I’m only recapping this because the page views from this nonsense have allowed me to take a bit of time away from the laptop the past few days. I have multiple personal crises going on at once that needed my attention. Not major, just annoyances. So here is hoping this post will continue to bring the views. I am pissed that Andy has to run this nonsense on #TGIT ! I haven’t even seen Grey’s yet. So don’t spoil me on anything Shondaland. Don’t even remind me I am missing it for this crap.
We start with Andy letting us know that City of Hope claims they never treated Brooks and that Brooks says that he fabricated records “in hopes of putting doubts about my cancer to rest.” Andy is reading this with his constipated expression for those of you relying solely on this recap for your information. Andy says that Brooks still claims he has cancer.
Brooks starts by saying that their breakup was a mutual decision. Brooks says that Briana was a huge problem for their relationship mostly because he and Vicki met while she was still married to Donn.
Brooks gives the news that his lesions/tumors are gone because of a combination of chemo and lots of antioxidant therapy and vitamin C IV therapy. 
Andy starts in making his case. He says on the show when Vicki came home from a trip sick right after he had chemo, he didn’t seem a bit concerned about being around her germs. Brooks says this was week and a half after his chemo.
As for the Resveratrol treatments. Jim Bellino referred him to his private physician (what’s a private physician? Is he saying Jim is his only patient?) who had the same kind of cancer that Brooks is faking and cured himself with Resveratrol. His treatment was Resveratrol, Chemo and antioxidants.
Brooks says “who would ever question someone who has cancer?” Brooks says that Vicki misspoke quite a bit in an attempt to gain sympathy. Brooks says she went to the first Chemo appointment and as many doctors appointments that she could. About 15% of the total appointments.
Why did they choose Tamra to see the CT scan? Brooks says none of the ladies would have known how to read the document. Tamra is the one Vicki has been friends with the longest.
Brooks is very agitated about the questions that refer him not going to Shannon’s doctor.
Andy asks why he gave an interview to that site that rhymes with my Gadar works fine. When they posted video of Brooks admitting he cheated on Vicki with prostitutes? Was it for damage control? Brooks says he gave a one paragraph statement, not damage control, he doesn’t do that.
He tries to explain away why two former girlfriends claim he fake cancer. It’s all a conspiracy between the exes. Two pissed off women wanted to say hateful things.
Brooks says he wished he would have shown Terry his records. Brooks did not reach out to Terry as he said he would.
Brooks asks Andy why there is a doctor on camera with all of his records saying he has cancer and still he is not believed. It pisses him off.
Brooks says that Briana and Ryan are using Vicki and take advantage of her financially. Brooks says breaking up with Vicki is a relief. He feels like a huge weight is off his shoulders. Brooks says she needs to find someone that Briana will accept.
Brooks hates all of the women accept for Heather who he says has been very supportive of him over the fast three years
Brooks says he doesn’t answer to anyone but God, his family and his closest years. Wow that ended in half an hour. Now it is some sort of secrets revealed crap.
God I hate these last episodes. Nothing is ever revealed. But they should have a lot of stuff on the cutting room floor this year since it was all about Brooks.
We talk about Shannon’s weight. I can’t even stand to look at her. And not because of her weight.
Gross unseen footage about Gwyneth Paltrow steams her vagina and so Heather and Terry both went to get their vagina steamed. At the dinner, Vicki says that Brooks has been having really bad night sweats from his chemo. Shannon said Brooks told her he had to go to City of Hope and get two IVs the other day. More from the reunion, where Vicki talks about seeing Brooks sick. Lots of reunion footage of about inconsistencies in Vicki’s stories.
Vicki says she never saw any prescription pill bottles, he kept everything in his pill boxes. They talk about Vicki’s binder for Brooks records. Andy asks if she has ever seen a medical record of his that said he has cancer. She says only the one shown on the show (the club detox doctor). She says she just made the binder with the tabs and stuff but did not put in the labs and paperwork. Brooks did that part.
Briana says she thinks her mom has Stockholm Syndrome. Briana says that Brooks studied her and came after her after seeing the show.
We finally see some lost footage from Moorea. The ladies all drive dune buggies the morning after they got wasted the night before. It was a fun scene. I wonder how many more of these we missed to deal with the harpies shouting at Vicki and Brooks.
We see a dinner scene where Vicki, Billy, Brooks and Michael talk about the psychic who communicated with their mother. Michael says the psychic was full of crap.
Heather says that the leeches bites never really cleared up but the blood facial seems to have worked. She would not do it again. Heather says she doesn’t ordinarily talk about money. She thinks the fans my just be jealous about her financial situation. We get to see Heather shop for door knobs. The also spent $26K on two doors.
Shannon’s husband David had an affair. Who knew? It was so classy how she handled her private business so delicately.
We devolve into a discussion of blowjobs with pop rocks and visits to sex shops to buy anal plugs with Shannon and Tamra. Then Heather and Meghan show up with glasses of champagne. Meghan acts like she has never been in a sex shop before. This actually looks like a very upscale shop with great merch. Heather actually buys the most. They actually do gift wrapping. She spent $855. But of course she never mentions how much she spends.
Meghan gets preventative Botox because she doesn’t want to get wrinkles. She must not have a very good mirror because she has DEEP furrows on her forehead. Probably from all the judgmental faces she makes. Then she gets them in her cheeks. Oh and then she gets the forehead. Then Heather gets a Botox booster.
AND THAT IS THE END OF THE WORST SEASON OF ANY HOUSEWIVES FRANCHISE EVER!
Watching this was a waste of my time, not that I had anything better to do.
When I first saw this I thought it was a repeat.
TT, do you still dislike Briana? I feel like she got it hard this season and I think she knew a lot of whatever Vicki knew.
Then Brianna knew her mother was ass deep in this con job. The only difference between Brooks and Vicky is the “Y”chromosome. They are both polished scam artists, sociopaths. A perfect fit for each other. Brianna is doing her best to keep the damage to Vicky’s reputation as minimal as possible with all her accusations against Brooks. It’s the blame game with her mother in the role as the unsuspecting damsel. Helen Keller could see through this one.
Who is this Brianna you believe is trying to help Vicki? If you call what this girl has done to her mother on TV help, I pray my own daughter NEVER helps me.
Read my lips, peach. I never stated that Brianna was helping her mother.
Brianna wants the same thing from Vicky as Brooks does. Money. She knows what her mother and Brooks are up to is repulsive and, although it is my opinion that she intensely despises her mother, she has a burning hatred towards Brooks and wants the brunt of the public shame to fall on him and not her mother.
Brianna is Vicky’s work of art. She deserves what she gets from that shrew.
Umm Briana has a good job, and is qualified to get a job virtually anywhere in the country. She is married to a man who works. While she might enjoy some of the privileges her moms financial position allows her I don’t think she was calling her mom out BC of money. I think Brooks and Vickis relationship was so toxic she felt a public platform was the only way to get thru to her. They lied about cancer for heavens sake! Plenty of shitty people have decent children and visa versa. It’s not fair to define her by her moms shady actions. What I saw was a woman fighting for her mother.
I agree completely with you Dracla. Brianna was siding with the ladies when it was to bash Brooks. As soon as they start to accuse Vicki of being in on the lie she then starts to defend her mother coming up with that Stockholm Syndome bullshit (I know it exists, I just don’t think Vicki was suffering from it). I haven’t liked Brianna since she married that POS Ryan and refused to think he had done anything wrong to Lydia’s mom. “Voice of reason” my ass.
peach teacher I completely agree with you.
How Brianna talked about her mother/Vicky to others was horrible.
Peachteacher, you are one of the most articulate and intelligent commenters in here.
Damn Dracla. I think you’ve got something there. I think we can all agree that Brianna’s behavior was terrible but the motivation of that behavior was hard to pinpoint. Dracla’s basically saying that Brianna was trying to protect what she believes is rightfully hers, namely Vicki’s money. So anything Brianna said or did in order to get rid of Brooks was motivated by greed, not love. Embarrassing Vicki was just gravy.
This shit’s starting to sound like an Agatha Christie story.
I couldn’t wait for your recap! You have a very wonderful, dry sense of humor, Tamara and it really makes for delightful reading. I got a real kick out of your assessment of all the dribble from secrets revealed and you had me Lol at your summary of the interview. Brooks and Vicki’s stories are so inconsistent and contradictory that I truly don’t believe anything that comes out of their mouth. Two filthy liars.
I agree with that last statement (and all of your post, actually) 100%! That was a terrible, awful, horrible (and BORING) season and I have no interest in seeing any more RHOC ever again.
@JustJenn Brianna had Brook’s ‘number’ from the get go. She did her own investigating and realized early on, it seems from today’s show that he had many disturbing traits and was conning her mom. I think she hit the nail on the head with the Stockholm Syndrome. Like Elvis since his demise, there have been sightings of Vicki and Brooks together after their so called break up.
Brianna did get a bad rap. She was trying to protect her mother. The other women should’ve kept their opinions to themselves, but if it was my mom I don’t care how bad I’d look, I’d do whatever to make sure she wasn’t getting conned.
Brianna was very disrespectful to her mother but this is a crazy situation and she reacted in a crazy way to an unthinkable thing.
@microop Agreed. The ladies were not particularly nice to Vicki, but tonight, I found Heather worse than any of them. Her self-righteous attitude really irked me. She really attacked Vicki at the reunion and while I don’t care for Vicki, I really found her vicious tonight. Meghan sort of faded into the background through most of the reunion, but Shannon and Heather were cruel.
Loved how Brooks tried to get in digs at her and Ryan. They are the ones leaning on Vicki financially, not him! And he knows this to be true. I suppose Brooks never saw a dime of Vicki’s money .
I am done with Brooks, Vicki and the witches from RHOC. I am also done with snotty, spoiled, disloyal Brianna and her nasty mouth. She is certainly her mother’s daughter.Gross people…gross show…gross Bravo.
Thank you for watching this mess so I didn’t have to.
I just finished watching this, as the credits rolled I said a small prayer that this might be the last time I hear his name or see his face. God got me back, fucking Comcast went out so this will be the last thing I see tonight! I hate you Comcast!!! I hate you Brooks!!! I hate you Andy Cohen!!!
ahh Beets, been there with comcast.
What a twitchy pathetic lying piece of shit that man is!
Everything about his speech and body language during this farce screamed “I am absolutely full of shit and lying through my teeth” lol
Heather will hide a sex toy in each room of the new house for Terry to find.
lmao, I dunno why that cracks me up.
OMG! That sounds awful. Like the beginning of a scene that ends very badly on American Horror Story. I don’t think Heather can relax enough to have an orgasm. She looks very tense. Ew.
Hahahahahahaha this made me laugh. So true. Heather having an orgasm. Lol. Like you said in the comments of the last Brooks post they all fake something.
“I don’t think Heather can relax enough to have an orgasm.”
“Terry, dear, now put it there…no there…you never listen…okay, slower, no faster, no slower…wait…do that…eep….zzzzzzz.’
Why does Heather irritate me so? Who is jealous? She’s just a snotty woman spending her husbands money as fast as he makes it. What’s her budget, 50 million? Why do I feel disgusted when Tamra comes on the screen? I hope to never have to view Shannon again, ever! Megan, not worth a comment. Bunch of harpies. This show is over for me.
I am amazed these well traveled women haven’t learned kilometers vs miles. When Vicki thinks she is going to barf in the buggy from being hung over and Shannon’d driving, she takes Shannon’s hat to do it in, instead of her own hat.
Shannon said she had never had a night alone together with David, until he took her away for 17 days after his affair. That is rediculous for anyone, especially for people that can afford child care and hotels.That may have been one of their issues. Their house is so large, they should be able to have a lot of alone space at home.
end of the worst season of any housewives franchise ever…..Amen to that!!! Are you listening Andy? They can only save OC with a recast. Well actually it might be okay if they brought back people who would ally with Vicki against Tamra and Shannon.
They also need to switch channels. From Bravo to Animal Planet.
I officially can’t stand one single person on this show. Not wives, spouses, or spawn. I’m pretty much feeling like that across all of the franchises. I mean I literally feel ill after I watch these shows. I have GOT to break this addiction, because at this point, that’s exactly what it’s come down to. Nothing but an ugly, soul sucking addiction.
This so reminds me of a former friend’s boyfriend who complained every time she gave her teen sons money. He lived with her, had no job or car while she worked full time. I had to back away when I realized that when a group went to dinner, he would collect the money and pay for his meal with our tip money.
I would be livid, pitypat! It would be my “former friend”as well.
Pop rocks blow jobs? They cannot be serious. Did they get that idea from an episode of Loveline?
LOL You’ve never heard of those? Sheesh they’ve been around since the 70’s or 80’s in different variations
Yes, I have. When I was a teenager and stuff like that was “cool”.
Wasn’t it nice to hear about Terry’s hemorrhoids?
I guess as can cross that one off of my bucket list.
Now that we know all about Shannon’s asshole, and now Terry’s, I feel so fulfilled, thank you Bravo!
Terry’s hemorrhoids, Shannon’s asshole, Brooks’ coffee enemas, & Tamra’s butt plugs. The entire season was a steaming pile. ?
I do wonder if the fancy vagina steaming place also fluffs and folds
Vagina steaming was a treatment used in the middle ages through victorian times to cure depressed women, especially virgins and widows.
I didn’t understand his explanation about Shannon’s doctor. First he said they planned to go see the doctor but production screwed up the dates. Then he said they were on their way and got two flat tires. Then he got defensive about why he wouldn’t just go another day, saying there are plenty of great doctors around, Shannon’s isnt the only one.
So, were the dates mixed up and that stopped you? Or were you going and the flat tires stopped you? Both seem to imply you WANTED to go but something prevented you….so why the nastiness about how he had his own doctors and didn’t need hers? If you made up your mind to set a date and proceed to an appointment, why not follow through and try again after the flat tires, locusts, raining frogs and rivers of blood got in your way? lol
All the excuses contradict themselves.
Does anyone remember when he said he was getting treatment at MD Anderson (in Texas)? Because everyone has forgotten, or at least they’re not talking about it. Because, IT HAPPENED.. HE SAID IT. How am I so sure? Because when he said it, I was all, ‘Whaaaat? I went there. Me, and Girth, and his invisible cancer now have a forever bond.’ ?
As far as I know, MD Anderson is just a cancer treatment center. (It’s also where Ms. Camille Grammer had her non-invisible, very real cancer treated.) He said his doctor’s were there, and that’s where he was getting treatment. I remember thinking, ‘That’s a very long trip for chemo and regular doctor appointments.’
Also, he continued to reject Shannon’s ‘world renowned doctor’ at City of Hope. I assumed he did this because he wanted to keep the same doctor… in Texas. Umm… Again, what? Why would you have your cancer treatment in Texas, when you have a cancer treatment facility in your backyard?
So, while in the middle of chemo treatment ‘in Houston’.. Jeana said she saw him coming and going from Vicki’s house (in Orange County, California) looking horrible? I’m also going to assume that Vicki saw him looking sick as well? Is it possible… Could it be… Has Brooks mastered the ability to be two places at once??
Fast forward to the present. No more MD Anderson. Now he has receipts for treatment at City of Hope for his imaginary cancer? Again… What? During filming, he didn’t want anything to do with Shannon’s doctor, or that place. Now he does?
And we wonder why Bravo finally stuck it to him? He’s been a douchebag since day one. The only person who hasn’t seen it is Vicki. They were looking for a reason.. and boy, did he finally give them one. Andy loves Vicki. He always says she’s his favorite, because she’s the last one standing of the original series. They knew he was slimy and up to something. Everybody that’s a part of RHOC that’s met him was probably more than willing to do their part to take out that trash.
Bravo is not heroic for “Sticking it to him”. They are complicit in allowing this farce to happen in the first place. Shame on all of them. I am done with this franchise. I am done with Bravo and sick Andy and all of the nastiness. Life is tough enough already without this mess.
@Merilyn..
I never called anyone, or Bravo, a hero. Read my post again. And if they’re ‘complicit,’ it’s certainly not worth getting your panties in a wad. I stand by my opinion that Brooks had it coming. Opinions are like assholes, and I get to have mine.
I suggest you watch reality TV with a grain of salt. It’s entertainment, for crapsake. Yes, he faked cancer. Yes, he’s a giant douche. At the end of the day, it affects you ZERO.
MD Anderson is one of the best cancer centers in the US. They saved my best friend’s life.
Bozo the Clown can’t keep his lies straight. You know, maybe MD Anderson was where he got treated for his supposed first two bouts of Lymphoma. Or maybe the pancreatic cancer? Or the “nose sarcoma”? This spider has woven so many lies he has totally entangled himself.
At some point wasn’t there also mention of Vickie going to Mississippi to be with him when he was undergoing chemo? Or am I just imagining that?
You don’t need a good memory when telling the truth.
Truth, and liars overcompensate with massive amounts of detail, too. Ahem, Brooks lol
Good words to live by
Judge Judy always says that. You don’t have to have a good memory when telling the truth. Another line from Judge Judy, Don’t pee on my leg and tell me it’s raining. That is what Vicki and Brooks did, peed and said it was raining. Nope. Didn’t buy one bit of it and won’t buy anything from Vicki, ever.
@Shae – and sooooooo ridiculous that he has a life threatening illness but wouldn’t go to the doctor because Bravo couldn’t film it?!?!? He’s such a losing joke.
26k on door knobs for just two doors? What in the hell are they made of? I understand rich people can afford to be extravagant, but I don’t even want to know shit like this. It’s kind of nauseating, but it’s probably because I’m jealous…or it could be because I think untold millions are starving, and 26k could buy a lot of oatmeal, and it almost becomes offensive?
I think part of the reason for talking about how expensive everything is is to attract future buyers. They’ll see how high end all the finishes are. They made a pretty penny when they sold the last house, so maybe that’s the plan with this house.
There you go Gingersnap, my feelings exactly. How many hungry people could Heather and Terry be feeding. People like this must have lost touch with reality.
While I can’t disagree about the obnoxious excess, Terry and Heather don’t have to feed anybody. It’s their money.
And isn’t this money on display the reason so many of us say we were drawn to these shows in the first place? To see the lifestyles of the haves? Then we complain when they are broke posers.
If Heather and Terry are not stealing from anyone, hurting anyone, hurting each other, taking care of their children doing anything illegal and so on then whatever they want to do with their money so be it! Its so annoying yes but whatever. Heather Dubrow is the least of my worries in this world. If I saw her I would just say hi and move on.
i think she said the doors themselves were 26k
Yes and each door knob was $250 and there are approx 70 double doors in the home.
Well, I no longer need that coffee enema
“…and so Heather and Terry both went to get their vagina steamed.”
Truer words have not been shared on this blog, TT, then that statement right there.
Terry got HIS vagina steamed. Heather got her balls waxed.
yes, because Terry likes Heather’s balls smooth when he teabags them.
Vicki mentioned something about “seeing the bills”She said this on camera when cornered
Hey not famliar with commenting or even reading them. I may be late to the party-but what the heck was Vicki referring to there??
I noticed a recent comment on “Why Do Women Watch Bravo TV? What is Wrong With Us?” and began reading, then realized the post is from 2012. OMG. Women are still watching. I don’t and haven’t in maybe three years; it got tacky, loud, repetitious, and tiresome. I read TT every day, without fail, because I love her writing and the people who comment on her posts. Since nothing much changes on the HW of Anywhere, it’s easy to keep up. TT, this is a question worth asking again…not that I’m stupid enough to try to tell you what to write about. Please don’t send me to WLS hell.
