"The thing about Katie is that I don't want her to be a liar. I really like Katie. I find her kind, sympathetic, and funny. (She's also gorgeous and can wear the hell out of some clothes, which makes her pleasant to watch and should be beside the point, but is not. I'm shallow. Sorry.) However, Housewives can't operate with liars, period. Production can't trust them, women can't trust them, and, most importantly, fans can't trust them."
"Heather hasn't lied about anything of substance other than that she called the paparazzi on herself. Jenn, who is sincere down to her yoga pants, does not seem like a liar. (Ryan, on the other hand ... the vibes are off.) That leaves us with Tamra, Gretchen, and Katie. Tamra is not a liar, but she will spread a fake story if it serves her agenda, and twist or withhold the truth if it doesn't."
Polygraph tests were used selectively and are unreliable, while cast members lied repeatedly. Some women show no evidence of lying, including Gina, Emily, and Shannon. Heather's only notable untruth was calling the paparazzi on herself. Jenn appears sincere and trustworthy. Tamra spreads fake stories or twists facts when it serves her agenda. Gretchen and Katie were caught lying multiple times this season and are untrustworthy. Polygraph results are embraced when convenient and rejected when inconvenient. Trust among the women, production, and viewers is fractured, turning interactions into a constant game of choosing sides.
