Sutton's daughter looks just like her. They share the same eyes, etc.

But honestly as a new viewer to the franchise, I find Sutton to be the most compelling of everyone. She's quirky, she's Southern (which I love - my family is from Mississippi and Kentucky), but she's also weirdly relatable despite her access to wealth. I find her story to be so alluring bc it's shrouded in so much mystery. When she reveals anything it's paired with such an unexpected tale, and then her way of storytelling is just... magnetic. I really like her, and to see her have such a lovely relationship with her kids while navigating a new lead-in to being on her own? She's everything.
 
It must be infuriating for Kyle to find someone who is so magnetic and effortlessly likeable like Sutton; so outside of the shape Kyle has forced herself to mold into, (palatable, conventionally attractive, QuiRkY etc.) Sutton is authentically herself and loved for it. Kyle really has never known how to be so painfully genuine.
 
She/Her
Kyle is very strategic. She picks people to align with that she thinks will give her, by extension, the best reception and optics. But it's very clear her motives - you can see the gears grinding in her head. Everything feels engineered...but none of it fun.

And Kyle has always been that way. The wildest thing to me is it‘s so transparent, but here she still is thirteen years later still doing the same thing.

The way she’s clearly intimidated by Sutton’s honesty, likability and popularity is exactly the way she looked at Lisa Vanderpump too. Big Kathy really did a number on those girls, but there’s a point you need to snap out of it and ask yourself “How do I make my life better?” If that’s scissoring, Kyle, go for it sis.

That's my takeaway. I have so much sympathy for her honestly. In the field of social work, you can clearly learn why people have their own reservations about how they express themselves. And I feel like from what I've seen, she's learned to build walls around her feelings bc of things that have affected her. One's need for control of their own narrative usually comes from that control being levied by someone else before.

It's a tipping scale. You can see that she has things to unpack, but also, she chooses to pack up with the wrong girls. It's just messy overall.

I knew you'd be a Little Slutton like the best of us

Her BH journey since 10 has been so great.
 
Denise bitching about Erika at every opportunity whilst in the same room as her will never not be funny to me. She absolutely loathes The Pretty Mess (as she should). The fact that she made those jokes about her lip syncing... only for Erika to prove her right by coming on and lip syncing. The laugh I let out.
 
Its almost comforting to know this season went exactly as most suspected. A bunch of nothing and after all those episodes, just a load of teases, some last minute pick up footage and still no pay off on the Kyle situation. Sutton utterly carried this season on her whole back.

If not for her, it would have been utterly forgettable from start to finish.
