Let’s be honest. Bravo does this to us every season. We are done. We are so done. But there are some things left unresolved. Surely, the will resolve them. We have hope. Yet resolution never comes. So here we go again. All we really care about seeing at this point is footage of the Marry, Shag Kill game at Heather’s Valentine’s Day party. We would be thrilled to just see one hour of that party completely unedited.
But that will never happen. We’re going to see Tamra insults that landed on the cutting room floor because there were so many. Probably more instances where Vicki and Tamra were uncouth in Bali. Likely, a few pretentious thoughts of Heathers. If we are lucky perhaps a loving scene between Christian and Lizzie. But we will not be satisfied at the end of an hour. 70% will be recycled crap we have covered a thousand times. But there is always that shred of naïve hope that production will surprise us this one time…
We start with Vicki and Shannon paddling their little plastic boat over to some poor local person’s boat that is anchored in the bay. Since they are sure the boat is “abandoned” they plan to board and loot. Because that is the sort of thing one does when visiting a foreign county. You board boats that don’t belong to you because you are American and the question, “What is the worst thing that can happen?” doesn’t occur to you. Oh, just after I typed that Vicki said it. But still, the answer was wrong.
You know what would be fun? A montage of Vicki screaming. God production hates us. But in actuality, they show us a painting party. Heather brings Tamra a man to paint her house. A hot man. What’s the problem? This is way better than them having to paint. The ladies were so distracted by the painting their make your own pizza’s burned.
We have a scene with Shannon and her feng shui expert to redo her house. Vikki has a grandbaby. Vikki liked Shannon at first but not Lizzie. Haven’t we already done this? Where is the secret in any of this. I can’t. Replaying footage for the season we have already seen is not a secret revealed you fucking shitpickles.
They did show a scene where Vicki bought Shannon some light up Mickey Mouse years, I think in Bali and compared it to her time in Mexico with Tamra the year before. Tamra admits she feels like Shannon replaced her when Andy asked her. Are you trying to tell us something, Andrew?
I keep trying to fast forward but there is not place to go. Oh Yay. A montage of screaming babies. Including Terry calling Coco a bitch. We talk about Vicki’s 28 year old son who treats he so rudely. And because we have not seen enough of the robot baby. Really? I am so ready to turn this off and go watch Utopia on Demand.
Oh look. It’s some unseen footage of a family dinner at Lizzie’s it’s cute and sweet and introduces the all to us. This should have been in one of the first three shows, not now when she will likely not want to film ever again. Oh crap. I just remembered it’s trash day tomorrow. BRB. Did I miss anything? I didn’t think so. I took a large shipping box to the curb. Came back and rolled the trash out. Check my stock prices for the day. Discovered I had a nice jump in price. Went to a message board to report on that. Made a post. And still we are at commercial. This is why when we get international shows on Bravo they are at least 8 minutes longer than an hour because this show is 40% ads.
Did you know that Tamra said that Brooks was not a good guy this season? You did? You mean this is not a secret? Vicki loves being with Brooks. Her experiences with him have been nothing but good. Oh look, here is Brooks. Andy brings up Brooks loves Vicki’s vagina. A viewer asks if she is seeing other people. Vicki says she is dating other people but she has not seen anyone who she likes as much as Brooks. Brooks and Vicki have spent the last year in both individual and couples therapy. We see a scene with them at couples therapy. Brooks says that when Ryan was deployed he told Vicki not to expose his wife or kid to Brooks. So when he came back, Brooks apologized about his drunken phone comments. Brianna replied that he has 7 months to do that and she was still angry. Brooks says he was respecting Ryan’s wishes. Brooks has on a fabulous suit. It sounds like Brooks and Vicki want to get married. The therapist is not helpful.
Vicki’s house is on the market and she already has another place she wants to buy. She says if Brooks moves in he will pay rent. Brooks seems to think he will get a percentage of the house. That is ridiculous. He will be a tenant.
Andy asked what has going through divorce/marriage on national TV taught them about themselves. Heather says that she needs to lighten up. They show Terry and Heather on an anniversary dinner of their first date. Heather gives Terry a photo album of their time together. Terry cries like the housewife he is. It’s pictures of their old house.
Then one more meal in Bali where the woman mock exotic food. Like duck. Because no one eats duck in the US. Good Lord. Thank god this shit show is over. I’m going to watch Utopia now.
I so agree. There were no surprises. Just more time for Bravo to stuff with commercials that last way too long. Does Bravo think we don’t notice?
Useless show and I am officilly sick of it.
How is Utopia? I haven’t watched it yet. It conflicts with BB16. If Frankie doesn’t get evicted soon, I may switch.
I don’t know if I want to waste my time with this RHOOC show. I’m glad I watched Master Chef, instead. I know Leslie is your favorite, he was mine, too, until tonight. Now, I hope he falls…HARD.
I was sad to see Christian go
Spoiler
OMG. You touched on it Tamara but how about Brooks seeming to think he would be investing in Vickie’s house if he paid rent. Run Vickie run. As far as you can from that dirtbag. If she’s that stupid and stays with Brooks, I have no resoect for her. Tamra is green with jealously/envy for Lizzie. That’s why she hates her.
you hit the nail on the head regarding vickie and brooks. he is so super shady and for whatever reason she loves him. her choice qand if he takes her for a ride so be it, she is an adult. and tamra is very jealous of lizzie and her marriage, tamra is married to a gay man and lizzie’s husband is hot hot hot
Maybe Joey Gorga can advise Brooksie on how to structure that lease-purchase paperwork?
Brooks has shown himself over and over again to be a total creep. That rent thing was a hoot. He thought he was going to get some equity from his rent payments? Oh, Vicki…you deserve what you get with Brooks and it will be sad to watch. Brianna and her children will never visit you and good luck with the rental laws in California getting that slimy Brooks out of your home once you let him in. Go buy yourself a case of Hallmark cards and a vibrator.
I don’t know what the laws are in California regarding Common Law couples. I live in Canada and in case of a split, everything is 50/50 unless there’s a signed agreement otherwise. I think Vicki’s smart enough to protect herself, but the fact that Brooks seems to think he’s going to get in on this is a bit worrying.
He also said that he and Vicky had already discussed that part, and I believe it. It may have even been Vicky’s idea knowing her. My sister did that with her ex. when she bought her house. They both wanted to live together, but weren’t ready to co-own a house, and neither wanted to just throw away money on rent. When he moved out she gave him some money as they had agreed beforehand if things didn’t end up working out.
Brooks is nearer the end of the third quarter in life. If he pays more than nominal rent he should get some equity credit. He has children as well. I don’t think this is the deal breaker between he and Vicki- I think they are being grown-ups. It also means if she takes a bath on the house -he has to pay up.
Um, if he wants to build up equity, he can do that in a house that “he can afford.” Ya’ll know my theory about buying houses. You should be able to actually buy them just like everything else.
Brooks can’t qualify for the mortgage Vicki can. He gets no equity. I have a soft spot for Brooks, but if he wants to live in her house, He will need to pull some sort of weight. Utilities, groceries, something. And equity in her home is certainly not on the table.

OMG…shitpickles….I laughed so hard my husband had to come downstairs to make sure I was okay. I’m adding that to my vocabulary – you know what they say “use it 3 times and it’s yours!” I should be able to do that by lunch tomorrow.
I agree, I was just having dinner with a friend talking about how Andy is asleep at the switch this season. I’ve never seen him avoid hitting the juicy topics/events after every season, I don’t know why he’s started now. BTW I realize Andy is the personification of Bravo so I know these things are not handled 100% the way he personally thinks they should, but I can’t imagine what Bravo is thinking. It’s dissatisfying for the viewers to see people get away with their bad behavior without being called out. I also agree it’s insulting to our intelligence when they keep dangling the yummy worm in front of us promising “new” content…then we take a bite and end up with a bad taste/hook in our mouths once again. Did I miss it, or did they never call Heather out on telling the mechanical bull operator to put it on high, resulting in Tamra’s injury…? I just don’t get it. I SO hope the more recent rumors are that Tamra was fired…any insight?
I don’t have a source on RHOOC contracts (yet 🙂 ) but it is the time that pickup letters go out. It is possible someone does have a source and knows she didn’t get one. Tamra has denied “being fired” on twitter. However as I explained the ladies have a season to season contract (despite what Nene would have you think that she was picked up for seven seasons on the first season. LOLOLOL that’s horseshit.) they are either sent a letter offering to pick them up for the next season, or they are thanked for their time. Technically, no one who works out the season is “fired.”
So the short answer is, it’s possible, but I don’t know. It’s probably just wishful thinking.
I totally forgot this was on tonight. Once upon a time, I never would have forgotten a Housewife episode was on, much less miss one. I remember being so addicted to Housewives that I worried how I was going to wean myself off them without severe withdrawal, but Bravo is doing it all for me by continually showing the same old regurgitated puke. Even a hardened addict as myself can’t tolerate puke. So, thanks Bravo for helping me go cold turkey and not feeling a thing.
The secrets revealed are always the worst shows. They just pick up what was on the cutting room floor and taped it with scotch tape and let it roll.
On another note, Tamra really is the queen of projection. Tamra’s twitter feed is filled with stupid links and retweets about Lizzie while Lizzie’s twitter feed is filled with her family. Um, who is obsessed with who? lol
When is Bravo going to get it…After a few years of ANY show, everyone is tired of the same story and especially the same people..Why the hell Bravo insists that we want to see another season of the same crap or the same crappy ass people like Phaedra who does not want to talk about anything interesting, but is still on the show. Bravo has a case of the big head and thinks that they are going to keep their viewers when other great shows run for five years and call it quits. Bravo is going to lose so many viewers just because none of the reality stars are that interested or have enough going on in their lives to hold the public’s interest that long. Bravo realitiy stars do not have that kind of fan base. And as for WWHL, I am not the only person that is sick of Andy and his dumb games and ‘me, me, me’attitude on his show. The viewers always have better questions and Andy does not even have the cleverness to ask for elaboration when a viewer question is good. I am done with RHOOC with this boring cast this season and RHOA this season will be my last unless they can step it up with the new cast. Otherwise, the franchises are going down fast. I know a handful people now who have found something else to watch already. If they think viewers are going to keep watching the same crap every season. and caring about Brooks and Vicki or Tamra and her husbgay then they have got to be kidding theirselve. I barely watch RHOOC this season and will not be looking for it next season. News for Bravo: When RHOA got so bad and ghetto, it is hard to find a person that would admit to watching it, even if they do. I see a Basketball wives type funeral in the franchise real soon if they do not regroup and get some fresh blood, people, and producers soon. Too much competition out here and viewers arent loyal like they use to be.
Simone, you are 100% on point about WWHL.. Andy ‘phones it in’ on the daily and the show has become nearly unwatchable. Do you remember when Kim called in to confront NeNe years ago? That was TV gold! I just feel as though everything is scripted within an inch of its life that something that fun to watch would never happen now and if it did Andy wouldn’t realize its potential and he’s squash it with his ‘lets get a close-up of me’ face || attitude.
Ghetto ? Atlanta housewives is more country bama. But I do agree on one thing Phaedra, they need to get rid of her country ass and Kandi.They need to fire their asses. Boring. I am sick of all the sex talk.
Lame final episode. Waste of time! But what I found most disturbing was that ohot album filled with real estate photod and a couple pictures of terry and heather. Wouldnt it have been better to show family pics? Wtange if you ask me.
Shame on me I actually first thought Heather was giving a book of sexy photos of herself.
Oh silly rabbit. It’s not about relationships. It’s about things. Things that confirmed their rightful status in Orange County!

I thought it was going to be a lovely album of when they first met, their growing family over the years, etc. I just couldn’t even believe it. They are definitely made for each other.
If BRAVO was obliged to TRUTHFULLY entitle it’s ‘Secrets’ show content, it might be entitled “RHOOC Season _’s B-Reel Show”, or feature a clip of Vickie doing her adolescent snoring act and more truthfully entitle it “RHOOC Season _’s Snoozefest Reel”, OR “An Hour of Wasted Time of RHOOC’s Season _(#) That You Will Never Recover”, since there was nothing secretive contained in last night’s ‘Secrets’ reel.
I was so hoping this show was going to make up for the lackluster reunions. Sooo disappointing.
Someone overlooked Tamra’s “best by date.” She expired a long time ago. She’s the same year after year: be nice and get dirt from everybody so you can use it against them when they disagree with you.
Tamra’s “tell” for lying? Yelling and outtalking them so no one can get a word in. Remember, Tamra did a lot of yelling this season?
This should be renamed…
Bunch of Bullshit, by Bravo.
I had no idea Andy was so short until I saw this picture. He is like shockingly short.
I hate Andy with his punk ass.
“Did you know that Tamra said that Brooks was not a good guy this season? You did? You mean this is not a secret?”
That was so perfectly mixed in there. I almost spit my fruit smoothie out!
Tamara, serious question. (I know, I know.) Why don’t we have the fuck, marry, kill game on tape? Do you think Bravo just really fucked that up and totally missed it or did something else happen? So confused.
I have no idea! I am hoping I will have sources in the OC as good as my Atlanta/Miami/NJ/NY ones… but I’m not tight with west coast production, yet…

The only thing I feel when I scroll through this is “Aww. Lydia!! I miss Lydia!!”

The Brooks thing is kind of pathetic. Call me misogynistic or whatever, but as a man, I’d feel the need to provide. Even if my partner was more solvent than me, I’d at least say, “if you want to live with me, we get a place that we can both afford, and I will pay 50% of the deposit and 50% of the mortgage.” There’s something emasculating about being your other half’s ‘tenant.’
Did any1 pick up when Tamra was doing her impression of a crazy lady she screamed @ Lizzie & said ” u want 2 bring me down” these r Tamras words that she confabulated ” the the dubrows want to bring the beadors down”. There u hav it but nt a word was said.
I missed the show but on the Brooks paying rent and it going twords owning the house thats kinda dumb unless he was paying alot which I doubt oe coming up with a partial down payment. If hes getting a real deal which I imagine he is then thats just more shady buisness. Ryan and Brianna didnt pay rent and get partial ownership. No one does that unless the person is someone on equal footing otherwise its someone paying twords the cost of living there and the increase in utilities and such and not being a freeloader. Or a couple whos going to be married. If Vickie were to marry him I imagine she would want to keep her assets seperate that she hadprior. This house I would think would be purchased from the proceeds from the sale of the old one. If I were Vickie I would charge Brooks a very reasonable rent and view as a trial period but dont add him on the house.
I have a feeling Vic is living in a dream world right now that is common when long term marriages end. She thinks cuz shes got the hots for this guy and is putting in all the effort that she didnt for her marriage and it feels so good nothing could go wrong. Well yeah it can because just cuz you’ve got good sexual chemistry doesn’t mean all is well or that its a good guy for you or that it will last either. And if Brooks is playing her it could be all smoke and mirrors until the jig is up. Brooks is a known bull shitter and womanizer and has all the tricks down. Vic should tread carefully until theyve lived together for quite awhile to see if he keeps up the act and see if she feels the same or if it isnt being in love with the idea of perfect love rather than real love.
Thankfully, Vicki, just like all of the rest of us, gets to make her own choices of who she fucks to keep her love tank full.
I don’t think she cares what anyone else thinks.

Vicki was pretty much saying she’s keeping her options open. She may let Brooks live with her, but she is not going to let him get any of her money. Vicki intends to control the relationship and the money.
For sure its Vick’s choice. If she were my friend I would only listen and be supportive. I only state my opinion because its kinda fun to do here about the show. In real life im very reticent about saying anything about anyone’s relationships. The most ill usually do is if someone is really upset and asking me what I think I try to think of my most helpful advice or turn it back on them to think for themselves what it is that they want.
I’d say also to a certain extent one shouldn’t care too much about what others think of your telationship as you’re the one whos opinion most matters. But sometimes if a ton of feedback is negative from people you love and trust you might just want to be sure your eyes are wide open to the truth . I think the only opinion that really matters to Vickie is B rianna. So far thats been a no go. Brianna has been really held her ground.
I thought Heather said SHE owned the first lot before their home was built… Her contribution, as she had stated. Did she get caught in a lie when showing that anniversary gift to Terry?
