00:53 unfortunately, I just want Kyle, but believe it or not, she's the youngest, but she's the strongest.

01:00 She's bossiest. Is that true? And Nikki's that way with you. So, I'm the youngest and I'm the

01:30 they're going to get back together. They spent Thanksgiving together. Honestly, you're asking me?

01:35 Yeah. There's no way that Kyle would have gone this far unless she really thought about it.

01:41 Yeah. She's looking hotter than ever though. Yeah, sure. You're very close with your aunt.

01:49 Okay. But then the dating's going to start. Yeah. You're going to have to give advice there.

02:29 gratitude." As for Kyle, she confirmed to E! News' Kelty Knight at BravoCon earlier this month

02:37 that the pair plans to spend the holiday season together.

02:40 "And how will you do the holidays? This will be a tough holiday.

02:44 That's the million dollar question. You guys talked about it? Yes, we have. Probably we're

02:49 going to all be together in Aspen. Yeah. We did our summer trip together. We were fine.

02:54 You're in the Gwyneth Paltrow, the conscious, uncoupling, where you're just like, okay. Yes.

02:59 You know, when you really do love someone that much, it doesn't just go away no matter what

03:04 the circumstances are. And we're putting our love for each other in front of all the other issues

03:09 and putting our family first, so."
