAY would I take up a friendship with a person that treated my sister so badly, and I am so disappointed that Kyle has because I started out liking her so much. It was disturbing to watch Kyle treat Kim and you so inconsiderately. And the kicker is....Kim was right all along about Taylor. She DID say that Camille was insecure, but then Taylor goes to Camille(behind everyone's back! and AFTER Kyle and Camille quashed their issues!) and relates what everyone else said about her at the airport, leaving her part completely out of it. Why???? What motivates a person to do such a thing? Nothing good that's for sure. I have watched Taylor over many episodes and have come to the conclusion that she is an opportunist. She wants air time...and so will play both sides, deny her part, possibly even contrive past history? ....anything to get air time and to get sympathy from each housewife so as to up the odds of her chances of being in every scene, and to try and garner sympathy from the viewers too. We are smarter than that and see right through it. Sorry but that's how I see it. Lisa....you though are the best. Your compass is right on!!

Great blog as always, Lisa! The restaurant scene was very uncomfortable to watch. Kyle should have checked with you before inviting Taylor. And Taylor obviously has some issues that she needs to work through... ugh! But you and your husband are always a high spot on the show. Always look forward to what you have to say!

Lisa, I'm glad that you can see thru Taylor and Cedric, but I think you're overlooking Kyle's many many many faults. She was obviously trying to make you jealous of her friendship with Taylor for her own ego. Seems like everything is about power and fame with her. True friends don't make you compete for their attention.

Lisa is the Best RHW of all! Makes me laugh every week, I want Jiggy to divorce Mrs. Wrinkles and marry my malti-poo Sully ( he would have to switch sides but that's OK)! xoxo

You are absolutely de-lisa-ous with you beauty, wit and style, never dull with your honesty. Seldom does one with your status come across so down to earth. It goes without saying, everyone seems to just want to watch more of you and your persona. It would be wonderful if all of us had the chance to just be you for a day.

Hi Lisa,

I think you are very real. I like you with all your qualities and defects. It has been a pleasure knowing you through this show.

The best for you and your beautiful family.

You are hardly boring. You could read the phone book and make it sound fascinating. I did notice that you seemed suspicious of what may have transpired to make Camille go batty in NYC. You were the only one to question it again and again. Obviously, you are a very perceptive, intellectual lady. I am surprised that you probably feel that Cedric has milked his alleged nasty past to full advantage of your kind and giving heart. I'm not sure his story is completely accurate. He seems like a con artist. He has no ambition or pride. That screams, "red flag" to me.

Sunday afternoon's are so relaxing... I was hoping you'd update your Blog. Would you and Ken be willing to help Cedric get moved out on his own? I mean find a moderately priced little apt. or studio apt. (not in Beverly Hills, of course) and pay for the 1st 6 months so he can work and save his money then take over the rent, electricity and water bill in 6 months. This is plenty of time for him to get his act together. Be fair, but stern at the same time, or he's never going to leave. You and Ken have been very generous to Cedric and you shouldn't feel guilty. Pandora and Max are on their own and if you feel Cedric is really like a family member then you need to treat him like one. He just want's to do what he want's to do. Time to grow up Cedric... As far as Taylor goes, she's as mixed up as Camille and I feel bad for both of them. Camille's marriage is over and Taylor's is heading in that direction. I've heard Russell say that he's not going to bed mad anymore. That was the episode when Adrienne's Uncle passed away. Russell told the guy's at their little "Drink with the guy's night". Russell asked Ken how he's stayed happily married for 28 years. Ken said, don't go to bed mad. I think Taylor's interest from the beginning was to find a husband that can give her the things she's always wanted. She said, when she saw him across the room in the big Cowboy hat that she had to have him. She didn't even know him, but he looked impressive to her, remember? Be understanding and kind Lisa, because that's who you are. Jealousy is kid stuff. That's not the big issue here. These women have serious problems and need some good, sound advice and you and Kyle have the great, long lasting marriage's. You are a true friend and a lady in every way. Good luck with your friends. xoxo

Bravo Dear Lisa!!!! You are so real and so intuitive. I don't like Taylor's shenanigans either and I'm glad you see right through her. Taylor stirring up trouble is like entertainment to her. I think you know more about Cedric than we the viewers know at this time. You are very wise and I would love to have you as one of my friends.

I am still in awe of the fabulous arrangements you've created for your restaurant. ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!! They are larger than life.

Lisa, You are the star of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Love seeing you each week and wish they included more of you! (Hear that Bravo - more Lisa and company!) You are obviously a lovely, intelligent person and it is my pleasure to watch you and your family open your lives to us each week! Tally ho and many thanks!

Yes, Lisa! I am in total agreement with you about Taylor. I have never trusted nor particularly liked her. She is not genuine like you and Adrienne, and seems to be very insecure. No doubt much of her issue stems from a tumultuous upbringing, lack of intimacy in her marriage, and the strong desire to climb the social status ladder. Nevertheless, trust your instinct with her!

i simply adore you and Ken! You are both personable, humorous, and just plain fun. I know that the situation with Cedric in looming overhead, but it will all work out in due time. I truly hope that RHWOBH returns and with you in it! Love you! :)

Lisa, I've enjoyed watching all of the Real Housewives "cities" (with the exception of DC) but none so much as Beverly Hills and it's due to you! (Kyle, too!). It is so refreshing to see a woman like you who isn't self-obsessed, has a great head on her shoulders and is able to laugh at herself, too. And one who is honest and tells it like it is. I will truly miss seeing you every week (and sweet little Giggy, too!). Now, please don't record a song or you'll blow my image of you!!!!! Wishing you and your luck and love!

Lisa, I feel sorry for Cedric. One of my dearest friends is a child of rape. Her mother treated her horribly, blamed her for all of their financial problems, told her she wished she had aborted her or thrown her in a dumpster and did all kinds of terrible things to her while she was growing up. It wasn't a stranger who raped her mother, it was someone she worked with, and he never went to jail. Back then the police didn't recognize acquaintance rape as a real crime I guess. He continued to live in their small town and my friend knew who he was, because her mother pointed him out for her when she was about 10 years old. She was terrified of him and managed to avoid ever speaking to him.

She left home at 16, moved far away, and eventually got her nursing degree and married a wonderful man. They have two nice daughters. The best thing my friend ever did was to get away from her mother. She's the bravest person I know, but she still wishes that her life had been different and that her mother had found a way to love her. Her mother even had the nerve a couple of years ago to turn up looking for money. That was when she told me the whole story about her childhood. Her situation is so complicated and so hard for me to imagine, because my parents are dear people who took such good care of my brothers and me and I never felt anything but loved and happy.

I can see why Cedric yearns for his mother's love, and I see why you feel a motherly instinct toward him. The thing that worries me is that if she sees him on television and figures out who he is, she might also show up wanting money from him or, heaven forbid, to move into your house as well. If this happens, I hope he'll be careful. And I hope that he finds the strength soon to go out on his own.

Take care Lisa. I think you're a terrific mother and your husband is a kind sweet man. Love from Susan

Lisa Thank You. Thank you for being the one who finally has called out Taylor for her two-faced behavior in New York. Ever since the New York episode I've been waiting for someone to address the issue and you finally did it. Kudos!! You just went from being my second favorite Beverly Hills housewife (a close second behind Kyle) to my absolute favorite. I will say that poor Kim has been trying to bring up the issue and just can't seem to express herself well enough. I wonder why Kyle' can't see through Taylor. She is so transparent. Lisa it has been a joy to watch you this season. You really are the real deal. Funny, wise, loyal and a loving mother, and you don't tolerate the "BS". Can't wait for the finale and the Reunion Show!!!

Lisa, you are so entertaining to watch. You are nobody's fool, that's for sure! But you are also a lovely, compassionate lady. And by the way, where can I buy the beautiful sequined-glittery butterfly napkin holder you used when you had Adrienne over for tea?? I'm in love with it! (You also have excellent taste)!

I love you but you are to nice. Get mad sometime. Let go and kick that grown man out of your house
