Kris Chats With Faye Resnick Over Chips On 'KUWTK'

by Kristie Rohwedder

On one side of the vast area of Southern California that is the County of Los Angeles, the Kardashian-Jenner brood kicked off Season 10 of Keeping Up with the Kardashians Sunday night with a pool party AND a viewing party. About 30 miles east of where the royal family of the reality television kingdom resides, I celebrated the season premiere in my own Kristie way; while I watched the episode in my A/C-less apartment, I wished the glass of water sitting on the table in front of me would turn into a swimming pool. It’s so hot here. Why is it so hot here? It’s only March. I can't stop sweating. I'm going to lose my mind. This weather is my March Madness. Wait, wait! Don't go! I'm done talking about the weather. I promise. From here on out, it's all about KUWTK.

Here’s the Reader’s Digest rundown of the first episode of Season 10: Kim Kardashian is “so on a mission to get pregnant”; Khloe Kardashian boots French Montana out of the house; Brody Jenner says that if Kanye West and Reggie Bush were in a burning building and only one could be saved, he would rescue Reggie; Bruce Jenner hangs out with Kris Jenner’s pal, and though Bruce swears the hangouts are platonic, Kris's feelings are hurt; Kris and Bruce’s separation has driven a wedge between the Jenners and the Kardashians; in the middle of a photo shoot, Kim and Kanye go to the bone zone in a bathroom; the “Bruce on the loose” party happens; the “Kris J. needs a lei” family dinner happens; the “Kris needs a piss” party doesn't happen.

Oops, I omitted something from that list. Something major. Toward the beginning of Sunday night's premiere, THREE of my favorite reality television programs collided into each other. It was a most beautiful collision, indeed.

Over lunch at Casa Vega, Kris Jenner and longtime pal Faye Resnick discuss adjusting to post-divorce life. Yes, the Faye Resnick who played a major role in the infamous "Dinner Party From Hell" episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. And yes, the Casa Vega that was on Flipping Out . The restaurant renovation that seemed to last forever. The boulder Jeff Lewis had to roll up a never-ending hill. It was the uncredited star of the series.

Kris Jenner + Faye Resnick + Casa Vega. WHAT A COMBO. If someone gave that trifecta their very own show, I'd set up that season pass faster than you can say "guacamole." I can see it now: for forty minutes, Kris and Faye gossip over enchiladas and margaritas at Casa Vega. And for the last 20 minutes of the episode, a third reality TV personality would hop in the booth for an interview. It'd be a talk show held at a restaurant. The name: Morally Korrupt Chips & Dip.

Wow. I really outdid myself this time. I will Secret that idea until it becomes reality (show).
