This one is going to be a bit slow because I’m exhausted from my last-minute Halloween endeavors that I will catch you up on in the Halloween post when I get the chance.
We start in St. Louis at what they are calling Jim and Meghan’s “second house in St. Louis. It’s actually their first house where they primarily live. Now that Meghan is having a baby she seems to be having it there and I believe she will not sign a contract for another season and live happily in St. Louis with her baby happy as a clam. At least I hope so. I liked her this season and I don’t want her to stay so long as to become like the other monsters she works with.
On the other hand this is the dumbest scene ever. Didn’t we already go through the whole thing where they lost their only male egg and the female is the only one left? Am I mixing this up with some of the many other in vitro processes that I know way too much information about? Why are we cutting open a cake to find out the gender with Meghan’s mother, father and her sister. I just realized they live in St. Louis too, so she is definitely not coming back to Orange County. It’s kind of a shame with her redemption arc this season, but at least she is leaving with her head held high.
Vicki
I’m trying to stop liking Vicki but I just can’t. Perhaps by the end of the episode? I see her and I just know she is going to do stupid shit. And it’s funny. I have no problem disliking Brianna. She is meeting Brianna and Michael and Brianna’s interior designer. Who needs an interior designer when they are supposed to be a nurse with health problems. There is nothing to design yet. Who doesn’t want to pick out their own furnishings? I do not get this.
Vicki talks with Brianna again about Tamra. Brianna decides she is going to have to be the buffer between them at the finale. Vicki talks about staging the house. Noe. You stage an empty house with other people’s furniture to sell it. You furnish your own damn house.
Shannon
David is so pussy whipped that I think the whatever happened that made Shannon call the cops and have him arrested must have been just some sort of straw that broke the camel’s back explosion. Shannon and David talk about how horrible Vicki is for being such a liar. She may be horrible but she didn’t lie about these two. There are police reports.
The Finale Party
This must be epic be cause we are going straight to it after only 15 minutes of the episode. Kelly and Meghan are going together. Kelly is getting along a lot better with Michael that makes me happy. Meghan was freaked out by Heather’s insane drunken whispering to her about Kelly on the bus to the airport in Ireland. She held her face while whispering hateful things about Kelly for a creepily long time.
The chin hair insult really got to everyone. Myself included. Shannon says that Meghan and Tamra both came home and shaved their face. Eddie who is not gay, picked out a lovely pair of Louis Vuitton heels for Tamra. Just like every straight man in America, he did an excellent job. When Tamra asks him for help deciding between a dress he dutifully follows her to her closet while joking, “I dunno, you’d have to ask a gay guy.” I think a bi one would work in a pinch also.
In the car ride over with Terry, Heather says that she heard that Kelly doesn’t think she owes anyone an apology because she was ganged up on. Heather says that is a joke. It was actually to me, the worst instance of bullying (and I don’t use the term loosely) I have ever seen. I have taught many a lesson on bullying and this would be the perfect tape to roll to teens or adults on the subject. There were the bullies and the bystanders and the victim. And people were afraid to stand up to the bullies. And the bullies were drunk out of their minds. Vicki’s bystander comment about being afraid to speak up or she would be next in is the “teaching about bullies 101 handbook.” Oh and every week Heather has told the people who are pummeling her in social media that next week’s episode will exonerate her from her horrific behavior. Heather says she has seen who they are now. And Heather, we have seen who you are now. And it ain’t pretty.
Vicki has written cards to some if not all of the bullies apologizing and begging for forgiveness.
It’s time for the bulima party! Finally. We have been in the car on the way for a full fifteen minutes of the show. Shannon’s rental is stunning. Tamra eats two Krispy Kremes as soon as she sees them.
The three witches gossip about Vicki. Tamra talks about her sending a video of Eddie coming up to congratulate her on her win and she says she wanted to send back a reply that said simply, #NotSoGay. Vicki gives Shannon a hostess gift with a card with her apology. Tamra lies to Vicki and says she didn’t get the video. Shannon tells us in confessional that whatever Vicki has to say she can say to her face. All three women shun her. Which is fine, Vicki deserves it.
Since Vicki is being shunned she chats with Meghan and Kelly when they come in. Did Meghan just say she is thinking of “Hallow” for a baby name?
I cannot understand why the three witches feel like THEY are owed an apology. Did they black out and not remember their behavior? Didn’t Tamra literally spit in Vicki’s face? Heather is beyond offended that Kelly is not going to apologize to her. For what? Kelly was sober and trying to sleep on the bus and Heather berated her with her witchy index finger poking the air in Kelly’s personal space. I don’t understand this sense of sanctimony. Oh apparently it is because Kelly said that Jews are usually funny and Heather has no sense of humor.
Meghan talks to the witches and says she did hang out with Kelly and she thinks Kelly wants to apologize for being mean. Then Heather said Kelly thinks she was being ganged up on. Meghan says, well she was. Shannon continues to deny the multiple times she set Kelly up this season. I was willing to consider that some were a coincidence but the Mrs. Roper party was Shannon’s first set up and the drink ordering in Ireland was another no doubt about it set up. Meghan tells Heather that Kelly thinks she was meddling. Meghan says she agrees with Kelly and she likes Kelly. YES! Meghan is a bystander no more.
Tamra starts giving out gifts. She starts with Kelly, who she assaulted in Ireland. She says so remember when ” I like kinda pushed you and the cops almost came? ” Flashback to Heather saying to Kelly because of what just happened with you an Tamra I was thrown out of the store. Kelly says, “She hit me.” Heather says, ” I don’t care.” How is it Kelly’s fault Tamra assaulted TWO people in the department store? Tamra gives her a t-shirt that has sort a mugshot of her with the charge of “public drunkeness.” Kelly laughs it off. Kelly does have an alcohol problem but we’ve had many more season’s about Tamra’s alcohol issues. Shannon is mad the Kelly was not offended by the shirt. Everyone got them. Heather’s said “Being too fancy” or something mild and you can tell she is not amused even though she cackles. Tamra has one for Vicki that she thinks is really going to hurt her. She is drinking alone with her new man. Vicki’s says her charge is lying. She laughs it off.
Kelly tries to make amends with Shannon over her “miscommunication.” No Kelly. Don’t soft pedal this one. In fact don’t make amends with this bitch. She started it, you finished it. She pushed you over and over for days in a foreign country where you had few safe harbors and you lashed out with something mean. But they were facts. So fuck her. I have no doubt she did tell Vicki that. As I restart the show, it seems Shannon is more offended by the hairy chin comment. I should point out that is also true. Shannon admitted as much when she was whining about the comment in an earlier confessional.
See? I knew this was a mistake for Kelly. Shannon is just being a giant cunt all over again. She says something about the lies that Kelly told and WHOOSH. Kelly throws Vicki under the bus. Kelly and Shannon go back and forth and Kelly brings up the first set up at the Mrs. Roper party. Heather jumps in for no damn reason and Kelly asks her why she is always the interloper getting involved in things that don’t concern her. Kelly dear, that is because it’s a reality show and that is Heather’s role, cunt. Head cunt if you ask Heather.
Meanwhile the men are all sitting together horrified by what they are seeing. And I am really starting to like Michael who is sitting there watching his wife ready to step in if necessary but so far staying out of it.
Kelly mentions that Heather told everyone she is having a psychotic break. Heather says she still believes that. Heather is a moron and a bully. Heather has the worst mental health of all of them. Heather spouts all sorts of shit at Vicki. Vicki doesn’t want to come to Kelly’s rescue, not that she needs it she is holding her own. Vicki says she is going to the restroom. Heather in the voice of Satan says to Vicki, “Don’t move.”
What the holy fuck?
I replayed what Heather said to Vicki back three times and still didn’t understand it but things are rather, um, festive in the ghetto at the moment.
Tamra tells Vicki she needs to stop talking about people. Vicki says, “likewise.” Tamra acts as though she has never talked about any of these women. They all do, but Tamra denies it. Tamra is screaming at Vicki saying that she talks about other people’s men because she dated a douchebag. Vicki says “I did.”
The men, bad daughter etc are all watching this like a spectator sport.
Things break apart and Vicki has had enough of the drama and is ready to leave with her man. Shannon runs to tell Tamra she is leaving. Tamra doesn’t give a shit, but apparently Shannon does. Shannon stops Vicki from leaving and says she was told (production) that she was going to make an apology to her today. Vicki says she has. It was in the card. Vicki says I’m sorry but I’m not going to be accused of lying anymore. The joke is off. Vicki has had enough drinks and ridicule to be in Saddy McSadderson mode. Shannon says that she realized on the bus ride that she was back in bed with the devil. Vicki is spent. She just wants to go home with her man. She says she is not the devil and she worries about Shannon (subtext with David). Shannon says she and David just renewed their vows, but when her kids who used to call her Aunt Vicki, are involved, that is where she draws the line. Vicki is one sad sack of potatoes when she apologizes for that. Shannon says they are done. Vicki says fine. She leaves quietly.
Then after Shannon telling Vicki they are done forever, she goes to the next housewife, this time Heather to tell her that Vicki is leaving. Why? The bitches hate her why do they keep talking about how she always leaves? She left because she wasn’t wanted there. She fulfilled her contract and left.
Aw, I love Michael. Kelly asks if he was watching out for her. He says he was and he was ready to step in, but the didn’t have to. These two are talking about renewing their vows.
Shannon, Heather and Tamra are still cunts.
Meghan is “contemplating” a move back to St. Louis. Newsflash, she is already there. She has escaped the cunts.
Briana, the cunt daughter does not want to leave and she goes to talk to Tamra. Tamra agrees to talk to Vicki for Briana. Production must have held Vicki up for this. God I hate Brianna. Another Brianna confessional where she does not take her mother’s side. Tamra goes out to talk to Vicki. Vicki apologizes for telling Kelly the rumor that has been all over the Internet since he first appeared on the show that Eddie is gay. She should not have repeated gossip. She has never once retracted her statement that Eddie cheats on her and Tamra has never pushed that issue. Then Tamra wants to bring up David beating Shannon. Vicki says once again that she is worried about Shannon. Tamra storms off calling Vicki a bitch and says she doesn’t have to worry about Shannon. Who knows Shannon better, Vicki or Tamra? In the limo, Vicki tells her horrid daughter that Tamra doesn’t know what she knows. She also says she is ready to move on. Do you think Vicki will quit too?
HA! Tamra’s endnote was “Tamra has not spoken to Vicki in six months. And Eddie is still NOT GAY.
Vicki’s endnote was: Vicki and Steve are still together. Brianna has been diagnosed with Lupus and Ryan is still in Oklahoma where the wind comes rushing through he plains.
And with that it ends again.
I hate all of these people. Thanks for your recaps.
Kelly on WWHL tonight was bizarre. How did those trolling callers keep getting through? The finale was a bore. Heather telling Vicki “Don’t Move” was horrid. “bye Felicia, if you don’t like me. Then get off MY show!!” – Granny Vicki
Those calls got through due to when they screened them they said They were going to ask a certain question that would be approved but when the caller got through they asked a whole different question.That’s what I read on Kelly’s Twitter. Tamra can’t get out of it either she knew everything about it. What I read was text messages from Tamra to someone else about making calls to WWHL She knew what was going on. This wasn’t just one person trying to get through it was a group of people. That’s the way I understood it. It was mean and it WAS was malicious.
So many things to comment on but wow, Brianna, what an ungrateful daughter. I would never sit by and let someone attack and berate my mother like that, TV show or not. She doesn’t realize she’s being played by Tamra, she’s the real puppet master of the OC, Kelly got it wrong. All the evil and trouble on the show (for the last 9 seasons) started w/ Tamra. Horrid woman.
I think the core of what Brianna had to say about Vicki was spot on – but it was (a) too little too late – you didn’t call her on this the first what, 9 seasons, and (b) I might call my mom on her shit – but not in front of others. I can say what I want about my mom, but Ill fucking cut a bitch if they say it about her.
Tamra has always responded that that is what she is paid for in the past when she’s been accused of being the shit stirrer. To a degree – that is true. But now she’s fucking confusing. How were those t-shirts Christian? They weren’t funny either.
THIS THIS THIS! A THOUSAND TIMES THIS! My mom is three sheets to the wind looney toons, but she’s MY mom. I can call her batshit crazy but will use that bat like Lucille on anyone else who tries!! And ESPECIALLY wouldn’t allow it for a paycheck.
I think Briana calls her mom out because she knows her mom immediately plays the victim with everyone else. I think she does it out of love, and knowing she is potentially the only person who can get through to her. I like Vickis relationship with Briana and her grandsons.
Totally agree Erica! My sentiments exactly. I can disagree and argue etc with my own mother but I would NEVER sit there and let anyone berate her like that! That was really uncomfortable to watch Brianna just stand there and smirk. And Tamra’s pathetic T-shirt “joke” fell flat. They were ugly shirts.
Even if my mom was a total asshole, I would never have the heart to drag her on TV like Brianna loves to do. ESPECIALLY if she was funding my lifestyle I would show a little respect. She’s a total spoilt brat.
I’m against corporal punishment. But if there ever was a child who’s earned a good, old fashioned ass whoopin’…
I cannot for the life of me see why people love Tamra, she is one of the most soulless and devious cunts ever to be birthed. I really think these 3 assholes set this up to take over the show, they want Vickie out of the way and to be in charge! Vickie is not and has not been my favorite person, how she threw Jeana over for the likes of Tamra made me question who she was, but how she has been treated this season has turned my stomache.
Yes I believe that these three showed their true color this season. Shannon’s still on the cheating kick. That’s all she has to offer. Then going out of town for the night but managed to pack for a whole week to Mexico. And didn’t have a clue? Yeah right. Then Heather has nothing at all except personal gain the book etc. Tamra now that the competition is over? Nothing. Shannon tried to set Kelly up several times. It was real noticeable at the 70s party. Heather was so embarrassed at the restaurant that night because she told Kelly to leave and she said no. Then Tamra has an attitude that she doesn’t even need to bring up Christian. Really?? Then what was Brianna thinking has she lost her mind? Vicki has tried to do good things this season the rest have went way down. These women are not Vicki’s friends. Run Vicki run. I’ve watched for years if Vicki goes so will I.
I have hated her since she turned on Gretchen way back when. Hate her more now. If that cunt comes back next season, I’m out.
I have read pro-Vicki comments and pro-Beth comments, but I have never read a pro-Tamra comment.
I’ve never really understood why all the women kow tow to Tamra, but they do say, sociopaths are often popular and charming and really good at what they do. Theyre pros at lining people up to take their side, and to control the narrative. Theyre also meab and scarey. I thought it was very low class to invite Vickie, and then punish her and give her the cold shoulder when she got there. Dont invite her then. And yes, Tamra is using Breanna to hurt Vickie. Breanne is probably falling for it too, because her mom has hurt her many times . I had a major falling out with a neighbor I used to be friends with, and when her mom attempted to still try and be friendly to me afterwards, I was careful and friendly back, but didn’t encourage it, or bad mouth her daughter. As much as I came to loathe that woman, that was her mother after all. Im not going to stoop that low and go down to that level. She was the type to take advantage of any and all ways to hurt and humiliate me. I was glad to see Kelly appreciate Michael, she needs to realize she’s lucky to have a nice supportive well to do husband. I dont care what you look like, that’s not a given and not in these times. I think any time your behaviour changes alot and gets real nasty, that’s indicative of an alcohol problem. So besides Kelly, Tamra has an alcohol problem. She lost control very badly in Ireland, because she was drinking. No excuse justifies it, and none of her friends are being honest or showing integrity about that, or anything she does. Heather has allways had her nose so far up Tamra’s ass, it’s sickening. She’s one horrid piece of work, and had lost any shred of honor. I was proud of Meaghen and she looked radient. Those three awful ladies are probably jealous of her.
Thanks for the recap, TT. What a hateful bunch. Brianna is going to need her mother with a lupus diagnosis and a hologram husband. What a stupid bitch.
Hologram Husband…bahahahaha
Spot on Lisamia. That husband’s a jerk. Brianna sure has great taste in men. Ew.
Shannon, Heather and Tamra are still cunts.
And yes, Eddie IS GAY!!
Love ya, TT!! ❤️
Wasn’t he roommates with a gay man when he met Tamara? I’m not saying that makes him gay, but unless you work in the business or Broadway, most straight men I know wouldn’t room with gay men. All the PDA is another clue…oh, and hours of sex to Lady Gaga. I DON’T CARE BUT I HATE CLOSET GAYS THAT LIE..especially to their wife
..
Vicki will not leave & if Bravo didn’t let her go after the Brooks escapade they never will.
Holy hell, Shannon is pregnant? This is probably why they renewed their vows!! I know it can be done, but she is 50. But so is Janet Jackson. Maybe this is why she has been so bitchy and emotional. I missed the show !! I have to go catch it and I’ll be back.
I think TT ment to type Meghan and she typed Shannon. I don’t think another child would grow in her cold dead womb
Thanks dear. It felt so good to call my Mom and tell her that Shannon is NOT pregnant. She was here last night and she makes me read TT’s posts ALOUD TO HER and as soon as I got to that part, I was screaming! She was calm as a bubble-bath and looked at me like I was a moron for not knowing because she “knew weeks ago” and “saw her baby bump and weight gain.” Sorry Ma. She just got fluffy.
Thanks I just came in to see where the hell LisaPat got that idea. I am really bad with names lately.
Omg I’m so glad this was a typo! My Mom was here last night and she said to me “I knew it all along. I knew it when she started gaining weight in the face!”
Vicki got what was coming to her. She thinks she can say and do whatever she wants because she is the OG. Vicki was horrid to Brianna when she was sick. Brianna is now the mother in that relationship and longs for a real mother. Vicki is no one to respect, mother or not. Looks to me that Kelly was out bullied for once and she didn’t like it. She is vicious and nasty.
Concur 100%. This is the only show I disagree w TT on, Vicki loves her daughter but Brianna nailed her mom, she will lie, play dirty and make shit up. Oh and how about the Cancer LIES?
I’ve had my fill of Kelli. She’s not funny, she’s cruel. A slap and a kiss.
I’m not watching the same show as everyone else I guess, I think Heather and TJ held restraint with Kelli. Shannon had to know a police report would be public knowledge, I’m thinking the story was embellished because she’s got Davids balls in her back pocket.
I agree with you. I’ve always said, Vicki and Briana have a loving relationship, but that involves Briana calling her on her shit, and yes, they are on reality show. Vicki tries to spin every situation with her as the hapless victim, someone has to give her solid advice and call her out. Frankly, Briana has the more level head of the two, and she’s said with all the poor choices her mother has made (especially with men) she’s had to step in many times to protect her. I think the roles are rather reversed.
Kelly is nails on a chalkboard to me. I can stand any of the rest of the women more than her. I need her off the show with her whining, pathetic, anger problems. you cannot say such low things about people then say you didn’t mean them, you did. You do it repeatedly. A mistake is once, several times is a pattern and she’s done it every time. Heather has always been uptight, but dammit, Kelly is trash. I agreed with her.
As far as the Megan baby thing, I don’t think they knew which of the two eggs implanted was lost. They just knew one was, they didn’t know the sex of the baby that didn’t take, so that’s why they had the gender reveal cake. They knew one baby stayed, but not which sex it was until further along.
I agree! I think a lot of Brianna’s refusal to accept Vicki’s lies comes from the fact that she knew her mom was cheating on Donn with Brooks. Donn was the only father Brianna had and I think she’s still lashing out from that. I know she addressed it on one of the reunions but I can’t remember which one! (menopause brain!)
In my Bethenny Frankel voice: “So what David beats his wife, have you met her who wouldn’t beat her so what like kill me now.” If everyone has such a problem with Vicki they should take Heather’s advice and please leave. Bring Gretchen back to replace Shannon.
Sometimes I get so mad at my mom that I tell her to shut the hell up in my head. I am 34 and my mom is 65. I would never, never actually say that to her because, while sometimes frustrating, my mother is always there and ultimately supporting of me and my family. I don’t understand how a daughter can just stand there and not defend their mother. Even if your mother is wrong, when someone gets in her face, it is over. I would wait until the cameras were off and then punch Tamara in the face. How can you be nice to someone that gets in your mother’s face like that?
well someones daughter has to talk to Tamra since her own refuses to speak to her.
Oh Snap ! Mike drop.
Good one, Dramadyke Beth!!!!!!!
Boom!!
I said something to the same effect. But now thinking about it – when I call my mom on her shit in private, she LISTENS. As I listen to her. However, my mother would let her business fail and tell her customers to fuck off before she would leave me at home with the DOG if I just had been released from the hospital and was running a fever, let alone two toddlers. But then – she’s not alienated friends, etc. either – if she had to go to work for a brief period, she’d call in the “troops” – between her friends and mine, we’d be covered.
But Brianna was ultimately RIGHT. Vicki ALWAYS makes it about herself. She repeats something told to her confidentially (OFF CAMERA EVEN) – and she makes excuses like “I was hurt too” or “but it is true”.
It is very off putting.
If Breanna really loved her mother she would tell her to not be on this “friggin” show!!
ITA with your comment. IMO, Vicky has always been a horrible parent to both of her children. Sure, she gave/gives them material things galore, but that is her way of buying their attention and keeping control over them. Brianna falls into her web much more then Michael does. You just have to watch their interactions together and you can see the lack of warmth, the bond is just not there–it seems very awkward and forced. It is always all about Vicky–always was and always will be. Her behavior when Brianna was released from the hospital was a perfect example of how selfish and self centered Vicky is. My heart broke for Brianna, when her mother just left her feeling light headed, weak, queasy and with 2 toddlers to care for! What kind of parent does that to their own child? Yet when Vicky came home from the hospital after her dune buggy accident, she made it seem like she was 1 step away from death’s door and the whole world should have stopped. Vicky is a cold, nasty jackass, she can try to dress herself up as a elegant show horse, but she is still just a jackass.
Brianna should be ashame of herself. Shannon has a police report of her happenings. Tamales was always tried to get people drunk for her amazement and denies it, plus have talked about everyone. Heather has a stick …….. and thinks that she is talking to her kids. Commenting on everyone business. Sit down and shut up we are tired of it. Vicki dated the scrum of the earth. What makes others better than the other.
Vicki, poor little wounded bird. Not ! She hangs her head and talks softly and apologizes, but her apologies have no meaning or depth their empty and meaningless like Vicki ‘s little black soul. And Tamra, I wish that she would stop saying that she’s a Christian. Maybe she thinks that Christian means Christian Louboutin like her new black strappy shoes that Eddie got her, and she worships at the alter of the shoe gods. If that’s the case then proclaim being a shoe worshipper to your little black heart ‘s desire and if not then learn to be a better human being. True Christians do not act like mean school girls and they do not attack others when angry. They also do not get in someone’s face and shout obscenities at them. Shannon and Heather are just as vile but they bore me. I didn’t like Kelly all season but also didn’t like that the three witches ganged up on her and her bestie Vicki didn’t take up for her. I did like Meghan all season but she needs to get as far away as possible from that evil coven of botoxed hags. Also, nothing shown on tonight’s episode made Heather look like her actions were justified, she’s still a manipulative shrew. Not a good look for Miss Fancy Pants at all. I see you Heather and so does everyone else.
Well said.
OMG, what an awful end of this season. I am totally disgusted with Shannon, Tamra and Heather. Tamra claims that she is this christian but she is far from that. Its true what Vicki said, they all talk behind one another’s backs. Look at the start of the party, how she was talking about Vicki and when she walked in all scattered. Look at all the flashbacks where she talks about Vicki.
Oh shit, forget about this, no use rehashing their crap as it makes my blood boil. All thats left to say is this: all three are bullies, evil, false, judgemental and yes, bitches. No amount of material things/money can give them class. They all deserve each other. If I were Vicki/Kelli I would have punched them ages ago, I think they all need to be bitch-slapped.
Thanks a mil for the wonderful picture of Heather, Shannon & Tamra, TT!!! It completely did them justice. 🙂
Here’s Kelly’s apology to the witches:
Dear Assholes:
I am sooooooo sorry for not chugging the drinks you tried to ply me with, in an effort to get me drunk. I am truly sorry I didn’t get drunk at your fucking whim. Most importantly, I am really sorry I didn’t act like a bigger asshole than all three of you, combined! Also, I am sorry that I didn’t assault you physically, despite your doing so. Finally, I am sorry bringing the facts, like David’s PUBLIC CRIMINAL RECORD, into our reality-tv arguments.
P.S. I’m really sorry for compelling you all to lie, just like Vicki did!!!
Love it!
Oh Miguelito!!! So good.
Seriously, these women’s should all write thank you notes to each other at the end of the season. Like proper ladies. Haha! And then they should read them out loud at the reunion!
Andy Cohen! You better pay me if you use that idea, you son of a bitch! Ya hear me?!!! Something tells me you owe TT a couple of bucks too! ?
Perfect, Miguel!
My closed-captioning said that Meghan wants to name her baby Callow, which makes no sense.
I can confirm that she said Callow as well. And WTF kind of name is that? Irish? Dumb.
I swore she said Hallow. Either way, both are odd.
And oddly that name describes the OC women to a tee. Run girl run, get away from the OC!
I’m ashamed to admit but ‘callow’ wasn’t in my vocabulary. I had to google it…
cal·low
ˈkalō/
adjective
(especially of a young person) inexperienced and immature.
“earnest and callow undergraduates”
synonyms: immature, inexperienced, juvenile, adolescent, naive, green, raw, untried, unworldly, unsophisticated; informalwet behind the ears
“she toyed with the emotions of Laughton when he was a callow and insecure young man”
Wow. I’ve never heard of an insult party before. Who else but a Bravo Housewife would give gifts with the intention of hurting someone’s feelings?
It’s like they are in Bizarro World. Or the Twilight Zone.
Insult party? How stupid! I’m surprised it didn’t end in a slap-off.
It’s funny who ones opinion changes over the course of the seasons.
I never thought I’d be on Vicki’s side since she divorced Donn. But I feel sorry for her now. And I’ve always felt sorry for Brianna because of her mother. And now I can’t stand that C U Next Tuesday. Although I am saddened to hear of her Lupus diagnosis. I lost my dear sister at the age of 49 to complications from Lupus.
I’ve always kinda of liked Heather until this season and now I think she might be the biggest bitch ever on a Housewives franchise ever.
Meghan, meh. So boring and dumb during her first season. And now I’m actually sad that this is probably her final season.
I hope Vicki is the lone survivor to return next season. I hope that the obvious takeover plan by Tamra, Shannon and Heather blows up in their faces. Their behavior this season was deplorable.
Bravo should have an all-star/fan-favorites cast next season. I’d like Vicki, Jeanna and Alexis* to return. Who would you like to see return to the show and?
*I didn’t actually like Alexis but I found her very entertaining because of her laughable, reactionary beliefs and odd relationship with her douchebag husband.
I agree!! I thought Meghan was annoying last season but this season she’s the voice of reason. She called Kelly out on her shit a couple of times.
I used to actually like Heather. I think we saw her true colors this season and no thanks I’ll pass. She’s a judgmental, hypocritical witch! I believe she feels superior to all the woman because she has so much money and her husband is a doctor. Tamra and Shannon are scared to disagree with her so they follow their leader.
Tamra is mean. She’s always been mean. I don’t think her only “pushing” Kelly was okay. Kelly may hit below the belt with her comments but they are only words. I didn’t think her comment about Tamra and her daughters relationship was even that bad. Shannon the shrew didn’t want her friend Tamra to become friends with the new girl who Shannon didn’t like.
Unless Bravo does an overhaul of this show this is my last season. I’ve watched from day #1 but it isn’t entertaining anymore. It’s become VERY toxic.
I wonder if Andy Cohen is going to go after Vicki for bringing up gay rumours about one of the husbands like he did Kenya Moore at the last RHOA reunion?
No – Andy doesn’t go after Vicki.
Kenya could lay golden eggs and present them on a silver platter to Andy and he would still throw shade at her and stick a “kick me” sign on her back. When I think of the actual, blatant homophobia exhibited by some of Andy’s favorites it makes me want to hurl.
There was a preview of the reunion, where Vicki stands up and says (to someone they did not show) that they need to get off her show!
I agree with Vicki that Shannon and Tamra should get off her show but heather can stay we need a cold vapid woman to judge the replacements.
It’s not Vicki’s show and she looks like an idiot screaming about it. Vicki is like Nene – both OG’s, both replaceable, both with egos the size of Texas.
If Vicki goes so does Tamra’s foil. It would expose Tamra’s shit stirring and evil right quick.
I’ve already self identified several times as a Team Heather person.
I’ve got insomnia after going to my friends’ for dinner and trick or treating with their kids. This weekend my mom and I rewatched some of the OC Ireland trip.
Here are some things to chew on folks. You don’t have to like Heather – but perhaps explains motivations or something, as this is how we saw it.
Heather didn’t blow her top when Kelly went into her totally anti-Semitic rant. Not only did Kelly give her skewed definition of Jews, but then she in essence called Heather a BAD JEW. It was like a one two punch of bigotry. If Heather had been someone like the first season Teresa Guidice or more like early Tamra? There would have been an international incident in Ireland.
So… my mom and I were thinking she was really reacting to that on the bus, at least in part, to being surprised by that lovely display of ignorance. Combine that with alcohol, and that isn’t a good thing.
Plus… here is the other major thing to chew on. Kelly threw a couple of bombs out. The Eddie is gay thing – which I now respect Eddie for because he’s treating it as a joke and not a big deal – and the very big deal of the David beat the shit out of Shannon accusations. Yes, both of those things have been discussed on teh blogs, etc.
But here is the thought – neither one of those things have been mentioned ON THE SHOW. They were NOT brought up by the parties directly involved, and were clearly not part of the storyline. Kelly may have simply been repeating what Vicki said to her which is something that happens on the HW, but they hardly ever repeat something said OFF CAMERA and is not part of a story line in any way.
Heather of any housewife would feel that this is a sacrosanct rule. Remember she and Shannon were on the absolute outs – that she pulled her is she having a break thing on Shannon(I do love her, but I even think that is an over the top habit that needs to stop). During that time, Heather figured out/ found out that David was having an affair. She said NOTHING.
Keep in mind – she said absolutely nothing, supposedly not even to her husband. About a couple that they were on the outs with – and info if revealed in the right way, could have made them a MAJOR part of the story line, and the center of attention.
Heather is a complete puppetmaster and uses each one of them as she feels the need. She has NO true allegience to any of them. She needs to go.
I really don’t see that at all. They are each individuals and I don’t think Heather has any control.
Anti Semitic rant? Cmon. It was a jab. The general rule when making a snide remark like that is to punch “up” and it’s okay. Kelly is Mexican. Given all the crap her people get these days I would definitely consider it a punch “up”. Jews usually take pride in their over representation in comedy, if you haven’t noticed. So it’s funny in an IRONIC way that heather seems to take pride that she is so humorless and demure. How is someone gonna not take the piss out of that?
I think you’re over thinking it. When they were harassing Kelly in the van and she yelled that at her they weren’t filming. They weren’t mic’Ed. Someone got out their iPhone. We wouldn’t even know what Kelly said about Eddie because it was unintelligible if the ladies just shut up about it. They decided to continue with it. If they hadn’t wanted to, it wouldn’t have made it to the show. Heather could have put her own iPhone away too…
I agree and isn’t heather the one who spread gossip about Shannon and David that Tamra told her on a prior season ?
You lost me at “totally anti-Semitic rant.”
I agree 100%. Heather has been completely fine w Kelly all season. For me it’s ok for each housewife to have “mean episodes” once a season but Kelly has had one every effing episode.
I think it’s hilarious that Shannon setup Kelly when clearly it was production … clearly. Shannon was ok w Kelly before that.
Kelly is a mean person/drunkard. who is maniplitive enough to convince most of the readers here that she was a victim on the bus. (Plus the off season video of her bigotry and her classlessness at pump) LMAO. No, you just finally got what you ditched out to the “3 witches” the only difference was they gave it back to you at the same time. It’s obvious Shannon wasn’t getting Kelly to get drunk. Shannon even ordered a drink for others who “weren’t drinking” also, but yet again victim Kelly “didn’t want to drink” after all of them have said she told them she wanted to drink and have fun that night. Also, maybe Shannon planned on drinking the leftovers.
It’s one thing if the ladies talked about these personal matters on camera but Kelly screaming at Shannon that her husband “beats the shit out of you” is ONCR AGAIN. Hitting below the belt. A police report? Doesn’t always say what actually happened usually it’s a combination of two stories and whatever details the cops want to add or leave out (whether or not they actually happened) And none of us were there, Shannon could’ve hit herself in the face and when the cops came David was falsely arrested. Then she could’ve told Vicki a lie to see how good of a friend she is (a stretch) but we don’t know bc we weren’t there and the police weren’t there either.
Agree!
There was nothing offensive about the comment Kelly made, unless you are a Jew with a stick up her ass like Heather.
I have no dog in this, I don’t get most of what it is these well off women who got a free trip flying first class from LA to Ireland, my dream way to go to Europe that I will never be able to afford, are in such a tear about. My only observation is this talking about each other behind their backs. isn’t that that their job? I imagine that someplace at Bravo there is a file full of job descriptions and one of those is Real Housewife. of course it includes not afraid of cosmetic procedures, wear age inappropriate cloth, live beyond your means, be willing to endure a liver transplant in ten years, lack common sense and self awareness, forsake your marriage for fame, and talk about your co-workers behind their back.
Vicki has to be on something. She has absolutely no emotional response to anything anyone says or does to her. She was like that on last year’s reunion show too.
I know I’m getting old when I find Meghan’s dad hotter than her husband.
LOL. He is a handsome WASP. Jim does nothing for me, probably because I have vibes he’s dipping his candlesticks elsewhere. I think Vicki is on Xanax.
Yes, I think Andy asked her at the end of the reunion if she was on something and she said she was.
Interesting. I think Teresa on RHONJ is on it as well. That’s probably why her eyes droop down more now. Damn, wish I could get some:)??
She downed a bunch of Xanax before the reunion last year. Probably did the same for the finale filming this year.
I love the house that Shannon is in. She and David ought to buy it. It would be like being on vacation every day unlike that cold unfeeling mausoleum that they sold. I think the fact that they were all surrounded by so many carbs that they would not deign to eat made them all extra bitchy.
I think she said it was for sale for some crazy amount, like $40 million. Apparently it’s on a huge piece of land.
These women are so dreadful I am still wondering if Shannon, the most shallow person ever, is more upset about her perfect marriage (despite the fact that she aired her husbands affair in public and routinely humiliates him) myth is debunked or Kelly pointed out that she has hair on her chin. I believe David beat the shit out of Shannon. Tamra and the T shirts was not funny. Take the things you know hurts your friends the worst and put them on a T shirt with an unflattering photo.
Remember when your mother told you not to make that face, it would stick like that. Heather did not listen to her mother, She has permanent stank face. I really liked Heather. I felt bad for Heather when Vicki and Tamra would gang up on her and call her fancy pants yet take advantage of the Hawaiian trips, gifts, etc. She was really bewildered when they believed Shannon’s paranoid delusions about evil Heather. Instead of becoming compassionate, Heather became the mean girl. I hope Meghan finds a happy life in St. Louis. Remember your Shakespeare. All is not gold that glisters. I feel sort of sorry for Vicki, but I was never a Vicki fan. She is no longer the Queen Bee and I think that hurts her the most. I don’t like Briana. Don’t talk trash about your mom, especially when she loans you lots of money to help you through the rough times. I think Kelly is a lot nicer than the edit showed her. This show is no longer fun.
As always, thanks TT. Glad to see you survived Halloween. I thought it was so cool that Meghan had on a Harley Quinn costume, fishnets and all, and the show aired on Halloween!?
Just because someone else behaves badly, doesn’t mean you have to. Just because Vicki betrays friends and flaps her mouth about shit they confided in her about while they were close, doesn’t mean Kelly has carte blanche to repeat it in anger or any situation. That shows your character.
If someone told me that about another person, I would not repeat it, I don’t care how angry I got, because I’m not a disgusting human being who throws domestic violence or estrangement from kids in other peoples’ faces.
Vicki is the guiltier party because she was dead wrong in the first place to spill the beans to Kelly, but Kelly is wrong as well for repeating it as gossip for shits and giggles. She literally has no control over her mouth when she perceives she is being attacked. Whether you are, or are not, you should demonstrate some self control in how you respond. It’s sad that she can’t and she just goes full psycho.
Goes to show the type of people they are that domestic violence/abuse is a subject for them to get one over on someone. It’s foul and disgusting. But then again, it is Vicki Gunvalson we’re dealing with.
@Rach, totally agree. Just because the story of domestic violence is part of public records does Not mean that someone has to say it a loud to hurt another person. It is “foul and disgusting.”
Very good observation Rach. That’s in the same category as making fun of someone for having an ailing child. These women are demons. Period!
Amen, Shae! Agree completely and so well stated!!
The very definition of poetic justice: Vicki fills Kelly’s head with all sorts of nasty stories about the HWs when Vicki is estranged from them, then, when she has won all the HWs back, she abandons Kelly, and Kelly blurts out all of the awful things that Vicki told her. Too perfect. And was there any doubt that Vicki would deny responsibility saying, “I didn’t say anything, Kelly did.” And Kelly would deny responsibility saying, “I didn’t say anything, I only repeated what Vicki told me.”
Done and done with this show. Nothing positive. Like Mean Girls but with no Lindsay Lohan. All truly awful women. Meghan was smart to get the hell out. Only housewife show I have left is Beverly Hills. Thanks TT for your future recaps as that’s the only way I will know what’s going on. I wish Andy would at least cancel OC and Jersey, both really awful this season.
BRAVO canceling NJ and OC would be a miracle. Tre and Tamra would be SOL – they would have to get real jobs! Now that is a reality show I would love to see!
I still think they need to throw the worst of the worst into a house together, like Real World style, and let the games begin. They would ruin each other majorly.
Remember when Eddie and Tamra told their really good friend about the relationship between them, and he looked like it was a joke, or was so speechless and uncomfortable, I kept thinking Omgosh this best friend of Eddie has a crush or ? .. Tamara and Eddie kept making out in front of him and this poor man was so,so ,so uncomfortable. Always wondered about that. I think it’s as if he was looking at Eddie like ?????? But couldn’t say anything. Just my thoughts.
Ohhhhh, interesting . Wish I knew what episode, although I do remember a dinner at a restaurant with another person and I thought that very second that he was gay. Maybe they are beards for each other. She says things sometimes that make me wonder. Jesus Gym teacher sure says things to Tamra that make you wonder. Was that Eddie’s roommate? The friend you are referring too
He was Eddie’s best friend and a realtor. They met to tell him the season of the pornographic bath scene :).. they met for drinks at an outside restaurant overlooking the ocean. I never forget this episode. I will do some looking around, its worth it from what I remember (hee hee) it reveals something being weird.
OMG… the Bath scene!!!! I TOTALLY forgot. That was awkward, like they were trying to prove something. Didn’t Tamra meet Eddie through her ex-husband? Thanks for the reminder. I have to watch this episode again!
Thinking beginning of season 6
I just read something pretty old, so this may not be new tea. When Eddie was under 21, he began doing odd jobs for an older man, a lawyer, last name Judge. Said lawyer eventually fostered or adopted Eddie , then Eddie changed his name. Some SPECULATED the relationshipbetween laywer and “handy man, turned son,” was unusual at best. Eddue originally from Mexico. The relationship with Eddie and Tamra to meet was set up by production. She was to meet him while looking for a home with her Realtor. Originally, she was set up to meet him at a home he was supposedly selling ( but really wasn’t his home.) Don’t know what the status is of the old lawyer these days, but I do recall he worked there when they first started dating. I also recall he was accused of practicing law without a license. The old article said Tamra was “dating” him whilst still married.
I rarely post here but do love to read Tamaras recaps and everyone’s comments. I just felt compelled to say that the OC housewives were one of my favorites even with Tamra on it but it’s gotten too dark now, bravo will be making a mistake IMO if Tamra returns. She orchestrated many dark scenes and I can see her hand in the behavior towards Vicki and poor Kelly who was put on the defense from the second episode on.
At the end of the episode during the updates on each cast member, it read that Brianna’s husband is still “stuck in Oklahoma”. Ummm, NO! He is not stuck. He chose to serve his country and all that goes with it. Yes it must be tough to be separated from his family but this is a choice that he made and that Brianna made. She chose her mother over the father of her children. Quit whining, Brianna.
Yes, that was very messed up!!+ Makes you wonder if Vicki used the word “stuck” with the underlining meaning, that he’s not been approved for medical leave.. that whole Brianna situation makes me suspect.
Let’s discuss the most important thing about the finale…WTF was Meghan wearing to that party? Her hair was dreadful. She had on a very loud print dress with fishnet stockings and silver sandals. What was that? I’ve always really liked Meghan, but yikes…she was either screwed by a stylist or the pregnancy had pickled her brain.
Yeah, that was odd even for her. Last season I think she wore that awful headband/headwrap.
I sid it reminded me of Harley Quinn. My 9 year old dressed like Harley for Halloween. Red and blue, fishnets. That bun thing she does on top of her hair??? Some stylist is playing a cruel joke on her. She’s a beautiful girl, but that was dreadful. Fishnets in So Cal??? She kills me with all the belly patting. I still have a belly 9 years later. She doesn’t have an ounce of body fat. I’ve never seen someone so thrilled to be pregnant. She’ll have another one soon. She really has been endearing this season.
.
Brianna having Lupus – show me the damn medical records! Sorry, I could not resist!
I think Andy and the Production team are the damn puppet masters in this mess!
If they don’t fire everyone, I really hope Vicki quits. She doesn’t need the money. Enjoy your new man and your grandchildren.
Michael standing up for Kelly was the best part of the whole season.
Vicki’s temperament was almost soothing! She’s as awful as the rest of them, but I loved her low affect last night. I guess I’m just tired of the screaming banshee reactions both she and Tamra are prone to. Heather is Cruella DeVille with a superiority complex, and she could disappear off the earth with no loss to humanity as far as I’m concerned. But I don’t understand how many of you have such animosity for Brianna? She’s tried to get her mom to realize her bad behavior, and that her character is deeply flawed. But she also realizes nothing she says to her is fixing it. As her daughter she wants her mom happy, but there’s nothing truthful or admirable about defending your mom when she’s clearly the author of her own circumstances.
It’s so nice to finally find someone who feels the exact way I do about the show!!! I have disliked Briana from the start. I don’t care what her mom does she is so wrong for throwing her under the bus like that!!! Tamra spit in her mom’s face but here she is acting like they’re best pals & even talking against mom to her. Shannon drives me insane too!!! She always has to be the victim! I have zero doubt that she told Vicki David hits her. Was Vicki wrong to repeat it??? Absolutely, but just bc Vicki told Kelli that doesn’t give her the right to blurt it out in the middle of an argument. Then, seeing Kelli throw her under the bus once again when they confront her at the party made me sick. Vicki certainly does things that drive me insane but everything being Vicki’s fault & no one taking responsibility for their own actions is even worse to me.
I believe Vicki said they need to “sage” the house, not stage the house.
Yes, sage. Vicki needs to safe her body, daily.
Yes, sage
Did I hear Tamra say to Kelly “don’t say there’s an elephant in the room, its like saying someone is fat”? My gawd, these women!!!
I’m glad you noticed that too. Tamra is really so ignorant.
It’s comical that she throws in something so ridiculous between the “FU’s” it kinda sounded like what Heather would say.
How about Tamra’s gym Nazi being a buzz kill? Let her eat the damn doughnuts for Pete’s sake.
I really was zoning out watching this, I missed the spirit advisor. Kinda don’t wanna watch again, can you let me know what she said? Thanks 🙂
She came up to her during the party and said some amens , praise baby Jesus ( just kidding, I added that part?)…but she basically walked up to her and said they would be hitting the gym TOMORROW, the day after the food/insult party…that would be when I would tell Jesus Depok Gym teacher to WATCH THIS and shove a White Castle down my throat, then chase with a tequila. But Tamra played along and said “Yes, yes, I’ll be back at it tomorrow “, then Depok told her she thought she should go for some Miami Woman’s Competition and Tamra was like, WHAT… I’m sure she wants her to keep training and competing. That’s $$$$ for her, free advertising, and $$$ for screen time. BTW, Jesus Gym teacher looks so familiar. Have we seen her on TV before? I think she has the hots for Tamra
I never in a million years thought I would say this BUT…….I am going to miss Meagan. She was actually the voice of reason. I wanted to jump up and hug her when she put Heather in her place last night. It was a thing of beauty. The difference between their gossip and Meg is they gossip and hide it . Meg owns it and not only that but calls them on their bull. She is a good friend to Kelly.
Meghan has been better than a good friend to Kelly. I am so happy she is out of the OC mess. I hope Kelly doesn’t call me and long distance bitch to her about the other “ladies”.
When I wrote the last sentence I was channeling Meghan’s thoughts!
That made me laugh, PeachyKeen!
I was thinking Meaghen looked so young and pretty and happy, when talking to Heather, Shannon and Tamra, and that trio did not. They looked hard and mean.
Weren’t they friends before the show? It’s genuine friendship
How many seasons are they going to end with Brianna walking Tamra out front to talk to Vicki. Kinda dejavuish 🙂
Wasn’t Brianna own father absent? I cannot believe she’s keeping especially sons away from their dad. Just my thoughts.
I cannot, not like Vicki. She just makes me laugh. I think she plays the game without apologies. Just my thoughts.
Hee hee, not literally apologies, apologies 🙂
Shannon,Tamra and Heather were horrible.
If Vickie is off this show I’ll stop watching. Not a problem.
Agree with you- If Vicki is off, I will stop too. If she is on though, stop bringing Brianna on. She does not have her mom’s back so she should not get a spot! Very disloyal
Andy always wears a broke ass tie, knot appealing?
Yes these women are all a bunch of b*tches but if they were all happily married women doing charity work and enjoying book club together, nobody would watch. I stick with my own opinion on Kelly, she had it coming since the day she opened her big mean mouth. Cannot wait to see the reunion!
Laughing so hard reading this perfect recap! Who knew calling the cunts, well, cunts, could be so hilarious?! Been sick of Brianna since that one reunion she threw Mom under the bus. Here’s an idea Bri – stop meeting the friend you love so much at restaurants and start hanging with Tamra in the gym?
Meghan didn’t need a redemption arc in my book, cuz I liked her “style” last Season, Just didn’t like her, lol. She uses her big girl words well. Heather should be very jealous! As a St. Louisan , I loved that connection and all things Jimmy. Really gonna miss her and that story line. Hope they naming the baby after his candles: Tallow. 🙂
As for the Coven? I hate on any of the HW shows when they get together to have a “plan.” To take LVP out, to take Lu and Sonja out, to take Teresa out, to take Kenya out….I think “production does too. So they encourage them and let us see their “real” reality desperation to be on TV.
Vick is a survivor. I loved the clip of get off my show, lol. I’m a fan of Kelly’s low blows but not of her. I’m so curious of what it is Shannon has on David? There’s gotta be more to it.RUN DAVID RUN!
I have never agreed with anyone’s blog more than I do with everything that you have said.. well maybe about Brianna being a cunt… i just think she’s a spoiled bratt.. and that’s Vicki’s fault! But the 3 witches and the bullies on the bus!!! Hell yeah! I can’t believe they think they did nothing wrong! I actually hate bullies… but i am secretly hoping THEY get bully in social media so they see how it feels.
Thank for pointing this out…
