Over on the Bravo Blogs for Real Housewives of Orange County, there is already some back and forth between Heather and Shannon. Last week Shannon claimed in her blog that that she didn’t know the spooky party at Tamra’s was a costume party. She also claims that Heather abandoned her and did not introduce when they first walked in. Heather counters this week by saying that it was not a costume party and that she knew Tamra was going to wear goth make-up so due to her blemish issues she added the third eye. She said she texted the whole third eye situation to Shannon. She says that she didn’t ditch Shannon and Shannon just jumped right in the party and started chatting up the other girls. She did say that she should have made the introductions right away instead of waiting.
So, let the drama begin. Clearly Shannon is going to jump into the Vicki and Tamra plot to throw Heather from the train. Here is what Heather has to say about the most recent episode. By the way, both Shannon and Heather seem frustrated by the editing and lack of back story for some of their behaviors.
Dinner at Shannon’s house was very awkward, for many reasons, but supremely delicious! Shannon is an exceptional cook. What you didn’t see was that Tamra was not being very nice to me from the moment she arrived at the party. She turned her back to me in group conversations, made a few snide remarks and then just walked away. I also felt that Tamra and Vicki were cutting me off every time I tried to speak that evening. This made me especially sensitive and annoyed when Vicki was doing the same thing to Shannon during dinner. Not only is Shannon our hostess, but we are getting to know her, let her speak.
I didn’t join the basketball game because, honestly, at this point I was ready to go home. Tamra and Vicki were being so weird and rude to me all night, I didn’t feel welcome. When I walked in the kitchen to get my purse and say my goodbyes, Tamra said “No fancy pants here!” I was clearly not wanted. The morning after pill comment wasn’t serious, but truthfully at this point it doesn’t matter what I say. If laying down on someone’s kitchen counter at a dinner party makes you part of this “fun bus,” I will take the train.
Having said all of that, I feel TERRIBLE about talking to Eddie about the baby issue. He’s right, it’s absolutely none of my business. I think at the time I meant to be helpful. If Tamra had gone to Terry because she was worried about me I wonder if he would have taken it the same way? I’m not sure, but watching it back, it was clearly the wrong decision.
I would never do anything intentionally to hurt Tamra or Eddie. Despite our issues right now, Tamra is my friend. I am truly sorry to Tamra and Eddie for my actions. This is between them, period. On the upside, at least I gave Tamra something to actually be mad at me about.
“Friendsgiving” dinner: It’s so ironic that while cooking dinner the girls are talking about me behind my back, JUDGING me for who am, and yet — I am the one that makes THEM feel bad? I’m sorry Tamra feels she can’t be herself around me. I’ve always valued the fact that although we are different, we have mutual respect for each other and allow the other to be their true selves without judgment. Maybe I was wrong.
Lunch with Tamra: I was really happy that Tamra reached out to me to have lunch. I hate the animosity between us. I don’t understand why it started in the first place, and I want it to end. I love what Tamra said about not running away from the problems between us like she has in the past with friends, that our friendship is worth more. I feel the same way. I also told her that day that one of the things I’ve learned from her is to take more risks and try new things. Tamra is fearless and I love that quality. I only wish she had told me that I was out of line by talking to Eddie. I thought everything was cleared up between us, but not quite yet…
Because my DVR stopped a bit early, I thought maybe they would get to the Eddie and the baby topic at that lunch, perhaps on the next episode but it doesn’t look like that is happening. In other news, Vicki apologizes to Heather for talking about her behind her back. Here’s what she said in her blog.
I felt really bad watching the episode where Heather overheard Tamra talking about her “having a stick up her butt.” Heather is a great person, and the thought of any of us talking bad about her behind her back made me feel sad. Heather had a great point she told Tamra at lunch talking about the differences in people and their personalities, and to learn to accept one another the way we are. So Heather — if you’re reading this, please accept my apologies and I love you!
If she’s reading this? Apparently these ladies don’t hang out at all when they are not filming. Tamra has not blogged since her last blog about her custody problems.
Heather’s backstory info was helpful… I can totally see Heather’s POV. It seems like Tamra and Vicki just decided to be mean that day. The editing made it seem like Heather was being snippy for no reason.
The basketball thing was just mean and hateful on the part of Vicki and Tamra. Playing was a choice NOT mandatory. They CHOSE to play; Heather didn’t. PERIOD! As a hostess, Shannon kind of sucked, IMO.
“I will take the train” lol
I know I’m changing the subject. …but I just saw a commercial that Gretchen and Slade are going to be on Marriage Boot Camp Reality Stars. I’m pretty sure they aren’t married. …but then again she was never a housewife. More trash tv…I just can’t.
Soooo…I love Heather. I don’t know if it was editing or what but the way it was showed on the show, Heather talked to Eddie after she heard Tamara talking about her. Again, it was probably editing that made her look bad but I do think her apology was sincere. I think her comments to Eddie where probably brought on by her feeling ostracized by the girls(Vicki and Tamara) and just wanted someone to talk to so she didn’t look like the Lone Ranger. I don’t think she meant for it to cause issues, I think she just wanted something to talk to Eddie about that would continue the conversation without him shutting it down and leaving her alone. Perhaps she thought he would talk to her so she could give Tamara better advice, (either at the party or away from the party so she still felt like she was apart of the team) unfortunately, it back fired. Not only was she left alone with the thought of a stick up her ass, but she now had to deal with Eddie being annoyed that the stick up her ass had traveled into their business. Again, I love heather, I do think she has a stick up her ass, a stick we all hopefully have that leads us to not act a fool on reality tv. Thank TT for the breakdown. Love you lots!!!!!
It’s seems like Heather and Tamra may have already moved on in real life. They are all nice and sweet to each other on twitter. And both have apologized again to each other in tweets for the past couple of episodes. Good for them I guess!!
Hey Tamara! (That’s my name too!) Thanks for the info! This goes along with my feelings about this season. I think Vicki and Tamra have a special bond because of their history, but I really couldn’t foresee them ganging up and trying to oust Heather. Heather’s different from them, but I can tell they all get along and genuinely like and respect each other despite a few quirks and hiccups. I think Shannon will fit in well with those three… not so sure about the new housewife we haven’t met yet though.
Remember last season Vicki and Tamra ditched Heather and took off for a bar called Andale’s? It looked like they just left her sitting in a van with angry, whiny, entitled Gretchen while they ‘whooped it up.’
Their rude behavior during the beautiful dinner Heather had planned, and then her getting ditched should have been a big red flag to Heather.
Vicki is such an obnoxious control-freak. I can’t stand the way she ‘talks’ to her daughter (who is far more adult than Vicki.), Brooks is playing Vicki and she’s too desperate to care.
Well, my favorite blog is Reality Tea, and THEY say that Vicki has a new lawyer boyfriend! (See bloggers read blogs too! If they get five minutes to do it) That said. Y’all are verboten from mentioning other blogs, because I HATE most of the non Atlanta ones. 🙂
Oh and while I am mentioning other blogs, yesterday while I was out in THE WORLD some Twitter person was freaking out because fellow ATL blogger @Atlien from Straight from the A was reporting that Porsha was NOT fired and everyone is coming back. Just a reminder, we all have our own sources.This person seemed to want me to argue with ATLien. That is not going to happen. She has really great sources. She could well be right, but I am going to rely on my sources and she is going to rely on hers. I did send out a question and about Porsha returning and got no reply so far. Stay tuned. I will say sending out emails like “Are you sure? Because so and so says…does not endear me to my sources.”

I also saw that story about Viki’s new lawyer bf and that Brooks had been kicked to the curb. If the lawyer is a good guy, I hope that’s true. Viki has her issues, but I think she deserves happiness.
Tamara… I really, REALLY hope those sources were wrong about Porsha returning next season. I do enjoy RHOA i.e., The Kenya Show, but I may have to make some adjustments to my DVR if they choose to bring back that bird. Idk if I can deal with that face, voice, or the stupidity that sqwaks from its beak for another season.
Tamra IS below Heather, and 90% of grown women. She’s tacky, crude and ridiculously childish. Tamra should not just ‘be herself’ – ‘herself’ sucks. None of the OC idiots ‘gets’ each other.
I am tired of watching Vicki and Tamra get drunk. It bores me. I do enjoy Heather because she is interesting and has the life style that I wanted to see.
The main thing wrong with the show is that we have to continue on the Brooks story. I don’t give a damn if Vicki dates him, marries him or gives him every dime she has. That is not entertainment. It depresses me.
I fast forward to all the Brooks stories….
and I like Heather, especially for “taking the train”
Heather DuBrow has some serious mental issues. It is documented on camera for heaven’s sake!! I’m surprised her Dr. Husband hasn’t referred her to someone for her obvious Bipolar behavior. It’s sad!
Seriously? Your random psychiatric diagnosis is ridiculous and ignorant.
