Molly Shannon says Shannon is her favorite housewife. When Andy asks what it is about Shannon that she likes so much about her she goes into a whole litany of fabulous things about Shannon. She’s elegant. She’s a good mother. She’s nice. I do not think she actually watches the show.
Shannon is a whole different person now. She has a new face entirely, and she’s lost weight and is wearing black to look even slimmer. Even her teeth look different. Andy shows Shannon’s struggles with weight on the show. Andy says Shannon is beautiful at any weight. I suppose it is the Jeff Lewis connection that keeps Andy from degrading Shannon the way he does other housewives on WWHL. That, and I believe Shannon meets the financial threshold to be treated humanely. Shannon says she has lost 15 pounds and is down to 29% body fat. Shannon defends her trainer saying that he is a supporter and it didn’t even phase her when he spoke to her like that. She says she doesn’t blame Vicki for her weight gain, but then goes on to say that the five months in between when the episode was filmed about David’s domestic violence plea until the show aired, she was a mess and ate and drank a lot. She has cut alcohol out of her diet almost entirely now.
Shannon says she is not proud of her behavior at The Quiet Woman and that she over-reacted. She and Tamra had dinner there the night the show aired. 88% of those polled are on Shannon’s side. Even with Molly Shannon’s bizarre adoration of Shannon, I still think production had to blow those numbers up. I am also realizing I don’t like Molly Shannon.
Shannon says she hasn’t spoken to David’s mom at all. I can’t blame her there. If my mother in law had my husband and his mistress over to her house for dinner, I’d never speak to her again either.
Every single episode of this ratchet show lately, a caller just so happens to call in and ask questions like “What do you think of Countess Luann and her crumbling marriage?” The question was for Molly Shannon and she’s clearly confused about why she is being asked to discuss someone’s marriage on the show. So Andy goes through the whole list of nasty things people say with the intent of making her say something negative. Molly basically says that Luann is a grown woman who knows what she is doing and who she is marrying and that Luann has always been wild and enjoys having fun, and is happy in her marriage.
Then Andy out of nowhere asks her if Ramona has gone to far this season. This is important because it’s approaching pick up letter time for NYC. This sounds to me like Andy is asking if Ramona should come back. If I were Ramona, I’d be very nervous. Especially since Bethenny is being nicer to Sonja this season and telling her things like she is trying to protect her. I take that behavior to mean Bethenny knows both Ramona and Sonja are on the bubble for next season and Bethenny is trying to tell Sonja to distance herself from Ramona in order to save her contract. Molly says that she has gone too far. She doesn’t take responsibility for the things that she does. Shannon chimes in to agree. I am going to predict that Ramona is out for next season. Although, isn’t that season ten? They tend to keep everyone around for season ten. On the other hand they did axe Phaedra out of it.
A caller says. “Shannon, I know you are delusional, but don’t you think it is coincidental that you’ve had an issue with every single housewife?” Now you know that question was changed by the caller. They would never let a mean question for Shannon through. Shannon says she hasn’t had an issue with every single housewife, but she does react so she is probably a good person to go after when you start the show. Andy asks her if she has an issue with NEW housewives. She says no. She went to meet Lydia and she wouldn’t stop repeating the word, “Vicki” after Tamra kept asking her not to do it. Really? Are we not going to discuss how one housewife mentioning another housewife repeatedly triggered Shannon to scream like a hyena, rip off her mike and scream that she is DONE! She says she and Meghan are great friends right now, so she is not delusional and gets along great with most of the housewives.
The scene where Peggy literally holds Meghan’s lips together is bizarre. It’s clear this season we needed people to be on Vicki’s side and Peggy and Lydia were hired to be ride or die Vicki all season.
Shannon says her relationship with David is good. She says last season ended with the vow renewal and they were at the highest of the highs. She says you can’t stay there all the time, but they are good. I give them six months after the reunion airs.
Shannon says if she regrets saying people in Michigan eat potatoes at every meal. She says she does but she is from Michigan too and ate the potatoes.
When Isaac Mizrahi was on with Kelly, he said Shannon was the best dressed housewife. Who other than herself does Shannon think is the best dressed? She goes with Sonja Morgan.
Unlike the miserable show with Reza and Shervin, this show was very enlightening.
I think the sun has set on Ramona and Sonja.
Shannon looked amazing.
Shannon looked wonderful, clearly has dedicated herself to getting her health together. I am not surprised that iaasic likes Shannon’s style. All American country club is his target customer. The scene this week between Peggy and Vicki was hysterical, it really is a stretch to believe anything is genuine, or even understood between those two. As much as I would hate to see Sonja and Ramona be split up, I am fairly convinced that Ramona has a tinge of a behavior disorder. She can scream her fool mouth off, but when others argue, she claps her hands over her ears. Or, she goes off by herself to a private emotional space, as Sonja pointed out. The divorce must have been beyond horrible for her. I love the NY crew as is, that group is tough to Crack. OC does not seem to be working for me once again, as Bible thumping is just not my thing. Same went for Phaedra’s religious antics on ALT. Thanks for your recaps, TT, I look for them to enjoy with my morning tea.
She’s only lost 15 pounds and her face looks like that again? 15 pounds is good but I think she’s had some surgery.
She had injections last week – she posted photos of the procedure on her social media.
I wanted to post that photo but decide Shannon had been through enough this week. As I mentioned, MsPriscilla does WONDERS with her makeup applications. When I win the lottery, MsPriscilla will live in the house next door and come over and put a face on me every day.
You can only take sew much Ramona Singer. Her future dangles on a thread. I’m in stiches.
I would rather remove my eyes out with red hot pokers than watch these two people… :delete:
Shannon looked good but was overly spray-tanned. I find I can only watch this show for about 10 minutes , if I watch anymore at all. The stupid games, Andy himself, no bueno.
I am with 10 min and I am done.
Thanks for watching this. I can never bring myself to watch WWHL, it just seems so juvenile, but then I’m always afraid I’ve missed something. I think Shannon looks great.
I did not care for Molly Shannon at all! Can’t put my finger on it but something about her is unlikable. If I remember correctly the last time she was on she tried to hog the show.
Shannon looked refreshed on WWHL and waaaay more lucid than usual.
On the aftershow she said Heather unfollowed her, Tamra, and Meghan on all social media and they no longer speak!
And Andy’s face was hilarious when Molly asked why Heather left the show. He was pissed!
I guess I’m in the minority but I like Shannon and her neurotic behavior. It’s refreshing that she’s not calculating — she just sort of reacts. She’s been open to a fault on this show. Vicki used to have that quality until Girth Brooks corrupted her. Shannon was really trying to be her friend when Vicki flipped the script; I can’t blame her for being done with her forever.
The past few wwhl episodes with just one housewife have been bizarre because the other guest ass kisses the housewife. I like Molly Shannon in character but not kissing Shannon Beadors ass. Maybe Molly did that because she was afraid to set Shannon off.
Why is Andy so obsessed with Luanns marriage “crumbling”? Were he and Tom lovers once? Is Andy part of the Sonja Morgan bitter bitches club?
I died laughing with that one caller…I know you’re delusional lol. And Shannon saying she’s good right now with Megan, so does that change according to Shannon’s moods?
I thought Shannon looked amazing. Why do you think Heather doesn’t speak to them? My guess is she thinks she,’s too good for them. Her husband is ugly and a sissy of a man IMO. I read somewhere that Kelly wasn’t coming back till she found out Heather wasn’t, LoL. I guess Heather was too much for her trashy mean self.
I like Shannon. She’s rich , she’s kooky , and she’s actually a housewife! a lot of women can relate to her being cheated on and her feelings of inadequacies, and all of the hormonal changes she’s going through.
I also wonder what happened to Heather. She was a Dr.’said wife, certainly affluent, not afraid to express herself. Sure she was fancy pants, but I loved that about her. I miss her, actually. Then again, her husband always liked the spotlight more than she did.
There were a lot of things that happened with Heather. And all of them had to do with the van ride from hell where Heather was REALLY drunk on TV for the first time in my memory. Her true colors came out and she behaved like a shrew and embarrassed herself. After that show aired she stayed off social media for quite awhile.
The rumor is that Kelly mentioned the OC rumor that Terry cheated on Heather. That is what caused Heather to go batshit. I can see that happening. Another rumor is that Heather and Terry took legal action to keep that situation off the air. The only other time that happened was with Adrienne and the surrogacy situation. Bravo fires people for that.
So it is highly likely that Heather got fired. And Heather unfollowed ALL of them on social media as far as I know. Meghan probably just listed the ones she knew about.
I guess I’m in the minority too. I really like Shannon- she is REAL, she is easily irritated and annoyed but for some reason seems the most real to me. As for Ramona plz dear God let that woman go- she obviously is super jealous of bettheney and is either drinking wayyy too much or going thru menopause and needs a therapist or hormone replacement. I’m 46 and have three grown children and am starting to take a bit of estrogen to regulate my periods. Sorry for the men that read this. Tmi!! Thanks for the tea Tamara!!!
I didn’t get a chance to watch this yet, but I’m relieved Shannon is making progress with her health. I feel for anyone who literally loathes the body they’re in and feels stuck in it. I’m glad she’s motivated herself and appears happier.
Ramona is beyond past her expiration date, but I doubt they’ll let her go. She definitely does go too far but I just feel like I’m not lucky enough to be spared Ramona Singer lol
Shannon looks great now and I’m watching OC after taking a break from this show since season 8 so I don’t know what she was like her 1st season on this show but I appreciate her authenticity which is rare on these types of shows.
As for Ramona, I agree with Tamara that she and Sonja are on the bubble. Andy LOVED Phaedra so if she can get axed from the 10th season of RHOA then Ramona can definitely be axed from RHONY. If Sonja’s back it’ll probably be as a friend which I think is a better role for her.
I find Shannon to be excitable and irritating. She hears words but does not listen. Lydia did not say Shannon was just like Vickie and Vicki did not say that David beats the shit out of Shannon. David pled guilty of something that had to do with abuse of some kind I believe. My meds are kicking in so I can’t be more specific. This makes Shannon a lying liar face.
Tamra needs help with her remarks and actions. I am not perfect but shooting birds and repeatingly making comments about sweaty man parts is not taught in Sunday school or in any sermons that I have ever heard. It is vulgar,and classless.
Thank you for the recaps, you also perk up my day !
She looks thin after “only” 15 pounds, because she doesnt have alcohol bloat anymore. Look at her eyes. Clear and lucid. I get a fat face and stomach on vodka when I drink it more than 3 days running. I can spot a gal that should not drink vodka a mile away. Yeah, make up and fillers, but I’m telling you, it’s the vodka bloat she got rid of first. Sucks rocks.
