Sorry for tonight’s delay. It’s been a long emotionally draining day with Irma visiting Atlanta today and I opted to watch the finale of Bachelor in Paradise first tonight. If I had any real expectation of this show being even marginally interesting I would have recapped it first. Let’s see what I missed.
We start with Briana explaining to Vicki that hosting her own birthday party is a bad enough idea without having it be a Vicki Gunvalson roast. Clearly Vicki didn’t really understand what a roast would be. I am all in my feels today and seeing Vicki in that immaculate kitchen with nothing better to do than arrange flowers made me extremely envious. Part of me thought that if a tree did fall on my house today, that I could finally clean this hell hole up and renovate my kitchen. And by renovate I mean have functioning electrical outlets and appliances that are not literally rusted through. It’s just to overwhelming to contemplate the logistics of all of that.
Peggy seems hell bent on getting the store that one of her daughters works at on the show. She must know the owners and the girl likely doesn’t even work there. I’ve never seen someone so excited about a job in retail. Although, working at Macy*s in the men’s tie department was one of my favorite jobs ever. When Kelly meets Peggy there and tells her she can’t try on clothes because she just had her vagina tightened, Peggy replied, “Oh, was it loose?” And for the first time all season, Peggy landed one of her stupid “I’ve lived her 50 years and don’t speak the language” type deadpan jokes.
When Lydia is not doing a magazine advertisement with her husband, she is a welcome addition to this show. I love how she has no problem telling Meghan that she crossed the line with Kelly first by texting her asking if she was cheating on her husband. Don’t poke the bull Meghan if you don’t want Kelly to responded about the constant rumors of Jim and his wandering penis. It is exactly the same thing. It also makes no sense because Kelly and Meghan were friends last season. Why on earth is Meghan suddenly her arch enemy? When Lydia points this all out to Meghan she fake cries with no tears and says she is not going to stand here and have this discussion while her baby is at home getting a bottle because she came on this walk instead of breast feeding her. Lydia says,” Well, let’s just go back then.” It’s not Lydia’s fault you are not breastfeeding your baby, Meghan. Meghan says she is not mean and she is not trying to stir shit up. Meghan, you stir shit up like it’s your job. Because it is.
Why do we keep getting recaps of scenes that sucked donkey balls the first time we endured them?
Vicki calls Tamra ask if she wants to meet up for coffee. I think both people are expecting an apology. That never works well.
It is Shannon’s birthday again. Last year on her birthday was their vow renewal. This year they are still talking about Vicki. David points out that what Vicki said didn’t bother him, and he knew it bothered her and he could not convince her to to let it go, so he just pulled away a bit. Shannon says, “When then I guess it’s all my fault.” Of course it is all your fault you fat bitch! You are going through menopause, it is a fucking life changing event of epic proportions that no one understands until it happens to them. You get fat. You get cranky. You get hot. You get annoyed. It’s all about you and if you have the luxury of someone being around during that time they tip toe around you and go play golf a lot, or take up Sparta marathons waiting on it to pass. All of what you are going through is not anyone’s fault it is biology. But emasculating your husband on national television, first about the affair and not constantly sending into the universe that he was physically abusive to you is your fault. How you handle menopause, is totally your choice. And your stupid decisions and cause a lot relationships to fall by the wayside as you try to keep the boat floating. You are drilling holes in the boat. STOP DOING THAT and go get some therapy.
Shannon says when you say I didn’t let it go you make it sound like I am obsessed. Perhaps that is because you have been repeating the negative accusations about your husband across two seasons and two continents. David says she can keep talking about it if she wants to. Clearly, he doesn’t give a shit anymore. David holds her hand and she says that it the first time he has held her hand in six months. Oh, please Shannon. This is not they way to fix your marriage. If you want to go on dates and get texts, how about you stop being such a bitch? She is tortured trying to figure out what happened. You happened. Menopause happened. Try to be nice to your husband and happy you have one. Especially if your daddy bought him for you.
It’s time for Vicki’s birthday and her family has come to help celebrate. So I assume not the Tamra and Vicki détente will be last. Ryan took vacation time to be on camera come to Vicki’s party. He and Briana gave Vicki a gun. Actually Briana got one too. Vicki is shocked to find out that the man she is dating has a gun on him at all times? Really? But her bigger concern is that no one is coming to her party.
For reasons that are unclear to me, the anti Vicki people are doing an in scene add for some weird nitrogen restaurant. Apparently, Vicki and Shannon have the same birthday? Is that why Vicki is so worried not one it coming? Sorry, I am running out of steam. It’s been a very long day. This may be for Eddie’s birthday. It’s everyone’s birthday! This restaurant is way to gimmicky to be good.
Has Andy Cohen had a penis enlargement in an attempt to lure the twinks on the Circuit? (blind item reveal). Because lately he has been doing his WWHL promos with such a wide stance I feel like it has to be either a sexually transmitted disease or some sort of surgery. Am I the only one to notice he stands up for the promos now in some way to suggest he actually has something going on down there?
Vicki’s house is gorgeous. Jeana is there for Vicki’s birthday party. That’s sweet. Jeana is the original housewife. Vicki asks Kelly if she is sure she wants a breast reduction. I am sure for Kelly. If I was not terrified of surgery and rich, I’d have a breast reduction and and a tummy tuck all at once. Big boobs suck. Later Jeana tells a funny story about Kelly Dodd. She says she walked up to her boyfriend and pointed to her boobs and said, “I want to take the 600s down to 400s.” Jeana says Kelly didn’t realize she is not dating a plastic surgeon anymore, she’s dating a realtor. Funny. But Kelly, I know you read here, 400 is still way to much and in a few years you will want to go down more. Trust and believe.
Lydia was apparently invited to the counter party for Eddie, but he kid had a birthday at the same time or something? I’m lost.
Gretchen Rossi arrives. Vicki and Gretchen and Kelly have been close lately. Vicki is getting wasted. Lizzie is there and I barely recognize her. Slade is there. This is a BIG deal of a party there is a full on sit down dinner in Vicki’s backyard. It has a pool and a grotto and it is allegedly why Kelly is selling her Malibu house because her kid likes Vicki’s house better and wants a pool. This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. Kelly’s kid has PACIFIC OCEAN outside her house.
Vicki tells Lydia that she called Tamra to have a conversation. Lydia is happy.
Vicki’s party went off without a hitch, or a fight And she professed her undying love for Steve. But there are four minutes left. Will it be the rumored proposal? Or just another catfight?
WAIT. I CAN. NOT. BELIEVE. LIZZIE. IS. A. PART. OF. THIS. CONVERSATION. We are back to the Eddie is gay rumor. It’s been a rumor since Eddie first appeared on the show. It’s the reason Tamra is pissed at Vicki. This is so beneath Lizzie. I am beyond disappointed in Lizzie. Gretchen? Sure. But Lizzie did this for five minutes of camera time? So the guy at the table with Vickie, Gretchen, Lizzie and Kelly is the best man at Tamra’s wedding. And he says he personally saw Eddie making out with a man. This is 50 shades of wrong from EVERYONE at this table. When he was asked why he didn’t tell Tamra he says it was because she thought she knew and was fine with it. Lizzie does pipe up with you were Tamra’s best friend, why tell us now, and he says because it is the truth. Le sigh. We have seen signs this season of Tamra saying that her kid hates her because she married Eddie. Is another divorce on the Whorizon?
Production knows full wlle the first half of the season sucks so they bombard us with tantalizing episodes to come. None of which will probably be next season.
Wow! What happened to Tamara’s best friend? He’s now team Vickie. Pretty disgusting saying this on camera . Seeing Gretchen and Slade get so dressed up just so Gretchen could throw shade at Tamara’s marriage is pretty low. It probably had the exact opposite effect for what they were trying to do because Andys response on wwhl was that he just threw up in his mouth. He is tired of housewives accusing husbands of being gay .
So NO ONE noticed the shady tactics of production highlighting Eddie giving a fake blow and go to the long lollipop, and then stating that he wants to go sword fighting with the guys. And that no girls were allowed? Hello people?!
Andy shouldn’t be throwing up in his mouth about what the other ladies are saying if his production crew is insinuating Eddie is gay.
I noticed! Couldn’t decide if Eddie always made innuendos or if I just noticed it more this episode!
Tamra tries to blame her daughter’s estrangement on her ex & then her marrying Eddie. However, all BS. Sidney has been quite vocal about her reasons for cutting Tamra out of her life & it’s because she’s asked her repeatedly for years to STOP TALKING ABOUT HER ON THE SHOW. She hates it & told Tamra point blank, their relationship will never improve as long as she chooses to talk about her relationship on tv, the whole situation embarrasses her. Sidney has now said because Tamra is using her daughter as a storyline, she wants to serve her mother with a cease & desist. Tamra continues choosing to do it.
“…Tamra’s daughter wants to serve her mother with a cyst and decease.”
Fixed that for ya
Saluting you and Atlanta for having weathered Irma. Remarkable work ethic and elan, TT,able to recap Orange County , BIP, nonetheless.
Life is why we need the distraction of reality t.v., factions and burbling idiocies relax and engage the mind at a counterirritant level. Andy may not ever be ranked with Freud, Jung, and other great doctors of the psyche, but Reality helium gas is right up there with mood-altering chemicals (said in a chipmonk voice). And, Vickie, oh to be just arranging flowers sometime!
So glad you made it through Irma ok. Stay safe.
Jeana has definitely had alot of face work done. I hardly recognized her if she hadn’t had her same hairdo she’s always had. Always good to have her on the show.
OMG, I said the same thing. My brother used to work with her back during season one, and I texted him after the show that Jeanne should know better than to get a face lift with a damn groupon.
I barely recognised her either. It’s a shame because she’s ruined her face, she was prettier before.
Hoping the box wine helped with irma, TT.
Thanks for the recap. These people make less sense than ever.
My conspiracy theory is: Amdy and friends get high and throw around show ideas. Some of these reality show plot lines are beyond dumb.
Meghan’s husband, Jim, is a world class sports broadcaster. He calls baseball games just like the old-timers, with class and intelligence. Most times, his daughter is in the booth with him. If you like baseball, find a youtube of him. Or look for him on midwest sports channel, calling Cardinal games.
Hoping some of Irma gets here. We are in drought.
Big boobs do suck! 100%. Something smaller girls will never understand. I really couldn’t hate a body part more.
That was so low and disgusting for the unsubstantiated rumor of sexual preference to be discussed in a way to shame someone or because you want to hurt them… I hate this show. I’ve not watched since episode one then tonight, Kelly and Lizzie, nice plan that I hope blows up in your face. Gretchen and Vicki alliance? Here’s hoping production whispers this back to the Judges before next episode, disgusting. Shannon, ugh. This entire season needs to retire early.
When it comes to Tamra vs Vicki, both of them are conniving and sneaky. That’s why they’re on the show!
Andy knows they will do and say things that anyone with a moral compass wouldn’t.
And both will start babbling about Jesus and their ‘Christian beliefs’ when it suits them.
I don’t really think anything of the Vicki/Gretchen alliance. It’s a tactic she learned from Tamra. Tamra is just better at manipulation that Vicki is. Actually, anytime Vicki has tried to get away with something that Tamra got away with, she has been called on it, so she really should either get as good at manipulation as Tamra, or stop trying to manipulate and just be her delusional self who is entertaining at her own expense.
I think Gretchen is all in her feelings because of all the times Tamra used her and then turned the rest of the cast against her. It’s gross that Gretchen went about it this way, but this is also the woman let Tamra manipulate her over and over again, to the point of defending her, only to be thrown away at reunion time. In other words, Gretchen is NOT smart.
I am disappointed in Lizzie though. I get that she would have some residual anger towards Tamra (Having your personal phone number posted on Facebook will do that to a person), but I was hopeful that she would avoid going the Tamra route of getting even.
The only person who has been successful in using Tamra’s tactics against Tamra has been Heather. Heather heard Tamra talking shit about her to Shannon and got even by telling Eddie what Tamra said about wanting to have more kids. Eddie was angry at Tamra (as he should have been) for oversharing with a castmate, and Tamra tried (and failed) to take Heather down. By the end, they were in cahoots against Shannon.
It was beyond ridiculous when Peggy claimed to have never heard the saying does a bear sh$t in the woods yet know that she’s the neck and the neck makes the head turn. I call BS.
Absolutely 100 % Bullshit. I think she thinks it makes her sound cute –not knowing and questioning the sayings. She sounds like an idiot to me. I would bet her husband has asked her about where the bear shits before and she has laughed with him until now and she she suddenly doesn’t know anything about it. I mean, who knows–I don’t know the woman but like you Belle, I think it’s fake.
How does Peggy have an English degree from UCLA and not know the implied meanings of the English language? Even in English 1A in college we learned about and had to write with simile and metaphor. Why do women feel so pressured to dumb themselves down??
I have a theory that Peggy does this to make her husband crazy. Like Chinese water torture. Drip drip drip. I can tell they have been married for along time.
This BS act is all Peggy could come up with for her storyline.
I can’t stand Peggy! Don’t think she fits in at all. Get her off!!
I see Lydia’s point that it’s the “same” for Megan to imply infidelity in Kelly’s marriage as it is for Kelly to imply it in Meghan’s, however, it would be a lot more upsetting to me to have someone tell me they believe my spouse to be cheating on me than for them to tell me they’ve heard I am cheating myself. I would be upset and resent the comment, but I would know the truth about myself at least. When somebody accuses your partner of it, you don’t have that same certainty. So I also see why Meghan felt it wasn’t exactly the same for her to say,”hey kelly, I heard you have a bf” as it was for kelly to say, “well I heard jim’s been screwing around on you for ten years”. Both were wrong, though, no question about that, and Meghan 100% knows Kelly turns into a raging wildebeast at the slightest insult, so that was stupid of her to provoke.
I also don’t understand how Kelly can insult Meghan’s parenting, then in the next breath, say she did not do that. It literally just came out of your mouth .02 seconds ago. I think this woman truly blacks out whenever she’s mad and has no recollection or notion of the shit she says.
I didn’t find that red dress to be flattering on Vicki at all, trying way too hard to be young. I literally cannot stand the woman, but she looks better when she’s more covered up.
The Peggy act is beyond old now, the whole bear shitting in the woods conversation. Everything with this woman is her misunderstanding of the language she’s apparently been speaking for most of her life lol
Yes, and has a college degree in English from UCLA. Even hubby knows and English is his second language.
Totally.
Diko was saying, “does THE bear shit in the woods”, I found that charming lol
One thing I noticed is that Peggy said she “went to UCLA” and she “has a degree in English”. I wonder if her degree is actually from UCLA?
I went to UCLA too – I took an extension class in Accounting at night off-campus.
Ooh, that’s a great point!
The fact that Meghan brought up the text message about Jim cheating was malicious. It happened months before and her and Kelly had made up so the only reason to bring that up was to get the other girls worked up so they could come to her defense and attack Kelly.
The conversation between Lydia and Meghan was one of the most ridiculous I’ve heard in a long time. Meghan confronted Kelly about a hurtful rumor first, what did she expect? Especially from Kelly! I loved that Lydia didn’t take any of her crap; Meghan was trying to manipulate the shit out of her, “I”m not a bad person!” (had nothing to do with anything) “I left my baby!” Oh, Boo-Hoo.
I also get bored when Lydia is promoting the magazine with the stupid name but I admire that she sticks to what she believes in and doesn’t waiver (so far!).
I don’t understand the Meghan hate I read online. She’s obviously very isolated and lonely. She had a conception alone and a pregnancy alone and now a baby almost alone. I’m glad she was able to get a cousin to stay with her or I would be worried about her getting depressed. She’s a side character and doesn’t ever get the resolution she’s looking for. Fights, arguments and accusations are what she gets when she does try to reach out hoping for a true friend who is on her side. I hope she drops out. She doesn’t have the temperament for reality television and that is a compliment to her.
Even if the Eddie gay rumours were substantiated, it’s Tamra and Eddie’s marriage…let them deal with any fall out. Vicki and company need to find another pastime !
I agree. Of course Andy would love it if it were true. He is such an embarrassment to his sexual choice FLAMING!!!!!!! If I were Eddie I’d divorce Tamra if she makes up with Vicki.
Peggy is just a pretty face with no story line at all. Jeana has had bad plastic surgery. Shannon still cannot let go of David’s affair and they should just divorce and move on. It is inevitable that they will one day.
Vicki looked horrible as usual…..fat coming out of every cut off in that dress. She needs a stylist and to dress her age. I like Gretchen unlike everyone else but cannot tolerate Slade.
Feel horrible for Meghan….her husband is having an affair, she knows it and that is the cause of her falling apart.
The Real Housewives franchise does not leave marriages alone for the parties to deal with rumors on their own terms. Look at what they did to Luanne for two seasons, they dragged people onto the show to say they saw Tom kissing other women. They did the same with Theresa in New Jersey. This is really no different than how they have treated other marriages.
Oh yes. Terry Dubrow got the ‘bad edit’ a few seasons ago, Mauricio was considered fair game with cheating rumours on RHOBH, David Beador has had his affair and domestic violence allegations broadcast to all and sundry, never mind the husbands on RHOA. The list goes on……
If you want to repeatedly appear on the show rather than stay in the background AND you get to promote your business AND your wife gets a fat Bravo check I don’t think you can complain.
Isn’t this Ricky the same dude who told Tamara that Gretchen had an affair when she was engaged to the older man who passed? Now Gretchen believes this story.
Because Gretchen knows that she DID have an affair on that old man. She knows what he is saying is true. Still, the whole gay expose is kind of lame. It’s clear as day when you see Eddie in action what he is about but Tamra’s best bet was to find a man that would deal with her antics and still love her. I don’t think a regular guy like Simon would do that. Now a guy that full on lived with an adult man would be more compassionate and open to accepting nonconventional ways
“It’s clear as day when you see Eddie in action what he is about” What the hell does that even mean? What particular action are you referring to? The biking, working out, opening a gym?
Then, “a guy that full on lived with an adult man would be more compassionate and open to accepting nonconventional ways” Wtf? What planet are you from? Jesus.
The needle on my gaydar doesn’t move at all when pointed at Eddie. There were some awkward moments when he first appeared in the show (bubble bath). But he doesn’t appear to be closeted to me.
Apparently he had a very rough upbringing (abandonment by mother, foster care, etc) and I wouldn’t be surprised if he had been a “gay” hustler during a desperate period in his life to keep himself fed and sheltered. And that would be a shameful secret that most anyone would want to hide from the public.
Meghan is 5 years old. Well, maybe 3. That scene with Lydia was cringeworthy. Vicki desperately needs a stylist and a psychiatrist. Tamra is simply trailor trash. Shannon is so steeped in her passive/aggressive castrating that she may never come up for air and Kelly? Loose cannon all the way. Scary actually. I find these women repulsive as they all seem to not give one iota about their husbands and use this forum to bash them every opportunity they get. And Vicki’s so-called boyfriend? RUN FOR THE HILLS IMMEDIATELY. This Show, along with the rest of the Housewive’s franchises, brings nothing of value to the table. These empty-headed harridans are simply that, empty-headed. But BRAVO must be raking in the dough as I counted 12 commercials at one time in between scenes. 12 – so let’s say that each of those spots cost $100,000 (just guestimating) – not a bad little bundle to be raking in. And that was just ONE commercial break. Imagine! I can’t imagine what family and friends and co-workers must think of these women’s husbands now that they are so painfully exposed through this mess of a program. Is it really worth all this humiliation?
The entire show was one cringe worthy scene after another. The only entertaining moments were producer- created , laughing at the women, especially Vicki. That grand reveal entrance, as she arrives late to the party expecting a big welcome, and has to start singing to herself to get their attention, was both pitiful and laughable. From Vicki’s face to her dress, to Gretchen’s get up, to Jeena’s very sad-looking face from plastic surgery, to Lizzie, all the ex’s have had so much work done that most were unrecognizable , and they each are very sad , pushing image above all and failing. The entire show was reflected in those images, all overdressed, over acting, self-indulgent and ignorant. If we start to count how many of the storylines are overdone and should be put to bed, it would include
1)Shannon and David- marriage disappears as she beats it to death as well as both of them.
2) Kelly- boobs redo , vagina rejuv,, lost and needs therapy
3) Eddie/Tamra-marriage covers gay life, problem with kids, she can’t cook, Vicki and she have completely destroyed any loveliness their friendship ever enjoyed
4)Meghan-darling baby but his old affair stories old, her shit stirrer role being questioned/matched
5)Vicki- where do I stop? Lousy relationships with family, friends, life. Lonely, lost, self- aggrandizing and insecure soul desperate for attention, throws her own parties and demands their attention.
6)Peggy- just the worst. Must go NOW.
Reruns of early episodes would be far more enjoyable, real, and honest. This is garbage mouth from desperate climbers
Vicki always has bad luck with entrances and clumsiness. Don used to mention it.
Anyone remember an early season when Vicki was receiving an award and when she walked forward she tripped and fell. I know it’s mean spirited but she’s so full of herself, I thought it was hysterical and I re-played it a few times.
You are so true. Vicki looks terrible.
The only thing I like about Vicki is her home. As usual, she acted like a fool last night. Steve has said before he carries a gun. He must have deficiencies in other areas in order to have to feel macho in the Wild West of Orange County.
He is a cop, all the cops I know Carry even when not on duty.
True comment regarding cops carrying guns all the time. My late husband was a cop and always carried. Why? Because it is not the type of job that you get to leave at quitting time. It follows you around. Case in point: We are sitting at a restaurant on night and someone approaches our table and starts going off on my husband over a citation issued to them over 6 months ago. Blamed my husband for their stupid law breaking. Threatened his life while we sat there. The restaurant owner made this person leave but we still felt he may be waiting outside because he was so upset. Hence the gun. This happens all the time to law enforcement officers who are off duty.
He’s retired or early retired due to prior issues in the police force.
Well, I just have to ask, Spunky 2015. What did Steve do to cause his early retirement? If you can’t say, then you are just casting aspersions toward him. Perhaps y’all have discussed this before and I missed it.
Police officers are all that stand between us and chaos. For example, take Hurricane Irma. Some stayed behind on the coast. I-75 was a parking lot filled with angry drivers and scared people. Law enforcement worked without days off and at great risk to themselves. Where would any of us be without their willingness to stand between us and the lawless?
Google is your friend. There are bad apples in every police department.
This!
What does Steve do for a living? I only ask because I have 3 family members who are in different branches of law enforcement, one federal, one state and one prison guard who are armed at all times and are required to carry at all times due to their jobs. Steve may carry because he has to versus wants to. Also have friend who cattle ranch out west who must carry constantly when they are working or on their ranch due to predators. I don’t see Steve carrying as a big deal.
He is a cop
I thought he was retired. I also thought he was running for some sort of political office when he
first met Vikie.
that’s right, he’s a retired detective, former military as well. From what I can find online he’s currently working as a consultant in a public affairs firm and he ran for an Anaheim city council seat in 2012.
Also think VIcki mentioned something about the fact that he still carried a gun. Oh well, selective memory or just for the show! How shocking!
Yeah, he may, I’m not up on california’s gun laws, but I’m relatively confident former cop/military, etc. could have a carry permit.
Many retired law enforcement officers get concealed carry permits after they retire.
Fantastic recap! TT, you said so many of the things I was yelling at the tv last night!
Meghan is milking this motherhood as an excuse to do and say whatever she wants without repercussion is worn out. (and I say this as someone who nursed 4 kids) I was laughing my ass off when she started crying when Lydia pointed out that she started the whole thing with Kelly. Then blaming the need to nurse her baby. She left her baby to develop what she thought would be an advantageous relationship with Lydia. smdh
Every show needs a villain, I guess. But Vicki and Tamra have taken this show to such a low place that everybody else seems to think if they don’t join them, they’ll be gone. Say what you want about Gretchen, when she first arrived on the show she was anything but bitter and vindictive. A few seasons of Vicki and Tamra trying their best to destroy her has not made her better. Kelly is an animal, and it’s not a social butterfly. There is no way these women are so dumb they don’t know what offensive comments are, but even the doe-eyed, virginal Lydia has turned into an a** of the first order. When I first glimpsed Jeanna Keough I wanted to jump into the screen and beg her to come back. She was always the most reasonable and interesting to me.
Lizzie was so pretty… what happened! Seems she went to the darkside.
I’m so glad you and Mr. Banjo are okay. Those storms are exhausting whether or not one has any damage!
Shannon obsessed…ya think? She wore me out and I don’t watch the show. I do still read the recaps though.
“Especially if your daddy bought him for you.”
Tamara, I’m gonna need you to elaborate on this. I’m very intrigued.
And moving from oceanfront, beach city living, to suburban boredom, with a pool, to please her kid is the dumbest yet.
Tamara, you work well under stress because this is an excellent recap.
Saw the episode but can’t remember it chronologically so here’s about last night’s people…
Peggy’s lame jokes are getting old and unfunny fast. She has no connection whatsoever to any other cast member. She and Diko look and act like fish out of water.
Lydia is sane and she’s trying to play peacemaker–an infuriating role for anyone on any housewives franchise. She will not succeed at that but she does seem, so far, to be succeeding in keeping herself clean among all the shit being flung all around her. Duck and run, Lydia. Duck and run.
I had an open mind at first with Kelly but now I think she’s nasty, unhappy, and vindictive. Now, I’m not sure if she’s unhappy because she’s nasty and vindictive or if she’s nasty and vindictive because she’s unhappy but the latter is likely the case. She has nothing nice to say about her husband so that’s another sad example of a marriage that should never be (Shannon’s and Meghan’s are the others here). As others here have said, Kelly is very immature and I’m at the point where I tune out whenever she’s on screen.
I cannot help myself but I dislike Meghan. Immensely. And her conceited, hollow, moron of a husband. Nothing she continues to say will make me believe he’s really a sweetie when he’s not being an ass since I have yet to view him not being an ass. They are a gross couple with a precious, beautiful baby. Unfortunately the things Meghan has said to and about that baby girl make my skin crawl even though the baby will never know. For example, when she told, joked?, that baby Aspen needed to be squeezed into a cute outfit and shoes she didn’t need for a visit to the doctor because “beauty is pain” was not funny to me. Then, during a confessional, Meghan made another failed attempt at humor by gritting her teeth and mocking how great it was to be a mother. She’s insufferable. In terms of maturity, Kelly and she should get along just fine. Barf.
Shannon has shown her true colors time and time again. She’s just not a nice person. Tamara hit it perfectly that Shannon is in the throes of menopause; her symptoms are glaringly obvious. David has been over her for a very long time–way before Shannon got on the show. And she is truly a miserable bitch. She is unforgiving and manipulative, using her grudges to provoke ill will against Vicki, Kelly, and anyone else she feels wronged by. I think Shannon is the most malicious woman on this franchise, even outdoing Tamra.
Tamra is an opportunist. She goes where she feels she can stir up the most screen time. Her friendship with Vicki was fun to watch and I hope they reunite for optimal mischief-making!
Love Vicki’s new beau Steve, but I hope she doesn’t get bored with the stability he seems to offer. Son Michael is a glom, IMO; just a blob of plain yogurt. Or maybe he just hates cameras. Daughter Briana is an opinionated snot who eloped with an equally opinionated snot resulting in the production of two boisterous little boys. I want to see Vicki and Tamra together but that will depend on whether or not this gay Eddie rumor takes hold. If Eddie laughs it off, then Tamra will be free to do the same. If it were me, I’d insist that makes him more exciting in the sack. Especially since this rumor has been circulating for quite awhile. But if Tamra wants to try to blame Vicki for starting or perpetuating it, then those two will never be able to mend fences.
That’s all folks. Guess I had less to do today than I thought.
I noticed that too about Meghan! She has made several negative remarks about her experience so far as a new mother but in a way I doubt she realizes. In her confessional she referred to the emotional “burden” of having a baby. I get what she meant but not sure I would have worded it that way. I hope shes not experiencing post pardom depression.
PS Gretchen looks awful! Bloated and injected. Such a beauty, now gone.
PPS Who told Vicki to wear that red dress? She should unfriend them ASAP!
Now ai know for sure that Vickie does not have true friends…. A true friend would have never let her walk out into a gathering in that red dress that showed every body flaw to perfection. So many other choices would have flattered her. Instead she chose to look at herself from the cleavage -up.
I think Meghan likes her dog, Girly Girl, more than her new daughter. She lights up when she talks about her dog but not so much when it comes to Aspen.
BABY Aspen
I don’t thin anyone tells Vicki anything! The wrath would be horrendous.
I finally saw one true thing about Peggy and Diko: she admitted that she manipulates him, and she dropped the accident while she said it,
Anyone notice that Peggy connected her seatbelt and then moved it in back of her? Vicki should not have worn that red dress. Apparently Shannon is not the only one who has gained a few pounds.
That red dress looks horrible on Vicki, showing back fat and her stomach is sticking out. Maybe she needs an eye exam and get some glasses? It wasn’t flattering at all. She never needs to wear a dress showing her back ever again! Dress for your body type. Wear some spanx or get a larger size dress, because when your stomach is sticking out like that, that’s the first place eveyones eyes go to. Same dress in black would have camouflaged her stomach better and add some lace to cover those rolls on her back . Get a stylist or something. Women of every size are beautiful, but dress for your body type or what shape your body is in at the time. Turn around in a 3 way mirror and see what the back of the dress looks like on you. Back fat does not flatter anyone at any age. Vicki should focus on herself. She needs a story line that’s what she’s doing all this pot stirring. Nobody cares about her business or moving to a larger office. Nobody cares that she has a boyfriend. She’s boring! Time to replace her BRAVO. Her story line is boring, and is the same thing all the time. Criticize the new girls, get in a fight. Critcize the veteran girls, get in a fight. Ugh boring!
