And why is that a BIG red flag, exactly?
Because there's something wrong with an grown man who sees himself as "the child".

So Ryan thinks that his mother giving him money is a family thing, not Eddie's business? But Eddie is his mother's family also, so it would be his business.
Oh, and Ryan -- the only people who have the right to claim dibs on Tamra's earnings as "family money" are: 1) her minor children, and 2) her husband Eddie.
I'd have loved it if Tamra's retort to "Eddie's not my father" was "No, Eddie isn't your father, but he's MY husband. Did you notice that where you're staying right now is HIS house? And now that we're on the subject, what has your father done for you lately? Nothing? Then you should start making it a habit to lay off Eddie."

CRANKY ONE, ON 15 SEPT 2015 - 06:03 AM, SAID:
Someone pleeeeeeaaase post a gif of Eddie shoveling food in his mouth. That needs to be documented for eternity!
Please don't! The way he was inhaling the food, you would have thought he hasn't had a meal in a week.
The poor guy behaves as though he hasn't had a decent meal lately. I'm guessing Tamra's skill set does not include cooking.

Rainney wrote: I have to ask because I have seen a number of people call Ryan this bit I am not sure why. Why do some refer to Tamra's son as "Rapey Ryan"?
See the episode entitled "Naked Wasted" (S4.E8), so titled because Tamra said she was serving extra-strong drinks to Gretchen in an attempt to get her "naked wasted".
During the episode, Gretchen indeed got shitfaced, When she staggered over to use the bathroom, Ryan followed her in. It turned out Gretchen was not so hammered she'd go along with THAT, and politely said no to "making out" with him. Afterward, posters thought it was pretty low down of him to attempt to take advantage of a woman who was so impaired; hence, "Rapey Ryan".
Sorry -- it was WireWrap who asked that.

I wish at the sit down meeting, Vivkie and Brooks told Meagan, I heard rumors that you and Jimmy got together under shady circumstances, I need to know the truth and will search the internet and contact your exes and his. Maybe call a few old friends, start really investigating the truth about your life, Jimmy is out of town so much maybe I should look into if there are any other women in his life... because I need the truth and we have no boundaries which seems okay with you.
Oh, THIS. For sure!!

I was finally able to view this episode today, and there are a few things others haven't mentioned yet:
1) Vicki's outfit: Nobody in OC wears fur (or faux fur) anytime ever. Unless it's the dead of winter and you just got back from Mammoth or Vail or somewhere that's damn cold.
2) No wonder we haven't seen Shannon's back yard: The pool is too large for the little space it's been given on her massive property. Way too much pool to patio space ratio. And that roof or whatever the hell that was covering it?? Just no.
3) Meghan's hair: She must have just given up on it when it was time to leave for the party. I mean, she's in the bathroom with the curling iron doing god-knows-what. Then she shows up at the party, and it looks like she just rolled out of bed - WTF?? It's obvious she's the only one at the party who did her own hair.
4) Marty, Sandy's date: BIG red flag when a man that age has no children - and then says HE'S the child. Yikes.
BTW - I thought Sandy's outfit was just fine for a blind date, a first date, any kind of date. WTF was Tams talking about for chrissakes?

I doubt Vicki would ever push it that far. She already knows she's on thin ice on this subject. I think it's ridiculous to even think Vicki would be that stupid. I mean Vicki is Vicki and all that but Vicki's already expressed the helplessness of the situation and how much control she doesn't have so I don't see her jeopardizing the little bit of ground she's gained by doing something as outrageous and detrimental to their progress as that. No way in hell can I see that being the case.
Oh, no doubt such behavior would be outrageous. But you've obviously never lived with a narcissist. Outrageous is where they go when they believe they might not get their way. Because the way they see it, NOT getting what they want in any given situation is simply not an option and they never give up the fight, even though they might feign.

I was curious about that, too. I think that would be pretty accurate. I know quite a few nurses who work for more than one hospital because they cannot get all the hours they want at one facility, but I don't think they'd say they have two jobs.
I would say that if Briana works shifts in two different hospitals, she probably gets two separate W-2s at tax time So it's perfectly accurate for her to say that she has two (part-time) jobs. It's not that uncommon.

Why does Briana bother to go to California if mom is back east every three weeks?
Because Briana is bored to a coma in Oklahoma. in OC, Nana takes care of the kids while Briana goes out with her friends.

I don't get the problem with Brianna and Brooks, he's not going to be present at the house when she stays there. That doesn't make him or her 'look bad'.
There much be more to Brianna's problems with Brooks than there're telling us.
When you're dealing with a world-class narcissist such as Vicki, the plan might be that after a day or two, Brooks just shows up there with an excuse why he has to be "home" now. Briana already told her mother that she would never want to throw a sick person out of their bed, so it wouldn't surprise me a bit if Vicki had in mind to pull such a number. With Bri and the kids all settled in,Vicki would use it to try to shame Briana into not making poor Brooks leave again, in hopes for her daughter to solve her predicament by just putting up with it.

I have never been to the OC and am not familiar with the cost of living there, but would it really have been impossible for Ryan to find a place that was less expensive?
One bedroom apartment, in a decent neighborhood of course, $1,800/mo. and up.

Briana has not learned that Vicki's gifts come with looooong strings....
I doubt this comes as a surprise to Briana -- she's lived with her mother since birth. Children usually know who their parents are better than most others. For instance, as Michael showed us in Ep. 13. I think Briana expected this as standard operating procedure for her mother; Vicki is simply starting her usual Plan B, kill the kid with kindness and the kid is sure to knuckle under. Narcissists have whole bags of manipulation tricks that they use again and again. Probably because sometimes they work!

Wait a minute. I'm confused.
I thought Vicki was the one that had a leech attached to her?
GUFFAW!! snort, snort.

David is a punk.
He is a cheating punk.
He is a cheating asshole punk.
David's ACTing is for the benefit of: the couple's children, L'Affaire de Coeur, and the possibly commiserating real life and tv audience. He is baiting the lure with his 'poor put upon' facade in order to reel in support for current and future distasteful acts.
I think that David's beaten down demeanor and accompanying long suffering portrayal has been crafted partly in a deliberate attempt to slyly bias the children's attitudes against Shannon. It's a passive aggressive tactical manoeuvre to undermine and alienate Shannon's maternal tether to the kids.
I think you've hit upon something here. I've noticed on a couple of occasions how David slyly undermines Shannon in front of the girls. At first I just thought it was his cluelessness that made him say things like that, but when he slipped in that gratuitous reference to his "smashing pumpkins" past, I saw it as a direct challenge to Shannon's taking them to task for their TP-ing while on the sleep-over. The comment was obviously gauged to curry favor with the girls by portraying himself as the understanding parent while making Shannon appear the tiresome and un-fun parent.
I know he's said other things in front of their daughter(s) to place Shannon in an unfavorable light, I just can't remember them right now.

I found this sloppy handwritten note from Meghan to Vicki and Brooks after they sent flowers following Leann's death. I am not sure where the flowers were sent but strange to send flowers to the ex-husband and new bride. I can't decipher the note "in _____ of our recent loss". https://twitter.com/brooksayers So Vicki was at the very least courteous to Jim and Meghan following "their loss".
I can't isolate the note-it is the bottom right hand photo on the left hand side of Brooks twitter page. There are six pictures and it would be the sixth.
It says "in lieu of our recent loss". Guess homegirl doesn't know what the term "in lieu" means - possibly really meant "in light of"??

Oh man, I may not like Meghan, but the way asshole Jimmy spoke to her was absolutely vile!!! He really is a misogynist pig.
Wow - I had a completely different take. In fact, asshole Jimmy went a ways to redeeming himself in my eyes in this episode after he basically said the same thing everyone else hass been saying: shut up Meghan! He totally took charge and completely shut her ass down. Which needed to be done after she behaved so childishly, and then didn't seem able to grasp how wrong she was for inserting herself into Brooks' personal business and then causing scene after scene over it.

I think once a day Shannon goes on a vodka-fueled crying jag, and it just so happened that day it came on at dinner with Vicki and Brooks.

Man, Shannon's twin brats are 2 freakin' entitled little brats.
I was thinking the same thing when I saw their smug little asshole attitudes towards their parents. Judging by the kids' complete contempt for both of them, it's obvious that David and Shannon have never even attempted to discipline them for anything before.
If my ten-year-old spoke to me the way Sophie did (Adelaide wasn't as defiant or mouthy, but she'd get hers too), or refused do as she was told, I would have marched straight to her room and gathered up all her electronics - phone, tablet, computer, gaming station -- EVERYTHING the kid has been given, and lock it up somewhere secure. Then I'd clear everything out of her closets and dressers except one week's worth of the most basic clothing. Then I'd finish with the screwdriver and hammer and physically remove the door from her room.
Those children would get a lecture on what I as a parent am obligated to provide for them, and that the only time they will be permitted to leave their rooms is for school. Period. They would be informed what it will take on their part to earn these items back, one by one, or that the status quo will become permanent until they turn 18 or graduate from high school - whichever comes first. And they'd also be informed that if they ever smart-mouthed or refused again to do anything they were directed to do, they'd lose everything they'd earned back and have to start all over again.
Of course, parents MUST possess vigilance and a stronger will than their children in order for this method to make a lasting impression. That's why having children too late in life is not a good idea.
They're lucky they didn't have my Dad. Or great-grandmother. I remember once when I was about 8 years old watching my great-grandmother (in her mid-60s at the time) chase my 13 year old uncle around the yard with a bar of soap in her hand. She finally did get him down and wash his mouth out with the soap. I never heard him sass her again.

From the shallowest end of the pond (or across the pond, actually), I have to admit to loving Carole's blue leather gloves. Don't know why she had two pairs of them with her, though.
I have to admit those blue leather gloves looked hideous! At first I thought she was wearing something for cleaning the loo!

Uh Oh
With friend Brandi fired and Claudia gone from ATL, is Kristen next (ME: NO SHIT SHE WILL BE FIRED).

That website isn't very reliable. Every day they have at least one article that contradicts something posted earlier on that site and touted as a major scoop.

Vicki wasn't allowed to bring Brooks to her mom's funeral? WTF?
I like how Vicki is SUCH a revisionist!! She was so disrespectful to Donn when she refused to allow him to go to Chicago with them when she visited her family nor allow him to Mexico when she took her kids. Now, all of a sudden, she's unhappy that her "man" can't enjoy family time with her. She's a complete ass!!

No one can convince me that Vicki was not performing for the camera to some extent, with her over the top grief and off the wall remarks. I don't believe her for a second, other than that she is of course grieving for her mother. But her "wake her up" and "gone too soon" etc...sorry, not buying it. She knew she being filmed and wanted to make headlines, which she did.
Yes, I thought it was overacting of the worst sort. But that she came up with "wake her up" suggests to me that in her own mind, Vicki sees herself as FAR more important than actual death, and Mom, goddamn, you better wake up now and attend to my need.

I know others have insisted that Vicki, being the concerned and take-charge type, would certainly be closely monitoring all of Brooks' cancer treatments, talking to his oncologists, accompanying him to his chemo infusion sessions, etc., but I'm not sure that's the case. She seems to have taken a hands-off approach instead, content with asking him how things were going and taking his short answers ("I had a chemo session") at face value.
Vicki has not just taken a hands-off approach, she's limiting her particpation sharply -- didn't she say that she didn't want to be around when he'd be "violently ill for 5 days"? Talk about shallow as a driveway puddle.
I mean, she takes all this credit for standing by her man when he's sick, but when the going gets tough, Florence Nightingale has to take herself a few thousand miles away so as not to upset herself over this thing.

Yeppers, all these connections here -- co-inky-dink??? Not when Satan Andy is involved. And you forgot to mention Satan Andy is from St. Louis, so I bet he already knew asshole Jimmy. I wonder if Satan Andy made an intro of Meghan (cuz he knew her gay model brother) to Jimmy & maybe even suggested a Katie Holmes/Tom Cruise arranged-marriage/brokered-deal thing. Ya never know . . .
In that interview, Meghan revealed what her job actually entailed. She said she was stuck going around to hospitals in remote parts of Texas & constantly going on planes to these locales. Sounds routine, dull & awful. No glam there. Ew, nuh-uh. Well, at least she gave us what her motivation would be to jump at the chance for a sham marriage to a rapidly aging ex-jock with a dumpy body, who's probably never gonna bang her anyway, looks at her only with revulsion, mostly treats her like shit in public (certainly all the time on camera) & is an asshole thru & thru.
My take on her is she's a neurotic nutcase with too much money & way too much time on her hands & she overthinks everything to death. As far as the constant nagging on David & setting him up to standards she doesn't hold AT ALL for herself? She's just a PITA & that's about it.
Satan Andy sure did hit reality casting gold when he found her tho, didn't he? She just won't let up from telling us all of her loony fears & insecurites & continuing to twist David's balls & humiliate him (and herself) in front of the world -- or at least the viewers of this show. Well, she doesn't care about dough cuz she's got plenty, so Satan Andy should at least send her a basket of lemons for some kind of bonus & thank you, right?

Kim Richards: No Escape from Witch Mountain
in The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills
I had similar sentiments when, right after Kim was arrested at the Beverly Hilton, Monty immediately started tweeting such nonsense "I don't believe it -- Kim is sober, she's never violent, she's a GIVER!!" (well, that last one was after her shoplifting arrest). Then I knew for sure that Monty is one of the biggest enablers in Kim's life. I mean, he makes everyone feel so good about who the "real" Kim is, her "real" wonderfulness despite the abysmal way she treats her family and the fact that her utterly dysfunctional life refutes his every word.
I believe Monty was the one who was the source of Kim's pill popping during Season 9, and I also believe she didn't have to steal them - that Monty was voluntarily sharing his stash with Kim, his long-time drug buddy.
But because he's seriously ill and constantly spouts such supportive, sweet twaddle, nobody calls him on it.
