I’m not sure I am ready for this RHOC Recap, y’all. I mean, it’s not on for three and a half more hours and between trying to properly rename the photos from the Media site with the right names, amid a sea of photos of one party that I believe was taken from Noella and given to Heather, I’ve already hit my Fancy Parts limit. And I haven’t even watched a single preview except for the one the show on TV before I can fast forward.
Look At Me!
We are starting with Heather and I hate this season already. Look at my house! Look at my shoes! Look at my kids! Look at my dress! Look at my husband! Blah, blah, blah. Sorry, I am zipping through this crap. On to Gina. She has her license back when she should probably not. She drives Emily over to Pilates. Nope. Not watching anymore Pilates. Emily shares that Shane passed the bar because they lowered the score you needed to pass. If I was Shane I would divorce Emily for this scene. Things with Gina and Travis are doing well. We move on to Shannon who somehow seems less annoying than the rest at this point. However, she is the one chosen to be ganged up on this season. Because, misogyny. I’m shocked that Shannon’s daughter seems to love Baylor. Very shocked.

Heather apparently got to have a “friend of the show” this season and her name is Nicole. She was in some of the media village pictures had Nicole in them but she was not named in the photos. Heather talks about Shannon to Nicole and says they sort of talking. Shannon should never allow Heather to speak to her again. She literally tried to get Terry to committ Shannon after she drove her insane. True, it was as short trip, but still.
Twenty Minutes Into Episode One, It’s Botox Time
The reason we have to watch Emily and Gina have cow botulism injected into their faces is that the doctor is new housewife Jen Armstrong. I already see this becoming another show like Botched. Again, no thank you. Emily has had a million surgeries since last season. I’ll spare you the details. Again, skipping forward. Emily and Gina meet with Shannon for drinks on the beach. Emily toasts to the new “Tres Amigos.” Meanwhile, there is a bit of competition for the “Tres Amigos” title this episode.

Noella, Nicole and Heather meet for drinks on another beach. Shannon has a new face or three. She’s not the same person in the scenes as in her talking heads. Shannon sings Heather’s praises to Emily and Gina. Noella announces she and her husband have a sex dungeon in their house. He will file for divorce within the week. Apparently, Shannon knows Nicole from years ago and apparently can’t stand her. If she said why, I missed it. I hate when they mash up two scenes like this.
Jen is married to a guy named Ryne. The have three kids two twins (9) and the third is eight. We are getting a Levi’s call for a missing child so I will miss the rest of this scene if not the episode. Father apparently abducted a two year old from the mother. Oh, I am behind so the missing chunk will happen later. Ryne doesn’t know how to open a wine bottle and he carries around a little dog.
Let The Drama Begin
These scenes in groups of three are SOFA KING annoying! This time it is Heather, Shannon, and Gina. Apparently, the night before Shannon was at the same restaurant drinking and was the last to leave and was stuck with the bill. She didn’t have her credit card with her, and Heather happened to be there with Terry and they picked up the tab. Heather is inviting everyone to her party. She mentioned it several times. Especially that she is having it catered by Nobu which is apparently where all the fame whores in California like to be filmed not really eating any food.

Heather mentions to Shannon that Nicole is coming. Then, we get Gina in a talking head spilling the tea that Shannon told her and Emily about Nicole. The big news is that Nicole sued Terry Dubrow. How would Heather no know that? Why is this some sort of secret? Why does Gina want to tell Heather that she literally met half a drink ago this news? Why does she care? Can we just get to the fucking party? No. No. We. Can. Not. It looks like Gina texted Heather while she was in the bathroom.
God, I Hate Heather Dubrow
Heather cannot wait another minute to show off her house even though everyone will be there the next night. So she drags Gina and Shannon for another round of “look at me!” All of these seasons later, Heather still cannot pronounce ‘porte cochere’. It’s only three syllables, dear. It’s just an entrance with a covered driveway so you can get in and out without getting wet. Not really a thing you need in Orange County. But, please, continue to be hilariously nouveau riche. And, I’m judging you on that from the hood. Money screams, wealth whispers. Could this be the new Chateau Du Bravo Felons? She will not shut the fuck up about this house. I’ve been on shorter tours of The Louvre.

They did ANOTHER AMBER ALERT that shuts down everything. Apparently we have moved on to the party. Gina is there to squeal to Heather about Nicole suing her of course Because, storyline. And THANK THE BABY JESUS, THE EPISODE FINALLY ENDS.
Fucking Fancy Pants has not changed and was INSUFFERABLE on WWHL. I like Emily and Gina, and thank you I missed what was the problem with the new girl. ✅ Shannon is cray cray, and I do not blame David for leaving her. Sorry not sorry.
Same, honestly not surprised her daughter wants to stay in TX. I would too!
Agreed! I was looking forward to Heather returning but am disappointed. I’ll just be reading the TT’s recaps going forward.
Heather is unwatchable. She just brags and it’s not interesting
Heather looks fantastic and hasn’t changed a bit. Her house tour reminded me of Million Dollar Listing houses where they say beyond-pretentious things like “this re-claimed wood is from a stable where 70 Arabian horses cantered through every day”.
So Heather, desperate for her own bragging points, tosses out “fun facts” like how a light fixture arrived on the largest shipping container ever brought into the U.S., and “the rooms are all so big, you have to have custom furniture made,” and (paraphrasing here) “all the kitchen cabinets had to be re-made because I found a bump in one of them.” Does plastic surgery pay THAT well? Sad.
Noella is beautiful—striking, really–and another braggart. Her house looks mid-90’s. The swimming pool reminded me of when you book a hotel, psyched that there’s a pool, then you drive into the parking lot and there it is, all stucco and looking like it hasn’t been scrubbed in a while and you lose all enthusiasm to jump in. Sad.
Yes, the editing was so confusing. I didn’t realize that the Botox doctor was the same person as the new HW later in the episode. And why wouldn’t Heather know who is suing Terry?
And Heather on WWHL, stepped all over Analeigh Ashford who was doing a very funny Gina impression. You can tell, Heather is just preening and so, so happy to be back on TV–sad.
I think that woman sued Terry a long time ago. Shannon knew her when the kids were in pre-school, and she knew about the lawsuit from way back then. It does seem VERY ODD that Heather wouldn’t have known about it.
Tamara, I thought of you immediately when Shannon’s daughter said she wanted to stay in Texas for the rest of her life. Too funny. Not sure if it’s college she likes so much, or some other attraction in the Dallas suburbs
This show was not fun to watch AT ALL It should just disappear without any fanfare.
I was asking myself the same thing! Where did they get all this money? I get it doctors make a great salary but what is Terry doing that nobody else is?
His brother was in the band Quiet Riot and pasted away in 2007. Could he be receiving money/royalties from his late estate? Just taking a guess.
I thought the same thing. Quiet Riot was huge and Terry had all his brother’s gold records.
Could be. Or part of them. It’s also possible he invested really well over the years. For all we know he bought early shares of Amazon or Google or Twitter etc. I was offered to buy early shares of Amazon way back in the day, the pitch was that they were going to ship books straight to you. It was like 1 or 2 thousand a share and I didn’t have money, I was in college, or a crystal ball. But I’m in Southern California and so is he. I met those people at a barbecue, he could’ve run into the same crowd.
“70 Arabian horses cantered through every day” beyond hysterical!! I didn’t like her house at all. I thought it looked extremely devoid of human life. Now Yolanda had a beautiful house with a Stunning view. I saw no actual light coming into the house? And “preening” is the perfect word for her attitude.
I actually really liked this episode! Definitely gonna keep watching.
I don’t like Heather but I did enjoy seeing the house
Curious if Terry gets royalties off his brothers music “Quiet Riot”, I think he wrote everything, or if that’s where they get a chunk of the wealth to push on and be a surgeon to the stars, kinda like that Malouf situation, live off other people’s money. Frankly I dunno if Terry’s parents are still around, just a random guess at where all the money came from.
I forgot about that. That makes sense.
Thank you, I answered someone above before reading through the whole thread of comments.
Interesting how Heather could not stop bragging and yet she told Alexis back in the day, that if you have it you don’t have to flaunt it, you don’t talk about etc … not sticking up for Alexis but Heather is bypassing her in the insufferable bragging department 🙄 … not sure im going to like this season … thanks for always taking one for the team TT!!!
EXCELLENT point!
TT, what do you have against pilates? We have a new studio and I have it on my “to try” list.
What did Dr. Jen do to Gina’s chin??
I don’t understand Shannon’s big secret. Nicole sued Heather’s husband? Wouldn’t that be something Heather would know– Terry would know who she’s hanging out with and mention it, right?? So weird. Or, does Heather know and it reflects poorly on Dr. Terry and she didn’t want it mentioned on the show?? It doesn’t make sense.
I love KID ROCK!! See him in concert and you’ll see why. I’m not sure about Noele. She’s pretty braggy too. Heather 2.0. We’ve already had so provocative HW’s and I could not care less about her sex dungeon with the sweet lawyer. That was so 50-shades ago.
Dr. Jen and her husband don’t seem to be vibe-ing.
Champs. Seriously. That is obnoxious, right?? It’s champaign. Knock off the cutesy shit — she’s f’n 60-something. Heather’s house is amazing. Imagine how much we’d love it if she weren’t so obnoxiously bragging. But, she makes us want to hate it with her “I designed this” “imported that on the biggest ship ever to come to America” “touch my hot towels””look at me touch my champaign button”. Ugh. It’s hard to love with that level of obnoxious but I do love it. Poor Shannon. I bet that was emotional. A throwback to a not-so-happy time.
I love Gina, Emily, and Shane. I bet we end up liking Dr. Jen’s husband but that little dog — he tossed it around like a hot potato. Dogs don’t like that but clearly the dog trusts him. I kept thinking — ohhhh noooo don’t hold the puppy like that. I bet he is a good Dad and a good puppy Dad. I’m not implying anything other than it gave me a little anxiety.
I’m kinda sad that they didn’t show off the tree of embryos when we got the tour. Missed opportunity producers🤣
Oh we got the tree of embryos.
Did you see Gina’s face when Heather showed the “eggs”? Hysterical. It’s like there is a balloon over her head, you can read her face so well. I have always Loved Gina, we are from the same neck of the woods, I totally get her. And she looks amazing with the extensions out! I caught last years reunion (didn’t watch last years RHOC) and Andy made such a big deal about Gina’s hair foibles. I mean he was such a dick-
Then you will hate Watch What Happens Live. He does a video of all of her bad hair looks. OMG She is so nice and he treats her so nasty.
I loved the house but sick of Heather in the first 15 minutes. It is going to be a long season.
Omg how did I miss this🤣
Heather is 52, not “60-something”. “Champs” for champagne was her catchword for her entire previous run.
Did find her material self-promotion disappointing and somehow stultifying.
Kid Rock is a horrific human being. He refused to close his bar in Nashville during Covid because, you know, it’s fake. He also scoffs at vaccines and masking up in any way. He’s pretty much everything that’s wrong in this country.
The secret is weak at best and I’m sure there’s more to it like, oh she’s the woman that David had an emotional affair with, etc.🤣 hell I don’t know but wow shes really aged a bunch when you see the flashbacks. Makes me remember when she got that valve stuck up her bum that the ex had to fish out! I think Heather knows her roll, bring back the wealth and shove it in everyone’s face. I’m not minding this show so far, no Kelly really helps. I’ll give it a go this year. I do like that the new wives were blended in well for me. I remember their names🥴
Even if the whole season turns into another poop show, I am just so thrilled that it’s without Tamra and Kelly!!!
My people! I can’t stand Heather. She thinks so highly of herself.
I agree, will not be watching the Heather show.
Can we talk about how obviously annoyed Shannon was during the beach dinner scene with Emily and Gina?
Shannon was seething with YOU ARE NOT MY AMIGOS! I am uno amigo!
Her face give away her disdain every time, she knows its them or nothing!!
It seemed as if Bravo didn’t do much press for the show. Do they know they episodes are not as strong as they would like? I like Heather but something about the energy on the show is off. I don’t think it is her but everyone bowing down to Heather is weird. Or maybe Heather seemed more tolerable standing next to Tamra & Vicki with their psychotic energy (Not a dig I do like them). Also it feels super forced, these aren’t a group of rich friend in Orange County. Its women who desperately want to be a real housewife, and are over aspirational-ising their lives. Nobody gets dressed like Noella to go to a party. When they all wore those tacky sky tops it was more grounded in reality.
Isn’t it weird they didn’t give Nicole a cast photo? Or really acknowledge her in the press statements.
Sky tops!!! 😇
I had a Sky top (or 2) back in the mid aughts!
The “problem” with the story line about suing Terry will probably come down to Heather knew all about it, it wasn’t a big deal, it all got settled out, after all it was YEARS ago, and they became friends because of it. Don’t see much drama there except for the part Shannon plays in it. I had not watched RHOC for several years and just caught up on the last season or so in a marathon.
Heather and Terry’s son really has grown to be a handsome young man. Little Coco is 10! I liked seeing the flashbacks to when they were smaller. Aren’t the two dogs they showed different than the ones they had last time Heather was on?
I think they took a tour of the house as a way to show the viewers the house. I don’t get the largeness of the rooms, seem like they would echo a lot. Will stay tuned this year because Vicki and Tamra are gone.
Forgot to ask before but how did Banjo and Nancy get along? I know you said he is a handful at the vet, but was he friendly at his house with Nancy?
He bit me, I’m suing Tamara. JUST KIDDING!! Seriously he was so laid back and TT did point out that he was more and more comfortable with me as time went on. I even got to make him his dinner, sans eggs. Shit!, we actually did go somewhere, I would have picked up eggs if I had known he liked them! He is perfectly behaved, not an attention whore like so many dogs. He is very chill. Perfect roommate –
Aww, he recognized one of the good guys! Thank you for helping out, I am sure she is so grateful!
Both Banjo and I took a few beats to be welcoming to our new guest. But we eventually came around. 🙂
I dont know… sounds like Banjo handled it way better than you did
that sounded meaner than I meant it, I meant it as a joke, hope it read that way.
I’m probably on my own but I’m happy Heather is back. It feels like back to basics…. Real Housewives with money…. So many of them now are divorced or broke. I love the opulence. And want to see the Champagne button.
I’m not opposed to the house tour. Bravo made her do it because there’s so much hoopla over the build, Heather of course gladly obliged. She’s rich, bitch! Way over the top for me, but it’s nice to see real wealth back on the franchise. Not mediocre townhouses and rentals. I don’t like Heather, but I dislike some of the other ladies more.. So I’m happy she’s back.
Me too! This is what I come to housewives shows for! The drawer of heated towels – that is the BEST! I got my tonsils out an 18 and in the surgery room – where I was basically naked – they opened a drawer just like that and covered me with warm blankets. It was HEAVEN on earth. They probably got that thought from the hospital. This is what we expect of Heather and she brought it. I’m Loving it – this is true escapism!
I personally loved the fondle my towels scene. It sure beats the hospital grade air system from Shannon. All nice but well hot towels, come on!!
I wish they did this for my son when he had his wisdom teeth out. I went to get him and he was shaking from head to toe. I was worried that he was having some kind of reaction to the anesthesia, but they said he was just cold.
I’m happy Heather’s back too. Much like Bethanny, I can see why other people don’t like her, but I find her entertaining and I like how she says whatever she wants to say. I wish I could define the difference I see between Bethanny, Heather Thomson, and Heather Dubrow who I like, and people like Kelley and Vicki and Tamara who are also outspoken, but drive me nuts. I think it has to do with the level of gossip. I feel like the latter 3 are just more into creating drama and tearing people down. Where the ones I like are just living their lives without apology and inviting us to see in.
The former 3 are educated and well spoken.
The latter 3 are just bougie.
In his Tahoe cabin, the poopy orthodontist had his copper pipes as part of the rustic/industrial decor. The hot water pipes were the towel racks and by the time you were done with your shower, the towels were warm,
I was very envious.
I’m with you too! I want more housewives like Heather. Rich people problems and heated towel drawers, which btw I’m totally adding to my imaginary house. I agree the house tour was staged by production and yes Heather can be over the top sometimes but we also know she won’t be flashing her boobs and talking about blow jobs anytime soon.
Heather is a shit stirrer and so is Shannon…..It’s the battle of the shit stirrers!
Might be interesting.
Heather adds some juice and poison, that’ll be fun, but do think it odd she went right to the co-center orange holder with Shannon. It’s like she came in and it became the “Heather Show of OC.”
Ok, so episode 1 was clearly Heather’s brag-fest. I’m not impressed with her house. It’s very dark. I prefer light and airy or at lest warm. The dark decor adds to the overall darkness of the house.
Oh and I can guarantee the chandler was not the largest container ever. That’s a complete lie.
I’m glad Fancy Pants is back. This is why I initially started watching HW shows…rich fancy people showing their rich fancy lives.
The majority of OC women are loud and “new money”. I lived in San Diego and hated going to the vineyards in Temecula on the weekends because gaggles of plastic OC women would show up and just act like complete trash.
They were really self important and pushy and rude.
I worked at a fancy club in Newport, I totally understand🤣 my favorite was remembering to keep the mistresses and wives straight🥴
I don’t mind Miss Fancy Pants and I’ll take her any-day-every-day over vulgar, anti-vaxxer, flapper mouth Kelly Dodd.
I laughed out loud at the way Noella and Nicole were dressed when they showed up for LUNCH with Heather, who looked great and was dressed properly for a LUNCH. I’m now looking forward to an entire season of ridiculous, slutty, over dressing from those two.
If I had a personal chef working for me I would expect more than a couple of skimpy pizzas topped with what looked like mango and a salad. Just call Dominos for the kids for Pete’s sake. You are wasting that man’s talent.
Bravo, please stop spending the first episode on the fake “let me introduce you to my friend” nonsense. We KNOW we are watching a casted show-you’re not fooling us.
I don’t know a single doctor that has not been sued. The clinics they work for keep insurance on them just in case. Doctors are a target for the sue-happy people who resent their salaries .
I don’t know a single plastic surgeon that doesn’t require his patients to initial and sign multiple pages of a contract that states you understand the changes and outcome of the procedure(s) may not be what you wanted.
I love Heather. Thank you Bravo for bringing her back. I want fab housewives with oodles of money!
So sad that Emily made Shane passing the bar into a joke. I generally like her, but she should praise in public and criticize in private.
Heather likely doesn’t know that Nicole sued her husband. It was long ago and under a different last name. I’m sure Terry shared he was sued, but the name of the person wouldn’t necessarily be the thing he’d share. He’s likely been sued several times. It is shady on Nicole’s part though.
Noella- ugh. I don’t like her based on first impression. Uncouth and over the top.
“So sad that Emily made Shane passing the bar into a joke. I generally like her, but she should praise in public and criticize in private.
Exactly, The California Bar has the lowest pass rate of any state in the nation. The test is notoriously hard. This is mainly because it can be because they also have the largest amount of applicants so they can technically ” afford” to set the bar higher than any other state. People on social media seem to mock Shane as if he is not smart. He is! He would have passed on the first try in any other state.
The new lower score of 1390 is still above the national cut score average of 1350. Since 2013 up until the July 2019 exam, more applicants failed the exam than passed it. February 2018’s results hit an all-time low, with 27.3% of applicants passing. In July 2019, a bare majority passed, with a passing rate of 50.1%.
I found Emily belittling her husband on national TV repulsive. And I’ve always liked Emily. But, that just startled me.
That comment by Emily made me no longer irritated with Shane for trying to sabotage her diet by offering her bread at a dinner date. She seems less than supportive of his endeavors. She seeemed to be irritated she had to take care of the kids while he was studying. She of all people knows that studying for the bar, PARTICULARLY IN CALIFORNIA, is a full time job.
I remember studying for the LSATs and that was a LOT of studying. And after several hours of studying, you are mentally exhausted, you’ve probably forgotten to stop to eat, you are cranky and just need some time to relax your mind.
Emily could have easily hired help when she was alone caring for her kids. She could have had a housekeeper, a babysitter/nanny, and Uber Eats meals delivered. Shane is wealthy. That’s one thing he brings to the marriage. Also his parents live across the street and could have helped by having one or two kids over for dinner and spend the night.
Shane brought money to the marriage which could have helped make up for him not being there. He brought a nearby supportive family which also could help. Emily didn’t give him enough credit for the advantages he provided.
I have never cared for Emily and Shane’s strange marital dynamic. They put each other down a lot. I get stressed just watching them.
Besides the Calif. bar being difficult, there are a shit ton of people who are very intelligent and know their subject inside out, but don’t test well. Many freeze up during a test.
I love Heather so much and its nice to have her back. I’m a bit confused about the friends of or whatever. So its Heather/Gina/Shannon/Emily/Noelle/Nicole/Jennifer also right, I don’t know. I love how impressed Gina is with Heather. Shannon looks constantly miserable as if she knows her time is up.
Can please we just retire the phrase “three amigos” . Ugh! Glad Tamra, Vicky and Kelly are gone and was looking forward to Fancy Pants, but 5 minutes in she was grating on my last nerve. Shannon is in hell and I’m afraid Heather’s life being flashed is going to set Shannon off and not in a good way emotionally. Side note: who goes drinking without taking a credit card?
Who leaves the HOUSE (except hiking or jogging) without a creditor ATM card?
I was under the impression that production always pays when they go out. That’s why they get so wasted, free booze!
The entire time Heather was giving the grand tour, I was DYING. It reminded me of a friend’s mother giving me a home tour. Everything was either the “finest of the fine” (or it had fallen off the truck). My friend was digging her fingernails into my hand, trying not to laugh or explode. Turns out, my friend’s brother had his best friend and his parents over for dinner and Mom gave the SAME tour. The friend’s dad was an IRS agent … Things didn’t add up… Her dad went to federal prison for two years for tax evasion (very Al Capone). Still don’t know if the friendship was a set-up, or a coincidence. Seems people here are having the same kind of questions about Chateau Dubrow.
There are few things I love more than a good comeback or Cinderella story. Gina looked stunning with her new hairdo wearing that hot pink dress that showcased her long slim legs. After she hit that low point last season, it was really nice to see her back on top of things.
Heather gets on my last nerve, but I actually do have the same opinions as her. I guess I would be her if I had money, but I don’t. And I never will. I have always found her to be condescending. I always hated how she ordered food in restaurants. That is a tell, for me, that she is an asshole. There is just something that doesn’t connect.
I can get in and out the door without getting wet. It is called an umbrella and it has 3 syllables also.
One of the new girls looks a lot like Emily. I hope it’s not another Meredith/Lisa situation. People should not look that much alike unless they are actually twins. Lol
Heather does not know how many bedrooms she has. Seriously? Is her house as big as The Louvre?
I’ve been waiting to see that house since Heather left. It was worth the wait.
Other than that, I always liked Heather, but there was too much of her. I assume the producers will even things out as the show goes on. At least I hope so.
This episode was worth it just to see Emily bringing a turkey sandwich into the sauna during a “detox”. I died.
In the previews, that is.
There has been alot of talk from fans over the years people wanting to see the inside of Heather’s home. I think that is why they wanted to show a tour of the home straight out. She didn’t really come off that well showing the home but I am hope that was a one time deal. However, I can remember Jeff Lewis saying he has disdain for her because he witnessed her talking down to restaurant staff and that was it for him. Shannon is looking old, or maybe just puffy from all that Vodka she likes. Her time maybe up soon. Some lady was arguing with me about the house not being echo-friendly but she must not realize how hard it is to build on the coast. It takes over a year of permits and coding requirements as everything has to be approved by both the city and the coastal commission.
My problem with Heather and Terry is not that they apparently have a gazillion dollars, we live in the US where that can happen.
My issue is with her attitude and her quest for ATTENTION. There are so many homeless people in California. It’s a crisis. That doesn’t mean she can’t build a monstrosity of a house if they can afford it. It simply means she should not brag about it. The house is beautiful and it speaks for itself. I’ve been to rich people’s houses before. They were never never brag about literally anything in the house. I just try to pretend that it is a perfectly normal house. None of the greatness of it all is ever mentioned. It is evident. I was never offered a tour like it was The Louvre.
OMG! I am watching the new Hallmark movie where they have an actor with Autism and someone just told him to look him in the eye. That is a HUGE NOE! Sorry. Moving on.
It is very Nouveau Riche to be all LOOK HOW RICH I AM! I had no idea my Internet friends were rich until they sent me a few thing here and there, LIKE RICH PEOPLE PORKCHOPS, and every supply I ever needed for the pandemic. We were friends well before I figured it out.
Heather and the husband both seem horrible to wait staff. One of my exes was someone I met online. We went to Fuddruckers, which is like a kind of hamburger place but good hamburgers you order at the counter but the seating is nicer than a fast food place, they have TVs they bring out your orders, and he was an asshole. I thought about fleeing when he was rude to the person taking his order. To be honest I thought about fleeing when I saw him pull up in the parking lot. I should have. I could have saved myself a lot of psychological trauma. Instead, I just drank a lot.
If a man is rude to waitstaff. Leave immediately. That is all I am saying. Ramona calling people the help, I think is just an old people term. She is an asshole to everyone. That’s different to being an asshole to just “the help.”
I’ve also been to people’s house’s who are kinda fancy. And they never give me a tour of their house including the towel warmers. It’s just tacky. Down here in the south, the real rich people drive F-150 pickups not Lamborghinis. Or F-350s or whatever it is now.
I find it funny that Heather hasn’t changed one bit despite being pretty much shamed off the show only a couple of years ago. I kinda respect that. She’s definitely leaning into herself. The house is nuts.
Overall the episode was a bit contrived. All these people meeting for the “first time”, the ridiculous “Shannon told me this secret yesterday so I am now done with this scheming bitch can’t hold it in no longer” storyline etc. But I do like the new people. The doctor with the shirtless stay-at-home dad, the girl with the lawyer husband who reminds me of Brandi Glanville, and the girl who sued Terri lol.
Emily looks gorgeous. Just stunning. A distraction and attraction in itself. Shane saying he thought he’d be dead by now is very funny to me. Shannon is good old Shannon and doesn’t look too bad either. Gina is a true idiot that lost sight of herself under a dumb blonde persona. I can feel my brain contracting with every word that comes out of her vapid mouth. Might be an indication of Bravo moving away from satire and more into Twitter-fan territory. Activism and relatability the next chapter of housewives? an audience that relates to Gina would be quite the departure of what the audience used to be. I’m getting carried away lol. Maybe I’m getting older.
Anyway, it looks good. Can’t wait to see how it all goes down.
I gotta disagree re: Heather. Heres why: First of all, I reckon production would’ve pushed her (not saying she didn’t love every minute of it) to show off the house to the fullest extent, as they know thats what the viewers want.
Secondly, the juxtaposition between Heather’s boujie wealth flaunting makes Gina’s normalness go from boring to cute and charming, because she’s having the genuine reactions us normal folk would have. Gina is the perfect foil for Fancy Pants! I look forward to an Odd Couple relationship lol!
I’m back into OC after losing interest over the last couple seasons…
Wow, each season gets worse. When both Vicki and Tamra left , I said I wasn’t going to watch. I lied I tried last year and got maybe 2 episodes in. Thought I’d give it a try since Heather was back , maybe a mistake. Gina kissing Heathers ass looking for her 15 minutes with Heather throws Shannon under the bus for something so stupid. Heather makes a big deal out of nothing by shutting down the party. Saying all this food be waisted, pack it all and get your but down to donate food on to homeless, if not feed your guest before kicking them out. Really stupid to punish the rest of the party. Felt like Mom punishing her kids, party over and no food for you. Seems like it’s going to be a bash Shannon Season. Bring back Vicki and Tamra already, please I have had enough of Gina. Dr Jen and her Husband who acts like Paris Hilton carting dog around. Seems he rather smooch his dog than his own wife. Dr Jen could do so much better , he constantly disrespects her by not paying any attention to her. Still beautiful and young to move on but she’ would probably have to pay him too much spousal support and get her own nanny. I watch all the housewives shows but Miami and Cheshire. I even watched the Canadian Toronto series which is now seeming to be the same caliber of Oc now. That says a lot . Oc has gone downhill.
