Here we go with another abbreviated RHOC recap since there is only so much of the Heather Dubrow show I can tolerate. Survivor was FANTASTIC and also sad tonight. Anyway let’s move on over to the OC!
So Much Screaming!
We are starting in the middle of Shannon and Gina arguing at the ridiculous brain scan party. I’m Shannon’s side. But, the whole argument is ridiculous. Gina feels bad for Shannon? Shannon is hurt and angry. Then, Heather says that she expected the phone call in NYC to be all about her, and her crap. Noella sticks up Shannon. YAY! Heather bitches about Shannon always injecting her opinion. Hypocrite much? John is very upset with Gina and her nasty comments. He says they are done with her along with a few more choice words.

Heather goes at Shannon for another “private talk.” Or another chance to scream at Shannon. Literally every pretentious comment that Heather makes to Shannon is really Heather’s exact behavior. It makes my blood boil. Noella has a Teacher Of Conscious Relationship come over. It’s some of the dumbest TV therapy scenes I’ve ever seen. A few scenes later, Noella finds out her dad died. Gina invites a Psychic Healer to come the the demon that possessed her in the sweat lodge when Noella almost died. Okay, THIS is officially the dumbest TV therapy ever. I stand corrected. Gina blames her attack on Shannon on “the demon.”
Here Comes Another Arbnb Trip
Emily has been designated the hostess for an Aspen trip. But first, it looks like Gina is having a party to celebrate herself or something. Emily is also going to redo her wedding photos. She wants to avoid the vow renewal curse though. She’s even buying a new wedding dress. Help me out here people. How often do you look at your wedding pictures?

But, first we have to go to Gina’s celebration of herself party (by Bravo). Apparently, she is launching something. Heather arrives with another loyalty payment. This time is it a Chanel wallet … oh it might be a necklace..that commemorates their New York trip. Le sigh. We all know what happens after love bombing. Apparently, Gina has a “skin care line” just like 80% of the housewives. Who buys cosmetics from housewives? Shannon and John show up at Gina’s party with a gift. Jen sent Noella flowers due to the loss of her dad. Shannon talks to Gina’s mother who thanks Shannon for getting her daughter a good lawyer and keeping her ass out of jail. YAY acknowledgement for Shannon!
Gina gives yet another launch speech. She cries about her supportive boyfriend Travis. So, why is Gina still so bitchy? And just when I think we are going to end the episode on a happy note. We fast forward ahead five days only to find Gina and Shannon screaming at each other in a department store.
Next Week: The same fights return: Shannon v. Gina and Heather continues to attack Noella. And lots of it happens in a Sprinter to Aspen.
My gawd, are they really about to go full RHOSLC on us with the Sprinter fights? Yeezus, take the wheel already!
Also, feel free to wake me up when Gina has her own interesting storyline.
I don’t know what we’d be able to watch on this show if it weren’t for Noella and all her “extra drama” that’s keeping me interested in RHOC at all this year.
TT, thanks for recapping so we don’t have to watch! My ears can’t take the screaming hysterics 😵💫
I still feel like Noella is being picked on, I mean she was on the show for a hot minute before she gets divorce papers and now her father dies! I give her credit for even showing up!
Her father died in 2012!!! How is it possible she reconnected with him during the pandemic?!!!!!
He father did NOT die in 2012. That was another man with the same name.
Gina has lost weight and gotten a good stylist and hair cut -she feels confident and doesnt like that she was not always like this.
The problem is that she’s not respectful to Shannon who had resources and shared them with her. Whether she says thank you is not the point-she acts ungrateful almost resentful of Shannons help.
BINGO….I think you hit the nail on the head!!! That’s exactly how Gina acts. Shannon reminds her of a different time when she was struggling and wasn’t very put together and I think she resents Shannon for it because Shannon reminds her of how she used to be….?!?! Or maybe I’m completely wrong and Gina just isn’t a very nice person. But I think you’re on to something.
Exactly, Shannon is a reminder of what she once needed. She, instead of graciously accepting that (and we all need it help of some kind) she is sweeping it under the rug. Shannon , for her part, doesn’t need to bring it up to her. But Gina is so awful.
Emily seems to be the pot stirrer in every episode. Everything about her is fake including her pretend love for her husband. She’s no real friend to any of the ladies and she proves it by systematically throwing them under the bus.
Heather is so full of herself that it makes me want to gag. She does however buys expensive gifts for her minions aka Gina.
Oh yes! There are SOOOOOO many unlikable women on this show It reminds me of Dallas and the Cast that was just so not likable. BUT at least on Dallas they had some moments of fun. OC are full of non-existent drama like BH (pre Erica’s mess). If there lives are so boring they could turn on the TV see what the rest of the world is going through…help them out and make THAT a story line.
Classic Noella moment of the night….”too much!!!” As heather walks away in a huff. Oh yes Heather’s boxing injuries, can we have a match with her and Leah, and leah kicks her ass, pretty please, call it the new tennis match episode😁
Why does Noelle get barked at by Heather for chiming in when basically all of the Housewife shows are people constantly butting in with their two cents? After all, Noella is just trying to get her share of screen time too, just like hulky Emily with her sandwich props and Gina and her bitchy rants about Shannon. Being a repetitive, self absorbed bore on these shows seems like a basic requirement to be a cast member. It’s certainly not more annoying coming from Noella than it is from anyone else.
Point. Set. Match.
The truth is true.
Yes!
I’m also not Catholic but I didn’t quite get why Gina who says she’s Catholic needed to bring in a psychic?
It is against the Catholic religion to dabble in anything that could be “sent from the devil”, I went to Catholic School and they do quite the number on you.
That’s exactly what I thought, NancyintheSmokies. That was one of the dumbest displays of quackery I’ve ever seen.
I am going to become a psychic. I will pull bad things out of you for an amazing introductory offer of – um, $500?! Call me at 1-800-DUMBASS
I tried calling the number, 1-800-DUMBASS, but I guess you didn’t predict I would call because you didn’t answer. hahahahaha
They seem to go see a psychic when the storylines are dull on every franchise. Much like the team building/trust workshop on Jersey.
Credit to Jen, of all people, for saying that perhaps Gina cares more about Shannon’s approval than she thinks, rendering Heather speechless.
This season, we’ve been treated to a sweat lodge, a brain scan party and now “Extractions”. I was so embarrassed for that lady throwing things out the window, lol.
I buried the lead of this episode which is that Ryne changed into a new party shirt.
I read a couple of days ago that Noella’s dad actually died 10 years ago so I’m really confused about this storyline…
Wiki says Christopher Nance, Noella’s dad and LA weather man, died of complications from sickle cell, in 2012. Ten years ago.
There’s another Christopher Paul Nance who died in September,2012. His obituary is online. He lived in myrtle Beach. He is not Noellas dar. I think Wiki is using that info for Noellas dad. Anyone can edit a wiki page.
Well, that would explain it, Nobody Cares. I was terribly confused about that situation. Wikipedia needs to make some corrections to their page.
Unpopular opinion, but I can’t stand Noella. She “manifests” things. Yes, putting a profile on sugardaddy.com manifests a rich man. I really hope she doesn’t come back next season or I’m going to have to add Orange County to the nope pile. I was excited to see that RHOM is coming back to Bravo though. I’ve missed it, but I’m not willing to add another streaming service to watch it.
I think Gina is doing amazing! Her haircut is fresh, she has a great boyfriend, great relationship with her ex and his girlfriend, launching a new “Housewives business”, (who doesn’t). Bravo actually gets part of the earnings of any HW’s ventures they launch while on the show. Bethanney did not have that negotiated, and after her huge success with Skinnygirl they got on that real quick. There is something called the Bethanney clause? Tamara would know.
I actually love my wedding pictures because I wore my mom’s dress she married in in 1946. I used to try that dress on all the time when I was young and I finally got to wear it! My niece wore it also. I’m weird.
Shannon did say on WWHL that Emily was the pot stirrer and that is definitely proving to be true. She runs right back and reports to either Heather or Gina. I mean immediately.
That sweat lodge I do believe was the real thing. Tamara, when you said Noella’s was the dumbest TV Therapy, I thought Oh wait for Gina’s! That was some straight up bullshit. Season 8 was running on Bravo when I got home, I just left it while I was cleaning the house. Heather was much more likable then, I guess Terry being such a douche made her seem a more sympathetic character.
I need to start watching Survivor, I used to love it and IDKY I stopped watching it.
Totally agree that it was impossible to understand what anyone was saying with the women shrieking over one another.
It is so tiring that all these “events” are staging grounds for two or more HWs to have a “private discussion” that devolves into a screaming match. Are we ever going to have actual storylines other than the Heather Show or someone flogging a product? I googled Gina’s skin care line and can’t find any current articles/reviews of it, other than it appears to be one of those subscription scams that are impossible to cancel out of, and they make returns impossible as well. Does anyone know anyplace it’s sold?
Gina is an ungrateful bitch. I have seen before instances where someone is in dire straights and who cried and begged for help and then became mad, resentful and unwilling to admit that someone helped them. I think Gina wants to think she did everything on her own. Shannon’s parents — the only normal people to ever appear on screen — recognized and thanked Shannon. Unbelievably, Gina makes some snide remark about that.
I loathe Heather. That. Is. All. She is pretty much the only HW who raises my blood pressure and makes me wish for violence.
I read the return policy out of curiosity, too. If you go all in and buy their regimen for your skin type you can’t even open it to try it because all items in the regimen must be returned together and unopened.
I don’t want to trigger you into violence, but Heather telling Shannon to “Put the cheese down” followed by her complimenting her on her looks made me ill. Heather is horrible.
Gina is to Shannon as Luann is to Bethany.
I agree with you 100% on everything you just said!
Gina and skincare? Uhm why? The only thing worse would be if she did hair care.
I used to not mind Heather’s know it all ness but it’s crossed over to cruelty. Maybe it was before too but more cleverly concealed.
Amsterdam- yes. Heather’s devolving and bordering on something quite disconcerting. But I would contend she’s always been cruel. I’ll never forget her gang up and prolonged mockery of Kelly in the van ride. I think she’s taking their admittedly financial loss WAY hard. Maybe she could admit that, and get real about what’s really eating her? Doubtful.
Btw, I meant a reply to Amsie ….. ah the wonders of auto correct. SMH
Also why can’t any of these women cook? Even Shannon the “chef” damn near catches her QVC heat and eat crap on fire. I love to cook and try new recipes but the prep and cleanup I’m not a fan of….
Amsie, you hit the nail on the head. It really irritates me when women on these shows seem to take pride in not being able to cook. As far as I’m concerned, if you can read, you can cook. Just open a damn cookbook of look up a recipe on line. I
I don’t cook. I take pride in it. I can read, as it’s what I do for a living as an attorney, but it certainly doesn’t mean I can cook. I’m not sure why any of this irritates you.
Hoping they show Gina the door this year. She is not Real housewife material. She as very full of herself on WWHL and I am sure will hear from Tamra and Kelly.
Wish it was in their contracts they could not hawk stuff.
Its a bore.
Why do I feel that this confrontation between Shannon and Gina is manufactured, along with the Heather and Gina’s “friendship”. It’s the most inane argument I’ve heard.
How insufferable is Heather calling out Shannon to stay away from the cheese! Ugh!
I love that that Noella doesn’t bow down to Heather, she’s certainly not impressed.
The best part of the show was Emily ‘s adorable little boy reaction to his big boy suit.
Hmmm now that you said that I’m getting Megan’s first interaction vibes about how shannon starts charities. The fight outcome was simular to the ego shown here. Really these storylines are pretty lame at best.
Gina reminds me now of Luann not being humble and thankful to Bethany and Barbara for SAVING her life. Once Gina found some happiness and success Shannon has become collateral damage. How dare Shannon say she helped me, I did it all by myself! And why does she keep saying things about Shannon “going to the bar” when it’s pretty much everyone else. Terry walks in, where’s the bar? Emily never doesn’t have a drink. And Emily needs to STFU…she spews everything to everyone. If anyone is thirsty it’s her. Not cute not funny. Jen, well just needs to go the wayside with can’t remember her name.. and Gina your posture sucks, just saying your shoulders need to take a break from the hunch and your head needs to be reconnected to your neck, sorry but it looks so uncomfortable! Lovin John, Shannon’s beau! You go !
What did Shannon do to deserve such poor treatment from Gina? From what I have seen Shannon has been supportive of Gina and Gina turned super nasty to Shannon
I believe that Gina cannot handle the fact that Shannon helped her so much and she didn’t do it on her own. Also once you’re up Heathers behind, everyone is now below you….I liked Heather with Vicki and Tamera, her uppityness was a great contrast to them and she was fun and funny, now she is just nasty and condescending. I think she is in it for the Heather show but needed at least ONE friend to keep it going and picked the weakest link.
I kinda get where she’s coming from though.
I put my close friends on a pedestal and sing the praises of how they’ve been there for me, helped me, saved me… but if they started singing those praises on their own to anyone who would listen it would taste a little different, if you know what I mean?
I wouldn’t care! She was going to jail THAT DAY had it not been for Shannon, in front of her kids! Live with that in your brain! Still doesn’t give Gina the right or reason to treat her like crap and say she’s jealous. Gina NOBODY is jealous of you and no one is buying your skin care! She is up Heather’s behind and Heather needs ONE friend on the show….and look who she picked! Not the woman who has possibly more money than her, the one who has the least! Hmm….
Just curious has anyone every tried, worn, ate any of the products these ladies sell. Leave Bethanny, Heather NY, Rinna off this list. I mean like Gina or Ramona’s lotions, ooh Alexis’s sexy clothing line, GC bags😁, shannon’s salmon and cheese???
I can’t stand Heather.
I Cannot stand Heather
Standing of Heather, Not I
Nay! Thine stand of Heather is Non.
ifn I wuz ta stand, it wid not be fer heather.
It feels like every over enunciated word that TAPS from her high priced sculpted lips has been Torn from a 1970s Made for TV drama script that was trying to one up the Carringtons. what is WRONG with bravo that they have allowed her to whore out the entire franchise as her personal audition platform??
Dear GOD make it stop.
Oh. & Gina being a fair weather friend shocks whom?? Gina trolls the group at the start of each season, to find the ass her lips will be best attached for the most favorable results.
You know a franchise is awful when Shannon is your favorite
Have we figured out what Jen’s “brain treatment” thingy was all about? I looked on her website and don’t see it under any of the services
Sounds like a pile of crap. I don’t even remember what it was supposed to accomplish.
Maybe it was to get in a plug for the brain injury “foundation” she started…
OMG I ❤️ your take on HEATHER!! Spot on and did anyone catch Heather’s grotesque expression while talking crap about how Shannon is so happy (sarcastically) karma karma karma. I screen shotted it and posted in on FB and it has BLOWN UP even Kelly’s bissshhh a s s STOLE IT and reposted it!!
I’d post it here but looks like I can’t post images?
I’m really confused about Noallas dad, Christopher Nance. I remember him from TV weather in LA. Christopher Nance the weatherman died in. 2012 so I’m just perplexed. Anyone?
