OH FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. After the whole attack on Brooks all season, the second least favorite thing I want to see is a whole episode of WWHL devoted to Shannon zipping David’s balls (and penis) into her tiny little evening bag.
I’m predicting that Brooks breaking up with Vicki after the season ended was because he was over the bitches but Andy allegedly told Vicki she had to film with Brooks to return. So he said, if you have to film with me I’m staying at your place during filming but that it. Brooks who is not paid by Bravo unless Vicki shares her cut, was likely uncooperative with production, as in he has cancer to deal with and can’t be bothered and only did it for Vicki. Then after filming was over Brooks dumped Vicki at her function in Miami because he has shit to deal with. Maybe his cancer was in remission before the season aired and he wanted to drink. Maybe it wasn’t and he wanted to drink. He is not a Bravo employee. This is Brooks third round with cancer. Maybe it happened in the off season and that is why Bravo forced Vicki and Brooks to be on this season to make it look like it happened during filming season. But he has cancer and he doesn’t need this shit.
Sorry, off on a tangent. I just feel like Andy wanted Brooks and Vicki and he got Shannon and David instead. Brooks is always saying he is over the #editedfortvversionofevents and that is what I am beginning to think. What if he was in remission during filming and they made him reenact shit so Vicki could get paid? I dunno I’m just saying.
But wait there’s more video ….
My GOD. I think everyone can see that David was forced to do this and Shannon is using this as a way to retaliate against the bitch that was with her man, and the cherry on top is she is emasculating her husband. Must be nice to be the crazy one whose dad allegedly bankrolls her husband’s business. Shannon’s version of events are not really adding up. I thought the mistress was her new friend who was pumping her for information about their marriage. Now she is saying the mistress said, ” he says he is in love with me and I don’t even know the guy? ”
Remember when Shannon was doing interviews before the reunion saying it was going to be Vicki versus Shannon? What if all of that was because Shannon knew (because Vicki called her and unloaded about Brooks’ third round with cancer and she knew when it started and he was better) and then she discovered that Bravo was going to make it appear to be in real time, thus cutting out so much of her revenge scenes about her cheating husband (which also happened much earlier than filming) and she was pissed.
I think Bravo set this whole season up to be about Brooks having cancer (way before the new season started and he improved but they made them go through the whole ordeal again as if it was happening then) and Shannon and David (who clearly worked out their situation long ago, and if this ring thing happened would explain why Shannon didn’t care about having her kids do a bit of scripted TV) That is why we saw so many scenes of the girls. And scenes of the girls pretending mommy was mad because daddy took her to the sports bar for dinner.
If my theory is true. Shannon is the horrible person for including young children in her charade and Meghan is and even bigger cunt satchel for playing her part. And I understand Brooks feeling used and being over it. Vicki will come for Shannon over this because Vicki dumped Shannon for keeping up her ruse and bashing Vicki’s And I hope David divorces Shannon three days after the reunion airs.
Vicki and Brooks were not lying about him having cancer, they were lying about the timeline because Bravo told them they wanted to make it a storyline on the show. That is why Bravo told Vicki she could only stay with Brooks. The reason they were lying about the TL was because Brooks posted about having chemo in MISSISSIPPI. Why did I not realize this earlier. All the LA scenes were reenactments like they do so many other things. That is why Brooks was like fuck you I am having a drink and some carbs. He had finally gone back into remission.
So yes, Brooks and Vicki probably did lie but they would consider it a reenactment because it did happen, just not at the time they were filming. Muchlike Shannon and David had reconciled and Shannon forced David into being humiliated on the show.
Thoughts?
I had to read that twice to make sure that I had read that right, holy shit. I mean HOLY SHIT!!!! If you are right, and this is so fucked up you probably are, this is too fucked up.
I do think TT is right on this one. This makes everything fall into place and finally make sense.
I agree with the Vicki/Brooks thing, but its very hard for me to believe that Shannon and David are/were doing fine or fully reconciled.
I agree. I don’t think Shannon and David are over the affair at all, or at least during filming. Shannon is way too intense about it and David is a meek tail-between-his-legs puppy, but he also doesn’t care that much. I think either way, it wasn’t cool to involve their children. The fact that they know Daddy had sex with another woman, and the whole world knows, is bad enough, never mind drawing it out on TV.
The whole season truly was a mess. I can’t be a part of this Shitfest next season unless something changes (mainly, they dump Meghan).
And I really wish I could watch the videos! But I can’t, because, Canada.
Well, according to your Dec 11, 2014 post “Vicki Gunvalson Shares Some Off-Season Tea” (I’d link, but, you know) Vicki was threatened with a demotion to FOH status if she didn’t film with Brooks, so that would lend credence to your theory.
It also answers the question as to why Brooks’s condition is being discussed in the first place – Bravo said film it or lose your six-figure job. Vicki didn’t want to lose it and I don’t blame her – neither would I.
It’s clear that for Shannon, she wanted to make David suffer as much as possible for his transgression. Too bad we, the audience, had to suffer right along with him, and just as much.
And yes, Meghan, Tamra, et al, are vile cunts for their own actions.
I used to like Shannon but God… DAVID RUN FOR YOUR LIFE… what is he doing with this whiney… two faced woman… and Meagan.. no words for the vile creature… a tamra double for sure…
Right, CB. Meghan is what Tamra might be like if she were more intelligent.
Perfect! ???
I liked Shannon in the beginning-her particular brand of crazy didn’t bother me and she was fun to watch but now I just can’t… It’s painful to watch David when she’s speaking, he always looks like a deer in the headlights. I want to tell him, “Blink damn it” and also stop with all the, “Yes Dear” crap. What he did was horrible however the choices she’s making are equally as bad. It’s like she’s on a world wide tour, toting David along on a leash with his balls firmly in her hand. The fact that they have involved their very young and innocent beautiful girls in this whole mess is despicable- it’s not about showing other families how you can “pull through a crisis”-it’s ALL about Shannon, Shannon, Shannon and about getting back at David and his mistress. How short sighted these people are-I just feel bad for the kids.
I’m sure I’m going to come off as an asshat after this post but here it is. I don’t give a shit about Brook’s condition or whatever he has or doesn’t have. If Vicki feels she had to pimp herself out to Bravo for her salary, that’s on her – not me or any other viewer. That’s on her and her alone.
You are quite correct. You DO come off as an asshat. Vicki has “pimp[ed] herself out to Bravo for her salary” no more and no less than any other Real Housewife of any edition of the franchise. Filming these women’s lives is the entire point of the show.
Vicki has given the audience a glimpse into her life, problems and all. No sane person would have anticipated the actions of the other Housewives regarding her boyfriend. The irrational, sociopathic behavior of the others (Meghan) is on THEM, not on Vicki.
I get the point of the show/franchise. I watch it. My comments are merely my opinion and I’m entitled to it.
Vickie didn’t have to be on this season. No one forced her to.
No one is saying that you aren’t entitled to your own opinion, but when you post that opinion in an online discussion, people will respond with their own opinions. I did to yours; you did to mine. See how that works?
True, no one forced Vicki to be on this season. It doesn’t make her responsible for the actions of others. Who was forced to be on this season? No one. It’s irrelevant. If you are arguing that Vicki new what she was getting into, or that her fellow castmate’s actions were forseeable, I disagree. As I said, no sane or reasonable person would anticipate some stranger contacting Brooks’s ex-girlfriends to dig up dirt or impersonating a cancer patient on the phone to various doctor’s offices. It is insane behavior and it is beyond the pale.
Well said, ericzku. The scenes that made me the craziest were Meghan bragging about calling Brooks’ ex or his doctor’s office and these women acting impressed by her behavior. I kept waiting for one of them (Heather???) to say, WTF you are stalking him you crazy bitch. But instead they agreed with her!! These are really horrible people.
“No sane person would have anticipated the actions of the other Housewives regarding her boyfriend.”
This isn’t 1st Season – We could ALL anticipate what raving, bitches the Housewives would be.
Tilmont…I respect you having an opinion that isn’t of the sheep variety. LoL. This is HW and Vickie herself has been apart of and witness people going off the rails about the actions of others. Let’s see, she has been apart of the intense dislike her daughter feels for Brooks, to the point Brianna and Tamra teamed up. She was witness to Tamra and Brooks “evil eye”. Oh wait off topic of Brooks…She and Tamra have been leaders in their distain for Slade(calling ex-girl to pry into Slades personal issues). Wait and then there’s Gretchen, the reaction of Vickie and Tamra when Gretchen went to Bass Lake when Jeff was dying. Not only does Vickie know how HW go off on other HW boyfriends, she has been the epitome of a “S” starter. What Vickie didn’t anticipate was the other HW wouldn’t give her a pass.
I agree. Can’t imagine being so desperate to hold an orange that I’d ask a loved one to recreate a cancer scare. I could never imagine doing that. I’d be worried a loved one would really die (like during filming).
ETA: I can’t imagine she would do that. She’s got too much to lose.
Especially to recreate a cancer scare where the plot is going to be that all the cast members think he is LYING about having it. I feel like Vicki has spent a few seasons trying to make Brooks look like such a great guy. Then to undo it all by making him look like a liar?? Especially since it’s not like Vicki needs this housewives gig. She has plenty of money without it. They all should be ashamed. This was a waste of a season anyway.
I, for one, agree with you. There are some things you don’t reenact – and that includes angst over a life threatening disease and goofy supposed “cures.” IF he’s had it 3 times and gone into remission each time, having him lay in the grass to cure his disease (et al) is just a cruel joke on anybody actually in the throes of Cancer.
Vicki and Brooks also have been pushing sales of their “vitamin drink”- saying it cures cancer on her facebook page. So, if they were going to claim remission after pretending to use this juice they’re selling it is criminal. And makes a whole lot more sense why Vicki would do it. First, she loves sympathy/playing victim, she then can move in her boyfriend no one likes without criticism under the guise of helping her dying bf, thirdly for storyline, and lastly financial gain. For Vicki that’s a quadruple win. She just didn’t anticipate being exposed.
For some reason, when I contemplate hearing a diagnosis of cancer (hey, I’m almost 67 and stuff happens) I believe I would never live another day without thinking about “it.” We didn’t see Brooks doing conventional cancer therapies but we did see some unconventional treatment options. I still don’t understand how that makes Brooks and Vicki the bad guys. If they replayed some of those scenes, how does that make them worse than Tamra and Eddie’s almost sex in the bathtub scene?
I feel like I did the time I realized I would be OK if Jodi Arias got life in prison instead of the death penalty. I never expected to be someone who would be taking up for Vicki or Brooks. Only a deeply disturbed person would claim cancer when it is not there. As deeply religious as I am, even I believe that no one would mess with karma like that. If it was Bravo that pushed this, then poor them. It appears they have all laid down with dogs and they will all get up with fleas.
Vicki is not new to this game. The OG thought that this was an OK story line to pursue. She didn’t think that anyone would have the nerve to expose her. She was wrong, and has damaged her credibility and offended many others in the pursuit of her career, including her family. I never cared for Vicki, as she never seemed to hold others in high regard, or treat them with any sort of compassion. What goes around…..
1st rule of mending a relationship scarred by infidelity – don’t keep bringing it up (especially in public). “I forgive you but . . . . . . . .” Shannon’s need for revenge / need to humiliate David supercedes protecting her kids. 9 lemons in a bowl my ass. ??????????
When life gives you 9 lemons, exchange them for limes… then have Javier squeeze all of them into an extra tall glass of Grey Goose so Shannon can let loose and eat something that’s on the menu for once in her goddamn life.
I also use to like Shannon. But no more. She’s bat shit crazy and has a really strong mean streak. Infidelity is a sign that there’s something wrong in a relationship. If you care about salvaging the relationship you work on it. If the relationship is irreparable, you go your separate ways and move on and try to remain friends if you can or if there are children involved. No need to go all “Fatal Attraction” over it. In this case Shannon is the Glenn Close character rather than a mistress/side-piece playing that role. So cruel and unnecessary. I feel bad for David.
OG Shay, that made me laugh!
Needed it!
Thank you much!
Thanks for the laughs, @khaleesi:) notice the amount of limes is negatively correlated with the cost of the restaurant? Such alki behavior!
Shannon has great clothes, beautiful children, money, a good education, and all she can do is focus on her miseries. She is great at being a victim. Anyone who plays her kids to get revenge against a spouse is one sorry bitch.
The Brooks and Vicki reenactment doesnt bother me as much as the Shannon, Meghan,and Tamra shit stirring. Brooks has been ill, very ill. I hope he and Vicki get back together and tell BravoAndy to fuck off.
fivecastownme: I totally agree. Infidelity is not a pass for demasculating your spouse on national tv (maybe an ex-spouse? LOL) and recruiting your children to participate in that drama. Shannon needs to get dumped by David. Hopefully, he has the balls to finally do it.
You must be right because this finally makes sense of everything. Bravo and Andy suck.
But even if it was a “reenactment” – wouldn’t there still be proof? If his diagnosis date was way before filming started, that wouldn’t have mattered. He could have held off from revealing that he was in remission until after the season wrapped if they wanted to extend the storyline.
Brookes doesn’t need to prove crap to any of those barking hens (or us) that surrounded him this season.
I don’t as anyone to prove a illness, do you?
ask
I think that’s why they couldn’t show the paperwork, it would show the real dates. That is why Brooks is not afraid of potentially suing Meg, he most likely has proof of his cancer and the correspondence from the producers. It makes sense in regards to Vickie looking so distant and not going to doctor appointments anymore. I don’t think Meg was in on it, but I’m sure Shannon was. She and Vickie were close off camera, and now Shannon is trying to save her own ass.
That would explain why Vickie didn’t want to discuss Brooks with Briana on camera while visiting in Oklahoma. Maybe Briana wasn’t up to speed on what Bravo was demanding of Vickie and Brooks, so the only way Vickie could clue her in was to run in the house and demand the cameras to be shut off. I’m so sorry for Brooks that he has had to go through all that. I honestly can’t blame him for hitting the road.
Ay caramba.
Disturbing, but it makes sense.
Can Shannon grip David’s hand any tighter? I swear, she is trying break his fingers.
Awesome thought: Eddie, David, and Jim divorce these bitches the day after the last part of the reunion aires.
Oh, I see an opportunity for a fun game here — what would their Bravo show be called?
– Men Who Got Their Dangling Bits Back –
– Waiting To Inhale –
– Hangover IIII –
–Andy’s Angels
–I Dream of Wiennie
A scene of the three of them running and dancing at the beach, laughing and weeping for their freedom.
Eddies show would be slightly different then David and Jim’s. I envision sweaty workout scenes during the Men Only Day at the gym.
Too bad Sweating to the Oldies is taken!!!!
Makes complete sense. I’m sorry, but if this is true, the actions of Vicki, Brookes, Tamra et al makes me very uncomfortable.
I understand reshooting scenes and fake tv marriages/engagements/pregnancy tests (even when they already know they are pregnant). However, faking cancer in any way is messed up. This includes shooting dodgy treatment scenes AFTER the chemo really worked.
Fuck this show. They all suck.
Oh and Shannon is now a monster. Her husband and children deserve better.
Andy Cohen is an evil genius.
Oh Lady C—
I usually agree with you.
This time I think you are only half right.
?lol
Just me, or is shannon really bad at exercising?
Those were great outtakes and are the true purpose of the show–which is to make me feel better about my own abilities.
spk: she looked like all her muscles had atrophy and she’d never exercised in her life in Tamra’s class, too. Afterward she was the only one with sore legs because she didn’t know how to engage her glutes in a 1 hour booty class (with instructor and friends to model the moves!). Its just funny because she can’t even eat an empenada at an ocean front dinner date after 2.5 hours working out? My mom is 71 and controls her diabetes by diet and exercise. She’s not as small as shannon, but more muscular. She uses the elliptical for 75 minutes a day and burns 1400 calories so she can eat whatever she wants!
Shannon is just needy and makes herself a constant victim/ underdog to the point of being pathetic. I notice many people from old money cannot handle stress or minor, self-inflicted, just-life type things going wrong.
OG of the Shay – I agree with what you said. The thing that baffles me is how for all the heavy drinking on this show, none of them have a drinkers belly. And no amount of exercise will burn that off. It’s got to be plastic surgery, it’s certainly not Chinese meds.
And it sounds like your mom has the right idea, which is fantastic! Even I forget to “engage certain muscles” when I get out and exercise, which explains my many trips to the PT specialist.
@spk: Omg I’m changing my name to OG of the Shay. It literally makes as much sense as Original Gangster of THE Orange County. You can tell vicki is not from OC because she inserts a “the.” No one from socal, like the rest of the country, puts a “the” in front of their county.
Good job working on your fitness! Its something I watch my mom do while I’m eating my second dinner.
Funny – I like to think Vicki is referring to herself as the Old Gal of THE OC. hehe!
Wow. I just can’t anymore with David and Shannon. Shannon is determined to strip any dignity David had left. This is getting just sickening to watch. I feel like I’m watching David being mentally abused each episode and he’s too dumb to realize what she is doing. She is an evil genius and an master manipulator.
You know what it reminded me of? Do you remember (years ago) when Robin Givens and Mike Tyson gave an interview and the whole time Robin emasculated Mike while he was sitting right next to her like a fool? He looked like an emotionally beaten man who didn’t know his ass from a whole in the ground. Well, that is how David looks now. It’s SICK. And I’m losing respect for them both with every appearance.
David is playing his role well. Shannon said that divorce was not an option. If David had any interest in being part of his children’s lives, and not vilified by Shannon, this was the deal. He got off easy, as he has not been murder in his sleep, that we know of….
Lol! Right!
Can you image what goes on behind the scenes privately if this is what they are airing publicly? It’s just sick. I feel for those kiddos.
Wait one second. David gave his wedding ring to their CHILD to give back to Shannon????? Are you FUCKING KIDDING ME???? Who does that?????
These two are sick sick sick!!!!!!! I felt bad for David but I’m realizing that he is just as sick and nasty as Shannon is. What hell is wrong with these two nut jobs????
I hope they find these poor girls a really good therapist they can confide in, this type of parental behavior can really screw a kid up when it comes to their own relationships\ kids in the future. I’m all for holistic treatment or whatever treatment paints your hut. These girls may need some help this can’t be a happy household to live in.
Those poor girls.
If your theory is true and the viewers find out, then RHOC is done! This theory is pretty good. I can see Vicki doing what you said. She is very sneaky. But why would Brooks participate?
I really don’t give a “F” about Shannon and David.
Brooks participated because Vicki pays for everything. He was the houseboy, but with a story line that was supposed to arouse sympathy, rather than the usual disgust. Boy, did all of this backfire, and I love it.
I was harassed out of my first job after college because my boss didn’t believe in getting sick. When I told him I had work half a day and leave early to get an MRI to check for a brain tumor, he told me my absenses were getting ridiculous. (Prior to that I missed one full day and had no other absenses.)
But this isn’t an isolated incident. My friend lost her job because no one believed in her migraines. My moms friend lost her job because she had lupus. People do not believe in illnesses they cannot see. Why? because they are assholes. Sick people will get ‘special treatment’ over themselves and they may be slightly inconvenienced. Or they are jealous of the attention the sick person gets. Or they are just assholes. Mainly it is because they are assholes.
What the hell did the idiot say when you pointed out to him that one prior absence is hardly “ridiculous”?
Sounds like a nightmare. Legally, I don’t believe they can do that but I get not wanting to fight it out.I work in a law firm so they’re extra careful about those types of things, nobody wants a lawsuit from an employee who feels their health was compromised, but in most cases it’s probably easier to just move on.
As far as the topic, I didn’t get barely a few hours of sleep last night and I need to read it again. I don’t get the backlash with Shannon, but I gathered as much that the timeline is off with brooks/vicki?
My head is swimming, this season needs to end lol
I don’t really give a Fuck about ANY OF THEM anymore. The whole damn franchise has become trash tv.
Oh. My. God. If this is the truth, I will never watch this garbage again!
Whoa… I hadn’t thought of this… But what I don’t understand is why they would put that stipulation on Vicki whenever others have filmed without ever showing their husbands/significant others? Doesn’t Vicki have any pull since she’s the “OG”? Do you really think Bravo would fire her?? Ugh, this makes my heart/head hurt, I hate that I watch this crap!
Am so over Shannon, does she have any clue that the more details she shoves out at us the less respect we have for her and her husband? I feel like she’s doing this for sympathy and maybe was annoyed the cancer story line made her lose some of the sympathy she assumed viewers would give her…Shannon the Saint, taking back her cheating husband no matter how bad he was…gah, I can’t stand her. Why tell us David gave his ring to the KIDS to give back to her? What a douche.
Also, do you think production as thrown by Vicki’s mother’s death and then were unprepared to move pass the cancer storyline? It seems like Vicki did not want to keep discussing it, so odd that she would want to sign on for the storyline, unless she was unaware the others were told to question it?
Wow, now this widely publicized statement that Vicki made before the season began, about being threatened by Bravo if she did not film with Brooks makes perfect sense. She was back peddling before this crap was even televised. Now she has released a statement that she just believed what her loving partner told her, throwing Brooks under the bus before the season is over. Then the breakup puts a nice bow on everything. Run, Vicki, run…..
It makes a lot more sense than assuming that Brooks and Vicki would open themselves up to what came their way during the season…especially after Vicki’s mom died. I agree that David will dump Shannon and that they DO NOT have a marriage. David seems as uninterested in Shannon as Jim is in Meghan or Heather is in Terry. Or, for that matter, Eddie in Tamra. They are all hypocrites and they allowed vindictive producers on a horrible network to manipulate them for money and camera time. Shame on all of them.
As usual with your posts, I so agree with all of it.
Shame, indeed, Merilyn. If Shannon and David were serious about reconciling and having a healthy relationship, they would have done it out of the spotlight. I suppose fame really is “a fickle food upon a shifting plate.” And these women are starstruck.
Thank you TT! You have masterfully put the pieces of this puzzle together…..
Personally I have not believed a word out of Brooks’ mouth since the day he arrived on the show. He comes across as a scam artist and this is his grand finale. I’m shocked anyone could believe otherwise.
OK, do we take this to the next level and believe that this was a set up of Bravo’s to discredit both Brooks and Vicki? Brooks has been a lingering malcontent for a long time, but Vicki? What did she do to piss Bravo off?
Aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!! Now that I got that out of my system…my thoughts…Tamara, I completely agree with you about Shannon’s motivation for airing her marriage woes in the public’s eye–retaliation towards the mistress and emasculate David; David is dispicable and cowardly if he truly involved his daughter to state his decision to leave the marriage by handing his daughter his wedding ring and having her tell her mother–his wife–he is done. I never liked Hallmark Brooks much at first, I feel sorry for him now. I think he has had cancer or does have cancer and I would love for him to say “FUCK YOU!” to the horrible housewives (and Briana) who have doubted him and insist on proof of his illness. And Vickie, no amount of money is worth your soul.
Vicki wasn’t forced to bring Brooks. She was told that this is reality show and she need to be all in or not
In at all. She WAS dating Brooks and Bravo told her that since its part of her life, he needs to be included. Bravo didn’t want Vicki hiding part of her life. THAT is the reason for having Brooks on. So yes, the made it a requirement, either your whole,life or none at all.
The truth is Vicki found it more important to continue on the show than to keep her life private.
I think both Vicki and Brooks have 49% “pride”. Just a smidge under their 51% desire for money and recognition. Just enough to make them think twice. I can see both being willing to fudge the timeline slightly but a full-out fabrication? Where did they or Bravo think that story was going to go, aside from endless Dr. visits & maybe salvaging his character with some sympathy?
If Bravo would just rename these shows Telenovela then I’d accept all this silliness for the scripted mess it is. It’s starting to feel like Bravo’s motto is truly “Lie until you die, deny, deny, deny.”
I finally watched the clip. WHO THE HELL INVOLVES THEIR CHILDREN IN THEIR MARITAL ISSUES LIKE THAT? “Stella give this back to your mother.” WFT David! You are big enough to decide to leave your marriage, aren’t you big enough to give the ring back to Shannon yourself? Shannon and David make me ill. ?
If David really did that he is a horrible father, and a horrible person.
Right!!!!! I just posted something similar. They are two sick sick ppl. I was disgusted when I heard that. I used to feel sorry for David but I now realize he is just as emotionally abusive and manipulative as Shannon. I mean, who does that???? Who involves their kids like that? Two sick people, that’s who!
But she needs to keep her private life private
Right!!!!! I just posted something similar. They are two sick sick ppl. I was disgusted when I heard that. I used to feel sorry for David but I now realize he is just as emotionally abusive and manipulative as Shannon. I mean, who does that???? Who involves their kids like that? Two sick people, that’s who!
kelliann—-I agree they are 2 sick people. I can’t believe they would put their children in this position.
They deserve each other. What’s good for the grey goose is good for the gander.
Well, David did break up with Shannon via email. He’s getting the ass whopping that he deserves. However, I think that if I were Shannon, I would not be able to stand the sight of David. He’a a punk. I think that actually that was what Terry was referring to when he called out David as a “penis”. That remark still makes me laugh, it was so out of character for Terry, and it pretty much brought the dinner party to a complete halt, and wound up Shannon pretty darn good, lol.
This finally makes sense. I hated to think someone would fake cancer, although I can’t forgive them for trying to make a buck off detox drinks. Almost as low as faking an illness. I only watched part of the season. I was attracted to RH shows by the fantasy of rich living. I can take a little drama, but endless stupid fights, tragedy and all around nuttiness are not for me.
Fuck me running while I try to digest this load of Bravo shit!
You left out “sideways with a baseball bat”! :o)
Technically..or should I say clinically he did not lie. In the healthcare world if you are in remission your are not cancer free.
Okkkaaaayyy……..so THAT’S why Vicki was so fast to “Thank Jesus in advance”.
Remember her immediate joy at hearing that the psychic didn’t “see” cancer? Vicki was the only one to interpret that as he was cured.
Everyone’s treatment of Brooks was despicable. I hope he gets healthy and has a happy life.
Shannon & David doing an “affair” special. Gross. Shannon is crazy.
I Agree with tamara. the best part is seeing the pics of andy and OG vicki smiling because Vicki knows Andy is not going to allow them to expose the fact that MANY of these storylines actually originate in off season and in order for the viewers to make sense of it they have to make it part of the storyline. That said, we all know reality tv isn’t reality so I don’t fault Vicki and brooks for doing that AS HE HAS CANCER and even when in remission there’s a possibility for return so HAS not had. It’s really going to be egg on Meghans face because she made this her storyline and looks horrible.
She was looking for “justice” and she dug herself a bigger hole while Vicki and Andy just smirk.
I can name a probable reenactment scene from each of the vets on these shows. It’s nothing new.
When Meghan said that he was going to use the drinks as his cure she didn’t realize that it wouldn’t be for faking an entire illness but if he was in remission during filming he’d need to still show the process he went through if he posted about his cancer during off season.
So Meghan looks bad not going with her husband to St. Louis as it’s a monetary relationship
meghan looks bad disrespecting actual mothers to suggest she’d want to take the place of one and not know her place as a step mom.
Her husband seems disinterested and both are dealing with a spoiled entitled brat on their hands.
This Brooks doesn’t have cancer stunt was supposed to put Megan back in the good graces and her cheesy smirks/grin confirm it…the other ladies hopped on because it brings more negative attention to Vicki and people wouldn’t spend as much time criticizing meghan, eyerolling about heather’s lavish life in slight jealousy, eyerolling Tamra’s stunt to look nice on camera and Shannon’s annoying personality…it’s all dump on Vicki and to continue to suggest to the point where megan states he does not have cancer only makes it worse because they all look bad along with Vicki and brooks but at least when the truth comes out that brooks has cancer and this isn’t a total made up stunt/more like reality real time PR move…
Vicki will remain the HBIC OG…Now when she returns next season she can date guys and have a better relationship with her daughter who is probably happier than ever Brooks is most likely gone for good.
ratings gold as the ratings went up and Vicki is still the HBIC and that foolish brat Megan didn’t overtake her
It was worth it.
Now last season Lizzie said she would try to have another kid in a couple years.
BRING LIZZIE BACK so that Vicki and Lizzie can slay these lessers and add two new housewives so that Bravo eventually sees that Megan or tamra are not really needed anymore
Instead of tossing David’s balls and penis into her tiny little evening bag, I’d love to see Shannon toss the whole package into her Ninja blender, and hit “frappe”.
Just like the Bass-o-matic, lolol. In the end it would have been less painful than this season has been.
This show is the worst. Good detective work TT! Your entire premise makes complete sense. Meghan isn’t in any danger of getting sued because Brooks was in remission while they were filming. I wonder if he already agreed not to sue? They really need to dump this franchise. Meghan is unwatchable, Tamra is horrible and middle class at best (she’s done without that Bravo salary), Vicki is a shrill, horrible woman, Heather is just too much, and I’ve lost all respect for Shannon. Probably the only two I could still watch would be Heather and Shannon only because they have scads of money.
I forgot to add that I live in Fort Lauderdale and have heard Brooks is around town. My husband runs a very popular restaurant that’s already had the Below Deck Crew along with a ton of other reality stars. I’ll be on the lookout.
Would that be wrong if I asked him or would I look like that weirdo stalker?
That is a bombshell!! I have to say when I read months ago that someone would accuse Brooks of faking cancer, I thought it might get wrapped up in an episode or something (call me crazy). I did not imagine it would take over the whole season; mostly because whenever I hear someone say “I have cancer” or “so and so has cancer”, my first thought was how can I help or where can I donate; not can I see the medical records as proof? it has never occurred me to question it. It’s so insane. While this season was awful to watch, I think it actually garnered a lot of support for Brooks. I know I felt badly for him and say what you want about him, the scenes I saw where he confronted Tamra, Meghan and Shannon, I thought he acted like a complete gentleman. A lot better than I would have ever done. He owes them nothing and I was hoping Brooks wouldn’t give in and show any records. One random question or comment I had was did anyone else think it was strange when Brooks and Vicki announced in their breakup statement about when this was filmed, ie, from January 2015-May 2015? I didn’t understand the point of bringing that up as the audience knows its not filmed in real time.
When did this WWHL episode air? I taped all the episodes this past week and I don’t see this show in my recordings? Was it a prime time show or the regular time slot WWHL show?
Monday at 11 pm UF.
After Bravo airs it Monday, they are going to run it as an “After School Special”, you know, so All children can be exposed to their marriage problems.
Then the Beadors are going to have an animated Saturday morning cartoon show “Beadors Behind Doors with Scooby Do” to reach the real young ones.
There will be no end to it…..comic books, Laguna Shannon Barbie, a little ball-ess David Gumby you can tie into miserable knots.
These people would do anything for attention.
Hahaha, Maisey, you have me in stitches!!!! ???
If this is right, that would also explain Brook’s slip up when they were all at Eddie and Tamra’ s gym and he said “I had” instead of “I have” when talking about his cancer.
