The Real Housewives of Orange County season 13 premieres July 16th !

Can’t watch. Fake cancer still pisses me off.

Kelly is fun to watch. She's such a mess

Why is Vicki still on?

If Vicki is still on, there has to be a sex tape involving her, Andy Cohen, and a bag of rodents. Disgusting people.

R3 producers always like to have on at least 1 original cast member and she's the last standing. Vicki enjoys the fact that she's the only original cast member of the original housewives show still going.

Best show on TV

I still miss Brooks big meaty pinga.

r3 what else is she going to do? I think the goal was to have her daughter take her place but she got as big as a house.

Brianna moved with her family to North Carolina

The Bellinos divorcing!

Hypocrite Trampra says Lydia's husband Doug should come out of the closet.

Uh...AHEM..?

Also Heather was FIRED, did not quit. She has been trying to get back on but Bravo told her no. All per Trampra and Shannon.

Can any of you thread darlings start a RHONY VII thread?

Here you go, R13.

TY, r14.

On Bravo's recent Night of 100 Stars special, Vicki disclosed Brooks is now married!

YW, R15.

:o)

Was it known that Meghan’s brother is dick-loving?

Kelly and, to a lesser extent, Shannon are the only two keeping me slightly enthused to continue watching. Vicki and Tamra are SOOOOO played out I don't even acknowledge them anymore as cast members. They're like the two preening old men in the balcony on The Muppets.

[quote] Was it known that Meghan’s brother is dick-loving?

Did you say brother, or husband? lol

Incidentally, I'm guessing a few of their brothers love dick.

There was a bit of speculation about Kelly's brother, and I've often wondered about Vicki's unmarried brother "Billy."

And what about Tamra's husband Eddie. Don't know if Tamra has a brother, but he could be gay as well. haha

Then there's closeted Slade, and Lydia's gay husband. Looks like the only straight ones were Brooks and Jim Bellino.

Boy, what a team!

Andy Cohen ran into Kelly at Fire Island last week lol

Start licking your wounds, DL. You will be missing out on the hottest househusband ever this season.

taglines

Good god, those are awful.

So Shannon finally got divorced? I haven't watched the show since Heather left. Shannon should have divorced him years ago, especially when his crazy mother started attacking her.

Not surprised that Heather was fired. She and her husband are such shameless famewhores that it was weird for her to leave the show all of a sudden, and right when her amazing house was about to be finished. That house was her whole storyline and she never got to show it off. Are there any pics online of her finished house?

Terry looks like one of those old roided orange men now.

That was quite possibly the most boring season premiere of any of the cities. What the FUCK?

Icky Miss Vicky and Tamra will predictably attack the new girls.

Hopefully the new girls will fight back—balls out and dirty. Unlike boring old Jesus Juggs and that bugeyed chick and the giraffe woman who reproduced with the ex baseball gay.

Tamra just flashed her boob on live TV

Ewwww. Put that thing away.

Zero surprise: Rapey Eyes broke up with his Baby Mama. After Tamra and Eddie spent all that money to relocate the BM and the baby to the OC and Tamra worked so hard to establish a relationship with her “daughter” and grand-daughter. Sad.

Hopefully that woman and her baby can find a man with money to make them both forget about Rapey Eyes and his awful mother.

Rapey eyes is also a big ole racist but you didnt hear that from me.

Victoria looks more and more beautiful with each passing season. She looks absolutely stunning. She's a wonderful woman who deserves all the happiness the world has to offer, and I hope her new beau can give that to her.

Vicky^^^you'll talk about your shitty plastic surgery but not about the claims that your semi-costar is a racist? This is why OC is more garbage than the others.

I enjoyed the premiere. All of the women are at transitions in life. The ropes course was hilarious. This show has always worked better when Vicki and Tamra are friends.

“Let’s do a ropes course” is the new “let’s go to a sex toy shop” cliche for reality shows. Bleh.

The transformation of Vicki's face is astonishing. And not in a good way.

Oh, Victoria Troll, never change!

I was laughing so hard at how clumsy and awkward Vicki and Shannon were during the ropes course. Vicki is always looking to pretend to be injured for attention (falling when getting the harness on and then the finger thing) while Shannon continually verbalizes doubt and insecurities for sympathy. They're quite the friend match.

I love how every season they keep mentioning that kween Ricky. Just add him to the show already

Shannon struggling to get the ring off her swollen fingers was hilarious. She looked much better on WWHL though. She's almost back down to the size we saw during her first season.

Kelly wasn't a bitch for a change! Shocker!

Victoria is mesmerizing to watch. She has a certain quality that compels you to pay close attention whenever she appears on screen? Is her ravishing beauty? Her infectious personality? Her on-screen charisma? Her ability to laugh at herself? Possibly a combination? I have to say that there's very little more attractive than a beautiful woman willing to poke fun at herself. Victoria doesn't take herself or her status with the show very seriously; most gorgeous women would. Victoria is the exception.

In the season premiere, Shannon and Trampa are in Shannon's rental-house kitchen, where they are making a big fuss of Shannon's removing her wedding ring. Upon finally removing Shannon's wedding, said ring disappears into a white paper towel (which then disappears into Trampa's pocket).

Trampa and a's new house is Meghan and Jim's former house. That u-shaped (squared) banquet in the kitchen was designed by Meghan. (There were a number of scenes last season that were shot in Meghan's kitchen.)

Not a fan of Tamra's. However, now that the swelling from her face lift has calmed down, she is absolutely stunning. (She was especially pretty when she was walking/hiking with one of newer cast members.)

Kelly's daughter's impersonation of her was to die for! Kelly's daughter, describing Kelly's new dating experience, with an exaggerated nasally voice: "He likes me . . . He likes me . . . He likes me!"

so Briana works full time as a nurse while Ryan is at home looking after the kids. He retired from the military on disability. They're now in his home state of North Carolina which I guess is better than Oklahoma

Brianna has had serious health problems. It seems that Ryan should work and allow Briana to stay home and raise the kids.

Does Eddie miss Jim? I'll bet he does.

Vicki's looks have hit a wall this season. I think she's suffering from sun damage, from all those trips to "the lake" and to Mexico.

Funny how Icky apologizes and makes up with Eddie, and then that same day shows what a shitty friend she is (yet again) by setting up Kelly's ex-husband with another woman!

I'm really liking Emily. I can see why Tamra likes her. She's very down-to-earth, and just.... normal. I hope she stays that way. Her husband Shane is kinda cute, too. In a nerdy way. So Emily says he "comes from money." Really?

The new girl Gina seems clueless. Her husband has an apartment in LA, where he lives during the entire week? And she's not bothered by that at all???? Either he's gay and he's living with his boyfriend, or he's cheating and living with his girlfriend. Whatever the case, he is most definitely fucking someone else. Most. Definitely.

I'm actually curious to see what he looks like. The fact that he hasn't appeared on camera yet, and Gina also hasn't shown his face in the wedding photos, just confirms that he's cheating. The guy definitely has something to hide.

lmao after filming wrapped, so did their marriage. Gina and her husband are divorcing. He's hot too. Shame. Eddie would have liked him

r47, there is a pic of him in this thread if you scroll up. He's definitely too hot not to be fucking some young pussy.

Phwwooaaarrrr! Gina's (ex)-husband is HOTTTTTT

DL needs to get to the bottom of that situation, which will probably be the only interesting thing coming out of the entire season. They get a divorce while/after filming? But did he film at all? His image is taken out of wedding pics? He lives in an apartment on his own all week?

R51 I wouldn't be surprised if he refused to be part of filming and having his image used. Sounds like it could have been a catalyst for the breakup.

Damn, they finally get a real hottie husband on there and we don't get to ogle him.

Wonder if Gina will move back to Lawng Island now.

Eddie fawning over Matt would have been epic tv.

It’s really strange that Emily just decided to get married to a guy she was friends with? Or did I hear that wrong?

In the OC franchise, every husband is assumed gay until proven straight.

Emily is pretty pathetic with her begging to have another baby nonsense. They have 5 kids already (3 of her own)? Bitch, get over it.

It's obvious they have been separated for a while but she wouldn't have gotten cast if she was already single, so they kept it a secret until filming was complete.

The cute ex-husband looks familiar. Gay porn or reality TV?

Is Vicki still pretending that she works selling insurance or has her deadbeat slacker of a son taken it over? Is she still proud of getting strippers off the pole on her cruises?

Is Shannon's ex shacked up with some girlfriend? The only reason for me to watch this shit show is to see her screeching in agony over it and then going to firebomb his car.

Other than that, if Eddie were to finally come out of the closet and hook up with some cute young hustler, watching Tamra's face melt would also be compelling television.

[quote] Gina and her husband are divorcing. He's hot too.

Not a surprise at all, just having watched one episode with her in it. And he is SCORCHING hot. Damn, I wanna know who he was fucking on the side.

You know, Gina's not a bad looking lady. And she has a fun personality. I wonder why he didn't want to be with her?

[quote] if Eddie were to finally come out of the closet and hook up with some cute young hustler, watching Tamra's face melt would also be compelling television

Even more compelling would be Vicki screaming at her, "I TOLD YOU SOOOOO!!!!!!!!" lol

He's got some muscle too.

There is obviously no animosity because they still spend time together judging by her IG.

FUCKKKKK I want him inside me deeply, BADLY

R60 = Eddie and Jim

This has something to do with his work/finances. I would put money on it.

The OC cast has always been the least interesting of all of the franchises. Just think about all of the non-entities they've had along the way. Neither Tamra nor Vicki would have ever made the cut in any other city.

Isn't it pretty well-known in OC that Eddie was a kept boy for an older man and that he even took the guy's name?

Eddie has weird lips.

[quote] Isn't it pretty well-known in OC that Eddie was a kept boy for an older man and that he even took the guy's name?

This is the elephant in the OC room, which no one speaks about.

And what of the rumor where Tamra's best gay friend saw Eddie making out with another guy?

We all know that where there's smoke, there's fire.

On Datalounge, all of the husbands on the RH shows are insatiable cockaholics. After kissing their wives on camera, they rush off to gay fuckathons.

Datalounge is funny.

Gina is entertaining. I hope she’s not moving back to Long Island anytime soon.

Emily is right that her husband is an interesting combo. Mormon and half Persian? wow

[quote] Emily is right that her husband is an interesting combo. Mormon and half Persian?

Oh, now it makes sense why he didn't drink champagne at their anniversary dinner.

He's a weird kind of mormon. First, he drank a Diet Coke, which has caffeine. I thought they weren't allowed to have caffeine?

Second, he's divorced, and has a kid from a previous marriage. I thought they weren't allowed to divorce?

What a bore so far. Vicki should just pack it in because she gets more and more unhinged with every season and it's not even fun to watch anymore.

Vicki looked Sasquatch with that damn fur, in Southern California no less

Now that Vicky has a man, she doesn’t need her kids to give her a storyline. I’m sure that the son and daughter are very happy about that.

Vicki's fur was hilarious, R72!!!

I kept thinking, "what in the fuckety fuck is she wearing???!!!"

Even Tamra laughed at her.

r64 Yes, sometimes we adopt young me, it doesn't mean anything dirty, you fucking queer!

I hate how Tamra will cry and wipe away tears. . .but there are NEVER any tears. She wipes away air. Shes crying about her husband possibly dying and the cunt cant get some eyewater going?

I thought it was interesting when Tams was on WWHL and Andrew asked about Eddie's health and she got very frowny and said he wasn't doing well. Then why the fuck didn't you stay home with him you selfish bitch

Vicki trying to get religious with the bible references....she's pathetic

r78 She's been doing that for years, you guys are putting me on the cross about Brooks, just like they did to Jesus! Yeah, rein it in, Miss Piggy, it's not that bad.

R78/79 I assume Vick did that because, if I remember correctly, Tams is born again. Or did she drop that after one season?

Kelly needs anger management pronto

Kelly is a psycho, but on the other hand, she's pretty funny.

I still don't know if she's a fit for the show, but she definitely brings the drama.

Every time I see Emily, I swear I'm looking at Alexis Bellino.

They look a lot alike, and I often have to do a double-take when I see her on camera.

So 2 of the 5 are actual Housewives and the rest are divorcees?

r82 I think she's perfect as the antithesis of the Heather Dubrow type of ice queen. She reminds me more of a typical OC "housewife" in the sense that she's just an aged party girl who somehow has money. She's my favorite woman ever cast in OC.

R83 how dare you! She's easily 40 pounds heavier!

Shannons dating some wealthy man according to the daily mail. I didn't click the story to read and find out who he was. I think he's a widower.

Vicki is actually scary to look at. She needed a break from this show.

I am so glad that the camera crew and editing team is sure to capture more Archie this season! He is in Shannon's opening tagline and his name is on the banner at the bottom of the screen during his reaction shots.

Archie is adorable!

He doesn't care about the cameras. He just wants to play with his toys, and poop on the grass.

Well when you don't take your dog for walks, he/she will shit all over the backyard

I would be completely fine with a mid-season firing of Vicki, replaced with Archie. He's certainly nicer to look at.

"The Real Housewives of Archie"!

R66 last season Tamara referred to the man who adopt Eddie, as Eddie’s dad.

She was bitching about Vicki spreading the gay rumor and also saying that Eddie was only with her because she put the money up to open his gym. Tamara tells, I think it was Shannon that was in this scene with her, that she was the one who wanted the gym and she had to beg Eddie to walk away from a 400k a year job working as a paralegal, in his dad’s law firm, to open the gym with her.

Eddina is old news, cunts! It's all about Matt now!

Matt won't even appear on camera, R95.

Otherwise, it would definitely be all about Matt.

But we still have Shane the Persian Mormon, lol.

Shane appears to despise his wife, Emily, who appeared sloshed at their anniver-sherry dinner.

I was very annoyed by the way she kept pronouncing anniversary.

[quote] Shane appears to despise his wife, Emily

Maybe he wants to have some Sister Wives.

You know those Mormons and their polygamy.

Gina's dad is quite a hottie himself.

So I guess Matt has no social media platforms or you DL sleuths would have discovered them and found any shirtless pics already.

Never heard of paralegals making $400k a year unless they're providing "special services" to a particular partner.

What is Eddy sick from?

Anyone who would date either Vicki or Shannon is obviously in it for the exposure. Certainly not for romance with those harpies.

Tamra was just on Good Day NY and said she herself is responsible for Shannon's weight loss. Shannon needs her to tell her not to put sauce on things and what not to eat, etc. They talked at length about Shannon's weight gain, even said that she put on 50 lbs in 3 months after her divorce.

I guess this is how they promote the show? I mean, it is Shannon's story line, but it seemed pretty humiliating. Whatever, Bravo is paying her.

Eddie has heart problems

Shannon enjoys the attention. What most of us think of as humiliation, Shannon thinks is "sympathy".

Let me just guess, Tamra has her next storyline picked out: the Widow Judge.

Of course, she'll want him to die on-camera.

They really should have dropped Vicki after her cancer scam season.

David Beador wants his name back!

Shannon Beador’s ex apparently wants to cut all ties with her.

“It’s been requested from my ex that I’m not worthy of the name Beador,” she recently said on The Daily Dish podcast. “For the sake of my kids, I think I’m going to stay Shannon Beador.”

The “Real Housewives of Orange County” star joked that since her maiden name is Storms, the name Shannon Storms could be interpreted as “stripper porn.”

“Now I call myself Shannon Storms Beador so it’s kind of like the best of both worlds,” she said.

Late last year, Shannon, 54, filed for divorce from David Beador following his infamous infidelities, which played out on the Bravo show.

“If I were ever to consider getting married again, I’m going to want to get to know the person,” Shannon said on the podcast. “I’m not getting divorced again. Once is enough.”

Castmate Vicki Gunvalson equated the Beadors’ split to “financial suicide” in a recent interview with Page Six.

I love the name Shannon Storms. Sounds like a superhero, not a stripper.

I'd go back to my old name. Beador sounds dumb.

I love Shannon, I am watching older ones and she's great, I had never seen her intro but she was gaslighted even in season 8. I did notice that her teeth were awful, as in the size, they were way too big, like ill fitting dentures, they look better now. Nothing is funnier or more ironic than fucking gross, Joker faced Tamra, with her frozen mask of horror, trying to squeeze out a tear about her balding, rapey eyed son taking HGH. "how could he inject these things into his body just to look good?" ha! Oh and when the doctor said his test came back with other things in it and he'd like a sample when he's clean, he didn't mean HGH showed up in it, you dumb twat, but you knew that! Sorry to derail. Carry on.

Shannon is "great" in the sense that being a hysterical harpy can be watchable. She usually doesn't mince words and as the ugly girl of the franchise, she always has her knife out.

I always found Shannon amusing because she's loony.

The kind of person who's fun to gaslight.

Shannon's first season was hilarious....

David has been gaslighting her from the jump! They all are, Heather too, I feel for Shannon, I used to think she was insane.

"You guys will all see the truth!!!"

she was so thin there. She did look almost like her old self on WWHL last week though. She has maybe just 20 pounds left to lose

Shannon is poisonous. I feel sorry for her young kids. “Mom, pleeeeease! Stop crying!”

It is wild to see her transform from rail thin to whale in the span of....3 years?

I think that R115 needs some "shut the fuck up oil."

[quote] It is wild to see her transform from rail thin to whale in the span of....3 years?

Working out? Friggin' nightmare!

I wonder if Shannon's husband really wanted her to be on the show. He was already pretty wealthy and certainly didn't need the money like some of those grifters do/did. I'm sure he's relieved to be rid of her.

Tamra's first husband was sales manager of a car dealership and while it could be a solid job, they weren't wealthy by any stretch of the imagination. Eddie had no money of his own, either, no matter what Tamra claims.

Vicki, if you can call it that, was self-made. Wonder what Donn is up to? No matter what it is, you know he's a lot happier.

^ Simon was Tamra's second husband; a is her third husband.

Kelly is white trash from AZ, and not much money either. She barely made anything off her house, which took forever to sell and is on a shitty street.

She was hired to do ad sales for the OC Register and didn't last long.

Oh, right. Tamra's incredible loser of a son was the spawn of her first tragic trip down the aisle.

He may have been a homophobic closet case, but I do miss Shane. He was hot AF.

r119 Make no mistakes, Shannon was fucking loaded before she met David. That's why Heather's whole of-the-manor-born act is so annoying, she's a goblin who married a nouveau riche guy, that's why she was practically seething when she saw that Shannon had more and older money and a classier house.

Heather's first role...

R121 Kelly is Latina. Both her parents are of Mexican heritage.

R126, yes I know her all too well. So let's just say white trash- adjacent.

R127 you know her personally?

r127 = Kelly's gay brother?

No, former neighbor. She is just hideous. I still see her around, so I assume she is renting (or scraped up enough money to buy) nearby.

can you tell us any stories about her? Was she nice to you? How is she as a neighbor?

She's a loud-mouthed, crude cunt just as you would expect. Dresses like a 20 year old whore. Those bitches have ruined all of my favorite restaurants too. I've posted this before, but my mom had no idea who any if the women were and we were out having lunch and I filled her in. It was Vicki, Tamra, Alexis and Gretchen . She told me, "Jesus, they'll let any trash in town now".

Vicki's daughter went to school with a friend and she's another hag. Cheap as fuck. Her "villa" in Mexico was a timeshare (at least at the time) and she charged her guests for everything.

r132 I knew it! As Ms. Storms predicted, we all see the truth now!

R132 do most people in the OC area hate all the past and present cast members? Or some are accepted/popular?

I haven't heard anything bad about Shannon, but a restaurant owner that shall be nameless was told by patrons any more filming and we quit coming.

Many of these "housewives" blew into town and are borderline grifters, like Alexis and Lynne. So no, they aren't liked and expect star treatment and are laughed at behind their backs.

r115 Okay, wow!

Kelly should get Rapey Eyes “naked wasted” and ride him with a strap on.

This is for you, R115!!!!

You beat me to it, R136!

So I'll just say, "Wow. Okay," and leave.

R136 I didn't even see how you signed your name Shannon Storms (off set).

We were thinking the exact same thing, rofl.

Looks like Alexis' ex is suing Tam-balls and Shannon! Wow. Okay

but Shannon and Alexis don't even know each other unless they met off-camera. Shannon joined after Alexis left

This season already looks like it sucks. The show desperately needed a break from either Vicki or Tamra.

Were they supposed to be doing a RH set in Santa Barbara? Thag could easily replace this stale ass show.

Alexis is suing me?! We never even filmed together! Wow. Okay. Just Wow.

God Jim was so fat and sloppy with his fucking backward hat and Christian Audigier gear, I have to believe he was rich because Alexis was hot.

Of all the Real Housewives shows, the Orange County women seemed the most unapologetically provincial.

Kelly's new condo is hideous! It's like walking into an 80s time warp. Is her mom still living with her, or did she finally manage to get her committed to a senior facility?

Kelly’s mother lives in Arizona

So Kelly managed to ship her off, huh? I hope Kelly finally bought her a hairbrush before she left, since she obviously never owned one while she lived with her daughter.

Rich is a relative term, but the Bellinos lost their home in Newport I believe not too long after they came on the show and were renting in Monarch Beach during filming for at least one season. After leaving the show, they bought in San Juan Capistrano.

They seem like one of the riding high in April, shot down in May types.

But wasn't Alexis raking in the dough with her couture line?!?

LOL, she's the American Stella McCartney! I doubt anyone bought those tacky schmatas any more than they were fighting over the Gretchen Christine collection.

Actually, Vicki was the smartest out of the OC wives being in the insurance and financial services business. She got free advertising, and as long as people continue to pay she'll get checks forever.

She's still a cheap bitch though.

I think Jim Bellino made money but he and Alexis were spending way more than he made and now they're flat broke

r154 Yeah, she's a cheap bitch. Her calling Lizzie and Danielle "Dumb and Dumber" because they gave those Balinese street vendors 100 bucks for some trinkets and didn't haggle, yeah they could have gotten it cheaper but they maybe don't care about 100 bucks and wanted to throw some money to the vendors. That whole fucking trip was so cringe-y and embarrassing to watch. VIcky's constant shrieking about the monkeys and throwing up dramatically on the bus. And of course the new money bitches have LV bags but old money Shannon has her sturdy black luggage. Oh and Vicky bitching about no internet so she can't check on her employees...ugh, can you imagine working for her?

I forgot about Danielle. The producers did her dirty. She and Lizzie caused Tamra to freak out, running out of the dinner hall screaming "you'll never see me again!" which was hilarious but most of Danielle's scenes were edited out. Her sexually questionable husband fit right in with the group too

WHO THE FUCK IS DANIELLE? I have watched the show since the beginning! (And I adored Lizzie- she reminded me of an old friend- and her husband was a sweetheart)

And by the way the Gretchen Christine collection is TAWP NAWTCH!!

Nominated for:

Handbag Designer of The Year Award

Elsa Klensch Designer of The Year Award

and Gretchen Christine was invited to the MET Gala after the AMAY-ZEENG formulations of her makeup were revealed.

That being, she uses some chop shop makeup manufacturer that will put anyone's name on it!

Vicki actually is not self-made. The insurance schtick was invented for her “character” on the show; she is the “entrepreneur” one. Donn paid for everything, bought her the business (which she ran out of her guest room), and still paid for everything even when the MLM Insurance business began to do fairly well because housewives fans signed up. A self-made woman wouldn’t take on the cancer scam (which was about selling juice that she claimed cured cancer, diabetes, and rheumatoid arthritis) at the risk of her reputation and that of the company in which she is an Avon rep equivalent. She also would not have compounded that scam with a second one in which she started a fake cancer charity to drive marketing leads for life insurance. She is a moron. Her ex, however, understood business.

Whether or not Vicki is self-made or not is beside the point-she turned it into a lucrative business and ended up paying HIM alimony. Not that her rumored $750k salary from the show isn't part of the reason for that.

Donn is no genius either.

r158 Danielle wasn't a cast member but Lizzie's bff and was only on season 9, on a few eps. Yeah Lizzie was great, why did she get fired? Her telling Tamra, "you know what Tamra? You're crap, you're the most insecure woman I ever met!" is what caused Tamra to teeter off shrieking, "you'll never see me again!" so I guess she got them fired? Too bad, Lizzie was awesome and pretty and smart, so yeah, she had to go.

Hold on! Was Danielle the latin lesbian chick??? She flirted with someone. Maybe Tamara????

No that was Ventana I wanna say? And she was really cute, Tamra could do worse! She was on the season after that, that was a Gretchen season. I know because I am watching these all now on Hulu. Danielle kinda looked like Lizzie and I guess had texted Lizzie the things Tamra had said so unwittingly started the rumble in the jungle in Bali.

R162 Danielle was originally going to be a full-time housewife along with Lizzie got downgraded after filming wrapped during the editing process.

R163 that was Fernanda from Brazil

Fernanda was hot! And Tamra hurt her feelings by not coming to some party for her, Tamra is a cunt, she never goes to anyone's parties but Heather's.

Danielle is sitting next to Tamra in the yellow

WHO THE FUCK IS DANIELLE! I feel that I have lost it! Let me google

I am the dope who does not remember this bitch, but LOVES Lizzie!

Fucking hell! Her gay looking husband I TOTALLY recall, but her? Not so much!

Wow. 42 and I feel like I am Alzheimers-ing!

I have not even watched these first two episodes yet. Looks like a boring season to me-

the freakout lol. white trash Tamra running out of a nice restaurant

I loved Heather and I still hate Vicki

r170 that was probably the classiest moment on that whole trip. The constant shrieking and "woo-hoo"ing and Tamra yelling about how big the elephant's cock was...God she is disgusting.

Too bad the Bellinos didnt save money. They lived 3 years in their house for free before they were finally thrown out. How do these people get past rental credit checks, let alone mortgages?

r173 Beats me!

Lynne was living in a cheap motel off the 5 freeway. Seriously.

and those tacky ass cuffs she tried making happen

Oh, she's still shilling those damn things. Motel rooms still are $50 a night.

Goddamn, just watched the first two episodes. This shit is boring. Kelly is the only watchable character.

Mark my words that this season will be worse than last season's RHOC AND RHOBH (which I think was the nadir of the entire RH franchise, much less RHOBH)

At least these OC ladies aren't really SHILLING. RHOBH is basically a commercial for the ladies business and television ventures.

Below Deck and Southern Charm is where the shit is at with Bravo now.

^^ Real Housewives of Potomac

R179, I will give you that! Fuck Potomac is messy though! And I find the women thoroughly unlikeable. Except Ashley! She is a cool chick.

And frankly, Real Housewives of Dallas is my FAVORITE- The girls are a perfect mix of classy/trashy/crazy/normal. I throughly enjoyed the first 2 seasons and cannot wait for this one!

Lizzie and her husband were ultimately too normal for this show. They had no drama of their own, and Lizzie only got into fights that others picked with her. They seemed like great people, but they were bad for TV.

Why did Shannon and her husband break up? I am happy for him.

Eddie is not going to be able to do all that exercise that he is used too...his heart condition is serious.

R178 here, the Eddie stuff is so serious that I could not even watch it! I feel for the guy, but that kind of life and death struggle doesn't work for me on this show. Horrible to watch.

David Bedor is so handsome, I'd do him

[quote] Tamra yelling about how big the elephant's cock was...God she is disgusting.

I thought she was a Jesus freak. Why is she talking about huge penises?

Let's see, David is now 53-years old, going on 54; his new girlfriend is now 34-years old. Five-six years from now, unless he's popping the V by then, she's going to be pissed off, lashing out with remnant anger. Fun times ahead.

Shannon wins. She had him during the best years of his life.

Ha ha Crazy Crying Shannon is selling food on QVC

No DL sleuths have found anything on Matt? I'm disappointed.

R188 Wow. Okay.

R186 I think that was Tamra's last pre-jesus season.

r191 It was, the next season has her tagline about how her faith is strong and so is her ass.

Shannon’s tagline should be “I’m fat, sad, and rude so buy my food!”

[quote] Shannon’s tagline should be “I’m fat, sad, and rude so buy my food!”

This is just for you, R193!

But, R193....

I wonder how well her food line is selling

To this day, I still don't know why David ever left Shannon.

r188 i love how the host kept saying how BEAUTIFUL the presentation was right out of the bag and the camera proceeds to focus in on each plate looking like literal dog vomit.

“I cry all the time and got dumped by my dude so buy my overpriced food”

Hold me, Shannon!

I'm scared.

That fur coat that Brooks "bought" Vicki that she wore to Heather's naming party with the infamous cake eating incident was not unlike something Mother Jefferson would wear, it looked like she had Mother Jefferson's panty hose on too.

No one in Orange County wears a fur except tacky Midwest transplants. It doesn't snow or even get that cold here. There's no point.

If Vicks is that cold, she should quit shaving that tired grey bush.

Bump..

You need to bump this thread because no one is talking about these hags.

Vicki gave an interview where she said she now looks early 40s, maybe late 30s. This cow is truly delusional.

Vicki lowers numbers on everything. She needs a size 12, but buys 8.

"I may be over-weight but I'm really under-loved "

Those 3 in Mexico just looks sad and desperate, in no way fun like the NY ladies' trip.

Well the show is still on...

Is Shannon’s daughter old enough to get knocked up by an abusive boyfriend? Shannon needs a new reason to bawl her eyes out every episode.

Tams is an aging vile skank. Pure trailer park trash

I just watched episode 1 and Vicki is starting to look like Rocky in Mask.

Was bored and checked, Shannon is renting in a very nice neighborhood in Newport Beach for 10k a month. I know they are still settling their divorce, but the Beadors must be eaten alive by taxes since they didn't buy another house.

Couldn't find Kelly's new place, but it's obviously a rental too. That old nasty tile in the kitchen is gross. In her case, I'm sure she can't afford anything to meet her exacting standards. She might have to check out places near Wretchen in Costa Mesa.

I was watching the season one re-runs, as well R211.

I can't miss it because hot Shane was always walking around shirtless.

Kara was really pretty too. It must have pissed off Vicki and Tamra immensely.

Kara is a racist deplorable. The whole family is.

But at least they're good looking deplorables, unlike rapy eyes and bug eyed Michael.

I don't think Michael is fug. Tamara's son looked good when he still had hair.

Shannon actually looked better out of her Spanx than with them on.

She may be a little cray, but I like Shannon. Her old house was nicely decorated and she at least dresses appropriately for her age. She's got some nice jewelry too.

Thank god Victoria displayed her usual class and elegance while those other two made fools of themselves.

It makes me sad, because I don't think that Shannon will ever find another guy after David.

She's just way too much to handle, and she's not really open to a relationship.

I think the reason that Vicki gets a lot of guys, is because she's a cheap and loose slut. The guy knows he will always get laid, because she makes it clear that she's looking to get fucked.

Shannon, on the other hand, is still holding out as if she's some 18 year old virgin, saying that "they have to get to know me first."

Girl, you're pushing 60, with three teen aged girls. The bloom is most definitely off the rose.

If a guy wants to fuck you, then consider yourself lucky. Especially if you're loony. But not Shannon. She still wants to play "hard to get."

Good luck with that.

If Vicki can find dudes, Shannon and her millions should be fine.

Who cares about the three old hags? Where are the pics of Matt?

Shannon has little to no interest in dick. Instead she wants a husband in order to keep up appearances. The man needs to endlessly adore Shannon through all of her mood swings.

I disagree r223, he just needs to not fuck someone else who he then introduces to his bitch mother, and maybe not gaslight her and eat in front of her constantly. I used to think David was funny but when I watched season 9 and him moving out, then coming back and telling her everything was cool, only to be lying and fucking around is so shades of Dan Broderick. He's lucky, she could have killed him and his cunt.

My Eyes! My Eyes! Help me, Jeezus!

Watching the most recent episode, and Trampa has just exposed her mutilated breasts!

[quote]Real Housewives of Potomac

+1 more.

and Tamra wonders why some of her kids are embarrassed by her behavior. She was naked or flashing in multiple scenes tonight.

lmfao at Shannon wearing spanks and then getting down to her bra in the hot tub.

Vicki and Shannon kissing eew!

why wasn't Kelly invited on the trip?

It's not even so much that they're embarrassed r227, as that she won't respect their boundaries. Remember her daughter Sidney didn't see her for years and when she finally did for her graduation she did it on the condition that Tamra not post her pics on her social media, so Tamra promptly did and they became estranged again. She's just a selfish asshole who makes Simon look like a great guy.

I almost want to see the perspective of Vicki/Tramp/Shannon drunk as fuck together and "connecting" together, but the entire display, knowing their history over the course of 5 years, just screamed so stupidly inauthentic. I genuinely couldn't take myself to find entertainment, knowing that 2 fucking years ago Shannon was throwing documents in Vicki's face that she knows she was an accomplice in lying about fucking CANCER. It is so ridiculous. Get Vicki and Tramp off the goddamn show. There's no semblance of entertainment anymore with them.

Wow, R220. Okay.

I really, really like the new girls though. It's a little premature, but I think the producers got it right with those two newbies.

R231 they seem like nice girls but they're real snoozers. Talking about how tough it is being a mom with 3 kids--frau 101. Then get off the show and you'll have more time!

They both won't make it to next season

Tamra and Vicki know that if they aren’t loud and outrageous that they will be fired. That’s why they’re getting naked and kissing girls. That bug-eyed Lidia would never do something like that which is why she was fired (again).

I wonder what kind of "attorney" that new woman is. I'm guessing the "slip and fall" kind.

A fat attorney.

So what is the tea on Gina's husband? Living in his own apt 5 days a week in another city? Affair?

Vicki's not going anywhere, and since Tamara's main source of income is the show I wouldn't doubt that she's sprinkling speed in Eddie's protein shakes to add to her story line.

[quote] since Tamara's main source of income is the show I wouldn't doubt that she's sprinkling speed in Eddie's protein shakes to add to her story line

Lol, that's both funny and horrible at the same time! And yet, I wouldn't put it past her.

What, exactly, is Eddy's health issue?

Vicki seems to inexplicably have a fan base but Tamra is so abhorrent it's hard for me to believe she has people who would miss her if she were gone.

I can't blame David Beador for dumping Shannon. If she were that shrill and loud and cunty on camera, imagine what she's like in real life. I still remember her shrieking at David's old mistress at a USC game when they crossed paths, as if it were her right to make a scene in public. The cameras were not following her at the time, and she was still a loud-mouthed bitch. Those poor daughters. David is a nice-looking guy with some money and will do well.

Really, R239?

Wow. I'm done.

Do these women give any thought to their kids when they get drunk, take off their clothes and jump in a hot tub? How degrading and humiliating. Anything for 10 mins of fame I guess.

The “Wow. I’m done.” joke is stale. Can you please try sionething else?

If my mom got paid that much money just for drunkenly flopping around in a hot tub on TV, I’d buy her the drinks myself. Money is good and lots of money is better.

R243= Rapey Eye Ryan

2 things stood out to me from this week's episode:

1. Kelly telling her 12 year old daughter all about her drama with Vicki and then getting advice from her. The girl is 12 and has more sense than her mother. I wonder if she's beginning to resent her mother

2. Vicki and Shannon falling on each other in the airport, breaking all the shot glasses and then laughing it off while someone else swept up the mess. So tacky and trashy

Shannon is another Mom of the Year who overshares with her young daughters. She uses them as a sounding board to hear all about their father’s failures as a husband.

Remember when the girls asked their dad, on camera, about his wet dreams? These girls know way too much about their parents’ sex practices thanks to Shannon.

Victoria sets such a great example for these women as well as the audience. She is a pillar of the community who heeds the advice of her trusted partner not to act in obscene ways.

What kind of grifter is Vicki's latest paid escort?

He's actually an ex homicide cop from NY, I would pick his brain constantly about gory cases but Vicky will just talk to him about her gross friends, what a waste.

What is his level of attractiveness? Does he need his teeth fixed, like Brooks?

No r 250, he's pretty cute, way too cute and smart for Vicki.

r251 you could tell he was a stunner when he was young, but damn aging is a bitch.

Vicki's bf is from Anaslime, with multiple abuse allegations from his PD. Let's not turn into Columbo. If she's paying, why not younger and cute? Someone will fuck her sagging beef curtains for the money.

David is ugly as fuck.

Glad you think so 254, I get to have him all to myself

a has a fib (atrial filbrillation), a cardiac arrhythmia which if left untreated leads to heart attack or stroke. In all likelihood the procedure he had was a cardiac ablation, which is an attempt to stabilize the electrical impulses that control heartbeat. They sometimes have to be repeated and have a fairly decent success rate. He is probably on an anticoagulant med like Coumadin or the now famous Xarelto, which has its own set of precautions to avoid bleeding.

He can be successfully treated but unfortunately he is still quite ugly.

Maybe Eddie did too many poppers or too much coke in his youth.

That house he owns, didn't pay for itself.

I made 400k a year as a paralegal, sir!

[quote] I made 400k a year as a paralegal, sir!

Paid by your adoptive father. Who "adopted" you as an adult male. And then hired you in his firm and paid you that exhorbitant salary.

Oh no, there's nothing fishy with that story.

"Eddie Judge’s Alleged Gay Relationship With Adopted Father Revealed!"

When Vicki blog-smacked Real Housewives of Orange County co-star, Tamra Judge, with the hard truth after last week’s episode, one segment of the piece was soon deleted.

Vicki made note of an “unorthodox” relationship in Eddie Judge’s past — the reality that originally triggered the whispers swirling around the trainer’s sexuality. The story is an old one, but freshly relevant against the backdrop of Season 12.

In 2012, Eddie Judge was listed as CEO/IT of The Judge Law Firm, in Irvine California. Two years earlier, Tamra Barney and Eddie went public with their romance — less than two months after Tamra’s then husband, Simon Barney, filed for divorce. Around that time, Eddie’s sister, Shalimar Torres, gave a revealing interview, claiming that Eddie had iced out his family when they needed him the most.

[quote] “I asked him one time for help when I was homeless with my kids and waited in the park all day for him,” Torres told Radar Online. “He just never showed up and never called me.”

Shalimar explained that Eddie Torres was born in Mexico, then later moved to California, with their mother. Their mother “took off,” and left the family shortly after Shalimar was born. Their grandmother stepped in to raise the children, but they were later taken out of her home, when she became too weak to care for them. Eddie is 12 years older than his sister.

[quote] “We grew up with my grandmother but got taken away when she got too old. My grandma now lives off of a fixed income and she has diabetes,” Shalimar said. “For her it’s either food or medication and when we ask him Eddie for help he’ll come a few weeks after the fact and buy her some groceries.”

Shalimar revealed just how James Judge entered the picture.

[quote] “When Eddie was a teenager he met this man who gave him odd side jobs and he eventually took Eddie in and became his foster dad,” Shalimar said. “That’s when he changed his last name to Judge.”

Numerous sources reported a homosexual relationship between Eddie and Judge, who strangely became Eddie’s guardian, when Eddie was 21 years old.

[quote] “It’s amazing how he Eddie can just turn his back and act as if he never knew us or we’re not blood,” Shalimar added. “But he’s donating and helping out strangers in other countries acting like he’s such a good guy when he’s not.”

Shalimar also dished that Tamra and Eddie met thorough a staged production scenario.

[quote] “When everyone was having a hard time because of the economy the show wanted to make it look like Tamra was trying to downsize so they met through her realtor,” Shalimar said. “They came and asked if they could use our house to make it look like Tamra was interested in buying it.”

[quote] “When she met my brother, she was still married,” Torres added.

The story is an odd one — and reveals the ancient origin of the rumor that Vicki repeated to co-star, Kelly Dodd. Tamra and Eddie are working overtime to defend their marriage, based on the premise that Vicki is maliciously “spreading rumors.” The truth points to gossip that has been circulating for years — tea that could have spilled all over the Bravo stage, long ago.

You can wipe out a blog — but not the past. Eddie was essentially adopted as an adult, by a single, older male. Tamra wants the truth erased — but bears the married name of the reason for the ongoing chatter. Will the couple ever address the real deal?

Spill that dirt, Shalimar!

It's funny because Vicki wasn't wrong about the rumors she spread.

However, the rest of the cast was so fed up with her by that point, that they wouldn't film with her anymore. And she knew that she would have to leave the show. Vicki's the OG, and she knows how it works in these situations.

So in order to continue to be on the show, she had NO CHOICE but to grovel on her hands and knees to Tamra and Eddie.

Watch her apology again. She never said that she lied or didn't tell the truth. She merely said she apologized for saying hurtful of "damaging" things, and "repeating rumors."

But those rumors were based on FACT, and substantiated by his sister. The real question is, why is everyone protecting Tamra and Eddie?

If Andrea Cohen was still running this show, you can bet he'd have roped in Shalimar for some airtime. What I wouldn't give to see her on camera. A reality show moment for the ages!

Something is fishy with Shalimar. How could they use "our house" for filming if she had no money?

I wondered that too r264, and didn't know if I just read it wrong. One sentence she's homeless in the park but then they're filming in her house?

She and her grandmother must have been living with Eddie for a while, R264/R265.

That's how I interpreted it.

I can go with Eddie being bi and having a sugar daddy when he was young, but not gay. I think Tamra likes sex too much.

And if the sister was living with Eddie, I'm glad he cut the cunt off. Get your own rich man Shallie.

Ever resourceful Tamra found a 'new house' in which to launch her new story line for this season: Meghan King Edmonds' former OC house.

It was on the market for $3.4 mill,' as if RHOC paychecks and the gym revenue can support such mortgage payments, let alone a down payment and costs to renovate such property. They'll never move in. Either it'll remain 'under construction' throughout the entire season, or the reno will be delayed because of a's 'medical' condition. Oh, and then there's the piano in the dining room, as if Tamra had classical music training during her formative years in the trailer park.

Staged.

R268 Tamra is not living in MKE’s old house. She’s redoing the kitchen with a banquet just like the one MKE put into her house. She must have liked it. MKE’s house was in Newport Beach, Tamra’s new house is in Ladera Ranch. Based on the listing photos it looks like Tamra is remodeling everything. Bottom line two different houses in different cities. See link.

Who WOULDN'T believe this?

Tamra makes $600k from the show, plus whatever else she has coming in. She can certainly afford the new place. That whole inland area-Coto, Ladera is much, much cheaper than Newport. It's hotter than hell though and near nothing. You have to drive just for a decent restaurant.

R268, please don't comment when you know shit.

Also, Tammy Sue still has her real estate license so that's another $45k she saved.

Are there any gay bars in Ladera Ranch?

Just asking for a friend.

No, there's nothing in Ladera Ranch but tract homes and the hum of contstant air conditioners.

Three old ladies in various stages of undress drinking and staggering and screeching their way through Puerto Vallarta was uncomfortable to watch.

It's not hot year round though..so what is the big deal?

Can someone link the NY thread 9 in here?

Here you go, R277.

There are no gay bars anywhere around Orange County. You need to go to Long Beach or San Diego.

But there are so many married "straight" guys on the down low in Orange County that grindr would be your best bet. Just don't expect a face pic right away.

It was always clear that Vicki wasn't lying about Eddie being gay. And it pissed off Tamra and Eddie way too much so they just had to be true.

Maybe Eddie was gay for pay and a total user. Or is he now straight for pay, and still a user?

Tamara's house is beautiful .

There are at least 2 gay bars on Orange County, Tin Lizzie in Costa Mesa and one left in Laguna Beach.

[quote] There are at least 2 gay bars on Orange County, Tin Lizzie in Costa Mesa and one left in Laguna Beach

Thanks, Slade!

R282, there are probably 4000 more just like it.

R281 I think Eddie's one of those grifters who will be whatever you want him to be, as long as he's getting paid.

I assume someone will unearth the Kirschenheiter tea at some point.

[quote] I assume someone will unearth the Kirschenheiter tea at some point.

What's that?

Eddie being adopted is old news.

[quote]Three old ladies in various stages of undress drinking and staggering and screeching their way through Puerto Vallarta was uncomfortable to watch.

Thank you!

Years ago, Eddie and my niece went out on a date, but that was over 20 years ago and only one date. I don't know how this plays in the is he or isn't he debate, just adding some facts.

I definitely believe that Eddie is just an opportunist, who will fuck anybody for money.

Is Puerta Vallarta a cool place? Seems gay friendly, but please tell me that people like Vicki and the crowds at Andales are outliers.

Vicki is in a mediocre timeshare. No gays there, at least with taste.

Donn got the Lake Havasu "house" in the divorce. Another place filled with white trash, drunk by 10 a.m. I'd rather have an colonoscopy.

There are lots of gays in PV though.

I'm guessing Tamballz has given up Christianity this season, since she's taking every opportunity to show off her plastic tits, spread her legs and display her cooch, drink until she breaks her ankle, and drop the f-bomb like a mic.

I miss Megan's giraffe neck and her husband's nelly ways.

r297, that hypocritical tramp only used the baptism storyline to improve her image after that previous god awful season when the audience really turned on her.

And baptised at the Balboa Bay Club. It's a shame they had to open it to the public.

I bet Meghan will return to the show at some point, especially if either Gina and/or Emily end up being a flop

Well so far fatty attorney frau is a tacky bore and importing from Long Island?

r301 I hope not, Meghan is the worst. I wish Lizzie would come back.

R302 to be fair most of the cast hasn't been from California.

Tamra and Shannon grew up in Cali but:

Vicki is from Chicago

Emily is from Ohio

Kelly is at least from nearby Arizona

Alexis and Meghan are from Missouri

Gretchen is from Texas

Heather is from NY

Lydia is from Canada

Peggy is from Armenia

Lizzie is from Kentucky

Jeana is from Wisconsin

Lauri is from Idaho

Jo might be a Cali native but not too many others from this series

r304 How do you know Peggy is Armenian? Did she mention being Armenian on the show? I kid!

I am so glad Peggy is gone.

Datalounge hates her but I hope that we get to see Brianna this season. It’s nice to see her healthy and happy.

R307 we won't. She moved to her hubby's home state of North Carolina. She wanted to be off camera

R299 I never bought her "Christian conversion" as anything other than a plotline.

I wasn't fired. I simply decided not to return to the show. That's how we do it in Armenia.

I love Brianna. How on earth did Vicki give birth to a normal child?

Brianna is almost as bad as the mom and married to a crazy loser. Expect to see him on Dateline one of these days.

Yeah I had a big issue with Brianna and her highly indignant response to whatever it was Brooks said to her hubby about keeping her in line, I mean it would be one thing if her hubby wasn't also a prick. Remember he and Lydia's mom at Vicki's party? He went fucking NUTS on her and it was never addressed or mentioned. So yeah, Brianna is a dick too.

Brianna enjoyed being on the show. It's her psychotic husband that doesn't want her on it. If she's not catering to him, what good is she?

Brianna's husband is a crazy control freak. Divorce will be coming sooner than later. Who wants to live isolated on 25 acres in the middle of nowhere?

R124 Shannon is the one who keeps spreading around that she came from money, but who really knows. I don’t think she was poor, and maybe her family were rich, but I don’t believe she comes from wealth. Her dad or grandfather was the president of a department store but her family didn’t own it.

If she came from wealth there’s no way in hell, Shannon would have sold that assisted living facility, she called her dream house. They were renting after they finally unloaded that house.

R225 her tits look shredded. Even though they were blurred out, you could still tell.

R240 did you learn that at Cotillion?

Shannon knew a divorce was coming. That's why the house was sold and they rented. And the buyer bought the furniture, so not everyone thought it looked like assisted living. Maybe the leftover blinged-out crap from Kelly's shithole is more your taste R316. That bitch never saw a rhinestone she didn't like.

Besides her own money, David and Shannon can both buy places with their split profits after the divorce is settled. Kelly is one step from renting a room from Gretchen.

R315 Brianna’s husband is a stay at home dad while she works. She’s also been dealing with chronic illnesses.

I’ll never forget when she moved back to the OC from Kansas two seasons ago. She excitedly named all the restaurants she was going to eat at, once she arrived.

I always believed Brianna’s weight and bad diet is the cause for a lot of her health issues.

I don't understand Shannon stans. Her neuroticism coupled with being just too pleased with herself bother me, but when she asked her husband to be a human enema for her, on camera no less, I just couldn't. After this last episode I've read a lot of women comment about her as if she's their role model of empowerment because she's overweight and not ashamed to show it! They seem to forget the part that she was completely hammered on tequila when she stripped down and joined Tamra in the hot tub. She's usually very self conscious about her weight. But she blames David for the weight gain, so it's all good...

Just watched episode 3 and I feel like I was just molested by Tamara. Is it just me, or was Tamara horny and wanting to scissor with Shannon?

[quote]Brianna’s husband is a stay at home dad while she works.

I wonder why he doesn't work. And if there's an opening anywhere for security to guard couches and protect them from the dirty feet of older, stoned hippies, he's the guy.

I think the husband is on disability from the military.. What a joy to live in Bumfuck with 2 little kids, and working with health issues. Just watch, she'll move back in with Vicki and ditch the retard husband.

R324 I think she’s ride or die for the loser.

That was a nasty fall Tamra took. What was her deal with getting that wasted and taking off her clothes for the camera anyway? She's regressing, after so much seeming progress in her life, breaking free from a controlling husband, public speaking regarding depression, trying to mend her relationship with her daughter, etc. Her behavior in Mexico was bizarre, especially given that her husband is going through a very serious health crisis.

A broken foot can be a very big deal. I've heard of a person who has had several surgeries, had nerves severed to stop the pain, and they still can't get it right.

Whatever their relationship, I think Tamra was just letting loose from Eddie's health problems (and I'm no Tamra fan). Plus, she's got to do something to justify those big bucks.

R326 I’m not a Tamra fan by any means. That being said, I think she was just blowing off steam after having been through some very stressful times regarding Eddie’s health and moving into a new home. The fact that her new house was still under construction couldn’t have helped. Whatever the context of Tamra and Eddie’s marriage, I have no doubt that they care for one another.

I also agree that Tamra was earning her paycheck with her antics in Mexico. 50% stress and 50% playing it up for the cameras.

I never thought of Eddie as a grifter but the DL made me change my mind. I think he kind of is. Does anyone go to their gym? What's it called? When Tamra gave a "class' on the first episode only her friends and a few show extras showed up.

It’s not surprising that they would want to film scenes at Cut Fitness before or after hours. I’m sure that the producers don’t want the headaches of observers and interlopers and release forms.

I believe that Cut Fitness isn’t a gym but is instead fitness classes only.

Eddie pings to high heaven.

[quote]Whatever their relationship, I think Tamra was just letting loose from Eddie's health problems (and I'm no Tamra fan)

Yeah, but now Eddie won't have someone able to take care of him as well, now that she is going to be dealing with a broken foot. Someone with a seriously ill spouse and young children should find other ways to unwind other than getting totally shit-faced and running back and forth naked on slippery floors.

Also, wasn't it Tamra who gave Gretchen such a hard time for being at "Bass Lake" and having fun while her boyfriend was ill?

How can anyone seriously believe that Tamra was going to be a nurse maid for Eddie? She's the most greedy, selfish, immature, psychotic bitch that's ever been on TV. She probably has some poor immigrant she's paying less than minimum wage hiding in her house to change Eddie's dressings and to bring him his meals so she can go drink her lunch with her co-workers.

Exactly, R133. I think when Tamra cries about Eddie's situation, it's because she's thinking about she'd have to, you know, actually BE there for him. She can't handle that.

We need the dirt on Matt. What was going on in that marriage?

Watching Gina call Matt just to say hi and to send him a picture of the kids at the zoo, and him immediately telling her that he can't talk, was just sad.

Just listening to her tell that sad story of their life together (more so apart), was pretty pathetic. She knew their marriage was over.

I don't think he even gave Bravo permission to use his voice on camera.

As much as I like the two new girls, I'm just so bored by them.

If I have to look at one more mommy frau in her lycra spandex leggings and exercise outfit, pushing their double-wide strollers while simultaneously exercising, I will absolutely SCREAM! It's such a cliche! And the screaming, misbehaved brats in the background just make the whole scenario even more irritating.

That's why I took to Kelly instantly. She's definitely more interesting than these other two ladies.

So what was Kelly's plan at the dinner?

A) Ambush Vicki.

B) Make Michael jealous by "flaunting" her date?

The whole thing was really bizarre. Meshing two new cast members into an already established cast, is always awkward. Making them introduce themselves to each other at a dinner, is even more awkward. It's like, "hi I don't know you, but we're going to be cast mates pretending to be friends."

Does it really matter at this point? Other than the first seasons, when the women actually knew each and were friends its been a parade of mostly broke whores looking to become "stars". Or shilling their crap. Even Miss Fancy Pants Heather and Dr. WC Fields gave the house they we're living in while constructing Mansion #1 back to the bank.

Kelly makes for great reality tv. I love how she's going to yell at Vicki for the whole season. Their drama is not over either, as indicated by both of their recent appearances on WWHL.

Vicki enjoyed Kelly going off on everyone else the past 2 years, now it's her turn and she doesn't like it

How embarrassing for Emily's husband that his bar exam failure is a storyline lol he better have passed it by now or else the fans online will hound him about it forever

Stick a fork in this show. They are bringing up this thing with Michael in the previews AGAIN.

It's like BH now.

does anyone know what happened during filming? did matt actually film and then had to be edited out? I can't believe bravo would film gina for months if matt never appeared on camera.

Who had the great idea of casting Gina? I can’t watch another scene with her obnoxious children. They should have brought back a previous HW along with Emily. Apparently she and Emily must have a falling out as Emily stated on WWHL last night that when she met Gina she thought they would be best friends but that wasn’t the case. Gina looks like someone that wants to cause a lot of drama. With a divorce looming she needs the check.

Nobody wants to see families with a bunch of little kids. Fraus want escape.

Kelly appears to have only 2 behaviors: Scream or Cry. Of course, she also does the Screamcry and the Cryscream. No wonder she drove her husband and mother away.

Is the daughter in psycho therapy yet?

I'm sure she will be. She's already overweight.

Please don't call me.

R343 I thought Emily was talking about Shannon? They had some things in common but Shannon hates all the new girls every year

R348 I thought Emily was referring to Gina. I could be wrong? I have a feeling Gina causes major problems.

It's usually Vicki that hates anyone new.

I like that Gina is willing to tell Vicki her opinion on Vicki's behavior and won't be bullied into silence. Vicki thinks being the senior OC housewife means she can boss everyone around.

Cancer scam queen Vicki is delusional.

Gina is trash. No one messes with the OG of the OC! I can see why her husband left her. It’s obvious she knew her marriage was over while filming the show. Gina is attacking Vicki for not being honest with Kelly when she herself is perpetrating a lie on viewers and the other women when discussing her “marriage”.

I still wish that they’d bring Lauri back, even on a “friend of” basis. She drives Vikky insane and seems like a cool, laid-back SoCal chick. I’d like to see how her family is coping with her son’s death, I hope the family is doing well.

Lauri's son died? I thought he was arrested for attempted murder.

Lauri is a whore. There was an episode when she was getting ready for a party at the Playboy Mansion. Long in the tooth even then, excusing the hairlip. She didn't give a shit about any of her kids. And how wonderful they all turned out.

IIRC, Lauri’s son died and Lauri is now caring for his daughter

[quote] Apparently she and Emily must have a falling out as Emily stated on WWHL last night that when she met Gina she thought they would be best friends but that wasn’t the case.

It was Emily talking about Shannon on WWHL.

Andy asked Emily what she thought of Shannon when they first met, and she said that they actually got along well, and they had a lot in common. She thought that they would be best friends, but.... no. And then she laughed.

[quote] IIRC, Lauri’s son died and Lauri is now caring for his daughter

Actually, Lauri's son Josh was on trial for attempted murder. I believe that he's still in jail.

R358 Thanks for the clarification I thought Emily was referring to Gina. I must have misheard. Interesting that she was referring to Shannon. I think in the preview for the season they showed Tamra going off on Shannon at one point as well. Obviously they have made up since filming given their joint appearance on WWHL.

R357, Lauri's son is not dead but in jail and she's still making excuses for him. If this is the best you can contribute, may I suggest the Summer Salad thread?

R357 Link please. Laurie adopted the daughter of her son Josh who is on trial for attempted murder. She doesn't have a son who died. She only had 3 kids, 2 girls and Josh.

I don't like that Emily chick. She always looks like she's smelling something unpleasant.

And I'm sure her "family workout" segment was the first time she had walked into a gym in 15 years.

Her husband seems whipped. And he needs a stylist. That hair! My God, that hair!

Emily got her law degree at Thomas Jefferson Law School in San Diego, which is the equivalent of the University of Phoenix.

Emily's rat-faced husband and his family are hideous, especially the mom. She looks like a midget extra from Wizard of Oz.

Boy, the producers sure can pick 'em for OC, can't they?

Meaning, no.

Watching the latest episode and very happy to see my favorite Real Housedog, Archie! Shannon should be paid extra for him.

The candidate casting pool must be very small.

Wealthy women with class would't go near this show, which means they have to find potential fame whores who can scrape up two nickels to rub together. I'm really surprised Tamra was ever chosen, being married to a glorified car salesman, but I guess the OC cast has had some even worse losers than that.

Please, Simon was general manager at Fletcher Jones in Newport Beach (I think it is the highest volume Benz dealership in the US). Compared to some of the other losers like Slade and Brooks, he was Bill Gates.

At one point, Slade was a successful mortgage broker. But like many in SoCal, he wanted to be in show business. Now, he's a loser.

Brooks was always a loser.

Slade was a title rep, not a mortgage broker. It takes even less skill.

This season already sucks. A third episode screaming about Michael dating. Did OC adopt a BH producer?

They need to hold off on filming until they have better things going on or more time to find better newbies.

Remember when Slade and his girlfriend Jo had their own show to document her takeover of the pop music world? Good times.

Last I heard, Jo was bartending.

Gina’s face looks like a mask. A bad mask.

Who cares? She bagged that hot husband.

B VS R

woops wrong thread

No worries r378, it's nice to see what's going on on the other coast. I imagine Carole is somewhere getting carded for cigarettes.

I've just watched the rerun of the most recent episode:

When Kellie's "Spinal Surgeon" arrived in the restaurant to make out with her at the table, as he extended his hand to greet the ladies, Shannon was checking out his face lift; I usually FFW'd passed the new Mommies, but this time I stopped on Gina's reading Vicky's fat ass - Gold; then Gina refers to Tamra as a 'Hot MILF riding a sad scooter,' I died. Love me some Gina!

Kelly's new boyfriend is fug.

I guess doing a renewal of your marriage vows is a kiss of death on this show. First Vicki, then Shannon, and both marriages imploded. Next up: Tamra.

Oh god, I just looked up "Gretchen Christine," Gretchen's handbag line to see if it could possibly still be in business, and it is! Who would buy something from her? And she reports she's undergoing IVF to try to get pregnant. So Slade is obviously still in the picture. Gretchen has obviously also had a ton of plastic surgery so that she doesn't look human anymore.

[quote] she reports she's undergoing IVF to try to get pregnant. So Slade is obviously still in the picture.

Aren't they both, like, over 90?

Just what loser Slade needs, another child he can’t afford to support.

Remember Gretchen's horrible off key song to Slade as tears ruled down his face. Tears of laughter roll down my face too when I listen to it. It's so bad. Gretchen thought she could come up with a musical number to make money like other HWs. But even the recording studio couldn't fix it.

So who was Gina's husband shacking up with all week in his bachelor pad? Girl? Guy?

I am afraid of Emily's big red gash of a mouth.

That's the least of my gash worries with that tackily dressed sow. She must have those cheap looking schmatas made in Costa Mesa- bad copies of bad originals.

Spotted: Matt's backside!

i guess nothing interesting happened on this episode.

Eddie died, Vicki had sex with multiple people, Kelly became born again, and Shannon felt empathy for a human being not named Shannon Bedor.

I really want to F/F through this entire season of these tired chicks in order to watch Denise Richards' debut on RHOBH. The B*tch had better bring it!

Denise Richards already failed as a reality show star. Remember the show she did about being a mom that featured her dad and her dogs? Boring as hell. Denise will not bring anything to RHOBH other than disappointment. She’ll make Teddy Cougar Mellencamp seem outrageously scandalous.

r393, BH is even worse than OC with the same tired hags going around in circles. I cannot believe anyone gets excited over another season of LVP and Kyle playing the same shit.

R395, you BEAST!

At least OC still has some humor, along with NY and ATL.

But Those self-important cunts on BH all take themselves waaaaaay too seriously. They are all so conscious of their images that it's palpable which makes it unwatchable IMO.

I hope fatty cut-rate lawyer and the NY girl don't get too comfortable with the salaries. They're both gone after this year.

This season's "Gina" is just getting warmed up; give her time . . .

The fat one needs to go.

r400, leave Shannon alone.

R400, leave VIcky alone!

R401, this isn't my PLATE, you fucking bitch!

R402, get off my show!

At least Shannon dresses appropriately for her age, and I doubt she weighs more than Vicki. You don't see her in skin tight mini skirts or Forever 21 outfits. Or bad fake fur.

Oooooooooooo! I'm lovin' me some Gina's big white, lacquered New Jersey Talons, right now!

The newest Fat One pronounces the "T" in "Often"!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Emily's husband seems gay to me. I've never heard a straight guy talk about "cackling women" before.

Gina's laugh is hideous and tacky. SO Long Island

Is that suggestion for Eddie's heart issue a real thing? Taking a drug that might cause him to go into cardiac arrest and then he'd be shocked back to a normal beat? that sounds crazy

Vicki invited Kelly's ex husband to thanksgiving but not her lol and her answer was "I don't remember how that happened"

Always hilarious to watch the awkward interactions between Vicki and her son Michael

r383 I'm genuinely shocked her business not only seems to still be running, but is actually moderately successful for the niche market she's in (Z-list reality star merchandise). I mean, I'm sure it costs approximately a buck fifty to manufacture 50 bags. Sell them at trade shows marketed toward the lower-middle class in adjacent cities and I'm sure you, too, can succeed in business without really trying.

The lawyer is unwatchable. What is the deal with her eyes? She looks like she's in a perpetual state of about to sneeze.

Is Emily's husband another following in the fine tradition of gay OC mates?

Oh I think so r411. They were "good friends" who just decided to get married one day. And that mother of his! Do you think she would have let him NOT get married and give her grandchildren?

r412, didn't he already have kids though, or did I miss something?

Speaking of his mother, Kelly really seemed like she was trying to be nice to her, but was actually pretty creeped out by her literally latching onto her and how she kept saying, "You can call me too!" Okay lady.

Oh, if he did I was not aware of that, r413.

There are two other girls in this family pic so i'm assuming they are his.

Also if you flip through that series, his mullet was everything.

The Mormon husband will not be able to take the backlash he's going to get - I sense another RH divorce coming

The mother-in-law is the biggest freak show ever. Besides being 4 feet tall, whoever did her plastic surgery should lose their license .

LOL at Gina's tacky talons. They look like Lee Press-ons.

Vicki's son Michael just isn't comfortable in front of a camera, which is why he's rarely on. It's got nothing to do with his mom.

r419, would you be comfortable on camera with that loon Vicki?

Ever since Vicki showed up at Michael's frat party unannounced and proceeded to do a keg stand and then cried to some anonymous sorority girl because he wasn't overjoyed to see her, I have had my doubts about her skills at motherhood.

Looking at the flashback footage and pics from 10 years ago on last night's episode, Michael doesn't look too different and maybe only 20 lbs heavier. Briana looks like a completely different person. 10 years ago she was reasonably attractive and very fit. Now she's bloated and completely unsexy at just 33 years old

R420, that's not the point. We're supposed to believe that we are watching "real" interactions. Michael can't forget cameras are there. Again, why he's rarely on.

Vicki is dispicable

[quote] Vicki is dispicable

And deplorable.

As for Emily's mother-in-law, that lady is THIRSTY! More so than even the new housewives.

She couldn't resist getting her ugly mug on camera. Bitch was totally making the other ladies uncomfortable, because she wouldn't stop getting in the scenes.

Notice how she went right next to Kelly at dinner, because Kelly was the center of attention. Then when Tamra, Vicki and Kelly tried to run away outside, she FOLLOWED them and sat at Kelly's feet, and STILL got her mug on camera. The ladies couldn't get away from her, but I think they were just trying to be polite to an elderly woman.

THIRSTY, THIRSTY, THIRSTY!!

I'm watching last night's ep

1) those hags need to dress their age. Seriously

2) I'd bet Eddie's AFib at his age was brought on because he took 'roids in the past to bulk himself up. Not uncommon for steriods to mess with your heart

Speaking of AbFab, Jackie--the ancient plastic surgery midget at dinner--was the best part of the night.

Emily's MIL is the new "Where's Waldo?" of RHOC (replacing Slade)!

She needs to pop up in random scenes, in her leather pants, lingerie tops, and stretched, heavily made of face and hair extensions, of RHOBH and VPR episodes!

Love her!

R427 her name isn't Jackie it's Pary, a Persian name

Yes r428! Let's play Where's Pary? No need to dress her up like Waldo in a hat and loud shirt-she will stand out in crowded scenes as is!

I really hope her son watched these episodes and became completely mortified by his mother and will never let her be on TV again.

Eddie was a total fucking prick to Tamra in this latest episode. Granted, I can't stand her, but she didn't deserve his verbal abuse, heart problem or no heart problem. She should've told him to fuck off and handle it on his own.

I'm surprised Briana & Ryan are still married. He was such a dick to Lydia's mum in season 8.

r432, they are both too busy eating to notice each other.

Emily's goddamned mother in law clearly binge watched RHOM and is trying to steal Elsa's crown!!! Fuck you bitch. Its like Bravo said "Watch these tapes!"

I KNEW Elsa, and YOU are NO ELSA!!!!

I am shocked Bravo actually filmed an entire season of Gina without her husband. Or did he film and then it have to be edited out?

r434 I was just going to ask that! I haven't seen this yet but she sounds like Mama Elsa, she can't be that horrific, is she?

Oh my god, I'm watching "Cheers" on Hulu and who comes in with the playboy playmates but one Jeana Keough, looking really good, she even had some lines with Sam! Season 3, ep 15 "King of the Hill". Damn, I forget that Jeana was actually kind of famous.

R437 Jeana was gorgeous--out of all the ZZ Top girls, she was far and away the standout in terms of sex appeal.

Jeana got legs and she knows how to use them

OC is so stale

Jeana turned out great-looking kids too.

Too bad they were all trash.

I don't think the daughter is trash. She married some sports guy. The youngest son (Colton?), don't know what he's up to and Shane- I'd eat that ass up to his tonsils, trash or not.

They were all right-wingers, including Kara. The two boys had rage issues and treated their mom like crap.

Thanks, R444- we've seen the show.

So Gina has never been to the husband's apt and doesn't even know where it is? WTF? Why do these people agree to this show with so many secrets?

I don't think it was a secret. Didn't she announce she was getting divorced at the beginning of the season? Their mediocre house is on the market.

Shannon said David was sending her texts late at night calling her a fat lazy bitch?

$30,000 a month for Shannon???

Damn girl, you were dumb to give that up and settle for $22,500. She's way too nice.

After all that stupid cunt David put her through, she should have BLED HIM DRY.

Between the show and now QVC, Shannon is making decent money. I wouldn't call her a lazy bitch- she's got the 3 girls to take care of too.

She also due half of the money from the house sale, if she doesn't have it already.

I've always like Shannon because she has heart.

She's batshit crazy, but not mean spirited.

I honestly hope she finds a nice guy, but with her age and temperament, I'm not so sure about that.

It might just be her and Archie for the long haul.

Me too r451, in fact, I think a lot of us think that. At any rate, she has plenty of money so won't have to worry about that. And now she is free of his cunt mom who talked shit about her constantly, and you can't put a price on that.

I would die if my mother talked about bjs in front of me like Vicki did with Michael there

R448 she is fat and lazy

Emily looks like Jennifer Coolidge when Jennifer started to go overboard with the plastic surgery. Love me some Jennifer, but she looks freakish now.

R451 the fuck she's not mean spirited. She's a mean girl.

David wanted to control all of the money, and did petty things like not paying Shannon's water bill so it was shut off. Who does that to their own kids? It's no wonder she wanted a monthly check.

Plus, he's been hiding money for at least a couple years- the reason for a forensic accountant.

He's a pig with crazy eyes.

I am definitely not the only one who noticed a very obvious bruise under Gina's eye tonight, yeah? Like clearly covered up by makeup, but the SUV scene with Emily, come on...What's going on there?

Nothing, probably one of her bratty croch fruit hit her in the face with a toy. Her husband was long gone.

Her husband has some zest to him, but it's evident he hates his life and women. He's probably a DLer.

Is Shannon rich? Or is David the rich one?

They are both rich now. Just 50% less.

I can see why Gina's husband did want to do the show. Their whole personal life is now on blast. How many questions will she get at the reunion about him and what he does without her knowledge?

I like Gina, I think she can create some drama because she's a loudmouth and she's honest. Emily though.. idk, she comes across as too nice and too grounded. I don't think she fits with this group.

She's actually pretty hot - why would the husband be avoiding and/or cheating on her?

[quote] Emily though.. idk, she comes across as too nice and too grounded. I don't think she fits with this group.

She's probably just doing the show because her thirsty mother-in-law wants to get her mug on camera.

Shannon's veggie burger has been nominated for “Best Burger” in the 2018 QVC Customer Food Choice Award! Seems like her food line is taking off

Shannon’s food is regularly featured on “In The Kitchen With David” QVC’s #1 Show - It must be doing quite well. You don’t earn a spot on his shows unless you’ve got the sales to back it up. I’m glad she’s doing well she can throw it in David’s face.

I didn’t know until someone mentioned upthread that her water had been turned off because David had failed to pay the bill. Who does that to their kids?

[quote] Shannon's veggie burger has been nominated for “Best Burger” in the 2018 QVC Customer Food Choice Award

Lisa Rinna's gonna be pissed! So are the other ladies.

They're all probably wondering why the fuck they didn't get some QVC action.

Tamra's gym and Vicki's wine didn't even get off the ground, and here comes Shannon making a killing on QVC. Haha!

Tamra is making $600k a year- anything extra is a bonus. Her gym does well, but would never make her rich. And Vicki was lucky that she did the show- those quarterly insurance checks come forever.

who would want to buy insurance from Vicki the cancer scammer enabler? I don't understand how her business has continued to grow in the last 3 years after that scandal

Lisa Rinna is making a mint on QVC

R471, it's a decent product. At least you'll have something, unlike The Gretchen or Lynne Beef Curtain line of shitty accessories.

Not getting all the Shannon love here. She's a selfish, clingy, me-me-me everything happens to me/its all about how I feel frau extraordinaire. No wonder David is so nasty to her; I agree his behavior is vicious but people like that are def a trigger for frustration

David is a moron. No attorney? He's lucky she agreed to less money.

I think the Shannon love is because she doesn't dress or act like a tacky whore.

I have a feeling that Shannon settled for less, because she was afraid of physical retaliation. I'm thinking the rumors that David used to beat her or true, especially since she talked about how he used to get into these rages if she wasn't home in time, when the kids were small.

[Quote] unlike The Gretchen or Lynne Beef Curtain line of shitty accessories.

Lmao

What about my beef curtains?

Jesus, no one wants to see that! There was enough of Tamra's baseball tits a couple shows ago.

I can't imagine what it's like for Shannon's 3 teen daughters to have to go to school with everyone knowing about their parents' breakup and their father's hostile behavior. Last year they had to deal with the embarrassment of Shannon chucking a plate towards Kelly at a restaurant. Just embarrassing. They don't seem fazed on camera but I/m sure some other kids try making fun of them.

Some kids would probably think it would be cool to be on a reality show, no matter what a bitter, nasty , loud-mouthed cunt your mother was.

David did not physically abuse Shannon. If you believe that he did, you are really dumb.

Wait, is that girl at r478 Lynn's daughter?

I don’t watch this anymore but I saw a couple of things from random surfing. Lynn’s daughter was arrested for drugs and spent a few days in jail. Gina was at a popular lesbian club in WeHo. How did she wind up there?

Lynne's daughter is a porn whore, darlin'.

The season where Tamra 'claimed' her faith and accepted Jeezus as her savior, Lynne Curtin arrived for Tamra's baptism.

Lynne's facelift had fallen, and she arrived at said event pushing a baby stroller. (No, the baby stroller didn't contain a chihuahua puppy; it contained one of her porn-star daughter's babies.)

I just caught up, and I have to say I thought that this season was GARBAGE at first- BUT its actually pretty good. It is light, fun, gossipy- I don't mind either of the new housewives..

Its very OC.

Compared to the unmitigated disaster that was RHOBH, this show is at least FUN, and not 100% a commercial for the ladies professional ventures like that goddamned Vanderpump and Richards- and fucking whatshernames "singing" career and Dorit's swimwear line in which she STOLE 300K from the investor. What a fucking joke.

I'm just not feeling the new housewives. They seem boring and drama-free, especially Emily. She doesn't fit in at all. She's too smart for the rest of the women.

Are they saving Eddie's fatal heart attack for the season finale?

Emily Simpson, the smart attorney and party planner (lol) graduated from Thomas Jefferson Law School in San Diego. That school will take anyone and is currently on probation due to their abysmal bar passage rate.

Well Tamra has certainly turned on Shannon.

Not even not that can make this season interesting.

The candidate pool producers have to choose from must be quite small.

wow in the previews for next episode Emily the lawyer says she'll kill Kelly lol

and lmao at those young pics of Eddie those look like porn profile pics you see on their websites

If they didn't introduce Emily's husband, I would have assumed he was the standard Housewife Gay Best Friend.

I think a prereq for getting on OC is that your husband is gay.

Emily's husband looks like a rat, except that actual rats are cute because they are supposed to look like rats, humans aren't. He's also an asshole, Kelly is right.

Who cares about Emily's husband?

We need more of Gina's husband!!!!

Were the shots of young Eddie in memoriam? They need some new plot lines.

R488 next episode Gina talks about having problems with Matt. So it seems like he must have been against the show from the beginning

I am still surprised they signed Gina if her husband did not film at all.

Kelly was a scream showing up to feed the homeless in her designer "homeless" attire. She will do anything to stay on the show, because she has no money. Mark my words, major drama coming from her.

David didn't physically abuse Shannon he MENTALLY abused her which is alot more fun to watch.

Kelly and her daughter talking about buying a new home for $1 million instead of $4 million must be hilarious to watch for those families of 10 shoved into a two bedroom apartment in Queens.

It was $1.6, which is not much in Newport Coast. And she's not buying anything unless she stays on the show and gets a raise. Or finds a rich 65 year old fool.

R502 I thought the same thing. The fuck she showed up to the food bank wearing that hat like it was cold? She's nuts but great reality tv.

I'd love to know how much Shannon is making. She has to be between $200,000-400,000 by now because she has shared so much personal drama with the show. The last few years have really revolved around her marriage issues, weight gain, divorce and weight loss. Vicki is the original but hasn't done shit since the cancer scam.

I would think Shannon has to be making half a mil.

Vicki might be the "OG" but she is definitely not earning her keep. Boring and obnoxious. Just because she's been there the longest doesn't mean she should stay any longer.

I finally get it. Shannon is the most self-absorbed person ever.

Shannon is the best of the group, love her

Shannon is the BEST harpy in the group, not to be confused with being a decent person. She's shrill, obnoxious and grasping, with no sense of propriety or dignity. Her husband was certainly no prize; they deserved each other. But their daughters certainly don't deserve to be raised with them as role models.

R510- BRILLIANTLY put. She really is a harpy! She is good tv. She has ZERO self awareness in many ways. I admire that she puts it all out there!

Shannon last year, $424k and change.

Shannon asked for a large raise this season if she was going to feature her divorce drama on the show. The figure R512 is referencing of $424K is correct and comes directly from Shanon and David’s divorce documents. Shannon is probably making $600-750K this season. Keep in mind this is Bravo’s #2 or #3 show swapping places with RHOBH depending on the season. It makes a lot of money for the network.

Kelly is probably making $300-400K at this point. Tamra is probably up around the $750K figure and I would imagine Vicki is around $900K. Those are just my guesses.

So did Kelly beat the shit out of Emily, or vice-versa?

Did Emily's thirsty mother-in-law break up the fight, so that she should get her ugly mug on camera?

it was off tonight for Labor Day

No wonder this thread wasn't active today. Thanks, R515.

Guess who is lurking here? Kelly Dodd!

Kelly please get the 411 on Gina's hot hubby

I must be the only one, but I actually LIKED Peggy and looked forward to her second season. I imagine her getting into multiple arguments with Kelly and ultimately slapping Vicky.

Then again, her husband was vaguely rodential and she somehow managed to always have greasy yet straw-like hair.

R518, I'm sure she's fucked him by now. Girl moves fast.

Let us know when Eddie comes out of the closet or croaks.

lmfao @ Shannon getting her own scooter she's such a needy attentionwhore!

Just saw the party scene haha Kelly is fucking hilarious. I love how she just walked up to Steve and started confronting him. Then when Shane butt in, she started calling him a dork, loser and finally in front of Emily, a bitch. Emily the lawyer said she'd kill Kelly hahaha. funny as shit

and damn Eddie did theater in college! His headshots look like porn profile pics from the 90s

Eddie did theater? Why would Tamra show that? It will probably just fuel the rumors.

You can tell that Shane was embarassed by Kelly calling him a dork and a loser. Somehow, I think it must have brought him flashbacks to his teen years. She seems like the mean cheerleader, and he was the school dork. It was an odd scene.

And Icky's boyfriend Steve really is a PUSSY. Typical deplorable, but Kelly's line of questioning had him backed into a corner. At first he tried to deny it or play it off (the Page Six thing), but when she threatened to pull up the article, he ran away like a pussy!! "I'm not going to get involved in your drama." But ya did, Blanche! Ya DID get involved in the drama. What a coward.

I think my favorite scene of the night was watching Shannon chow down at Tamra's party. There was no time for her to get involved in any drama because she was so busy shoveling that food into her pie hole! She cracks me up.

I don't understand the people who on these reality shows and then say "I'm not getting involved in the drama". You know what these shows are about so either come on and play or don't come on at all. Kelly is crazy and an awful person but I give her credit for talking to men the same way she talks to the other women. She's not afraid of anyone and it makes for fun viewing.

for those who missed it, Bravo kindly uploaded the whole scene (it's a cliffhanger for next week)

They should just change the name of the franchise to “Your Husband Is a Fucking Fa**ot!!” since that’s all that these women seem to scream at each other.

I missed fat "attorney" MIL this ep. She and Kelly would have made for a great bitch fight.

It was nice of Tammy to blow up Eddie's HONCHO pics for his party

Ok I gave Eddie the benefit of the doubt before because who would eat Tammy's box just to prove theyre not a homo but gurl...Eddie is so gay. He's had cock in and on him before.

What in the hell is Tamra doing, posting those HUGE photos of Eddie?

Is she purposely trying to out him? Between the comments about him doing "theater" in college, and the totally gay shirtless pics, It's as if she's saying, "my husband is gay!"

She's such a mental case.

Uh, Tambalz, your gay husband has a heart condition that could cause him to drop dead at any minute.

And you're making him move furniture in your house?

Brilliant.

Tamra is such white trash. Her drunken scene in the golf club with Vickie's boyfriend, where she went on and on about fucking, was painful to watch. I guess she's dropped the "born again Christian" plotline this season.

Maybe Tamra's having a breakdown because of Eddie's health problems.

She seems one crisis away from the loony bin.

Tamra thrives on parties and drunken vacations, and Eddie's messing with that! How dare he have health problems.

I don't think Eddie should removing furniture.. Poor guy, I feel sorry for them both.

Eddie is not good looking today, but man, he was FUGLY back in his "theater" days.

Tamra is being overshadowed by Shannon and Kelly. She knows she needs to step up the crazy if she wants to stay on tv. And, let's face it, they need that Bravo paycheck.

Trampra would out Eddie herself if it meant she gets to continue being a fameho

[Quote] She seems one crisis away from the loony bin.

Hasn't that always been the case?

Yes, R539.

If that's Vicki's BF at R526, he's not very attractive. And seems to be an asshole. Wants to start shit but can't handle being confronted about it.

Are Eddie's pics good enough to have to watch the episode?

R541 here just found someone took a photo and posted on twitter. THese were taken when Eddie was in college and did theater. Given his age and the styling these have to be from 1993-1997. I'd lean more to 93-95

they really remind me of those gay porn studio shots they'd have gay porn actors take from this period.

Thank you, R542. Wow, those look rather hideous. The body's not bad, but the rest is kind of tragic.

So Gina emphatically said another woman did not cause their split. Something is off there.

Vicki can pick 'em. Ex police with multiple abuse charges. Maybe he can pummel her face into something vaguely human.

R540 That's the worst acting I've seen on a Real Housewives franchise since Bethenny pretended to be shaking so badly she could barely bring a glass of liquor to her lips.

R543 "Tragic" is a very apt word for those.

Tamra being obnoxious to Vicky’s boyfriend was so staged and desperate and fake and embarrassing.

It must have been tough for the editors to find shots of Vicky in which she’s not laughing her head off.

R545 Citation needed.

Kelly was hilarious at Tambalz soiree. "That's your husband!? He's a little BITCH."

Hopefully this link works. Vicki picked another loser who was almost fired from the police department.

551 here. This story is nothing- the PD paid a fortune to protect Vicki's latest pig boyfriend. Just Google Steve Lodge police abuse.

Yeah r551! Who's the asshole now?

Everyone in the area is laughing at Vicki's latest bf. He's as bad as Brooks, but he has a good pension and she doesn't have to fix his teeth- that's about the best she can hope for.

Steve Lodge ran for Anaheim city council and lost twice, the second time using the address of a rental he did not live in to qualify. His actual residence was in Murrieta, which he purchased with a VA loan for $500k.

Vicki's place must look like a mansion in Beverly Hills.

I don't know Vicki personally and have no clue what she's like when the cameras aren't rolling. But I don't think she's a good enough actress to portray the role of a screaming harpy so well if that weren't her default mode. I'm not going to get into her looks or body; that is what it is, but all I will say is that I've lived in Orange County before, very close to her, and that there were a lot of blond, attractive single women around if that's what you would be into.

So I have to think that if you're going to apply for the job of being Vicki's boyfriend on the show, you have to be somewhat of a grifter and a famewhore, like Brooks. Why else would you want to put up with her and all of the faux drama being on the show entails? Do boyfriends get paid just for showing up?

I don't watch the other housewife shows. Are divorces pretty common? I have to wonder if being on these shows amps up the drama in your life so much, and the fame and money get so enticing, that these women become gross caricatures of themselves and the husbands feel the need to jump ship. Donn seemed to be a pretty normal guy. I wonder if they would have divorced if she'd never been on the show.

I think reality tv has changed a lot of their personalities and fucked them up to the max.

Seriously, though, would any of you actually buy insurance or investment products from Vickie's company, knowing what you know about her? I wouldn't steer very clear of that Coto place.

^^ WOULD steer clear. WOULD.

I was told that whoever is with the housewive in those little opening family grouping shots get paid, so Steve is getting money. I heard that Brianna and her hubby made $200k for their last season on the show.

R556, Vicki continually says she should never have divorced Donn. The occasional 3-ways and sex clubs don't look so bad in hindsight.

But her love tank wasn't full r561.

Yeah, well it's hard to keep 3 holes filled.

Who could have stayed married to that shrew after her meltdown over the "family van?"

What meltdown r564? are you talking about when they were picked up to fly to their crummy time share a few years back?

yes, the car service sent some mid-sized minivan to take them to the airport and Vicki became incensed that they hadn't sent a limo. She kept screeching about the "family van" they'd sent, like it was a huge personal insult. She came off as unhinged.

I always thought she requested a family van (huge ass van) and they sent some small SUV thing. I'd flip out a bit too if I was trying to make a flight. Not to that extent of course.

[quote] I was told that whoever is with the housewive in those little opening family grouping shots get paid

Archie too?

Archie and his bunny....

Here you go, R565.

Holy shit r570, I forgot how satanic her voice got! Yeh, that would be my cue to leave.

How did Shannon get so lucky, with Archie?

He is the most adorable dog.

It just shows what an asshole David is, because when Archie was sick, David didn't even care. He was like, "whatever."

First thing Shannon noticed was that Archie wasn't feeling well, and she nursed him back to health.

Tells you all you need to know about David Beador. Shannon should change her name back. Anything is better than BEADOR.

Vicki is so desperate for a man, it's pathetic. Who would date someone like that? Steve isn't a grifter, but a violent ex-cop. A simple Google search would have told her the guy was an ass- but I'm sure she didn't care. Repulicunt.

Tamra infers she and a are moving on to 'Bigger and Better Things' -- AS IF!

The Baby Grand will soon find a new home in a Double Wide in Palm Springs -

I haven't watched any yet, I'm dvring it when they run a marathon. Does Ryan's baby live with them? What about Sarah?

Ryan and Eddie make a more believeable couple than Tamra and Eddie.

In this most recent episode, Ryan looked pretty hot with his baseball cap and tattoos. Just Eddie's type.

Actually, considering her salary, that's a fairly modest home. And while her taste is too Restoration Hardware for me, Tammy's place is nice- especially when you see Kelly's broke-down beach rental with all the blinged-out crap from her house. Kelly never saw a crystal or rhinestone that she didn't love.

Tampra never once inferred that they were flipping that house. They haven’t owned it for a year. What gives DL sleuths?

R578 Um, yeah. Didn't they just move into it? And really, is moving again the best thing for Eddie and the heart he ruined by doing performance enhancing steroids in his 20s?

Even if Tammy is making 600K a year now, there's no guarantee she'll be making that next year; she could be dumped at any time. And I will bet you she and Eddie have never saved a dime. That's probably all the house she could afford with what I'm sure is the very expensive, trashy lifestyle she leads. Remember when she turned 40 and she and Simon rented a yacht for a big party and he supposedly gave her a $40,000 Rolex? There's no way any of that was real but they felt they had to compete with some of the other housewives who really did have money. Now that she makes a paycheck, I'll bet she loves to treat herself.

Ryan has never been hot. He is completely grotesque physically and as a person.

R580, no there aren't guarantees about anything. But they had the proceeds from Eddie's house ( who actually is quite frugal), and if Tammy Sue was that hard up she'd sell the house herself. She still has an active real estate license and it's costing her at least $50k to use another agent, and more if she found her own buyer.

r580, if she even had an inkling that she would be dumped from the show, she would orchestrate a split from Eddie in a heartbeat to provide more drama.

The fact that Tammy Sue was a realtor at one time confirms my belief that realtors are trash.

I remember years ago there was a link to the Coto Insurance newsletter put out by Vicki's office. Shit formatting, horrible spelling, all you would expect. And of course that awards thing or whatever at her house on season 2 or so where she got lit and fell in front of everyone. I guess she's just like my insurance broker whom I talk to twice a year to renew my insurance and that's it. I can't imagine a shrieking harpy like her could bring in any business. I guess her son was kicking ass at it she said. I still don't understand what they do exactly, I mean I thought they just handled local accounts but I remember it looked like they were doing cold calling and straight up phone sales. Her son's name is Wolfsmith? I see there's no nepotism there.

You don’t have to be a genius or even half way smart to successfully sell insurance. Have you ever met an insurance agent? Not exactly Mensa material.

If you like the price, you buy the insurance. The agent herself has very little to do with purchasing decisions.

It’s like buying shoes. Do you buy the shoes because they’re comfortable, fashionable, and a good price? Or do you buy the shoes because the shoe saleswoman is so darn good at her job?

Well, tell that to all the under-employed or those making minimum wage if it's that easy R585. We should all go into insurance!

What sayeth the DL about the never-seen hubby?

He sure loves his tank tops.

HOT!

So they are getting divorced, but it's very amicable and they are still close. and no other women involved?

Hmmmm

I guess Bravo figured that if they were going on the show, they'd get a divorce anyway, so they thought this would speed up the process. Bravo is helpful that way.

I have a feeling they were already getting a divorce when she started filming and probably colored the truth to get the job. What husband spends the entire week in his own apartment with the wife not even knowing where it is and/or visiting him?

They all have to sign releases before filming, so Bravo knew the husband wouldn't be on the show.

Considering he's hot, I am surprised there is no DL spec yet that he likes the mansex.

R594, see R590.

@R580 - There was an OC/DL insider here at the time of the yacht/Rolex thing: the Rolex was returned the to retailer the next day; and the network paid for the yacht rental.

Grifters.

I'm not sure how that equals grifters. People believe this garbage and want to be entertained and live vicariously through these "rich"people. Lynne Beef Curtin was a grifter.

Just like it came out that on Flipping Out, Jenni (Jeff's assistant) hasn't worked for him for years and was a Bravo employee. Made up reality.

I'm finally over this bullshit; here's why: in this evening's episode, where Kelly anointed the fat attorney's husband "A Bitch," there is the tuff NY/Jersey Girl, Gina, in her tuff baseball jacket, breaking up the fight.

^^ On second thought, I'm currently watching the most recent episode where Tamra uses Shannon's match-marker-blind dating experience as a 'Test Pattern' for when she's ready to trade in a.

I was watching the old episodes earlier on Monday, and two things stood out to me:

Vicki was driving Brianna to college, and in the car she said she had to call someone name "Tak Tak." Brianna said, Tak Tak? And Vicki said yeah, someone sent me a referral and they told me "No worry we go with you!" Then she said, "It was very chinka-chinka Chinaman." I couldn't believe she said that!

And then hot Shane was having a "girlfriend" come down from Canada, to stay at their house. She was a contestant in the Miss Canada pageant, and Kara made a funny comment. She said, "#1 I'm shocked that she's under 50 years old, and #2 I'm surprised that she has a vagina." Was she implying that she thinks Shane is gay?

Damn, those commentaries were brutal, back in the day.
