Well we are certainly living in interesting times, Americans. So perhaps it is for the best that RHOC is sofa king boring this year. Oddly, despite how much we seem to dislike it, their ratings are actually pretty decent. Tonight’s RHOC recap will cover Elizabeth’s childhood abuse, Shannon and John’s relationship issues and how Braunwyn’s latest fake storyline ripped from the headlines is affecting her marriage. Sound good? Well, that’s what we’ve got. Shannon is packing Sophie off to Baylor.
She has bought headboards and pillows and having her tailor make her bedspread. Shannon can’t pronounce Waco. Sophie has no idea what she is getting into at that Christian school. She won’t last a year. Sophie is dying to get away from Shannon out of Newport Beach. BTW, Archie has been really sick lately.
Sad, Broken People
It seems, given the circumstances of the day, that recapping Braunwyn’s bullshit storyline is even a bigger waste of time than usual. Sean needs to take all seven kids and move out. Braunwyn is clearly spending all her time with her “girlfriends” and not parenting at all, so SHE should just move out. She not a mother, she’s a surrogate. It seems like Braunwyn has a lot of time on her hands to investigate people and gossip. This week her target appears to be Shannon and John. Apparently, John got super wasted at a golf tournament and his dad had to come get him. Braunwyn told Emily who told Gina. Gina is worried about Shannon and John’s drinking.

Elizabeth’s brother is in town. Now these two can talk about how abusive their childhoods were. I’ll spare you the details. Elizabeth has never spoken to her mother about this. But it looks like we will be going to therapy with her. Oh. Joy. What does Elizabeth always have a hat on?
Kelly and Jolie go to the ugliest beach in the world. Jolie says that Kelly is way too strict. She does all the chores, she makes straight As, and she has no freedom. Jolie thinks Rick is the reason she is in such a good place now. He makes her a lot happier. Somehow, Jolie has turned out to be a bright, kind young lady.
News From Newport
Shannon and John have been apart for three weeks due to Covid. John has a cool dog. Shannon is a bit concerned about her drinking in the past. She feels bad for taking her fears and aggression out on him. She’s trying not to be so reactive. For whatever reason, John loves Shannon. So,it seems like they are good. They are ready to spend a night together.

Gina talks to her boyfriend about Matt. Matt refused his plea deal so he will probably be going to trial. He has a pre-trial coming up. Gina is upset that he is not willing to admit what he did. It makes her feel like what she went through is being diminished. Because it is.
Emily goes to Elizabeth’s house for lunch on the patio overlooking the ocean. Elizabeth shares her childhood cult situation with Emily since she wasn’t at Lake Arrowhead. Elizabeth says she facetimed with Braunwyn to talk and she totally tuned her out. So, Elizabeth is already over Braunwyn. Emily can’t stand Braunwyn either. I think it is unanimous. Now that Elizabeth is divorced, Emily asks if she is having sex with Jimmy who is like five feet away The answer, if you care, is yes.

I hate Braunwyn so much. Now she has her bimbos over to talk shit about Sean. How does she go to two AA meetings a day when all she does hang out with her friends?
Kelly stops by to visit Shannon. Shannon got her final payment from David and left the check laying out so Kelly would see it. It’s $1.4 million dollars. Kelly says, “That goes by fast.” Really? Shannon says that during COVID she was drinking too much and fighting with John while drinking a tumbler of tequila. Kelly tells Shannon that Gina said she was worried about her. Shannon is pissed. She says she hasn’t heard from Gina in three months. Then Kelly says that Braunwyn and Sean are on the verge of divorce.
Next week is the finale! YAY! Sean moves out, Elizabeth sees a therapist, and everyone gets together for a drunken beach party.
Yep, in a weird way, this season of RHOC feels very appropriate. Considering how shitty 2020 was and how horrifying 2021 is already becoming, there’s nothing like another gawd-awful shitshow to remind us all how much of a clusterfuck America is.
Sorry. I’m just extra depressed today.
Thank you for the recaps TT,I get so bored that I can’t bother to focus on the episodes – Braunwyn needs to GO. I actually like Emily but can’t really muster interest in any of the others.
I miss Fancy Pants & her lifestyle and condescension – can you imagine her reactions to Braunwyn ? LOL
I haven’t watched the episode yet but I just want to say your photo grabs(I can’t find another word for them at the moment my brain is scrambled from the day) each episode are sooo brilliant and a work of art in themselves
Haven’t seen it yet, well.. saw last 20 minutes. Already Braunwyn bugs me after one scene. Does she ever parent her own children. Something is wrong with her… mommy issues? Shannon is intolerable. These newport kids are spoiled rotten. They never worked a hard days work in their lives. They all take naps. WHY?? Naps from doing what? I just can’t right now. This day has been shocking….
Why do people like Brawnywin get to have like a gazillion kids and then never parent them? What a piece of trash she is, no wonder none of them talk to her. I hope she gets canned. And while they’re at it, can this whole pos show. So over them and their Karen asses!!
The world is sad and depressing and so is the OC. No fun trips…no drunken antics…no parties. I can’t even watch anymore.
Hate Braunwyn too. She has to be the center of attenton. And is loving the fact that Sean is upset with her antics. smdh Add me to the dump Braunwym petition.
I was kind of shocked at how controlling Shannon was re the daughter going away to school. A custom made mattress and dust ruffle? She will be the butt of jokes in the dorm. However, the girl seems to have done nothing to prepare herself for leaving either. She is so suffocating. She sucks the air out of every room she’s in. Are Shannon and the BF still together? They seem like two drunks as a couple.
And I laughed at your comment re Elizabeth always wearing a hat TT. I had the same exact though.
This season was a big nothing. Glad it’s almost over.
I feel like the season isn’t the best we’ve had, but I don’t mind it and think the girls (less Braunwyn) should be brought back before giving up hope completely – they couldn’t do anything all season so we can’t expect it to be super entertaining.
How does Braunwyn have all these kids and we have never seen one birthday mentioned? That is SEVEN birthdays a year. I have two kids and I don’t do big parties, but I start making arrangements a month in advance. I would be shocked if she was able to recite their birth dates from memory.
Braunwyn’s girlfriends just want to be on the show.
It was weird to watch this and then know that actually, current day, Braunwyn and Sean are living in the same house and despite Braunwyn’s relationship with another woman, she feels like she and Sean will stay married. What the heck. She needs to let him go but more importantly, he needs to let HIMSELF go! Jeebus already. Those poor kids.
Braunwyn was on Twitter last night (you remember last night? There was kind of a lot going on. ) complaining that she simply got a BAD EDIT this season.
I know I tell you guys not to harass reality folks on social media but I did have to explain to her that you can’t “self-produce” with all the Look at me! I’m supporting BLM, an alcoholic, Lesbian trifecta and then complain because you look like an ass.
Is she really trying to put the spotlight on herself during a unprecedented day in American history? What an asshole. I still want to hear her recite her kids’ birth dates from memory. Does she even know their middle names?
I’m 100% not digging the cult talk. It’s so horrible, creates horrible knowledge that I hope is told, dealt with, then move on. It is way too awful to be a season storyline. It scares me and if she is out, let’s be out.
Braunwynn so needs to goooooo!!!!!!
She is going to sink the show, as well as questions about Elizabeth having sex. Gawd, so ridiculous and NOT a storyline!.
It’s like the bachelor or bachelorette,where everyone has to “open up” and “be vulnerable” so they dont seem too boring. I think that is what is going on.
For Shannon, 1.4 million will go fast if she is having tailor made organic bedding for her daughter’s roommate! I dont see her working very hard on her food line either.
Braunwyn is the worst, cant say what has already been said. I just wonder if they ditch the kids because of “filming” and “work” ? The idea that she really doesnt spend any time with her kids is just terrible
When they were at Lake Arrowhead, she was hurrying home to either come back again the next weekend with girlfriends or go somewhere else with girlfriends. It seems to me she was always planning girls’ nights out and AA and filming and other activities. I’ve never heard he once say she needed to leave for a PTA meeting or a kids recital, or a parent teacher meeting or a play day, or doctor’s appointment. We see all the other moms interacting with their children. She seems to only pay attention to the gender fluid kid because that’s a thing that gets a lot of media attention. Just like alcoholism, bisexuality, and BLM. When that one poor daughter had to film with her she was total bitch to her. Everything is about Braunwyn.
Exactly! It is alot of freaking work to raise children. I am running my ass off during quarantine, with two kids. How the fuck do you have time to be an alcoholic with SEVEN children, and no one has ever called CPS on you? I call bullshit on this one. I have grown up with adults in my life that have issues with sobriety. I have lost people with those issues, and still dealing and navigating with people addiction issues. I just can’t this unrealistic representation of an “alcoholic”. It is fake as hell and I call bullshit.
I don’t think there would have been any need for CPS because aren’t there multiple nannies that are actually watching the kids?
I can’t believe the season is almost over. I’ve been waiting and waiting for something to happen, and the most interesting (and tragic) thing was Elizabeth talking about her childhood. I’m sick of Braunwyn’s “research” (i.e. the producers feeding her things to say) and being an asshole to everyone else. Where is Kim Richards when we need her?! Remember Kim telling Rinna, “Stop taking my inventory!” AKA straighten yourself out out before you meddle with others. Waiting for Braunwyn to actually learn something useful from all these AA meetings she’s been attending. COVID sucks.
Now to actually watch the episode…
If Shannon is “edited”, then she drinks more than we see and definitely more than she admits. I find this ironic for someone who preaches about holistic healthcare, vitamins, cleanses etc. yet pours alcohol down her throat. Hey I’m not against a drink but she needs to pick a lane because the two she lives in aren’t even parallel.

Okay, I’m caught up now. The last few days were a bit scary and exhausting but now I can comment after seeing the whole thing. WTF Braunwyn? Stay home, parent your children and either stay married or let your husband go. Period. She is thirsty for attention, thirsty for affection, thirsty for airtime, center of attention, latest causes, etc. etc. I feel bad for her children and that’s about it. Shannon? 1.4m is a shit load of money and for them to act like it’s nothing is beyond ignorant and insulting and goes to show you what I’ve been saying for years about these people around here. In a bubble. Not one of them lives in the real world. Organic headboards? Why is this necessary in life? Tailor made bedspread? What’s wrong with BB&B? Arrogant, self-entitled, over acting and just all over exhausting to listen to. And in her talking heads she is starting to look like Donatella Versace so she needs to lay off the bronzer/tanner and all the fillers.
Shoot, I erased myself.
I was thinking perhaps Elizabeth could go around to Orange County and surrounding areas where snagging a billionaire may be the goal.
She just may have some life experiences that in the end was to leave her broken, no friends, and the young ages may see friends as the most important thing to have. You just never know.
I think she has a story, if she can just take a year or two and calm down!!
I’m sorry, but these women are absolutely terrible, selfish and mean. We all knew Tamara was a jerk, but she was straight forward. Please, please, let go of this cast or just shut it all down. Emily is boring, Gina could have been great, but nope- she is boring…It’s all a giant snooze fest of privileged narcissistic a-holes.
And- it seems like this is happening in ever group… take a hint from Seinfeld and just end it!
