Leslie Grossman is the other guest. She requested to have Shannon Beador as the other guest. I already have a lot to say about her leopard print dress, which I am sure looks lovely in person and Shannon’s “read between the lines” t-shirt with hand graphic. Or maybe just one word will do. Tacky.
David Hallberg is the bartender. He’s a principal dancer for the American Ballet Theatre. He has book out that Andy is too stupid to properly hold up. He totally covers up the guy’s name. David says the real star of the OC is Archie, Shannon’s dog.
Then, the drinking word is “Vicky.” WTF? The OG of the OC has been on the show for twelve years and whatever millennial is in charge of graphics can’t spell her name right? What a ratchet little show this is.
Fifty-seven percent of pollsters think Shannon and Kelly’s relationship will last. I agree. Two drunk chicks getting divorced will be BFFs next season.
Tomorrow, or by the time most of your read this, today, People Magazine will announce The Sexiest Man Alive and from all indications it will be Blake Shelton. I’m down with that. What I am not down with is Andy letting us know he won for “best hair.” WTF? This explains jacked up obsession with doing weird shit to his hair lately. Wonkiest tie? Wonkiest eye? Sure. This just makes some of us talk more about what the hell is going on at CAA and the collusion we’ve seen as late. Not sure what that means? Well, I’ve been sitting on some brewing tea. It has to do with a certain late night talk show host who despite the worst ratings in the world suddenly got a three-year contract extension at Bravo despite earlier reports he was being shown the door… Suddenly everything is coming up roses for him. Why is that exactly? That’s a topic for another time…
I do not like Leslie Grossman.
Regarding Shannon’s split with David, she says when they filmed the reunion, she and David had been separated for five weeks. She says she thought getting it out there would be a relief but for her saying it all out loud made it real and final. So she has been having good days and bad days. She starts to cry. Last week she saw that he had taken off his wedding ring. She says that is inevitable, but making the adjustment is difficult. She tries to stop herself from crying she says it is all good and this had to happen and there are good days ahead. Andy treats her like a wounded baby bird and tells he it’s okay to feel emotion. This means Shannon is back for sure, which we already knew. But he is so nice to some people and cruel to others. It’s Peggy, Lydia and Meghan who are out from what I’ve heard.
The audience is very pro Shannon. All twelve of them.
After returning from the break, the drinking word has now been spelled properly. Andy held the book up again still covering the author’s name.
Shannon says that she has had talks with Tamra about shady things she has done on the show in confessional and in scenes she was not in. She says in those conversations Tamra tells her what really happened and Shannon says during the season she was so volatile that Tamra walked on eggshells around her a little bit. Peggy tweets, ” What means walked on eggshells?” I keed. I keed.
Andy clarifies to what’s her name that Lydia was not fired after her first season, she did not want to come back.
Apparently, an editor from the show gave Shannon her t-shirt. Seriously. Who wears a t-shirt to this show? Despite the ratchet nature of the whole thing, you should try to look nice. A Vicki fans asks why Shannon would not just accept her apology. Shannon says if Vicki was sincere she would have done it privately and not while Tamra was whispering in her ear after a few drinks at a bar in Iceland.
A caller asks Shannon if she can name three people that she is not done with from this season. She says Tamra Judge. And Kelly Dodd. And at this point there are not any others. So no. She can’t do that.
Shannon is obsessed with Ramona and Sonja.
We end with lots of accolades for Shannon and supporting her in her divorce.
Why you make fun of WWHL when they spell a name wrong when you always spell common words wrong?
Bwahhahahaha! These type of comments really slay me.
*types* ?
Tina, we all make grammical mistakes occasionally here with the family and we all get it. The difference is Tamara Tattles has not yet made it to night time television. Now when that happens we’ll make sure that all spelling is correct. Until then, Put some Respek on it.
Because she can. She’s the Ruler of this rachet site.
exactly. this may not be pretty
Bye-Bye : )
Shannon’s wardrobe
choice baffled me. I do like her new brighter and blonder color. This was her chance to send a big FU to her husband by wearing a hot dress to highlight her weight loss, but she looked kind of schlubby in a t-shirt.
My heart broke when they played the sneak peek for next week and it focused on her and her pain while she is sitting right there! Certainly there is enough drek with the rest of the reunion that they could have found something that did not have her in the crosshairs. Crappy move!
The T-shirt was terrible.
While it may have been a funny joke, in 1985, it’s wasn’t WWHL appropriate. Like you said, who wouldn’t want to wear an elegant, sexy black dress to make your cheating husband seethe?
It kills me the way Shannon so readily accepts Bravo using her worst, most humiliating emotional moments and breakdowns as ratings fodder. Can you imagine? If she were an actress, then I could understand. But this is her actual life? And she’s comfortable with that? Even Tamra fights to keep humiliating footage off the air. Shannon seems to relish in it.
Isn’t that just the point? For the women like Shannon this season, whose storylines are their real life issues, I do wonder what the heck the producers say to rev them up before filming- is it, ” Just let it out and be your most crazy self centered self Vicki” , or , “Shannon, just scream at everyone as you get mad-no need to think first” ??
For most of them, it would appear it is both of those- “Just be yourself, , say what you want to blurt out and for goodness sake let’s have a few more drinks before we film. ”
I do not understand . When they have time to watch themselves afterwards and say how much they learn after watching, why not change and improve ? It appears to be because the producers want more of the same- but when do they grow up, learn from it, etc.
This has turned into the perfect season for Vicki to wrangle her way into another one. Her stories were just quiet enough to be present but not so irritating as to anger the audience to toss her out as much as the previous five have been. Shannon , and the disappearing three have had those roles, plus Kelly-but she too gets a pass, for some reason.
Truth be told it should be like Dallas a whole new crew, many of them 15 years younger-more where OC was as it opened or Dallas is now.
I’ve thought the same thing. I think some of them do look at the footage and change, albeit superficially. Two women pop in my head: the audience had turned against Tamra and she suddenly came back a born again Christian. Camille Grammar had a big personality change between her first season and second. She was called America’s most hated woman Season 1 on several magazine covers but when she came back the following season, the smugness was gone and she was sweet and people empathized with her due to the nasty way Kelsey dumped her. At the time I wondered if she had consulted a PR for advice.
I don’t love the cast on OC but several make for good TV. I find Kelly incredibly immature and self-centered but she’s amusing. Shannon annoys me but I guess she makes for good tv. I’m in a similar position, my husband and I are getting divorced and I’m curious to see how she copes with it. If I had been filmed this year, all you would have seen was me in bed crying, eating raisin bread and watching old movies. LoL. Thank God for this site! It always gave me a laugh.
At least she wasn’t wearing a “Team Shannon” T-shirt. I think those kinda went out along with Jill Z.
I cannot stand this woman. How are people defending her consistent bad behavior and selfish over the top aggression towards all other women is baffling. Can’t stand Shannon’s personality or her look
Who knows? Maybe without that big ole wart dragging her down, Shannon will emerge as a decent, normal person with a kind heart who was just more miserable in her marriage than she ever wanted to admit to herself or her girls.
Fingers crossed.
Divorce doesn’t cure alcoholism. Just sayin’
No, but in many cases, HRT can.
Say what now? Hormone replacement therapy cures alcoholism?
You mean I can quit AA? Whoo-hoo! Get me a pellet!
I agree. Shannon never owns her outragous behavior it’s always someone else’s fault…usually Vicki’s.
Damn T! Don’t tease us! I hope you spill the tea on the aforementioned talk show host! If it’s that hot, put it in a blind post. Pretty please?
100% agree that Shannon and Kelly will be on the prowl for dudes next season and it’s going to be hilarious!
By the way, I love the shit out of you girl!

Crap. I did it again. Double posted. Dang phone. Please forgive y’all?

Of course Bravo won’t get rid of Shannon.
What with all the new “divorce” pain to exploit?
For years, Shannon has blamed her marriage for her explosive anger issues, irrational behavior and out of control emotions.
Now what? Divorce? Sigh. Just what viewers need, another divorce exploitation. Bethenny Frankel has shown that it can be milked for literally HALF a decade on Bravo. Is that what we can expect? ??
Oh, and isn’t it interesting how Shannon always looks heavier on WWHL vs. her latest Instagram photos. I have never fat shamed her, b/c I think she is beautiful, period.
But damn — stop photoshopping! It makes no sense to embrace all the compliments about how much weight she’s lost when she really hasn’t lost that much. I do not understand these people.
Love, love love Shannon and so does Jeff Lewis. David looks & acts miserable. Makes me want to slap the shat out of him. I never liked him to begin with. He looks creepy. At least he could attempt to be nice to her but he doesn’t. I feel for her because I know if he looks that miserable while filming he must treat her like shat away from the cameras so I wish COOL LOVELY SHANNON the best toward finding a man that will love, respect and honor she and her girls.
Shannon needs time to reflect on herself. Take are of her girls… Let David be gone. Find a new path in life…maybe less holistic? I really don’t think she was that way in college..imho. I think she has been unhappy in that marriage longer thatn she would even admit.
I think Shannon looked great, sad but great. Divorce is hard but in a year she will be glad she did it, healthier for everyone.
I wonder why she did not mention Meghan as her third. I thought they were friends.
Shannon made a post on instagram today clarifying that she meant to include Meghan (:
TT I could care less about the O.C, I never really got into it…however the tea you’re about to drop is what I’m parched for. First we heard about the yayo offers, I wonder if said late night talk show host was also making other offers to satisfy his ego and nauseating need for attention. Spill TT, I’m here for it.
I just love this post, absolutely love it!
I think a lot of people are mixed about Shannon Beador because we’ve seen her be at the receiving end of undeserving attacks, such as she got from Heather Debrow and Tamra earlier on. Also, despite her obvious emotional mood swings and her tendency to displace blame, Shannon has the ability to articulate in a manner and with humor that is somewhat endearing. What I haven’t liked, is from the beginning, she was behaving with a self centeredness and from what I could see, both she and David seemed neglectful of the effects on their daughters. While they appear pretty well adjusted, having a parents who are emotionally all over the place, ends up being indifferent to their needs, is NOT healthy. I hope she’s begun to realize that children will model and or internalize negative self concepts based on the behaviors of their parents. I wonder what Shannon’s background is and what her parents were like…she seems like such a wounded bird. Anyway, I do wish her well, I like her and feel her pain, but hope to see her more stable in the future.
I would’ve thought that Shannon would put Meghan on the “not totally done with her” list. Did I miss something?
I was wondering the same thing re: Meghan being left off.
Tamara, what’s the tea please?! 🙂
