Tonight is mercifully the last RHOC Recap of the season. If there was ever a season that I watched so y’all don’t have to, it was this one. Heather Dubore makes my skin crawl. I love Shannon and the way the cast members stuck their lips to Durbore’s taint all season was just as discussion of that metaphor. And, I also love Noella. She’s kind of like a broken baby bird, and yet, she manages to get under Heather Dubore’s skin on every episode, knowing full well that her sycophants will come for her. She’s great for the show. I used to love Emily, but her job on this reunion seems to be interrupting anyone else trying to speak if they are not licking some Dubore butt. I’m sorry not sorry. It’s just been an unbearable season. Let’s get this over with.

We pick with Shannon and Gina fighting. Gina starts off coming for John for defending Shannon. Not to Gina but in a private discussion with Shannon. Gina and Emily both come for Shannon. Suddenly, Gina and Shannon seem to have an odd truce. Then, Andy Cohen has the audacity to say it is Noella versus everybody like it is her fault she was bullied all season. Oh wow! Jen speaks. She thinks Noella is pretentious. Good Grief. Is this over yet? Andy is really asking Noella mean questions to pit her against the other. Even Jen opens her mouth for the first time to trash Noella. Heather starts screaming at Noella. Noella says “don’t make me say it Heather!”
Mention It All!
After dramatic wait through the commercial, Noella says that Nicole told her that Terri did botch her surgery and actually refiled the case and won and got a lot of money out of it. PLEASE MENTION that Heather and Terry ALLEDGEDLY paid Nicole off to leave the show. Heather denies it saying if a settlement was paid it would appear on the California Medical Board site. Well, sure unless an agreement was reached under the table. Andy defends Heather again because she is his favorite current housewife. It’s super obvious. He has for a long time wanted her “Jewish embryos” that are in storage. Maybe he got one for Ben? Who knows? But he has a hard on for her. Why did Nicole drop her case? Probably for the payoff.

Andy is actually joining in on attacking Noella. Isn’t he supposed to be the host? Now, he is Heather’s bestie defending Heather? Andy is like the seventh housewife! Finally he asks Emily a question about being such a cunt all season toward Noella. Noella is crying again. I hate these people. Andy asks if she could do the season what would she do differently. She said she would never have done the show if she knew how it would all go. She’s still crying and it is a lot for her to have in public. Surgery talk blah, blah, blah.
It’s A Doggie Dog World
Next we move on to Shannon. Also I have some said news. Archie is about to go meet Banjo in doggie heaven. 🙁 He was my favorite being on this show. I would say that Banjo would love him but Banjo liked twinks and twinks loved Banjo. Small male dogs would flock to Banjo’s penis and go to town. The owners would be mortified, and I would be embarrassed. But, hey he was a good looking well endowed boy. I’m not sure if Archie is still with us or not. Now back to this boring episode. At least we get some good Shannon news. Shannon says she has no communication with David. Andy asks who her hall pass is. She says she is monogamous and doesn’t need one. Everyone else shares. Noella’s was Janet Jackson.

Who is your celebrity crush/hall pass? I have two George Clooney or Lenny Kravitz. Leaning more toward Lenny but it depends on the mood. We are going to talk about Jen now but not about how she is the newest Felon by Bravo. So what else is interesting about her? She’s a lying liar who lies. Nobody cares.
Stank Face, Stank Behavior
During a Noella segment about taking the nicest room, as I think she should have, Heather starts screaming at Noella again. Because, Heather. Andy starts screaming for everyone to shut up and Heather interrupts him to say, “I am saying something!” Literally ZERO PEOPLE watching this trash reunion care what you have to say Heather. Andy again tries to host the show and Heather shuts him down. Then, she says after the final Aspen scene as soon as the cameras went down, Noella came up to her and said, “Hey, can we start over?” That’s called extending the olive branch to someone who has bitten your head off all season. Heather screams, “NOW? TOO LATE!” Emily of course backs her up. What happened to normal Emily?

Andy finally takes the hosting job back from Heather. Andy says that when Heather said Noella was facing her own karma (divorce, loss of her father), Heather literally says “she started it.” instead of apologizing. How tacky and arrogant. Gina chimes in to agree. Noella says she was being screamed at by Heather and people were ganging up on her when she was going through a terrible time. It had been FOUR DAYS since her father died. Regarding that, Gina said, “shit happens.” What a cunt she has turned into in record time. He dad was estranged from her for most of her life. Until she was modeling and more in his industry when they got closer. At least Jen said something nice and she sent flowers.
It Is Finish-ED
Andy loved the song they did (see below if you missed it the video isn’t that clear). He said Noella looked just like Prince! Just the mention of Prince makes me sad. I remember announcing his death here and people didn’t believe me. I was one of the first people to post about it. It was an incredibly sad day I remember going to the grocery store shortly there after and wondering how people were just going about their day without crying. This song actually got me through Banjo’s passing.
At the end they all had to say something positive about someone else. Emily sucked up to Heather, Heather pretended like she wants to get to know Noella as if she didn’t have an entire season to be kind. Noella says that she really appreciates Jen because she has so much chronic pain and works on. Jen says if drama was a drug she would be a pharmacy and she appreciates her. Shannon is kind to Gina who doesn’t deserve it and says she is proud of her. Gina says that Shannon is an incredibly resilient woman and she has never met anyone who could push her buttons more. Heather says something about Emily not getting a compliment so she gives her another one. Then, they drink out of pineapples and this shitty season ends. Thanks for reading!
Ha, it sounds like we’re in perfect alignment on RHOC this season! IMHO Noella proved again why she deserves another season, and Shannon proved yet again why RHOC needs her Shannon-igans to keep the show interesting.
If Jen actually addresses the lawsuit(s) and WTF is really going on with her marriage next season, I might be willing to make peace with another season with her. Heather has been hella annoying this season, but she also accidentally became a compelling villain this season, so I can handle another season – as long as the producers stop coddling her. As for Emily and Gina, this is probably a good time to send them off on their merry way.
I still don’t really want to see Vicki or Tamra return next season. But if I have to pick one to return, I guess I’ll allow Tamra to come back so we can see how she navigates her changing dynamics with Heather and Shannon. Otherwise, they might need to do to RHOC what they’re doing to RHONY. This show needs another reboot, and it may just be better for everyone if they split it in two and send one or both of the new RHOC shows to Peacock.
I totally agree with you, cannot stand these three bullies! Heather the worst of the bunch.
This season was excruciating.
Heather is hateful. She couldn’t stomach Noella not kissing her a— like the rest of her sycophants.
I think even in a settlement a doctor would need to report that to the medical board. Doctors and attorneys have certain duties when it comes to reporting to their various overseeing bodies. Someone found the register of actions and it shows her complaint was dismissed. Possibly his malpractice insurance paid her a settlement. Still may make Terry liable to report to the board. But we’ll never know. Nobody has found anything regarding a second complaint being raised. That said, if the first one resulted in a settlement she couldn’t bring another lawsuit because you sign away your rights to sue if you accept a settlement. Let be real here, Noella has a shaky relationship with the truth. I’ll refer everyone to her “Just because I didn’t see it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.” Which she said right after saying she “saw it” with her own eyes.
I totally agree. First Noella heard it, then she saw it, then somebody told her. Which is it, honey? Geesh.
You’re not paying attention if you cannot see the rich and powerful know how to get around the rules. I’d put money on Nicole getting a payoff in some form that was not reported.
And, FYI, Heather said she never touched the camera and we all saw that.
I agree that Andy’s favoritism toward Heather, Emily, and Gina was on full display. When he corrected Shannon about the put a pin in it comment about Gina’s ego I thought what a smirky prick he is. He seemed to be poking Shannon this season like the others. I thought Gina blew Shannon’s boyfriend’s angry comments about her out of proportion. After, he didn’t get in her face and scream at her when he said them. However, I generally dislike it when the house husbands chime in with their two cents and think they should just butt out for the most part. In fact, I stopped watching RHONJ because the husbands became complete hams and get way too much camera time. Overall, very boring OC season. If this show should even return, it desperately needs to be recast.
Agree, don’t like bullies
I agree with everything you wrote HOWEVER I love those Jersey hams!😹🍖😹🍖😹🍖😹😋
I think Andy was poking all of them when he defined what “put a pin in it” actually means. They all had it wrong, with three different explanations.
I frequently find the men more interesting than the women on these housewives show, especially NJ. I don’t mind their participation at all. I’d much rather see Shane than Emily.
“shaky relationship with the truth” is another way of saying, “never let the truth get in the way of a good story.” i know tamara likes noella but she still makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck.
I agree. Noella is hard to watch because her stories change and she is grasping at anything to have a storyline.
Seems like they could have had Nicole on to clear everything up…. Ha!
I wish Noella would have asked Heather “why would Nicole tell me she got a big settlement” and “why aren’t you mad at Nicole for saying that if it’s a lie.” Heather just kept talking over Noella to deflect from that bit of info.
The gaslighting of Shannon for the first half tonight was disgusting. Heather, Emily and Gina are just mean, and the reunion did not do anything to change my opinion on that.
Yes I agree. Emily turns everything around. Making it seem Shannon said or intended to say something else. Then her and Gina get together and say mean nasty stuff. And the verbal attack begins. I truly was disappointed and disgusted by them. Heather wow every get school by her. She kept the story on her.
Andy was no better to Shannon either. He really is a tool
Your first paragraph regarding your opinions is exactly how I feel. Shannon is the only likable one outside of Noella and she’s so broken and been treated so abhorrently.
Thank you for recapping because I did not watch. I thought I hated Vicki, but I absolutely loathe Heather.
Maybe it’s just me, but when I am bitching about somebody to my husband, if he responds with “fuck her, who does she think she is?” I am happy and feel supported. After all, I am “venting” to him and he is “venting” back. We are all entitled to our opinions and I didn’t find John to be aggressive. How Gina treated Shannon this season is what I would call “aggressive” and pretty much everyone but Shannon has been “aggressive” on this reunion. I’m triggered by all the bitchiness on display tonight and really grumpy about this whole season. Heathers return had been a big disappointment for me…her smug looks appear to be much more genuine than her fancy facade . The mask is off and all the ugliness is on display.
I couldn’t agree with you more! And then Gona’s dumbass having the nerve to say “no man I know would speak that way” ummm did you forget about the DV dispute with your ex husband? I’m glad Shannon had the class to not bring that up. Made me love her more when she just knowingly smirked at her.
Ha!! ALL of the above!!
Emily’s reunion look reminded me of those old time roller derby women. Her breasts looked like they were about to explode.
Omg, you nailed it🤭🤣
Clearly nobody told Heather that pointing her boney witch finger at someone is rude. Even her mannerisms are annoying/rude/haughty. I hate Andy more and that’s saying a lot because I’ve NOT been a fan of his. Jeff Lewis was so right, she’s a terrible person. Thank the baby Jesus this hag fest is finally over. I don’t care who is cast if this franchise is still on next season-PUT A PIN IN IT. I won’t be participating by watching and it will be hilarious when the ratings fail because of Heather’s return. She has zero self awareness. I wish nothing but failure & embarrassment for her going forward and hope she takes her butt plugs, Gina and Emily with her. The fact they didn’t expose Jen made her useless. (I did find her drug/pharmacy analogy curious given allegations) and I think Noella must have signed an nda because she was hinting at both the Nicole thing and Jen’s practice and she’s not one to censor her words. I wish she’d gone scorched earth on both of them. Either that or she has skeletons too. The screeching in unison was unbearable and my kids were asking me to turn down my tv because it was so bad so I didn’t watch the end of the episode. Rather than go back to watch I just deleted it and future recordings. The mean ones truly don’t ever stfu. I’ll say it again, I hope Shannon leaves voluntarily for her and her family’s sake. She owes none of them shit, plus she apologized all season whilst being the target of their collective wrath. I’m relieved it’s over!
Great post! Love Shannon and Noella. The rest can go fly a kite somewhere. Heather is the WORST then Gina then Emily. WTH happen to Emily? She is despicable. Never liked Gina from the very beginning. She tries to hard for the camera’s attention. Emily needs a stylist. Her dress was horrific and those knockers poking out made her look like a cow. She is a big woman and doesn’t need to wear ruffles.
Loved Shannon’s look and Andy did a great job of insulting Posh when he said Heather looked like her. Where did that come from? Did I say I literally cannot stand Heather and hopes she refuses to show up next season cuz I know Andy will not fire her. Wonder what she has on him?????
What an insult toward Victoria Beckham calling Heather The Boor Posh. YUCK. She is so annoying. Do something with that nasty hair.
Totally agree that Emily needed a stylist; some people just have zero clue about fashion or what’s flattering. I did like Shannon’s last minute dress & I liked the lavender one Gina wore on WWHL. I searched for them and each were in the $600-800 range! My search came up with some website that tracks all their dresses and Shannon’s was the least expensive of the reunion dresses, Heather’s was a house payment, plus you know she must have a tailor $$$. (Interestingly the only omission was Jen’s muppet craft project lol). BUT, it got me thinking that since they’re responsible for paying for their own clothes, that their net income is not much if you back out what they spend on clothes, shoes, accessories and glam/stylists in a season. That said, Shannon could afford to leave and Gina is probably doomed to have the six blended kids bunking together and her dream of college for all six is delusional. She is not very smart, that one, and I doubt very good with her $. Heather is probably not even breaking even with her RHOC paychecks vs what she spends on labels alone which tells me she’s only on the show because she’s a narcissist and not a good enough actress to get a real acting job. At least Andy could admit his narcissism lol. I’d keep watching if they just all formed their own AA group and filmed that.
Also, I wish I’d thought of the nickname Screetch for Emily sooner! And yea, Posh Heather is not.
Snoozefest, glad it’s over.
I’ll say it: I miss Shannon, Vicki, Tamra and Kelly. Their dynamic was unique and fun to watch. Emily and Gina are awful. Jen who? Keep noella and ask the others back.
RIP big dick Banjo. May Archie pass easily.
I LOVE Sometimes it Snows in April! Thanks TT 💜💜💜
Jewish embryos? Your antisemitism is showing.
You sure do get offended easily. Andy Cohen was looking for “Jewish embryos” He’s Jewish. Heather is Jewish and had two extra embryos. He would ask about them every time she was on WWHL.
Stop looking for a reason to be offended everywhere. Some times you are just uninformed. It makes you look stupid.
Either offended hasn’t watched the show and/or is a troll. Offended didn’t deserve a response from you, IMO.
Andy and Heather have openly talked about her “jewish embryos” multiple times over the years.
. TT didn’t just make that up Pay Attention
Sometimes it Snows in April is my favorite song by Prince ❤🙏🥰
NOoooo, about Archie!! This is a Great recap. Thank you for taking it for the team!! I agree with literally everything you said. I am looking forward to BH, because masochist. Thanks Tamara!!
I agree that Heather wasn’t the easiest to watch this season but I’ll cut her some slack because the franchise literally was on her shoulders. That’s a lot of pressure.
Noella can hold her own and doesn’t resort to vulgar language like Kelly. She clearly was going through a lot while filming. Her dad passed away and her husband ghosted her, but you know what she still showed up. She deserves another season.
I enjoyed Shannon this season, she knows how to have fun and she seems very happy with her new man. I guess it’s all that sex she is having now. You go girl!
Gina and Emily need to go. They are past their expiry dates.
Jen, she fades into the background however, I do want to see her illegal filler lawsuits play out on the show.
I’d like to see Tamara back.
Please don’t tell me that Gina was not specifically called out on her “Shit happens” response to Noella’s father’s death. I find it impossible to believe that Andy genuinely likes Gina, as she has none of the qualities (for better or worse) that generally get him into ass-kissing mode – so I can only conclude that one of the concessions Andy agreed to make in the secret contract Heather forced him to sign in his own blood would be her control of all questions and topics raised about her allies on the show.
Heather thinks she is better than the rest of the other ladies and has perfect grammar yet she speaks in uptalk. This is so wrong. If you want to be taken seriously, stop speaking in this manner. It is so declasse, Heather.
So this reunion was as uncomfortable to watch as the whole season. Andy was so not impartial and was clearly rude to both Shannon and Noella. I felt so bad for them. I would be extremely defensive too against these mean girls.
Gina and Emily are quickly becoming as unlikable as Heather. Jen just doesn’t even bring an iota of anything but turmoil. This series is going to go the way of NY if they don’t stop.
My celebrity crush is and forever Mather McConaughey. Aklways…….
Matthew McConaughey. Glasses….I need glasses.
Alright alright alright, I regret to inform you that he doesn’t wear deodorant and has BO in real life. Sorry!
My hubby has eczema sometimes under his arms, can’t wear any at times. Just get McConaughey in the shower first😉
I already knew that and I am more than ok with it 😍
LOL! I have to agree that he’s hot. My cousin was in his friend group in college-she was bffs with his roommate and I’ve heard stories lol. He has always been super cute and nice evidently. And his mom is evidently adorable. His no deodorant thing is about a totally all natural lifestyle he started many years ago. She also said that his laid back alright alright alright demeanor is authentic. He’s also aged very nicely! 🙂
He also doesn’t brush his teeth. I’ve never looked at him the same after I saw that interview.
So I guess Jen went on Twitter saying that all allegations were false and the woman had been arrested over them? Have you heard anything about any of this TT or is it just more smoke screens from a potentially guilty party!
I don’t think the person could have gotten her investigated by DEA and other agencies if she had no proof. Jen is a lying liar who lies.
When Heather tried to compliment Noella at the end, didn’t she say something like, “If I ever see you again, blah blah blah”? Maybe I’m imagining that but if I am right, it sounds like Heather made sure Noella got the axe. But then again, I could be imagining that. My brain doesn’t work very well anymore!
You are not imagining that. It happened.
I’m so grateful that you were here to watch this season for us, TT. I’d literally rather watch paint dry than this show anymore. I’m also 100% with you that Archie, Shannon, and Noella are its only redeeming factors!
Oh, AND, my celebrity crush, always and forever: Paul Mc Cartney.
Thanks for watching this torture show for us.
I just want to say I miss prince….
Same. It was probably the second most upsetting after Anthony Bourdain. I loved them both so much. I was traumatized both times. At least I had time to prepare for Banjo’s passing.
Have you watched Roadrunner? It’s now on demand on cnn. Also the book Bordain, The Definitive Oral Biography by Laurie Woolever (I think it came out in 2021) is good.
Why did this season fail? Queen Heather was brought back with no one to keel her in check. Nicole did sue Terry – that is a fact – maybe he botched her surgery. Even God has an off day.
No one has the backbone to challenge Heather on that or address the rumors that she paid Nicole James to leave the show.
Surgeons can sometimes make mistakes.
Gina and Emily and Jen offer nothing to the show because they won’t call out Heather.
Bring Kelly, Vicki, and Tamra back and get rid of Emily and Gina, or this show has flatlined.
Did anyone catch Heather say to Noella, “You can’t hurdle accusations.” Um, maybe hurl? Dumbass.
I know many of you guys cannot stand Kelly, but her recaps of this show are (to quote marisa tomei in My Cousin Vinny) dead on balls accurate. And her imitations of heather… Never in my life have I watched a show with my face scrunched up in pure disgust over these disgusting little girls with HUGE daddy issues as Heather, Gina, Emily and Jen. Am I missing anyone? The only ones I like are noella and shannon. My god, heathers face when her jaw is sticking out? Is she acting? Please, go home and stay there.
heather is pure evil! the way she spoke to shannon many times this season. seems the entire season/storyline for heather, gina, emily was taking shannon down. andy never cut shannon a bit of slack. heather needs gina as a puppet. so phoney that she would make gina one of her good friends. gina a horrible fit – not from there, too young to be hanging with these women and no $$. seems heather left a few years back cuz she didn’t want terry’s affair revealed. audience definitely over heather, emily, gina and dr. jenn. this show needs a new cast or get some old ones back but please no heather.right now it’s going the way of NY show. heather is evil and a lousy actress to boot. plus it seems her husband is used to being sued and has numerous horrible reviews. mayb that’s why they spend soo much time hawking stuff on home shopping. that’s where their $$ comes from!!!
