1996.533

But not far. Not far. They're like, yeah. Who looks the most different without makeup? Like, yeah, that's essential if you're ugly or not. Who looks awful without makeup?

The Viall Files

E902 - RHOA w/ Crystal and Cynthia, Dasha, Fantasy Suites, Summer House, Southern Charm & Temptation Island

2006.559

Yeah, like all that stuff. All those things. But they asked the panel who was the most annoying housewife. And it was actually Phaedra that came up with Chanel. But it's like, you know, it's like collective answers and you want to move fast, right? Yeah, but we were a group. Yeah, so like, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.

The Viall Files

E902 - RHOA w/ Crystal and Cynthia, Dasha, Fantasy Suites, Summer House, Southern Charm & Temptation Island

The Viall Files

E902 - RHOA w/ Crystal and Cynthia, Dasha, Fantasy Suites, Summer House, Southern Charm & Temptation Island

2063.143

Yeah. So that's what happens. She called me. It's very sad. It's like, you know, I know she's your girl, but what's going on? I thought we were cool. I was like, dude, it's not that serious. I said, I'm sure she didn't come up with your name. And then I try to, I'm always like, you know, trying to be like everyone's friend. I'm like, you know what? Now they're talking about it.

The Viall Files

E902 - RHOA w/ Crystal and Cynthia, Dasha, Fantasy Suites, Summer House, Southern Charm & Temptation Island

2086.619

No, just like, annoying. I was like, oh, it's great, you know? They're talking about you, whatever.

The Viall Files

E902 - RHOA w/ Crystal and Cynthia, Dasha, Fantasy Suites, Summer House, Southern Charm & Temptation Island

2108.556

So then it became a little bit of a thing. No one bats a thousand. No one does. Well...

The Viall Files

E902 - RHOA w/ Crystal and Cynthia, Dasha, Fantasy Suites, Summer House, Southern Charm & Temptation Island

2129.486

Oh, well, during the squashing and honestly, like I knew she was going to be like high energy when she came on. But and I and I brought it up. I mean, I'm like, hey, let's talk about it because I knew it was going to be talked about. And I kind of thought it was going to be like, well, this would happen. But we love each other now. That's sort of how I deal with things.

The Viall Files

E902 - RHOA w/ Crystal and Cynthia, Dasha, Fantasy Suites, Summer House, Southern Charm & Temptation Island

2147.887

But it got slightly more heated because it was a little bit more like, well, that's not what happened. So I was a little surprised. But Cynthia was very clear about actually what happened. And I don't know why you're going to heat. I'm actually shocked. But I was there.

The Viall Files

E902 - RHOA w/ Crystal and Cynthia, Dasha, Fantasy Suites, Summer House, Southern Charm & Temptation Island

2166.103

Oh, I was very clear with her. When she called me, she goes, Cynthia came in hot. I was like, well, you need to bring context.

The Viall Files

E902 - RHOA w/ Crystal and Cynthia, Dasha, Fantasy Suites, Summer House, Southern Charm & Temptation Island

2179.289

She knows. And she admitted it. I go, no, no, you were a 10. She was a two.

The Viall Files

E902 - RHOA w/ Crystal and Cynthia, Dasha, Fantasy Suites, Summer House, Southern Charm & Temptation Island

2260.382

are you where do you stand well I don't I feel like people need to pay their bills and so like that's my what is that like edgy no I think you should pay your bills that's more passive aggressive okay I don't know I'm like pay your bills and also like you guys know I'm not I can be quite cheap so it's like I don't I don't want to buy something I

The Viall Files

E902 - RHOA w/ Crystal and Cynthia, Dasha, Fantasy Suites, Summer House, Southern Charm & Temptation Island

2348.522

So he did say that. So I feel like it was I think the part of the hotel bill was paid, but then she hadn't paid for his services yet. I mean, four months is a long time not to pay. She did end up what it sounded like squaring up. But I think it's also like Tracy probably just doesn't like I love Tracy, by the way. So like we're. really good friends.

The Viall Files

E902 - RHOA w/ Crystal and Cynthia, Dasha, Fantasy Suites, Summer House, Southern Charm & Temptation Island

2368.411

But I just think that there's just like history of, you know, rumors that Dorit doesn't pay certain bills. I remember last my last reunion, she didn't pay her nurse who she did some kind of cosmetic surgery, a private nurse. So that came up at the reunion. I'm just saying that because I came up already. But then she like settled up after that.

The Viall Files

E902 - RHOA w/ Crystal and Cynthia, Dasha, Fantasy Suites, Summer House, Southern Charm & Temptation Island

2434.889

I'm very upset. I feel like you've spent so much time with me already. I've taught you stuff. I want to be cheap about glam. What do you mean by glam? No, no, no.

The Viall Files

E902 - RHOA w/ Crystal and Cynthia, Dasha, Fantasy Suites, Summer House, Southern Charm & Temptation Island

2486.307

What's that? Yeah. But even that, no one's getting glam on the boat. Like, I don't know why you spend that kind of money.

The Viall Files

E902 - RHOA w/ Crystal and Cynthia, Dasha, Fantasy Suites, Summer House, Southern Charm & Temptation Island

2495.253

Girl, I go to a Dodger, a Laker game, a Rams game every week. I'm not getting glam for it. That's insane. But you're not like a glam girl, though.

The Viall Files

E902 - RHOA w/ Crystal and Cynthia, Dasha, Fantasy Suites, Summer House, Southern Charm & Temptation Island

2509.284

I just find that kind of a ridiculous expense. That's unnecessary. That's personal.

The Viall Files

E902 - RHOA w/ Crystal and Cynthia, Dasha, Fantasy Suites, Summer House, Southern Charm & Temptation Island

2516.69

Here's the thing. Do I think his video was kind of long-winded to get there? Yes. Yes. However, I understand as like an individual like service provider, if you are being accused of essentially stealing someone's credit card, you're going to defend yourself as well. Right. She said he used it without he wasn't allowed to use it.

The Viall Files

E902 - RHOA w/ Crystal and Cynthia, Dasha, Fantasy Suites, Summer House, Southern Charm & Temptation Island

2535.603

Yeah. That's what she said. He used my credit card without authorization. That is accusing someone of stealing money. I mean, that's a big accusation on national television. Yeah. So I actually appreciated it because he was honest. He's like, I, well, from what I, I mean, I'm taking it as honesty is that he said it was actually paid.

The Viall Files

E902 - RHOA w/ Crystal and Cynthia, Dasha, Fantasy Suites, Summer House, Southern Charm & Temptation Island

2557.466

I didn't know, but she never paid me until about for the glam stuff, not the hotels. So it was clearly misunderstanding on that part. But accusing someone of using your credit card also. And maybe that's her experience. I don't know.

The Viall Files

E902 - RHOA w/ Crystal and Cynthia, Dasha, Fantasy Suites, Summer House, Southern Charm & Temptation Island

2581.621

I mean, I was a question. She could be like, no, he's a hater. He's a hater. Oh, no, I don't hate her. I don't hate any of these people. Like, I actually really respect all the girls who do Housewives. Like, it's such a tough job.

The Viall Files

E902 - RHOA w/ Crystal and Cynthia, Dasha, Fantasy Suites, Summer House, Southern Charm & Temptation Island

2595.704

You know, it's so hard. I have so much respect. They put a lot of effort. Her to put her in, like, blast her kid's father on television for a year. It's like, that's intense. Like, you got to really, you're working for your paycheck for that one. Because you know your kids are going to watch that one day. You know, I would not do that personally.

The Viall Files

E902 - RHOA w/ Crystal and Cynthia, Dasha, Fantasy Suites, Summer House, Southern Charm & Temptation Island

2611.687

But like, I also respect that you have to, like, pay your bills. I mean, I just think her bills are high. They're high bills. Like I just would not for those kinds of things. It's not my thing.

The Viall Files

E902 - RHOA w/ Crystal and Cynthia, Dasha, Fantasy Suites, Summer House, Southern Charm & Temptation Island

2654.469

It sounded like four months. He said four months. That's a long time.

The Viall Files

E902 - RHOA w/ Crystal and Cynthia, Dasha, Fantasy Suites, Summer House, Southern Charm & Temptation Island

2669.459

Shut up. Is that true? No. Wait, what? Aren't you blocked? Oh, no, it's Jeff. Jeff is blocked.

The Viall Files

E902 - RHOA w/ Crystal and Cynthia, Dasha, Fantasy Suites, Summer House, Southern Charm & Temptation Island

2703.937

No. I don't think she's on social media like that. That's not like hidden news. I think she's one of those girls who are like, don't read it.

The Viall Files

E902 - RHOA w/ Crystal and Cynthia, Dasha, Fantasy Suites, Summer House, Southern Charm & Temptation Island

2727.632

I don't know. I think she's, you know, I talked to Cynthia. Oh, okay. I'm on a boat. I have like all my friends. She's on a yacht. Like I said, like they're all, like I would be totally fine in a room with any of them. I just, it's like coworkers and you know, and some lean slightly more towards friends. But I also have my

The Viall Files

E902 - RHOA w/ Crystal and Cynthia, Dasha, Fantasy Suites, Summer House, Southern Charm & Temptation Island

2940.763

You know, at least it's all together. Just like get through today.

The Viall Files

E902 - RHOA w/ Crystal and Cynthia, Dasha, Fantasy Suites, Summer House, Southern Charm & Temptation Island

3018.872

Why am I being blown up? I agree. I would rather have that direct because I would just see it online. Absolutely. And then no one says anything, so it's constantly, like, passive-aggressive and fear-based, everything. That's true. Where this is like direct, like, yo, I didn't like that. She's like, I got to give you a little smoke, Miss Bailey.

The Viall Files

E902 - RHOA w/ Crystal and Cynthia, Dasha, Fantasy Suites, Summer House, Southern Charm & Temptation Island

3036.686

But the smoke is to promote the show. It's all part of the game, right?

The Viall Files

E902 - RHOA w/ Crystal and Cynthia, Dasha, Fantasy Suites, Summer House, Southern Charm & Temptation Island

3333.977

Drew texted you and was like, it was fair, right? You felt it was fair?

The Viall Files

E902 - RHOA w/ Crystal and Cynthia, Dasha, Fantasy Suites, Summer House, Southern Charm & Temptation Island

3374.798

So if there's a little smoke bomb that comes your way. But isn't it funny? Because you do it so long ago, so you kind of forget the things that you say. I honestly forgot.

The Viall Files

E902 - RHOA w/ Crystal and Cynthia, Dasha, Fantasy Suites, Summer House, Southern Charm & Temptation Island

3391.607

But it made it funny. Yeah. But I watched it this morning. I was like, Cynthia's going to.

The Viall Files

E902 - RHOA w/ Crystal and Cynthia, Dasha, Fantasy Suites, Summer House, Southern Charm & Temptation Island

3477.475

No, I mean, the reason I brought her up was because I thought I couldn't believe people were giving her shit about it because I didn't want people to do that because she's struggling so much. You know, so I texted her. I said, look, like you got to just do whatever's right for you each day. It's like it's all too much. It's so intense right now.

The Viall Files

E902 - RHOA w/ Crystal and Cynthia, Dasha, Fantasy Suites, Summer House, Southern Charm & Temptation Island

3493.744

And, you know, Teddy and I have so many mutual friends. It's really, really an intense situation. But in terms of. Salt Lake. I don't know. I mean, I guess a good housewife is erratic and emotional and, you know, spontaneous. Maybe that's how they feel. It's like the opposite of my personality. I would wait until every single, you know, contract is signed until I make any moves like that.

The Viall Files

E902 - RHOA w/ Crystal and Cynthia, Dasha, Fantasy Suites, Summer House, Southern Charm & Temptation Island

3518.286

But it certainly created buzz, right? And maybe it helped her get her contract signed, if that was it. I have no idea.

The Viall Files

E902 - RHOA w/ Crystal and Cynthia, Dasha, Fantasy Suites, Summer House, Southern Charm & Temptation Island

3608.408

Yeah. So maybe it's performative. And now it's the topic of what...

The Viall Files

E902 - RHOA w/ Crystal and Cynthia, Dasha, Fantasy Suites, Summer House, Southern Charm & Temptation Island

3627.773

By the way, that's what they're setting up for the drama. It's like easy drama that they can now film. So maybe that's what it was for. It doesn't seem like a big deal.

The Viall Files

E902 - RHOA w/ Crystal and Cynthia, Dasha, Fantasy Suites, Summer House, Southern Charm & Temptation Island

3640.555

quit in order to give me well i wouldn't fake quit just because i wouldn't want my bosses to see me fake quit i think that's a problem like i don't know that's to me then you gotta like fake go back yeah that's a fake quit and then you gotta go back and then is storming off ever staged yeah oh really storming off like like a reunion yeah of course it is and by and by stage is that coming from you know

The Viall Files

E902 - RHOA w/ Crystal and Cynthia, Dasha, Fantasy Suites, Summer House, Southern Charm & Temptation Island

3674.997

It's like a personal plan of like, I'm going to walk off. I think that's a personal plan. No, I don't think producers want you to walk off. I mean, I think if they do, they're happy because it creates more, you know, like it's like a commercial break. You know, but no, I don't. I mean, but no producer to ever say that to me because they know I wouldn't walk off. That's not my personality.

The Viall Files

E902 - RHOA w/ Crystal and Cynthia, Dasha, Fantasy Suites, Summer House, Southern Charm & Temptation Island

3732.412

Oh, God, I don't know. That I don't know. What do you suspect? Divorce money. I mean, a lot of people don't get divorced. It's a constant conversation in my world. People don't get divorced because it's so expensive. So even if they don't, I don't know if it's like, I mean, marriage is a business, guys. I mean, you can love someone and not be married.

The Viall Files

E902 - RHOA w/ Crystal and Cynthia, Dasha, Fantasy Suites, Summer House, Southern Charm & Temptation Island

3750.676

You can love someone and be married, but marriage is a business at the end of the day, and they've built a massive business together. So if they don't get divorced, I don't think it's, you know.

The Viall Files

E902 - RHOA w/ Crystal and Cynthia, Dasha, Fantasy Suites, Summer House, Southern Charm & Temptation Island

3761.559

Well, I don't think anyone wants it. You just, it's, well, yeah, yeah. I guess you could say that. Like, we don't want to get divorced because it's too expensive and we're happy in our situation. I guess you could do that. But then how would you, how would you have a whole season of drama? Yeah, they got, she has to be like a bitch. You can't just say that about the girls in the airport.

The Viall Files

E902 - RHOA w/ Crystal and Cynthia, Dasha, Fantasy Suites, Summer House, Southern Charm & Temptation Island

3779.991

Well, I guess maybe we have to wait till they do that next season. I don't know. I mean, I can't say I'm really watching it, so I don't know. I feel bad when I watch those scenes together. I'm not interested in someone's divorce. It is sad to watch those scenes together. Yeah, I don't want to watch anyone's divorce.

The Viall Files

E902 - RHOA w/ Crystal and Cynthia, Dasha, Fantasy Suites, Summer House, Southern Charm & Temptation Island

3806.152

Yeah. I just think I put myself in her together anymore. They're not going to be together. Yeah.

The Viall Files

E902 - RHOA w/ Crystal and Cynthia, Dasha, Fantasy Suites, Summer House, Southern Charm & Temptation Island

3823.447

But, you know, the fact that they're filming together, maybe there is something. Who knows? Or they're just used to their lives being so played out. I don't know. On TV. I don't know. But. Yeah, I think it'll be forever.
