Okay, I am going take your constructive criticism to heart and try to do a better with tonight’s RHOC Recap. I will try to not make it me just saying “I hate all of these people, especially Braunwyn” over and over. But seriously. This season is particularly annoying because of their lack of taking any Covid precautions. Today I got several links to Braunwyn’s daughter Rowan’s Youtube channel. She has a lot to say about her mother and the time she was “sent away” for having an eating disorder. It’s really sad. Braunwyn was really emotionally abusive to her about her OCD and eating disorder. I wondered when I read it if Braunwyn knew it was there. It seems to have gone private now. So I guess she got in trouble.
Emily calls Kelly of all people to let her know that she tested positive for Covid. And now Shane is really sick. So she is sure he has it too. She can’t imagine how she got it. But I can! Or not that super spreader Emily went to in Vegas happened in June. For now, Emily is positive and feeling okay other than fatigue. Shane has tested negative and feels really sick.
Packing For Lake Arrowhead
It looks like everyone except for Emily and Shannon are going on the Lake Arrowhead trip. The house is gorgeous! All three of Shannon’s kids have Covid. Shannon is still negative, and she is isolating away from the kids on her own. Instead of arguing over rooms, Elizabeth gives the master bedroom to Gina. She needs some me time away from the kids. Elizabeth is not feeling that warmly toward Braunwyn. Not only has Braunwyn been rooting around in her financial business, Braunwyn didn’t quarantine for the trip like everyone else and has been out to public pools.

Braunwyn strolls in and there is booze everywhere. Like HUGE amounts of booze. She really has no business on this trip with all the drunken debauchery. But, she can’t miss her camera time. Braunwyn says the video of her at the pool was before they were supposed to quarantine. She’s already annoying everyone. See? It’s not just us.
Quarantining the Beadors
It looks like the Beador girls are at the house with Archie and Shannon is now at John’s house where his teenaged kid doesn’t quarantine either. Shannon and John Zoom with the girls. Shannon is giving them eleventy billion directions on what to take and do. Today, Shannon and John are going for another Covid test. They sure had a lot of tests available in Orange County in March. Funny how that works.

Emily talks to Braunwyn about her gossiping. She also mentions that she is not staying in the house. Braunwyn is staying in a room at a nearby resort. She wants to be in bed by 10 well ahead of the drunken arguments. Braunwyn admits to Emily that her marriage is still rocky even after the vow renewal. The more info that comes out on Braunwyn, the more hateable she is.
Everybody Out Of The Water!
Lake Arrowhead is beautiful to look at but I would not want to swim in it. Neither does Gina. The ladies go paddle boarding and take several dunks in the lake. Ew. But it is kind of hilarious. Elizabeth and Gina were super funny. Gina has never liked to get into any body of water. Back at the house everyone is trying to cook with face screens on. They don’t take off the protective layer so they can’t see out of their face screens until someone points it out to them. Because, idiots.

Political arguments don’t go well for this bunch of women. Or any of us these days. Braunwyn goes to check into her room. Meanwhile, Gina’s master suite is full of flying bugs and spiders. EW!
Shane Takes A Turn For The Worse
Emily is losing it trying to take care of Shane and the kids while she has Covid. She needs to be wearing a mask. Right now, she is the only one testing positive! The next time see her she has taken Shane to the emergency room. He was coughing up blood. She was not allowed to go in with him. AND SHE SHOULDN’T SHE IS POSITIVE FOR COVID! He’s on an IV, his oxygen levels are low and they are giving him some sort of medication. She’s sitting in the parking lot waiting on updates. Eventually, she goes home to feed the kids. Emily calls Shannon for comfort. Then, Shane texts that he is being admitted.

Later, Emily can’t get a hold of him and the nurse says that he is sleeping. But just a few minutes later he is texting Emily frightening things like, “Every hour is a struggle to live.” Emily is terrified.
Next week the Lake Arrowhead adventure continues. And Gina gets news that Matt has been charged with two felonies. Shannon starts to really lose it. Elizabeth confronts Braunwyn for hiring an investigator on her. Elizabeth has a panic attack.
I’m still very confused about Elizabeth. What dysfunctional things are in her past that she wants kept quiet? Why would she say that on TV?
So I was listening to a podcast and she was the guest on it and she talked about her childhood and her past and how she was raised in some sort of religious cult and was controlled and somewhat emotionally abused and people spoke in tongues and it freaks her out. She was crying talking about it. it was really sad. She said she has PTSD from it. Then she lived in her car and was working in a jazz club which is where she met the ex, who had dozens of girlfriends throughout their relationship and was married when they met so he sounds like a dreamboat! She wasn’t talking about any foreclosures or stuff like that. I think Braunwyn is so jealous of Elizabeth and pissed off that she has to stay sober plus Eliz is the new girl who is taking all the attention away from Braunwyn’s sorry old ass self.
On point. I’ve always gotten weird vibes from Elizabeth’s mother so now my “spidery-sense” makes some sense. Wonder if the mother is still affiliated with the cult?
The religious cult was run by her grandparents! Who lived in opulence while taking all the money from their followers and Elizabeth and her family (mother, siblings) lived in car/trailer on church property.
Wow- thanks for the info! Was this in the show (I get up really early and sometimes sleep-watch)? If it was I must have been dozing😊
I was listening to a podcast today, and they said there are people that come into RH with a story and people that want to be on the show and produce themselves. Perfect example of interesting is Whitney Rose, has background trespasses has drama within her family mediate family. Then there’s Braunwyn. She moved from Florida, where she admitted everyone was happy and fitted in, to OC. For what reason? She explicitly said she was pregnant or breastfeeding for the past 20 years. And said, although she had threesomes and imagined women while she was with Sean, she was definitely into men. I’ll admit, as you get older, things change. But she has SO many personal intimate story lines, it seems detrimental to what should be most important. Her family. Support your family from within, this seems decisive. And if her intention was to show support for all the different clans she has within her family, why would you allow producers and editors to give you and your kids a not great edit?
Braunwyn was doing this ‘feature a kid of the week’ where she would highlight each child, give a little bio with their interests, age, etc. it was creepy as hell. They moved across the country from Florida to be on the show. I get a shady vibe from them. And what is up with hiring a private detective to dig into Elizabeth’s finances? That is shady as hell. According to Braunwyn she has no idea what exactly Sean does for work and knows less about her own finances than she now knows about Elizabeth’s.
Braunwyn exhausts me
Agree. I did half ass watch tonight. Braunwyn is annoying. I have alcoholism in my family and want to sound supportive, but she’s just so annoying. That shit when she called and berated Sean for not having his phone glued to him in order to jump if she called was over the top.
Oh, as I said last week, this is exactly how they were/are in Newport. We still have the assholic covid deniers. I can’t stand watching the shows showing covid. We lived through it. But I still sort of watched. I think Braunwyn has such severe mommy issues it’s made her bitter, angry, resentful, jealous and to soothe herself she drank. She loves the attention this show gives her since she is extremely needy and craves constant attention from anyone (mommy issues rearing it’s ugly head…..) But she’s got 6 kids! shouldn’t they come first? Like take care of them and then maybe go on a reality show? She bugs the hell out of me. She has such contempt in her eyes. She needs to be off this show, take care of her family and her mommy issues, go to therapy and rehab and sort out her marriage. Why does Sean put up with her anyway? Great recap TT.
7 kids, you forgot the one hiding under the table
The OC women are allover the top in one way or another. I think John is good for Shannon. He told her to knock off her drama and I applauded. Also, the way she talks with her hands and arms flailing all over the place is extremely annoying. Funny I never noticed it before the last couple of weeks. Kelly still being so ignorant about COVID makes me want to smack her. This season, I do not like any of these women. Bah, humbug.
Last week When Braunwyn was going on about how hard it is to stay sober in front of her OCD daughter and also telling the daughter to get over herself, I thought what a sucky, self-centered, treats-her-teenager-like-a-friend mom. I’d loooove to know what her daughter said about her!
Basically she said her mother was emotionally abusive to her and that made her OCD and eating disorder worse. She would taunt her for not eating. She sent her to school one day and told her that someone would pick her up in a couple of hours from her school and take her to a residential treatment facility, That someone turned out to be her Dad. She refers to it as “the day she was sent away.” Honestly, I had to stop listening because it was so sad and made me angry.
I have not been able to watch. Did Emily go on the trip after testing positive? Or is it after the trip. Please don’t get mad if I’ve asked a stupid question. Of it is a stupid question, I truly don’t know and I’m sorry.
Emily could not go on the trip because she has tested positive for Covid (thought with few symptoms). Shane on the other hand became violently ill so she couldn’t leave him alone. She should have taken the kids to the MIL in my opinion, but I guess that might have put her at risk too if the kids have been exposed.
Aaagghh ok! I thought she tried to go on the trip. May I just take the time to thank you for your hard work and dedication, you are so very appreciated and loved by me! If you ever need a friend, a “pick me upper, or a let’s go beat her ass sidekick you just let me know!!! I have your back.
Oh may I please go on the beating ass sidekick trip? I’m old but I still think I have one good fight left in me LOLOL! Can it be Braunwyn???
Braunwyn has a very shallow, frantic, and sort of “mean” aura- she just exudes bad energy. I think that’s what people are responding to when they feel the intense dislike- it’s not the issues that she’s going through (which many can relate to, actually), it’s who she is at her core. If another person, with a more authentic “energy” we’re going through some of these things, I think we could relate, but Braunwyn is just too fake. Also, there are just too many of these issues that pop up like the moles in a whack a mole game- every. single. week. And all of the “issues” are the perfect “issues du jour” of 2020- very conveniently.
Like, if I had a son who was drawn to try drag, would I support him in every way, with all my heart? You bet I would! But Braunwyn’s fawning all over him in the makeup place just exuded phony, phony, phony, -over the top. Come to think of it, he’s the only child that she seems to show any affection for, but it seems contrived, and I feel that it’s because he just “fits her script” so perfectly. I just smell phony.
Yes to ALL of this!!!
Agree with you, too, Kat. I am all for dressing or being who you want but she seems too pleased with her son’s choices and she does show him the most love. My God, why does Sean stay with her?!?! I know I can be difficult but I am an angel compared to her! I can’t watch her anymore.
Good question! Sean seems like a better, more balanced person. Why does he tolerate the awful treatment from Braunwyn? The seven kids I guess.
Today, Covid is killing more people in Southern California than anywhere else in the world. Watch these RHOC idiots to see why.
Emily’s picture with OJ is just gross. Shannon seriously wears me out with her high pitched manic squeal about every little thing. I did like the comments from Shannon’s oldest daughter about her mom. I don’t know how John or any man can put up with Shannon for long. It was great watching Kelly eat it in the lake after saying how much Braunwyn sucked at paddle boarding. Then Elizabeth laughing at her and telling her it was karma was great. Gina’s room with all the bugs..just no. What was that? Ewww
this show has become exhausting to watch, but I had it on, as a really bad habit and lack of choices.
I wanted something that didnt matter if I missed parts as I am housetraining a puppy.
Braunwyn has to go. Why is the focus on her so much??
GIna, – could care less about- hair is a huge improvement.
Emily- seems to have some commone sense, but kinda a bore
Kelly- wrong in so many ways, but right in some. At least she calls Braunwyn out. SHe can be funny
Elizabeth- seems to want to have fun-
Shannon- uggggggggggggh can we trade her for Vicki? At least her kids seem normal 🙂
Have a great day all
Just watching these women made me anxious. No one was being careful. Were they pressured into filming despite the dangers just to keep the show going? IDK
Agree with everyone’s dislike of Braunwyyn. She is smug, hateful and self-centered. Very unattractive. And I don’t care about her problems.
Was that preview correct that Braunwyn HIRED A PI TO INVESTIGATE ELIZABETH??????? wtf? She is so jealous It’s unforgivable and unspeakable. Spend your money on your family.
Why does it feel like most of the RH shows have become the “map” and standard plan for a stay at home mom to leave her crappy marriage and be able to support her kids? It obviously works and I feel like that’s where Braunwyn is. She and her husband were swingers with a ex apartment last year and she was done having children. This year it’s her alcoholism and being a lesbian. Which will lead to her divorce story next year and her break-through, rekindled, “newly healthy” relationship with her mom. Sounds like a great way to be able to support yourself and your kids (I am being sarcastic). I do have empathy for all their struggles but it seems to me that there are several “housewives “ who have used this platform to get divorced and be financially “free” and be a “celebrity”. And all it seems to do is to destroy the kids. Makes me sad.
You hit the nail on the head! Makes me wonder though, are the husbands really clueless about the wives’ plans, and their real motives for joining these shows (financial freedom to break free from the marriage, etc.), or are they complicit, or, a little of both (depending on the couple)? In one case, I remember reading something where Kelsey Grammer had supposedly encouraged Camille to join RHBH to give her something to do (and I imagine a source of income separate from him, although she raked in plenty after the divorce) because he wanted out. So at least in that case, seems like the husband may have been the instigator. It does feel pretty sickening in contrast to so many women who actually “earn”their way to financial freedom and out of bad marriages by actually doing something- earning a degree, finding jobs, advancing in those jobs, etc. Many of these rich bitches are so dependent on unearned (by themselves, through their own efforts) wealth, they think the “easier” way out is to join one of these shows, wallow in all the crap, and drag their children with them.
First; Hello! Ive been reading for a bit and finally decided to comment.
I might be alone on this, but I LOVE Emily and Gina. Dos Idiotos! They’re friendship seems real and they are both very genuine. They are both an antidote to the OC fakery that oozes from the rest of them.
To be fair to Emily, her kids had already been exposed. By the time you’re feeling symptoms and testing positive, you’ve already been spreading your cooties. In the clip with her lace mask, i think it was Shane who didn’t have one on. A lot of people had this same attitude then. It was “serious”, but not THAT “serious”. Now, Kelly and Elizabeth sound like morons. It’s just not fair in a karmic sense that Shannon, who definitely took it very serious and Emily who had a reasonable attitude got sick. Should have been Kelly driving her man to the ER and told, nope, you can not be with him.
I felt for Emily. I think she did understand that it was because she was sick ( but even if you aren’t, they are still telling people they cant be with their loved ones). It would be scary.
Braunwyn.. yeah. I completely agree with everyone else. She is fake. I don’t even believe she is an alcoholic. Just a self centered attention ho with a temper. Hello Vicki #2!
The whole show stressed me out this week.
And Kelly saying she hates people who laugh at their own jokes. Uhm isn’t that her MO? Like in Ireland doing the finger nose flip? She’s such a hypocrite.
I mean this as an honest question and not trying to offend but…why were/are so many Americans so delusional regarding Covid? Back in April, start of April, I cancelled a flight and medical appointment in another City because I was cautious about getting covid in an airport or taxi. The City where my appointment was had around 100 cases at that time. Even back then, I was fearful and took it seriously. How can these ladies go on a trip when people around them have been exposed or have it? I don’t get it. Is it a money thing?
Side note: The delusion has migrated to Canada, and my country/Province is losing control of things currently. So we aren’t perfect either. We were good until the Fall. Then most became fatigued and angry at the “controls” impeding their freedom.
I’ve personally been petrified since it was made known it was in the U.S., but I do wish I knew the answer to your very legitimate question. I am in TN. It is one of the worst places (tied with or right behind one other state regarding present rate of infection s reported). People here are bull-headed. Walmart has signs up to wear masks, but hardly anyone does. They keep bitching about their civil rights and freedom. I’m so sick of it. IF I go out I double up on masks.
This show has become devoid of any humor and charm that it had.
Watching Shannon call Gina with her whining and crying is a replay from last year when she did it with Tamra. She’s really annoying. Shannon is just a fair weather friend who needs support but will never provide it to her friends.
Emily and her whining is getting to me too. She “did everything she was told to” except stay away from crowded places and now she has to pay the price. I really like watching Shane though.
Love your recaps. You’re 100% right no one on this cast is likeable (except maybe Gina) but Braunwyn is particularly insufferable. She’s such a hypocrite for going after Kelly for leaving her daughter to visit her fiancé at the beginning of the pandemic but posting photos of herself literally galavanting around the country without her children. I mean, somehow in the middle of a pandemic she found the time to meet a new person and start a full blown relationship. I don’t think she’s at all the social justice warrior she wants everyone to think she is. She’s awful.
This is my last season Emily and gina are too normal for the show. Brauwnyn is exhausting although i wish her all the best. When kelly brought up vicki and the pig emoji I thought I am done with Kelly she has to go.
Did Brauwyn ask her husband if he had any more “ADD” medication or if the kids had any? Her husband replied that he takes it sometimes? Is the reason Brauwyn cleans all day because she’s pumped full of adderal?
There is a “blind” out about a west coast housewive w pill issues ….. you observation makes sense…..that’s no good! Trading One addiction for Another!
She acts like she’s on meds. Very hyper and talks really fast
Hey TT, thanks for the great recap! Fun fact, I just read that Emily told Bravo’s Daily Dish that she was diagnosed with COVID in July. That would be after her trip to Vegas, right? If she went to Vegas in mid to late June how in the world would going to Vegas & not wearing a damn mask be doing everything right & can’t imagine where you got it from? I like Emily, but seeing her say that when we know some of the galavanting she was doing is so frustrating & irritating. The lack of seriousness being shown by the cast for COVID is mind numbing & makes it difficult to enjoy the show at all. I’m either yelling at the TV to them or I’m asking myself if these bitches are serious. It’s almost too much. And I want to feel for Brauwyn, but she’s also hard to watch. The best part of the season is Gina & when Gina & Emily are spending time together.
Thank you for doing the Lord’s work TT by watching & recapping so others are able to stop watching. I want to look away from this car accident but can’t. It’s one of only a few RH that I still watch.
Happy Holidays everyone!
Friends from Las Vegas said that half of the wait staff at the place where Emily took Shane & friends for his birthday had Covid. It was a literal petri dish of Corona. Children can’t have birthday parties with friends. But grown ass Shane needs a trip to Vegas and partying in a packed restaurant/bar? I just don’t get it.
Shannon is a hypochondriac, we all know this! If her lungs are so fragile why in the hell did she move from the house that she had installed a special ventilation system. She’s full of it. She takes about a 100 Vitamins, she reminds of the house wife that had Lime Disease! Her name escapes me! She was on RHOBH. Now she was sick. Shannon is exhausting! Brawnwyn I didn’t catch that she hired someone to look into Elizabeth’s finances. Now what the heck is that about? Does she want to be the, “MVP”? GIVE ME A BREAK! LMAO 🤣 😂
This show has lost its luster! Peace 🙏
One question: how does Braunwyn have such a fantastic figure? Seven kids? No stretch marks and toned to the hilt? Her waistline is so little . . . I have never seen such a thing! NOT FAIR!
Well, she has no job and tons of money so she can exercise several hours a day. She can also afford a chef, a home gym, and a trainer.
Yes I noticed her figure too!!! At first i almost though she got BBL because I didn’t remember her having any ass but this episode she looked really good in a swimsuit. However, she doesn’t work, has nannies and has unlimited funds…no reason why she shouldn’t look good. Plus with all those food “allergies” I’m sure she doesn’t eat much lol
Understanding that this was filmed back in Feb/Mar and giving them a tiny benefit of the doubt, have any of them apologized for how poorly their actions and comments have aged?
Actually, Emily just pointed out that the scenes were filmed in July.
How many storylines is Brownyn going to try? Recovering alcoholic, vow renewal woke w/BLM, woke w/cross-dressing son, unhappy marriage, gay lover. (note: I think her son is legit but she is gleeful to use it for a storyline). Next, I predict she is going to claim to be abused and leave Sean for 1-2 seasons. Nothing about her reads authentic to me.
Emily was STUNNING w/o much makeup. I assume Shane is ok?
I think Shannon defines “fun Shannon” as screeching and carrying on that she is going to die and general over-reacting. Why hasn’t this guy ran yet? Everything in Shannon’s life is a screeching dramatic moment. Imagine what it is like to be around her daily.
I do not care about whathisfaces big “D” or how good he is in bed. Why can’t Kelly talk about this guy w/o mentioning the size of his unit? She’s like a teenage boy that got laid for the first time.
Please Bravo no more COVID, politics, protests … I watch to escape real life. I want to see fabulous lifestyles and fighting. Normally, I don’t want to see fighting and prefer boring but …. bring on the fights to escape the 2020 madness.
I’m late to the post, but I absolutely couldn’t believe Braunwyn hired a photographer at the BLM talley. That’s a level of narcissism for which I was not prepared. I can’t stand her for that alone before considering everything else she’s done.
I love Gina. I relate to her.
Unpopular opinion coming – as a person of color/immigrant/woman I don’t see Braunwyn as fake. I applaud her attitude towards BLM. it cant be easy for a white rich woman to relate to oppression and discrimination but maybe because of her son, her sense of awareness has evolved Kelly Dodd on the other hand is so vile to me. Did she really say she was a minority too in response to BLM? Seeing Emily and Shannon deal with covid makes Kelly’s attitude all the more disgusting to me. I wish that Gina had more backbone when it came to calling out Kelly’s shit. I’m also lagged because I’m watching last week while this week is going on but my opinion isn’t being swayed
