Shannon
Shannon meets with Elaine, the feng shui consultant about her new house. Fittingly, she has a toilet in her relationship area. One of her kids has a professional makeup artist come in to make her look 35 for her winter formal. I can’t believe that David is going to let her leave the house like this.
Meghan
I don’t think motherhood is going the way that Meghan envisioned it. Wow, I was right. This talking head is brutal. Hopefully it is like my first week with Banjo when I thought about taking him back to the pound.
Lydia
Lydia and Doug go do a photoshoot for their new magazine. They sold the Beverly Hills magazine to their partner. I think the old magazine is the one LVP is editing now. They go to a site to do a photo shoot and Peggy, the new housewife and her husband, Diko come to the location. Doug tells Lydia not to hug her hard because she just had “a mastectomy or something.”It is the very first scene and already it is a promotional scene for Diko’s wheel company. Strike one. Peggy’s mom passed away from breast cancer so she had a double mastectomy. WOW. What a first scene.
Peggy
Peggy is Armenian and Diko is Lebanese. They have been married 21 years and have two teenaged daughters. They have a big family dinner and talk about her medical issues. Then Diko makes a big production out of giving her a diamond necklace and a diamond bracelet. The chyron lets us know they cost someone almost $200K. They are also ugly. The bracelet is pavé diamonds.
Kelly
Kelly says that she and Michael are in a better place at the moment. They go to workout together in a promo for a gym that is not Tamra’s.
Vicki
Vicki is freaking out over the stress for moving her office. When she comes home, Brianna is nervous about seeing Tamra at Ava’s birthday party.
Tamra
Ava who is about to turn two is having a birthday party at a beer garden. I don’t know who this blonde chick is that Tamra is talking to. Oh it’s Ava’s mother. She invited Brianna and Tamra has defriended Brianna on all social media since the The Short Bus Incident of 2016.
The party is pretty adorable. It’s one of the cutest set ups I’ve seen on a housewives franchise. Brianna brings her boys just long enough to show them what they are missing out on before they leave. It is good versus evil when Lydia meets Shannon for the first time. Lydia is very sweet to Shannon and relays to her that Tamra has said so many nice things about her. Lydia says she knew Tamra back when she was still friends with Vicki. She says that she went to dinner recently with Vicki and she caught her up on the whole falling out. Lydia’s mom meets Shannon and tells her she has such a bright energy about her. Clearly, she’s high. Then she throws confetti over them and yells, “YAY!” I am not making this up.
Later, Lydia sits down with Tamra and Shannon. She tells Tamra that she had dinner with Vicki. Tamra basically says do whatever you’d like with Vicki, it’s fine. Shannon says that the things Vicki said about their husbands last year were unconscionable things. Lydia says that it seems like they acted the same way Vicki acted. Shannon tells her she’s offended by the comparison. Shannon starts yelling at her saying that Vicki’s lies hurt their daughters and Vicki made her gain forty pounds. Um, Shannon, you have emasculated your husband on national TV for a few YEARS now. I think the girls were already traumatized. And you did call the cops on David for domestic violence and a police report was taken and he was booked down at da jailhouse!
Thankfully, Lydia’s husband comes to save her from Shannon. But when she goes to tell Tamra she’s leaving, the conversation begins again because Tamra stirred the pot. Lydia lets Shannon rant some more and then she says she doesn’t think they are going to get along, and she doesn’t want to hang out with Shannon. Shannon storms off the party scene yanking of her microphone pack and screaming that she is done.
Next week: The girls all go to dinner and Shannon has a full-blown plate throwing tantrum in the restaurant.
Shannon is a fucking nut job. She is miserable herself and she wants all those around her to be as well. Tamra Sue has not changed on but, she is still stirring the pot acting all innocent. Lydia really is a sweet soul and why she came back to the craziness is beyond me, maybe they needed a force of goodness. I dispise Tamra and her behavior, she can be fun but the ugly out weighs that exponentially. I am kind of excited about the bathroom scene next week, I do love when Kelly gets a little crazy. She is nuts also by in a very different way than Shannon.
Oh please they’re all fucking nut jobs!!! I really liked Lydia the last time she was on the show. She seems to be a sweet person but she’s either looking for a bigger role this season or she had it out for Shannon because she seemed to be trying to stir the pot. They all have certain buttons you can push that make them psycho, anyone who’s seen the show knows there are things you can say to any of them that will send them into orbit and she seemed to be closed off to Shannon from the beginning of the conversation and aiming for her crazy button. I agree it’s painful to watch when she goes off the deep end because she’s so ridged instead of inherently crazy like Kelly. But I feel bad for her, she is clearly going through a bad time right now and she seems to at least be a decent person…. unlike a few of the others sometimes.
Agreed. I really don’t like Lydia. She knew what she was doing when she mentioned Vicki and her having lunch to Shannon. She’s not as sweet as people think she is but I do like her mother.
I’m assuming Lydia and company returned to promote their new magazine. Honestly I wish she wouldn’t have but I adore her mom so I’ll suffer through Lydia.
So over these Housewives. Do not like the new housewife can’t really stand Lydia. Oklahoma ladies are great I’ll just stick to that and Rhony.
Well I really like Lydia, and I’m glad she is back. What is wrong with someone who truly loves God, happily married, family-oriented, and has a great light in her eyes. She balances the wickedness of their other housewives (not really but some what).
As for Peggy, I get a colder vibe from her, like Melania Trump. I’m not sure if it’s because of her Armenian culture. Her mastectomy scene was meant to be endearing, but it fell so flat. Hopefully, she gains traction as the season progresses.
Armenian girl here. It has nothing to do with Armenian culture. That’s like saying all Italians are like Teresa Giudice. Tell that to Susan Lucci. No, it’s just Peggy or maybe it’s Orange County (and NJ).
Hey! Kinda hypocritical. The same is true with blaming it on Orange County or NJ. Same type of stereotyping. People are who they are, they make their choices in life. They are influenced by their culture but I find the over generalizing annoying.
I love the Oklahoma ladies too. I am finding myself FF through almost all the other shows. I couldn’t even watch Shahs. They are all so dark now. My heart breaks a bit for Shannon, she is on the edge of a breakdown.
Me too on Oklahoma ladies. They aren’t the richest, but they are the most fun.
Me too! They actually seem like friends. And I love the goofball Q and A that they do with locals in between scenes. Could do without the man-bun though.
I agree with you Sunday.Oklahoma ad RHONY are the only good ones left. I do feel bad for Shannon. As far as Lydia goes, I feel like she knew exactly what she was doing when she pushed Shannon’s buttons. I don’t think she’s any more of a Christian than the others. The comment she made about wanting to see her children till she’s been there for a little bit and then she just wants them to go away, or something to that effect shows me what type of person she is, but then I’m a bit of a b**** so I guess it takes one to know one LOL
SO HAPPY that others love the Oklahoma ladies too ! I found myself laughing so much and remembered THAT’S what is great about television. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good cat fight but these housewives shows are too much. Shannon is truly ill and Bravo is exploiting it . Shahs I can’t take with the constant curses-it’s just too much.
I think it’s more like menopause. (which can feel like a breakdown-speaking from personal experience ; ) )
She’s lost most of what made her endearing Season 1. When she’s on screen, I start to feel anxious! I feel like I can hear this constant high pitched squeal when she’s talking.
I hope she starts to take responsibility for her pain and stops blaming it on other people (even if they have hurt her ) because that is the key to empowerment and growth. Blaming it all on Vicki isn’t going to make Shannon loose weight or feel better, she’ll be a perpetual victim and miserable. I hope she finds her way. She’s all twisted and in pain. A donut (or 3) sure looks good when you feel that way.
Damn good recap. I love Lydia, and I’m glad she’s back.
I can’t stand Brianna! What in the hell was the point of her going to that party with her kids? She’s pretending like she has her mom’s back when she was one of the main ones talking about her.
Tamra is literally her favorite person to trash Vicki with. Now all the sudden she is on Vicki’s side? I give it two episodes before she is trashing her mother to someone else.
I don’t get along with my mom. I wish I did but she’s never been particularly kind to me. That being said, I would NEVER trash her on Tv, talk behind her back etc, especially while borrowing her money and using her to babysit my kid.
I like Brianna the first few seasons. Dunno what happened to her. I also don’t care for that guy she married.
I think Brianna and Tamara shared a mutual disdain and lifting of their eyebrows about Brooks’ shenanigans to try to genuinely protect Vicki from him. And as it turned out they were absolutely right. it’s my perception Vicky got herself in way too deep with the Brooks thing completely ignoring what her friends and loved ones were trying to beg of her and the only way she could save face in her egotistical mind was to lie her way out of it. So because of Vicki’s lies, it caused a whole other domino effect with everyone which was completely unnecessary and additionally damaging. I think Brianna felt didn’t have a choice but to express some of the ways Vicky goes about things the wrong way in trying to deflect what she should take responsibility for so Briana wouldn’t be associated with such manipulative tactics we all witnessed Vicki trying to weave. I know I wouldn’t want to be associated with being a part of the same stuff if it were my friend, my cousin, my mother, or whomever in my circle if someone was trying to pull that bullshit. What’s right is right and what’s wrong is wrong.
Shannon is so consumed with her righteous indignation about Vicky outing David’s arrest that she really cannot see how awful she’s become. It’s no wonder David looks tortured all of the time and only has eyes for Eddie.
The most astonishing thing about this season for me is how great Jim Edwards seems to be with little Aspen. He is actually showing signs of a personality with her! He’s obviously been through all of it before, but I don’t know how much Meghan was looking past the “sweet baby in girly outfits” aspect of parenting. She seemed very naïve about the huge amount of work involved with a baby. I also had to laugh as she was going on and on about HW’s drama in the car and Jim finally cut in with “What are we having for dinner?” I see that he is as interested in the show as ever, which is a wise choice for him.
Shannon is so consumed with her righteous indignation about Vicky outing David’s arrest that she really cannot see how awful she’s become…
Ugh, you are so right. Shannon has been consumed with righteous indignation from day one though, seemingly about everyone and everything. It’s a big reason why I’ve always found her so insufferable. I think I’d die of shock if she ever just would go with the flow for once.
And I especially have to roll my eyes and SMH when people, like Shannon, go on reality TV and think that their old dirty laundry isn’t going to be discovered and then aired. David’s domestic violence arrest is PUBLIC RECORD! It was going to come out sooner or later, one way or another. But no, it’s Vicki’s fault for mentioning it. And it’s certainly NOT David’s fault for knocking her around in the first place! Right, Shannon.
And do not forget that Vicki is the one shoveling food down her gullet!
I’m trying to figure out who to blame for my thighs and rear. I didn’t know that I could until I heard Shannon say that. Hmmmm…. maybe my mother in law?
My thoughts exactly!! Couldn’t have said it better.
Perhaps my memory is as feeble as my back feels, but I swear that Shannon wasn’t upset about Vicki discussing the ’03 incident – you’re right, it’s public record so they had to be prepared for that to come out. I do recall Vicki claimed recently during the time of David’s affair that David and Shannon had a fight one night where David had Shannon so terrified that she was hiding in the closet and called Vicki for help – insinuating that he abused Shannon and that’s why she was hiding in the closet. Unless I dreamed up that entire scene, I would imagine it was that revelation/lie from Vicki during the reunion was what enraged Shannon since she and David had renewed their vows and were on-track to salvage their marriage.
I was going to post something similar about Jim. He seemed so disinterested when Meghan was going through ivf, but the way he acts with Aspen is wonderful and genuine.
Tamra is trashy, always has been, always will be. If I were the baby mama, I would have moved her out of the way so I could help my baby blow out her first birthday candle. Guess this must have been a birthday party by Bravo.
Shannon is horrible. Yes, she has dealt with a bunch…affair, cancer scandal, Vicki outing her domestic violence past, but geez, girl put down the nacho! Production must have gotten a chuckle out of that.
I realized watching the show that Megan and Jim have a very dry sense of humor with each other. The whole “more importantly, what are we having for dinner” where they both cracked up, and her talking head where she was joking about how being a mommy was all sunshine and rainbows made me realize it.
Oh, and the clips of them dealing with gassy spit up baby were funny… definitely not Jim’s first rodeo, but he was at least nice in tone to Megan when he was making suggestions to her when the baby was fussy (and she knows when to ignore him)
I enjoyed seeing a housewife look like she was a mom, worn out and a bit helpless … but happy to be a mom and not just bossing around 5 around the clock nannies while waving “I’m a graeat mom banner.”
Amen!! I really like Megan. I didn’t understand her the 1st season and why she was coming for Brooks so hard until the end. Last season I found her to be the kindest, most mature and rational one of the bunch. She did well to hold herself together on that mini bus trip from/to Hell. I’m glad she’s back this season and pray she stays to true to her roots. That said, I also like Kelly, for better or worse. I think. We’ll see. I want to like the Lebanese guy and his wife (cause I’m Lebanese) Peggy but I’m not sure I will. It’s too early to tell. Let’s contrast his behavior with that of Richie from NJ.
It’s my contention that Richie is the exception and his behavior and the things he had to say were cringe worthy and embarrassing and the opposite way any Lebanese man would behave regarding women. Women are respected. At least in my family/community they were/are. (As the years go on perhaps the older generation is leaving us? Maybe it’s just indicative of the world or maybe I’m just rambling.)
If they are living in St Louis at all, she has family who will keep her true.
I hope she married Mr. Edmonds with a clear understanding of who he is. Devoted to his kids and baseball.
Omg what is Shannon doing? She has completely lost it, same behavior we saw in her first season ! Love Lydia she’s so sweet. Peggy we didn’t much on just background so we will see. Nothing new with Tamara and Vicki same stuff different day, waiting to see next week when Shannon makes a spectacle out of her self flinging plates at Kelly it seems
Shannon needs professional medical help NOT holistic hocus pocus. That woman is insane! It’s the second episode and already she’s storming off and ripping the mic pack off. Her natural remedies only give her false comfort when she really needs real therapy and and probably pharmaceuticals.
And she should really take her own words at face value when she says “I am done!” The show is doing nothing positive for her or her family. She just continues to show the world just how awful and unstable she really is. If she was smart, she should have gone for the ‘redemption season’ storyline that brighter housewives have chosen in the past.
But ya gotta love Lydia’s comment, “She also said that you were a lost soul”. Burn!
That’s why I love Lydia, she is the one who really does tell the truth and she does it coming from a place of good unlike Shannon who doesn’t
I so agree with you plus she needs Cool Sculpting or Sono Bello if she is unhappy with the extra weight she has the $$$
I assume Briana gets paid in some capacity to be on this show. I cant think of any other reason she would attend Tamra’s grand daughter’s birthday party.
It seems like Peggy should be on the RHOBH franchise. It might have been my tv, but I thought Peggy’s makeup looked horrible in her first scene with Lydia. Very well could have been my crappy tv though.
Shannon eating that nacho while Tamra and Lydia were talking was kinda funny, and I cant stand Shannon at all.
It feels like there are too many cast members on this season. I totally forgot about Meghan all together.
I think that they look unkept because Bravo only provides hair/makeup for confessionals and reunions. They are responsible for their day-to-day filming hair/makeup & wardrobe. ( said Tamra from RHOC).
So unless you have a glam squad like Erika Jayne, or personal stylist like Dorit, then you are screwed (think Potomac & Dallas women during filming).
Does anyone know Peggy’s history? Has she appeared on one of these shows before? Her face seems so familiar to me….or maybe I watch too much of this ridiculousness and everyone is starting to look and sound alike.
I’m getting brunette, Armenian Camille Grammer?
Totally!
Is Lydia some kind of stealth bitch these days? She immediately asks Peggy “So, I hear you got a mastectomy” two seconds after meeting her, and then when Peggy said, “Yes, I did, and here’s why…” Lydia’s like, “Whoa! TMI, Peggy.” [Paraphrasing all of that, obviously]
I don’t think there is anything stealth about this one — even her approach to Shannon was “hiya, nice to meetcha, we’ll I’ve known Tamra since she was best friends with Vicki”. And she didn’t take her eyes off Shannon’s face when she said it. Just an everyday holy shit stirrer.
I think so too, major shit stirrer. I don’t see the sweetness at all. Grates on my nerves. As far as Brianna talking about Vicki, maybe it’s because Icky Vicki constantly chose that creep Brooks over her family. By the way Vicki looks to be pretty overweight.
I agree. The whole time I was thinking, no one starts conversations like this. I don’t know if Lydia changed or the show is telling her to change. It was not a goid look. I am going to be disappointed if she keeps the shit stirring up; I used to like her! She made Tamara look normal!
If Vicki has gained weight it’s all Shannons fault!
LoL Just, yes it is, or all her lies have turned to fat and are backing up on her.
Totally agree, Lydia stirred the pot!
Well….I’ve finally had enough! No more RHOC for me. I have never seen a more pathetic and sad representation of insecure ( need a man to validate my existence) women in the Grand Ol’ USA in my life. Yes! the majority of these women are uneducated and live in a reality bubble of their own making. We know this. What bothers me most is the MORE misogynistic editors, Andy Cohen recently hired to make it even worse. Its so obvious. I got thru 15 minutes of this episode and just could not take it ….anymore.
Just a couple of women’s grooming questions…
Peggy’s greasy matted hair, is that supposed to be in style? It just looked dirty and unkempted to me.
Shannon’s daughter’s makeup, what’s with the white/silver blotches on the inside corners of her eye lids? If the makeup artist (and everyone else in the room) approved, then I’m at a loss for words. It looked ridiculous.
From the scenes for next week, it looks like a restaurant employee approaches the table immediately after Shannon flings the plate at Kelly. Hopefully she was humiliated and asked to leave.
They got kicked out the the restaurant, ironically called something like “Quiet Woman”
Oh wow! There really is a restaurant named Quiet Woman in Corona Del Mar. And indeed, it sure looks like the place from the preview clip.
Ironic name considering Shannon’s meltdown, lol.
I think the white/silver botches are a thing now. I think it was a long time ago, too if I remember correctly. I remember wearing a pair of shoes and my 89 year old grandfather commented to my grandma “look at her shoes,” (meaning mine) and my grandma said “I know.” She said she had some like them a long time ago. Later I found a picture of her from the 40’s wearing them.
Shannon should be banned from public events and spaces. Everyone on the crew should get hazard pay. David should climb under the catering table the second they arrive somewhere and work on his prepper plans. They have 3 beautiful girls and it says everything that in these scenes, Tamra was the lone voice of reason.
Get thee to the therapist asap Shannon.
As annoying as I think Shannon is, I’m going to break out the popcorn and enjoy watching her meltdowns this season. At this point she’s ridiculous and lacks any credibility in any dispute. She takes no accountability for her actions and immediately resorts to her manipulation tactics. – yell, throw a fit, cry and run away.
Her whole family has to embarrassed by her antics. Shannon’s lacks any self control and behaves like a child.
Kelly may be swinging below the belt at the restaurant but come on you’re a grown woman you don’t throw plates in a restaurant. Her behavior at a 2 yr olds party, yeesh! At this point she shouldn’t be attending any functions outside of private residences, complete and total embarrassment.
I am in agreement and and laughing and laughing my a$$ off Popcorn must be what I was missing to make this show bearable I did not watch but your comment is making me think twice along with Tattles’ recap Thanks
I thought Vicki looked bad. She looked unkept, tired and not polished, especially the time she met w/Lydia for lunch.
My favorite are the scenes for nsct weeks episodes. Kelly at the restaurant telling Shannon to eat some more. Love it Kelly goes for the juggler.
I’m Desna! Come on Girl! Get with me. Let my words fly.
OMG! that show….
-Love that show
Yes! I found myself watching CLAWS instead of RHOP or Shahs. Niecy Nash is everything!
I haven’t watched the episode yet, but I can’t wait for next weeks episode. I really liked Shannon her first season, she was fun and in need of friends. Now that she has told Vicki all of her secrets she is in a bad place and can’t get out. Until she lets David go I’m afraid we only get to see the crazy Shannon and not the fun goofy one.
Shannon always says everyone else is hurting her family with gossip (that she herself started) but doesn’t think her drunken crazy outburst are affecting them. She’s just using vicki as a story line because no one is interested in her bad marriage so she keeps going after vicky. Oh and loved it when lydia called out tamera and shannon for acting like vicky so spot on. Them two trash talk vicky every chance the get.
Apparently Tamra needed a break this season & Lydia has to do all of the “dirty work” & by that I mean, say Vicki around Shannon and watch her flip out. I feel like this season is going to drag on with 2 season old drama. The only good parts of this episode were the shots of Jim because YUM! & Lydias mother throwing things on people.
I blame Shannon and the entire housewife franchise for making me fat. I feed my pie hole with junk food while I enjoy watching the train wrecks… just saying
lmao right
If Vicki would pay Brooks $10,000 to tell Steve how to “fill her love tank” the way she likes it all three of them would be happier.
If Shannon signed up for Outward Bound – maybe with her three daughters – she’d lose the weight and gain enough self confidence to not flip out when others refuse the job of building up her self confidence for her which is impossible anyway.
Heather is waiting on a splashy payday of some type to reveal her house, but I don’t believe Architectural Digest is interested in that monstrosity.
Nobleman magazine??? What??
This episode has just about convinced me that I’m getting Bravo’d out. I think I began watching Bravo’s HW shows during the second season of OC. It was kind of interesting then, something new. Now I find
I keep skipping the different shows, then tuning in to see if I missed anything, and finding: Nope, nothing happened.
I never watch NJ or Atlanta any more. Vanderpump’s restaurant show is out. Neither the texas or Austrailia ones interested me, and Potomic (sp?) has lost me. OMG, what will I do. Just about can’t stand the Shahs, they are so crude and ugly. None of the men have any sex appeal, and the women are pretty crazy, except Asa who can be. I do still love New York, mainly because of Dorinda and Bethenny, and I love to hate Ramona. Beverly Hills is getting close to extinction and maybe all this dissatisfaction I feel is because I’m beginning to hate Andy. He’s far too smug. Oh well, I do like to read.
Agreed, they’re all becoming too toxic for their own good. I watch every show using the skip ahead button and enjoy the recaps more than the shows. It’s impossible to recreate the early years- now the franchises are hardly recognizable from what they started out to be. Everyone is too hyper aware of the battle for camera time, no natural storylines, no natural friendships, therefore no natural drama and so on. Remember, these shows started out as more “A day in the life of an OC housewife…” THIS. This is just mostly embarrassing and minimally entertaining.
I so agree. I tried to watch Shahs last night, got to the anal bleach scene and gave up. Deleted future episodes from my DVR. I never did watch Potomac or Dallas and am over NJ and ATL. I will give OC a few more episodes, but they may be off my DVR soon as well. I will probably continue to watch BH and NY just for the locations. The shows have gotten too dark and mean spirited. I miss the humor and silliness of the old days.
I’m glad to hear others have a propensity for less exploration of private…now for more “real” dialogue. This blog helps me know when to fast forward. There was an article recently discussing the insertionn of foreign products like the one’s presented on RHOA were causing health problems.
I’m glad Tamara mentioned that she wasn’t interested in blogging about the ladies private parts anymore.
I just re-read my comment and decided I’m being too negative. It’s just that the Bravo’s HW franchise has about run it’s course. It was new and interesting in the beginning, but now ol’ Andy is grasping at straws.
That’s it! It isn’t me, it’s Andy! Pheww, I feel better, now.
Shannon’s kids have to be mortified by her screeching. That would drive anyone nuts.
I’ve been thinking the same thing. She is all around a complete embarrassment, at least they’re rich! And the way she SQUEALS at that dog, more like how NOT to train a dog 101. That kind of ignorance drives me insane.
I am pretty much over the housewives but I enjoy the recaps. I started to watch this but as soon as I saw Shannon and the Feng sui lady, I changed the channel. I will go back to see the birthday party and the new housewife but Shannon is impossible for me to watch . Her brain needs Feng sui. Thanks for the recaps TT. This way I can see whether there is anything interesting going on. More often than not, that’s a no.
How many times is Shannon going to throw the same tantrum?!
No doubt. And what’s up with the Housewives’ favorite tantrum phrase: “I’m DONE!!” (stomps off)
I don’t think I’ve ever used that phrase in my life, nor do I know anyone who does. Yet it seems to be part of the daily Real Housewife vernacular. Not that it matters. I’ve just always found it odd (and, yes, annoying).
Lol about Banjo. I use to threaten taking Dukie Dachshund to the pound for a doggie scared straight experience.
Ah, I have 4 Dachshund rescues, love my babies! Cute comment, Old Jane!
Some women can hang with this soul-sucking franchise, and some women can’t. Shannon has been in that last category since the beginning. One thing this franchise has done for me is make me very appreciative of my simple lifestyle and life choices.
Amen Katherine 2.0
Roof over head, food on the table, bills paid, money in the bank.
All I need.
I know at least seven women who instantly gained 35 pounds when they went on SSRIs. And if it’s the wrong one for your kind of crazy, you get worse. So I am naturally thinking this may be the case with Shannon and/or Vicki. Once they gain that SSRI weight, it’s very hard to lose, I hear.
Shannon just needs to drop the David thing. Obviously he battered her in some way or she lied about it to the cops. Because it’s very uncommon to have to plea to domestic violence if your wife wants it dropped.
Just finished watching and I feel like it is a different show. I don’t know if it’s me checked out, or everything and everyone is different on the show?
I started reading comments from the bottom up. Glad it’s not just me.
I was expecting more discussion on the 100th housewife.
I am not feeling her at all. Perhaps I’ll change my mind later?
in episodes to come it looks like she does piss some of the women off so it could get very interesting..
New housewife was a nothingburger last night.
It’s kinda hard to say “aww” to her illness, “whoa to her wealth”, “aww to her story” “hunh?” to why she’s been here since age one and still cannot speak English fluently. “Hmm” to the flaunting of diamonds socially” then back to “aww” regarding her health.
I may be in the minority but I love Kelly and her messy ways. Also, I really don’t like Meghan. Her first season was her wanting to be a good stepmom to Haley. They don’t follow each other on instagram anymore and she hasn’t mentioned Haley at all last season or this season. So weird. Shannon needs to leave David. That Gollum-esque man is not worth all the bullshit.
I think we are in the minority. I like her too though.
I had taken a break from watching RHHOC when Lydia was last on so I don’t know anything about her, but what I do not buy is that she had no clue Shannon would react that way if told she and tamra “were doing the same thing as Vicki. She was told of the fallout between the 3 ladies, she knew how Shannon felt about Vicki even without having known Shannon prior. these ladies talk. Then she says that and acts all “omg, we can’t be friends if you’re going to yell at me when I say anything”. She didn’t say just “anything”, and Shannon, though erratic and emotive, didn’t “yell” at her at that point. Stop playing stupid like you said something innocuous and she flew off the handle.
I get it, that’s a big insult to her and here comes miss meddler saying she’s acting just like the person she thinks least of in the world.
I don’t dislike Lydia, but I thought that was blatantly stupid.
Or deliberately manipulative, aimed at stimulating a reaction ,since she had an obvious bias.
I so agree with this and your comment below-
Also, I don’t find anything Shannon has done to be in any way similar to Vicki dating some creep who ran a cancer scam, which she participated in, to garner sympathy. I also don’t and haven’t seen Shannon airing Vicki’s dirty laundry of what they confided to each other when they were close friends, only Vicki.
Shannon is many things, emotional, eccentric, etc. but Vicki she is not. That was a dumb point for Lydia to make and even dumber of her to stand back like, “oh wow, I had no idea that’d get you so mad” lol
Well said Shae, I completely agree with both of your posts.
I agree with your post Shae.
When I last watched RHOC it was season 8. I stopped watching consistently because of Vicki and Tamra. I don’t have an opinion of Kelly yet and I’m not impressed with Peggy.
I didn’t like Lydia when she was on the show before because I think she’s very disingenuous
I agree. I thought it was very hypocritical of Lydia, to say to Shannon that I just met you and you’re yelling at me. When, she is the one who brings up Vickie and judges Shannon on that, when she just met her. Who does that? Who brings up old second hand gossip and drama to someone they just met at a party, and proceed to act as though they are an authority on the situation? She wanted to set Shannon off. She was not being a friend whisperer. The mom I think is a nicer person and prettier too, than Lydia. Lydia is way too full of herself.
I really dislike Lydia – this season and the last one she appeared on. Make no mistake, she a wolf dressed in lamb’s clothing. Did you notice how viciously she told Shannon that her mother said she was a lost soul. She completely exaggerated the situation/conversation with Shannon. Yes, Shannon was animated and passionately defending herself after being told she was just like vengeful Vicki – but she wasn’t yelling at poor pitiful victim Lydia. What Lydia inferred was terribly insulting and frankly none of her fucking business. Lydia’s tinkerbell-wanna be mom told Lydia she was the relationship whisperer and stupid Lydia believed her. How arrogant, presumptuous and condescending for Lydia to think she knows best. In reality she’s incredibly judgy, even with her mom, and just needs to take a seat and shut up. She acts like a soft little girl-child and it’s sickening to watch. Don’t be fooled.
Holy Moly Creampuff, LoL, no one could have said it better. You summed up my feelings exactly. Thank you.
I totally agree. There are plenty of housewives who are difficult to like, but I can find something amusing about each of them. Not Lydia. I find nothing entertaining about her because I see glimpses of serious darkness beneath the appearance of love and light.
I have to say I am SHOCKED by the Lydia hate. I wasn’t expecting that.
The pot stirring and outrage over its results is not a good look on her after her last season was all sunshine, rainbows and church. She needs to pick a lane and stay in it. I don’t know if she’s a good little church girl who’s super sweet and mild mannered, a pot stirrer or worst of all someone who willing to do whatever they need to just to be on tv…. Don’t get me wrong, even sweet church girls have days when they’re bitchy but what she did with Shannon was completely out of touch and out of character with how she was on her last season.
I think there are so many other options, I will not like ANY returning housewives. When you leave, be done.
Best scene in the show was”Euuuuuu, I’m going to eat a nacho” I I honestly rewind and watched it three times couldn’t get enough of it was laughing so hard. Shannon is a batpoop crazy mess but God love her she has her comic relief at times
While we are sleeping the kitchen battles over energy flow. The air conditioner food storage unit someone calls a refrigerator is straining the grid.The pressure cooker is fit to burst as the microwave pops off one kernel at a time.
