For those of you “still on the RHOC Train” here is a place to discuss tonight’s show. This is the official show description.
Kelly invests in a new business and goes to a Wellness Expo to practice her pitch; Gina meets with a new lawyer about her DUI; the ladies travel to a wellness resort in Arizona; at a sound bath, Kelly bonks Shannon over the head.
#TeamKelly
I have opted to dye my hair and check out ‘The Only Way is Essex’ from across the pond and not regret wasting an hour watching that shitshow… đ
Ooo! Planning to watch that after “Derry Girls”
Made in Chelsea is better than TOWIE!
I have done a 180-degree turn on Emily. I was prepared to like her the first season, but the more despicable Shane is, the more I question Emily’s judgement and motives!! He’s not a handsome smooth-talking Don Juan who seduced her into marrying him. We see how unlikely it was that she had a crush on him when she accepted his proposal on Google Chat.
So they had been friends for years, had never dated nor kissed, but she accepted him marriage proposal via chat???? Why?? The only reasons I can think of are because 1)He is independently wealthy and/or 2) He talks down to her which feels like love to her damaged self from a screwed-up mother-child relationship.
The people saying Emily is perfection and can do better need to ask themselves WHY she ever married him in the first place? She knew the bargain she was making. He is exactly the same person and hasn’t/can’t change (as evidenced by him not ever being able to play nice while on camera).She is the one signing up for a reality show and hoping to make a sows ear into a silk purse, or at least fake a perfect family.
I think Emily married him because her biological clock was ticking.
Did she say that they had one of those “if we don’t find someone else by X age we will get married” kind of deals?
I don’t know, but he had been married and had a child previously, so he wasn’t a lifelong/confirmed bachelor when he married Emily. The fact that his oldest daughter just entered Bringham Young makes me wonder if his ex-wife was Mormon as well.
Why would Emily and Shane both consent to be on this reality show? It’s mind blowing.
Yes, it blows my mind too! Also why Teresa and Joe Giudice would film while committing mortgage and bankruptcy frauds. And Gina (O.C.) while her marriage is crumbling. Many of the marriages were in serious trouble before filming began~ Shannon and David, Camille and Kelsey, Vicki and Don.
I personally think that Gina thought that by having cameras around the abuse would stop.
I don’t think it’s any of my business why Emily married Shane. It’s hard enough to figure out the marriages of the people I know, most don’t seem that compatible or happy. I wouldn’t pretend I knew enough about someone’s marriage from a few scripted hours on the telly.
What about from knowing 1) they had NEVER been on a date??? and 2) They had never KISSED? or 3) they had never held hands????? Do you think these 3 huge clues might signify there was ZERO romance? We’re not reading some tiny hints here; these are real, admitted facts about their “courtship”. I doubt your friendship group has such transactional relationships (unless you live in a brothel).
Ouch!
Gina is enjoying attention from the “popular” girls and is throwing Emily under the bus. Not cool. Shane looks like he had a makeover…..but for whom? And I could watch Emily, Kelly, and Braunwyn together all the time. Keep those 3. Get rid of the rest.
I was a little surprised by Braunwyn’s weird photo shoot with the butler. I kind of think that was scripted into the show. No sane woman would ask a strange man to photograph them standing on the piano and on the furniture. Also, any normal hotel employee would have said “sorry Ma’am you can’t get up on the piano like that!”
My sister does shit like that, she thinks she’s a model and everyone around is her personal photographer!
Tamra and Shannon are the reason why this needs to be the last season. Really, swelling on the brain, Tamra?? STFU! Gina has a serious drinking problem and needs to quit the show and get her life together before she loses her kids. Emily needs to divorce Shane. It has been nice without Vicki.
Shane detests Emily. He was not great last season but this season is next level. His hatred for Emily is so obvious and she is clearly trying to do damage control, but his lack of respect is so sad. I have questioned his marriage/ gender preferences from their first season and the current season is confirming it all.
I couldn’t agree more. He seems to dislike her completely. There isn’t one moment of kindness from him that would make me think we just aren’t seeing the real them. This is the real them. Emily is desperate to make her marriage work, and Shane can’t stand her. That’s all there is to it.
I’ve often wondered if he isn’t heterosexual, and he found Emily, a woman desperate enough to marry whichever man asks regardless of having never gone on one date with him, to marry and be his beard. He treats their marriage like a business transaction. She gets the kids, and he gets to convince people he’s straight.
When she wanted more kids, it seemed he felt that wasn’t part of the transaction. Her services were worth the amount of kids they have thus far to him, but not one more. She was pushing the limits of their business transaction just as she is now by asking him to be kind to her. He doesn’t feel what she’s doing for him warrants his kindness.
I’m still sticking with my first opinion that the show needed to a recast.
At least get rid of (please!) Tamra, Shannon and Kelly after this season (I realize this is likely not a possibility) then the entire toxic old guard will be gone.
Emily: I love you!
Shane: Itâs a bad connection.
Probably the most honest discussion theyâve ever had.
While watching this crap show I discovered the freezer full of meat in my basement died probably 2+ weeks ago. Not sure which stench is worse.
It may be close … but Shannonâs concussion REALLY stinks, so I hope the meat isnât as bad. Especially on the preview where Kelly calls it out that if Shannon did have a concussion, she would not have been drinking. TRUE! That is on the printed list of doâs and donâts. AND what they tell the person with you. (Even I didnât drink. But I did get good pain pills. 1970s.)
Okay, I watched the entire episode, so Iâll volunteer to do a full recap for anyone whoâs interested. Emily took Braunwyn to Vegas with her. The suite that they stayed in at the Westgate was insane. 15,000 SF with a pool and spa in it, plus I believe two butlers to wait on them hand and foot! Braunwyn not only had one of the butlers make her drinks, but she had him snap pictures of her while she posed in her teeny little bikini all over the place, including on top of the piano. That scene was just ridiculous. When Emily called Shane to tell him about the incredible suite, he responded that heâd better not get a bill, and then claimed that they had a bad connection. I really hate that little twerp. Emilyâs in-laws also came to Vegas to see her in the show and help her celebrate her ten year wedding anniversary to their son. How did such cool parents raise such a douche bag son? When Emily was practicing her routine on stage with the other women, she struggled with the sexy hip moves. One woman said to think of sex. The expression on Emilyâs face was very telling. She asked if she could think of tacos and carnitas instead and she pulled some sexy moves that had the group roaring with approval. I bet Shane is the type of man she runs to the bathroom to take a shower the second he is done having sex. Emily looked pretty good in her sexy outfit. She messed up the dance a little, but they only showed about five seconds of her dancing. When she later said to the girls that she messed up, Braunwyn said âyeah, you did, but you looked good anyway.â After the show is over and the ladies return to the suite, SURPRISE! Shane shows up with a huge bouquet of flowers for Emily! I guess heâll can freeze over and pigs do fly! Emily said some stuff about the two of them modeling happiness and positive behavior as a couple to their kids, and Shane actually listened and agreed. He even gave her a smooch! If only she had shut up then and enjoyed the moment. Instead, she kept on harping at him about everything. I almost felt sorry for him. Heâd just done something nice and even romantic, and even let her talk and seemed to really hear her and agree. The fact that she couldnât stop talking at him gave a bit more insight into their marital dynamics that all the previous editing never showed.
Gina went to get some âBoBoâ, her ridiculous baby talk word for Botox, with Tamra and Tamraâs Mom. There she proceeded to shit all over Emily, trashing her for doing her show in Vegas. She told the other women that Emily desperately wanted Shane to see the show and to love it, but if he couldnât be there then âlet me do it for your dad!â Trashy Tamra chimed in âHappy Anniversary babe, I have your dad a boner!â Tamraâs mom just sat there with her mouth hanging open. The editing during this scene was grotesque, with clips of Emily in her sexy costume and her father in law with a huge smile on his face. I felt dirty watching it. Gina said that Emily was trying to push her to go to Vegas against her wishes, and that she wasnât being a good friend. I say itâs Gina whoâs not being a good friend, gossiping about Gina the way she is just so she can get in with those she considers the âinâ crowd.
As soon as they got to the beautiful Miraval Resort in Arizona, Kelley started acting like a pubescent middle school boy.there was a beautiful gong outside where they got off of their bus and she would not stop making jokes about âdongsâ. The woman who greeted them was not amused and neither was Shannon. Shannon asked Kelly to stop with the ânegative energyâ, but Kelly wasnât having it. Later while doing an exercise with some of the retreat staff, Shannon was standing in a large metal bowl with another smaller one on her head (donât ask!) as the staff tapped on them gently with mallets. Kelly decided it would be funny to take one of the mallets and whack Shannon on the head. Shannon didnât react. She didnât say anything at all until someone mentioned that it was Kelly who hit the hard whack. Suddenly she had a pounding headache and blurry vision. Tamra made things worse by telling a story about her ex hitting his head once and developing a cerebral spinal fluid leak. She kept talking about brain bleeds and concussions. She took Shannon to the ER, where the episode ends with Shannon being asked by hospital staff if she wants to press charges since she was âassaulted.â
It looks like next week will be an all out brawl, with Shannon claiming that Kelly gave her a mild concussion, and Kelly telling her that she is full of shit, and Emily and Gina going at each other. As much as Iâd love to see Emily kick Ginaâs ass, I donât think I can take anymore of this show with Tamra on it. She is downright repulsive.
It is 2:49am, I am in bed reading your comment and my 4 pound Yorkie looks concerned as to why I am laughing. Almost to the point of crying. Shannon was assaulted????? âShe took Shannon to the ER, where the episode ends with Shannon being asked by hospital staff if she wants to press charges since she was âassaulted.ââ
Isnt it ridiculous? I donât know if it was a medical professional or someone else asking the question since the person was off camera. You just know that Shannon the drama queen and Tamra the pot stirrer extraordinaire will make a huge deal out of that remark!
I can’t understand why Gina is turning on Emily. All Gina had to do was fully explain it wouldn’t look good if she went to Vegas in the middle of her legal issues. Instead, Gina felt Emily should read her mind.
When Gina cried on her sofa, Emily consoled her. She reinforced she would accept her no matter what, although she DID acknowledge Gina’s judgement was poor in getting a DWI. Then in return Gina cuts Emily no breaks and complains how inappropriate it was of Emily to invite her to Vegas in the first place. Geez Gina get a grip…Emily simply asked you to watch her show – she didn’t invite you to go on a wild binge-drinking, drug-fueled weekend.
I really like Gina but she isnât being a good friend at all. She keeps bringing up how Emily isnât giving her the daily check-in call. Yes, Gina. Itâs because Emily is also falling apart, so she canât continue to prop you up while every conversation is focused on you. Emily is having a bad year too.
100% this
Emily, like all of the other housewives, is self-absorbed. That’s why they get cast. When
Gina laments that she could have been arrested in front of her kids, Emily turns focus onto herself and how HER KIDS saw her get in an ambulance.
I know TT is not recapping the OC for every good reason but your impromptu recap MMary was smart, in good form and on brand with this site in my opinion, thank you. That TT places a space for us fools to continue commenting is beyond sweet! Have you approached Tamara to fill in and write a few recaps, not necessarily OC, she has openly encouraged guest recaps since I’ve been following…just a suggestion, hope no toes are stepped on, luv u TT!
I should add I haven’t watched OC since I read TT”s recap, episode 2?
What a recap of this season?
Itâs all Vickiâs fault. Even though Tamera outed the Train rumor about KD. It looked like Vicki would be dragged all season by Kelly Dodd & the story line would be similar to Tamara dragging Vicki one season for saying her husband was gay, but it looks like Kelly Dodd will be this seasonâs villain. Shannon is all about doing whatever Tamera wants her to. Imho Tamera & Shannon want to be co-queens if the RHOOC.
Every year Tamera has to invent a storyline to stay. One year itâs Brooks & the next Jesus. Eddieâs heart was last yearâs storyline & this year its dragging Kelly Dodd.
This franchise lost its âclassâ when Tamera came on board.
Her desperate attention seeking behavior is obvious & only gets worse.
Blahđ¤˘
Thanks for the kind words Kipper! I was nervous offering a recap, but I feel so guilty for still watching this nasty show that I did it as a form of penance!
I’m so glad you did, whether for penance or for fun, ha!
Tamra was disgusting â as usual â talking about Emilyâs in-laws who showed up to support her.
Shannon BARELY flinched when Kelly hit the bowl. Suddenly itâs a concussion. I donât believe it. (It didnât look like a very hard hit from my view.)
Shane showing up in Vegas was sweet. If only Emily would have stopped talking. The problems in that relationship are NOT all Shane.
Persussion perhaps?
hee hee
Oh … thatâs right… Vicki wasnât there to go to the hospital on this trip. Letâs see if Shannon covers her face with a towel on the way out.
I refuse to watch. I have wanted Vicki gone for a very long time. Even as a friend of she has more and more camera time. Tamra, like Vicki, is the crap whisperer. In someone’s ear making a mountain out of a mole hill. Shannon seems to forget she been more than crazy and still is. Of course here Tamra apparently goes and talks bad about her ex. While he remains silent. She is insufferable.
I agree. Vicki and Tamra are both vile!
Vicki makes up horrible things and says she’s justified because “she called me fat.” She lies and lies!
She’s never faced the lies she told about Brooks’ cancer. She just shut it down saying she was lied to too. But her lying was beyond passing on Brooks’ lies! She claimed she sat with him during chemo and that she had a notebook full of his medical information. She and Brooks were hawking natural juices as a cancer cure.
Thank you Sunshine! That is my problem with Vicki, she double-down on the lie and therefore her now trying to say she had no part of it is ridiculous. It just proves what a nasty human she is.
Ladies, you are disappointing me. I refuse to watch the show, but have seen the gong hit during commercials during all the other Bravo shows I watch. Not one of you made a joke about the gong show! lol
On last nightâs WWHL, guests were Eileen Davidson and actress and author June Diane Raphael. Raphael was hawking her new book, âRepresent,â about inspiring women to run for office.
Eileen was a class act, as usual. I will NOT be buying Raphaelâs book. Who would after this:
Asked: Do you think there is any truth to the train rumor about Kelly and who do you blame for spreading it, Vicki or Tamra?
Her answer: Tamra, of course. And of course there is truth to it. And thatâs OK. Iâd love to be on the train at some point in my life. It doesnât sound that bad.
It was NOT a tongue-in-cheek answer. She either is confused by the difference between a threesome and a train, or she is a masochistic, nymphomaniac idiot. (Not judging much.)
She’s confused and so is Kelly. They don’t get it
I watched WWHL today. Eileen is such a class act! She’s so beautiful, soft spoken, kind, yet fun, has a sense of humor and I imagine she’s seen “it all”!
I love “Grace and Frankie”, huge fan but I’d never buy a book about “How to run for political office female version for dummies” from that woman! Wow, talk about cringing! She wrote a soft sided book on how to “represent”? I’m with TT, I’m glad I’m going to be dead soon, Lord help us!
We should start a club of Leaving and Having Fun or the Almost Outta Hereâs or something more clever.
Fucking apostrophe adding autofux. One of my pet peeves. In addition to people saying squashed a rumor instead of quashed. Shannon says quashed đ.
Kelly is low class trash.
Kelly is so annoying and immature. I wanted to punch her. Doesn’t she think about what she says and how it will affect her daughter? Constant talk about how she got banged? Total trash. Gina was only friends with Emily because no one else wanted the job. As soon as Shannon turned, she dumped her. Aweful women, all of them. Shannon isn’t mean but boy is she high maintenance
I think she actually thinks sheâs being funny. Though funny in small doses, that kind of humor gets annoying and comes off as trying too hard. Thereâs a time and place for everything, this was neither the time nor the place…but she has no tact and doesnât understand that concept.
I have a theory, Kelly is so blatantly mean, production gave her a bad edit and encouraged big mouth to run with the train story. Otherwise I can see the cast split off which Braunwyn better get on the right side of or she’ll be out. Just not seeing Emily fitting in. Omg Sannon is at it again with the entitled cry baby, ugh.
I think Kelly has a low IQ. She memorizes “old man” jokes that made her laugh and tosses them out instead of having to be witty on the spot. (e.g. when someone trips she says “See you in the fall.”) and she has a VERY immature sense of humor with a lot of physical prodding. Remember her hitting the chins on her friends in Ireland. What adult thinks that’s funny?
I was editing my DVR schedule and saw that in two weeks âVicki unleashes another rumor about Kelly.â She just CANâT SEEM to help herself.
