RHOC Recap: Whooping It Up For Wedding Bells!

December 18, 2019 by tamaratattles 38 Comments

RHOC RecapOkay, let’s get this RHOC Recap done. It’s the finale and today is the first part of the reunion. I’ll get to that on Friday because TONIGHT IS THE SURVIVOR FINALE and that is pretty much all I am focused on at the moment. In other news, I am PISSED about The Voice winner. I won’t spoil it here and neither should you because people are saving episodes here. But it was not my first or even second choice. That said they were all great.

Shannon is seeing a guy that hooked up with Tammy from season one? His name is Duff. He’s cute and clearly the TOM of RHOOC now. He also used to work with Vicki. He is cocky and I kind of like him. Wait he is a bit sexually forward. So perhaps not so much.

Emily comes to see Gina and help her get all her stuff packed so she can move. Wow, lot of Shade on Shane. I guess he deserves it. Gina is back in love with Matt. For now. It’s sad. Emily knows better.

Namaste

Braunwyn and her mom are doing some weirdo yoga in her back yard. I have to say the music is rather relaxing. And they don’t seem to be doing serious yoga, which is WAY HARD so it is my kind of yoga.  I used to live on Saint Simons Island and went to sort of fancy yoga classes back when I was still limber and a lot smaller. There was an 80 year old woman in my yoga class who was better than me. I actually miss those classes. Also, all of us fat assesses need to resolve to stop paying Planet Fitness ten dollars a month on our credit cards when we haven’t been in ten years. Or maybe that is just me.

Emily is diagnosed with arthritis. Her little girl is adorable. I am so grateful not to have chronic pain. Emily needs a hip replacement. Of course she does. When you go to an orthopedic surgeon you will be told you need surgery if you have good insurance. She calls Shane and he isn’t particularly sympathetic.

Kelly Plans To Kill Them With Kindness

Remember last week when the requisite realty TV shrink solved all of Kelly Dodd’s anger issues with a single mantra? Well she is planning on using them at Vicki’s engagement party. AKA the final cast party of the season where everyone brawls. This should go well. Oh and in case you missed it the RHOC are brawling on Twitter well after the reunion was filmed.

When I think of Orange County, I don’t think of hoe downs. And yet, here we are. I do know that Vicki and Steve love country music, so I guess it makes sense. P.S. The underlined text in these posts are link to related stories. I’m always amazed some people do not know that. Also, the black box at the top of every page is a link station to help you find the tea on all your favorite shows. I should probably mention that more often. Also the right panel has a search box and if you enter things like “Sheree Whitfield Court” you will be regaled with stories about the time Sheree dragged me to court across two counties and lost both times and my gentle readers at the time helped pay court costs. Because cause I was just a wee site back then.

Is This A Wig?

The part is at the Coto Country club and it is really beautiful. I would never in a million years ask anyone if their hair was a wig or a weave or their natural hair. That’s none of my business. But Vicki asks Dr. Deb about her hair and she says she has dreads with yarn weaved in. Dr. Deb is really pretty, in my opinion.

Shannon’s date, Duff shows up and apparently Vicki and Tamra are good with it. Tamra is hot to trot for Kelly since she is paying lawyers to defend herself against ole what’s his name. Then the ladies practice some sort of boot scoot boogie. Other than having sex in broad daylight on a county club golf course (same guy I went to Key West with. And I’m not entirely sure we made it to Key West.) And that one and final time my sister took me golfing and I made a divot on the green I’m not all that familiar with country clubs. But this just doesn’t seem to fit the bill. This seems like the white people version of the electric slide?

Vicki’s Brother Is NOT ALL IN

Vicki’s brother doesn’t really believe that Steve even wants to marry Vicki. Um, Billy…. It’s what saved her job! They are being paid to get married by Bravo! Billy says Steve’s mom says that Steve and Vicki do not mesh at all. Kelly arrives looking horrible. WTF is she wearing? I usually think she looks good in anything but this is not a good look at all! She looks like Pocahontas Barbie with slutty barbie clothes on and some random brown scarf around her waist.

I realize that Shane passing the bar is a big deal but it is EXTREMELY rude of Emily to decide to check for the results on camera. And no he did not pass in February when this was filmed and no he did not pass in July when he tried again. California’s bar is one of the most difficult to pass in the country. He’s not an idiot IIFC he passed in Utah. Don’t be such a dick to Shane, Emily.


Vision Boards And Shots!

The Tres Amigas get drunk and want to mess with Kelly. Because, drunk bitches. Tamra and Shannon are furious that she got involved in their lawsuits with Jim Bellino. Shannon catches her hair on fire on a candle. I’ve caught my hair on fire before. I was a senior in high school and a freshman in college in the same year.

CLICK HERE FOR MORE RHOC RECAPS!

I was sort of an outcast in high school but VERY POPULAR at at the college. It was the weirdest thing. I hooked up with this guy and he and his friends would smoke pot in the arborarium (spell check says that is not a word but we had all these trees that were labeled for like, I dunno tree people. ) I don’t smoke pot but I did drink and that was happening too and I drunkenly decided to lit a small joint which resulted in me burning up half my hair while potheads tried to put it out by repeatedly slapping me. Burnt hair smells horrible by the way.  Moving on….

Tamra’s Usual Meltdown

It wouldn’t be an RHOC finale without Tamra losing her shit and running off. So here it comes. Tamra is drunk as fuck and freaking out for no damn reason. Tamra goes after Gina for no reason other than Tequila. It’s retarded.

CLICK HERE FOR MORE RHOC RECAPS!

And Shannon and Tamra both went on a podcast and allegedly defamed Jim Bellino. I don’t know  what is true and what is not but Jim ended up having to pay Shannon’s attorneys fees after the case was dropped. I don’t know how the Tamra case ended. Kelly should not have said anything, but I thought the solved this in Key West. Braunwyn lashes out at Kelly too. Gina needs to shave her head and start over. She’s over processed it way too much. Meanwhile she is trying to deal with Tamra who was way overserved.

Here is a look at tonight’s reunion…

    Thank you TT!
    I think Gina and Braunwynn appear to have the impression of being the main cast members.. It’s weird, as Gina would say, but she is coming across very comfortable, B raunwynn and her hubby seems as if he’s a owner or something
    Seems really involved Maybe it’s me.but I have the impression that they feel like it is going to be their show. Hmmm.
    Tamra can stay face first in the bushes, that is fine.. c
    Again, thanks for the recap, TT!

    Thank you for the recap!

    I think you were looking for the word “arboretum”. We had a place like that when I was at boarding school and when we went to sneak cigarettes there we called it “going bird watching”.

    I only watched half of this season because I’m pretty tired of the screeching. I’m grateful I could just read about it all here. Emily is currently my favorite especially after her recent tweets haha!

    I can’t stand Vicki. I am sooo tired of her screaming. And drunk Tamra is a close second. Sigh. I usually love reunion shows but that clip showed all the stuff I hate the most. I’ll watch anyway. Being primed for the hate by watching the impeachment statements by the lying liars who lie. And Emily and Shane…oy. She is so angry at him that he can do nothing right, and he is a fucking douchebag. I would run far away from that marriage if I were either one of them. Or commit to some dep therapy for a long time. On that phone call, I really didn’t find Shane’s first response all that wrong. He said she put it off way too long. Poor victim Emily as he didn’t respond the way she wanted. So much material for therapy! I’ve been there, I know.

      Okay, I just reread my post and I want to apologize for negative bitching in the extreme. I do love this site. Chalk it up to the politics of the day combined with my car being totaled after an accident last week and turning another decade older recently. Combined with two trips to Los Angeles this month to celebrate stuff. It’s not all bad, but it’s a lot. I will be working on being more positive.

        I — and lots of others here — enjoy the fuck out of intelligent and/or funny snark. Even downer stories told with dark humor, like yours. (I’ve not SEEN Tamara get PO’d over the “downer” stuff unless she asks for no “Rainbow Bridge” or “parathyroid” or “cat takeover” comments in a specific post.) Sorry about your car and your landmark birthday (better than the alternative, I hope).

      Deb, I agree with you about Emily and Shane’s marriage. Emily sets him up to be an ass most times, at least she does on the show. I have been married a long time to a wonderful man that is sometimes an asshole. I avoid the asshole parts. (ha!) Why go there. For example, we can not agree on politics, so we just don’t talk politics. Shane is not a sympathetic guy, why call him for sympathy, then be mad at him for not offering any. I don’t get it.

      There was a creepy creepy scene with Emily and Shane and I wondered if anyone else caught it. Emily asked Shane to dance with her and he refused but he said “ my dad will dance with you” and the camera zoomed in on his father who had a creepy AF expression on his face and I literally shivered…ewww… bad… run away. I think those two men are beyond weird. Just my little ol opinion.

    Does anyone else remember Heather Dubrow throwing her western themed groundbreaking party party for her new house? The one where Shannon got jealous because David was ignoring her and doing shots with Meghan who wasn’t even on the show yet…anyway, when I saw that it was a western theme party that Shannon was throwing last night first I was kind of surprised that she agreed to that theme and then I was pleasantly surprised (at least that we saw) that she didn’t make it all about her and her bad memories of western parties.

      Who could forget that infamous ground-breaking party? That was the one where one Housewife got on the mechanical bull and another Housewife had the guy “turn it up” to get said Housewife thrown off of it. Wasn’t it eons before we heard the end of that one?

        Yes That’s right, thank you!! Wasn’t it Terry Dubrow who said something like spread them or ride that thing and turn it up and then Shannon wanted him to apologize to David or some crap like that? I’m seriously so surprised we didn’t have to relive all that last night. I was sure we were being set up for it.

          I think it was David who said something to Heather when she was on the bull, then a few episodes later at a dinner party, Terry told David off about it and made him apologize. Terry said David’s actions were like someone who is a construction worker.

          I think?

              I remember bits and pieces like you. David owned a construction company, so Terry was putting people like him down. No one in the world could be classy enough for Heather and Terry! I mean, who could ever forget when Sarah ate the bow off their cake! lol They were snobs, but they were funny and entertaining.

    Tres Amigas need to realize that perhaps the day has come where they are not age appropriate to be wasted and it’s not funny. I get embarrassed for them. I just try to imagine being at one of these places (I grew up in southern California, they go to a lot of familiar places) and seeing three grown women falling down, screaming, and fighting. The fighting I would enjoy but besides that, these places are not those places.
    They were in Del Mar and went in screaming to a familiar old stomping ground that NEVER can I see that being no big deal. It’s not cute if that is the intention?
    I think they are angry because they are aging. Tamra has hit the ceiling on how much she can do. She looks fine, but she is aging, it happens. Acting a fool won’t slow the process. Kind of sad for her.
    I don’t know if i can watch a predictable reunion, again. The whole season will be repeated again and again and again. Reunions need to go.

      Hey. I am 55 years old and love to pack away some booze but these ladies were wayyyyy beyond shitfaced… like mixing booze with prescriptions … and came off as mentally ill and unhinged. Not a good look. Especially if you’re fighting a lawsuit regarding slander! They looked irresponsible and ridiculous. Vicki needs to rewind and watch Steve’s reaction to everything…. or lack thereof. He didn’t give a tinker’s dam about any of it. Those ladies looked like there were freshmen girls at their first frat party after an SEC football game. A big mess. I was embarrassed for them and that takes A LOT. Not sure about watching this show anymore. It made me feel bad. I don’t find that behavior entertaining anymore. Perhaps I was the one who needed to grow up.

      Agreed. The Tres Amigas are desperate to try and prop up this sinking, stinking garbage barge but the only thing they know to do is drink, scream and fall down. When they were in Key West and pulling a Jessica Simpson by pretending to not know if Hemingway was still alive, I was truly embarrassed for myself for watching them. If these 50+ women think it will endear us to them by acting dumb and illiterate, it won’t work for this viewer who has been with them since Season 1/Episode 1. No reunion and no next year. In housewife lingo, “I’m done.”
      P.S. Thank you TT, for your recaps and stories.

    Tamra dipping it low at the engagement party was so pathetic and thirsty. I kind of felt sorry for her doing the most to be the “hottest housewife” as my side eye rolled so far, my eyeballs practically did a 360 in their sockets.

    I hope Kelly and Emily run circles around the the tres amigas at the reunion.

    Andy was on Jeff’s radio and he commented that there are some good people waiting to be on RHOC after Jeff said everyone needs to go except Shannon and Kelly. It was nice to see Dr. Ashkenaze. I had surgery with him too and he did wonders for me. I hope Emily does well after her surgery too.

    What a disgusting show. Tamra looks a decade older when she screams, so she really needs to stop. Who acts like this at their age? No one. I didn’t watch most of the season, but caught the finale last night.

    Hands down, Tamra is the worst person on the show, maybe the world!

    I remember Tammy’s ex, he was cute then, creepy now, glad Shannon isn’t with him.

    I think Bravo knows they need to recast this mess.

    I ADORE HARRY HAMLIN! Watching Hamlin and Shannon on WWHL was really a hoot! He is so deadpan funny every time I see him but last night he made me laugh the hardest when Andy ran the clip of Tamra in the bushes. Andy asked him what he thought about the clip — I think he meant her level of drunkenness — and he quipped, “I thought maybe Tanra wanted to be a gardener.”

    Las Tres Desperadas are SO THIRSTY. I think they think they are remaining relevant. But they just look stupid and desperate. BORING. Tamra’s dancing was worse than LuAnn’s singing.

    Hi. Great recap TT. Don’t know where to begin but I’ll just say that I watched the reunion with my mouth hanging open the way my cats do after they smell something “unusual.” How utterly embarrassing for their family members watching their mothers act like this. “It’s MY SHOW!” Vicki screamed about 10 times. No, it’s not your show. You have just been desperate enough to stay on it for 15 years. What does Steve see in her? Does anyone know? Is she paying him to stick around because NOTHING is worth having that shrew around. Not to mention but here I go: her face looks horrid. They ALL need to stop with the fillers and surgeries. Dear God, Tamra with that rat face screaming and the fake crying. Why doesn’t she produce tears? Is this the end result of being a dried up, washed up mess? She’s an alcoholic and Eddie is co-dependent. And we wonder why Ryan is messed up and her own daughter disowned her… I need to watch a good comedy after that shit show of a reunion…

    I watched this on On Demand. It was a reminder why I didn’t watch last season. Vicki is the equivalent of nails on a chalkboard for me. I cannot stand that squawking screech. I am over her high and mightiness. I’m not crazy about Tamra, yet I would be ok with her and Shannon both if they were hanging with the new cast members vs Vicki. That whole tree amigos BS makes me want to hurl. Literally, when I hear tres amigos or woohoo I cringe. I watched this season, somewhat, to give it a chance with less Vicki. I won’t watch next season if Vicki is back. There is nothing entertaining to me about the tres amigos. I think the Real Housewives franchise should aim to be more Kyle Richards less Vicki Gunvalson. I want to see some fabulous lifestyles. I could go to any of our local dives and watch menopausal women act like F’n fools, and I’m not knocking the age as I hit 50 last yr myself.

    Why do I feel like some people are not even reading the entire posts of TT’s and STILL not reading the commenting rules? Name calling instead of using proper names with the exception of the occasional moose reference is confusing. Especially name calling based on appearance is just unnecessary. If you’re new to site, or have not availed yourself of the rules she constantly has to remind people of, they are located on the menu bar and are a fun read! Please go there now ?

    When everyone was yelling at Gina that “she didn’t know” and she was saying “I DON’T kNOW” had me laughing. Then Shanon coddling Tamra on the curb was just too much. I wish Shanon would see Tamra for who she is already.
    Duff has aged very well. He looks better now than he did when he was with Tammy years ago. He seems like a douche though. That sucks.
