I'm from So Cal. Her parents' house (and where I grew up) is about half way between LA and Palm Springs. I've been in LA since the 90s though. Her mom's IG says exactly where the house is, so you can dig around a little more if curious. Their house has an interesting history. That general area has a lot of historic houses.

Not only did it get dumped all in one week, but all the episodes were supposed to replay in a mini-marathon this weekend and that got pulled (at least according to my program guide). I think it was not as full of screaming assholes as Bravo had hoped. So on the one hand, I really liked this show and liked that it was full of likable people and didn't like the single asshole that was on it an would have liked it better without her and would like to see more shows on Bravo that are not screaming dumpster fires full of dicks. On the other I'm not here for Bravo playing the same episode of Tiny House Nation 800 times in a row, if I want that I'll watch DIY or HG.

From the neck up Vicki looks good for Vicki. For a minute I thought Emily? Gina? (the one married to the Mormon) was that old playmate that used to be on the show. Obviously I'm great with names.

It's a small house, sometimes a guest house or like a mother-in-law's quarters. I can't remember if there's a distinction on whether or not its attached to the main house. Bwah! I <3 you!

I don't think Caroline is crazy. She's more like a raw nerve or a tooth ache. I assumed the yacht name was a ocean punny spelling of Sienna, which is how Kate is pronouncing it. I've never seen Seanna as a name before.

I buy these ones and my dogs love them https://petreleaf.com/product/edibites-peanut-butter-banana-apple They are $6 less at my local pet store, so look to see if you can get them locally. There's also other brands of treats and oil that you can just add to their food or water, but I haven't tried anything else. I do not give them to them all the time, just before things I know will cause anxiety like a car ride, getting groomed, etc. My anxious one is a real big ahole when she gets going -- she's got really bad fear based aggression, she won't bite a human but she snarls and snaps and just acts like a feral beast and will end up fighting with her sister. I've tried Thunder Shirt, all the homeopathic crap, and even various prescriptions. None of it worked. It started when she was less than 3 months old. I had trainers come to the house because she was too little to go to classes and didn't have her shots yet. Then when we went to puppy school later she almost got kicked out for fighting, so I tried to take her to aggressive dog classes, but since it was fear based aggression and she's just a little thing they wouldn't let us enroll. I even sent her away to bad dog boot camp at one point. It's been rough. I initially bought the treats around the 4th of July. My neighborhood is like a war zone with illegal fireworks leading up to that. Shortly after I got home from buying the treats the dogs got in a bloody fight because the anxious one was so on edge from all the noise. I gave them both a treat and they went from snarling brawl to napping and just chilling out within minutes and I was sold. This does and it doesn't make her all loopy like the prescriptions did. She's just kind of mellow and relaxed, but she still runs around and plays and stuff and isn't lethargic. Everyone she knows has commented on what a positive change it's been and she loves visiting her family and is just so happy that she can barely hold it in when we go visiting, so it's really nice for her to be able to do that without her anxiety ruining it. It used to be the only way we could visit family for the weekend was if I kept her groggy and drugged the entire time or if we just parakeeted her and ignored the snarling coming from the crate under the blanket, but we'd have to be careful of dog fights on potty breaks. I can take her to the dog beach and dog park now too because she doesn't get so worked up from the drive that I have to worry about fighting while there.

She grew up the next town over from my hometown. I'm not sure how old she is but she might have gone to my high school, it depends on if she was before or after when they started building new ones and her parents' house is kind of where I think the district border is, so I'm not sure. Anyway, all of that is to say she's fairly local to where I grew up. She decorates her parents' house for holidays and it's a local spectacle. I sent pictures of this year's decorations to my mom an sister and was like "it's up, you should take the kids," and they came back so sour about how it is too scary and the city doesn't like all the traffic it causes. How am I related to these party poopers?

I used to have to crate my dog and cover her like a parakeet when we traveled (i.e. visiting grandma on holidays) because she'd get too stressed out and be a complete crazy asshole for days. I started giving her CBD treats instead and it's amazing -- way less stressful and more enjoyable for everyone involved. Maybe CSC and Mrs. Potato Mouth should both look into those.

I have been watching and enjoy it. I didn't think I would because I thought it was going to be all stereotypical and look down on the small town folks, but it isn't and is really good. Too good for Bravo. I like everyone but the loud mouth blonde. I especially like the chef/BBQ guy pair and the pastry chef/pie maker pair.

Michael showing up at the outpost is 18 months after the bombs go off.

Not to mention just setting up DND. I used to be on call at night and I'd still put my phone on do not disturb, I'd just star the numbers that were allowed to ring despite it being the middle of the night. Just don't put Shannon on the special callers list. I think Vicki might claim she's an 8 or 10, so I'd buy 12 or 14. And yeah, I can see her as a 14 that wears an 8.

She's probably an 8 at most. She just looks plus sized next to Tamballs..

Caroline is always so fragile and frayed. It seems like she's constantly on the edge of tears. It gives me anxiety watching her.

Not to discount the effort, but I think it is actually easier to do things like coach a kids sports team when you own your own company in that type of industry. You start really early and are done earlier in the day than a normal 9-5 and when you own the company your schedule can be a little more flexible. My dad's not a bad dad, but he's also probably not the world's best. He tries. He owns a construction company. He was very involved in my brothers' sports teams and boy scouts because he could schedule his afternoons around it. He also would go to the office at 5 and get the crews out, come home and make breakfast for my brothers and take them to school, and then go back to work. I believe it was I. Magnin and is just a boards rumor. I think it has been posted that the real story is they were just upper middle class and the grandfather was high up in the company or on the board. Bethenny might also be the only housewife that is more miserable than Shannon. I haven't put a lot of thought into that though, so I might be forgetting one.

I forgot to mention in my previous post but there was an ad that said the show was brought to us by either Massengill or Summer's Eve and I thought "Of course it is, because they are all fucking douches."

Gina/Emily -- whichever is from Laaawng Eyelen, is a bitch and can miss me with her "I feel completely responsible for releasing this beast" bullshit. She did it on purpose. The smirking and smug looks on her face during dinner and the following scenes made me sick. Then the shrieking, pile up, faux concern, and gas lighting from all of them was despicable. Shannon is a downer and a fucking mess, and would be tiring to deal with, but she didn't deserve that. I mean she's even got Cancer Scammin' Vicki wailing at her that she's a bad friend because she didn't support her turn as a con woman. I think maybe Kelly was the most measured and least disgusting and that just makes my head spin -- at least she seemed to not be coming from a place of malice. Tamara was obviously the worst. Her gas lighting game is next level. Vicki's outfits were a crime against humanity. She is for reals a terrorist.

This show is weird, but I like it. I'm glad I stuck with it because I wasn't sure after the first couple episodes, but was leaning towards no.

I keep watching these expecting them to be good and then feeling duped for wasting 90 minutes. Maybe if they were half as long the cost/benefit would be there, but currently, I'm feeling ripped off.

We're having a West Nile outbreak and a Typhus epidemic in LA right now, Shannon better stay down in the OC.

I haven't watched every episode this season and I haven't paid 100% full attention to those I have watched, but I still get Emily and Gina mixed up and have to think about which is which. Emily just seems more like a Gina to me.

I think it is mostly rich white ladies in the US crying about it on behalf of everyone else. All this is true, but Shannon probably wasn't expecting to have to move after only one year. I know a lot of people that have leased houses and can't really think of anyone that had to move in the first year because the house was sold. It's more common that they end up staying for years if you like the place and are a good tenant. Shannon was probably hoping to stay a few years -- the twins are out of high school in 4(?) years. But I agree that is a risk you take when you rent or lease instead of buy. I assume she's reluctant to buy because of all the divorce drama still going on and maybe because the kids will be moving out soon, but honestly I'm not so sure on the pending empty nest part because I could see her keeping rooms for the kids forever.

I'm on team "pretty much the entire lot of them are assholes"

I'll watch and see and maybe change my mind. I may be alone in this, but I'm not ready to label someone as a "woman hater", misogynist, or even potential rapist or serial killer waiting to happen after seeing like 15 - 20 minutes total of them on a heavily edited TV show where they did a shitty thing where the other person involved happened to be a woman.

I feel cosmopolitan any time I compare myself to these fools. OC has the most classless travelers out of all the cities (unless I'm forgetting one that's worse). Vicki creates such a huge deficit that there's just no way they can come back from it. Yeah, as soon as I saw that water I was thinking you couldn't pay me to go in it and I'd rather wait in the van. One time I got a rash on vacation. I was in Hawaii and went hiking and didn't see the signs saying the stream we crossed repeatedly and waterfall pool we went swimming in was contaminated with leptospirosis (the water was crystal clear and not scary looking). The rash showed up a few days later and I thought maybe it was just a weird sunburn and then when I was back at work one of my employees was like WTF OMG and convinced me to go to the doctor. I had to have IV antibiotics and email the doctor pictures of the rash daily so he could monitor that it didn't go outside the outline drawn around it and had to go back to the doctor a few times. So yeah, no thanks to strange water. Shannon is a drag, but Tamra is a real bitch and actually seems more jealous than annoyed.
