Okay so around 2 pm today Tamaratattles.com went dead for about an hour. It was horrifying. This is something that never happens when you stay in the shallow end of the pool. That was tens of thousands of views that never happened and I already need to get my numbers up to keep my head above water in the deep end of the pool so be sure to check out some other posts.
That said, I am so over the Brooks bashing storyline. BTW he finally commented on the drama here. I’d love to just move on to Ladies of London but here we go.
Shannon
Shannon and David go on a date. Shannon can’t eat anything good anymore. Shannon is trying to justify dumping Vicki. Or Vicki is dumping Shannon, I don’t know.
Tamra
Tamra still thinks that if she gets baptized it should be an event. I was baptized in the Mediterranean Sea. My church members were there. It was not a party. Then again, I was like seven and I mostly did it because my friend Marvellla wanted me to. I loved Marvella and her mother used to let me sleep over and would let me go to Brownies without wearing a slip under my uniform. She claimed that slips were archaic. My mother was at least 10 years older than Marvellas mom. I think Marvella has a big time jewelry line now. Though I am not 100% sure that is my Marvella.
Anyway, her pastor says it will be “really cool” if she gets baptized. Tamra admits she is not smart enough to read the Bible. Specifically “thou shalt not” confuses her. Kidding not. Now she is confused that her son is a fuck up.
Tamra is helping her grown man move into the house. Apparently they are both unemployed. And on the verge of divorce. Who saw that coming? Again, fast forwarding.
Vicki
Vicki and Brooks go to see …. a doctor? A Club Detox person? I don’t know who he is? This guy is a Club Detox person. The dude who doesn’t seem to be a doctor has his medical records which are shown. It’s some whackadoodle therapy. I’m all for trying anything when you have a fatal illness, and I’ve supported Brooks all along, but this guy and that paperwork is not impressing me.
Vicki and Brooks brings Tamra over to show her his latest PET Scan. This shows that Brooks has three tumors in his abdomen. Wait, what? Is this not a blood disease? IDGI. Vicki shows the dumbest person in the world his results. Tamra is confused and so am I. I still would not tell people my friend’s husband didn’t have cancer if he said he did.
Heather
I’m so over Heather’s magical creams. Do I have to recap this? The whole point is Terry can’t deal with online live sales.
Later it’s the live show. Meghan is having a viewing party for Heather’s live show hawking her product. The idiots call in for the show.
Meghan
Sorry, fast forwarded through the whole thing.
So the cunt satchels get together to discuss masses in his pancreas, and Meghan says that they have stopped doing PET scans in 2008. Because she Nancy Drewed the doctor that does the scans. The cunts say that he picked Tamra because she is an idiot. That does make sense. But the whole scene with Brooks, Vicki and Tamra seemed staged. I think we are all being fed a bunch of shit. Meghan said his report is forged. Tamra says she feels like Vicki and Brooks are setting her up because she is dumber than dirt.
In other news, I am fading fast. I think I would do a better job of recappin Ladies of London in the morning. Thanks for bearing with me. Aunt Flo keeps playing ding, dong , ditch with me and I am a bit under the weather.
NEXT WEEK: Tamra gets baptized. And more drama unfolds.
I’m starting to feel like production gave Brookes the cancer storyline and behind his back, gave the nancy drew storyline to Meghan. If that is the case, I’m disappointed in EVERYONE!
I was all for Brookes, now I’m just so sick of the storyline either way.
I can’t with these chicks today….thanks for the recap. I am going to skip the show.
After an entire season of horrible storylines capped off with harping on Brooks medical condition, Shannon pipes up, “well they say at church, let Jesus be the judge”. No, apparently Tamra Judge and her psychic are. If they’d only remembered their made-for-tv piety months ago, they’d have spared us this hypocracy. I can barely watch without feeling complicit in what is the worst kind of bullying and self-importance while they berate everyone in sight. Misery certainly loves company in the OC.
There’s no respite next week. Previews induce dry heaves asTamra gets spackled for her baptism (I’d stand far away for fear of lightning strikes), Tamra inciting Brianna to murder over Brooks “lies”, and more Shannon sobbing because David would talk to anyone rather than her. Jeez, one must drink heavily before the show to endure it. Your fast forwards completely understandable. Urp…
technically, I think it’s Terry’s Magical Cream. Heather just helps make it. *rimshot*
It’d be a better joke if I cared about this terrible, horrible, no good, very bad season.
New York ended for this shit? Next we have Atlanta…. maybe I should just hibernate until Beverly Hills comes back.
That’s the problem with overlapping the franchises – a strong season of one only highlights a weak season of another.
I’m already not caring about Atlanta and, seriously, I’m not going to watch or contribute to any NJ franchise that features Bravo’s First Family of Felons.
@Xana-I rarely if ever have an ethical quandary. So, I say I will not contribute in any way to NJ if it showcases the Felon Family. However, I love so many other “bent” personalities on there. What is a girl to do? I wish the network would make a proper decision in that regard. Wish, I said.
I so agree with Xanadude…I am sick and tired of seeing people rewarded for felonious behavior. The world has gone mad.
Count me out, too. I refuse to watch the “Felony Hour” that Bravo has coming up with the Guidices. I’m already sick of them acting like this “happened” to them and they didn’t do anything wrong. If you can’t do the time….
yep, not watching either. Don’t care enough about them and sick of the screaming and fighting . Def not interested in Teresa and helping her pay back her debt. Ugh. NJ out, and OC if quickly be coming the next to go.
This season is painful. It’s sooo boring. The only positive thing I can say is I liked the t-shirt Tamara had on referencing “Bye Felicia.” It was funny.
I can’t understand why they care if he has cancer or not.
Believe me, they don’t actually care one iota if he has cancer.
I don’t understand Meghan’s accusation that doctors stopped doing PET scans in 2008. A close family member was diagnosed with lymphoma last year and her doctor did several PET scans to confirm the presence/absence of cancer.
Also, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma is cancer of the lymphatic system that can spread to other organs. It’s highly likely that Brooks could have masses in his abdomen as a manifestation of his illness.
I unfortunately learned more than I ever wanted to know about lymphoma last year. Meghan needs to either educate herself or shut up. Or, preferably, both.
They do PET scans here in Canada. My friend was having them a year and a half ago.
No they were saying that that office doesn’t do them anymore. The office would have to send you somewhere else to get the scan.
Meghan needs to get a life,She is a disgusting !!!!! I feel horrible for her husband!!!
Tamara just had to say something about rude about Terry looking orange from a spray tan or from his products!?! What a bitch, all the time, always. Have no idea how anyone can stand her, her ex Simon is the smartest and her daughter who asked a judge to keep her away. That says it all. She does this church stuff to feel better bc ninety nine percent of her sucks.
IAH: I can not, for the life of me, understand how she got not just one, not two, BUT THREE MEN to marry her.how is that possible?!
Boob jobs and bath tubs?
Did you catch Terry’s reply to the nice tan it looks natural remark, “It’s real, just like this stuff.”
I can’t stand Tamra, but as much as I hate her, Simon is NOT “the smartest”. He’s every bit as terrible of a person as she is.
I flipped over to Bravo for maybe 2 minutes total. Tamra and the preacher discuss her baptism. Does she get that being baptised is about a personal salvation and cannot and is not about saving her creepy son? I don’t think she does so it makes me doubt the whole “I am saved” storyline she has going. Then I see the women ganging up on Brooks about the does he or doesn’t he have cancer again; I can hardly believe it is anything with an iota of kindness or goodwill. Shannon’s point is she is offended that Vicki confided in Tamra instead of her. My empathy for David grows with each minute of TV time that Shannon has. I am almost grateful that he had an affair and a few hours of happiness. Does Tamra/Tammy realize she called herself dumb and all of her “friends” agreed? Come on, Andy; you and Bravo are better than this storyline this year.Then it’s Heather and she gets to talk about her favorite subject, herself. I’ll come back tomorrow and see what you west coasters think. I think I would prefer to watch a test pattern than RHOC.
Sorry about your server problems, TT. I’ve been here 3 times today. I hope that is helpful.
I just watched. I think all the Brooks shit is a storyline. I really do. It’s a crazy storyline, but it just can’t be real. The dude has masses in his abdomen for Christ sake, no one would doubt the cancer diagnosis. Not even Tamra. So that storyline is a new low. For all of them, including Vicki and Brooks.
I thought it was funny when Tammy Sue called the show… Cinnamon. Good one, I am going to remember that.
I also want to order Heather and Terry’s skin cream and I am going to see if I can find it. Sorry, but he knows his shit and I am always game for good skin care.
Awww. It’s sweet of you trying to contribute to more solid gold door knobs for McMansion. I wouldn’t put that crap on my face if it were made of solid gold too. Those people will sell colored dog doo for a buck.
I’d be wary. He’s a plastic surgeon and a Bravolebrity, NOT a dermatologist.
I’m curious what everyone thought about Vicki’s body language and stone cold facial expression when Brooks was showing Tamra the PET Scan results? Was she disgusted that Brooks was having to prove his illness or was she disgusted that she was being caught in a lie? I can’t tell what is going on anymore.
I’m ready for the reunion. I wonder how many times Vicki will walk off stage. I also have no clue why Vicki hasn’t told Bravo to fuck off by now. I would have if my husband or boyfriend had a terminal illness and the producers were editing the show to make people question that fact. She doesn’t need the money right?
She might not need the $$$, but Vicki’s hook could be the attention, to be a public personage or a star. Insert the canned applause and laughter!
To me, that whole scene was shady boots. It made ZERO sense.
If my boyfriend/husband had terminal cancer, I wouldn’t be bitching for his treatment to speed up so I can get to work. That was odd behavior.
When I was in chemo, my “helper” bitched all the time about everything…how long the treatment took, how many doctor appointments I had, etc.
She finally got to the point where she just dropped me off, and made me wait there for hours until she was ready to pick me up.
People often don’t realize what a long process it is. They volunteer to help, then get burned out and frustrated later. It happens.
The GREED is as real as the thirst.
I am so done with this season of RHOC. Why does this season seem sooo long???? I’d rather watch reruns of RHODC. How many more episodes do we have to endure??
OMG surprises on Watch What Happens Live tonight, Audrey and Clay from BB17 are bartending for Annabelle & Heather. Andy asked Clay if he and Shelli were still together. Clay did so much hemming and hawing about whether they still had a connection outside house, Andy cut him off saying sounds like maybe you don’t. Ouch.
Surprise #2, Andy announced that DWTS made Kim withdraw from the show due to her mini-strokes & hopes she gets well. I only checked into WWHL to see Annabelle who is the voice of reason on Ladies of London. She’s unafraid to stand up to Caroline Stansbury on the show, and defending the American Treasures again tonight. She’s my favorite this season.
I’m not sure how much more i can watch, because Heather starts to bash Brooks “mock-uments” and I really can’t stomach much more of her superiority. She’s said it will all come out at the Reunion they’re getting ready to film, TGI almost over.
Lol that Clay was bar tending on WWHL and hemming and hawing. The video montage of him mumbling to other house guests during Big Brother was so funny.
I enjoyed the part where Annabelle had little, if anything nice to say about Lisa VP. Have to admit, it made me a little giddy inside. It made Heather uncomfortable because she was dining at Villa Blanc this evening.
I loved that part. LVP gets away with so much manipulation and shade because of her accent and presence. Loved Annabelle subtly calling her out. She’s no worse than any of the other housewives, but she’s not the perfect goddess some like to pretend she is.
<<<>>>> if Heather was on WWHL, which is in New York, how could she be dining at Villa Blanca after the show????
Heather has two expressions…a dead smiley face and a dead frownie face. All done with her eyes since nothing else can move. I am so sick of these ladies and their fake story and their fake looks and their fake religion and their fake medical degrees.
From what I saw (not sure if others saw this as well) it said the masses are NOT consistent with his type of cancer, and I also thought that it was interesting that they had no comparison scans available per the paperwork. Oy. This season is just awful. It’s leaving me with nothing but icky feelings. Worst season ever.
Meghan, the queen of cancer didn’t know people get masses when they have lymphoma? Duh, Sherlock, that’s the whole point!
Two main points:
1) Simply put: non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma causes masses in the abdomen, chest, lungs, or elsewhere where there are lymph nodes. It’s a disease of the white blood cells, and these cells aggregate in the lymph nodes and if they’re cancerous, they just collect there and cause masses or tumors.
2) I think Meghan is a dumbass. When she called Newport Imaging, they probably told the idiot that they don’t do Pet scans for Non-hodgins lymphoma without a referral from Hoag, a hospital in Newport Beach. If you look up their website, it quite clearly says that they are operated through a partnership between the hospital and the Newport Harbor Radiology Associates. It seems to me she asked if they do the Pet scans for the cancer, and they told her something like no, she has to go to Hoag to get a referral, and she misunderstood them because she’s a moron. Shoot, I could be wrong, but that rarely happens 🙂
If I were the owners of Newport Imaging and Hoag, I would sue Meghan’s and Bravo’s ass.
Considering that they do all of the scans mentioned on the show….I would at least send her a cease and desist letter.
Hoag is a great hospital. My daughter saw an orthopedic surgeon there, and he was fantastic. I bet they aren’t happy with this sort of attention.
Thanks for that clarification iloveearlgrey. It’s all just so confusing to those of us who have never dealt with this and/or aren’t to the point of researching just for the whole brooks situation. I am glad to know that there is now a decent possibility that he is not lying about such an awful thing. This last episode had me really feeling the worst. Thanks again for the info.
Slow slow boring boring. This whole Brooks thing should have been wrapped up in an episode or two. Each time they act like there’s some big revelation, and then its much ado about nothing. Im losing patience. Vickies comment about confusion being Satan’s work sounded dumb. Pretty self serving comment.
This morning NASA confirmed there is water on Mars.
This evening Bravo confirmed there is no sign of intelligent life in Orange County.
Well said, Maisey.
Maisey, BOOM! I love your comment. Y’all are the ONLY reason I give one crap @ this show.
Hilarious comment, Maisey – thanks for the great laugh!! And thanks to TT for watching this crap. I can’t do it anymore, and I just read the recap and all of the witty observations.
hahahahaha Excellent, Maisey!
“They need to have a blonde version of The Bible”…. Tamra says this with two inches of black roots. Blaming a bad bleach job for your ignorance is really sad.
Tamra bleaches her brains every time she bleaches her hair.
I mean come on Tamra! We already saw the bible for dummies book in your suitcase earlier this season! How much more dumbed down does one really need?!?
Thanks for the recap, TT.
I fast forwarded almost all of it. Unfortunately, I did watch where that ‘doctor’ drew some of Brooks’ blood, supposedly mushed it up with oxygen then transfused it back into Brooks. Somehow this half cup or so of foamy blood (hopefully there are anticoagulants in that bag along with the oxygen) would radar in on his masses and shrink them? That was insane. Why couldn’t he just give Brooks 100% oxygen to breathe?
When does it all end?
Reunion: Vicky will be sitting on one couch and all the other idiots will be on the other couch either glowering at her or pitying her.
Lol had not thought if that, who will sit with Vickie on her couch? Actually I had thought I had read Shannon say the reunion had been filmed and it was mostly a Shannon vs Vicki shout down? I don’t know, these women go on over nothing so often I only half listen.
Don’t worry, you will have 10,000 reruns of the reunion to catch up on what happened, so you only have to watch it 10 seconds at a time before finding the remote.
For Vicki’s sake, I hope you are correct about the reunion. One of the commenters above stated that lymphoma is about lymph nodes attacked by cancer; those may be in the neck, leg, abdomen, under the arm and any other spot in the body where we have lymph nodes.
I think Brooks is a creepy partner in affairs of the heart and has spent his life moving from woman to woman to support him.That says as much about the women who choose to be with him as it does about Brooks, imo.
I have no idea why Bravo or Vicki and Brooks chose this as a storyline, but it appears to have hurt RHOC most of all.
Is mixing oxygen with the blood something like the blood doping that athletes do? I found it pretty odd.
Yes, yes it is – a similar process but I’m not sure if Brooks had a similar amount of blood manipulated to say, a Tour de France athlete. It’s not considered “doping” but it is pure manipulation by sporting standards.
I tried to find some info on the procedure afterward. They use O3, or Ozone. It looks like there needs to be a lot more research, but they did find that the treatment has some affect on hypoxic tumors–low oxygen. Not a cure, but I see the logic in why Brooks is doing this. The man is sick. Those women are evil.
If Brooks thinks that ozone therapy, otherwise known as blood doping, is gonna give him some relief, well God bless him. But it can strain your heart and it has no value as a cancer treatment. I feel badly for the guy.
Thanks for the recap. The show has become unbearable to watch. Your recap just confirmed why I stopped watching the screeching over bottled tanned hens ?????of the OC. Last time I watched I started drinking more dirty martinis than Dorinda. Matter of fact, I started sounding like her. Is it bad when you need martinis just to get through watching this show? Sorry…I got off topic. BTW, can someone punch ?? the giraffe (Meghan) for me?
Even when I’m stoned (medically) this show has become totally unwatchable. What happened to fabulous scenery, dining, trips, fashion, shopping and parties? I don’t care about anyone else’s medical choices (hell I’ve visited Shamans looking for relief) I am so tired of the Shannon & David affiar bs and Meghan should Google headbands!
I’m honestly not bashing, but I do question whether blood cancers generate tumors. I don’t know why he just doesn’t have his doctor speak publicly and verify the cancer and what type it is. I wouldn’t take much to clear it up.
If he has a reputable oncologist, there’s no way he/she is going to get involved in a shit reality show.
They call it a “blood cancer” because it’s a cancer of cells that are found in blood, like white blood cells. Yes, they generate tumors because those cells hang out in the lymph nodes looking for microorganisms to fight, and cancerous ones collect and form masses/tumors.
This episode was so odd. Someone please explain to me why Ryan and his fiance/gf/baby mama moved to a MORE expensive location where they had to borrow/take the funds to rent a house when she has lost her business and he is unemployed? If you have no income how the hell are you renting anything? Why would you move to a more expensive place? I guess the only reason I can come up with is they expect Tamra to foot the bill for them going forward. Awfully presumptuous. Says a lot about this woman that she would have a baby with a man who has no reliable job, no stability, no responsibility and still relies on his mommy for a living- not to mention one who calls off the wedding twice. ugh.
Whatever shannon is eating or not eating, it’s working for her because I think she looked great. She clearly got herself in a better place physically from where she was earlier this season, feeling frumpy and unhappy. Good for her.
I want to believe Brooks, and as I’ve said many times I believe you err on the side of caution and believe the supposed sick person, but that report was beyond sketchy. It was a jumble of run on sentences and weirdness, and I do deal in medical and am familiar with reports. It looked strange to me. It was also strange that they showed it to Tamra who wouldn’t know a medical report from a menu, and then planned to rely on her to convey it’s authenticity to the other ladies. Just a very strange approach if they were trying to shut down the doubts.
Ryan must be getting paid to be on RHOC. Otherwise, as you say, what’s the point?
Right, good point. Hope it’s enough to support all those kids lol
Tons of transcription work is outsourced to places like India. All it takes is a doctor dictating with an non English/ American accent and the reports can be a mess. Usually the Medical Records department tries to get all reports corrected before they are posted in a patient’s chart, but with electronic records that doesn’t always happen.
The physician examining Brooks said he felt masses in his abdomen. Non Hodgkins can be resistant to therapy. Why would anyone subject themselves to expensive alternative therapies if they weren’t ill? I don’t think insurance covers ozone therapy and I don’t think bravo or Vicki is picking up the tab. Shame on the rest of the housewives.
Promotional consideration? Just guessing ?.
I’m not sure that’s true. HIPAA laws would prevent doctors from outsourcing any medical information – especially overseas. There’s no way a doctor would be legally allowed to send medical records to be transcribed to people who are not clinicians in the office the patient is being treated in.
medical transcribing is one of the most outsourced things ever. Tons of people make money working at home transcribing medical records.
Jewelz, I am a nurse and have a degree in health information management. I know transcription is outsourced all the time.
They teach medical transcription at the local junior college. And computers make a mess of reports all the time. We have a test that sends out a map of coagulation activity. In order to upload to so the doctors see it, we have to go through to programs that aren’t compatible. We have to go in and out of each one at least once to get the fonts the correct size. The messiness of the record actually makes it more believable to me, not less.
My cousin had to leave her job to take care of her Mom (my Aunt) who is very ill. She transcribes medical records from home and makes decent $. I don’t know any other details about what’s involved. Let’s just start a petion to put this show out of it’s misery!
This episode was a definite snoozefest. Thank you for your excellent recaps TT, they are appreciated. Was it me, or was there something particularly strange going on with VGs’ face? It looked pulled and stretched even more than usual. She looked like she had an “0” expression on her face all the time. Maybe she had (more?) work done. They all looked quite plasticky, except Meghan, who just looks like a fool when she opens her mouth. Does this girl not know the meaning of, “just let it go” or “shut the eff up?” Like someone above said, this Brooks dying not dying storyline is stale.
It’s almost like Brooks want this storyline to happen for it to go on so long. Medical records and the like are highly protected by law. It could be ended so easily by telling the insane clown posse to stfu and not even entertaining their bs, but he doesn’t do that and Vicki looks horrified in every scene for one of two reasons. This season is really scraping the bottom.
I can understand why the report would be shown to Tamra. In the conversations that Vicki has had with the other ladies, she believes that out of all of them Tamra is the one that “has her back.” Even though we, as viewers, can see that it is not true, Vicki does not know that. Tamra is always pretending to be on Vicki and Brooks side. Shannon would not be the person that Vicki would choose to show those documents to due to that horrible lunch they had and Shannons complete lack of empathy on that day. Frankly, I don’t think that Heather and Vicki are very close, so that leaves Tamra. Don’t understand why everyone thinks showing the report to her is such a shocker. By the way, I have decided to not watch until the Reunion and even then I might end up changing my mind. The women on this show are so callous. I truly appreciate your recaps!
If I have to let Hear Meghan talk about justice one more time…
I believe both Brooks and Vicki said they were telling Tamara because she was Vicki’s oldest friend in these group of assholes.
I refuse to believe that Brooks doesn’t have cancer, I refuse to question whatever procedure he had because I am not a doctor, I have no idea what works or doesn’t, nor do I think it’s any of my business. I would never film a Drs app and I’m not sure most Drs would allow it, they need consent to film.
I just don’t understand how Bruce could be faking, especially on a public show. They should be ashamed of themselves. I totally dislike Shannon and the rest of the ladies.
Ryan is a dick and I agree, why would two people with no income move to a 3500 rental? Are there no condos available there? Anyone know if they get paid for being on the show? I can’t understand why the girlfriend would want her financial business aired.
Lala, I hear you. Problem is Meghan has a 3rd grade, non-native’s grasp of vocabulary. She’s confusing “justice” for “vengeance,” just like she confused “lieu” for “light.”
Thanks for the recap, TT. So much better than having to slog through this shitshow.
Just to clarify about non-hodgkins lymphoma. Yes it is a blood cancer and yes you do have masses. I ought to know. I had stage 4 non-hodgkins and I had a large mass from 1 shoulder to the other and down to my breast line. Also 1 on my kidney. Not operable because it was wrapped around my veins and tissues.
If anyone had ever asked me for medical records they would no longer be in my life.
Hope you’re doing well now, debbie
Yes I am thank. Because I went into remission I was able to harvest my stem cells in case of recurrence. Brooks probably never went into full remission hence it coming back 3 x. Until he does he will not qualify for transplant.
Big hug Debbie-that sounds so scary. Glad to hear of your remission!
Thank you
Shannon: Fifty Shades of Grey Goose.
What a disappointment she is this season.
Vicki is the one who made Brooks’ health part of the show. I think she wanted to force Brianna and the audience to accept him using his ill health for sympathy. I also think she laid down the gauntlet to Meghan by saying she was going to take her down. She’s used to newbies being intimidated and her buddies rallying around her. None of the things she wanted to happen, happened. Now the snowball has turned into an avalanche which is blanketing the whole show.
It’s a part of her life. She’s not to blame for making it a part of the show. Are you serious? She also made her kids a part of the show. that doesn’t mean that they need to INVESTIGATE and prove that her daughter lives in Oklahoma and if so do they own a home and if so what color is the home and if they wear down and provide a copy of the paperwork call up the real estate office to confirm XYZ.
It’s stupid. Vicki HAS every right to address it on the show as he was introduced on the show WAY before this came out. They should have respected it and instead they decided to pick it apart. Meghan is not alone to blame for that BUT she is to blame for going way too far to prove a point which seemingly will blow up in her face real soon.
They don’t have to provide medical records to a bunch of loons that have nothing better to do (OR DO THEY? perhaps work on their strained marriages and their unsuccessful grown adult kids) than to drag this out because they didn’t get what they wanted initially. He finally gives it to them and they pick it a part.
ALSO why are you all not understanding that Vicki and Brooks possibly gave the records to Tamra TALK A LOT because she for sure is going to discuss unlike the brown haired girl that would be respectful. Also, at that time SHannon already showed her she wasn’t loyal as did Heather…who on earth will she choose? Meghan. Of COURSE she will choose tamra.
Looking at Brook’s twitter I doubt he’d make the comments about taking action if he was making it up and for someone that has already had a questionable past in the public eye WHY would brooks risk destroying any chance of having the ounce of credibility he does by LYING about cancer.
This isn’t 1995…it’s 2015. You can’t get away with stuff like that without millions of people eyeing you and looking to see where there are any discrepancies.
I want Brooks to pursue legal action for invasion of privacy for his medical records and slander.
They got their ratings now they need to pay up.
Lymphoma spreads via the lymph nodes and you can get masses through out the body. The place that Meghan claimed does not to the type of scans that Brooks has DOES in fact do them ever day. Don’t know the truth about Brooks but Meghan is full of it. This is the worst plot of any reality show ever and the reunion will be ugly and brutal. There are some real bitches on this show and that says a lot.
I don’t understand what is so difficult to get.
It’s NO ONE’s business what he does or how he goes about doing it when it comes to his cancer battle.
There are so many issues with this that most of you are not focusing on.
Keep in mind this might play out for months on our screen but that doesn’t mean that it lasted that long while filming.
They acknowledge his cancer at first. Then these girls begin questioning it.
Vicki and Brooks didn’t come into the situation thinking they had to remember every single date or detail to present as evidence. At first they probably thought their verbal responses would be enough and then wanted these pigeons to get off their back by respectfully asking them leave it alone. That troll Schmeghan decided to be on a mission to seek justice. WHY? not because she gives a care about Brooks or Vicki but because
1) Vicki called her out for her gold diggerish ways and shallow decisions.
2) Brooks cancer storyline was taking away from her storyline dealing with cancer and she wanted to “bust” them since Brooks stol her thunder.
Schmeghan decided she was on a mission to take down Vicki by way of Brooks and she got the other girls on her side. Most of them playing both sides until more inconsistencies arose so they srtated leaning over to team schmeghan.
Fast forward to Brooks finally showing evidence meghan still can’t get enough. She completely disregards that she is 30 years old, she is a step mom and she is ok with showing everyone that she is willing to make herself seem lifeless and with toom uch time on her hands and she still loses. Even if Brook didn’t have cancer she loses…it turns out that Brooks is now contemplating to pursue legal action and HE SHOULD. Luckily he isn’t a paid participant so he’s not under contract for which someone like Vicki probably couldn’t sue for privacy invasion or slander. Brooks can and although I don’t follow him on twitter I checked and now it’s coming out that he is gearing up for taking action.
I hope meghan is fired and I hope Jim wakes up. It’s bad enough he has a brat of a daughter on his hands but now a brat of a wife.
I think Vicki and brooks also distance themselves from their relationship and are remaining friends so that he can move on from the stress and pursue whatever actions he has in plans without it tying into vicki.
I also think his tweets recently are somewhat of a warning for Meghan when she appears at the reunion to watch what she says because he certainly is going to.
Shame on Shannon for thinking she is perceptive yet drinks Meghan’s koolaid and believes tamara is legit meanwhile admitting that her passive aggressive husband had his mistress befriend her without a clue in the world.
Shame on heather, too.
Love the brown haired girl. I forget her name though.
Vicki needs to slay these pigeons at the reunion.
Yes, I’m back with more thoughts, I do not believe Vicki was using Brooks cancer for pity. She has asked over and over for them to stop talking about it. She did not want to discuss Brooks with Brianna on camera. Vicki has asked them all to let it go, they refuse. I have non idea why these women are so obsessed with Brooks maybe because it takes the focus off their own challenging marriages? No one is talking about David’s affair, how great for Shannon. Shannon should be so ashamed of herself.
Is Ryan on drugs? Why is he super skinny all of a sudden? Did you see the camera focus on his legs and arms at different times? Is that why he’s such a duck to everyone including the little girls? What a mess!
Layla,
Your autocorrect quacks me up.?
They bitch that they want proof, then when they get the proof, claim he faked the report? What planet are these women from?
The only thing Brooks needs to show these bitches is his shoe….up their asses.
Lol! I will send him some boots! ?
I believe that Brooks has cancer.
I also believe RHOOC has jumped the shark and has become unwatchable.
Why in the world do you think Brooks would have any type of civil case against anyone? Stating your opinion as a lay person is not slander and who stole Brooks’s medical records?
Sorry I was trying to respond to sware84. I can’t for Lawstangle to read that comment lol.
She is on record saying that he does not have cancer. She went to incredible lengths to not only question it but find evidence of such and report it out to bpeople knowing it will be broadcast to millions of people. What heather, tamra or shannon did could be sating your opinion as a lay person
what she did is make numerous decisions to attack his character to conclude that he is lying, forging records. Character assassination. Now regarding medical records I never claimed she tole his records but she lied to gain as much information about his records as possible and as much as HIPAA laws would allow.
She did not lie to get his medical information. She asked general questions related to his condition. She did not lie to get his specific medical records. She is on record stating that she, a non-medical reality personality does not believe he has cancer. He and Vicki have done more to contribute his lack of credibility by their inconsistent statements. It’s the two things combined that have everyone questioning his condition. There is no case.
Oh but there is. This entire season has been a character attack on Brooks. He may have had to sign a contract with Bravo that has a clause agreeing not to sue for defamation, but if he didn’t, he has plenty of cause to sue. That said HE HAS CANCER so dealing with a law suit is probably not on his mind right now.
If Joanna Krupa can sue Brandi for saying she has a smelly vagina and she is a homewrecker, then Brooks should be able to sue Meghan for claiming he doesn’t have cancer.
I understand the comparison to the Joanna v Brandi case. As TT has stated many times, it’s frivolous. The big difference between the two cases, if there will be a case, is when the statements were made. Brandi made her statement on WWHL. She was not protected under a Bravo contract.
I’m sure everyone who appears on RH signs some sort of agreement with Bravo. Meghan is probably covered under that agreement because her statements were made in the course of RHOC. Plus she can say “I said it’s my opinion”. She is a moron so who believes her right? Or she can say “production made me do it”.
Is any of this morally right? No. Do I feel bad for Brooks? Yes. Do I feel bad for Vicki? No. She’s liar and a hypocrite. What goes around comes around.
Angel, she did lie to get information, just not HIS specific information. She impersonated a cancer patient when she called one of the facilities to ask if they treat cancer.She called the doctor who did the reservatrol (sp?) and told them she was a cancer patient and asked if they treated cancer.
While I don’t think there are any laws against that, per se, it’s still shady and dishonest as hell.
Meghan is a mess.
Between her elbows, clavicle and bony shoulders she looks like a box of human pick-up sticks.
Meghan needs to be in a petting zoo preferably an NBA franchise – that’s all I gotta say.
I watched about 1 minute and 37 seconds of this episode and couldn’t watch any more.
I was actually AMAZED more than usual, TT, that the closing credits were rolling and your recap email alert was in my inbox in RECORD TIME. You are fabulous!!!! The recaps are so much better than the actual show! Thanks!
It is beyond belief why Brooks feel the need to explain, validate or even discuss his illness with these women … ugh! Grow a backbone for God’s sake! As for Vicki I’ve never seen anyone so desperate and needy … well I take that back Shannon Beador! Btw who is no friend of Vicki’s neither is Tamara, God help them ALL!
Clearly Meghan is misunderstood. …her months of selling disposable CPAP supplies CLEARLY make her a cancer expert! .
And why no mention on RH about her previous failed marriage? It seems all we hear about are Jim’s marriage, tho not so much as the one this home wrecker finished. Those girls get what they deserve, someone’s cheating husband. Good luck with that. What he does WITH you, he’ll do TO you.
Imagine what I could actually dig up on the Internet if I was as into “research” as this CFB is?
This whole fiasco reminds me of the Grimms fary tale when the good sister dpoke diamonds rubies and pearls fell from her lips and when the evil sister spoke toads spiders and frogs fell from her lips. Saw lots of toads spiders and frogs last evening.
Oh Shannon, I really thought more highly of you. Vicki supported you through your crisis and didn’t read your private texts. Tamara, Heather and Megan get in your ear and you trash what appeared a solid friendship. It must be a California thing to pay a huge 8k deposit on a rental property (we don’t do that on east coast)….I thought they were buying this house. Previous seasons i can find something i like about Heather. ..not this season. I would never show my private medical records to any of these people. They are vultures and will always ask for more. Case in point Megan. Disgusting.
About the $8k, I figured it was $4k rent and one month’s deposit.
In NYC we pay one month to move in and 1.5 months in security. So since the house is 3500.00, I’m guessing the total was first months and 1.5 security.
We pay first and last month’s rent + security deposite + pet deposite (if they allow pets) in L.A. I don’t know how Eddie is putting up with the BS.
On these shows, you have to have at least one cast member someone in the audience can identify with. Even extreme personalities have some touch of repeatability to them – (Je suis Kristen) – and there is no one – NO ONE – in this crazy that is relatable or likeable. They have all moved past the point of self awareness and every single fucking action and decision is predicated on how it will make them look on TV.
Shannon’s Misery Queen schtick does not elicit sympathy, it elicits grabs for the remote because its uncomfortable to watch, and when THAT is your most sympathetic cast member, the producers need to rethink and recast.
Nothing Vicki says or does is genuine – witness her threaten production while in Oklahoma. Everything – even the relatively benign scenes of her playing with the grandchildren – is suspect because she’s been on the show so fucking long (a rule: if your child starts out as an adolescent, goes through liberty, high school, college, gets married, and has a kid over the course of the show, then you no longer can call yourself REAL. You are not. Exit TV gracefully before we turn on you. Call it the Nene Rule)that there is nothing real, sincere, or genuine about her. The Succubus known as Andy Cohen has sucked all the sincerity out of her and has left us with nothing but a withered husk of mendacity.
And Tamra? Stop. Her gay pastor is not going to cleanse her of her sins and transform her into Mother of the Year. there ain’t enough Blood of the Lamb to do that much laundry.
So, basically there are two choices. Choice # 1 – Brooks has cancer, and the housewives are horrible people for doubting him. Yes, some information seems odd. If he has cancer, he probably hasn’t been worrying too much about how he presents his medical news. If that is the case, Bravo has become an evil enterprise for putting Brooks through all of this for our “entertainment.”
OR, choice #2 – Brooks doesn’t have cancer, and Bravo has been exploiting everyone, including us. (Actually, in either case Bravo has been exploiting everyone!) The cancer story has been the main story line this season. It has over shadowed everything else. Surely they could have given the new housewife something better to do. This has been one of the worst seasons for any of the franchises!
Whatever turns out to be the truth, someone has a boatload of bad karma coming their way.
Maisey, You are awesome!
In next weeks episode:
Meghan spends up to 8 hours a day in front of a mirror perfecting her mouth twitching. She believes it will become a new Olympic sport.
Shannon enters couples therapy with an empanada.
Tamra scours the bible looking for that “water into wine recipe.”
Well since she can’t decipher the Bible, she will have a hard time finding that recipe! ?. Oh, just in case Tamra reads here, girl get yourself a Living Bible.
Thanks to you horrible horrible people I have this image now of Meghan being a door to door saleswoman of reusable catheters.
Have not watched this episode yet but as for dumbass meghan.. My uncle who died of melanoma this year actually had 2 PET scans this year before he passed away.. They used it to track the growths and if it was spreading
“Tamra is helping her grown man move into the house. Apparently they are both unemployed. And on the verge of divorce. Who saw that coming?” They aren’t even married yet, or at least they weren’t when that was filmed. Ryan was getting cold feet.
