I can’t believe I am even going to discuss the horrendous episode of RHOOC again. But I was dying to see how the women would spin their horrendous behavior. Interestingly, neither Heather nor Vicki have a put up a blog at all. Shannon is the one with the most to say.
Here are the low-lights…
Shannon
But what is most distressing about Kelly’s blog is her statement that Tamra hit her. Tamra did no such thing. She pushed Kelly and quickly walked away.
She shoved Kelly and slapped a phone out of the producers hand who was trying to film. That’s two attacks.
I was a bit shocked with Kelly’s reaction to Heather opening a champagne bottle and bringing Fireball. We all have a history with Fireball. Kelly didn’t drink at our picnic and neither did I.
Heather has never taken a sip of fireball in her life. Nor has she ever carried a flask of liquor to any filming ever. It was a set up. And it failed.
We were all exhausted at the end of our trip. But we had one last dinner and I wanted everyone to rally and have fun! Kelly told us that tequila was an upper when we first landed and were so tired. So that was my drink of choice for the night because I was exhausted along with everyone else! Kelly has never turned a drink down in my recollection. She was drinking a tequila when she was sick at dinner with Tamra and Heather before her beach party. I ordered doubles to get the ball rolling. We were on vacation and I was just trying to end the trip on a high and fun note. Yet Vicki, who had no problem accepting the drinks ordered, said that I had a “mission to get to get Kelly drunk.” Give me a break. No one had an agenda…I didn’t, Tamra didn’t, and Heather didn’t. What I found disturbing is hearing Kelly say that if she has too much to drink, she is going to snap. Not normal.
Lies. All lies. Every bit of it. You practically have a Grey Goose IV going at all times. You did not choose tequila for any other reason than to continue the mission of getting Kelly drunk. And it failed again.
Heather, Tamra and I went to the pub much later, and Tamra texted Vicki to come down. Vicki started to bad mouth Kelly and tell Tamra things that Kelly was saying abut her. Tamra started to text Kelly about it. When we got out of the elevator to go to our room and finish packing, Kelly was literally running down the hallway towards us. It was unsettling. I asked Heather to film it because Kelly was over the top.
No one managed to film any of that. What Heather filmed was the pack of cunts outside Kelly’s door. Kelly crying and Tamra going ballistic because Vicki told her that Kelly called her a “mean girl.” Seriously. That was the horrible thing Kelly said about Tamra. Frankly, it’s the understatement of the season.
As far as the bus ride goes, here we saw the cruel and erratic Kelly we have become familiar with at this point. I had reached an understanding with her on the trip to Ireland, but she decided to convince herself that I somehow had a sinister motive when ordering drinks on our final night to have fun. When she yelled that I needed to take the hair off my chin, I was dumbfounded. Kelly attacks people with the cruelest words she can say. It is so incredibly hurtful. I was beyond upset that Vicki sat there on the bus like nothing happened. Once again, Vicki is not telling the truth and playing both sides of the fence.
That’s not what I saw. I saw a bunch of drunk women ganging up on Kelly.
Tamra
I thought we resolved this in the hallway. Kelly said Vicki lied which didn’t shock me and we left it at that. Heather asked Kelly to “let it go”…but no! Calling Shannon a drunk, telling me I’m not nice, and we attacked her in the hallway. This girl! I never attacked her in the hallway. I just asked her about what Vicki had told me in a calm voice. Then she loses her s***, screaming SHUT UP, yet she was the only one screaming. Telling Shannon to go shave her face was so immature, she really does take things down to low level. Cutting down someone’s physical appearance is just horrible. Then there is Vicki that sits there and acts like she has nothing to do with it. Her big mouth was the reason the fight started.
You are not nice. I’m sure you have been called worse than a mean girl. You are a mean girl. I can’t see how anyone could come away from that hallway thinking any thing had been resolved.
Meghan
It was strange to see Shannon asking for a double for Kelly. I don’t understand why she wanted to get her drunk? Since Kelly has a history of behaving badly when she’s drunk, I believe that she had every reason to feel set up by Shannon. I don’t know if that was the case, but that whole meal felt weird and a little forced. Of course that meal then lead to World War III later that night!
Finally, an objective opinion.
Kelly
As excited as I was to visit Ireland, after Tamra hit me I was suffering from an emotional hangover for the remainder of the trip. Tamra, Shannon and Heather had all turned against me; Vicki was trying to play both sides. She wasn’t acting like the friend I had come to cherish. Thank goodness Meghan continued to act friendly towards me. That made the trip somewhat bearable.
This entire trip seems to be a giant cover up for the fact that Tamra attacked both Kelly and a producer inside the department store. The plan seemed to be to coerce Kelly to do something worse than what Tamra did. It seems that was the plan to save Tamra’s job.
I am naïve sometimes. I thought that if I apologized for what I said, then Tamra would apologize for hitting me and telling me “F*** YOU!” As a life-long Christian, my faith taught me we are supposed to forgive those who trespass against you. I know Tamra claims I test her faith, but as a new convert she doesn’t seem to have learned the most fundamental lesson.
It doesn’t seem prudent for any of the women on these shows to mention their religious morals as they are never on display.
I believe that Tamra embarrassed herself when she hit me, that she, Shannon and Heather were trying to get me seriously drunk then agitate me to the point where I would lose my cool and act badly. They were hoping I would say and do something would make Tamra’s transgression pale in comparison. Too bad I was onto them from the start.
After dinner, I was tired and went back to the room to take a nap before packing to leave. Later that night I met with Vicki in her room. Vicki said she wanted to go to the bar with Tamra and I. We stopped by Tamra’s room and knocked, but she didn’t answer her door. So I went back to my room.
It is interesting to me at this point that Vicki is trying to get Kelly to drink after not drinking all day or at dinner. Also, there were no cameras following the women at this time as production had gone to their rooms to get a few hours sleep before the flight. So Vicki would not be on camera as contributing to the issue.
As you saw in the footage, while I was upstairs resting, Tamra, Shannon, Heather and Vicki went back to the bar and continued to get their drink on. Then, per her MO, Tamra started harassing me over texts. She was trying to cause problems between Vicki and me. She claimed Vicki said I was talking about Tamra behind her back. Later when they left the bar and returned upstairs, the ganging up continued. I left my room to deal with their blame game. However, unlike them, I wasn’t wasted. When Shannon claims that she wanted Heather to video me because I was on an angry rampage, it’s another lie. As you saw, I was despondent and trying to understand what Tamra was accusing me of. At no time did I lose my temper, but I did shed some more tears.
If only you had stayed in your room.
At one point in the episode, Heather said I have a pattern. I say outlandish things and then apologize, admitting that I didn’t mean to say what I said, then ask for forgiveness. Okay, that’s true, but let’s point out Heather’s pattern.
Every time I have conflict with one of the other ladies, Heather decides she has to step in, take charge, and tell me what I can and can’t say, and how to act. She did this at the sushi dinner. She did it again in Ireland on the bus from the department store to the hotel, when she told me to “shut up and turn around.” She tried again during the bus ride back to the airport. Heather’s superiority complex kicks in and she assumes the role of puppet-master.
She calls me insane and says she thinks I am having a psychotic breakdown. Why, because I defend myself from this group who schemed against me? The last time I checked having a drama degree doesn’t qualify you to psychoanalyze anyone. You are a worse shrink than you are an actor.
Heather did not turn in a blog as of yet. I am interested in how she spins her behavior. Shannon says things get a lot worse next week. Heather has said the same. That should make them both very happy. That is exactly what they were going for.
I agree with everything you’re saying. I think RHOC needs a cast overhaul! I truly think that pack of old thirsty cunts are scared Meagan and Kelly are the start of the future cast of the show.
I believe Tamra and Shannon are both trying to do some damage control. Kelly may be caustic when she drinks but that doesn’t mean she’s a liar. Tamra is though. They know they can call Vicki a liar all day long cause they have proof but that doesn’t mean she lies about everything. It’s a shame Vicki took the low road again and tried to get back in that circle of bitches. She should have known she can’t trust them. They are just as bad as Brooks and she really should see a therapist.
They’re all disgusting . After this episode I’m not sure I can continue watching
I am too exhausted to even discuss this anymore. The show is a trainwreck. It was not good casting to put a person who has booze and marital problems on as a wife. They had to know that Kelly had a history. I agree she was grabbed to help Vickie redeem herself. Vickie is a bitch. Self serving wackadoodle. She is gross to watch and hear. Her love tank. Her rubbing all over everything. Now she dumped Kelly. All of them are out of control. I will not be watching next season. So now I am done with NY and the OC. The reality has become trailer trash behavior and women bashing women is awful to watch. I think about all of these women and the fact that their children will see all of this in the future. What the hell are they thinking?
Meghan is smart to leave now. Move back to Missouri. Live among the normal folks. Enjoy your baby. Notice she is the only one that has made any sense the entire time?
Now… vodka for me …debates are happening in 3 minutes. Buckle up folks.
Shannon has it out for Kelly obviously. She set her up at the 70’s party too.
I wonder how pissed Shannon got watching the flash back for Doctor Heather diagnosing her;)? At least Heather is predictable, she needs new lines though.
And Heather’s tone of voice when offering her diagnosis…pure pleasure in the pain/gaslighting of others.
Remember when Heather said she is an MD.. Married to a doctor. Guess she really thinks she can diagnose all?
Shannon and Tamra are delusional and love playing the victim.
The only two who were the victims on that trip were Kelly being set up and Meghan for having to put up with it all.
Shannon is delusional. Tamra is a mean girl and always has been. If she were not cute and blonde, she would be looking at anger management courses like Porsha
Saying Kelly said Tequila is an upper, is beyond ridiculous. Excuses, excuses.
Shannon has moved up in the mean girl ranks; after being the target when she first arrived.
I believed Kelly was sincere with her apologies at the dinner and Tamra showed her stone cold bitch face and couldn’t accept it.
Does the reunion tape this week??
Thanks for all you do Tamara.
I didn’t see the beginning of the episode but Kelly’s blog seems most reflective of what was actually shown. Shannon and Tamra are either delusional or in damage control mode (or both). Heather is as qualified to diagnose a psychotic as I am, which is not at all.
I really want to cut off that finger Heather is so fond of waving and pointing.
Goodness,yes! That finger is insulting.Heather claims to be right all the time, but it is very poor manners to point.
She is looking worse all the time. I finally understand her friendship with Tamra.
I admit I checked the blogs earlier myself….I love your purple pen!
What I got out of all of the blogs is that they are ultimately blaming Vicki for everything…except Kelly, she lays the blame at the Cunt a Trois.
These “Bitches by Bravo” HW blogs make steam come out of my ears. Do they (the conspirators) really believe that they looked any kind of okay in the last episode? Or ever?
I know Kelly is abrasive and can be crude, especially when she’s had some drinks, which is the main reason she grated on my nerves. But what did she do to them personally to warrant what they were planning to do with her? Because their revenge plan was a bit much, even for someone like Tamra.
Yes, her comments about Heather’s ethnic/religious background and Tamra’s parenting were uncouth and unnecessary, but they pale in comparison to this kind of deliberate scheming and malice.
Is Kelly the new Luanne?
Agree, Minky. Kelly is crude and abrasive, but one thing she doesn’t share in common with the other women is that she doesn’t lie. Kelly’s version of what happened on her blog parallel with what we actually saw on this past week’s episode.
When Tamra recapped the episode, she stressed how hard it must have been for Kelly to be away in a foreign country, far away from home, and being shunned by the other women. even her ‘so-called’ friend, Vicki. Had they been at a party, restaurant, or someone’s home in the OC, one could get up and leave. To be stuck with four women who were out to ruin your vacation and what appears a plan to get rid of Kelly from the show, she was left with only Meghan who seemed to intentionally isolate herself from the other ladies or brought Kelly with her while the other women shunned her and Tamra so she wouldn’t get in further trouble after hitting Kelly and knocking the phone away from the producer.
What happened in that clothing store is the crux to what really transpired. I believe Tamra hit Kelly and I would bet she smacked her on her face. I also believe that Tamra shoved production when she was trying to knock the phone of his hand.
I have always wondered how Tamra and Heather became such good friends. The alliance seemed like a strange one to me, but what ties these women together is their mean-girl behavior. Tamra tried to resurrect her soul to the viewers last year with her baptism and Heather was able to pull it off for a while with her money and fancy-pants guise. In the absence of their husbands on this trip, no one was able to check them and they were unable to hide wh they really are; mean, vacuous bullies
Agreed, Minky & Matzah!!!!!!!
Lets have a new Bravo show, Housewife Island. Lets throw a bunch of them on a deserted island with limited supplies and may the strongest survive. Then whoever wins , they can be put on a sailboat in the Atlantic during hurricane season.
Oh, Tamra would survive for sure. Little powerhouse. I just can’t with her anymore.
Chin hair is a part of aging. When did mentioning it become cruelty?
Right? Last season Shannon was a-ok with talking about her failed colonic and David’s having to “go in” after it (Yuck) but is all aghast at the mention of her chin hair? More false outrage, which is the bread and butter of the HW’s shows these days.
Did anyone catch when Shannon told Kelly that she could look as good as her at 52 if she doesn’t have any “physical alterCations”?Freudian?
Yep!! So dumb!
Jesus Christ I’m going to have to rewatch. I think Kelly got what she’s given period. Shannon is way too obvious in her reprisals, she has plenty of people to do her dirty work, she should let them. Kelly Dodd is the hateful bully. She got it thrown back at her, the end. Yes as a Christian you should accept apologies I guess but when do you take a look at your own behavior that causes you to apologize? It’s the mean Brandi Granville syndrome, get drunk, be highly inappropriate, apologize, repeat.
ITA. Kelly’s big hateful pie hole should stay shut. It is like Brandi and her drunk trash mouth. Kelly’s playing the victim appears very practiced. She does not get that what she says, ALL, the time is appalling. No Heather fan but I would have told kelly to sit down and stfu also. Kelly hasn’t begun to own up to how ugly and offensive she gets. Are the others bitches too? Yes. But Kelly is every bit as bad if not worse.
I want to see next week’s’ show before I make a judgment. Do believe Tamra wanted to CYA after the department store mess. I think the reunion is being filmed tomorrow.
I believe Tamra also said she would kill Kelly after she hit her in the department store . So I fully believe that Tamra, Shannon , and Heather came up w the plan to get Kelly drunk hoping she would do something more aggregious than hit someone and threaten to kill them in an attempt to safeguard the faux Christians Tamras job .
It was very poor timing on Heathers part to participate in this fuckery since she has a book she is pushing w her hubby and there seems to be major backlash against the three of them for their bullying of Kelly. Heathers low base bully shit bullying did not sit well apparently with the masses that like to tweet
That is the worst thing about the HWs phenomenon – their horrible behavior never seems to impact their merchandising.
This may be a dumb question, but when a particular cast member suggests and sets up one of these trips, exactly what part do they play in planning the trip? I’m assuming Bravo picks up the tab, but does the person have anything at all to do with planning and how is the person designated “trip planner” get chosen for that season’s adventure?
I’ve always wondered this myself! I assume they do very little. Whoever is chosen seems to Lord it over the others. I remember the trip the ladies from NY took to Morocco and how imperious LuAnn was, acting as if she has planned the whole trip and admonishing Ramona and Sonja for showing up to dinner late.
The fighting back then now seems so tame in comparison to the current season.
I personally am getting tired of all the screaming, plotting, and cruel behavior displayed on all of the housewives shows. I used to watch for some mindless entertainment to escape real life for an hour. Now it just stresses me out and causes my anxiety issues to surface. The shows have just gotten way out of hand. I felt like I needed a shower after the last episode. It was just gross.
Amen!
I Know! Why can’t they have fun? I still enjoy all the scenery shots between scenes.
These women bore me. The only thing that got my attention was the mention of Fireball.
I read that if you mix it with cream soda, it tastes like a Cinnabon roll. On ice.
*Hic*
Or if you mix it with RumChata it tastes like Cinnamon Toast Crunch! It also makes a pretty decent fall shot on some ice 🙂
I don’t think there is another franchise that has had more interaction on social media with former housewives taking sides, etc. Also, the “mean girls” click on RHOC never expected Kelly to be so lethal with her words, and I think it really threw them. They hate that she says the things that they have deemed to be “taboo.” They think they are appointed censors for what a person can and cannot say about them and I have news for these broads, Kelly ain’t listening. Haaa!
On the subject of chin hair…my eyebrows got up and moved down to my chin. If someone would have said something about my chin hairs I would have cracked up laughing. I do try to pluck and shave at least once a week. I wonder what remedy Dr Moon will have for chin hair problems. Maybe there is a special crystal that Shannon could put under her pillow.
Tamra did threaten to kill Kelly and pushed her. Tamra is scary and needs to see Dr Heather about her anger management.
Kelly needs to count to 10 before she speaks, she loses her temper and that causes her to lose her point. I really don’t care for anyone on the show anymore.
Bring back Lizzie, the doe eyed woman and her mom, the raven haired woman from RHOBH,give Kelly and Meagan another chance. A nice season of shopping, eating,outings and fabulous vacations. No bad behavior, just the well off behaving well,and tiny bit of drama but nothing vicious. We all need a break from the hateful housewives of Orange County.
I love it when the purple pen rears its pointed tip and commences to pick apart the the skewed perspectives of these pampered princesses.
Purple Pen’s are my favorite posts! Thanks for the dissection. Hope you are feeling better.
I had my fingers crossed you’d pull out the purple pen! Agree 100%!
Fancy the day that Meghan is the voice of reason and clearly the most sane on the show. Who would have thought it. Maybe it’s the hormone change that has caused her to be different. I may live to regret this statement but maybe the other girls should take a page out of her book as far S this trip is concerned. I think the abuse of alcohol is one of the biggest problems with these women. If you noticed the one sober person is the only one who made the most out of the trip enjoying the scenery the people and the atmosphere.
If there was any doubt that Kelly was set-up at Shannon’s party with those two “career girls” that claimed to be Shannon’s friends – well it’s more obvious than ever with the disgusting and shady behaviour of Shannon, Tamra and Heather trying to get Kelly drunk.
As an American I’m so embarrassed the way the group of them acted the whole trip. With the exception of Meghan.
Did Bravo book the whole wing at the hotel? I couldn’t help but think about the other guests sleeping, or trying to sleep, with this group of horribles screaming in the hallway in the middle of the night.
Me too, UGH, awful. Sometimes I’ve crossed paths with other traveling Americans and they’ve admitted that they were passing themselves off as Canadians. So they wouldn’t be associated with previous mouth-breathing guests.
And it was so beautiful there; gimme misty fog, green rolling hills, good music and a local beer. Heaven.
Is there anything more pathetic and a horny old bag with crooked nipples rubbing herself all over the locals? Vicki is gross.
I had to switch channels at that point. I was embarrassed for her. I’m all for having fun and I’m not a prude but there was a certain ick factor to all that!
I had to burn out my eyes with Draino after witnessing Vicki jiggling all over that man. Pathetic is an understatement.
A couple times, which I’m sure we will hear again, is Tamra saying “oh it’s just for good t.v.” Andy has given her dirty looks so the reunion should be interesting if she pulls the same card.
Great purple pen and recap of that awful episode of complete awfulness. You have a way of cutting through the bull that makes it all clear. Other than that I have no comment to make because, I think exactly what you said. Thanks TT 😘
The Andy Cohen/Bravo TV laws
1.Housewives + ETOH = Apocolyptic Disaster
2. Housewives + Foreign Country = Embarrassment
3. Best Friends will always become enemies in a following season.
4.Enemies will become allies when a younger/prettier/richer housewife is brought into the show.
5. Andy Cohen is a misogynist
Vickie disgusts me that she has a nice man back home sending her roses but is touching every man in Ireland whether they’re married or not. If some old lady did that to my husband I would half laugh at her patherticness and half be furious at her lack of respect for any person and any boundaries. I can’t believe how spot on Kelly’s blog was.
Vicki was the same in Ireland as she was in Mexico without Donn. Remember “My boobs want to come out and play.” Good gawd.
Vickie is kinda egocentric and insecure at the same time. I guess I’ve seen that in people before. Like if they have any weight loss or self improvemen at all, they become arrogant and over inflated ego wise so easily. I hope she doesnt have that issue of, if the guy is nice she’s going to walk all over him. This new guy is very cute and sure seems better than Brooks was. I never liked Brooks, and I knew no good would ever come of anything with him. He seemed a cold stone predater with a charming southern accent. What another poster wrote was so true about the drinking causing so many problems and ruining the trip. And yes the better people do not last as much on these shows.
Vickie probably sent herself the flowers as she bought herself the fur coat from brooks ! She needs to feel lived at all times and wants others to know she’s loved . She is, in a nutshell ,a lot of work !
perras sucias
The dirtiest!!!!
Vicki: Cara de mil putasos.
Tamra should seriously consider traveling with that weights-trainer woman, her “spiritual guide”. Keep her in her pocket like a tampon, hold her up like a crucifix before Tamra opens her mouth. Because that’s the only person she seems interested in impressing with her pseudo christianity. Kelley is pretty cutting with the tongue but Tamra showed her true self with the first Naked Gate.
First.. Thanks TT for PP on their blogs. They are all liars. Kelly included. Yes, it was an obvious setup.
Did Kelly deserve it?
I think the women were fed up with Kelly saying trash to them , apologizing and then saying more trash.Kelly has memory issues when she drinks…A lot of people do.Did they gang up on her? Yes.
Sad to see her best buddy Vick offering no support..but she was warned.
I find Kelly’s comments about Heather’s finger laughable considering the first thing Kelly does is interject her open hand into any conversation and say ” I have done nothing to you”
Let’s get to reunion and end this crap show.
They are all gross. Kelly included. Tammy got scared that she hit pushed slapped people. Remember how she admitted she was after she threw wine at Geena, or whatever that lady’s name is? She thought she’d be fired AND arrested. They definitely decided to get Kelly drunk and do something worse. If someone calls Tamara a mean girl she should take it as a compliment, because she knows she is so much more horrible. Heather is an unclassy pretentious fool.
Not one of the women on most of the housewives shows would I want as a “friend”. ..or purchase
anything they hawk.
It’s a show…They are all using it to promote their wares. Did see that Vicki is selling autographed photos. Wonder how that is going? WHich version of Vicki? Maybe if she was selling Boob pic’s?
I don’t know.. It’s just my opinion.
I have found watching Meghan very interesting. She’s really evolved on the show. In the beginning I thought she was a but vapid. Then she very clearly and concisely went about proving Brooks cancer was nonexistent. This season she’s doing things like saying she’s not feeling well to avoid a potential dinner where she knows they are setting Kelly up. She may just be more classy and smarter than all of them. I wasn’t a Meghan fan either.
I’m thinking only the very gross women become the OG of these shows. Decent people come and go in a season or two. Can’t handle the low life antics. I’m with a a lot of commenters. Bring back those who will raise the bar a bit.
Thanks TT! You aren’t the only one disgusted with this episode. I was too! I watched halfway, paused it and went back to it a few days later to finish out. Waste of my time. I say that because I felt icky after watching how they did Kelly. I know she gets crazy when she drinks but Man to see Vicky not even stick up for her, Wow, I’m really not liking Her after last week and this weeks episode. Tamara well she should just be off the show completely. I fast fwd all her scenes, she is truly a Mean Girl no doubt. She gets insulted being called that but I can’t even imagine ANY of her daughters being Mean Girls! At least I hope not… Heather, Shannon and her should really not be asked to go back. Geeeez! New blood, OC Ladies having fun.
THIS show is toast!
I am watching Notorious like you recomended and like it thus far!
Have a great nite!
Heather and Shannon came off awful — Heather is an untrustworthy phony and Shannon is just loud and annoying always sort of barking words. I find Heather really creepy. This whole pushing alcohol thing is insane and weird. Kelly is not my favorite. At times, I felt sorry for her but I think she’s crazy and unstable. I realize I don’t like Heather at all. These shows one season a person is one way and the next season Kelly will be in with the clique and be mean to the new girl. That bus ride looks like a train wreck ride to crazy town. I’m not in the mood for this level of abusive explosive anger. I watched this ep because I am sick with a bad cold and couldn’t sleep. I hate being sick. I do feel sorry for Kelly she was ganged up on but she is missing a few marbles.
Is it ok that Tamara pushed Kelly? Absolutely not. But both of her physical attacks (wine on Jeanna and pushing Kelly) had to do with the distressful circumstances surrounding her ex. While I think Bravo should make her go to anger management, I can understand the shove more than the behavior after. Kelly sucks. You don’t need to set her up.
So the years ago divorce made her push Kelly and slap the producer?
Hahaha, TT!!!
Also as far as I see it Ireland was like Rhony game night. Heather, Shannon and Tamra acted like psycho bitches, but let’s not turn Kelly into a martyr here like we did Brandi. We can feel bad for her and think it was unjust without acting like she’s this amazing person
Bitter orange is an acquired taste.
Well… This is all very confusing. I don’t understand how anyone could have an ounce of sympathy for the monster who is Kelly Dodd. She’s a horrible person on so many levels… I just can’t…
That being said, I agree with everyone who is talking about what a disaster this & every other franchise has become. And Andy is 100% to blame. I think in real life Shannon is hilarious (I love that she & Jeff Lewis are friends and I can’t imagine how much fun it would be to hang out with both of them- the sarcasm would be on another level.) but she’s awful on the show- just like the others are- because they KNOW they have to try to ambush each other & set each other up & cause as much drama as possible or else they’ll lose their contract and their paycheck. No one wants to see forced drama. If it happens organically- fine. But this is just stupid now.
I wish the Housewives would be a show about how “the other side” lives. We don’t get to see “rich people problems” anymore because they have lowered themselves to white trash standards. It’s gross. Nobody wants to see it. Production setups are so obvious. These women start fights on purpose because they think that’s what we want. It is not. For now i’ll stick to Below Deck and Million Dollar Listing and… anything other than the housewives. Well, it was fun while it lasted.
I don’t think it’s really about sympathy for anyone. Yeah, Kelly’s behavior is not okay, but she’s a grown ass woman who can handle her own shit. I think this is more about fair play. None of these women are very nice people. Most of them have very few redeemable qualities. At least not while they’re on TV.
But I do believe there is a difference between name-calling, which is what Kelly did, and plotting to put someone in a seriously dangerous situation by covertly plying them with large amounts of alcohol, which is what ALL of the others were trying to do, except Meghan.
None of them have owned up to it, from what I’ve seen. Kelly has no choice but to own up to her name-calling. It’s on film. The fact that the others were not caught on film while they were in the planning stages of this, and they refuse to admit what was going on, tells me that they know how badly they fucked up.
We have yet to see how much worse this will get in the next episode. I shudder to think.
Thanks, Minky – well-said!!! If these were a group of men, plotting to get Kelly drunk for nefarious reasons, would we be discussing how awful Kelly is/was??? The women’s behaviour was deplorable – ahem, reprehensible – period & without exception!!! These aren’t teenagers, dammit & even then, NOONE deserves to be treated like this.
P.S. I have to begrudgingly admit, Meghan was a decent human being on this trip… burns, doesn’t it?!?
Ive always “liked” Meghan being on the Show. Big fan of verbal skills. Is it confirmed that she’s leaving?
As always, LOVE the purple pen!
Personally I think Shannon is CRAZY and Tamara thinks her stuff doesn’t stink. I am considering not watching the show anymore. Tamara claims to be so religious, but she has no idea what religion really is. I’m sick of her cussing and being so two faced. To much fussing going on’
Thanks but my shit does in fact stink. Alot. Especially on an organic diet.
Personally, after watching the level that these hairy chinned women will go to in order to climb(or dive) the social ladder, I have developed a number of social challenges that could be specifically branded as an income opportunity for the right kind of upwardly mobile puppet, puppet masters or the thing that is in control by moving puppet masters. I would be willing to help any of these women disperse their disposable income while developing the plot of a new kind of reality show where the puppet masters are controlled by the puppet! GROUND BREAKING COMEDY ENSUES!!! All the while the audience is entertained by watching the World consumed by itself as Earth’s inhabitants continue to pretend that we are not our own worst enemy!!! dont pass chaka khan…
