Over the holidays I thought I would get views ask you some questions. đ Seriously, it is some downtime so I need to eat ask you things. I was trying to put up a poll. I’ve lost my poll option. My system keeps changing and I no longer see a link for that.
So let’s say you HAD to pick someone most like you on RHOC. Who would that be? I’ll ask you on the other shows throughout the week. But tonight you HAVE to be a RHOC.
I’m Kelly Dodd. Totally. Sexually inappropriate. Unable to have friends. But mostly just fine on my own. I’ll do anything for you. But if I get the slightest hit of betrayal or crossing me I’ll cut you the fuck of in a heartbeat. I have trust issues. I have a very smart mouth. I will strike before you know what is happening. I expect you to support me. I feel like I know why she is the way she is.
I am being real, you should be too. Your turn. You MUST pick a RHOC PERSON. We will do the rest over the holiday season.
Also, someone mentioned to me that there are ads in the comments now and they thought the comments were over. The facts are that two things happen in the fourth quarter. The payments for ads get better, but the views get lower because everyone is off doing things. So my ad agency sent me a new ad form to try to make up the difference. But just because you see an ad in comments doesn’t mean the comments are over. I’m just trying to pay my bills. xo ~tt
SO WHAT RHOCÂ ARE YOU? I was honest. Will You Be?
Fine, I get the Tamara Tattles Tribe may think they are above all these women BUT IF YOU WERE FORCED TO CHOOSE who are you most like?
I would have to say I am Kelly. I am outspoken and honest. I would like to think my delivery is better though. I wouldn’t want to be any of the others.
Sober control freak Heather Dubrow…. when I’m naked wasted Kelly Dodd.
Iâm only so far in. I just heard Briana tell us how she lost something like 60lbs on the keto diet. I think she calls herself an RN? Maybe an NP? I wouldnât let her take my BP let alone âdiagnoseâ anything!
Shannon with (whatever-catcher she has is sporting) one hell of a multi-rhinoplasty! If you ask nicely I have captured the awfulness she sports. Having had several myself I feel entitled to comment on women in higher income zip codes that have effed up many more times than I.
I don’t understand what that means. I am crying and begging a maid to come and I think she might.
Sadly, for me too. I don’t want to be Shannon but I am. Weird alternative healing modalities, deep identification for my (more superior than Shannon’s though ) musical roots, ability to pile on the pounds when emotionally catastrophized by a psychopath/ narcissist, loyalty to the point of nonsensical (that’s not a humble brag, that’s what gets you fat from the psychos and narcs ). I’d prefer to be Braunwyn or Emily, but I am Shannon.
Come on TT, is ANYONE really going to fess up to Vicki or Tamra? ?!!
Sorry I was literally begging a maid service to come to my house.
Iâve been using Amazon Home Services for my apartment cleaning. They do a really great job and the price is set in advance and very easy to schedule.
Not sure why you would say that. What do you know about her? The Keto diet works very well for epileptics. In many cases it is more of a medicinal diet than a weight loss one Why on earth would you belittle a medical professional who has been practicing for the length of this show and moved away to do it in private?
I love you Beets but this is a horrible thing to say. Briana is extremely qualified.
I guess I have a problem making an appointment with an MD and getting a nurse with a few more classes. At some point I will make an appt with an MD and see if I get an NP and call them out on the price difference? Not a fan of this new trend and I will never address a nurse practitioner as Doctor unless s/he has a DNP.
NPs and PAs are not Medical Doctors and shouldnât be addressed as such. They are called mid-level providers and become the norm thanks to Obamacare. Get used to them. And if you have health insurance now consider yourself lucky.
Doctors are now employees of hospitals and used for their licenses to employ the mid-level providers to do their jobs for cheaper. Your MD doesnât get paid enough to see you in an office setting anymore.
WTF! My best friend in the world is a NP and sheâs more qualified than most doctors. Sheâs been a LPN, RN, and NP now 20 years almost. I think most nurses are at times more tuned into patients. Idk what your original comment was because itâs gone but that NP comment really rubs me the wrong way. Iâm probably Tamra. There I said it.
I said nothing disparaging about nurses. I stated facts. I assure you that although nurses do probably have the best interpersonal skills with patients, they in no way have even close to the amount of education as a doctor. Thus, they are addressed by their respective titles. However, many nurses are making more money off a physicianâs license than the physician themselves.
But you did do a pretty good job of illustrating my point, so thanks for that. Perhaps you meant to reply to Beetsâ original comment instead?
Tammy sue indeed.
@Lisaj,
while I donât doubt that your friend is highly qualified, itâs unfair to say that sheâs more qualified than most doctors.
A Medical Doctor has an average of 12-20 (depending on specialty) years of post-high school education, not including board certification. I doubt that your friend has that kind of educational background before actually treating a patient under own licensure. And they have the student debt for each one of those years to go along with it.
This is why mid-level providers are more cost-efficient for hospitals and insurance companies to hire. Yet they are required to practice under a physicianâs license to write a prescription and if they screw up the blemish goes on the physicianâs license and is paid for by the eleventy billion dollar malpractice insurance that the physician is responsible for paying.
Sorry, hit a big nerve with me today!
Yes meant for beets. My friend has a combined 15 post education. Sheâs caught illness that several GPâs missed. I canât speak for all NPâs but Iâm happy to see an NP as much as an MD.
100%… My mother is an ER RN… By no means does she consider herself a MD… However, there have been multiple instances where she would make a suggestion to a Doc knowing full well that it was the better treatment option…
@Beets, if you are insistent on being seen by a Medical Doctor, I suggest you look into one that has gone into a âconciergeâ practice. It costs more, but it is a concept that many physicians have chosen so that they can actually see their patients. Otherwise, they are told by their employers (hospital systems) when, where and how to do their jobs.
If your going to CVS then yes you will probably get a NP who has a masters degree but legally , a doctor will oversee everything & sign off.
I agree. I think Brianna is smart and hardworking. She forged her own career path instead joining the family business and is raising two little boys too. Brianna might the most normal person on any of these franchises.
I have always loved Brianna. I think she is like alot of us here. Smart witty driven loving & happy. Would rather watch her & her family than these other women who form the cast of the O.C. If I had to pick a O.C housewife most like me I would say Lizzie ; nurturing Italian sweet natured & a Sophia Loren like vibe for days. Miss me some Lizzie !
Come on you have to be one of them PICK! It is only going to get harder. And I think i might have found someone who will clean my house.
I want to be Heather Dubrow but my life is more like Shannonâs. Very emotional divorce that took awhile to be me again. I am definitely not like any of the other OC housewives.
I HATE to admit it but I am a Vicki. I work all the time. I am a helicopter mom. I have a broken marriage. Then had an idiot boyfriend who only was with me for my money. I scream at people. I want everyone to love me but canât keep friendships because my ego is too big, yet I am so insecure about myself and my looks. I hurt people before they can hurt me.
Ditto ditto ditto
I honestly can’t really identify with any of them.
Can I mix Kelly and Vicki? I’m a workaholic like Vicki but all the rest is Kelly!! I started working from home like Vicki did and now am looking for office space, not sure why you would have to ask my boss LOL!
Iâm Heather Dubrow. Fancy pants with a stick up my ass sometimes. Mostly as a method of self protection. I use my exterior life as armor. That and some Kelly mixed in. I can lose it, too. And I have a potty mouth when Iâm angry.
I don’t tell other people’s secrets. It’s not my place. I likes dogs. I think I’m Archie
This is my favorite comment of the day!
????
Iâm probably a different one each day of the week. Like multiple personality disorder and you never know which one of them youâre gonna get, each one worse than the other. Today I think Iâm Brandi, but itâs early… I could be Tamra by noon.
Ha! đ
Lol love this comment and it goes well with your avatar ?
Oops. Itâs only 8am my time and Iâm already 50-50 Tamra and Vicki. Didnât even make it until noon. Probably going to be Kelly before this day is over! ?
I’m Vicki…hyper organized, want everyone to like me, I had a lover attempt to not pay off a loan, am a fierce protector of family, I need my love tank filled, I’d rather be around people than spend time alone but will cut a bitch like Kelly if I feel wronged.
Before I had children I was Shannon caring about kooky, silly things. But I think Iâve grown up to be Meghan king edmonds, a fierce mamma who puts her kids medical needs first now.
Iâm a Braunwyn minus the flock of children, I only have one but wished I could have more but lost my husband over 5 years ago. now Iâm 40 and in a same sex relationship. But Iâm very bi like her, blond and have a body sort of like her but not quite to her level of thin. Also her husband reminds me of my late, just a little metro, tall, dark and handsome minus the terrible necklaces lol and a good dad. Sheâs very nurturing with her kids and I really like that. I also sort of stick my foot in my mouth like her sometimes and am like a golden retriever and want to be friends with everyone. My mom is a total kooky pants like hers, covered in tattoos and piercings but not quite as emotionally unavailable, sheâs thankfully not to that level as burning man gma.
Kelly Dodd! I would have 100% had that train and a fiance in less than a yr
I try to think I am like Bronwyn, but I am really more of a Shannon. I am a nervous Nellie, and a hypochondriac, and I love animals, (I think she loves animals, she has the big doofy dog), and I like to have fun. I also wish I was friends with Jeff Lewis. Just not as skinny or as rich, and have no money for snake oil salesmen.
Emily. I try to stay out of drama and keep the peace. I’m working through my body issues. When I realize my friendship isn’t being reciprocated, I don’t necessarily cut the person off but I’ll keep a safe distance. I also stayed in a toxic relationship due to a combination of my insecurities and my boyfriend chipping away at my self esteem.
Iâm also Emily for these exact reasons! Iâm currently married to A Shane and I would totally only have one suitcase on a trip. Iâm a light packer to the extent of Sometimes not having everything I need. Iâm extremely independent and donât realize until too late how much distance I allow in my relationships, I am not needy and donât realize other people are
I’m Emily minus the jerk husband (mine thankfully is awesome).
Emily. I have a lot going for me but I date dudes who are resentful of me.
I’m an Emily most of the time but if I reach my boiling point I turn into a Kelly.
Iâd have to say Shannon as well if I had to pick from this cast. Iâm socially awkward, overly anxious and sensitive. Also I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt a few too many times.
Emily – Cautious, Bigger than the rest but donât really care, fun if you get through the wall but cautiousness can definitely be read as boring & very loyal to my friends. Add a touch of Shannonâs neurosis to make me complete.
I’m a Shannon. I can be blindly loyal to people I care about, I take things super seriously, but I love any excuse for a costume and when I let.loose, I really go for it. I also struggle with weight and being body positive and take little digs about my size very personal and if you cross me, it cuts deep, but I will get in your face and speak up for myself.
With this groupe i dont know who iam but i dont like Kelly maybe because she reminds me of me at my worst. I have this belife that when i dont like a housewife its because its traits that idont like in myself! So there that!
I pick Kelly but only because I find her the least insufferable. Actually Emily is more likeable but I don’t identify with her situation at all.
Iâm a mix….Kelly & Emily….yea Iâm Fâd up. Like Kelky, I have no patience w/stupid BS. If friends/people who Iâm loyal to are not loyal back, then stick a fork in me Iâm done because Iâd rather cut you out than deal w/your fake ass. I HATE fake people. I like people who are straight shooters. Tell me anything, but tell it to my face, donât sugar coat anything. Iâm an Emily where my husband is concerned. My kids have begged me to divorce him (heâs their father), but my dumbass is still here.
*Kelly
I’m either a Kelly-leaning Emily, or Kelly’s attitude with Emily’s neurosis’. Neither seems able to lie, or to put up with all the back-hand talk that is par for the course with Housewives. I’m just neither extreme, but 100% could be.
Except the whole kids thing. I stopped at zero.
I guess Iâm a mix of Emily and Vicki because I had a dick of an ex, Iâm a social butterfly, I want peace but if you come for my kid Iâll cut a bitch.
Itâs a toss up between Gina who I think is naive which I am sometimes, and Braunwyn who has 7 kids like me only mine are chihuahuas.
Reformed people pleaser table for one please! I’m a Gina I suppose, I work to be tough but go overboard and have to apologize sometimes. I still have the naivete with people, but I am working on letting those jerks go and being the bad ass I know I can be….yeah, Gina.
I think I am a bit Emily, I’m in the same profession as my husband but more successful, definitely run the household and most other aspects of my life. I love my food and to cook, but at times struggle with my weight, I’m an emotional eater. I think I have more self worth than Emily now though. I didn’t before when I was in a relationship with an arsehole, who made me doubt myself, but my husband doesn’t treat me like that. I can also be a little bit Heather Dubrow, I like champagne, traditional etiquette and can be a bit of a pedant.
Truth. I despise them all, but since you asked so nicely, I would say I can relate to Kelly rage. As I age, I like to think I am mellowing, but given the state of politics today, I admit there are some punchable faces in government Iâd like to have a go at sometime.
And I, too, am a big fan of loyalty. Fuck me over and you are dead to me. Unless weâre related. Then I will just ice your for an extended period. Sorry/not sorry.
I also despise being unjustly accused. That triggers my Italian/Irish heritage in unpleasant ways.
Hmmm. I sound like a real bitch. But I have a chewy center.
I think I’m more of an Emily with a tad of Vicki thrown into the mix. I’m too reserved to be Kelly. I refuse to be Tamra or Shannon, and Gina just makes me sad. So, Emily it is.
Are you questioning us or fixin’ to cannibalize us? To be safe I’d be the one that leaves the worst taste in your mouth.
Gina! With a little Shannon mixed in, unfortunately.
I’ll be the girl who ate the bow off Heather’s cake.
HA!
That is the best one so far! I have been trying to think an off OC reference all day, and failed to think of that.
This is the best!!!
Hysterical. Almost cried laughing so hard. Bow eater indeed !
Well Iâm definitely not Kelly because she said she wonât date black men, and I love all hot men. Iâm not Tamra because Iâm in tune with my emotions. Iâm in my early 30s with no kids so I canât be Braunwyn. Iâm loyal to my friends so not Gina. I have thick skin so not Shannon. I work super hard, but Iâd never be good at sales so I canât be Vicki. Iâm Emily.
None. I work. Doesnât anyone have a job. I work!
Teehee. I found myself not relating and thinking to myself…if I am ever like one of those housewives that would be the day for a sanity check.
How. I work. I donât have time! (Insert HW shrill). Yet, I also am not a narcissistic needy beast like the Vickster. Family van. Donât send one. I will hold my luggage on my lap in a small Prius if I have to. I work! Doesnât anyone work!
But honestly, I watch as a break from my life. It is so insane to me.
I hate to say it, but Im a Tamra. Ive had low points in my life; caused by the same issues. Single mom at 19. Ive dug through the dirt to get to the top of my personal mountain. Ive got more to go, and just like T, I dig deep and go for it, apologetically. #justabouttostartact2 I can admire her strength dealing with the pain with her daughter (although it seems like she brought it on herself- thats not parental alienation-).
AND LIKE TAMRA, I can call a spade a spade. Gurl, stop putting your fingers in everyones tea. Stop tearing people down because your still insecure AF. Yes, you got the hot bod, and the modded face, and round 3 boobs- your problem is that you feel small. GTFO it and grow. Ugh.
meh, i mean unapologetically. Baked one to many pies and drank one to many vodka tonics..
I’m Kelly Dodd too. Only difference being I wouldn’t go quite as low as she does with some of her blows. Since I don’t have children I can only embarrass my family. If I did have a kid though some of my Kelly behaviors would be…..modified
I’m back in HB visiting the family in the land of injectables, so I thought long and hard and I’m pretty much a mix. Seriosly the surfer girl thatvtook my order at the taco place had duck lips, wtf why!! So I l’m a little Kelly because I can be a real dick if you cross me. Maybe in my youth I was a Tamra with friends I was a bit of a shit stirrer, but at this point ehhh. But I take a nod back to good ole Laurie and I love my husband and dogs. Wait gotta add in Emily, because of the mormon thing in hubby’s family, this is what the fun flask is for!!! But I would ultimately chose Briana, my favorite kid, that loves her family, level headed, works, moved away to find peace, she’s my unicorn. Happy Thanksgiving everyone, stay safe and full!
I’m Kimberly Bryant, I got my ass outta there!
Referring to both OC the location and the show.
I am a combo of Kelly and Emily. I am sweet and loving and love to feed people good food but wrong me and itâs all over. I will verbally gut you, I really try not to do that anymore, I am getting better about that but I can be so nasty and vicious when hurt or angry.
I was Kelly back in the day. Now IDGAF
Like Emily I lie to myself about how relationships will get better if only I love that person more. I choose men who will never, ever reach their full potential and smother them with my superior accomplishments. I enable friends like Gina, not understanding occasional distance can be mutually beneficial. I am a true victim of my own lack of self awareness. I am always looking for an underdog to protect. I run from my equals. I am most comfortable when Iâm being used by others. Soon I hope to learn how to help and change only myself.
I am Erika. I am eating my pumpkin pie with whipped cream.for breakfast. I’m not into girlfriends
But if my social anxiety eases, I love being/having friends. I’m married/divorced to an older man. I have a great son. That is about it,lol. Totally it!
You canât be Erika! You are NOT cunty! And I cannot picture you patting the puss! Lol!
She is rich and beautiful though. And she has a chapel!
I think Iâm a cross between between Brauwyn and Kelly. Iâd never yell at anyone though. I get calmer and more calculated as I get angry. But I get Kelly. I donât have a giant brood of kids like Braunwyn but Iâm that mom who watches her 18 year old leave the drive way and only walk away from the window when her taillights fade away.
I can see myself in more than one of these ladies, possibly all, if I extracted micro parts of each.
For lack of better terminology, I will pare down, and say I am a âTres Mashup of Kelly, Vicki, and Emily.
I identify with these three the most for the most predominant reasons/circumstances in my life, but can not exclude all other cast members as I relate on some of level with each of them as well.
Life is unscripted, unkind, unforgiving, unreal.
Time for this female to stop trying to figure out the unwanted and unexplained, and move on.
Hereâs to âWhooping It Upâ and moving forward!
Onward and upward!
~Cheers
Kelly, because I think this is a dumb ass post and the responses are equally lame.
I actually think itâs a fun and cute little game that gives us more insight to each otherâs personalities. But itâs a free country so you do you, boo. Itâs not necessary to shit on others though. IJS. Have a Miracle day! ?
I was channeling Kelly. Sheâd say exactly that. Just a joke.
Well now that you explained it, thatâs actually pretty funny! Iâve been kind of a Kelly myself after my thanksgiving hell. Things are looking up though. Sorry if I sounded like a bitch. Mea culpa. I am at least aware that Iâm a bitch this week and not so bad that I canât apologize when Iâm wrong. ?
LOL I thought KD was having a bad day.
I would say I was Tamra for the first hard 15 years , raising my kids , divorced, blew thew 2 more relationships because I have a bad man picker and use to drink on the weekends, take fabulous trips have wild sex & .work 60+ hrs a week. Then I became a Brauwyn my SO picked me, together we have a total of 8 kids ( 29-11) I rarely drink due to some meds I have to take and Iâm a stay at home mom now. The two youngest have AdHD anxiety and the 11 year old got diagnosed with bio polar w/ manic. My life is is full of chaos and love now and I couldnât be happier.
I am not a housewife but I am most like a cast member. Shannon’s golden retriever Archie. I am loyal, good natured, truly happiest when those I love are happy and sick and tired of hearing these crazy bitches shriek at the top of their lungs!
