Wow, Flipping Out has been on the air for TEN YEARS. We are Sofa King old. I totally forgot mention on my recap of RHOOC that Tamra, Shannon and Kelly all showed up in the same dress to the Armenian Rhapsody. Andy plays a clip of the last time Jenni was on WWHL with Kelly Dodd and totally grilled her while having her friend Shannon’s back.
We get a clip of next weeks Flipping Out where Zoila gets busted for causing issues with the hired help and leaves. I feel like we have been through this situation before but it seems this time Zoila is gone for good. Jenni says she felt caught in the middle with Zoila. She had Zoila in her wedding and they have always gotten along well. She says that this has been going on for a long time. Jeff and Zoila have been together for 18 years.
Jenni says that Jeff has changed a lot since Monroe’s birth. He finally loves someone more than himself. Things are much better with Jeff and Gage now. Jeff seems very happen. Andy mentions that Kim Zolciak has been super supportive and giving Jeff all sorts of parenting tips.
A viewer asks Shannon if she doesn’t want Tamra and Vicki to be friends because then she will not have any allies left. Shannon says absolutely not. She says she has told Tamra many times that if she wants to make up with Vicki she will support it. Shannon says that Tamra has asked her to help her stay strong and not to make up with VIcki. Who asks a friend to help them fight their urge to make up with another friend. This makes no sense to me.
Jenni hesitantly admits that she does believe that Zoila was interfering with and intimidating the hired help at Jeff’s place. She says it’s all a real life telanovella.
A caller asks Shannon if she and Lydia can ever be friends. She gives the generic “watch and see” answer but then adds she has been very surprised watching the season and all of the mean things Lydia has said about her during her interviews. She says she’s said nothing negative about Lydia all season.
Jenni has asked which housewife has the tackiest home. Andy doesn’t think she will answer, but she does! She says Teresa Giudice! Look at Jenni throwing some shade!
Jenni’s favorite Zoila memory is how Jeff and Zoila say Todo Limpio to each other all the time.
Shannon claims she has never blamed Vicki for her weight gain. Should we believe her, or our lying ears?
I really couldn’t believe Shannon tried to say she never claimed Vicki caused her weight gain. I would estimate I’ve heard her say it at least a dozen times this season. Good grief.
Shannon’s memory is about as good as mine, but she doesn’t fool anyone with that little gem.
Gage, take baby Monroe and run if Kim Z. is giving her other Dad ANY parenting advice. We have all seen how that ends up.
I love Jenny. She is a wonderful friend and very loyal and honest. I meant to say it was so funny when AC said to MJ and Jeff that they were two of his favorite bravolebrities. Jeff was shocked, he said, because of the way Andy treats him. Love me some Jeff Lewis.
I would LOVE to see Jeff and Gage’s faces when kim gives parenting advice. It’s like when my friend who is a mess gave me “advice.” Umm…thanks.
Ahh Shannon, be honest, weight gain is all Vickys fault. LOL
I won’t be surprised if Zoila was caught sabotaging employees, her words to and about Gage were so bad.
I believe her that it is Vicky’s fault. When she came on the show Vicky was her friend. Betrayal is a bitch and it does make some people eat for comfort. I can’t swallow food when I’m devastated so I lose weight, but some people are the opposite.
Excuses!
So? You don’t ever have excuses for things you do to cope? Must be nice.
She shoveled the food in her face, Vickie didn’t do that. She made a choice to eat. She is probably gaining weight because of menopause nd her bitty marriage. David wants out so bad
I grind my teeth. Well, not exactly. I play melodies on my teeth that have to come out exactly right. Some call it OCD. Or, they would if I told anyone.
Dear God it is contagious!
I understand what you’re saying- no doubt girlfriend betrayal goes deep and can be very painful (been there!) but Shannon has a lot of other issues going on and it feels like she scapegoats/uses Vickie to deflect from dealing with them. She’s also the one who constantly brings up Vickie’s allegation about her husband beating her. David’s moved on-he doesn’t care. The audience moved on.
I was thinking about Wendy Williams-she denied the allegations about her husband then went silent, stayed silent and everybody moved on to the next scandal within DAYS! This week it’s Harvey Weinstein. Nobody is talking her husband/the cheating anymore.
Or it’s age, menopause, & lifestyle choices…
Vicki didn’t force her to eat badly & Shannon’s always said she hates exercise.
If she’s really dedicated to losing weight & wants start working out, I’m sure her BFF Tamara can get her a great deal to join her gym.
she said Tamra’s gym is like 30-40 min away, so that’s not workable. Apparently david bought her that Peloton bike, I don’t blame her for hating cycling, I’d rather do almost any other type of cardio sans running.
Do any of you remember Shannon’s 2nd season after she’d found out about David’s affair? Almost everyone was crazy about Shannon from her first season, partly because Heather had told her to get out of her house. It was one of Heather’s high and mighty moves. Shannon was fun and funny even through that and forgave Heather rather easily. It was like they were circling each other to find out which of them was the richest bitch. I’d NEVER forgive someone who threw me out of their home. A lie I would remember but I could forgive that.
Anywho, during the 2nd season, Shannon was at a USC football game and started yelling at David’s mistress who was about 10 rows behind them. It wasn’t on the show but we talked about it here at TT’s blog. Guess who the mistress had at the game with her. It was Jeff Lewis. I’ve always believed that Shannon cultivated the friendship with Jeff because of the mistress. Shannon is a miserable human being and wants us all to be as unhappy as she is. I’ve rarely seen a housewife fall out of favor so quickly. She’s just so dang unlikable.
I don’t watch WWHL but I did click thru the channels right as Shannon said she’d “never blamed my weight gain on Vicki.” That’s a lot of moxie to tell that big a lie. She and Tamara deserve each other.
The mistress actually had better seats IN FRONT OF Shannon. And there was never any mention of Jeff Lewis being there with the mistress.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOP MAKING ME DEFEND SHANNON BEADOR!
The mistress purchased those seats to purposely sit right in front of Shannon and David after their reconciliation.
Shannon is acting nutso, but I have a lot of sympathy. I went through the first 5 years of menopause without hormones. It was a mistake. Fortunately, I made it through without going to jail or damaging too many relationships. Thank goodness, none of that time was on camera.
LOL, TT. The menopause does eventually end but the memory never comes all the way back. Please forgive me the 20 row difference.
I just checked back to make sure I had most of the story right.
Jane, I’m not in favor of extra-marital affairs, but I’m beginning to understand why David strayed. Shannon is in dingbat territory. There is no one man who could meet her clingy demands. For someone who had all of life’s advantages, she is one needy woman.
Shannon was on Jeff’s show last week. Tamra introduced them.
Heather threw her out because she came in her house in the evening when she was spending time with her family and children and the children were home and shannon flipped the fuck out. I’d kick her ass out too. Heather seemed to have very little toleration for taping in front of her kids. Good for her.
To quote TT, “damn you for making me defend Shannon” but I definitely don’t recall, “Shannon flipping the fuck out” at all. She was upset but calm-it was Heather who flipped out and threw her out. It wasn’t like Heather didn’t know she was coming over-production was there. Please.
Heather did the same weird thing when the both of them had a disagreement over a seat at a table. She exaggerated Shannon’s behavior, saying she was yelling and waving her arms in the restaurant. It didn’t happen. Heather is no peach either.
No, she totally didn’t “freak out” in Heather’s house lol and slice o’pie is right, heather totally fabricated the whole “yelling across the restaurant” and waving her arms bit about the chair. Nobody acted like that, Heather made the scene.
I can’t with crazy Shannon anymore. In every episode she talks about her weight gain being Vicki’s fault, Vicki’s lies etc. B*tch pls you lie all the time. STFU and get some counseling.
Vicki does lie all the time and she could use some counseling as well. They are both hot messes.
I rarely love WWHL- but this one I did because both guests were truth tellers! God bless Jenni and Shannon! I truly enjoyed it! Jenni spoke truth about the gaudiest house – TG, and Shannon lives her real life! And neither give in to shit bag Andy’s shade. Yay! I feel sorry for tonight because who wants to be second chair to TG? Leah MICHELE must be mortified she has to be on stage with a Felon by Bravo while she is simply trying to promote her new show? Once again, ANDY being shady to get ratings by coupling a A star with a loser like TG!
TT, I look at it as knowing someone like a toxic friend or ex is bad for you, but you’re susceptible to their charms because you have a long history, so you ask a friend or loved one to check you, so you don’t go down that road again.
I know you like Vicki, but it makes sense to me Tamra would ask Shannon or another friend to keep her from giving her another chance to screw her over.
