I’m feeling like a petulant child today. I’m just not doing it. Most of y’all know I live in Atlanta. My morning shows are interrupted every fucking day with VOTING INFORMATION that happens EVERY FUCKING DAY. Our REPUBLICAN leadership comes on EVERY DAMN DAY and says there is no fraud in out voting. We have counted. And recounted, and are still counting again. Biden won the fucking election. CAN WE PLEASE MOVE ON. I am not dealing with any of this anymore. I just want to go to bed.
So I have no idea what Shannon and Braunwyn will get up to tonight. I am going to instead rely on you guys recapping it for me for a change. It’s just too much for me Everyday everyday, everyday, every fucking day. I just need to sleep. Or bug out or something. So please talk among yourselves. I’m sorry. I will get back to you soon. I’m just taking a mental health day.
Long time reader, first time posting. Hang in there Tamara. It is extremely hard right now. Like you, my sleeping schedule all screwed up, also finding myself drinking too much (yet acting better than Shannon Beador at that hot mess of a vow renewal reception). ?. And having to recap this dumpster fire of a show would definitely put me over the edge. Between the vile Kelly Dodd and their flippant reactions to Covid-19, it’s hard for me to even watch as an ER RN. This show is usually what makes me grab a cocktail!!! ? I saw a reader on another say something about “Bravo Burnout” and I believe I’m headed toward that. Their ridiculous arguments , especially in the grand scheme of all that is happening in our world right now seem so ridiculous and petty. I enjoyed the escape at first, but now it seems so pointless and I’m tired of their “problems” that usually aren’t REAl problems. Someone sad your house is sad? Who cares. I mean geez. Sorry so long. I mainly wanted to comment to just lift you up and hope you know you have many of us out here with you and FOR you!!! Thank you for your hard work on the site and for entertaining us!
Uggg why the big focus on Bronwyn?
I don’t find her storyline interesting and I am confused that she’s married but now today she said she’s a lesbian but she’s had seven kids. I believe she doesn’t tell the truth all the time.
She is very boring.
I feel bad for her kids
She’s a fake-woke liar- can’t stand her.
She’s a liar, period.
I agree
Good for you! I am all in supporting you taking a mental health day! It’s the best thing we can do for ourselves in these trying times.
I fast forwarded through Braunwyn and her b.s. I probably should have just deleted the show, it’s just not enjoyable anymore for me. I miss the good old days of the housewives!
This show jumped the shark. TT, take the rest of the week off. You deserve it. Vicki said it best “boringwind”
Shannon needs to grow up.
I keep thinking of what Vicki said! So true. I felt terribly for her daughter, who is so sad and scared. Brawnwyn tried to help her but it just came around to Braunwyn again. Poor girl.
Agreed.. Brawnwin is horrible. The only part of her story I believe is that she was raised by a selfish narcissistic mom….which is exactly what she is turning into herself. She is so desperate for attention that when her daughter is opening up and telling her she is scared and talking about her anxiety, Brawnwin starts talking about herself and how this will make her want to drink. Not exactly calming words for a teenager admittedly scared and anxious. Then she yells at them because they aren’t listening to them. I don’t like to judge other people’s parenting skills.. but the look on her daughters face was just painful to watch.
I just watched the episode and I’m so angry with Brawnwyn! Her poor daughter. She not only disregarded what her daughter said and made it all about her, she yelled at Shawn for trying to make her feel better. What an asshole! Her daughter’s face broke my heart. She is exactly like her mother and she doesn’t see it.
I’ve been hit or miss watching this season. I just can’t deal with Bronwyn and Shannon is insufferable with her picky egg orders and panic as she cries about paper towels and yells there is no meat. I cannot imagine being quarantined with that nutcase….actually any of them.
Glad you took some time away from the ridiculousness TT. Rest and feel better soon.
Finally watched. Agree with the comments about Braunwyn (can’t spell her name). I watched WWHL and wanted anyone else’s opinion on what Kelly Dodd said about B’s storyline being fake af and that she was acting like an alcoholic to get her own show. Actually isn’t that outrageous of an accusation. Seems to me she has one dramatic reveal after the other for herself and her children. Every issue is on display. I usually think Kelly says things for shock value only but she might be on to something here.
She was a serious dance mom. I don’t understand how she was able to travel and manage her daughter and her dance career.
More and more she will be exposed. It’s really a mish mosh story, when putting bits and pieces together.
I think her mom is trying to save her, not destroy her.
She needs education on how dangerous such a severe alcoholic should medically detox, death is possible.
That alone has made me suspect of her storyline.
I’m somewhat confused over when exactly brauwynn was this raging non-functional alcoholic. She has seven kids—she has basically been pregnant for the last decade. Did she drink during all those pregnancies? One would think the kids would show some serious signed of FAS if that happened with how she described it.
And who takes care of this brood? Does she have 14 nannies hidden in the sex apartment???
And I’m not positive why drinking boones farm at 14 sets the trajectory for this self described level of addiction…don’t you eventually have to grow up?
So many questions, so many fake answers.
I drink. Enough to know better. So I’m not judging. But then again nobody pays me to pretend to be compelling.
I hate Braunwyn. It seems pointless for her to stay with her fake storylines. She doesn’t like us and she doesn’t like living here. Why offend us by being here? I want her off my TV along with her creepy family.
If Braunwyn can’t be nice, or keep it together for minutes of national tv, she is in trouble.
Her children are secondary to herself, and it’s heartbreaking thinking about what she probably has put them through.
She needs to do the right thing and go away for 90 days plus, and protect these children from her.
Her husband is not helping by allowing everyone to be sucked in to the chaos called Braunwyn.
I just am over all the COVID stuff too and just don’t need to relive it a million times through the housewives, and Southern Charm. We watch this crap because it is not real life.
That’s how I feel as well. I hope all the RHOBH make a speedy recovery, but I’m afraid we are going to get iPhone footage of everyone suffering from Covid from each franchise for at least a year to come.
So no one likes Bronwyn and her OTT dram and “me, me, me.” (me neither)
Everyone is sick of Shannon and her dramatics and screeching.
Kelly has offended a large marority of US citizens. And Andy didn’t save her last night on WWHL. She sounded so insincere.
The new blonde seems like a lunatic, one trick pony — money money money.
That leaves the other two, who I’d be happy not to see again.
This show is over for me.
I think that Elizabeth is the prettiest one on this show. There are many other people I’d like to see go before her. Am I the only one? I feel like she will eventually stop trying to tell us how rich she is.
Braunwyn is emotionally the age she was when she started drinking (12-14) AND she’s annoying and totally self absorbed even for that age. Shannon makes me feel like hiding my own anxiety is my best option- since she turns concern and safety into a constant obsessive nightmare for those around her. Get some friggen psych help Shannon and take whatever meds are prescribed.
I agree TT, Elizabeth is physically the most beautiful but she is left in an endless loop thinking her new life will never be as good as her married one. I want her to be able to move on. She’s a mess but hurts no one but herself. Wow! Gina is fun and funny and let’s it hang out. Glad she’s around. Kelly seems empty. I FF through Kelly scenes. I’m still watching but Bravo only gets the part of me that listens rather than being emotionally absorbed.
I am sorry I am not feeling Elizabeth. She is pretty but the girls explained to her talking about money incessantly was not interesting and not a good look. Next phone conversation with her Mom, “The girls don’t like me talking about my divorce!” Noooo girl that is not what they said. Then her Mom puts it in her head how she is in the 1% so her Mom is encouraging her to keep being obsessed with money. Please.
if Braunwyn is lesbian, why did she jet off to hawaii to have an affair with a man when she was separated the first time from sean? and then do ivf to have four more kids with him? wouldn’t a hardcore drunk be more interested in drinking than more kids? bye bye braunwyn nobody wants to watch this
I’m not a fan of Braunwyn’s by any means. And I do think there’s something fishy about her stories. All of them. But I do know that alcoholism doesn’t only look one way. It’s not always the person who’s constantly wasted, slurring, and incapable of running her own life. Sometimes it means you take sips all day to calm your nerves. Or it shows up by being an escape you go to every time you’re stressed or unhappy. It can mean having a drink and not being able to stop after just one or two even though you don’t need to have one the very next day. Again, not saying this is what her alcoholism looks like but just trying to point out that it takes different forms sometimes.
I don’t know if she’s an alcoholic or not. Only she would know the answer to that. But what she is, is very messed up from that insane upbringing she had. And sadly she’s creating another insane upbringing for her kids now, too. Whole thing is like a psychological case study!
There was one light moment in this episode – for about one or two seconds, the camera flashed on Archie the Dog and who was wearing Shannon’s wedding veil (one her daughter’s had put it on him). Made me laugh out loud.
Before Kelly divorced, she made a big deal about her husband being a major narcissist .
Braunwyn clearly is one, as well…does she understand that her innocent children may follow in her footsteps.
1-Mental health days are a must during the 2020 apocalypse. Hope you had tacos. And alcohol. 2- Recap: Kelly flicked Shannon’s nose. She did it before. Maybe in Mexico? That’s all she has to offer RHOC, basically. 3-Elizabeth is a rich bitch, in case we didn’t know. Also, she married for money (duh?). Also, she has not had sex with her odd bf. No, they don’t make out. Except for the time they had sex, before he knew she was married, but once he found out she is married, he put the lockdown on that shit. Except, he always knew she was married. Basically, Jimmy doesn’t want to bang Elizabeth. No one knows why, because she’s waaayyyy hotter than him. 4-Emily went to an Italian market with Gina, didn’t recognize the smells of meat and cheese, like it was the first time she had been around these items. It was riveting. 5-Gina is becoming the narrator of the OC. At first, her voice was like nails on a chalkboard to me and I thought she was b-o-r-i-n-g. Now, after watching an episode I talk like her for the rest of the night, and is it me, or is she actually becoming pretty funny? 5-Braunwyn has a vow renewal, which in housewives land is a last ditch effort to save a marriage after therapy has failed and we can’t expect divorce proceedings in 12 months or less. Bride wore white. Groom wore a statement necklace and a look of regret. 6-Shannon gets real drunk and awkward with Braunwyn’s kids (at least it wasn’t the ones who had lice) and later drunkenly speaks incoherent Spanish to a blurred out hotel maid while eating some very sketchy leftovers, I don’t know what…sushi and cheese? Oh, also Coronavirus…Shannon’s the only one who believes it’s a concerns so far. And she also believes she’s definitely going to get it snd die.
*can expect divorce proceedings.
I did not have tacos on Wednesday. But I had to run a very short errand today that was right near Taco Bell. So it’s beer and taco night here tonight!
AND ALSO, please mare you calendars. I TOOK A SHOWER AND WASHED MY HAIR Today! And I’m about to put on CLEAN CLOTHES! It’s been a pretty good day.
Oh and great recap!
Yay for tacos, beer and showering! Also, thank you!
“And a look of regret” lolol!
Loved your recap!!
My favorite part was recapping Elisabeth and Jimmy “not” having sex …
That vow renewal was odd. There wasn’t any warmth or joy. No one seemed to be having a good time.
Shannon thinks everything is going to kill her. Remember the crystals in her floor and the walls in the house with David?
