Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave: Their Idea of a Potluck Was Bringing a Plate of Drama

Teddi knew she'd be mocked for hosting a potluck for these ladies.

The RHOBH Ladies Prepare to Potluck

I just wanted to have the ladies down to relax on the beach and play some cornhole (after explaining to them what exactly cornhole is). I love that Dorit and I could joke about being late and stemless glasses. But soon, we were in a situation with Kyle, Dorit, and Lisa Vanderpump, which I found out had to do with Kyle “defending” me. I was so wrapped up in unpacking groceries and saving those brown Whole Foods bags (those bitches cost me ten cents!) that I missed a lot of the conversation. I really appreciated Kyle trying to help me out on the boat, so I was baffled at why Dorit was so upset that Kyle “butted in” on our conversation when Lisa Vanderpump did the same thing first.

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills on Bravo Tuesdays at 8/7c and next day on Peacock. Catch up on the Bravo App.

I knew I'd get mocked for the idea of a potluck (everybody knows the jello with the pretzels on the bottom is the way to go, Erika), but I wanted to keep it real and see if any of these women would partake and just be easygoing about it. Little did I know that their idea of a potluck was for each to bring a plate of drama.

I know what you’re thinking: “I didn’t realize Teddi was so down-to-earth. Man, if only she would have told us in previous episodes how laid back she is.” I just want to be clear: I’m not saying I don’t have money—I’m just saying I’m frugal. And I don’t flaunt things because I don’t care. This is The REAL Housewives of Beverly Hills, so I’m just being me. Five bedroom beach house/cottage/whatever and all.
