    Scootch over!! I'm in! Also, I know I'm not the cheese that stands alone in thinking Patricia is not as special as she & some thinks she is. She is mean as fuckall.

    Here you go, come on in!  ;-)

    in Southern Charm

    · Edited by OhGromit

    I just felt like Naomie was upset over Liz's treatment by JD (even Chelsea called him a con artist)- and too young to know not to unleash her anger at JD about it.  I found her brave and passionate-- just young!  When I was 25, I had to learn the hard way that when a married friend complains to you about their spouse, you can support them in the moment, but you have to be very careful about going further.   

    Same thing with the Patricia situation-- Naomie doesn't know that in Patricia's world, Patricia's allowed to excommunicate Kathryn, and no one (certainly not a 25 year old) is supposed to say anything about it.  I thought Naomie had major balls and was a good friend for trying to speak to her on Kathryn's behalf.  She is just passionate, and maybe a bit too bold, but her heart seems to be in the right place.    

    So I felt proud of her for speaking truth to power and standing up for women mistreated by the likes of JD (who -- phew!-- has quite the trail of lawsuits behind him), Thomas, and Patricia.

    I'll take my seat at the team Naomie table (party of one).  :-)

    in The Real Housewives Of Orange County

    I totally support Heather's outburst.  Good lord, it was refreshing.  It made me like her more!  

    Kelly is nuts, and now she's going to have her crappy behavior supported/ enabled by s-stirring reality producers.  I don't think she feels bad about how she's coming across, she's just thrilled to be famous(ish) for being a housewife.

    Heather Dubrow:"Let Them Eat Cake, But Don't Touch My Bow."

    in The Real Housewives Of Orange County

    UGH Heather Dubrow or DuBrow or EyeBrow is SO INTOLERABLY FAKE.  Have to check in and say that.  I just had a second of terrible judgment and decided to listen to her awful podcast (Heather Dubrow's World-- listen for yourself and come back and say how much you hated it).  Her voice on that podcast, how she talks, how she interacts with her hired ass-kiss girl-- OMG it is all excruciating.  

    She is really, really a fake, superficial woman.  The hole where her soul should be is gaping-- she's trying to fill it with monster-sized mansions and sideshow events starring Heather Dubrow!  and Terry Dubrow too!  

    I mean, guys.  It is sad, how this woman ticks-- it must feel awful to be her.  And it hurts to listen to her for just a few minutes.  In fact, let me warn you-- Heather Dubrow's plastic voice, booming right into your ear, may reduce your capacity to feel your own emotions and experience empathy.  Prolonged exposure likely to induce temporary or permanent loss of soul.

    S08.E18: Body Of Evidence

    Andy said that he gave Vicki an ultimatum, no Brooks, no full time HW, so we got Brooks. Andy gave Luann the same ultimatum, No Jacques (sp), no full HW position and she chose to become FOH. They need to require the same from Bethenny and every other HW that tries to pull this stunt. Either share your real life (keeping minors off camera is fine) or Bye, Bye.

    Shields doesn't have to be seen on the show but he shouldn't be off limits any more than the guys that agree to appear on camera for their SO. Last season we were treated to Bethenny crying that she was so alone, had no man in her life yet we all knew that was a lie. IMO, she does tell everyone to keep her PL off camera and the fact that no one has brought up any of her PL speaks to her control of them/production. Andy/production/Bravo would never tolerate that behavior from anyone else.

    John's behavior at the bra party could have easily been explained away as him being drunk, she, Bethenny, did not have any reason to allege illegal drug use/abuse on camera as we have never seen John, Dorinda or any of the others use/abuse drugs on camera. If they do something off camera and Bethenny feels it is acceptable for her to out that , then her off camera life/behavior and that of her current bf, are also fair game.

    I think that over time we are seeing that Andy/ Bravo have different rules for different people.  Vicki?  She had to drag Brooks on camera during their last season or two, even though it was reported that neither of them wanted to have Brooks on the show.  Asa?  Well, her boyfriend, Jermaine Jackson Jr., comes from an uber-famous family with far more pull than the likes of Andy Cohen, so Asa gets to leave him out of filming since he'd rather not.  Bethenny?  Well, she's a favorite of Andy's, and Andy will bend the rules for her, hence no one forces Bethenny to include her real-life romantic interests.  Even though it would be, ahem, real reality, and even though reality/ truthfulness is supposedly Bethenny's stock in trade.

    in The Real Housewives Of New York City

    A poster upthread said the Bethenny hatred has gotten out of control.  I agree-- I kind of think the overall hatred has gotten out of control.  Everyone doesn't hate on the same RHONY women, but there's a vibe that's very, very, very critical in the extreme, sometimes to the point of hatefulness (IMO).

    It's a gray area, cause we watch these shows partly to guffaw at the women, but sometimes I do feel sad at how much of a sport it is, dishing out pretty brutal judgment of these women.  Course Andy Cohen and the Bravo minions foster it-- they've essentially gone with a Jerry Springer model of drama creation (wind 'em up and watch 'em go).  But I can't help but wonder if we are more comfortable going after women in this way than we would if they were men... I feel there's a more intense level of judgment that we  reserve for women.  We're more comfortable scapegoating them.  IMO.  IMO.  Don't flame me for MO.  

    Anyhow, I agree with the poster upthread, I guess that's my real point.  High five, poster upthread.

    OK, I wasn't watching too closely, but was Shannon's Indian comment to Kelly bigoted?  Kelly was calling various people ugly last ep.  Which of course was nasty & idiotic & ridiculously childish.  But did Shannon imply Kelly looked like an Indian -- and was ugly because of that?  Because if she did that, Shannon just lost me FOREVER!!!!!  

    Sure, what Kelly said was like the rantings of a 5 year old.  But Shannon may have revealed herself to be deeply prejudiced.  Did I misunderstand what Shannon said?  Totally confused.

    no, she was just saying that Kelly's costume was something other than a 70's outfit-- her response to the "Mrs. Roper" thing.  She kind of conflated Kelly's bullying into that one thing, and she was responding with her own critique of Kelly's costume.   Of course Shannon wasn't saying Indians are ugly, she's not a nasty ignoramus, and that would be a bizarre thing to say even for a nasty ignoramus.

    I have observed over the seasons that the harder my personal life is, the less tolerance I have for these women.  I am 54 years old, unemployed, teetering on the verge of bankruptcy and the dissolution of a 30 year marriage and these women are so trivial, spiteful and spoiled that within an hour they can ruin a happy occasion on a beautiful yacht.  I never say never, but I'm not sure I can hang with the rest of the season.  Coming here and reading your erudite and spot-on posts will probably more than suffice for me.

    Bluedog!  I'm sorry to hear you're going through such tough stuff.  For what it's worth, I care.  Sending good thoughts your way.  :-)

    Has Tom been on the show before?  I've missed a lot of seasons so I haven't seen him before if he's been on but he'll be on next week and I'm pulling for him to be a nice guy.  He's getting dropped into the shark tank for sure.

    Tom was on the show, season 1, episode 4 ("Social Wife").  I went back and watched (on Hulu-- it's in the first segment or so).  

    It was definitely Tom, and what an ass!  He stood out to me at the time for being a total jerk (he seemed to me like the kind of guy that likes to put women down to their faces, thinking it'll make them want to scramble to please him.  He called Ramona's friend promiscuous, and Ramona lazy, all as part of his awesome small talk.)  

    At the time, Ramona did a TH saying how awful Tom and his friend were, and she literally said, "if that's what's out there, I'm staying in my marriage forever."  The irony!!!!

    I think Luann is just as surprised/shocked as the others that she found love again and so soon with Tom, so she keeps repeating it. I don't think she is trying to rub it in with the others but is still in disbelief about it herself. During her special, it looked like she was the same way with the Count when they were with her family, all giddy, girly, gushing about how in love she was. LOL It is both annoying and endearing/funny at the same time, which seems very true to the Luann we have seen over the years. Most of the time she is cool, a little detached and guarded but the little girl full of delight shows up time to time. LOL

    I think these men fit her childhood rescue fantasies, and that's why she gets so giddy.  The count, a millionaire with a penthouse... Lu is always sure to drop the details that she finds significant about her "loves".  Good lord, the fact that she banged Rey is proof enough that she is attracted to money.

    So tonight Beth says she got 'texts'.  I thought it was video or photos.  From someone who doesn't have any connection to anyone?   And she's going to tell Lu (on camera)  because.....why?  The bitch is in full swing.  She is 'ugly' and doesn't give a 'f' about anyone except herself.

    I'm guessing photos or videos were sent via text.

    Kelly Meza-Dodd

    in The Real Housewives Of Orange County

    Terrible person, fake, has clearly watched all or many seasons but pretends she hasn't.  Bad role model, depressing life.  No discernible accomplishments (other than making varsity cheer, you guys!).  Awful relationship with a creepy narcissist.  This is escapism??!!  

    OH and BTW, Kelly's instagram and twitter accounts both use the handle RHOC.  She opened them in May 2016.  So she was either never a twit or on insta prior to May 2016, or she was and deleted the old accounts/ cleansed her social media history when she started the show.

    I was wathcing a movie on E last night and guess what? Seem Dr. Dubrow has ANOTHER new show. Botched by Nature or some such tomfoolery. Apparently he and Paul go around the country? Not sure about that but it is show no. 3 for him. So I'm guessing that he isn't home more! Although I side eye anyone(Heather) who lives a life of luxury and no money worries and then bitches because the person who works there ass off to provide said life of luxury isn't home 24/7 to rub your feet.

    Such important work this man does.  I mean self-important.  When Heather said at the end of his life, he would not regret that he didn't do an extra dozen shows, Terry's face said "hell yeah I would!"  Terry is a narcissist/ fame-whore.  It annoys me that Heather only worries about *Terry's* future feelings/regret about missing his kids' childhood.  How do/will the kids feel?  Neither of them seem to consider that.

    Okay, so I missed part of tonight's episode because I had to take my mom to the ER.  Why did that dark-haired lady with the thick accent (Nina?) hate Kelly so much?  Where did Nina's hatred toward Kelly come from?  Was it discussed/revealed?

    Terry knocking into Heather kind of cracked me up (I know I'm horrible) because he was just trying to cut loose, dance, and have some fun.  I was also like "Awwww" when Terry confessed he was upset when disco music came to an end.  Most guys wouldn't admit that.

    Vicki's 70's costume reminded me of one of my "Rock Star Dolls" outfits that I had when I was 10.  Exactly like it.  And to the poster up thread who wondered if streaking was really a thing back in the 70's the answer is yes.  Meghan's IVF story line, (sigh).  Just no.  Me and Jimmy have zero fucks to give about that.  No, I take that back.  I probably care a hair more than he.  Talk about figuratively and literally being checked out.   Jimmy thy name is profound indifference.  Why would Meghan want to be married to someone like that?  She must be beyond lonely.  I hope she doesn't think a baby will fix things.

     

    Hey I'm sorry to hear that, I hope your mom is okay now or gets better soon!

    But that is what is great about the blogs or the shows. Everyone takes away something different based on their perspective.  She said she was trying to be funny, and some people will get it/like it, while some people won't. Some will like it simply because it's different and shows that the gal is aware of actual things going on in the world that don't involve the frivolous. Others will wish that she kept it light and checked her politics at the door (although clearly we know all about her politics because she has already told us). At the end of the day, I suspect that if you like her, you like her blog - regardless of what she is trying to say - and if you don't like her you don't like her blog. Or probably anything about her. 

    Yeah, I mean I think Carole was just poking fun at how ridiculous it is that the Real Housewives are so famous.  You know?  As in by ironically associating her required Bravo blog (we must feed the fans our thoughts) to the I Have a Dream speech, to the speeches of first ladies.  I thought it was kind of funny.  And I'm not a Carole fan.
