I am so pissed at my stupid dog for going rogue and trying to get me killed for chasing his dumbass around the hood after midnigt, I may as well recap this shit. I am in a foul mood and will not be kind. I’m already annoyed with this show and it hasn’t even started.
Apparently Ramona and Tamra are the guest. That should say it all. I hate this shit already. I’m going to make this quick.
Winners:
Bethnenny for best comeback.
Yolanda for Miss Congeniality.
Really I am recapping this mess who the fuck cares? This sinks my pathetic life to a new low.
Biggest Reunion Shocker goes to Teresa Giudice and this is kind of important because Andy say he will be emailing her when he gets home tonight which means she has him on her email list IN FUCKING PRISON which doesn’t seem to phase him at all. Then again she pushed him down into to his season one season and he didn’t care about that. Clearly, the more violence and felonious behavior the better.
Andy asks Ramona’s opinion on a bunch of questions about RHOOC. I don’t care.
Stupid bonding moment between Ramona and Tamra. They don’t get they are the morons of their respective franchises.
This shit is ridiculous. And gives the realest reconciliation to Tamra and Vicki.
Ramona is asked if she was shocked about Ashley Madison regarding the Josh and Kristen thing. She basically says shit happens.
HERE IS THE BIG NEWS! Tamra says Brooks dumped Vicki but she doesn’t think it will stick. Interesting. I am thankful for a reason to put up with this stupid episode. I want them back together, Vicki is really heart broken. From my perspective, Brooks has been mocked and disbelieved while going through cancer, then he went on a trip to Miami with Vicki’s family who probably hated him. I think perhaps he has enough on his plate without having to constantly redeem himself. Even if every bad thing that people say he has ever done is true. He has cancer. And if being around Vicki makes that harder for him to deal with, I totally understand isolating. I know Brooks is a bit of a media whore, but seriously, no one deserves this shit while fighting a major illness, and if he really didn’t have it Tamra would not be saying they will get back together.
Plus I love Brooks.
Andy asks Ramona about Heather not returning. She basically says that Heather never really had a great storyline and she had nothing to talk to her about. #SHADE
Tamra says that Ryan had a job on RHOC and she just paid for him to get settled. Um what job does Ryan have exactly? I have a Masters and I can’t afford to live in Orange County. Oh wait I get it, he has Bravo money now. #eyeroll.
Best Quote Winner is Luann with the don’t be all uncool shit. Only because ANDY promoted the hell out of it.
I’m so irritated by this whole show.
A caller asks who would you never want to see come back and Ramona blurts out Jiil Zarin before the question is out of his ive mouth. I almost want her back now. I loved Jill. She is the ONLY housewife I ever met in real life. That was my very first post on this site. I will always love JZ a bit for that..
I don’t give a fuck about the other awards. Ramona got the lifetime achievement award.
Poll Question: Whose side are you on Vicki and Brooks or everyone else? People suck.
I’m on Vicki and Brooks’ side. TT, aww don’t be mad at Banjo – you know sometimes a guy’s gotta get out and run amok!! Seriously, glad you’re home safe.
Doesn’t neutering curb that behaviour? I guess we could ask Shannon’s husband.
Micheal, LMAO — great comment!
Great comment, Michael; it may be the comment of the year and is certainly the comment of the month. It appeared so effortless for you. smile
I am appalled that Meghan and others (including many commenters on OTHER sites) are accusing Brooks of lying about his cancer. How dare they. They have no proof and have intruded into his personal life and invaded his privacy on too many occasions to count. Cancer is not a subject to banter about or gossip about or use to amuse yourself when your day is dull. I am completely turned off that Bravo has allowed this to be a story-line. Tamra is one of the first offenders in the accusations and hints that Brooks is lying and none of those women are Vicki’s friends. She may be hard to deal with at times but she is not running around accusing people of faking diseases. Since I have a child with the exact same form of cancer that Brooks has I am particularly offended by what has transpired. He’s and and off of chemo, has tried alternative therapies (which most cancer treatment centers advocate) and suffered greatly. He finally had a massive heart attack recently and will not live too long as a result of his damaged heart (not helped by chemo, I might add). If someone told me that they disbelieved that he had the disease I would not be resposnible for my actions.
Oh my God, I am so so sorry. That is heartbreaking. I have no words….just sending love, prayer and support.
Some peoplw think Vicki faked the phonecall scene, some think Brooks is faking everything.
I disagree, but I have been wrong before. It (a HUGE ‘if’), both of those are faked or exaggerated then I would be totally done with RHOC. Still, I don’t think they are fake, so I feel for Vicki and Brooks.
No way that phone call was faked! Keeping mum on the other because all I have is questions like: Brooks has cancer and has been dragged through the mud this season and he is the “love of Vicki’s life”, why hasn’t she quit the show? I would have.
I’m on the fence with Brooks-I’m in AA and I’ve heard some whoppers from people over the years so it wouldn’t surprise me.
Re’ Vicki-no way, that was real and gut wrenching.
My sweet Mom died four years ago…Vicki’s phone call literally broke me and I could not stop sobbing. Felt all too real to me ?
I never understood why Vicky keeps taking Tamra back as a friend. Tamra is always stabbing Vicky in the back. If I were Brooks, I would break up with Vicky too. Way too much work there. I couldn’t stand him before, but I am beginning to like him now. I thought the way he tried to speak reasonably to Meghan was sweet, though doomed to fail, because she is crazy. WWHL is pretty much done for me. I think I will take it off my DVR save list. Real waste of time. Those awards were stupid. Thanks for the recap, TT.
I do not understand at all why Vicki has Tamra as a friend either. I never understood it after the second season. I get being friendly on the show but Tamra is such a bitch to Vicki.
Meghan is insane, but Tamra is pushing her buttons to go after Vicky. It’s so toxic.
Vicki and Brooks, without a doubt. I used to hate Brooks until this season. I don’t know. He just became likeable and seemed so right for Vicki.. I hope the breakup doesn’t stick. I wish Vicki was not such good friends with Tamra.
I totally agree!!!!
I don’t know why Vicki keeps taking Tamra back. She’s a rotten friend!
And, Brianna didn’t want anyone talking about what a douchebag her husband is so why is she such a bitch when it comes to Brooks. Brianna’s husband is not a nice person with some serious anger issues. She should concentrate on her own husband.
Its a challenge to communicate well or clearly while going thru treatment. Being portrayed as a liar in the middle of a cancer protocol would be the last straw.
I don’t think Brooks is an angel. But he’s innocent until he’s guilty and it’s not Meghans role to prove him guilty. She picked the wrong storyline to adopt. Focus on your step daughter and husband and call it a day girlie.
I’m certain now Vicki is much more work than Brooks. I’m for whatever makes them both happy, but agree he shouldn’t put up with constant humiliation on national TV for 3 years because no one else can think of a storyline. It’s so played out, I’m dreading RHOBH where they appear to torture Yolanda in the very same way.
Tamra is hard if not impossible to watch and employs her son to embarrass the mother of his newborn. Ugh. Can’t we see any genuine happiness or caring before the divorce drama begins? These storylines seem so forced, contrived and unnecessarily cruel to children, cancer patients and new mothers, not to mention former fans.
Oh yes. Agreed. I think this whole thing has drained him more than his cancer. I find it exhausting and I am just watching it. I just cannot believe that this was a story line and I just can’t even stand these women anymore. I have to say Jim’s attitude during this “hunt for justice” Meghan is on has actually made me like him a little. If they turn the Yolanda thing into the same thing on BH I will be done. I can’t watch another season of this with someone else. I am really missing NY. Thank goodness for MDL and the Tardy Party . The HW are all starting to annoy.
I’ve always liked Brooks, if Vicki and Brooks are really good for each then, I hope they work it out. Vicki needs to cut out the haters, family or not.
I do believe that Tamra just had Meghan do all of her dirty work this year. If she truly meant that she would “support Vicki” as she keeps harping at every opportunity, she would shut down the gossip as soon as it is talked about. I’ve done it before for my friends, but then again, I AM a friend to those I call friends.
I was one of the few who liked Jill. She misplayed the Bethany situation but I never saw a reason for all the hate she received/receives.
I was on Jill’s side of the fight. You make the effort to call your friend and her husband who has cancer after surgery.
What type of words were going through your head while trying to herd Banjo…that scenario totally sucks.
So sorry to hear about Banjo making you run all over trying to coral him back. I hope you are OK. I would have fallen flat on my face, stubbed a toe something. Hard to sound nice when your mad at them.
you’re
I feel for you TT. There is nothing worse that being out searching for a lost pet, especially at night. It’s stress to the nuclear maximum. So glad you found him and made it back safely. Your comments about it all are hysterical, however.
Let’s say Brooks really is the biggest opportunist ever. So what? He makes Vicki happy. She’s got enough money to take care of both of them. I’ve had many an opportunist in my llfe, but none of them went to near the trouble that Brooks has for Vicki or any trouble at all for that matter. She’s so fucking controlling. He probably just had enough of her and her monkey circus. I am surprised to hear he’s the one that broke up with her though.
What the Hell was Tamra wearing? She has an unhealthy need to dress like a trollop at all times. I can’t wait ’till she’s really old which is not too long from now. The desperation is real!
I can’t imagine what Ryan’s wife sees in him. I wish he would shave off that frightening beard. It makes him look like a crazed Dueling Banjos lunatic.
I just hunted down your Jill Zarin blog..sounds like a fun time. And I LOL’d at the comment from Jill Zarin years later.
Thanks for the heads up on that JustJenn?
This was a hilarious recap Tamara..lolol
Next year Tamra and Vicki will win for most devastating relationship ending. Those two are friends of convenience who are really friends mostly because they each know so much dirt about the other one.
Tamra should demand a refund on the new boobs. They are almost a uniboob with visible implants.
Just saw the intro… Omg- so gross, plastic, fake, and stretched. Cover that shit up?
Totally agree! Tamra’s cleavage was so bizarre.
Speaking of ” this sinks my pathetic life to a new low,” this could be the group tagline for RHOC and maybe even WWHL. To offer small consolation to Tamara, at least theoretically, I am closer to death than you, being more than a decade older and having to stick on several spare parts before leaving the house. Three cats, whose sole mission is to destroy the entire household and me barely having a pot to piss in are added , hopefully cheering notes. You, on the other hand, give and give and give your readers indescribable happiness. How to even begin to thank you!!? And Brooks plus Vicki deserve some real friends whether they’re together or apart.
Tamara I love Jill Zarin too! I never have understood how Ramona stayed and Jill didn’t.
My guilty little pleasure, the Real Housewife’s franchise and WWHL, has become a GD chore to watch. I couldn’t agree more with you today TT. Except I hate everyone. I wouldn’t be surprised if Brookes’ and Vicki’s bre*ak up was fake (AGAIN) and this would keep him off of the reunion show, which would save all of us hours of having to listen to the cancer controversy over and over again. AMEN. I’m even getting sick of Andy Cohen and he’s so damn cute, I can’t believe I am admitting he is getting on my nerves just like the rest of them. What the hell happened to this sh*t. I don’t even remember what made all these shows so fun to watch, it’s been that long. WTH? Somebody remind me. I feel better now, thanks.
I think you may be on the right track with your suspicion about the breakup. Did you notice the smirk on Tamra’s face when Andy asked her if she thought the split was permanent?
Yes, I certainly did notice.
I was never really a fan of his, but I started to like Brooks this season. Because everyone was doubting him having cancer I softened my opinion about him. No one should ever have to endure attitudes and distrust like he has and he’s done it on national tv. I’m team Vicki and Brooks on this one, too.
I LOL at Ramona being so happy she won some RH awards – I think she’s flattered and thinks they’re meaningful.
When Ramona said, “well people make mistakes”, about Kristen’s husband Josh, did you see Tamra’s reaction? It was like, a mistake you say? Cheating on your spouse is more than a ‘mistake’! LOL
About 10 years ago my husband became vey sick. It was life changing for us. When he was no longer able to work he had to go on to disability. We chose to let people know that he was ill but asked that they respect our privacy as he fights this. Only immediate family knows the full deal. Quite honestly we did not want to give power to this by claiming it and feel by more positive thinking there is a better chance of beating it, then constantly discussing it. A lot of family and friends thought he was just being lazy and didn’t want to work that nothing was wrong. It wasn’t until he ended up in the hospital about a year later for almost a month and about died that they had to eat their words. You learn who your true friends are. I feel for. Brooks in this respect. He not only has to deal with his illness and all that goes along with that but people in vicki’s circle doubting him. Then you have her ungrateful daughter and son in law giving him a hard time. It’s to much for any man to take. Now he has had to walk away from the woman he loves and supported him because it’s to much stress on his life.
I think Andy loves, just loves that he emails someone in Prison-I swear I can hear him talking about it with Kelly Ripa and Sarah Jessica while they’re sailing on a rented yacht in St. Tropez.
Most state prisons use Jpay and you can send an “email” for some amount of money per page, I think about a dollar per page. It’s like writing but more convenient and costs more. The prison prints the emaild and gives it to inmates. Wouldn’t be surprised if federal prisons do this too.
Hey, maybe you could set up a Jpay account and email Theresa too!!!
Agreed about the only thing “good” to come out of that show was Tamara stating that Brooks had been the one to end it. My heart breaks for those two, seriously. Plus I was ticked off that Cohen is feeding into this crap by making this his poll question about the cancer. He is the biggest phony on the earth. What is that saying? Those who feel that have to always stir the pot should also be prepared to lick the spoon. (something like that) The only time he seems to have a good time or be comfortable on his own show is when he is down in the trenches with his fellow pot stirring friends. For a few minutes there at the beginning of the show I couldn’t tell Ramona and Tamara apart. I hope Vicki and Brooks find their way back to one another (he was such a gentleman to Meghan when speaking to her privately with Jim). And get away from that crazy cesspool of people as fast as they can.
Vicki and Brooks. Would love to see Jill Zarin return. I don’t watch RHONJ but saw a commercial for Teresa checks in with the kids crying around speaker phone. ..Andy stoops lower and lower with exploitation.
Caption? Ramona “My ass hasn’t felt this good since before I fell down in the Turks and Cuolos I lost a hooker shoe. You’ll never believe where it rear appeared.” Stage cue Andy holding it, on a pillow, like a relic.
I want them to do RHONY original cast, soooo bad. Jill Zarin is cray cray. I know I could only handle it for one 15 episode season, but it would be amazing!
Andy chose the 2 women guilty of spreading the most lies to be on this show. After Ramona’s diva
actions and Tamra’s vile fake love scenes, WHY DO THEY DESERVE IT? Seeing them gloat just
finally rang a bell for me. It is fake, scripted, intentionally immoral AND I AM THROUGH WITH ALL
OF THEM.
People do suck. I can’t go to other sites with some Meghan support. I ventured out a few days ago to read one blogger write, “Meghan has quickly become a fan favorite.” Huh? If true, that is horrifying. Please assure me this is not true. All of my friends who guilty pleasure watch HW think she is evil and has something very wrong going on in her brain.
Not much lower than what they are doing to Brooks.
My opinion is she is an opportunist who will do anything to be relevant to stay on this show. When
V ICKI told her the conversation was over, before Vicki finished the sentence Meghan said “It’s just
beginning’. NOBODY is that evil unless it is either scripted or she’s been told to take Vicki down.
Either way, Vicki doesn’t deserve this (Brooks might, if he’s faking) and I, for one, will watch nothing
with the immature mean girl in the future.
This week’s RHWOC would be a good time for Tamra to reach out to her preacher. There was not a single Christian thing about her behavior which leads me to believe that her “salvation” is another scheme for air time. Does she know that God doesn’t play?
She remains trailer park Tammy in spades. Sex scenes that cause her oldest daughter to move to her judgy father’s house. That alone should have rocked her world, and it did but only because she KNOWS it shows her to be an incompetent mother. Ryan was bad for her 2nd marriage and appears to be a problem for Eddie, too. One show she wants to use Vicki’s house for a wedding and on the next she admits the relationship is bad by asking Ryan to begin counseling. It doesn’t sound like a good “Glamma” to me. But, little Ava is just another opportunity for Tamra to talk about Tamra.
And, the biggest stupidity of all was when she was talking about how her mother needs to dress her age. Say what??? Pot meet kettle. She dresses like a slut on each show and on each WWHL. Evil Meghan is her proxy and really, really immature which is the kindest thing I can say about her. Jim, wake up. It’s better to be thrice divorced than to live with a monster. I guess I should have posted this under the HW recap but too late now. I just really don’t like Tamra or her mouthpiece, Meghan.
The cancer storyline is the lowest that housewives have sunk. I am glad Vicki has not let that mean girl Meghan run her off HER show
I’d like facts of Meghan and Jim’s courtship and marriage snooped into. I think he can barely tolerate her. His little digs at her are so deserved. When they arrived at Shannon’s party and she was waving at the crowd at opposite end of the pool expecting a big acknowledgement, Jim says you are waving at nobody. I think she was playing to the camera and he did not care for it.
I hope they are not back on next season.
20/20 did a good hatchet job on Brooks and when he threatened to sue they retracted most of the story. This woman who they interviewed lied. A lot. Of course the story was national and the retraction was on their website and never aired. I am sure he had child support payment issues but that doesnt make him a con or evil.
Tamra Sue is behind all the hatred. She whispered in Briana’s ear who got Ryan to do the taping while Brooks was drunk. Now Tamra is using Meghans stupidity as a pawn to attack Brooks. Is Tamara listed in Vicki’s will? Seriously, what is wrong with her?
