For the second week in a row I have a headache after recapping Shah of Sunset. Also, WWHL is on a half an hour early tonight so I will be unable to recap that until tomorrow due to DVR scheduling conflicts.
Heather
So it’s time for a party and Heather is going to be the first this season. Oh dear God. She has a sparkling wine brand now.
This duo goes to a juice bar and places stupid orders. I hate people who have to micromanage food and drink orders. Everyone is coming to Heather’s party except Vicki who has business in Florida. Lizzy will be there and Tamra is very emotional for some reason. Crying for no reason.
Shannon
I am not going to recap this couples therapy shit. It’s ridiculous.
Meghan
The trophy wife goes shopping with the athlete to add some things that she likes to add to the house the last wife decorated. Jim continues to be an asshole and doesn’t want to buy anything Meghan wants but is interested in buying something for the kid’s room. They have only been married for four months. Both of these people are just horrid creatures.
Later these two get together for a Horrid Creature summit with Heather and Terry. Bleck. Apparently, they are going to the party at Vicki’s together.
Tamra
Vicki calls from Mexico because she always thinks of her when she is there. She wants to make up with Tamra. So she is throwing a Mexican themed party.
Vicki’s Party
Vicky has gone all out for this party. Live music, outdoor cooking, beautiful flowers and decorations all in her beautiful back yard. Lizzie is there and about to encounter Tamra for the first time. Vicki has never looked prettier than she does this season. Whatever she’s done looks great.
We get to see the housewife, Katie, that Meghan replaced after her husband had to leave to take care of some personal issues. I’m already liking her better than Meghan. Katie is Heather’s next door neighbor at the GINORMOUS house she is building. Shannon is avoiding Tamra. Jeanna is there! Jeanna has lost some weight and looks good.
Everyone is awkward and uncomfortable at the party. Especially David and Shannon who are trying to put on a good face while everyone keeps talking about what a cute couple they are.
Meghan flirted with David at the Hoe Down last year so Shannon is less than enamored.
Brooks offers up a quick prayer for before dinner. That raised some eyebrows. Tamra brings up anal sex as a dinner topic. Meghan of course is thrilled. Shannon seems mentally exhausted. Just in the nick of time Vicki brings out a piñata. Meghan smashes the hell out of it. Shannon notices that Vicki and Tamra are holding hands. WTF? Who does that? Shannon is not thrilled with that. Later Vicki and Tamra try to out do each other on who had the worst circumstances last season. Vicki tells Tamra that she needs to shut her mouth when it comes to badmouthing Brooks.
Next Week: It’s Heathers Napa party. David and Shannon have an argument at the party. Meghan called Shannon on her private cell phone to ask her for a charity donation. Shannon is pissed someone is giving out her number.
I feel like Shannon and David are doomed. Shannon is miserable. Even her kids are miserable. No fun watching that mess.
The new girl and her dad, uh, husband seem completely mismatched. He has already checked out and it’s been 4 months. Hopeless.
Tamra seems to be picking up steam. I think she us menopausal. Mood swings galore.
Vicki looks great. I hope she and Brooks make it work. Loved the dinner party food. Made me hungry.
Heather. Ugh.
Shannon and David are doomed. I wish they could see it.
I guffawed at Tamra saying that the gym is Eddies baby and he’s obsessed with it and she doesn’t understand that. Because, of course Mother of the Year Tamra can’t relate to anyone caring about their baby.
I’m REALLY uncomfortable watching Shannon and David. The scene with kids should not have been filmed, let alone aired.
That was weird right? I wanted to look down, look at the wall, anywhere else.. Just so strange. I’m confused at her thought process in showing that. SO incredibly private.
Funny she says that because she made a point last year to say she owned 51 % so why is it his. Shouldn’t it be more hers than his. David and Shannon are so out of place here, they don’t want anyone to know yet it is written all over their face. Especially when David is looking any where but where there are women, in case Shannon misinterprets his glances. That talk with the kids was so wrong, in my opinion. Don’t do that to them, sets them up for failure, so sad.
The conversation with thw kids was very awkward to watch. So mom & dad go to a weekend counseling deal and then the kids are put on the spot to say they forgive him? Weird. Both Shannon and David look so unhappy. I sadly do not think they will make it. David looks totally checked out. Shannon is trying to force something he doesn’t want any more. I think he loves her but it does not appear he wants to be in this marriage anymore.
Ewww my parents were CONSTANTLY back and forth about getting a divorce, and involved me WAY too much in their issues, so we had many talks like that and I really felt the awkwardness of that big formal apology. It’s weird enough to have a big contrived dramatic scene with your parents as it is, bringing in cameras makes it extra cringeworthy. I really like Shannon and am trying to see it from her side where she saw some value for others in being transparent about the process, but I hope they leave us out of the marital therapy stuff soon. That’s what Couples Therapy and Marriage Boot Camp are for!
That was baffling to me. I can almost understand why Shannon might want to slut-shame her husband on national TV, but why would she involve her children like that? Any sympathy I had for her went out the window with that scene.
Great episode and loving the dynamics but honestly katie was on my screen on the way to the party and i already wanna see more of her, she has way more personality than Meghan to be honest.
I didn’t know she was who she was until I read here this morning, but I thought when I watched last night how cute and pretty and nice she was. I wanted to see more, too! Too bad..
Good for you to skipping the Shannon’s therapy part. People call her issues “real”, I just find it ridiculous and unbearable. Shannon loves to blame everything but herself.
Umm wtf are you talking about? She did blame herself —
Maybe only since this season. Last year she always acted pissy towards David, and the crying ugh. That’s the fuck I’m talking about.
Yea she admitted that she was always nagging and bitching :/ but my mom was like that too! Lol
From what has been shown of Shannon on tv, she seems to be an exhausting woman to tolerate. She seems to drain every bit of emotional peace, or God forbid fun from the room. She is making Vicki look breezy by comparison; didn’t think anyone could do that.
She’s holding on with every fingernail dug in, but she might be a totally different person if she lets go and works on herself, starts fresh. They might even could stay together.
Shannon’s fake smile is annoying and terrifying at the same time. I keep thinking that she’s going to go postal on her family at any moment. David seems miserable and wimpy. VIcki looks good and so did Jeanna. Tamra…creepy as always and Heather…horrid…fake….horrid…fake. Brooks seems happy with Vicki so I wish them the best. The rest…useless and not entertaining. I don’t like watching bad marriages and fake friendships and this show is full of them. Heather’s wide eyed stare has gotten to me and I can’t tolerate her anymore. The scene at the juice bar was totally ridiculous and totally California. All I keep thinking of is horrid and fake!!
The therapist! UGH, she makes Dr Jeff look like a Superstar.
Talking to your dead spouse doesn’t save a marriage in my opinion. The therapist was the usual made for TV type. What an exercise in futility. The whole episode was surreal and uncomfortable.
I fast forward through all the therapy sessions and basically through those family scenes with Shannon and David. I wonder if it’s bullshit or real?
I don’t think it’s interesting at all.
Vicki looks really refreshed. And I don’t know if Brooks is a good guy or a bad guy, but they seem to really care about and love each other. So good for them.
Anyone else notice Eddie do the throat clear/”BULLSHIT” when Tamra was on the phone with Vicki discussing Brook’s cancer? That was kind of a lame move. Eddie rubs me wrong.
if you are female that could be why… he seems very socially awkward.
I dunno about any one else but I don’t want to see any one else’s marital problems and addiction played out on TV-I watch Reality Tv to escape but it’s increasingly difficult to get that from this show. I’m already in AA with my own annoying husband to deal with.
Vickie is looking good because her face has finally settled from all that plastic surgery a few years ago. She’s also getting regular blow-outs which make a big difference on High Def Tv.
Ugh. I know people around here like Shannon and I have tried to give her a chance. She is just so negative and I don’t think she has ever been shown when she was actually really happy. I know she’s been thru some stuff with David, but suck it up! You’re at a party! Don’t be such a bitch all the time! She just really rubs me the wrong way, I guess.
I don’t like her either – you are not alone! She is a miserable sea hag
I want to like her but she is a really unhappy person. The scene where they were getting ready and she asked for a kiss made me sad. They both look so unhappy.
Hand raised….
I feel the same way about Shannon she never looks happy she needs to lighten up a bit, when her and her husband went to Mexico all she did was complain instead of having a good time with her husband. Lighten up woman or you and your husband are not going to make it he will get tired of your constant bitch face and complaining
I’m with you. I didn’t like Shannon last year and, so far, I don’t like her this year.
It’s really hard to like Shannon… I know david cheated, but it seemed he was afraid to look at anyone else because it might set Shannon off. Her fake smile wasn’t really selling it anyways. A blind man could see they are miserable.
Thanks to the editors for the flashback reminding me of the fount of grace and charm that is Tamra Judge. Screaming, “Do you do anal?” across the dinner table in a nice restaurant. Can’t get better than that. (Ugh. Just ugh.)
Jeanna Keough looked great! I hope to see much more of her this season.
I’m so disappointed that Lizzie Rovsek isn’t holding an orange this season. I’d much rather see her (and her delicious husband) than that vile Meghan – I wish they’d give Meghan’s orange to Lizzie.
(I also can’t stand when people have to micromanage food/drink orders. Or this – I have a friend who is physically unable to just order something off a menu. Everything has to be changed/substituted. It doesn’t matter if it’s a fine restaurant or a fast-food drive-thru, it’s always, “Could I get the ____? But instead of the ____, could I get ____?” Or just order something that’s not even on the menu. No, there are no food allergy/dietary restrictions. I think it’s a psychiatric issue, like she has to feel like everything is special for her or something. I don’t really know, but it drives me *Nucking Futs*!)
@ericzku – I had a friend who used to embarrass the crap out of me in a restaurant. I would just look at the server and roll my eyes when he was ordering because he was a giant pain in the ass.
I must admit when I get a cheeseburger at Wendy’s I ask for a single cheese with bacon and no lettuce. Why no lettuce? If I didn’t ask for no lettuce they would just throw bacon on a single cheese that has been sitting around. It makes me feel like a genius. Sad, I know.
I had a friend who used to order “samples” of the soup, sauce, spread etc. Poor server had to run back several times and forth and not ONCE did she ever order a sample she was given. She’s not my friend anymore.
a person like that is way to much effort
I had a friend who would aiways send everything back even after requesting substitutions. She would also order a ton of lemon wedges and ice water and proceeded to make her own lemonade. Ugh. I hated eating with her. She was aldo the type that would help herself to what ever was on her fellow diners’ plates.
I must confess to requesting 2 lemon wedges in lieu of salad dressing when ordering a salad. It is my one substitution. Never thought it was obnoxious, though.
That’s not obnoxious. Ordering a dish of lemon wedges and ice water to make your own lemonade with artificial sweeteners instead of paying for a beverage is obnoxious, especially when you substitute everything in your entree and then send it back.
It’s not. Poor reading skills are, lemon wedges are not.

I still love Shannon, but she is too raw and wounded for reality television. She needs individual therapy. I think she’s sad, which makes her negative and she’s been that way for years. Seeing her try so hard to act happy and “fun” is painful to watch. I’m rooting for her because she’s a kind, decent person. I thought the scene with the kids was authentic and moving. Affairs do harm the entire family and I feel for the daughter who saw the messages on her dad’s phone.
You’re right..Vicki looks great…the work she has had done is excellent. Love it!
One sidebar on Shannon, she can forgive David’s affair but Tamar’s lie is unforgivable?? Give me a break. Misplaced anger or what?
She has no commitment to Tamra. There is no need for her to befriend Tamra again. Unlike Vicki, I think Shannon learned her lesson the first time.

Yes to this. Why is Vicki being friends with Tamra again? It makes no sense. Vicki’s one of my preferred OC Wives. Why is she being a flip flopper?
Tamra continued to betray Shannon by insulting her and disclosing private things behind her back even after she begged for forgiveness after being caught once. Shannon has no reason to think things will change and doesn’t have enough positive history with her to balance out the betrayals.
Reply to Tamara, excellent point!
@AngieB – I was wondering why David didn’t take his phone with him when he moved out. If he had, their daughter wouldn’t have seen the messages. Why was she snooping on his phone anyway?
I don’t believe that story. Of course he took his phone with him when he moved out. Somehow the girls found out (my guess is at least the older one figured it out when her dad moved out and her mom cried all the time).
My understanding is the kid looked through his phone when he was living there texting his side piece all the time.

The phone part is suspicious, especially since Shannon forbids her children from using cell phones. And I really doubt someone who is having an affair is going to leave their unlocked phone out in the open full of text messages for anyone to see.
They do.
I feel so badly for the Beador children. It’s hard enough to watch Shannon & David work through a very personal issue but knowing that all their children know is even worse. I now understand more why Shannon is so uptight and what they are working through but the decision by both parents to allow their children to be filmed while their Dad apologizes to each of them was unnecessary. On on hand, I give them credit for being so open, on the other I think if I was Shannon & David, I’d have not returned to filming. Their marriage is doomed.
Vickie does look the best she has in years, could be Brooks or could be the shorter hair lifting her face. She really IS happy this year and whether we like Brooks or not i think he is the reason, i do think he is not trust worthy but her life. Shannon is very depressing, even when she tries to be happy she isn’t. The therapy she and David are doing is painful and I am not sure they will make it. I don’t think the kids should have known about the affair, their choice though. David is the one who stepped out, but I do wander if she drove him to it, she makes me sad. Tamra is a tacky slut and Eddie is just creepy, he keeps getting skeeier and skeevier. Megan annoys me, to no end. Jeanna wa always one of my favorites, i wish she were on again, and Lizzie, love Lizzie.
@therealdeb – Shannon treated David like crap all last season with her constant bitching and nagging about petty things like him eating potato chips before dinner. It’s no wonder he strayed Who wants to come home and listen to that every night?.
I wonder if he had already cheated and that was why she was so angry and miserable all the time or if he cheated because she was angry and miserable all the time.
Shannon is wrapped tight but I’m really thinking his affair caused her to be the Mrs. Super Bitchy we saw last season.
To me, David looks checked out. I too would rather see Lizzy back holding an orange but she didn’t want to.
I don’t mind asking for modifications once in a while. But come on, “light on the apples” in a juice bar? Really? I’ve never see Heather just order something. I will sometimes as if I an sub onion rings or sweet potato fries or a baked potato in place of fries. Or no mushrooms. Or salad dressing on the side. But if you are reconstructing every dish you order…
I am someone that will send food back with zero qualms. I don’t eat out much and when I do, it better be worth what I am paying. Even if my displeasure is “I just don’t like this.” I’ll send it back. BUT for the most part, I am easy to please. I’ve even eaten the wrong order before because it was there and looked like a good option. â:)

I never go to restaurants anymore because of my living situation with my husband but I never had the nerve to send anything back or substitute anything. I usually ordered what I wanted and ate it. What Heather does is her way of broadcasting that she is superior. She acts that way in every aspect of her existence. From food to the homes she lives in…she is always better and always climbing…never satisfied and never content. She’s a handful and I suspect that Terry works so much to stay away from her as much as possible,
This women are incorrigible. Especially when it comes to their food phobias and weird diets/cleanses. I see that Shannon is not in the minority with this trait.
I’m a Californian, born and raised. And I know we have a reputation for eating funny stuff, like wheat grass and odd preparations for smoothies and stuff. I feel we take it too far. There are too many people on this planet dying of hunger. It’s sinful.
That being said, don’t fuck around with the people who handle your food. I’m always nice to wait staff because their job is difficult. Can you imagine dealing with someone who orders everything on the side? Or a table with a big family and lots of little children. Some people get weird when they’re being waited on in a restaurant. Like a funky power trip. Leave a good tip, those folks work hard.
There is a certain subset of special snowflakes who deliberately order this way to ensure that the food is freshly prepared, as opposed to pre-prepared. This is, of course, bullshit, especially in the restaurants/juice bars/Fatburgers the HWs visit.
Well it’s happened, I officially don’t give a shit about a RH seasons! Olé!
Just seeing the replay of the dinner party last year where Heather and her husband are so full of shit regarding their grievances with Shannon and David.
makes me hate Heather and her husband.
I just saw it too- my dvd is set to record all episodes and I watched- I forgot how condescending Terry and Heather acted towards the Beadors. The kicker was when Terry proclaimed that Davids comments to Heather on the mechanical bull at the Hoedown caused him months of sleepless nights…..um…he had only heard of the comments from someone else only days before.
Funny how Eddie’s comments, very similar, were OK , he probably knew Eddie had no interest though…….
I love Shannon still. She is so funny and awkward it’s refreshing from all the housewives that take themselves too seriously and walk around like they have the perfect lives/relationships *cough* heather *cough* *cough* Megan! Brooks does look sick — like how daisy looked sick — functioning but still like hallow.
LOLOL @ Horrid Creature Summit.
UF — love your new aviator!
Yeah even though I love Shannon, she is the kind of stick in the mud, sour puss antagonistic ,spendaholic wife that is the stuff of nightmares for most men. She needed to lighten up a long long time ago. Marriage does not need to be all work and no play. Respect and cherish your spouse. Dont talk down to or treat with disdain. Have alot of good sex. Shannon has kept herself lovely, and cooks, but its nothing if you don’t do all the other things.
I know Vicki can be a screeching lunatic at times, but I still love her. She looks GREAT and I’m glad that she’s living her life with Brooks as she sees fit. By the way, I will put on my big girl panties and admit I like Brooks. I even liked him when Brianna was accusing him of telling her husband Ryan (the biggest jerk ever) to beat her. Fact is, Ryan was talking with a drunk Brooks while recording him and setting him up for a fall. Nice. The way I heard it, Brooks was being more tongue in cheek than anything, but whatever.
I will also admit, I was rather moved when David was apologizing to his girls. They were so sweet and loving of their father, and forgiving, it gave me a little lump in my throat. They are some great kids and favor each other so much.
Gingersnap-
I totally agree about Vicki and Brooks. Vicki was and has the ability to be a lunatic when pushed (who doesn’t, though). She seems lighter and happier now. She is much more likable then when she was with Don, though. I thought Don was the shit. But I’m glad she is happy with Brooks. And I don’t get the hate, either. A lot of it was probably BS.
And yes, Brianna’s husband Ryan wins douche bag Housewive’s relation ever.
He is a dick. I give it ten years tops.
Gingersnap, although I totally think Shannon and David should NOT have filmed him apologizing to the girls I did think it was very moving that they forgave him. It is sad that they had to be that involved in what happened. At least David and Shannon did address them and not hide from them like the Guidices did with their kids. Hopefully this family especially Shannon can forgive and move past this and have a stronger family bond. We shall see.
Kids have no place in Adult marital problems. NONE.

hannahkingrose,
I agree with you. The scenes with the kids was painful. I also wonder if they really went through a cellphone, and did not hear Shannon and David screaming about it. Seems like some face-saving.
Also.. sorry, I am out of the loop…. Why did Meghan take over Katie’s spot on the show? (please don’t send me to the window licking section – my mother has been sick, and I have not been following!!!).
That scene should never have been filmed. It’s bad enough that the girls know, but now they are filming dad’s apology? So wrong. It’s clear to me that Shannon could not have done this season without the affair being in the open because she’s clearly so hurt. I understand that, but the right thing to do as a parent is to step away from the show. Those poor girls.
And…why did everyone at the couples therapy have on nametags? There were two couples there and the therapists. Is it that hard to remember four names?
Agree with TT the kids don’t need to know everything that is going on with your marriage, tell them your working things out but to put them right in the mix makes them feel responsible if it doesn’t work. Just wrong.
I agree with Tamara. When children get dragged into the marital problems they feel like the should choose sides/somehow it’s their fault. What Shannon and David are doing is reprehensible. I think David wanted to be caught. What idiot keeps the hotel receipts and texts and talks to the girlfriend while at home? Shannon certainly is doing a great job of punishing David by involving the kids and dragging the whole mess on TV. Lady Macbeth could learn a few things from her.
My mom told me about an affair my father had when I was 14. They got back together right away. I very much wish I never knew their issues. I was too young to take on that information. It wasn’t fair for me to know. I agree wi th TT children have no place in parents issues.
I agree. Let the kids be kids, not marriage councelors. I really like Shannon. But pulling stupid shit like this with her kids makes me wonder about her. If the relationship is broken beyond repair, get a divorce and call it a day. She wants her kids to hate their father. That’s not okay. They only have one father.
TT: unless you’ve sold your soul to the Bravo devil and just want the attention. For all we know, they told their kids it was all a storyline and they are playing “characters” for TV.
Okay. You win.
I am tired of arguing with you today. You are not interested in the topics and you don’t believe Kim is in rehab and you don’t believe the Shannon topic, it’s hot as fuck and you are going into the window licking section until …. like FALL when it’s not so fucking hot.
Ciao.

I thought the girls were real touching with David too. You could tell their relationship with him, despite this crisis; is a joyous one. They just light up in his presence. I can’t really fault them for their openness and honesty with the children, that’s maybe better than covering up the elephant in the room that they see and all ready know about.
I still like Shannon. She’s kooky but also nice and warm hearted. Even Tamra said Shannon has a good heart at last year’s reunion. (Notice that Tamra went after Lizzie at the reunion, not Shannon. I think she felt guilty about her lies and betrayal) But I agree with everyone above who said watching Shannon so far this season is painful. She’s so unhappy and she’s having so much trouble faking it. 🙁 My heart hurts for her and the kids. This is very real. Infidelity can have a devastating impact on a whole family.
RE: Brooks and Vicki
I’ve never been sure of what to make of Brooks. He might be as bad as Brianna thinks. I have no clue. But Vicki really seems happy and that makes me root for them. It’s actually almost sweet watching the two of them. I can’t believe I used the word “sweet” in reference to Vicki lol
I think Vickie feels so much for Brooks, that even if it didn’t last and he was pulling a scam, a few years of happiness is worth it to her. I could certainly be wrong ,but I think Brooks being sick is the only way he would settle down and behave in a domestic capacity like he has been. Guys like Brooks (drinking alot, womanizer cheater and shady),don’t generally change their stripes unless some huge life altering thing like a health crisis comes up. Anyway, I wish them well. Vickie should give it up on trying to be friendsc with Tamara. She was just a fun drinking buddy and not a true friend. Grow up Vickie and let go of a frienemy.
David did wrong.
That said, he now seems reduced and diminished as a man and a father on his public groveling apology tour to his wife and children.
In fact, he now reminds me of one of those pink, skinny, hairless Chinese Crested dogs yapping for an emotional tid bit from his master.
Adults sometimes have adult problems. They should not involve their children.
I agree, I think this was Shannon feeling humiliated and making him grovel and pay back for it in public, feel like it will backfire. Why put the kids in the middle, assure them of your love and deal with your marriage yourselves.
Perfect comment. The kids made me feel sad and so does David who is shrinking before my eyes as a man. Shannon needs to let go….that marriage is doomed. They appear to love one another but not to be IN LOVE with each other. It’s over but Shannon can’t or won’t see that. She will always be unhappy and so will David who is probably thinking about his mistress. I’m so glad that I have not seen Brianna or Ryan yet. They both make me sick. I don’t think that Shannon’s girls should have been a part of any of the filming at all. Totally wrong and inappropriate. I felt like I was eavesdropping on something very personal.
I hope the Beadors are both mentally strong. I’d hate to hear of a breakdown (or worse), after airing everything to the public.
With that comment David made to the girls about happy marriages having boys, you could see he was ready to burst out and that was a warning shot. He’s also good looking and well maintained and liked to flirt. He knows he’s hot and likes attention. There was all the ear markings of an affair waiting to happen. He couldn’t please his everything for the sake of the children and sleeping in seperate bedrooms, wife.
I just don’t know how this marriage can continue on. I can’t see Shannon ever truly forgiving him and their children KNOW about the affair. David screwed up and I don’t see the Beador women ever forgetting. It’s always going to be there. They’ll try but they won’t. I don’t believe their children should be filmed at all around this particular story line. I did love how the one daughter said “now take us to Disneyland” – they owe them that and so much more. I love all the Bravo franchises but I don’t like seeing vulnerable small children hurt. Shannon & David should have just left after last season.
If theyre going to show this therapy stuff (I wish they wouldnt) they need to get down to the nitty gritty of it all. They touched on why David strayed I think, but come on…all this psycho babble is insufferable. If you want to “help the public”, let David reveal his true feelings about why he always has to walk on egg shells when she’s around. I know Shannon has all kinds of emotions going on inside of her right now but she is definitely wound too tight and that didn’t just happen over night. He seems so miserable and is only going through this just to make up for what he did, and not because he wants to be there. It’s really uncomfortable to watch.
David & Shannon’s girls are my favorite reality kids. They are adorable and sweet. Gag on Heather adding another product to pay for their mansion. The Dubrow’s know how to pull in the dough. I’d love to know how much of their $$$ is Quiet Riot moolah. Anyone know if Heather was around to meet Kevin Dubrow before he passed?
So that under-breath / cough / “bullshit” moment with Eddie and Tamra seems to imply that they had already heard some story that Brooks cancer was faked? Do you have any Tea TT on how that started? (I’m sorry if it was discussed here before but don’t remember reading it …)
It appears that Meghan was brought on to be oarsman with Heather, since she felt so picked on last season. But what a sleazy rumor to perpetuate.
I don’t know how they would prove or disprove about Brooks having cancer. So what’s the point? Short of giving the guy truth serum or secretly recording him bragging about the scam he’s pulling, it’s pointless to start a rumour about something only Brooks knows for certain. Boy Vickie sure looks better this season as compared to that scene they showed with her mink coat on and fighting with Tamara. Vickie looked really bad back then, her face was bloated and skin wrinkled and bumpy as hell. She definatly has done a nice makeover and clothes more flattering and sexy in a tasteful way.
The bitches follow Vicki on Twitter and Know that she was in Mississippi for some of Brooks treatments.

I enjoy Kooky Shannon but Sad Shannon makes me uncomfortable. And David looks miserable. I hate it when people stay together for the kids. In my experience, 2 happy families are better than 1 unhappy one.
Yes, I agree! I cringed when Shannon says divorce is not an option. It’s like they are in prison together and David looks like he wants to jump the fence. Couples should give it their all, but if they are both perpetually miserable, they should separate and concentrate on being friends and stable parents for the children. My minister says kids would rather their parents be together than be happy, but I disagree.
I can’t imagine him staying in that hell for much longer. I hope for her sake that he does walk. They are not compatible.
This is gonna sound cold hearted, but whatever: In some cases people stay together less for the kids and more for the money. Marriage is as much a financial contract as it is a “love” contract, maybe even more so financial. Divorce isn’t an option? Okay, maybe for Shannon. David seems like he wants to go far, far away. Dammit Shannon, are you going to fire David, or force him to resign? What’s it gonna be? Oh, and using her children as emotional human shields and as bargaining chips is just wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong!
Shannon and David make my head explode. Why are they exploiting their poor daughters??? The hotel therapy was an expensive joke. They are both joyless. They need other partners.
I can’t believe I am saying this, but I am enjoying Vicky and Brooks. Maybe because the rest of these people are so painful to watch. Vicky looks gorgeous and happy. Brooks’ attitude about his cancer is really encouraging. His lack of self pity and determination to lick it and be happy in the process might actually help people watching the show. The party was gorgeous and aside from the incredibly boring guests, looked fun. The two of them are a formidable team.
Maybe the loud music at C.U.T. has made Eddie deaf. Otherwise, he would have walked out on Tamra long time ago.
Heather–can’t do the pacifier one more minute. I am calling child services. Light on the apple juice? OMG. Sparkling wine? WTF? Why???
Why did they trade Katie for Meghan who is somewhere beyond boring. Katie is adorable and looks like she would be fun.
I am guessing no one is going to have fun this season except Vicky and Brooks.
Katie’s husband who had been in recovery for years fell off the wagon during filming. He immediately took responsibility. Informed his team, apologized to his wife and put himself in rehab.
Bravo will do that to ya.

TT,
SORRY!! This answers my question above. I wish I could delete it!
I remembered that someone had been replaced but I was hoping it was Meghan. Guess we’re stuck with her.
Amen.
Wow! That’s so sad. I hope he gets through it. Probably a good thing she is just a neighbor then.
He was smart to do that. Josh has a long history of substance issues and the last place he needs to be is on reality tv. He’s a gifted athlete. I remember watching him during a Home Run Derby a few years ago.
This Katie person and her husband sound far superior to Meghan. Drug problems, or no. Why would he have to admit to using drugs? Why is that anybody’s business? Is it because he’s a professional athlete?
Yes. Professional athletes are forbidden from using drugs. And they do random drug tests.
++1 Lisamia, totally agree!
I was glad when Vicki and Tamra made up because it is the only thing that resembles the past seasons of RHOC.
Shannon makes me want to not watch this season..it’s too much. She needs a hobby away from David and all of the doctors and healers who she pays to tell her what she wants to hear.
I hate the new girl and her husband. They add absolutely nothing to the show.
The Dubrows are becoming outrageous charcters of their former selves and it’s a real turn off.
I was so looking forward to this season *sigh*
This season is a washout so far. I don’t like the Dubrows anymore. The new girl is vile. Shannon still annoys me. I’m half expecting. David to really blow up and walk.
I love to hate Tamra and Vicki ‘n’ Brooks are the best part of the show. Was a little nonplussed when Eddie asked Brooks if he lost weight. Damn Eddie, puke your guts after chemo and see if you lose weight. Tamra has rubbed off on Eddie.
What happened to the Dubrows? They have always been snobby and condescending yet entertaining, but this season they are so over the top.
Vicki and Brooks are the saving grace of this shit show I agree, and I also love to hate Tamra. I don’t find her anywhere near as vile as someone like Brandi.
Shannon notices that Vicki and Tamra are holding hands. WTF?
I have read this line at least 10 times and I’m still confused.
At one point in the party Tamra and Vicky were off to themselves talking and hold hands like they were friends again. It seemed contrived. Shannon was not thrilled to see this because Tamra had betrayed Vicki several times in the past and Shannon last season. Vicki seems ready to be friends with Tamra again. Shannon is not happy with the situation.

So much for Shannon’s you apologize once and I forgive you BS at the reunion. She clearly hasn’t forgiven Tamra, which is fine, but don’t pretend that you have. And why care that Vicki’s holding hands with Tamra? I think Shannon needs to worry less about others and try to find some joy inside herself. After watching her last year and this year, I’m not sure if she has any joy in her life or is capable of just enjoying life. She’s one of the most tightly wound, unhappy people I’ve even seen.
I loved when Shannon walked over to Vicki and said you were holding Tamar’s hand!!! David looked relieved that her whispered growling wasn’t aimed at him.
I feel badly that Shannon & David’s daughter was the one who discovered the affair. That stinks.
Used to like Eddie he is getting really douchy lately.
For any of them that doubted Brooks has cancer, the first thing that happened to my mom when she got it is she list a ton of weight. Also chemo makes you so sick you can’t eat so sit down Eddie and Tamra. That being said brooks and Vicki do look great. They bring out the best in each other.
I like Shannon when she is with Vicki having fun. She seems like she would be a spunky girlfriend to hang with. But in her marriage she appears trapped. Her vision of what her marriage should be is not what it is any more. He is clearly not happy and only there because I think he feels she will completely fall apart if he leaves. She acts like a beat down puppy but then makes snarky comments at everything he does that further pushes him away. I really think it’s over for them. I hate to say. But I’m no Dr. Phil so let me shut up.
At first I thought Shannon was just being real and maybe she is,love her. It just seems too much, it’s uncomfortable. I just mute it bc David is HOT!! I think she is punishing him and her comment about “owing viewer’s”?? He doesn’t owe me a damn thing, and if he did I would choose something else;) Lord forgive me,I know he is married.
The trophy wife is a moment wife and a joke! Not a funny joke but the kinda joke that you cover your head until it’s over.
Vicki is rocking it,I love she is happy and if it’s Brooks then good for her. The only thing I agree with Heather about.
I agree that Vicki looks the best she ever has on the show! Everything is settled, and it seems may she has had the tip of her nose slightly lowered? Whatever it is, she looks very pretty!
Vicky looks sensational this season. I wish Lisa Vanderpump would take note and get the same hair style — she would look years younger and much more beautiful.
YES! long bob with side swept bangs. Almost anything would be an improvement.
Agreed. All I can think of every time I see LVP is that she needs to update her hair style.
Yes … that hair style screams “Dynasty” — so outdated and aging.
My guess is Ken wants it long and she wants to please him.
not just the hairstyle the bedazzled, satin shirts can go as well
Lisa Vanderpump would look great with that hair cut! It is really a great cut.
Didn’t Vickie and Tamra say they haven’t spoken in 6 months? This is just telling me Vickie wants to play nice with Tamra through filming so Tamra doesn’t spill any secrets about her this season. Smooth move Vicki! Lol
My sentiments as well. I wonder what kind of secrets they are holding over each other.
Regarding Shannon and David…I was in a VERY bad marriage to a sociopathic felon. There was never any chance of it working out and no amount of therapy or new age mumbo jumbo could fix it. I remarried a terrific man who I was and am in love with and who loves me back. Marriage takes work, sure; but it shouldn’t be 99% work and 1% happiness. I don’t think that David is in love with Shannon nor has he been for a long time. He is settling and so is she. When something is dead…bury it and move on. The kids must be suffering because they ALWAYS sense the tension and may even feel responsible for some of it. To continue beating a dead horse is harmful and never works. Shannon is an unhappy person who seems to want to be happy but doesn’t know how. She will never truly get over David’s affair and he will be miserable living with a woman he doesn’t love the way he should to maintain a marriage that is filled with joy and love. The “Divorce is not an option” theory is BS and only makes an already open wound fester and grow. David needs to let go and be true to himself and Shannon needs therapy with a REAL therapist who can work on her individual problems and not on how she arranges lemons in a bowl or practices some kind of voodoo magic that will never work. She is delusional in a sad way and David can no longer look anyone in the eye because of the shame that he is being made to relive every single minute hs stays with Shannon. How can this ever turn into a happy situation? Sorry, that’s my opinion and watching them interact is not something I want to do in the little bit of spare time that I have. They should NEVER have signed up to do another season of this show. It was and is the kiss of death for their marriage. There is NO marriage there…just existence.
So completely agree. I hope their not a big part of the season. Real-life tragedy doesn’t work for me on these shows. I started watching them to escape and unwind. Watching someone’s marriage crumble is not entertainment. David looks like an empty shell. Shannon looks like a miserable woman. Their kids must be miserable too living in that house. Some people choose divorce too quickly, but these two just need to pack it up and move on. David will for sure be happier. I’m not sure if Shannon is capable of happy.
Totally agree.
100% correct Merilyn. Shannon has issues that have nothing to do with David. She’s using him as a scapegoat so that she doesn’t have to confront her own stuff. There’s no such thing as good enough with people like her. And that attitude leads to perpetual misery for her and anybody who has to deal with her.
That is some bitter truth Merilyn, painful but true.
David should let the shame go. Affairs happen to many a good person. The divorce is not an option is an illusion, because its a one-sided opinion. Divorce may not be an option for Shannon, but she can’t control how David feels. I do think David worries that Shannon would fall apart completely if he left. I wonder how the other woman feels and if it was serious at all. The truth is David would have no trouble moving on, but Shannon most likely would ,and would probably wind up alone. The thought struck me this year that as an adult; there’s only a few ways of living, single or married or living together(very similar to marriage). You essentially have to figure out which suits you best and then really embrace it. But if your’e miserable married and miserable single you will just be plain miserable. Iv’e seen women be unhappymarried and never stop complaining, and then bitter and pissed when single again.
Seeing Meghan and Jim reminds me of Camille and Kelsey. No chemistry when on screen together and passive aggressive remarks. It is like he is following Kelsey’s play book….. “Here Third Wife, you participate in this mindless show so that you feel that you have a hobby, um, I mean a career and keep the home fires burning while I am in St. Louis working for extended periods of time.” Wink wink, nudge nudge.
@jrleaguer-
Wow! That is interesting, because I also was reminded of Camile and Kelsey. Very phony and all for show. He is an asshole, and she is clearly a trophy wife.
I’m sure the second wife is laughing her ass off and glad to be free from Jim. And the little brat child.

Great recap! Tamra talking to Brooks about farting. Ugh. Tamra talking to anyone about anal. Ugh. Miss Vickie looks fabulous. WTH? Meghan – looks like a giraffe and marking her territory. David apologizing to his kids – no. The father who provides them the roof over their heads has to grovel before them? Bad all the way around. They will ALL play the DADDY CHEATED ON MOMMY CARD. Get out, David, while you can! Heather and her own line of wine. Good God. Damn I love this show.
I love Vicki, too, she does look happy and beautiful.. In fact, I just totally agree with your post.
Watching Meghan and her husband then seeing her talking head comments causes me to wonder. Are she and I watching the “same show”?
Shannon and David’s daughters are wonderful! They should drop the phony therapist and listen to them. “It’s time to go to Disneyworld.” (Have some fun and really try to lay it down.)
Oopsie! That was in response to Gingersnap’s post…way up there. See what happens when a person steps away from the computer for a minute/or 20. Sorry about that!
I would rather see Lizzie back full time, but evidently she is choosing to be FOH. Meghan is just another skinny blond. Very boring.
Katie was great. Meagan is annoying and four months in her husband is an ass. I used to like Eddie but he’s an ass too. Vicki looks great, especially when looking at flashback scenes. Brooks has grown on me and he makes Vicki happy. She and Tamara will never truly move on. I’m not married and don’t have kids but bringing kids into marital issues seems wrong on so many levels. I get they know what David did but why air family business with the kids publicly? Heather, please.
“Horrid Creature Summit” ahhhhh, yup. I can’t handle scenes with either of these couples on their own, seeing them all together was gross. Could Terry make his sucking up to Jim any more transparent as he tells his daughter a dozen times that Jim held her when she was a newborn? And, yes, bet the 2nd wife is loving seeing how yucky this 3rd marriage appears only a few months in.
I find it sad that Shannon and David are even on RHOOC. I like them both. Last season got too deep into their matital issues. This season it is beyond sad and should be private. I cannot imagine why Shannon wants to air this. I think doing the show is all her. I think David is mortified to be showing the world their issues, no matter who is to blame for any of it. I wish they had skipped being back on until divorced or happily married. I would enjoy watching either of them very much, if they were good together, or good alone.
I disagree that there is any value to airing this for them as a couple or anything owed to viewers. They could have simply made a statement on social media that they are working on their relationship and not doing this season. Putting this on public display makes me question could it just be a made up story line, which I doubt is the case. That would be nearly as insane as putting your real most intimate issues on display.The willing public humiliation makes me disappointed in them. I don’t like believing they are this low in propriety or this hungry for recognition. I guess I must face the fact, seemingly sweet kooky Shannon, is so desperate for attention, she has no boundaries.
It’s hard to admit that Shannon is a fame whore but she is just like the rest of them. In the first episode she said David had an affair during “what should have been the best year of my life.” And why was it supposed to be the best year of her life? Fame, whore. >
Agree, Lady Cocotte, and what they did to their kids is imo child abuse.
Is there any tea on who David cheated with?
