Maybe I'm naive, but do people really purchase perfume online without smelling it first?

I just realized how angry I am that Tamra got full immunity on the reunion regarding her POS son and his arrest. What the heck?

I think both Vicki and Tamra are Andy favorites, which is why I think Tamra got full immunity at the reunion regarding the Ryan disaster.

Totally agree with you. I remember thinking that it was very telling when she said in a talking head that her disliking Brooks was a way to get back at her mom and say, "you're not perfect, either."

Sorry, lol! Hate responding on this damned iPhone!

God I have such a sick love-to-hate relationship with Kara Keough and Briana. I predict Briana will make her way back on the show. For all her talk about hating drama, she created a lot of it this season. I'm sorry to even doubt her accusations about Brooks because of their severity, but I just can't trust someone who smiles as they chew someone out and humiliate their mother on national television. Whenever she brings him up she gets this shit-eating grin on her face. I'm sorry but if I thought someone was physically abusing my mom I would certainly not be smiling!!

I think he's a total gold-digger. I wonder what kind of exit package he has from the marines if he left on medical discharge. For a guy who loved the service and claimed that any marine job is superior to a civilian one, his actions certainly say otherwise. I knew it would only be a matter of time before those two were back in the OC enjoying the benefits of the bank of Vicki.

So mad that the reunion forums are locked because I just watched them this week! I just found Ryan's profile on LinkedIn - interesting summary! https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-culberson-b303a6103 I have to say, I'm STILL confused about the whole Brooks/Vicki timeline. Seems Briana knew about him for several years, but e dry time she reveals something new about him, the story is slightly different.

Yes! I guess now that he threw out his back he's more than happy to live next to the bank of Vicki. I know he was hurt in the service, but I still can't stand the guy. I suspect that living with chronic pain will only intensify his temper and shorten his fuse even more... ROFL!

I find her really annoying. I had high hopes for her based on her education and obvious brains, but it seems she went the route of her mom by marrying a pro athlete and having good looking kids. Well, we don't know that yet, she's still pregnant, lol. Okay seriously? I generally like Mike but I get irritated when people who party through college and land jobs because of their parents are able to buy a home in Pacific Beach! Vicki posted this on her FB page: I'm so excited for my son Mike Wolfsmith. His offer was just accepted on an amazing home in Pacific Beach. He will now be an official homeowner! Woo hoo! Congratulations Mike." https://www.facebook.com/vickigunvalson?fref=ts

Except that she did say she wanted to leave, for a "fresh start." She claimed she could be happy living anywhere. I guess that's not the case. I still think she likes the perks that being Vicki's daughter brings, and living next to her will just multiply that tenfold.

Yes. That's why Chris looked like he was going to cry every time Lauren and Vito touched. Sadly, to her family, I think that her wedding has been the only thing Lauren has done right in her life so far, besides losing weight.

Except maybe to sic your son on an obviously intoxicated woman? What exactly was that orange wetsuit Vicki was wearing in her talking heads? The baptism in the pool made me laugh so hard. I mean, is it really necessary to submerge your entire body whilst wearing a white, see-through gown? I'm laughing just typing this.

Wait, are you serious? OMG I'm so sorry I missed that!

Are you kidding? Who has a honeymoon before they tie the knot? And why go away with your inlaws and parents? Not very "romantical," as I can imagine...

Briana is awfully chatty on Vicki's Instagram - and then when someone responds to her she gets defensive and plays victim. Sound familiar?

"I don't think this is universally true, or maybe not for women patrons. Two years ago, I decided for some reason that at the age of 58 I had to read Judy Blume's Fourth Grade Nothing, and finding it hilarious, I tracked down all the others of that series at the town library. I was welcomed to the children's section. What about parents who want to go pick up books for their kids, who may not have accompanied them?" They can browse or enter the children's area but generally they aren't supposed to loiter or set up camp unless accompanying a child. But yes I agree it was played up for the show, much like everything. Sorry, can't seem to quote the right way on my phone!

Actually, he decided against the California Highway Patrol because he got pulled over one night and decided he didn't want to be one of "those guys." I'm wondering what the heck is up with his fiance - is she a black widow? Also, I can't deal with this cancer story anymore. Vicki created her perfect Trojan horse with this one, but still - to have anyone suggest showing medical records to "prove" that you're telling the truth? Whoever heard of such a thing? My stepfather was diagnosed with stage 4 squamous cell carcinoma in his throat when I was in college. His doctor told him flat out that his prognosis wasn't good. He was self employed and couldn't afford to take time off work so he didn't miss a day during the entire course of his treatment. Did he look sick? Yes, but only to those who knew him. Others just commented that he lost weight. Bottom line is, like others have mentioned, cancer doesn't hit everyone the same way. For anyone to dare to say that someone isn't sick is, well, sick. I hate Bravo for manufacturing this storyline in such a way that, if we DO find out Brooks has cancer, we are going to be happy. I mean, really? I miss the family van days...

Briana is the new Jill Zarin - talk about taking a nosedive

Who's the ghostwriter? And as a librarian, I have to just virtually high-five the librarian who kicked him out of the children's area. While it seems like a silly rule, adults are not allowed to use the children's area unless they are accompanying a child. Good for her for making him follow the rules, and balls to him for passive aggressively shaming her for doing so! Also, I love how Caroline says this book writing is "right up his alley..." And how she drove him there and set him up in the kid's section like he's a third-grader writing his first book report. From stripper-carwashes to books. Unless you're Bukowski, sorry - no dice.

Seriously! I watch the old seasons with such nostalgia often, lol!

Sarah is shilling clothing on her Instagram page. What the hell happened to her business? Did she just sell it and move downstate with Ryan? Wtf? And why on Earth did Ryan and Tamra both accompany Sandy on her blind date? FWIW, I think Sandy has a great figure for her age - something Tamra (quite unfairly) seems to have inherited from her. I have to wonder what Ryan is thinking now that he's got 4 kids and a wife. Okay, I get that the honeymoon period is over, but what was he really expecting? God, that family gives me nightmares.

Vito and Lauren look miserable and they haven't even gotten married yet. Are they even having sex? They seem to hate each other!

I am crying from laughing so hard. To answer your question - probably since he moved out and started trying to recreate his college years that never happened with constant beer drinking, wing and pizza eating.

See, what bothered me about Briana's situation is that she felt the need to marry away from Vicki, versus doing what Michael has done and just going off on her own. She's a grown woman with choices - a lucrative career and no student loan debt. She could have moved anywhere to become a nurse, but she chose to stay in Orange County. I wish she'd own some of her choices. I would be embarrassed to admit how many times I've seen the early season of RHOC, but I never remember Vicki saying anything negative at all about Colby, unless it was said outside the show. Not saying it didn't happen, but I am surprised.
