So I was busy remembering what having a real life was at 9. Now at 11:30 I am about to watch RHOOC. This may be more of a random thoughts thing than a recap.
Random Thought #1 Meghan is not just a cunt satchel, she’s cunt checked luggage and a cunt trunk. Oh and the show has not started yet. There is still ten minutes of Odd Mom Out. I am not hating this part of Odd Mom Out. It may grow on me. I didn’t know rich people did credit card roulette. I’ve seen it done. But more often with people not spending $6k for a lettuce leaf and some sake, there is usually a posturing for who “gets” to pay for it because they make more than the rest of us. I love when that happens. Because, peon.
Random Thought #2 Meghan wants it known that she was flirting with David. And she had the balls to call Shannon to ask for her help with a charity event. And she can’t believe that Shannon doesn’t like her. Meghan’s whole story line seems to be “this one time at a hoe down, I was the hoe so I should so be on this show!”
Random Thought #3 Heather loves pretending she paid for the private jet. #PromotionalScene
Random Thought #4 Well that is a great Christian duo . Tamra “I’m saved so if you don’t like it, suck it!” And Meghan “If a church sings all the verses, I don’t have time for that, I don’t want to spend my whole Sunday there.” Sigh. Sadly, these are the “Christians” of 2015 in the OC. I knew I was going to be bothered by this storyline. Not because I am particularly religious, but because I have great respect for those who truly are. This could be a new low for Bravo and that bar is below sea level. 
Random Thought #5 I love that no one cares about Heather’s sparkling wine or Tamra’s wine. Or Heather’s pretentious over budget comments.
Random Thought #6 Meghan is a cunt satchel. I agree, your caterer would know how many cocktail weenies you need. Why should she be sorry?
Random Thought #7 Meghan is a cunt satchel.
Random Thought #8 Meghan is a cunt satchel.
Random Thought #9 Meghan is a cunt satchel.
Random Thought #10 Meghan is a cunt trunk.
I have a theory that Tamra is trying to save her HW job by turning into Vicky. The religious BS, the cute toilet paper sticking to the panties, the I am just a goofy sweet girl! Fortunately Meghan is there to take over as the Cunt Satchel. And I have to say she has a gift. She was making me want to vomit in my mouth all night. How amazingly inappropriate to bring up that totally unimportant telephone call with Shannon at a party. After all the whiney crying from Shannon, I was cheering when she said, I am done here. Now if she could just say that to David. Thank you Bravo for no pacifiers tonight.
Ughhhh Megan is awful. She seems like a “you can’t sit with us” girl. I’m not a huge fan of Shannon, but I can’t imagine what kind of guy her husband is… He has kids, is an ex pro athlete and he marries that? God, if she was my step mother, I would refuse to visit.
His daughter stands off to the side and laughs each time she speaks. The kid is smart. Jim apparently is having trouble finding an appropriate wife; I don’t think this one is going to work out either.
I couldn’t quite put my finger on what this new Tamra personality is about but that is it! And Heather too? I used to love how sophisticated she is, but this season it seems she is trying too hard!
I agree lisamia. Meagan got her answer – but she kept harping on it. I detest her already, and I have never been a Shannon fan.
There was nothing cute about the toilet paper. Who would touch that. They are right by the bathroom, tell them and let them deal with it themselves.
That toilet paper “scene” was just that, totally made up. What woman doesn’t double check – unless she’s totally blitzed and these women really don’t know what it is liked to be truly blitzed.
Tamra “may” have found religion, but she sure seems just like old Tamra. “I found Jesus so suck it” doesn’t sound too Christian-like to me.
Reminds me of Dina from RHONJ and her Buddism…”Zen bitches”. Lame.
I don’t know how much more of Shannon’s public shaming of David I can take. They must be either VERY hungry for fame or very unaware of how they are coming across to let this be filmed or to air.
It’s close to becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy. If she keeps treating David as someone who will cheat again, he will eventually figure why not, and cheat again. He tells her they stopped for sushi, and Christian had him try some sake, and she turns it into him knocking back multiple sake shots over lunch. Then when he gets angry at her for assuming he was drunk, she gets upset and it’s his fault for not letting her express her feelings.
She hasn’t forgiven him yet, not even a little bit.
And she never will. I know David was wrong for having the affair, but Shannon needs to take responsibility for some of that as well. The marriage wasn’t working. He wanted a divorce. It was even mentioned last season. Shannon was all about the divorce is not an option, and she refused to give him one. She can’t keep treating him like trash and expect this to work. What was really telling was when David described the affair as feeling alive for the first time in a long time. He’s done. Maybe she guilted him into trying one more time because of the kids, but she’s too psycho for this to work.
I have many friends that are doing the same thing to their husbands. My opinion (I’m not a professional) is that these men need to prove they are now being honest. There has to be a grace period – if the wife needs to check emails and texts, so be it. Trust is earned and takes time to be rebuilt. But once that’s agreed upon, the snappy, snide comments need to end. The endless nitpicking that makes everyone around you uncomfortable has to stop. I’ve told these girlfriends that they need to either commit to fixing it or walk away. Kiss of death is if she decides to go to counseling by herself and not couples counseling. She does that, she’s likely preparing to leave.
I couldn’t agree more, it’s ridiculous. I can’t imagine how they think this is going to help their marriage.
@sequoia- Kind of a dumb question, does your handle have anything to do with the Sequoia National Park in California?????
ITA. I can’t stand to watch them. I’m actually done with this show. Tamara and Eddie make my skin crawl!
I chose sequoia because I’m gay-ancient or gaychient like a sequoia. It’s a radical fairy thang…
Nothing like being around a couple who are constantly bickering, the worst. Hate to live in that house.
i vote for fame-whores. After season one they cannot be this unaware of how things appear on air.
At this point it almost doesn’t matter who started what – it looks like there is plenty of blame to spread around. If they want to stay together, (privately) work to fix it, or divorce.
I don’t know what sort of parents would expose their children to this train wreck. I was disgusted last week at the televising of David’s apology. It was bad enough that their children knew that daddy is a cheater, but now all of their friends and teachers know, too. Thanks mom and dad!
Shanon being so upset with David for drinking sakes on the lunch stop to the vineyard was screaming insecurity. I can’t imagine infidelity and what it does to a marriage but it seems last season, she was always this wound up too. Constantly the scenes were filled with her being annoyed at him. I hoe that’s not the case this season again. #eyeroll
Hope** ^.
Wow and three commenters all at the same time posting about the same thing without knowing and it’s not even part of tamaras random thoughts…
Many of these Housewife women are very controlling and domineering. Shannon’s attitude toward David is just a recent example. Remember Heather denying Terry his onion rings? On his birthday yet! And Tamra losing her nuts over her son getting married? Or Vicki being awful when Donn surprised her with a vacation trip for their anniversary, that she didn’t want to go on because she hadn’t planned it and she allegedly doesn’t like surprises? I believe that a good relationship features equality and balance. I know this is gonna sound anti-feminist, but here goes: These men are whipped. And not in a good way. ;0)
I agree. There is a certain balance and biology to the male female dynamic . You fuck with that and it implodes . It will not be denied.
I don’t disagree, but in fairness, if someone gave me a bad edit, I, too, would look controlling and domineering. Married a loooong time. We both have our “bad edit” moments.
Anyway, if I met Heather at a party, I would roll my eyes and walk away. What a phoney faker. She’s like a teen mean girl who is putting on a show for everyone at the party. Yea, we’re all looking at YOU, Heather. Ugh.
no it’s not “anti feminist” actually; you’re not saying any man who listens to his wife as an equal is an idiot and not a real man. I myself do a lot for various, obviously pro-woman/pro-equality organizations and agree with you 110%. I have never been married, though, and my middle eastern parents have a traditional marriage for their own culture so… it is not so easy for me to know what is or is not normal for most, modern American relationships BUT these women have struck me as mean, domineering, controlling and just not loving/kind to their husbands for years. I didn’t know if this is… what marriage is supposed to look like after 15 years when you are very wealthy so thank you for confirming my suspicions. I can not imagine ANYONE wanting to live with that, male or female. It must be liking walking on eggshells all the time.
@melina I too am not married, but I have and the good fortune to witness many happy marriages. And a number of them between some awfully wealthy people. Not all rich people are philandering head cases. In a happy marriage, it would seem that neither spouse looks like they’re afraid of the other. There’s no weird tension hanging in the air. The spouses seem to really be friends and enjoy each other’s company. If they do have disagreements, as many couples normally do, they keep it to themselves and don’t humiliate each other before friends, family or TV cameras. They don’t air out each other’s dirty laundry, and they both seem to have mostly the same goals in mind for the marriage in general. I know there’s more, but that’s all I can think of now.
Well I can tell you infidelity is one of the most horrific thing a person can do to your soul. Betrayal. I equate getting through it like coming through the birth canal again and you are not sure what the new world will look like. You are gripped with fear and anxiety. Meanwhile every time you see the person it brings it all back up again. Half the times you don’t even know what you are doing. I can write a book.
Exactly. It entirely re-shaped (at least for the time being) my world view. I’m hoping it’s temporary and eventually I might come back around to being more like the optimistic, trusting person I was, but I think something like this leaves lasting changes. I can’t imagine if it was my husband of over 20 years. I think Shannon really wants to move forward with david, but she’s right, sometimes she cannot control her emotions/feelings, and that’s fair. She can control her actions and I feel she does- she approaches him and needs to be able to talk about what’s going on with her. You can’t put someone through a blender of betrayal, fear, etc. and then expect them to always have a handle on themselves while they repair and rebuild their relationship and sanity. They both need to show one another compassion and patience to the best of their abilities if they truly want to salvage their marriage.
I am thoroughly revolted by Meghan. I don’t sense the slightest bit of love or affection between her and her husband, he actually seems to barely tolerate her. That bodes well. She is extremely juvenile and entitled for a 30 year old, no sense of decorum or manners. Shannon tried to explain herself and be calm and this whiny bitch is yapping on about how her feelings were hurt. Buckle up little girl, because if this shit hurts you I have no idea wtf you’re going to do when real life hits.
Bev,
I agree with you on this subject. People that haven’t experienced such betrayal have no right to judge those that have. It’s a living hell!
I’m right there with you BevyP. Infidelity wreaks havoc on a marriage. It happens to me 23 years in and it’s no joke. Everything in life as you knew it changes. I became extremely insecure and reclusive. There was no way that I could have continued in my marriage. Many people are able to overcome that type of betrayal, but I was not interested. We were broken & I needed to preserve my sanity. 4 years later, I’m much better off. Sad Shannon is painful to watch and I don’t think she knows how to let things go. Involving her kids in that apology was VERY inappropriate. But they are probably the only reason David stays. So sad for both of them
i agree with you. I don’t think people realize how devastating infidelity can be until it’s happened to you. It’s easy for others to judge.
I have alot of empathy for Shannon. I just wish she wasn’t doing this on TV. I can’t see how it’s helpful and I hate that she’s exposing herself and her family to ridicule and judgment at such a vulnerable time. Judging is the raison d’etre of many watching these shows. She’s like fish in a barrel.
My ex cheated on me, too. 23 years later, I see it’s one of the best things he did for me. I was such a door mat back then. Our divorce was my Independence Day. Now, no one treats me like crap.
The best part was 6 months after we split. He came over and apologized to me. His new girlfriend was spending all his money. I never did that. I even waived alimony. Now, he wanted me back. But even after only 6 months, I was stronger. I laughed at his request.
We had a very odd marriage, though.
I am relieved to read comments from people who have empathy for Shannon. On watch what happens live Heather said that Shannon said that she is an all in kind of person. If she is going to be on a reality show she is all in and will really show what is going on.
Shannon’s way too enmeshed with David. It’s as if the others see him drunk she thinks it’s going to reflect badly on her.
As far as the affair, shame on David – but as an outsider looking in I can definitely see how it happened. Shannon has too much power in the relationship. It’s all about her & what she wants. They’re living this lifestyle because it’s what Shannon wants, not David.
As the kids got older & needed Shannon less, instead of finding a hobby or outside interests she became too preoccupied with David & looked towards him to make her happy. The guy’s working is ass off & she can’t even plan a romantic weekend getaway!
I don’t think he was looking for it but when he was given the opportunity he found it so appealing he went for it. It was an escape that validated his manhood. An affair with a woman who didn’t put any demands on him – an easy breezy 1/1 where he was made to feel like a man instead of a kid whose constantly being scolded.
David should’ve put his foot down & demanded the separation & if they wanted to work on the marriage, do so but living separately. The odds of her completely forgiving him (& forever letting it go) are slim.
Totally. David should have done the honorable thing and told Shannon that he wanted out. THEN go and get a new girlfriend. However, it looks like maybe Shannon wouldn’t give him a divorce. That can happen, right? Both spouses have to agree to split?
For all intents and purposes their relationship seems to be done for. Shannon needs to let go, if for no other reason than to preserve her kids’ relationship with their father. The dissolution of a relationship isn’t a failure. It’s a chance to begin anew. Cheating is indicative of much larger problems. Sometimes capitulating is the best and most beneficial thing to do for both parties.
Sharon seems to be intensely dissatisfied with herself and her environment. Emotionally blackmailing David and holding him hostage simply isn’t going to fix anything. Like, last episode, during the therapy with the tombstone, Shannon wasn’t satisfied with what David had written in his pretend eulogy for her. She said something like he didn’t use enough words. Oh my gawd! That relationship is doomed. Just doomed.
When she complained about the eulogy I said to myself – WTF! She even criticizes him when she’s supposed to be playing dead! ⊙.☉ If he doesn’t live up to her criteria, she needs to cut him loose. Let her look for Mr. Perfect that cuts the meat, chews his food, doesn’t snack before meals, shows his undying love round the clock & will be her home entertainment center 24/7. Who knows she may luck out & find this guy but she also may realize David wasn’t so bad after all.
The way she nags reminds me a lot of my sister who’s currently on husband #3. Two of her favorites nags are: “Have you washed your hands? Let me see” (before eating) & “Of course you want this” (after telling her you don’t). Her current husband has lasted the longest because he spends the majority of his time outside the house with his hobbies + he’s developed the amazing ability to completely tune her out 😉
Minky, we are a “no fault” divorce state, so it doesn’t matter if Shannon objects to a divorce. We’re also a community property state, which may be why he doesn’t want a divorce. The thought of a prenuptial agreement is interesting – If it’s true that her parents gave David the money to start his business, any renup may benefit her, not him.
David would lose his job if he divorced Shannon. Her father owns him.

@TT~ That was my thought too. David has a few million reasons why he lets Shannon hang his balls like healing crystals.
I don’t understand why the dude married Meghan. They are newlyweds and it is clear he hates her. Does she have something on him? He proposed before his second divorce was finalized, IIRC.

Thanks Tamara. That explains a lot of things regarding these two for me. Being beholden to anyone, or in any sort of a no-way-out situation, is no way to live. David could try to get another job. Then he wouldn’t have anything hanging over his head about Shannon supporting him.
David does work hard, and is qualified and very good at his job. It’s just that Shannon’s father financed him to take things to the next level where he gets all the good state contracts for infrastructure construction. He earns the money. He just got some help getting to the status he has. I believe Shannon’s father is majority owner of the company. I read the whole details once but have since forgotten it all.

I’m surprised. In one of Shannon’s blogs when Terry called him a douche and made him sound like a dumb construction worker, she said David started started his company on his own with his dad and that he has multiple degrees. She said they met in college. He doesnt strike me as the type to stay in a marriage for money or a golddigger.
He is not any of those things. He did all of those things and has all of those degrees. IIRC, Shannon’s Dad infused his business with a shit ton of money after they were married because he is filthy rich. As like an investor. If he is not the primary 51% owner, he’s 49%. David is not a gold digger, his FIL just realized his potential and heavily invested in his company.
Leaving the marriage would make things difficult.

I don’t believe David’s a golddigger at all. Actually last season he mentioned a few times that he’d love to downsize. He’s working hard for the money so Shannon will be happy (not him).
Exactly. Shannon wants a certain lifestyle. He would be happy anywhere. If she was.

Meghan’s husband is always running away from her like she smells like rotten eggs or a nasty fart. Wife #4 cant be too far behind.
She sure is trying really hard to rile up Shannon to make a name for herself.
My brother stayed in a miserable marriage because it was easier than leaving. I think that’s why David stays, especially if Shannon’s dad owns his company. Luckily, my brother finally wised up & left. He’s never been happier & his kids are happier now that they have 2 happy homes instead of one miserable one.
I wondered if drinking was something that David was doing with the girlfriend. Shannon commented last season that David never drinks, and then suddenly he was drinking. It probably brings back bad memories and fears that he is going to cheat again.
It sounds like they were driving to Napa. From OC that’s a good 7-8 hour drive. Unless they had a driver, I would have be worried about him doing Sake bombs with Christian, too.
I think if it wasn’t drinking it would be some else. I think at this point David can’t win. No matter what he does she will get emotional and angry.
TT when you get your sainthood, please remember us plebeians who cast our eyes asunder to your holy house in Hot’Lanta where you offer your eyes and torture the very senses that set us apart from the microbes, all in the name of self flagellation by watching the unholy of unholies aka RHOC.
No more women stuffed to the gills with artificial filler and silicon gel, bored with their lives of excess and unhappiness determined to bring us right into the gutter with us.
Please make it stop dear God please.
So true about the enhancements and fixes. They look like a race of aliens. I wish someone could photoshop these women to let us see what they would look like without all the plastic surgery. My guess is that they’d look, well, a lot like us!
And Mrs. Judge wants us to look at her boobs so we don’t notice the wrinkles and cellulite in her arms.
Let’s not forget the wrinkles above the knee that scream from below the Forever21 LBD!
I noticed the same thing about her arms. The neck, arms, hands and knees always give it away, no matter how great your face looks. There is a reason why women of a certain age start wearing longer skirts and sleeves. I’ve noticed that some of the housewives who look okay in a shorter skirt standing can ruin the illusion when they sit, and the thighs do scary things.
Im on Shannon’s side allways. Meaghen thinks she’s all that, wait till she sees what a short shelf life we women have to be on top. Its over in a nano second. What comes around goes around. The trophy wife is soon to be the over the hill biological clock is ticking, dont be so arrogant.
A ticking biological clock is an idiom for wanting a baby. Not being old.
Sad but true. In your 20s and 30s you can still look youthful and hot. Once the 40s hit, you can look fit, beautiful, attractive, etc, but you no longer have that “hot young chick” look. Women like Kim Z. try to recapture it with surgery, but it’s still not the same. 40-45 is the age when if your husband wanted a trophy wife, you’re in trouble. She’s foolish for calling the other women old, because her day is coming. Personally I don’t think she going to stay married for too much longer regardless.
Yes and the clock ticking is not necessarily saying a girl is getting old, but we dont have as much extra time guys as the guys do. 35 comes around quick and then 40 does as well. Our fertility varies women to women. I think no matter how young you are dont treat anyone worse than you would want to be treated at that age. I would never bring up that someones husband was possibly flirting with me to their wife . That would go over like a lead balloon. You just humiliated the wife and implied she should be insecure because youre younger. Better to have played stupid, than to ask gee was that a problem when your husband talked to me at that party? Then you go on to accuse them of being rude to you on the phone. Meaghen belongs with the mean girls Heather and Tamra.
Sometimes people say the clock is ticking about finding a mate or achieving a certain life goal by a certain accepted age too. Both genders. Everybody has a cut off to achieving certain things. My neighbor said it about her son recently who at 54 has never married or had a child yet. She allways excused it for years, by saying he’s still young. Now she says he’s missed the boat. Its probably true.I personally think he’s too picky and never thought anyone was good enough.
Interesting. Different perspectives, I guess. I was not impressed (nor am I now) with Meghan. I know it’s very early to tell yet, but she seems, I don’t know, can’t put my finger on it.
However, I honestly thought she was trying to just set the record straight and move on. I thought Shannon just went off the rails, and I couldn’t see a reason for that. Am I the only one who saw it this way? Seriously. Be straight with me, sistahs… I can take it. I DID have oral surgery today so I am literally wasted from narcotics. Perhaps in my drug induced haze, I saw it wrong.
I don’t hate Shannon at all. I pity her. She needs loads of therapy and has to just calm the hell down. She seems utterly broken. I find their squabbling and constant bickering very unpleasant to watch.
Tamra… Boobs. Boobs. Boobs. She has to be the most self-obsessed housewife we have seen. Shoving her boobs in everyone’s faces just dying for someone, ANYONE, to notice.
She comes off so desperate, so insecure. Hey Tamra… No one gives a fuck about your boobs, girl. Give it a rest.
I too feel some pity for Shannon, and she’s one of my favorites in OC, but she seems to lack the ability to be introspective about her circumstances. She’s insecure and neurotic, and that probably has a source in her past. Unfortunately she’s using her marriage to try to heal a wound that might not have anything to do with David. That part of her personality reminds me of Aviva, except that Shannon is a much, much nicer person.
Meghan is not trying to set a damn thing straight. She’s using her blog to inflict still more harm. The question is: Why? If someone blatantly flirted with your spouse in your presence, and then told everyone about it, kept reminding you about it, and THEN had the nerve to ask for your help with anything, we all might react in a similar way.
Hmmmm… Perhaps Meghan WAS flirting with David and is trying to over-compensate by bringing it up and continually apologizing for it. I don’t remember her bringing it up more than once, though (again, Percocet).
And I think missed the Brooks stuff. Clearly I will have to rewatch when I am better.
But that WAS how I saw it.
I said it last season, and it remains true: Shannon shouldn’t be on tv. There’s always been an undercurrent of nervousness in her speech and mannerisms. Clearly, her nine lemons/healing touch schtick isn’t working. It’s likely just making her more neurotic.
Watching David apologize to his daughters for his actions during the last episode was unnerving. At least the girls will be able to reference that moment for ETERNITY.
As far as Meghan- I’m half expecting her to roll up with Slade in an upcoming episode…
Sari, LMAO over the comment about Meghan rolling up with Slade — that would be a perfect match. BTW, does TT have a male version of cunt satchel?
Ugh I can’t stand Meghan. She brings up the flirting repeatedly because she sees it bothers Shannon. That’s all.
No pip you are not. Shannon is coming off as a train wreck. That is lashing out.
I so agree, crazy train wreck.
sad and pitiful train wreck
I saw it that way too. I didn’t think it was any big deal for her to try to explain herself to Shannon and Shannon freaked out for no reason. But that’s how Shannon has been for 2 seasons now. She’s completely annoying.
On the one hand, I don’t understand all of the hatred for Meghan because she’s insinuated that Brooks is faking his cancer. It’s not outside the realm of possibility that he is pulling another con. He’s been absolutely hated since he came on the show. What better way to redeem yourself and garner some sympathy than by playing the cancer card?
On the other hand, I volunteer at a place called Living Foods Institute here in Atlanta. Some people go there just to learn how to be healthier in their eating, but the majority that go there have very serious health issues and most of them have cancer. The sessions are usually 2 weeks long and I have seen people who have been in wheelchairs for a year be able to get up and walk by themselves in less than those 2 weeks just by eating raw, taking special natural supplements and cutting out things like bread, milk, sugar etc. So I also see where Brooks would be able to have the energy he seems to have by eating a certain way. I will reserve judgement on the cancer thing until there is proof one way or the other. If he has cancer, that’s sad. But it doesn’t excuse all the shitty stuff he’s done before.
As for Heather and her constantly talking about the price of things, I’ve always believed that people who talk about how much their stuff costs, deep down, they feel that it is the only thing (having more money than others) that gives them any value. So I think it’s kind of sad. But I actually like Heather anyway.
The Brooks thing isn’t my issue with Meaghen. I don’t like her for every other reason but that. Im not convinced or buying stuff about that guy either. What I don’t like is that she seems shallow, insenitive;cruel and annoying as hell. I get annoyed with all the I promised myself I wouldn’t marry a man more than 11years older blah blah blah. Who cares. I just dont like the energy she puts out.
I thought the same thing, too – trying to clear the air. Meghan commented she had heard rumors that Shannon felt Meghan had been flirting with David at the hoedown, and watching Shannon I can just imagine who started the rumors. Maybe it was edited out, but I didn’t see any sign of Meghan flirting. More like being friendly. Shannon says and writes (now) that she didn’t think it was flirting. So what’s the problem?
I thought Shannon seemed a little rude on the phone. If she thought it was a solicitor from MO, why did she continue speaking for as long as she did? (Shannon knew there was a new HW from St. Louis, so wouldn’t she have been able to figure out it was THAT Meghan?) I’m not a fan of Meghan, but Shannon’s reaction to her seems over the top. She is a newlywed to a seemingly dismissive man, living in a new city/state, and trying to make friends. I don’t know why Shannon couldn’t have just said oh sorry, I wasn’t aware of who you were (even if that’s not the truth). Conflict deescalated! Since Shannon didn’t return her call, and didn’t return Meghan’s text (which should have explained just who she was), I can’t take Shannon’s side on this one. As usual, Shannon blew up and ran off. Jeez, it’s for charity. Would it be that hard to just answer the damned questions?
Shannon STARTS CHARITIES!!!
She probably does her family is rich as fuck.

HAHAHA But points taken away for boasting!
Meg should’ve been apologizing to Shannon. Like who randomly calls you and doesn’t even say their own name right!? Shannon was funny tonight. I would’ve been annoyed if my husband had shots before a nice event also! Shannon calmed herself down well and I thought the gift to tamra was cute and funny.
Hahaha! What gift? There was a gift? Okay, clearly I was too medicated to watch this tonight. I remember no gift giving, no Brooks shit, and half the other crap you guys are talking about. Oye! Forgive me. I’m not ignorant. Just loopy. I will rewatch when I am normal again.
I don’t remember a gift either…..and I am not lucky enough to blame it on narcotics. 🙂
The “morning after pill” which was an herbal pill to help relieve a hang over. It was cute but I didn’t like Tamara’s comment in her interview when she said it was an alcoholic gift. Last season the girls made comments about Shannon’s drinking so I found that to be a dig from Tamara.
it was megan who gave the gift
Shannon is a loon. It’s hard to watch her. I have a hyphenated last name and most often don’t say the whole thing either. If Shannon thought it was a sales call, why did she answer while in the car with her kids? And, why all the shock about people actually calling someone on the phone? Very few people have house phones any more, so calling someone’s cell is not a big damn deal. It’s the only number to call.
And I just can’t watch any more Shannon and David stuff. It’s just too sad. That marriage is over. They may not get divorced any time soon, but the marriage is over. She’s so tightly wound (and was before the affair) that I’m not sure she’s capable of experiencing joy. Who wants to live with that? She needs major therapy (not lemons and quacks waving their hands over her belly) and probably some medication.
Umm Shannon met that ugly girl Meg one time and I’m sure Meg def used her husbands last name then. Meg sounded immature — really your offended that I didn’t know who the hell you were? Get over it– just like you said it was just a call – no big deal but Meg made a point to bring it up.. For what?! Who cares
She brought it up because production told her to. Those discussions about where and when to bring up topics are so silly because we all know production tells the women when to mention something. I’m sure in the real world, Meghan really didn’t care enough to mention that Shannon was rude to her.
Shannon is as crazy as a pet coon. Can’t stand her.
if I was Shannon, I wouldn’t give Meghan air in a jug with all the issues she seems to have with Shannon. Flirting with her husband at the hoedown, calling her for help with a charity event when Shannon obviously didn’t know her or how she got her number and being upset because Shannon didn’t respond the way Meghan thought she should would have gotten more from me than I am done here.
I do agree however that the Beadors storyline is a bit heavy on the too intimate side and I don’t think David will be out of the doghouse anytime soon. He doesn’t seem to have a clue as to what might set her off with his actions. My question is what is the deal about David drinking shots? I can’t remember if he has a problem with alcohol but she seems to get upset everytime he does. Did I miss something or is it when he’s drinking that he strays?
It sounds like David didn’t drink much before the affair and Shannon is associating the drinking and $800 glasses (caring more about his appearance) with the affair. There is so much bitterness and mistrust in their marriage that I don’t see how their problems can be mended.
Here is how I see it HK – last season Shannon mentioned she had never seen David take shots, until the Hoe Down. The morning of the Hoe Down is when she noticed something was different with David. That lead to her questioning if he was having a fling. After being told she was “crazy ” “over reacting “- she finds out her fears were reality. So maybe she associates David taking shots with that time of their life when he strayed.
Tara, I think the same as you. Shannon connects the drinking with the affair.
Wasn’t he having tequila shots in Mexico? I’m think he’s drinking to deal with the stress.
Happy Birthday, Tamara!
Now THAT’s a party! Happy Birthday, Tamara! Celebrate yourself in high style!
Very happy birthday Tamara. Have a good one.
Happy birthday!
Love trips. Love the parties the ladies throw, but I’m over the over-produced, manufactured drama we sometimes find on these shows and tonight with Megan and her non-issue was a PERFECT example. IRL, anyone with whom I have no professional or social connection who magically happens gets my cel number without pre-approval is getting a curt (but polite) flip-off, period. You don’t know if the person on the other end is a pranker, scammer, or plant to start stirring up some ish in your life. Until we have established some sort of acquaintance then you need to STAND DOWN and STEP BACK because LADY. I.DON’T. KNOW. YOU. If you’re all gung ho about coming together on the basis of a vested mutual interest, then you come CORRECT so I know who you are and what your INTENTIONS are. This younger generation has got this 24/7-all access mentality twisted big time with zero understanding of communications etiquette.
I totally agree with you about that stupid phone call.
I suspect it was producer driven though. The reason for the call was so dumb “How many hordeuvres do I need?” She didn’t need to call Shannon for that. She could call the caterer.
I think the producers wanted to stir some shyt by poking the Crazy Shannon Bear. She’s the designated drama driver this season. Tamra and Heather were probably begging for better edits this season and Vicki is surprisingly mild and happy now with Brooks in her life full-time. Someone needs to drive drama and Shannon already has the marital woes going on.
I couldn’t even watch the whole thing so I’m catching up here. After reading everyone’s posts, I’m glad I didn’t stick it out. The OC used to be my favorite franchise and I have been watching since Day 1. Gone are the days of Jeanna and Vicki having fabulous neighborhood parties /sigh. When it first aired there was nothing else like it on television and it was a peek into a world most people didn’t have access to. Not any more. I can’t with these women any more.
More importantly though – HAPPY BIRTHDAY TT!!!
David needs to go. Its not going to work out with Shannon. She is a sad case that needs some serious non-herbal help. This fact is before and after the affair. I’m very suprised you didn’t mention Shannon’s treatment of her husband!
The confrontation over the phone call was typical RH manufactured drama. IRL, Meaghan would never have brought it up, but conversely, Shannon upped the drama level, by blowing up and walking away. She could have graciously said, “I didn’t realize who it was, I was busy with my kids when you called and I didn’t recognize your number. But now that I know what it’s about, how can I help you?” End of drama. But since there’s nothing real about these real housewives, we’ll never see rational handling of conflict.
Agreed. It also makes me crazy when people comment on why someone said something at this “inappropriate” time — it’s because that’s all producer driven. Not like Meghan could have chosen to not ask Shannon about the call.
This was hilarious!! Thanks so much! What do you think of Megan?
Happy Birthday!!! Stay cool in this awful heat.
I’m stopping by to say Happy Birthday Tamara !!! I pray you have the best day ever !!!
I haven’t watched the Orange County broads yet?
Heather’s “cake” looked like it could be violating Chanel’s copyright.
That’s exactly what I thought, too.
OMG Shannon, get off of my case! (what I’d be thinking if I was David)
It gives me anxiety watching those two. This marriage is doomed. It really is sad. Hard to watch. Shannon is suffering but she is bringing a lot on to herself.
Ok, I also think Vicki had work done. Her skin looks much smoother. I think she had some sort of tightening / smoothing / lifting procedure on top of losing weight. Maybe a laser? She looks great, whatever it is!
I can’t find one redeeming quality in Meghan. In addition to failing miserable at playing the sophisticated athlete’s wife role, she comes across like a conceited twit with all the hashtag-ing and talking about how old she is BARF.
Shannon: What a PIA! Need not address the constant nagging, but with as hard as David works I have a difficult time believing he doesn’t resent all the foolish spending she does on Feng-Shui crystals and supplements and whatever else.
Brandi G, Kristen T and Megan all remind me of gangly, awkward giraffes. All knees and elbows.
All seem neurotic and needy to fit in.
#neuroticgiraffes
Yes! I was thinking the very same thing, right down to the giraffes!
Same. I find Megan very unattractive, and her personality makes her even more unattractive.
What are the chances she was in a sorority?
More Vicki please! Shanon showed more of her fun side with the girls which I liked. If she had more of that attitude in her marriage and let go of the poor beat up me actions they might be able to make it work. Cheating is hard to get over but if your gonna try try you have to forgive and move on. You can still keep your eyes open for signs for repeat infractions without hashing it out with your husband over every detail of his life. Keep your mouth shut and eyes open and you will catch someone if they are doing something inappropriate.
I am with you on random thought #4. I cringe when I think about this story line. The first talking head comment Tamra made regarding forgiveness and redemption proves that she doesn’t understand. Just because you say you are Christian doesn’t mean you will be “saved”. Let’s see if Tamra can do the walk.
How would you like to be Tamra’s kids in school today?
“Hey, I saw your mom on tv last night! She was in bed getting toilet paper picked out of her butt by her husband”
Yikes. These women love their children?
The toilet paper was mild compared to her performing fellatio on the “phallic dispenser”. “Suck it from the tip! Don’t slip!” Nothing like seeing your mother showoff her BJ skills on TV.
More than likely we’ll get to see her doing kegstands on the Unseen Footage episode. Yee ha that there Tamra’s one classy broad & she sure is purdy, ain’t she?. 😉
Especially with that fuzzy pink toilet rug/cozy wrapped around her neck.
I was wondering what the hell that was! Toilet paper stuck in the crack of her ass & wrapped up in her who-ha + a toilet rug wrapped around her neck. It wouldn’t surprise me in the least if instead of wiping like the rest of us, she spreads it out on the floor & scoots across it. 🙂
Well, Ms. Addie, you are surely right about 1 thing: the subject matter was certainly more adult and provocative regarding said BJ skills.
But consider the following: Tamra and her ball-less hubby Eddie had to actually INVITE and pose for those camaras in the bedroom while they willingly played out their toilet paper-picking scene. Wasn’t a spontaneous bit of crass look- at- me- camera time like the wine tasting film where Tamra played Head of state.
Yuk—they actually planned their little bedroom scene.
I don’t look forward to the Unseen Footage—-but I always look forward to your lively posts Addie
OMG!!! You’re hilarious, LOLOL
Already hate Meaghan. She is just trolling for a story line. Poor Shannon – can someone PLEASE get her some counseling? Heather is just as pretentious as ever. Cant stand Tamra.
I saw Megan on a rerun of Say Yes to the Dress Atlanta. She seemed so unsure of herself, so dependent on what others thought of her and her decisions. Someone above mentioned that she’s taking over for Tamra, who is growing weary of the being the token bitch. That would explain how contrived Megan’s storyline is. Trying too hard to be something she’s not?
Tamra is rotten to the core. I don’t care how much parfum de Christian she dunks herself in, that stink won’t ever go away.
“Tamra is rotten to the core. I don’t care how much parfum de Christian she dunks herself in, that stink won’t ever go away.”
Love this! Parfum de Christian, exactly!
Happy Birthday 🙂 Have a great day !
Love Lizzie and thought her outfit was adorable for the plane and I noticed she only had one bag and one beautiful handbag, yet look great for the whole trip. Also, loved her comment about Tamra’s boob job and that she knew she was jealous. So true! Happy Birthday, Tamara, I enjoy you so much!
Happy, happy birthday to you, TT. I hope it’s your best b’day ever and wishing you many more birthdays.
Happy Birthday TT – mine was yesterday! However, I don’t have the gift Tamra was given so today I am suffering,,,,
Syphilis helps with a hangover? LOL. J/K I was in need of the magic hangover pill today myself. I was up late celebrating your birthday and my last day of being a year younger!

Shannon was being a bitch. Megan is terrible but Shannon is acting like she doesn’t know she is on a tv show with Megan.
No one believes me, but I think Heather used Megan to poke and break Shannon. Deserved or not, Megan takes Shannon to a dark place. Now Megan in all in her face. Megan is Heather’s friend, and didn’t she get her on the show? Someone on the other thread said Heather isn’t a pot stirrer. She spent a whole season trying to convince the world Shannon screamed at her, constantly. She acted concerned, but told everyone Shannon was basically mental.
Imo, Heather doesn’t get mad, she gets even. I’m sorry, no one with a lick of sense thinks it made sense to call Shannon about what to serve at an event. That was very well played and it worked, now everyone is saying Shannon is nuts. Point goes to Heather…
Also, I cant judge how hard this is for Shannon, because I don’t know when David cheated, how long it lasted or even if it was his 1st time. For all we know he’s been doing this for years. He should just leave if he wants out. And which came 1st? David cheating or Shannon being bitchy? I got a cheating vibe from the 1st time David was on the show.
ITA that Heather is a pot stirrer. Notice that she made a point of asking David and Shannon about them driving past everyone AFTER everyone had already gotten on the bus. She wanted to make it an issue even though no one gave a damn anymore.
And yes she was AWFUL last season with the non-stop mantra “She YELLED at me” “You don’t get to yell at me again” garbage. Don’t get me started on the “Maybe Shannon needs an ambulance” crap. Heather and Terry really had a bug up their asses about the Beadors. It made it very easy for me to believe Terry said “We want to take the Beadors down” There’s bad blood there for some reason.
RE: David cheating
I think Shannon at least had suspicions last season. She was very uncomfortable when Vicki and Tamra said at the reunion that David is a flirt I suspect that even if David did not technically cheat until much later he was already emotionally cheating with this other woman. I bet he had this woman in the back of his mind when he wrote Shannon the email that crushed her.
I wouldn’t put it past Heather at all. Youre probably right on. I think Heather is a wicked grudge holder. Its right up her alley to be sly and get even with someone ,without getting her hands dirty. Heather is tough and unemotional, so she has no need or care for an emotional sesnsitive person like Shannon. Heather doesnt respect someone like that. I know because I’m like Shannon ,minus the money and extreme neurosis.
I am so over the vulgarity, from the wine funnel, to the toilet paper, ugh really? And then they insist on being called classy. I cringed when Shannon removed the toilet paper, how just telling her and let her remove it. Gross
Tamra loves to show her whorish ways. OK we get it you do anal and suck dick! Is that advertising or what? Not a prude but I am sick of the whole any attention is better than no attention schtick.
I am thinking things are boring in the bedroom if she has to go on about sex constantly.
I agree completely. Hell she never even cleaned up after the toilet paper debacle……..gross.
Normally, I love Heather and Terry, but a fake cake for a fake champagne….I just can’t.
With her love of “champs”, why not partner up with an actual French vineyard in the Champagne region? They love France and the Collette name would certainly be appropriate.
I think that even Teresa’s swill was imported
I did enjoy not having to see the “Hallmark Whisperer” last night.
LMAO @ “Hallmark Whisper”. That is exactly what turns me off about him.
Megan is on the show strictly for the Shannon redemption arc lol
*yawn* these girls bore me at this point. SN: is there a RHOA season 8 update?? Allegedly Claudia has gotten the boot. Also, last night was Porsha’s b’day and Nene and Phaedra were there (instagram) with Kandi sending a special shoutout since she couldn’t make it…. Maybe Porsha won’t be peachless next season afterall?
I think no one wants a repeat of last season’s negativity. It was exhausting for us and after the season aired, I don’t think any of them want a repeat either. Maybe Tamra was warned?????
“Meghan is not just a cunt satchel, she’s cunt checked luggage and a cunt trunk.” This line had me laughing, and why I keep reading your blog. You do have a way with words.
Me, too. Made me laugh out loud and snort. I love it. Happy, Happy on your special day!
Happy Birthday TT
It seems to me that Tamra begins each season since Simon, when her story was always wanting to be the hottest housewife, as a story line about some kind of renewal. We have had her getting fit and getting natural looking boobs. We had her working on controling her temper, fail. Now it is getting religious and bigger boobs, again. I predict a fail on the sincerity of practicing a true religion. Tamra likes the sin in sincere too much.
Meghan is too much me, me, me.
Heather and Terry never fail to find crass ways to flaunt their wealth. What they have should speak for itself. She then goes on other shows to defend herself. Her defense is always a weak lie. No, we haven’t asked her the cost of anything. I enjoy seeing fab houses and planes, but Heather is acting too “new money”. Next, she’ll be leaving on price tags, like on Minnie Pearl’s hat. And, Heather, we already know you try to have control over every detail. Telling us you let your hosts, who own a winery, control the details of their party in their own home, just showed again what a transparent brat you are. I am certain the Bello’s entertain much more than you. They know what is appropriate and successful.
Shannon, that is how to loose a husband!
Finally someone else noticed that Heather is just awful, last season times 5. The always “on” phony, plastic look at me attitude. Ugh. If anyone is unwatchable, I have to say it is her. And when she and Tamra do a scene together, I throw up in my mouth a little. Watched one episode for. 20 minutes. I’m done for the season.
I know this isn’t appropriate, especially due to the circumstances – David is hot! I don’t want to marry him, I would just like for him to tie me …there is no need to go further.
The End
P.S. Meggie is a cunt
I can’t decide who is the one making me puke? Is it Heather along with Terry’s poor acting or is it Meghan?
I thought I used to like Heather….until last season anyway. This season she is already worse than last season. I hope she is gone after this season and has to figure out somewhere else to go on and on and on about the perfect house she is building.
Megan is detestable. Heather has become more pompous and obnoxious than ever…unbearable. I understand Shannon is recovering from the infidelity but she was a little overboard with David having sake with the guys. I’m glad she walked out on Megan.
Does anyone see the slightest chemistry btwn Terry and Heather? I tend to think their sexy time consists of Heather closing her eyes and thinking of her expensive cabinets.
I think Terry is just a machine at this point. All day long he has to replace a nipple or realign a vagina because he has to pay for that expensive house. Every $20 screw that goes into each of those cabinets are screwing Terry in a way.
I’m a fairly zen person but Shannon’s insecurities are so strong they are becoming my insecurities. I don’t need bad juju. Shannon and David don’t belong together. Their relationship is so difficult to watch. I give them both bonus points for trying but I just don’t see it lasting. A part of me wants them to make it but I know the daily toll it is taking on them and then multiply that by their 3 girls. It’s very sad to watch.
Happy Birthday, Tamara! Hope you have a bottle of really good champers (Sorry, I couldn’t resist 🙂 )
I know everyone here seems to hate Heather, but I still like her. I think production is telling her to discuss the expenses of her new home construction. She hasn’t been so forthcoming with that sort information in the past.
Out of all the OC women, Heather is the one with whom I would enjoy getting drunk. She is a FUN and happy drunk – she doesn’t go to crazy town, or get loud or vulgar like some of the others.
@cawoman23-
I like Heather, too.
If I were building her house, I would be excited and wanting to talk about it, too. And production is definitely playing a part in that.
She is fun, sincere, and has a good head on her shoulders.
I do agree that she can be kind of annoying at times (kinda snooty, maybe somewhat judgemental), but they all can.
And I really think it’s too early for myself to make a strong opinion about Meghan. My first impressions were not great. But she did hand paint a champagne glass for each of them (I thought that was a really was a nice gesture). And I think she will try hard to mesh. I think I need to give her a teeny tiny break until I know her better. And she may very well turn out the bitch that many of you think she is. But I just need a little more time to get a true feel. However, her husband is a dick. I need no more time to make a decision about him. It was obvious.
I have my biggest issues with Shannon and Tamara.
Tamara… Attention whore.
Shannon… Broken angry bird who needs to be handling her family issues privately. This shit is forever. What is she thinking exposing her kids and the world to their very ugly marriage problems? It’s so personal, and I can’t even watch them together. I get super uncomfortable.
Hahaha! Ooops… Tamra, not Tamara. But you already knew that.
âHAH! should have read down. I make that error in recaps all the time. I am used to typing my own name it’s reflexive.

Haha. Loved the “religious” Tamra quotes. She needs to go into business writing bumper stickers. “I’m saved, so if you don’t like it, suck it!”
“Jesus Jugs–the sequel”. ” I suck at being a Christian so you don’t have to”. “Boobs for Jesus”. “”Instant Christian”
As crazy as Shannon seems to be, I’ve been that spouse who “knew” something was off in the marriage, despite being called crazy (literally) time and time again. It does do a number on one’s self esteem and equilibrium. As bad as it is that it is being aired my guess is I am not the only one who can kind of relate. Yes, the marriage is over —was over a while ago but they will go through the therapy dance/David shaming because she finally feels validated. While it looked like she had the “upper hand” last season, David was inducing what seemed to be emotional torture to Shannon. It is an age old story.
After last season, I was done with Tamra Judge & the OC. I’ve watched all of the HW shows from the beginning but she just pushed me too far. Well, I’m trying to give OC another chance but I don’t know if I can do it. Meghan is awful but Tamra slays me. She’s just the worst. Literally.
I’m a lurker but TT, you’re simply amazing! On bed rest and you are my saving grace!!!! The best blog BY FAR..(sorry if that was too “ass kissy”) 🙂
Every time Heather and her husband come on i just cringe.. i cannot stomach this woman.. between Tamra and her UGH.. i’ve come to the conclusion that this is one of the worst Housewives show… the chemistry is so strange… this season… can’t get it.. but Heather is the most OBNOXIOUS woman on this planet.. and yeah.,. i didn’t hear anyone on the show tell her her wine was good.. LOL!!
Happy Birthday Tamara!
I want to thank Bravo for giving me an hour back as this is the year I bail on these annoying, pathetic, uninteresting, obnoxious, fake-ass, losers which prove even though you have money, it doesn’t equate to class. All of their voices (the worst is Tamara) is like listening to nails scraped on chalkboard. The only semi-tolerable cast member is Terry and I prefer to watch him on Botched where he’s a better match with Paul than his wife.
Thats funny about Terry being a better match with Paul than his wife and I agree! I notice that both Heather and Adrienne*Paul’s ex*, treated their spouses like they are allways in the dog house or in danger of being in the dog house. The poor guys could never relax. They also liked to make fun of their husbands looks. The only difference I see , is Heather appears to be fairly happy and content with her married life, and Adrienne was allways lusting after a hot young guy I think.
I had to google: “Meghan is the worst housewife ever RHOC” and I was shocked that nothing came up. Looks like I should have just searched under TT’s random thoughts 6, 7, 8 and 9 to sum it up. Meghan is horrid. I wish Heather and Tamra would stop sucking up to her (although she definitely belongs in their mean girl club, her immaturity and idiocy has got to be too much even for them). Jim E seems like a dufus, but even he seems to already recognize that he married an evil, vapid creature. And, why so much praise for Meghan “raising” her 17-year old stepdaughter? How long has she known her, one year maybe?
Yuck, she’s like everything I can’t stand about Heather, Theresa (NJ), and a bunch of others all rolled into one (with positives yet to be found).
I found her and turns out Jim is not her first marriage. She married a lawyer, last name mcdill, right out of college. It lasted 4 years and they split proceeds on a $250,000 house. That was 2011. She got with current hubby in 2013 while he was still legally tied to wife #2! I’m sure while he’s alone in St. Louis ‘ll find wife #4 and she’ll get the california house in the settlement.
She just needs to go lay back down by her dish like the bitch she is! I’m sure we’ll find her picture next to the definition of cunt in a dictionary somewhere….i.e.–“can’t understand normal thinking”.
