Le sigh. I have gotten enough of menopausal women bashing each other, whiners, apologizes, deniers and “she started it!” behavior this week right here on this blog. But, hey! Let’s watch a third hour of this shit show just to be damn sure my cup runneth over.
I realized posting this photo that we really haven’t talked about the “fashions.” Who has your winning and losing look? For me, Meghan is the winner and loser is Shannon. Tamra does get a dishonorable mention because that body would look good in anything.
While I totally agree with all of you that say there is no one to root for on the show in the sense that they are all less than stellar examples for women. I will be shameless rooting for Vicki, Kelly and Heather tonight.
The Glamis Trip
Tamra and Eddie just very recently went back to Glamis and Tamra still had a lot of nerves about going into “the bowl.” I admire her for facing her fears to the extent that she did. They show the horrific accident montage. Heather really did a good job telling no one to move after the accident. That is some quick thinking in a stressful situation. Tamra takes full responsibility. Shannon talks about how she could not go because of permanent lung damage from having pneumonia so many time.
I suppose they have to give Meghan some heat but there is no reason on earth why Shannon or Meghan should have gone to the hospital. None. They do not like Vicki. Meghan says that Heather was being “TV Heather.” Later Andy says that 72% of WWHL views sided with Meghan and Shannon on this issue. Vicki is pissed. Vicki is delusional.
Montage of Heather being judgey and making it all about her. She really is Chief of the Morality police, as Meghan said. Vicki said that Brianna asked if she was really in a helicopter and that is why Vicki sent HER the photo. And she sent it to Meghan. Two guesses on which one shared the photo. Video of Brianna saying that she thought Vicki was being dramatic. Vicki says she was out of work for three months. Heather says that Brianna was throwing Vicki under the bus to Tamra at that time. Heather apologizes again for saying, “maybe it was reckless of Meghan to get pregnant.” But then she says that Meghan talked about her during the last two episodes calling her conniving. Meghan says she should have told Heather that directly inasmuch as it involved her creepy, drunken face holding scene on the bus in Ireland. Heather is really looking like the biggest cunt on this episode so far.
Of all the housewives on all the franchises, whose would you want to live in? For me it is Kelly Dodd’s because ON THE FUCKING BEACH. I could put up with all the white and gaudy gold crap for that alone.
Ireland
Kelly’s nose flicking bullshit was annoying as fuck and I would have probably punched her in the face. I do not like anyone in my personal space who is not invited in. In this instance Kelly needs to just admit she was being drunk and obnoxious instead of saying she as kidding. Then Kelly calls it a miscommunication and she didn’t mean it that way. As someone who has often done dumb shit while drunk, the proper response here is , “I was drunk, not used to the Irish beer, I got carried away. I behaved badly. It was stupid and annoying and I am embarrassed and ashamed, and please forgive me. ”
Heather makes shit up about why she had fireball in her flask. I do not believe her. Shannon gives excuses about why she pulled the waiter aside and WHISPERED to him “make them doubles.” I don’t believe her.
Ah, Vicki knew about the plan to get Kelly wasted and tipped her off. That makes totally sense, because really the plan should have worked.
Andy shows the whole naked wasted clip from earlier seasons. He seems to be Team Kelly on this one.
David’s Domestic Abuse
Shannon at first acts like there is no basis for Vicki’s claims. Then she said her usual story that in 2003 she and David had an argument and it was not physical, she just wanted the argument to end so she called the cops and David got arrested. Shannon says Vicki is making it all up. Vicki says she has proof and Shannon sent her photos of the abuse. Vicki says she didn’t want to go there but Shannon keeps calling her a liar. Tamra jumps in to defend Shannon saying Vicki DID go there. Everyone is making it very obvious that this did happen and they are mad a Vicki for putting it out there. Wow. Then Tamra goes off saying she is a better person than Vicki. Tamra says Vicki is dogshit. Atta girl. Thanks for bringing those fine Christian values to the table.
Shannon tells some story about when she and David went to Hawaii right after she found out about the affair. Something about a blackout and falling and I don’t even care. Shannon’s marriage is a sham in my opinion and I am not going to recap every ridiculous story she comes up with. Shannon is hysterical. Vicki is Xanax calm and she says, ” I hope it’s not true. When you called me screaming for your life, I hope that was not true.” Shannon says she will never speak to Vicki again because now people are going to come up to her daughters and tell them that her father beats her mother. YAY! Does this mean she won’t be on Vicki’s show next season? Vicki says she is good with not speaking to Shannon because she would never condone a man touching a woman like that. Andy, misogynist extraordinaire is giving this topic way more air time than anything else and brings up Brooks.
Everyone seems to me to know that David beat Shannon and they are mad at Vicki to publicizing it. It’s totally believable based on everyone’s reaction. With friends like these cunts who needs enemies. Shannon storms off set with full camera crew and Tamra goes with her to maximize her air time. Heather takes over the cunt couch and says that it was wrong of Vicki to bring up “Shannon’s darkest moments.” So the takeaway from that will also be that Vicki is telling the truth and everyone one is attacking Vicki for spilling dark secret on camera, not that Vicki is lying. And you all know how much they like to accuse Vicki of lying.
I don’t know how I will recap Vanderpump Rules. This all seems like a lot of screaming. When Shannon returns Andy says this is the big secret that Vicki had on her. Um, duh. On the other hand I don’t believe that David is the abusive one. Even Kelly says that Shannon’s story about her injuries being because she broke the door down makes sense. That would explain the fact that Shannon’s bruises were on one side, shoulder and hip. I think the real secret is they both get drunk and fight and the fights turn physical.
Shannon whips out her phone. Shannon shows photos of her in Hawaii where she now says she just fell down.
Is Eddie Judge Gay?
Vicki and Tamra bitch over this. Tamra tells Vicki to “Shut up old lady!” Why are people acting like this is not all over the Internet.
Random End Edits
Kelly says that the whole world hates Heather and finds her unlikable. Tamra is pissed about the Eddie Judge is gay rumors. Vicki says she is sorry that she repeated the Eddie is gay rumor to Kelly.
The final thing was a do over. Heather tries to deny what a cunt she was. Tamra says pushing Kelly. Shannon says yelling at David. Kelly says what she said about Tamra’s daughter. Vicki says oversharing with Kelly.
Shannon says something about how he family is hurt by the season. SO GET OFF VICKI’S SHOW YOU DUMB CUNT!
Preach!
Weird how Brianna doesn’t not smile…she’s embarrassed
Whew. You must be emotionally exhausted. I know I would be if I had to recap this crap.
By the way, I was going to send you an email, but figured you had enough to dig through. Just know that I am thinking if you, and hope things get better.
Brianna is such an ungrateful bitch of a daughter.
Why? She can’t tell the truth about that hag of a mother?
En how! What an ingrate. I am not in the mood to hear a bunch of fucktards tell me how “wonderful” Briana is and how Vickie “controls her” with money, so I almost didn’t comment. But, she reached an all-time low by telling Tamra that Vickie played up her injuries for the camera and whipped off her neck-brace and danced around the house with a glass of wine as soon as the cameras shut off. What an impossible, disloyal hog of a cow.
I’m watching now.. Shannon is so sanctimonious. Cheese n’ crackers! Was she always like this?
She was not always like this (on the show anyhow). Believe she overplayed her hand when she got voted “most liked HW” way back. Oh wow. Wow. Wow. Like wow. Give it a rest & learn some different reactionary words to say on camera purty please? 🙂
I would kill my daughter if she did this to me.
Yeah, who does that? My mother is an ACTUAL cunt, but even I wouldn’t go on TV and say that.
Momma drama is best handled privately, my mom my be crazy nut but I’m not shouting it from the rooftops or ganging up with the mean girls to bash her. Geez Brianna get a therapist to vent.
My mother has treated me poorly my whole life. I recently learned my husband’s divorcing me and she hasn’t called once in 3 months to see how I’m doing. STILL, I would never go on TV and call her out. Never. Brianna called Tamara, knowing she would bring this shit up at the reunion. Brianna is a total cunt. I especially hate the way she smiles while talking badly about her mother.
None of them wore anything I love on them besides Meghan. Best hair and make up is Vicki. I think the worst look is Shannon or Heather. Kelly needs a better bra.
I love that Meghan politely let Heather know what she thought about “TV Heather”.
Why is it that Briana always tells Tamra the shitty stuff about her Mom? And, what kind of person pursue’s that kind of conversation? A normal reaction is to shut that conversation down.
There is NO way that was not a setup between Tamra (naked wasted), Shannon, and Heather. I will go one step further based on Vicki’s warning and Vicki pal-ing with the 3 witches in Ireland, and say that Vicki knew they were setting Kelly up, hence the warning.
WHO says to anyone I am better than you and I am a good person. That is so WTFery.
When Tamra followed Shannon out to the hall all she did was reiterate how horrible Vicki is. Tamra loves stirring the pot. Wouldn’t a normal caring person try to calm them down instead of fanning the flames? Maybe something like: “you’re going to be ok” “you’re strong” “David loves you and you are a good Mom”. But, nope, gotta fan the flames.
I don’t believe Shannon’s story that she fell and then tried knocking down the door and got bruises on her hip and shoulder. More likely, in my opinion, is that David shoved her. But, really, I am only basing that on the cast reaction and Vicki saying Shannon called and was hysterical. Trying to knock down a locked door doesn’t makes sense to me. Why was he hiding from her though? If he is abusive why was he the one behind locked doors?? Well, hell, on second thought I don’t flipping know.
Brianna is an ungrateful asshole. Vicki loves her unconditionally. It is so hard to watch Brianna constantly throw her Mom under the bus. True, or not, she needs to respect her mom or cut off the purse strings.
I will not miss Shannon’s shrieking, Heather’s scolding, or Tamra rounding up those two and bullying and excluding Kelly. It was disgusting to watch.
That was a very strange story. It’s hard to know what to make of it. I really think Shannon should stop drinking. It’s not doing her any good at all. I think the couples who wrestle with these issues, can sometimes both be screwed up. It’s not allways an angel and a devil fighting. Her story reminded me of the weird stories an ex friend used to tell me, about fighting with boyfriends that she would hit, and then say they abused her. But then she would chase after them wanting the relationship back, but yet still want to charectherize them as having anger problems and deneying her MAJOR anger problems. And the alcohol just fueled the insanity allready there. I could be wrong but Ive felt that Shannon is the one who is difficult to be with, and that David would be just fine with another woman that’s EASIER.
PREACH! So tired of ppl justifying her treatment of her mother simply because they don’t like Vicki. What if your daughter did this to you? She’s an ungrateful fat bitch who never gets called on her shit!
Brianna is going to regret saying those things about her mother. I am very disappointed in her. Vicki loves her children and I have never heard her be anything but loving and supportive of them. Shame on you Brianna.
Oh for fuck’s sake Shannon and Tamra are icky cunts that love the sound of their own voice.
I use to watch the reunions as my form of watching the shows (the housewives shows, not even Atlanta), but apparently I can’t click PLAY on my DVR for any of them any more. I don’t know what happened, but I guess I just don’t enjoy them any more. I’ll keep reading TT’s recaps to see if I’m missing something, but I think I’ll be deleting all of those folders taking up space on my dvr. I’ve been watching movies and scripted shows now as far as tv goes. New material is the ticket.
I don’t blame you Katimir. The dog and pony show is becoming predictably cruel. The little click within the click seem to think as long as they have the approval of the c_ _ t to their left, then they can look at each other in the mirror. They believe they are “brave” because they put their lives out there for all to see, so it somehow excuses them from being morally reprehensible.
I cant wait to see Pt. 3! I liked Kelly’s dress the best.
I’m not just saying this because she is has grated on my nerves so badly, but Heather’s dress looks like a Target sundress you can find on the clearance rack at the end of August for $11.99. Such a big, elaborate closet, adorned with Chanel pillows for her to wear a hot pink Target Sundress to the reunion.
Kelly started to see the light at the end of the show on how Vicki was using her. Vicki is dog shit. Love to see that hag fired. Understandable how Brianna may love her mother but doesn’t like her. A vile, vicious woman. Why Heather is more of a target is bizarre.
I agree with you. Icky is a vile disgusting creature. There is no one lower than she
You really think that Vickie is more repugnant than Tamra? What tool are you using to separate their actions? Oh, never mind, never mind, “the cancer scam.” I’ll have you know, the only reason Vickie did it and Tamra didn’t is because Vickie thought of it first. That’s the only difference. Don’t think for one second that Tamra isn’t capable of perpetrating the same thing.
Oh 4fs. The cancer scam. I just don’t see how that is worse than Tamra and Heather deliberately undermining manipulating controlling lying scheming and out right bullying like 15 year old mean girls every single HW that dares to look side ways at them. And all under the guise of o Christian and a doctors wife. Tamra doesn’t give a shite about the cancer scam she just loves that everyone else does.
Heather is the worst. I’ve been watching her closely this year to work out why she irks me so much. Cause normally I love a voice of reason.
She is only ever the voice of reason as long as it puts her into a perfect light. She gets down in the gutter with everyone rspecially Tamra. She just makes sure the target victim is manipulated to go there first and then acts like she was dragged there.
Yep Vicki is far worse than Tamra.
Ive alleays thought Tamra is a horrible person. She’s a bully and very shallow and cruel. Shes the meanest drunk ever, because thats when the real uncensored Tamra comes out in all hee ugly glory. Her husband’s only married her because they think she’s “hot”so she has to spend all her time honing her body and hanging on to her looks. There’s nothing else there. I dont think she’s any better than Vickie, and maybe a bit worse even.
Who is Icky ?
Seriously?
Vicki has two of the worst traits that, when I see other people who have them, I run away. Still she remains the OG because Andy’s misognistic adgenda gets we women similar to her in decisiveness and drive (but without her tendency to misjudge self awareness and kindness for signs we too, should move in for the kill), look less ambitious and deserving. We want to know how we can become as successful as Miss Vicki.
I’ve watched as Vicki draws people in with her incessant victimhood of an unfilled love tank, less than adoring children and her saintlike work ethic only to be tragically betrayed by those men and same children. And all for what, that she should end up rich but with an empty tank and children who need but don’t really love her?
The B**** attracts exactly what she puts out. An empty love tank incapable of loving anything but herself. I no longer care to know who she hurts in her search to bury the truth about herself from the only person who matters, herself.
Fashions, I think pregnancy suits Meghan, she looks beautiful and happy. Vicky finally seems to be dressing for her age. Shannon has gained some weight and is hiding it with a potato sack. I have yet to see Heather wearing something tasteless. Nice to see her in something other than black.
Eloquent
LOL – love your recaps…first of all, I wish Andy would have asked Meghan – and maybe he will on a future WWHL or something – if she could be more specific when she said she “saw a lot of things she didn’t like this season” and how she didn’t want to raise her daughter around it. Would like to know more – she is quite articulate, etc. BTW, I believe Vicki said she was off work three weeks, not three months. All of the bickering was such a bummer. Wore me out, have to get some sleep after that….more later fellow fans and friends…BTW Tamara I feel for you having to do this and VRules the same nite…will wait til tomorw to read that one, I couldn’t see it and love your writing so much…take care.
I’ve never seen Meghan look more beautiful than she does right now and the dress was gorgeous. Could Heather have picked anything cheaper looking than that pink thing? Tamara looks fantastic. Shannon is a little bit chunkier than she used to be and I thought the dress was appropriate. Vicki usually looks well put together, and Kelly is absolutely gorgeous but that blue dress didn’t do her boobs any favors – made her look like an old granny in that area. For Vicki to shriek that she was mad at Shannon and Tamra because they made her look like a liar and a con woman? Talk about delusional!! Vicki still doesn’t acknowledge that she WAS a liar and a con woman. She couldn’t tell the truth if her life depended upon it. The more she talks, the worse she looks. ALSO, she definitely exaggerated her injuries from the dune buggy crash. The minute she talked about being numb and not able to feel her legs, she knew they would react as if it were a life-threatening injury. What happened to all that numbness once she got to the hospital? Went away fast, didn’t it? Now I acknowledge that when something that traumatic happens, there might have been quite a bit of fear and panic involved, especially for someone like Vicki who over-reacts to everything, whether it’s drinking something new, tasting a new food, or being round beautiful Irish cows. It’s just the way she is. I know Brianna looks bad to some people for speaking out against her mother, but, if she didn’t then she’d become complicit in Vicki’s lies and she doesn’t want that.
The reason Meghan looks so good and no one can figure out why is because she is a walking skeleton normally. If she keeps the 30 pounds on her that she has gained through pregnancy, she will always look this good and have color in her face.
Plus being pregnant, she has tits now
I agree. Meaghen looks younger too, she looks like a little kid with the fuller face and very very pretty. She should definatly keep the extra weight afterwards. Her hair was super cute too. Heather is someone who would look better and younger with some extra weight too. She didnt shine at all at the reunion, The dress was stupid looking and her face was harsh and joker looking in that angeled bob. Her eye brows are at these exagerated angles that look over done, over botoxed, witch like. I liked that Kelly told Heather alot of fans don’t like her. I think that hits her where it hurts and she’s so mean and such a group bully, she deserves it. I hate a group bully more than anything. Heather and Tamra have that in common
I agree! I cannot stomach Vicki anymore. She is screaming her victimhood from the rooftops like she was falsely accused of lying and being complicit in Brooks’ bullshit last season, conveniently forgetting, earlier on, she has already apologized for both. So which is it? Did you lie and aid this man in his bullshit and you’re sorry, or have you been raked over the coals and falsely accused of being a con and a sham?
Please.
The righteous indignation is nauseating. You got caught, he was scum, own it and move on, don’t act like you’re being wronged by everyone for being held accountable.
I fully agree, there was no reason for Shannon or Megan to go to the hospital. And if I was Shannon, and I got hurt, I wouldn’t want Vicki showing up either. It’s fake and unnecessary.
I believed Shannon about the David bit, I’m sure it wasn’t flattering for her to admit she reacted that way when she found out about the affair, rushing into a door. Or that in Hawaii she got so drunk or drugged that she wandered off, fell and hurt herself, and looked a hot mess. That’s not fun to admit. I don’t think David beats her, I think Vicki is a proven liar and in this regard her word means zero to me. She STILL defends Brooks and still acts like she did nothing wrong. I don’t buy a word she says.
Vicki lies like a rug and she still has fans? Now I see why Charles Manson was so effective.
lol I totally agree. I didn’t care for her from day 1 and usually had to mute the TV during her shriek fests and WHOOHOOS. Her love tank has run it’s course and so have her WHOOHOOS. She’s a lying scumbag ho of a cheater – she acted like a ho on nearly every trip we saw, sent texts to Brooks while on the vow renewal with Donn (remember her HUSBAND?) emailed and talked to Brooks for years prior to Donn and her separating officially. She’s just a vile smug old whore. If I was on the other couch I would have jumped across that stage and smacked the holy hell out of her – she’s so smug and self righteous and just sickening. Face it the only reason she turned on Shannon so viciously is because Shannon wanted no real friendship with her – she was all buddy buddy happy happy when they spent time together in Ireland then her true colors came out – meaning Vicki’s.
I felt the other ladies looked hypocritical dogging Shannon and Meaghen for not seeing Vickie in the hospital, when THEY didn’t go either. The truth is they could have gone, but didn’t want to. If it was that important to them they could have arranged it. Instead they projected it on others, because it was inconvient and you know if Vickie was one of their kids or a beloved family member, they would have made it happen. I didn’t like that, and I didn’t like the trying to set up Kelly by getting her drunk in Ireland. No wonder Meghen wants to leave and be a good mother. No mystery there. That’s sociopathic behaviour and Tamra is violent too.She has ZERO room to say she’s a good person and Vickie isnt. She hasnt changed, and yes I can see why her older daughter doesn’t want to speak to her. I used to think Shannon was at least an honest one, but no she totally lied about the set up. What a fine example for her daughter’s and she’s how old? I just lost the last respect I had for Shannon.
“Vicki could not tell the truth if her life depended on it!” Truer words have not been spoken, EnglishRose!
@English Rose. Well put. IMO, people don’t realize the ramifications Vicki’s antics has on Brianna. Brianna is a nurse in OC and it must be so embarrassing for her at the hospital she works at. She has defended Vicki at times but are you suppose to discredit your own reputation in order to please a famewhore who cares of nothing but herself as we have seen over and over and getting worse.
Also, Bravo put a disclaimer at the end of the reunion that they had nothing to do with Vicki’s charity, which is to get leads to hound people to buy cancer insurance. She is a disgrace and has zero credibility now.
Is it just me or does Tamra always start off the season good friends with vicki, then right when the show is wrapping up she turns on her. Almost to secure her position next season. And good lord get Shannon off this show.. she drives me nuts! She makes me want to slit my wrists.. and Heather, good God woman.. you are not the one that knows all, you act as if your say is the only say In the world. And did anyone notice how Tamra was all into God and being good.. until her competition was over, than it was straight back to pot stirring and pot calling kettle black.. at least vicki is consistent
That was exhausting. In my opinion, people who get very defensive are reacting because what was said is true. Shannon must be difficult to live with, along with Heather.
holy hell that’s a good recap T!! And so much dirt, that makes me sick!! Cuz yah the daughters are going to be affected–& frequent drunk date nights between Mom & Dad certainly seems possible, and kids love the aftermath of that shit. Would explain A LOT. I don’t watch the show regularly anymore (but a TT devotee) and Heather always seems to strike me as sinister. I mean, like the word make an audible POP in my head when I see her.
Does anyone else think that ALL the drinking the ladies do is now REALLY showing in / on their faces? I mean, from a “beauty” perspective? I know the look well. The behavior along with the facial…fuck ups is very….aging. No more “youthfulness” regardless of chronological age. Nobody is…dewy. I can see it so visibly in photos….do THEY see it?? (well, megan is dewy)
Sorry don’t get the love for Meghan. Has anyone forgotten the weird probing into someone she doesn’t knows life. Throwing shade on jimmys exes. Taking over the step kids like they were her own. The fact jimmy thinks she’s a twit and treats her that way & still stays with him cause he’s famous. Denying an invite to her 1st party to a established HW because she didn’t answer her the right way. Even though Meghan brought the weird drama on that one. The creepy way she took over the ex wives cancer and made it all about her. And still made it about her.
And I’m sorry it nailed it for me when she sat on the bus and did nothing to protect kelly. Yet. She says I can’t help her cause I don’t know what went down and in the same breath says where is her friend Vickie to defend kelly. If I saw that by a group of random girls in the street I would have protected kelly. U didn’t need to know what was going on to know they were vicious bitches. And anyway the whole reunion she backed the shewolves – Heather, Shannon, and Tamra. Not once defending kelly.
I hate her the most I think.
Meghan wasn’t involved cause she wasn’t there and didn’t know what all happened with Kelly. Vicki was there but in typical Vicki pattern since the spotlight was off of her she didn’t care.
Meghan didn’t throw shade on LeeAnn – not once ever – and if she did to the other one so what? Not like she’s the only wife who doesn’t get along with the ex. She got along fine with LeeAnn. And why are YOU throwing shade on a woman who loves her step children? That’s disgusting to me as a step mother of 4.
I didn’t forget the weird probing, and have wanted her off the show from the beginning. Also, her taking on Jimmy’s exes cancer was very odd….she acted like she was an expert as if SHE were diagnosed. Anyways, we’ll put and totally agree! Bye bye Meghan!
I’m sorry, but these “Chanel” decorations the Housewives have (dog bowls, tacky cushions, furnishings emblazoned with diamanté CCs) don’t look very official to me. They look like they were bought from a market stall or a street vendor somewhere in China. Coco is turning in her grave.
I would have to agree, although in Queen Heather’s case, I know they are real. It doesn’t change the fact that she’s tacky and why is she wearing a prom dress in TT’s ‘caption this’ photo?
LisaPat- that was Heather’s wedding dress lol!
Gay or not Eddie is HOT!!!
Gay or not Eddie is HOT!!!!
I do not believe for a minute Tamra is a better person than Vicki. Tamra to me will always be the biggest pile of dog shit in that kennel.
For the four hundredth time Eddie gay rumors have been circulating for years. The first time I saw Eddie I was on the phone with my friend, who happens to live in OC, and I said oh Tamra is dating a gay guy. It was me! I started the rumor! She laughs it off with Andy and jokes about it so how offended could she be? She is just looking for something to be mad at Vicki about.
Shannon keeps whining about her family and how damaged they are but honey you have no one to blame but yourself. Your kids probably see or hear more than you think and if you truly were concerned you would get that disaster of a marriage off television.
Meghan lost points with me last night.
Brianna stand up for your mom just once please.
I didn’t get to see the whole thing, does anybody know if after Shannon was asked about after she said she called the cops in 2003 why David was charged with battery on a co-habitant if it never got physical? Also did it seem like the story kept changing about how first she thought she fell down near a bar or restaurant they were at – even implied someone slipped something in her drink – but then also said something about trying to break down Adeline’s door – what was that about? Thx…
She was all over the place with that story. I don’t think Vicki used Kelly to spill that tea cause I think Vicki liked having that info to dangle over Shannon and get her to fall in line.
I think the Beador’s get drunk and fight and probably there is hitting on both sides. If you are bruising yourself trying to beat down a door you are no victim cowering in a corner.
1. Meghan absolutely does look the best.
2. Shannon chose her dress from the Carol Brady collection.
3. Too many segments degenerate into screeching shrews.
TT – love the new look and truly enjoy your writing. Coming here is an escape from my reality when I need it. Thank you.
Yep, I’m with you T, feeling Shannon has Bogarted the marital problems joint for way too long. As for David, my suspicions grow each week that he’s not like the rest of us. As in an alien being from another planet. Something about his forehead and the way his skin looks like it’s tired of pretending. Every time Shannon has a talk with him, I expect him to shout, “By Grabthar’s Hammer, you shall be avenged!”
Yeah, reading T’s post again, I find pretty much nothing to justify my Bogarting comment as agreeing with anything she said. I’ve been up 3 days in a blood-spattered apartment caring for my mother, and my mad reading skills are obviously compromised appallingly. Sorry. I stand by the alien thing though.
I like the new layout. Bonus is the beautiful purple! Thanks for all you do, TT!
I think Meghan looks fabulous, she also looks happy. Good for her.
Heather is my pick for worse dress, looks like a figure skater costume reject. I know her dress probably costs more than every outfit I own but it looks cheap.
No words for how horrible these women treat each other.
Great recap. You called it all. Also? I’ve not been a big Meghan fan but at the end of the episode I thought she was one of the cutest pregnant women I’ve ever seen. She wears it well. Heather is a cunt, Shannon is a cunt. Tamra will say or do anything for camera time. Eddie is not gay, but he gives me Bi vibes. Purely in my opinion, based on no knowledge or fact.
Having read Cohen’s latest book, Vicki will be there forever. He’s asked if he could choose a dream HW’s team naming one from each franchise and Vicki is the one from OC.
I wish they’d devote one HW outing to flicking Kelly’s nose every five minutes. She MIGHT learn how obnoxious and juvenile it is. Emphasis on the “might”.
Vicki should have been fired after last seasons cancergate. She hits producers, threw one against a brick wall, was filmed on a phone video literally screaming and reaming out a member of production. On a trip to Mexico with Lydia and Tamra they were told specifically not to go outside of certain areas yet there she went – no respect for the show or the overtime or the scrambling that the crew had to do in order to keep them safe and follow them. I’ve been a fan of the show since day one – after this season if Vicki comes back I will watch just in the hopes of watching her be all alone – if Kelly comes back I won’t watch at all.
Vicki will there there till they cancel HER show. Kelly will be back “because all of america loves her!”
Fantasy road trip next season. All housewives descend on Meghan in St. Louis to see the new baby…Meghan doesn’t answer the door bell.
Thought Kelly’s dress was not flattering; a large bust needs full support.
No matter how many times that cunt of a disloyal daughter Brianna throws her mom under the bus Vicki never says a bad word against her
For me best line of the night was Kelly telling Heather everyone hates you ?
And the most delusional line out of Kelly’s’ mouth as well… “everyone loves me” um no they don’t. I’ll take Heather any day of the week over Kelly.
Brianna is supposed to do what? Lie and not point out her mothers many flaws? Not disloyal – truthfull
Why should Brianna say anything about her mother, even if it is her truth it doesn’t mean she should be sharing it on TV!
Why shouldn’t she be allowed to speak the truth when asked? It’s their real life and as such she has every right to say whatever she wants to about her mother.
Because it’s no one’s business. Yeah, reality TV, blah, blah, blah. But some things should remain private.
I would NEVER talk about my mother that way. She was far from perfect, but had her good points. And I respected and understood her choices.
Why are you so bitter, Marilyn?
Not bitter in the least – I see Vicki as totally and utterly reprehensible. You respect and understand a woman screaming at her own daughter, calling her a liar when told that her boyfriend hit on her and offered to show her “Girth Brooks”? Was given proof that he advised her son in law to beat his little woman so she’d behave? You understood all of that? Did your own mother ever cover up for a cancer liar? Did your mother say she’d still stand behind that same guy again? (As Vicki has)
How ironic I just turned the TV on and what do I see? An old movie with Joan Crawford (Mommy Dearest)
No, but since you asked, my mother stayed silent being married to a sadistic pedophile.
I asked, because you seem hell bent on attacking everyone on this board. And it’s getting old.
The fact that you boasted about how you handle clients says a lot about YOUR character.
That’s all.
And you sound like Vicki with her reasoning like Shannon mentioned last nite – talk about this don’t talk about that. She puts herself into the public spotlight – deal with good and bad. If my mother had chosen dick over her relationship with me I’d never speak to her again…
Vickie did NOT chose “dick” over her children! She is a grown woman and she can date whomever she chooses, meaning that she can get prison-married to Charles Manson if she wants! How dare any child give her own mother an ultimatum about her love life, how dare Briana! The scope of the situation is LOST on you, sadly. But, whether we like your Mother’s choice in a partner or not, it’s not for us to say.
Ok if you say so. Nothing is lost on me either, Vicki chose dick over her flesh and blood. Period
Children have a right to speak up when they think their mother is dating a manipulative, controlling con man. They also have a right to remove themselves and disassociate for their own health and the health of their family. I would do the same if I were in Briana’s position. Vicky is a master of making everything about her, playing the victim. She lost any respect when she made Briana’s surgery about how it affected her-on the way to Briana’s surgery.
Marilyn usually I can agree to disagree and not argue with people especially on TT. However, you are really piss in me off about the hill you have chosen to die defending. Vicki and Brianna have a complicated relationship, like most mothers and daughters. You seem to think you know all the inside information, motive and history, along with a big helping of mind reading, in their lives. You dont! nobody does, it it a TV show.
You seem to be very hung up on it being a right to speak your mind and Brianna saying anything to anyone about her mother being her right. I was always taught rights come with responsibilities. So it might be my right to say I think you, Marilyn, are a rude, malicious cunt satchel and if I was your daughter I’d run as far away as fast as possible. I would also be responsible for any consequences of saying it, including bringing down the entire post to the lowest standard. So I might need to think about what I have the right to say and consider if it is necessary or helpful and if I want to be held accountable for saying it.
Just because you have the right doesn’t mean you should do it!
What’s disgusting is that Shannon thinks it’s ok to bring up daughters who watch the abuse take place. Verbal, physical, drunk…whatever the abuse may be, they have seen it all.
I like Vicki. Shannon thinks that if she never speaks to Vicki again that it will somehow hurt Vicki instead of realizing that she would only be hurting herself. Shannon will be the one fired not Vicki. I hope it is sooner than later. Tamra actually said that she was a better person than Vicki. Judge not least ye be judged Mrs. Judge. Tamra should have been fired after she assaulted the first woman. Tamra can be scary. I really wanted to give Heather a chance without her 2 buddies. But after this show I see her ..I do mean see her. She is cold. I doubt Heather will get fired because of Botched. Kelly needs another season ,it is too soon to tell what she is really like. I don’t have a problem with Meagan. But please no more egg..sperm..frozen..shots..enough is enough with that stuff that should be on a medical show.
Meagan’s fashion was beautiful. I liked Heather’s dress, it reminded me of the dresses my mom used to sew for me back in the 60’s only mine had a tie belt that could also be used as a bow in the back. Shannon looked frumpy.
I agree. Just wanted you to know you aren’t alone here.
Thank you
ITA. Think Vicki is getting blamed too much for the con man’s lies. And my opinion of Heather has changed this season too. Same opinion re: the medical stuff, I literally have to turn the channel when that is on…yuck. The first year I thought Shannon was kind of refreshing but then she just seemed to turn into more of a self-righteous shrew or something…weird…Happy Thanksgiving/
I couldn’t get past the “rumor” conversations.
Shannon with all of her “now my kids are being affected” blah, blah. It’s all on Shannon, the bottom line is the only way this was repeated by Kelly & Vicki is because SHANNON spoke of it first. No one can share your secrets unless if you don’t tell them the secret. Somehow I don’t think Shannon and Vicki were best friends outside of work.
I agree you should be able to confide in a friend but to be honest I never share anything that I would not want repeated because basically I don’t trust people and especially not to a co-worker. Who wants everyone in the office to know about your personal business??
Did you happen to see the clip of her and Vicki on a beach in Mexico where Vicki states “I’ll never betray you”? Vicki would sell her own kid out if it suited her …. oh wait that’s right she DID put dick before daughter….
Yes I did. The fact that we saw it means it was filmed and there was a camera crew and they were working. This makes Vicki a coworker and who would be stupid enough to share their deepest darkest secret at work? I don’t go to work looking for best friends. If I happen to like my coworkers great but there are limits.
Yeah Shannon’s fault for trusting Vicki thinking they were real friends and they were on and off camera. With your reasoning, by Vicki only being a coworker, you admitted she can’t be trusted.
I disagree with blaming people for what other people do to them. Because someone is too trusting or too kind hearted or too in love, doesn’t make it ok for someone to take advantage of it. I’ve noticed that attitude is increasing. I was talking to a neighbor about a guy we know that’s been seeing a woman for years and he won’t marry her, and we know she is waiting and waiting for it. I said I thought he was mean to not let her know he doesn’t want to marry her. My neighbor says oh it’s her fault, she is responsable for ensuring that happens. I didn’t think that was very nice. I also think it’s unrealistic and unfair to expect our grown kids to not have an opinion or be affected by our choices. It’s not ok for mom to marry Charles Manson, and we should care about showing standards and integrity. It does matter and they won’t have respect for a parent that shows complete and utter disregard for right and wrong and is willing to destroy the family over dick, and let user dick take everything. Sure you can do that as a grown woman, but dont be surprised if theres a price to pay. It may be pretty steep and the user low life will take away your dignity and the pride your kids had for yeah.
Got any more petite jewels of awful advice? ‘Stay silent about domestic violence’ …said no dead victim of domestic violence ever.
I have always liked Vicki. There. I said it.
Yeah, yeah, cancer scam. I get it. But you know, maybe I’m projecting here, but there was a time when I joined Amway because my then boyfriend and his parents were into it. Funny, the things you will do when desperate.
I haven’t seen the show in awhile. Maybe if I had, I would change my mind.
You’re seriously equating Amway with lying about cancer? SMFH
Yes. I am.
If you had ever heard their sales pitch on vitamins, you would see what I mean.
Ok no comparison in my mind but
A cult is a cult is a cult.
And a scam is a scam.
They all exploit people for money.
Vicki was not a victim of love but a co-conspirator. The blinded by love crap would of been true if she wasn’t peddling cancer cure juice and stupid bracelets to get insurance leads. She cooked this up as the perfect plan; Brooks gets accepted for being sick and using the show for publicity to make money. People who don’t like her at least have some morals.
With all due respect, you don’t know me. To claim that I have no morals is absurd.
But, you are entitled to your opinion. And so am I.
You seem like a nice person but very confused on the difference between right and wrong in this situation. What Vicki and Brooks did was beyond petty housewife stuff. IMO they capitalized on people’s fears to make a profit and Vicki continued to even after everything was exposed. That’s why I think she is not a poor lovelorn victim (her excuse). Pretty low in my book to use TV as a platform to make a buck (when she already has plenty of $). Sorry if I offended you and other Vicki fans, but it’s pretty revealing to me a people’s character who overlooks her obvious lies and behavior. Hope you have a nice Thanksgiving.
I’m not confused. And not a “fan” of any housewife or anyone on reality TV.
But thanks, anyway.
You have a nice Thanksgiving, too.
I wish Vicki would join Jill Zarin and just get fired already. She’s no Nene Leakes who at least brought in the viewers for Atlanta. I join the rest who believes the OC is the weakest of all the housewives series- it is even worse than Dallas and Potomac and that is pretty bad.
What a bunch of horrible women, just think if your friends/co-workers whatever you want to call them acted like that. Vicki is the worst for me, told secrets to Kelly and well, she says anything and then gives an “I am sorry” that are just words to her. Vicki is the puppet master. Too many mistakes on her part, you know what they are and the list is long.
When i worked in an office with a bunch of women..some of them now my friends. I never told them anything about my personal life. If they asked if I was dating.. I said ” no time at the moment.” Hell, I was going through a divorce. Business is business ..work is work. I shared with friends from college. I had 30 loans I was processing for families who wanted to buy homes. I always hated the backstabbing and in fighting. I left and got a better job.
I did you one better – I quit work and started my own business – never leave the house and best part no bitchy backstabbing people.
Kudos.. eventually I branched out also… Happier now than ever.
Now when clients give me a hard time I can say oops sorry I can’t hear you CLICK
I just want that milkshake Shannon is drinking and a flask of fireball. All this holiday prep is making me thirsty! Thank goodness, the tea is always hot here. Love you, TT.
Shannon and David are fake drinking that milkshake, look at the empty straws.
I bet Shannon drank it. I mean, I see a sister in Love with Carbs in Shannon
Tried FIreball once! The intense cinnamon was beyond my palate. Changing subject but seeing guys on below deck guzzling this stuff is insane!
I hear if you mix it with cream soda, it tastes like a cinnamon roll. Yum!
Yum times ten!
Oh gosh… I like Vicki too. Thing is they all do the same thing, it’s just easier to make it appear truthful when you have people backing you up and by that I mean the “cancer scam”… a jeez could be crucified here…. I think Vicki desperately wanted Brooks and was caught between a rock and a hard place and expected her friends NOT to make it their mission to out the situation to the world. They have called her so many names, compromised her business/potential earnings etc. I was so HAPPY she finally said that Shannon owed her an apology for calling her a con woman. She’s trying to play “their game”, in as much as after the last few years it would seem that nothing is “off camera”, but doesn’t have the wall of support to validate her claims even though we know Heather has. I understand that domestic violence is an uber sensitive issue and I’m not trying to minimise the seriousness of the allegations BUT Tamra has basically lived the last however many years regurgitating rumours to “bring it” – Bass Lake, Shannon & David, in on the cancer business etc she never backpedals with her rumour spreading she states it as verbatim making her the horrible person in my mind, not Vicki – you challenge her and she just says it LOUDER! Same with Heather, she yeah but’s her way out of situations. Didn’t Shannon gossip about Brianna? Why won’t Andy call them ON THEIR bullshit. I’m so frustrated by this show. I think the worst moment, oh god there were so many, was Tamra when she ran out after Shannon and her pep talk re Vicki – it’s like a mantra she tells them over and over again! There is an obvious disconnect in Shannon’s marriage, the way David behaves is like a man promising not to do something again.
Vicki is still alone because Kelly is a loose canon. I’m not a Kelly fan per se, I’m a fan of the women exposing themselves.
Look, I’ll admit it, I got a casserole in the oven for Vicki. Girlfriend, an overshare has gotten me in hot water before! And we all know, Brianna only cooks casseroles for Tamra!
I’m hoping Shannon gets the boot for refusing to film with Vicki, I don’t want to see Vicki go out this way!
Great comment!
While I agree with 99% of your comments. However , when Vicki brought up the Jesus Christ comment..
It went beyond being a mistaken moment and transgressed into hubris
When did Shannon ever say she refused to film with Vicki? She said she would never speak to here again as is her right so she can still be in the show and not have to directly speak to Vicki. One season Tamra and her barely spoke directly to each other. Getting rid of one housewife for Shrieky will just surely feed into her maniacal and out of control ego.
When did Vickie ever say “I chose dick over my kids?” That never happened either but you seem to think it did. Matter of fact, Vickie kept the man she loved away from her family and the home she bought with her own money , just to satisfy Briana and her obnoxious husband. Brooks wasn’t even allowed there on Christmas! But, you still think she chose dick over her kids. Vickie ended her relationship with Brooks, but you still think she chose dick over kids. You are one of those people who will keep saying the same thing because, just because you say so – because! Even if what you are saying has been disproven 40 times over. I’m watching a show called “The Crown” and the king walked away from his entire family and the crown and the country for love! So, in that circumstance, he chose pussy over his family, but not in this one.
Relax..chill out it’s a tv show.
Fuck Brianna. If I was Vick I’d be using some tough love right around now and close that check book.
I’m dying LOL at dalaimama’s David description! He’s so Men in Black alien – just waiting for the forehead to peel open now…Snort!
I loved the “TV Heather” comment as well as OG Vick telling Shannon that it was okie doke for her to never speak to her again. Caused a pause with that one.
The Glamis wreck footage remains horrific. Tamra could have really killed all of them.
Oh, if wishes were cheeseburgers….
The scariest clip was not the dune accident, but Tamra hysterically crying on the bus in Ireland with her eyes OPEN. It is super creepy.
Tamra could do with some acting classes. So could Heather.
I’m confused about a couple things. Shannon claims the “abuse/not abuse” incident was in 2003.
Did she and Vicki know each other that long ago? Also, she claims that that was when she first learned of the affair. I’m so confused, can someone help? Did they mean to say 2013?
I don’t think Vicki is telling the truth. Kelly told me about this when I met her in June…she was drunk and spilled the tea. At least the Hawaii scenario isn’t true
What is it with Vickie and being in shitty relationships where she isn’t appreciated? For example, with her daughter Brianna. There is no excuse to how shitty Brianna treats her mother on national television. She not only throws her under the bus, she backs it up and runs over her again and again. She’s the absolute worst. Vickie is an idiot. She needs to cut Brianna out of her life until she can learn to be loyal. Asshole.
Megan looked the best, and I liked her a lot this season. Shannon and Heather had some ugly dresses on.
I think that is why I keep pulling for Vicki. It’s really hard to be successful without support. And yet, she did it on her own and takes care of all the ne’er do wells in her life.
TT, I totally agree with your comment. Plus, everyone seems to forget that Vicki lost her mother fairly recently. I didn’t see an outpouring of compassion for her regarding that. And we all can make really stupid choices & say wrong shit when in shock and grieving.
I finally stopped watching the shitshows but continue to read your awesome recaps!
Shannon is crazy. I can’t stand her. She used to be my favorite. She’s taken over the show with her David drama and I fast forward it, it’s boring. I’ve lost interest in the show — it’s less “reality” TV and more “show” TV and all fake. This is the most unlikeable cast. It’s so obvious that Shannon’s marriage is over it’s embarrassing to watch the charade and fakery. Dollars to donuts David still cheats. I don’t believe any single iota of it. Plus Shannon has become shrieky and hysterical and lying — why is she trying so hard to convince everyone? FAKE
I always liked Vicki but she’s gotten boring. The comments here are way too harsh on Brianna. It’s her mom. I took her comment to mean she thought her mom was “milking” it for attention in a loving way not that she was throwing her under the bus and Vicki chose to stay with scumbag Brooks.
At the end of the day — what is most bizarre– is the production lack of focus on the real drama. The reunion just randomly rehashed the show and didn’t focus on anything. Worst reunion ever. Say what you want but Andy used to be good about getting to the issues. Now they just bounce around and have hissy fits and then we have to listen to Heather’s bullshit spin like she’s a politician and anyone even cares — really — about her life and her properness. They are all crazy but it’s the delusion this season that is becoming glaringly apparent and offputting. They all seem delusional.
We’re revisiting the Shannon and David dynamic in this post today. At the time the fact that they frequently brawled was acknowledged by all the housewives. Tamra just didn’t want Vicki to mention it at the reunion.
And the Hawaii trip the couple take caused them to return banged up…
