I’ve had the big sleep, coffee is perking on the stove, I’ve taken some deep cleansing breaths, and I am ready to settle in for yet another episode of these crazy old ladies with new faces scream at each other while their tits flap about and fall out of their dresses. One.more.time.
First we are going to focus on Kelly and her co-parenting Jolie with Michael and her dating. Kelly says things with Michael are up and down. He not a fan of the mother of his child being on TV talking about dating men with “Pretty Huge Dicks.” A viewer points out that trying to teach Jolie values by taking her to the homeless shelter and then dumping a guy who would not buy her sunglasses isn’t really teaching her values. Kelly says she also dumped him because he was old. Kelly says Michael has a full-time girlfriend now. She’s 38. Michael is 60. Vicki does not approve of the new girls. Kelly denies treating Jolie as a contemporary and not her kid, yet we just saw her doing that yet again with Jolie after the reunion was filmed. Jolie should not be watching the show at all.
Next up, Kelly’s terrible behavior toward Steve and Shane. Frankly, I think that Emily should have punched Kelly in the mouth. Kelly feels totally justified in her behavior. Kelly doubles down and tells Emily to get her bitch under control. Kelly says she thought Emily was going to try to kill her. Again, I think she should have. Shannon butts in to defend Kelly and be a bitch to Emily and Emily is not having it. Tamra, Kelly and Shannon all band together against Emily but the second Gina comes to Emily’s defense, Tamra screams at Gina, “Why do you guys talk for each other?” WTF does any of this have to do with you, Tamra? Or Shannon for that matter. Shut your pie hole if that is still possible with your stretched out face. Andy points out Kelly was daring Emily to hit her and she continues to talk crap about Shane on her blog and social media. Tamra and Shannon both jump in to speak for Kelly. Again. Emily is crying and points out that is Kelly wants to be friends she can’t insult her husband. Kelly apologizes again. She doesn’t mean it.
On to the Jamaica trip. Vicki is embarrassed by her twerking and swears never to do it again. Vicki can’t even watch the scene of her in the black lace number. None of these people have any business judging what Vicki wears. None of them.
On to Shannon’s meltdown in Jamaica and the constant fighting between Shannon and Tamra. Gina, Kelly and Tamra all align against Shannon. Tons of screaming and most things are inaudible and Shannon sums things up by saying she feels badly for leaning on Tamra so much. She thought they had that kind of friendship and obviously they didn’t. It comes across as Shannon saying Tamra was not a great friend to her during her months and months of depression. Tamra says she was trying her best but she was also going through a very scary time with Eddie’s health. Everyone is screaming over everyone except for Vicki who is sitting there like Mother Teresa. Even Emily chimes in to support Tamra.
Gina brings up that Shannon didn’t speak to Kelly for two years and that she froze Emily and Gina out at every turn. Shannon says she just doesn’t like Gina. Shannon says the very first day they met, Gina was screaming in her ear about Vicki “breaking girl code” by introducing Michael to a female friend. Gina says that Tamra and Shannon were both whispering things in her ear trying to get her not to like Vicki. I believe that. Shannon and Tamra would like nothing more than to take Vicki down.
Andy asks if it was really something that Gina did or did Shannon just have it out for the new girls. AGAIN. Shockingly, Shannon admits that it was a combination of both. Andy keeps on pushing Shannon about why she doesn’t want to take antidepressants and Vicki wants to know why it is a negative thing. Emily says she takes them. Shannon says it is because it means you can’t manage your life and you are a mess so you need to be medicated. Tamra asks if that was something David said to her. Shannon starts crying and says David said things like that to her all the time. So I get how that could be a trigger for Shannon; however, perhaps the first hundred times David suggested it, it was coming from a good place.
Next, Andy brings up Shannon’s self-medicating with alcohol and pretty much in unison they all agree that they all do that. Shannon said she was hurt that Vicki said she had rich girl problems during the divorce. Well, Vicki was right. Shannon said she was hurt that Kelly said David was a saint for putting up with her for as long as he did. Kelly then said that she didn’t choose her words properly and just meant it must have been hard for David, “to live with someone like that.” Newsflash, Kelly, that didn’t sound any better. But it’s true nonetheless.
Shannon has apparently stopped calling Tamra since the Jamaica episodes aired. Both Shannon and Tamra are very emotional. Tamra wonders if Shannon is just going to continue not speaking to her until February when filming starts up again. Shannon says that David would tell her she was an alcoholic, and crazy and selfish. Shannon says that was what she was hearing from Tamra and it made her very defensive in Jamaica. Shannon is now on the phone with her therapist daily since receiving the Jamaica episodes. I think she needs medication and perhaps a better therapist. I noticed on Shannon’s social media she is pushing some natural remedy for menopause. Sometimes they help. I’ve been thinking I need to get back on SAM-e or something at least temporarily to get me through this winter where apparently it is going to rain every damn day.
Kelly squirms in her seat as they role the clip of Kelly and Gina telling Shannon that everyone was talking about her mental health in Jamaica. We are spending a lot of time talking about how crazy, selfish and alcoholic Shannon is on this episode. Literally everyone on the show except possibly Vicki has said these things many times.
Shannon called Gina up after filming the scene with her eye surgery and told her she is afraid she might lose custody of the girls based on what was said on the show and she wanted to know exactly what was said. She also told Gina not to mention anything to Tamra. Shannon denies this. Shannon denies saying she was concerned about her custody. Shannon admits there was a conversation but then denies every part of the conversation. I believe Gina. Gina finally screams that Shannon is an “open book of bullshit.”
I should point out this is all in a high-pitched scream that only dogs can hear and I can’t wait for this to be over. There are ten minutes left and this better be wrapped up, because the last thing we need is another episode of this crap. Tamra says that is was wrong of Gina to go to Shannon after her surgery and stir the pot. Gina says she felt bad for Shannon who was recuperating from surgery alone while everyone was talking about her mental health. Gina apologizes for…. telling the truth I guess. She says she was not being a shit stirrer and was really trying to help Shannon. Gina says she felt terrible for Shannon and her divorce situation. Gina starts to cry and says she is going through it too and it sucks and she got her heart-broken too. Gina apologized to Shannon. Then Emily apologizes to Shannon for comparing her mentally ill mother and Shannon’s behavior. Everyone apologizes to Shannon. Andy points out that Shannon is accepting apologies from Gina and Emily but she still hates them. Emily points out that maybe Shannon should apologize for ignoring the new girls all season. And they are all screaming and apologizing again. 
Dear God is this going to end or not? Yes! We are. Everyone is going to around and say one thing they would take back. Kelly says it is calling David a saint. Gina says it is inserting herself in Shannon’s situation in Jamaica. Emily says threatening to kill Kelly. Vicki says she would have told Michael not to put in a position of having to keep things from Kelly. Tamra says venting her frustrations with Shannon. She cries. Kelly tells Shannon that Tamra does love her. Shannon says losing her shit in Jamaica. It all seemed to be about Shannon and Kelly, the two biggest assholes on the show.
It ends with a shot of tequila for all. Emily tweeted over the weekend that she is still blocked by Shannon and Tamra on social media. Tamra tweeted a photo of Sidney and Eddie helping with the unpacking and settling into their new house. It looks like Vicki is the only one talking to the new girls. Kelly still seems on the outside of the Tres Amigas friendship triangle. Threesomes never work out.
Threesomes never work out! haha Ain’t it the truth
Here are my thoughts about this horrific episode. It is sad in our society that we tune in every week to see grown women hate on each other and allow them to drink too much and make poor choices. I’m guilty of it. I still am disgusted by these women’s behavior but I watch this turmoil Andy created every week. There is something that needs to change. This was pretty bad and Andy just sat there allowing all this yelling. Does Bravo actually think people want to listen to yelling? What good is this doing? I know I just shouldn’t watch. But, it’s like a habit I can’t quit. We are all making Andy and these crazy inappropriate women rich!!! How does this happen. These women look trashy and act trashy. I guess being trashy is a key to being employed by Bravo. What a class difference between RHOC and RHOBH!
LADIES HANG TIGHT I HAVE TO VENT:
I have a lot to say about Shannon:
Shannon-This reunion was all about Shannon. It was vile to me. She plays victim all the time. And Tamara has to TELL her good friend to call and be concerned for Eddie?? Really? If you are in a true friendship, calling about Eddie would be automatic. And the excuse she didn’t call cause she was having an emotional day?! What about seeing that maybe Tamara had an emotional day, the day Eddie had tests. Selfish and self-absorbed!
Shannon’s medication issue-It is not a bad thing to go on medication. It saves people’s lives!!! Your brain is an organ too! Just like if you had a heart attack you go on meds. Same thing, when your brain is not functioning properly you go on meds. She should be ashamed of herself putting people down for that and saying it is just for mental patients.
SO, Shannon thinks it’s better to ACT like a mental patient then to take medicine that helps you to act normal. OMG! She is so ignorant.
Shannon’s demeanor-She is so self-absorbed that it is disgusting. She is the poster “child” for mean girls. And what she is showing on TV is probably hurting her girls in the long run. Is TV really worth all that?? She is wealthy, she really needs to be on TV and embarrass herself and her kids. I could never!!! Those poor girls.
Shannon’s facial expressions-Her facial expressions just shows her true self! Mean-spirited, lack of compassion, disrespectful, and vile! The way she looked at Gina when Gina sincerely apologized, once again, about her heart getting broken. Shannon just sat there “oh I accepted her apology”??? Shannon life-less and stone faced. A person with compassion and a heart would have gotten off their ass and went to go hug Gina. Poor Gina!!
Apology Tour-Who the fuck does Shannon think she is? Sitting their “accepting” apology after apology! At some point a “sane” person would say “stop no more apologies!” She should be ashamed of herself. These women were like “puppies” begging for forgiveness. And then, Shannon to YELL at Emily about her apologizing to Emily. Shannon yelling at Emily, “What do you need a daily apology?” After she sat there listening to apology after apology. Does Shannon have any self awareness? And Andy just sat there allowing this to happen. Everyone kissing Shannon’s ass, the “Queen”.
Shannon doesn’t deserve the kindness from others. You get what you give but, I guess that doesn’t apply here. It was insane to watch.
Tamara-I don’t think anything that Tamara says or does is real. She “acts” for the show and ratings so she gets invited back. I hope Eddie will be okay. I think their relationship is real. And Eddie is good for her.
Vicki-I can’t believe how she doesn’t have self-awareness too. She is this “big” boss lady and she acts like that on national TV and people actually go to her for their insurance needs and a guy actually invested his own money to partner with her.?? Maybe I’m missing something cause I just don’t get it. Vicky should not get anymore plastic surgery. She looks so fake. Not a good look. You can see where the skin was stitched by her ear area, SAME with Tamra. fooling nobody. lol
Kelly-Her behavior with Jolie is so inappropriate. She should never bash Jolie’s father to her. It is so unhealthy for Jolie and I’m sure she hears it at school. Jolie is soo sweet and kind. I teared up when Jolie started crying at the shelter. It showed her heart. But, like someone said here..taking her to the shelter and then showing her that breaking up for material reasons is okay. Makes no sense. Kelly’s vile sex talk is so over the top. It is inexcusable. The Shane situation! I am with EMILY all the way. Emily was just reacting to Kelly’s immature behavior against Shane!! Oh Kelly felt threatened by Emily, this educated, classy woman? But, Kelly just poked and poked at Emily. That doesn’t show fear! I would have looked bad on Emily if she didn’t react to Kelly’s behavior. Good for Emily.
Emily-LOVE her. She is NOT fat. She rocks those one piece outfits. People are just jealous when they talk about petting shit. Her husband? Not sure yet. But, the mother-in-law is everything. Emily and her have such a sweet relationship. Emily must return. They need some class on the show.
Gina-She should be invited back. I’m not sure she is done showing herself. I think she can be a key player. I feel so sorry for her with her divorce. I find it suspicious how they lived in Jersey all of their lives but, once they move to California their marriage is rocky?? Come on, my opinion Matt was unfaithful and found a new California “girl”. Gina is tough, she will be okay. Shannon is just jealous of Gina because Gina actually manages her breaking heart. Gina needs to stop wearing heavy make-up! She looked so pretty when she had no make-up on and talking to her mom on the phone.
LADIES, thank you for letting me vent. I’m done, I’m clear now. I can delete all my RHOC episodes. LOL
OMG I love every word in this comment. I also love Emily and even Shane. I thought Shane handled himself very well and even saw his snarky side when Kelly came crawling to their house to apologize to him. Kelly is a disgusting hag and agree with every word you described about the others. This comment rocks…
I don’t think Gina has the appeal for this show as her storyline is limited. I don’t see men from here going for her long term for a serious relationship as she acts weird and is socially an embarrassment.
This is how women are. This is art imitating life. It is awful and sad. I wouldnt put much faith in anything Tamra had to say though, shes a major backstabber, liar, and she shouldnt have been talking behind Shannon’s back in the first place. Thats not how friends should act, and even Eddie told her not to do it. Tamra could have ended the friendship with Shannon if she doesnt like the friendship, but instead talks shit and incites the others to bully who she is wanting to hurt. This is what she allways does. I would be pissed off too, if a group of women told me to take meds. Its none of their buisness, and theyre not doctors. Gina is never sincere period, and if I were Shannon I’d have told her to fuck off and mind her own damn buisness. I cant stand when women pile on and gang up, just to brown nose the alpha bitch, because theyre cowards. Kelly is out of control and out of bounds with Emily and Shane. Thats the only part I agree with, but we all see things differently I guess.
I agree with EVERYTHING YOU SAID. Gina needs to mind her damn business. You just met this woman and feel like you know her or her situation. And Kelly to say David was a saint. Well Michael was one too she can be such a bitch
AGREED! Gina is a baby Tamara…Lord help us!! Love Emily!!
That was a long comment but I read all of it and agree with almost everything.
Shannon is awful. There must be a part of her that we do not see because Kelly and Tamra seem to give her a pass and praise her for “being a good person”.
Kelly needs anger management. I enjoy her fiery personality but she snaps too hard.
I like Vicki. I missed the bad season so … that might explain it. Her cocaine comment was too low. This season I enjoyed her a lot. And, her face looks great, IMO. So does Tamra. Just my opinion.
Love Gina and Emily both. Eddie is a gem and I wish him well.
Do you speak from experience? Do tell!! Lol.
Get yourself a light box and use it every morning. (You can get a decent one for under $200) It’s the only thing that gets me through the winter in Connecticut. I’ve been battling Seasonal Affective Disorder since I was 18. Unfortunately, it started when I was away at college in Burlington, VT, second cloudiest city in the country and 240 north of my home in CT. (And about 15 years before anyone recognized it as a condition.)
As for the reunion—it’s hard to believe thatVickie has become the voice of sanity and calm in this group.
I’m going to tell my sister about the light box!! Her daughter goes to college in Burlington and has been having some depression issues. This may be the answer!! I’m from CT too (Stamford) but moved to the Smokies about 30 years ago. I miss Connecticut!! Have a great Christmas!
I work in Stamford! It has changed in 30 years for sure. Sorry this has nothing to do with the recap so I will add something. Shannon is so annoying.
She is annoying!! Grew up on Soundview Court. My mom worked in the courthouse for 40 years!! Merry Christmas ‘n
Vitamin D and a light box (or several happy lights) from Verilux is helpful. Also, being outside for 20 minutes each day. Even if it is raining or overcast there is enough candle power to make a person feel better. GE Reveal lights are helpful because they simulate daylight, which can be energizing and mood elevating.
Thank you for reminding me that I need to go get more vitamin D. ?
A few more weeks and thankfully the days will be getting longer again! December is challenging. Without light therapy it is hard to want to do anything except eat carbohydrates with lots of butter.
Tamara, first off… thank you for recapping and honestly? I agree with every single thing you said so I don’t have to put my two cents in other than saying this… why do they all insist on looking so cheap and trashy? Tamra’s dress was so bad, there are no words to describe it. I have no idea where they shop (and I live in Corona del Mar most of the time) so I know there are stores that actually sell (HARK) age appropriate clothing. There is a sleaze factor to them (and I might leave Emily off this list even tho I didn’t like that dress she had on) that is such an OC thing. It’s almost like they purposely try to find the cheapest looking dresses that expose the most cleavage and/or upper thigh area (again, why?) or with the slits everywhere (again, an OC thing) and it really just cheapens them. They can get all the eye lifts, face lifts, neck lifts, etc. they want, but it really doesn’t help when you dress like a ho. I hate quoting Sarah Palin but when she said “you can put lipstick on a pig” I got what she meant. We were at a wedding this past weekend where the bridesmaids looked elegant. They all wore slinky little dresses but they were elegant and classy. Not a cleavage in sight. Unlike these girls (cannot call them women, sorry/not really sorry as they do not act like grown women) who insist on finding the ugliest dresses, buying them a size too small or having them fitted to the point where the thread on the seams is screaming for help. Kelly can wear a red dress with matching lipstick but she is looking like the joker now with all the botox/filler around her mouth area. Vicki’s face hardly moves. Shannon is a mess inside and out and yes, she needs a new therapist. Maybe find one that doesn’t tell her what she wants to hear but she’d just storm out waving her arms saying “I’m Done” so it wouldn’t matter. This season was boring quite frankly. The screaming and yelling and name calling and back stabbing and lying is just exhausting. Is this what these HW shows have come to? Then again, what would most of them do for $ without the show? Until next season where I hope half of them are gone and new blood arrives.. thanks for all the recaps Tamara!
Couldn’t agree more about the outfits! At one time, Shannon dressed more appropriately–sort of a Chanel style. But now they all seem to want to show as much skin as possible.
A friend who works in television as a wardrober told me that they do put actors in clothes that are a size too small on purpose (including children!) in order to make them appear thinner. Maybe these ladies got the memo and that’s why they wear clothes that are too small.
Can you I magine how much coin that therapist is making due to daily phone calls? Too bad that Tamra didn’t charge her by the minute. I wish I could be Shannon’s therapist. I would listen, give her pep talks, and not reveal what she said.
I was thinking the same thing. My therapist was $180 for 50 minutes. If she does phone therapy every day and an regular session once a week her therapy bills are a good $1000 a week. And it doesn’t seem to be helping.
Shannon’s therapist isn’t the problem. I know because sees my therapist, who has said to me she and patient like me, who actually follows her advice.
She’s wasn’t referring to Shannon specifically just that she has so many patients who only go to her to have someone who will listen to their problems but she also said sadly few actually take the time or make the effort to work on themselves.
Well this proves her therapist is crap. I had a therapist who used to talk to me about other patients (no names) more than I talked to him. I felt like HIS therapist and fired him after the second session of his inappropriate conversations. She DEFINATELY needs a new therapist. It’s also a red flag that her therapist has time to talk to her every day. Good therapist are very difficult to get appointments with and it takes a while to secure a regular timeslot.
You can’t force a person to change unless they’re ready. Good luck trying!
I am not a therapist but Jesus H Christ 180 for 50 minutes ! That’s outrageous! You can vent to all of us for free ! Please dont pay that shyster another dime! We are all here for you ! Freezing cold here. Hope I get snowed in with the children for Christmas ! Making hummingbird cake ; layers not bundt.I take your directions well xo Marc
How is she going to pay for her water?
Pfffttt!!
The highlight of the night was when Shannon told Gina ” I just don’t like you”… good for her after having to endure Gina Bullying Shannon all season and trying to act all relevant at that reunion. Gina was Interjecting when half the time they all just ignored with those bulging eyeball rolling that she does. God help us if we have to go through another season of that.
Yeah, I liked that too! I can’t stand Gina. She makes the ugliest clown faces, to go along with her prision yard bullying of Shannon. I doubt many guys are gonna be knocking her door down with all her baggage. Kelly at times looked like a gopher baring its blindingly white fangs. She is taking on a jokerish look I agree. I bet shes not gonna do any better than Michael either. It was dumb for Vickie to weigh in on Michael’s girlfriends age, and I doubt he would want anything to do with Vickie big mouth ever again. Like she has any room to talk about matches made in heaven, with her Dirty John Brooks that she chased for years in embarassing desperation. Vickie is probably very threatened that Steve could join Michael, and choose someone from that age pool too. He might as well, since he’s expected to perform four times a day.
I agree about the Seasonal Affective Disorder. A lot of people have that problem..Tamara.
I tend to get depressed beginning in January until spring. I make myself do something in my house. Repaint a room or something. This year I’m painting my kitchen cabinets grey. Got it all planned out.
TT-Great recap. You have a great ability to see both sides of a situation.
I have never seen a group of women more self absorbed and contradicting then the women on the Real Housewives shows. Do any of them ever think of someone else before they think of themselves? The women could all share a new tag line…
“Me, me,me, I, I, I”
Agree. Excellent recap. How does TT do it? It is hard for me to focus.
Do any of those women (can’t use the word ladies) like each other? Or are the relationships all for the TV show? At least the guys seem to actually become friends with one another.
These plastic old hags are just a joke!!! Love Emily and Gina!! Put the old horses out to pasture!!
Not only do I love them too but I really like Shane! My favorite scene all season was him putting loud mouthed Kelly in her place by reacting shockingly to her rant toward Steve…”you mean this is your normal behavior?”
I cannot decide who I dislike more between Tamra, Shannon and Kelly. I will say if that moose Kelly said that shit about my husband she would learn the hard way. I would rock her fucking world, there would be calls to the cops when I know she’s out boozing, I would do so many nasty underhanded things slowly that she would melt the fuck down. I truly think Michael and everyone else is afraid of her, I don’t think anyone really likes her, I think they fear her. It wouldn’t shock me to find out that Michael was an abused husband. And on to Tamra, she is trash and always will be, she is not a good friend nor is she a good person. Shannon is a neurotic little happy dog that we all wanna drop kick over a fence. Go get your meds Shannon and shut the fuck up. Vickie needs to just stay out of the drama from here on out. Gina, wow. She unloaded on the reunion and I loved it, she wasn’t gonna sit in the corner anymore. Emily is my favorite, I just love her. She has a good heart and I adore her relationship with her husband. They are actually perfect for each other.
Shame on you for comparing Shannon to a dog !! There is no reason to insult dogs ! ? As for your other observations concerning Shannon and the other wackos, I agree 100%.
I can see why Shannon and Jeff are such close friends. They are two peas in a pod.
There is something genuinely wrong with Kelly. I watched a video she posted on social media recently, sitting in her car outside her gym FREAKING out that Heather D. was out front chatting and would not leave. The way she was talking just sounded like she was so demented and mean. Why are you even posting these thoughts to the world? Let alone having them at all? It gave me the creeps. I wouldn’t want ANYTHING to do with her.
Kelly needs to not be asked back to this show. She brings nothing.
Shannon does need medication! Maybe she should think that if her ex husband and now also her friends are saying the same things to her then they might be right. Vodka can’t be your only meds!
I wish they wouldn’t bring Tamra back but she knows how to secure her spot every season, This time it was having a fight with Shannon so they can make up next season. I like Gina and Emily and hope they will both be back. Vicki is the OG so she isn’t going anywhere.
I always record every part of any reunion, then watch them all, one by one. The breaks between weekly
shows aren’t natural, just made to stretch out to make more money. So, I just watched three hours,(minus
commercials) of 6 over-the-hill women, badly dressed and over made up, scream at each other over absolutely nothing. I guess I am very tired of the HW franchises, with their phony non-issues. That’s why
I’m loving Bravo’s Saturday night line up. Three fresh shows, with no screaming. Love Carson and Thom,
the Oklahoma ladies are refreshing and the finished projects are wonderful (the pranks are fun, too), and
I’ve even gotten into Buy it Blind.
Vicky has made the greatest change since her new boyfriend. He obviously isn’t comfortable with the old screechy Vicky, and she’s embarrassing when she begs him to marry her. I’m not real sure I like him, he seems pretty controlling, either that or Vicky is really desperate.
I never really cared for Shannon, her new age medicine turned me off, but then she was married to one
of the most unattractive men I’ve ever seen. There was something wrong with David’s eyes, and he never did treat Shannon as if he cared about her. I think she’s well out of that marriage.
Can’t stand Kelly. She is just vulgar trash. And that mouth!!! Did it come that way, or did she actually
pay someone to do that to her? Those huge lips on celebrities are horrible, topped only by the grotesque butts people are acquiring.
Tamra has gotten a lot of mileage out of her looks. She latched on to this younger man who turned out
to be a real human being, with all the attendant problems. I feel sorry for Eddie, and hope his physical
problems get straightened out. Tamra better hang on to him, she’s getting a little long in the tooth, although you’ve got to give it to her, she looks very good.
The two newbies could be nice, but these old timers won’t let them. Gina needs some rough edges smoothed off, and Emily is almost too nice and level-headed for the show. By the way, Emily isn’t fat,
she is most men’s exact dream girl.
So, there’s my two cents, for what it’s worth. I am tired of the HW’s franchise, sick of Andy, and ready
for Bravo to bring on some interesting programming. Remember how good Project Runway used to
be? Get with it, Bravo.
Dang, ya’ll! Its just tv… some of you guys have serious homicidal tendencies about people you see on tv!
Anyway, I agree w you TT on keeping the cast just as it is for next season. They should add Heather Dubrow back and I think the dynamic will be more exciting. I enioyed Vicki’s calmer demeanor this season
TT you are a saint for recapping this so I don’t have to watch it. I’d recast the entire show if I could. They are all miserable, spoiled bitches.
Except Emily. I feel badly for her. I think her husband is a total jerk.
Emily, Gina and Vicki (only if she continues to do the show the way Steve advises her to do it). I bet Steve was horrified by Vicki’s cocaine comment.
At the beginning of this season Kelly was calmer and reasonable. But, she finished the show in the gutter.
?She works hard for her money, so hard for it hunni!! How you suffer through these recaps is beyond me. But my name is Nancy and I’m a HW addict!! I LOVE the reunions-but this was a true shitshow. Shannon is insufferable. Just a stone cold self involved bitch. David was correct and he probably meant well. Tamra is a trashy snake, Kelly as well. Vicki played it smart and took Steves advice. Good work Vicki!! I love Emily, can we please have an actual HW with integrity? Please?? I really want Gina back-that girl has some balls!! Thanks for the recap TT-glad you got good sleep!!
I love how TT always interjects some personal comments about herself. She knows how to make her commentary fun & relatable.
Shannon is the type person that wails out in pain as she is beating someone else with a baseball bat.
You made me laugh out loud!! So true though!
Hahahaha! Gary Busey. I will never look at Gina again and see her any other way. Thank you for making me laugh.
That was painful to watch!! I didn’t know Andy needed Gina’s help questioning the girls! I see how Shannon came off, but Tamra was terrible to be so 2 faced….don’t say things are worked out after they had lunch if they are not!! Tam admitted Shannon never let her down again about Eddie after their discussion, she just re hashed it all behind her back CONSTANTLY.
I thought it was all terrible and unfortunate. Neither Gina or Shannon do much social media about the show. I’m waay over this season. I don’t know what they’d have talked about if not Shannon! gross! I honestly think Emily and Shannon will end up being friends, she’s already been pictured with Gina. They need a timeout!!
Don’t forget your vitamin D, Tamara. I will look into SamE. I took it years ago and didn’t notice anything but … I was in my 30’s so many I simply didn’t need it.
Kelly wasn’t scared of Emily. She watches Women With Knives … lol! My hunch is a scared woman doesn’t continue to provoke the person they are scared of by calling their husband a little bitch and dork. They also don’t say “hit me hit me” so they can hit them back. Nonsense and hypocrisy. Hasn’t Kelly yelled she was going to kill someone? Was it Tamra??
I’m glad someone finally addressed the way these women dress. They need to channel Heather Dubrow (sp). I didn’t watch the cancer season or the season before … that is my disclaimer if Heather changed her style in the late seasons.
The biggest laugh was when Andy said Shannon still hates Gina and Emily.
Shannon really is all the things David said she was … and if Tamra thought she was exhausted being Shannon’s friend she might consider how hard it was for David to be married to her. David isn’t a gem … but I remember watching him and being alarmed at the anger in his eyes. He seemed dark, arrogant, condescending, hateful <——- something unsettling and along those lines. I couldn't really pinpoint it but it left me uneasy. Now I wonder how many times did he try to reason with Shannon and she would counter any conversation with "I'm done" and play the victim.
I'm one of the few viewers who likes Gina. Her reunion hair even grew on me. LOL
I just turned off / deleted this screamfest ten minutes before it was to end. About 50 minutes too late. I look to these shows for escapism from my REAL world problems. All i have is a headache now.
Interesting Reunion. Much like last year at the 2:45 minute mark, Tamra sees the light and reunites with Shannon. Last year it was VIcki. It is becoming predictable.
Is it really “icing out” when the Iced has spent the bigger part of the season lamenting how Icer is exhausting. All of a sudden Tamra the Iced is calling out, Shannon the Icer won’t engage until filming resumes.
Kelly will be back just because she needs a job. If I had to choose between Emily and Gina, I hope Emily gets the nod and gets real. No more rich MIL or begging for another baby. just be Emily. She offers up some intelligence-but get of Shannon’s ass-it is a bad look.
Gina is not real, she jumps into conversations hoping to be relevant. She just is not.
Season 14 can only be better,
That would be the 2hour and 45 minute mark
I think Tamra seemed panicked at the end. I think she worried for a moment that Shannon might choose Vickie as her new bestie and she’d have to hang with the new girls. I dont think she likes them either. I dont see how Shannon could ever view Tamra again as a trusted or good friend. Tamra’s communication style is abusive and soooo manipulative. She bullies everyone into submission. Gina saying she feels bad so bad for Shannon is manipulative too. She treats her like shit and then gets bent out of shape that she doesnt like her. I hope Gina is cut, but I wouldnt mind Emily.
Light box check your medical insurance usually covered under the D Me bennifits. It works. Durable medical equipment. Here in mn I use from Oct to may
Tamara, excellent recap!!! Nobody breaks down these shows as well as you do! I’m completely off the Gina Train. I no more believe her going to Shannon’s the day after Shannon’s surgery was out of concern at all – I think she’s trying to now direct the show in favor of the younger chicks, which is fine, but be honest about it. I just find her a shit-stirrer constantly in everyone’s lives anymore and she’s the youngest, not the wisest either – you don’t come on a show and tell everyone else how to act. Sorry, that’s just rude and childish. Not that any of the other women are of any better character either. I just am not a fan of shit-stirring for the sake of shit-stirring. I liked Gina at first – now, however, I cannot stand her anymore. Grow up and clean your own room, Gina. Shannon is in bad shape and yes, she’s an emotional vampire, but I still do like her on the show and I keep hoping she’ll get her act together now that her marriage is over. I don’t think David ever said anything just to help Shannon ever – that a-hole is just that – a narcissistic a-hole and a cheater – not a fan of either. Tamra is the resident bully and Kelly is a close runner-up. Vicki – just bleh. She’s getting a little too old for this game, although I know she’ll never leave either, sadly. Emily is a lovely woman, probably too good for this cast of misfits. I hope she’s around next season because I do really like her. All the rest of them can take a hike. Personally, I think all the Housewives shows have about run their course.
“crazy old ladies with new faces”
LMBO.
So funny to read the recap. It is the bleached blonde hair that is over the top as well. Really does not do any favors for them. And not sure why clothes are not purchased to look like one can move without a major display of skin. They seem like they get to travel and go to events and dinners that should be fun, but the fighting ways spoils it.
I think Vickie and Tamras blonde is ok because they have low lights and a better cut. But Shannon needs a new style and darker color blonde with dimension and movement. Its too over bleached, stiff and too one length. Gina doesnt have a good shade of blonde either. Its darker but doesnt really flatter her coloring. Since, I cant stand her, I just hope she doesnt come back.
Perhaps if Shannon cut a few inches off, too.
Your recap piqued my interest in this shit show. Will be watching tommorow while baking. I have a soft spot for Shannon so it’s not going to be pleasant. Ever since Heather suggested a 5150 hold for her she’s held a special place in my heart. I believe she is hurting unhappy & lost in life but not crazy. Wait a minute I just described myself. Self realization & self actualization from a reality show on Bravo. Talk about getting pearls of wisdom from swine. Uproariously funny recap T.T. You have been delivering the goods for years but this recap is hysterical.
5150 hold?? seriously..I can’t believe Heather would not know what that means.. The criteria for a hold means You have to be a danger to self, danger others or gravely disabled. In California what Grave Disability means to a judge is that you don’t have the ability to feed yourself.
Heather knew. She is abominable. Fancy pants while the camera rolls but under the cover of darkness on the bus trip home she showed her true colors. She suffers from unbearably high self esteem.
The best part of the incredibly lame predictable and boring reunion was when Gina yelled “you are an open book of bullshit!!!” to Shannon. That was hilarious and true. Kelly made me crazy the way she was endlessly trying to provoke an outburst from Emily. My God, leave her alone. Kelly needed someone to threaten her the way Emily did during the season and then knock her ass out as TT said.
TT I cant find the picture or post of Tamra showing Sidney and Eddie unpacking… I am not that internet saavy 🙂 But did Sidney post any backlash or comment since Tamra posted a picture again??? after not communicating with her for months and ignoring her wishes ???
I believe the daughter in the photo is Sophia-not Sidney.
Oh ok, thanks for clarifying! I was hoping for Sidney’s sake that Tamra wasn’t disrespecting her wishes again!
Oh you are probably right. It was sent to me and I saw it as I was winding up the recap.
Worst season ever. So glad this group is done for now!
yes, this was a horrible season!!! reunion could have been one 1/2 hour show! all of them just screaming at each other and rehashing same old stuff! gina and kelly really need to go! gina way too young and stirs the pot to try and stay relevant! no story line at all. kelly continuely makes cruel, awful comments to people and then apoligizes — tired of all this. needs to shut down or new blood!!!
The first graf of this recap was better than anything on the boring show.
I was thinking how odd it is that Shannon and Dorinda both got lots of votes (either they each won, or one won and the other was runner-up) as Best Newcomer. And now they have denigrated to shrieking harridans almost all the time.
Shannon and Kelly are definitely assholes, but Tamra Judge is by far the biggest asshole on this show.
I am just getting the latest season on Hulu, and Part 3 of the reunion just cuts off, with no wrap up? It seems reading this recap they did have a “closing statements” type deal???
