I don't see Jenn and Ryan lasting. Once Jen's alimony is over, Ryan is going to be out IMO. And getting married means no alimony, so there is that. Ryan can't afford her lifestyle.

I agree that Shannon has legit reasons to dislike Heather. Heather has treated her pretty poorly over the course of multiple seasons. That said, it appears that the reasons Shannon dislikes Heather are not those reasons -- they are specific reasons that have no basis in fact and have been manufactured by Tamra.
That's definitely part of it! But early in this season, Shannon said she has always felt a negativity towards her from Heather, dating back to the beginning, and there is this competition that Shannon has always felt. She said that in her interview.

Violet is a very attractive and intelligent woman, but IMO way older than 43. I don't think she is pregnant (neither does Riley) and do think she has some sort of con going. Not sure what it is, but I see the bottom falling soon.

Btw, I always thought that comment of Terry’s was stupid since he needs construction workers to build his grotesque wife huge grotesque houses.
But Heather atoned at the ranch and acknowledged that day laborers are valuable because they give people beautiful lives.
Terry makes money from people's body dysmorphia. Heather's value is finding good ways to spend "invest" Terry's mondy.

Yes Jenn, you do have sucker written on your forehead when it comes to Tamara. And probably Ryan too.
That is a good point! Jenn is people pleasing, and she ignores red flags. I'm not sure why though.

The gang up on Heather is real, and I can see why Heather wants to leave. However, I think she is stubborn and proud, she won't entertain that she was wrong in any way. And I do think she picks on Emily and Gina. She was bullying Shannon right away from her first season in a very hurtful way, and despite everyone constantly telling her why she offends them, she won't listen.

Amanda on the other hand? Can't stand her. Hate that Razvan got sucked back in when she love bombed him. And why does she do everything in slo-mo?
I think she has no energy because she's anorexic. She spends all her energy on hair and make-up, puts on her signature jeans and solid colored t-shirt, spends the day trying to avoid eating and waiting for bed. As someone with an eating disorder, it's very evident she is struggling with food and her body image. She's also a big-boned person so she can't get rid of her hips and shoulders. She has a large frame, which I think makes her insecure. She's not smart, nor clever, and has no personality and Razvan is all three. I can see why she is clinging back to Razvan because he's attractive and adores her and good luck finding a decent guy in the random meth town she lives in. She needs a leader, and I think he could be that for her.

I don't like Heather but I do think part of the hostility she gets is because in this group, she is perceived as winning. I think Heather with a $200,000 net worth, MLM husband, and 20 lbs she would be received much better within this bunch.
It's really rude IMO for Heather to always be talking about money and being arrogant around women who are clearly less wealthy and may even be struggling to keep their lifestyles while living in the OC. I'm thinking Jen, Gina, and Emily. Maybe Tamra.
What does Heather think the ladies should be happy about RE selling her house? That she is now even more rich?

It's nice to bring your friends a gift. Doing it on every trip feels like an attention grab. Look at me...I'm so generous and thoughtful!
It's a tax write off for her. You notice she's very deliberate about showing things and talking on camera about how much things cost. Remember that one season where she made a point on camera to say the party cost 30K?
But she really isn't driving any income so she is really just trying to find her worth to Terri by finding her own investments and ways of maximizing his money.

I think Heather might have some eating disorder or be manic. She is doing way too much, is looking very unhealthy. She has made a lot of diet toxic comments in the past, like saying that their pizza oven she only allows herself to use once a year. I think starving herself gives her the adrenaline she needs to keep up a storyline. But Heather always not eating and making excuses to not eat, while being extremely underweight and pale and unhappy is not a good image to put forward. So not seeing her as the next Ophrah who embraced her flaws and was vulnerable. That's why people loved her. She got deep and was authentic.
Heather-- I hate everyone. Now I'm going to give them presents. (WEIRD). She totally only relates to people by buying them things. I am really happy she is not my mother. What an asshole. She is so emotionally unavailable I feel sad for her family.
Jenn is very weird looking. And her personality is strange. Does she always talk in a sing song voice? Always? Just odd.
I love Taylor hanging out. She knows she is better than this drama, so she pretends to listen and eat all the free food, and get some screen time while also getting free travel. I want HER job.
Why does Gina and Emily not realize that Heather looks down on them and they are not friends. Heather tolerates them for the show, that's it.

Maybe she thinks it will give her access to people who have power or clout in the industry that can help her.
I sort of think she just finds her life amazing and this is her way to show off. She's a little stunted with social skills. Her EQ is lacking. I feel like she has that attitude that if she has money and things people will want to be her friend and admire her.

I feel kind of bad for Heather. She is just so unlikeable. Same with Terry. This episode, their scenes were so scripted and cringy, with Terri acting like he was amazed and seeing everything for the first time, being the adoring husband. When Tamra calls you out for faking the happy marriage, you know you have hit ceiling.
I kind of wonder if Heather has some heat on him and that's why he is being extra adoring husband. He didn't really do that before. It comes off very fake. The only real scene was after the party was ll over and Heather took some swigs from the bottle. Terri was clearly shocked she was going off-script. LOL.
Or maybe Heather is just super impressed with herself and doesn't care about anything but letting the world know she had dinner with Mark Cuban. I would hope there would be more depth to her, but she just seems so superficial.
I STILL love Shannon and Tamra. They are cute, funny, and have their issues, but they are themselves and real (more Shannon, but Tamra too). Gina and Emily seem a little fake as well. Newly brought in Vicki is trying WAY too hard.

I think Heather is chasing this HD network thing because she thinks it will generate interest. Like Oprah had her show (way back in the 80s) and she was cool and compelling, and it led to other stuff and now everyone wants to book Oprah for everything-- TV, movies, podcasts, keynote speaking, all of it. But Oprah isn't interesting or in demand because of her show. It's because of HER. Her personality, talent, interest, acumen, etc. Heather has no charisma and lacks any type of ability to connect with others. Of any class.
I'm not sure why Heather thinks she is in the same league as Ophrah. Because she supported her child's gender/name change? Heather comes off as business savvy but lacking a lot of basic common sense and I'm not sure she is that smart. She has a good vocabulary and can pronounce things, but she's just a gold digger like all of the housewives are. She is going to work Terry into the grave for the little bit of sex she gives him, and she happily spends all his money like she earned it.

Heather is calling it a network, but it's more like an "only fans" where you subscribe and people tune in to see you doing different things. Heather is just amping it up a bit with produced content, but it seems like she has a schedule of when different things are "shown" but it all seems live. She isn't producing or creating scripted or semi-scripted "shows" per say.

My thoughts about the house. First season with Heather, she lived on the same street or neighborhood as Shannon. She and Terri didn't like that because David was a "dumb carpenter" and they thought they were better than them. So they bought this huge mansion. Can't afford it. Sold it, and now live in LA where Heather can develop content for her channel.

Jasmine has different hair in this episode. They break up each episode they are on.

I think I may get this. Shannon doesn't want to talk on camera about her relationship. But she has problems and shares with others. The whole point of the show is to be vulnerable, so they are calling her out. I know Tamra particularly hates that- which is probably why she brought it up.
Jenn seems super fake. She is so guarded, which I think is why she talks in that sing-song voice trying to seem like some missionary doing God's work. The Ryan that she is dating talks in that same way. I'm not sure if Jenn will last another season, because a range of emotion is important for this show. It's not a pageant.
Shannon always asks what low-fat low calorie is on the menu, but then ignores what they say. She has been doing this since the beginning on her dates with David. It's her schtick. I think it's funny.
Heather did something to screw over Shannon. Heather really has never liked Shannon (and vice versa).

I have some thoughts on the David engagement ring. My first thought is that everyone is going now go to the Phillpines to get an engagement ring at 80 bucks.
My second thought is that he spent way too much on costume jewelry.
I'm not sure about Jasmine's butterfly clips but maybe I'm behind a trend. Jasmine does not seem to understand that Gino is cheap. Everytime she wants to buy/have something it's going to be power play. To have to scream, yell, get hysterical to get your point across is not good.

What am I misunderstanding here?
That he is making 3200. No one knows but him, but my educated guess is that given his low paying part-time jobs, and the fact we don't know how many hours he works-- probably not many given his disability, he is also drawing in SSDI. Just thinking how it's likely to actually be playing out.

If you earn money through working, SSDI and SSI payments can be reduced depending on your income, all the way to zero. Makes sense, since the payments are for people who can't work because of their disability.
He said he makes $800/week, which is over $40,000/year. I'd be shocked if income like that didn't put him over the threshold.
This is the first episode I've watched, but that's what it sounds like to me, too. The general sound (kind of breathy and not crisp), but also when she says a soft "e" it sounds like a soft "a"--like "sex" sounds like "sax." I'm not sure why that happens, but it's something I've noticed when listening to some hearing impaired people talk.
He gets a higher check because he works. It is a percentage of your income that you pay taxes into. It's supplemental. Different than welfare because it's social security which is a different program. Bascialy, David gets the SS back that most people pay in their W-2s.
How Much Money Can a Deaf Person Get Through SSDI?
Social Security doesn't pay a higher SSDI amount for deafness like it does for blindness. The amount of SSDI benefits paid for deafness or severe hearing loss depends on your lifetime earnings. Social Security will calculate your disability benefit by looking at your average income over your lifetime from jobs where you paid FICA taxes or self-employment taxes. For more information, read our article on how much money you can get through SSDI.

Why is Riley talking like a baby?

Riley is not going to be happy until Violet admits she kept her dating app active after asking him to take his down. She's not going to do this. He's tried to bring in a private detective, his horrible female friend to get this information out. I think at this point, he needs to move on with making this point.
Sattler is hobosexual.

Amanda---holy hell, what a stone cold bitch. Watching her as she kept applying layer after layer of makeup (curious what others thought of the long camera shots lingering on her makeup bag)
Yes, and the constant pans to Ravzan's hands when he was talking to producers was odd as well. The need to up their game when interviewing outside of the set up interview sessions.
on her very plain basic girl face and being so cold just affirmed what many said. She had zero real feelings for Razvan. She just seems so stunted, it was like listening to, you know, like a teenage girl, like talk about the boy in class who like, TOTALLY thought he had a shot with her, but she had to tell him as if.
I heard Amanda's mother was a drug addict and she had a really dysfunctional upbringing-- grew up super poor. I think that's why she seems stunted and really immature. Plus, didn't she work at Hooters? That place you are required to wear make-up, and lots of it, so I just think that is what Amanda knows to do/is normal. She has the typical Hooter girl story, IMO.
I LOL'd when she mentioned how when she met Jason, he was just a manager at a restaurant, but he stepped it up to provide for her. OK, so you want a provider for you and the kids. Next breath, talking about how she takes care of herself and her kids, her bills are paid thank you very much, and she isn't about to bankroll Razvan's pipe dream (dont' fault her there). Ok, so which is it? Strong, independent mama or sugar baby?
I think her point was that she didn't need Razvan to pay her bills/support her, and he shouldn't need her to support him either. BUT, if he was going to move in and be part of their family, she would expect him to prioritize supporting/providing for them, which I think is a fantastic expectation. I think that when the had their private talk, Razvan expressed that he would not be looking for a job, and expecting Amanda to support him while he worked on his art/music. She was like, hell no.
Girl, you are NOT that cute or special. I think she gets off on playing with his emotions and having a guy lust after her.
She's very pretty, and unlike some of the other women on this show, she's very chill. Doesn't add ridiculous, pout, cry, yell, scream, etc. She really doesn't show much emotion at all, except to scoff, smirk, or snicker-- extremely quickly-- but then in seconds returns to blank face. Not great TV, but a guys dream girl.
Edited to add: I think Razvan was just using her for a green card and thought this show would help launch his "career" in the US. His tears were faker than fake. So she definitely is dodging a bullet there, but she is no prize. "maybe we are both just broken." Honey, quit trying to make this into some epic romance that couldn't overcome the obstacles. He was a vacation fuck (finally). And how edited is this crap? They are rolling around in bed, supposedly the morning after the marathon sex session, he says let's get ready to go see the castly. And.....she is wearing the same hideous leggings at the castle as she did in bed.
I think she has some body dysmorhpia. She is always hiding her legs. She had the exact same look every single day.
Tyree that was just painful to watch. Am curious how much they paid "Carmella" to appear. And she looked a LOT larger in real life than in those pics....she showed up in a track suit? I was expecting the full escort glam look for a tv appearance. And girl is that blind that she needed glasses to see a huge guy sitting two feet away? I think he was dragging this out to play up his pitiful story to get a spot on single life. He was so tongue tied and awkward with her.....THAT is a reason you are single, not just your weight. But, he will blame his weight and how females are just so superficial as a reason and not own the fact that he is just socially stunted.
He is so naive, sheltered, and ignorant. His face when he has to think or has a thought-- he looks like he is about to cry or throw up.
David and Sheila. That contractor jacked up the price as soon as he saw David and heard American. And still, considering all the work to be done, it isn't a lot. But I am guessing DAvid has spent most of all his savings on this trip and yeah, when you earn minimum wage, it takes those two jobs to just stay afloat and it takes time to build up savings. I am sure he could float it somehow, which is what he should have said to her. Does he not realize even if she gets a job, she will earn pennies a day. It did seem a little cold when Sheila made the comment about not wanting to die poor and now she had doubts he could be a provider. I get her point, but let's not pretend there are wealthy dudes lining up for her. There is no end to young beautiful women in her country who are lined up for the same thing....sad but true. I do hope they can work it out because I think she does care for David.
David is deaf, so he gets a little extra money in social security, but he's still poor. I was pretty surprised that David has such low-paying jobs, I think he could do more, but maybe with his disability he is scared to try.
Cleo and Christian---holy hell, what was that mess? I sort of believe douchebag here. I can totally see him checking in with her to confirm what she told producers so that he didn't overshare. She kept saying he was denying they were intimate. I never heard that---he said there was intimacy. He just didnt' specify what type. I think she overreacted and WTF with bringing a friend. To me that sort of rings of when a person is fearful for their safety they bring a friend along. So I also see his perspective that it was hella awkward to have her friend sit there and listen to this discussion. Every other word out of Cleo's mouth is autism or autistic. Then again, I def saw red flags with the way Christian twisted the conversation into him being the victim and made her end up apologizing. What a mess.
It's tough out there for anyone single, but it must be extra extra hard if you are trans. She seems so desperate and emotional. My guess is she's been through some pretty horrible experiences with relationships.

Jenn said already on the show (at the country and western clothing store before the trip to Montana) that Ryan cheated on her with a common friend while on a break. Heather and Shannon were present, and questioned if she could trust him. Jenn is on a reality show, and it was to be expected that her relationship would be questioned. She knew it, and she probably thought it was a good story line.
These are things I've picked up on that I have no idea if I'm right.
1. Ryan sent the dick pick to Heather A. during their "break." When caught he resent it to a bunch of people and said it was a mistake and meant for Jenn.
2. Tamra and Heather A. believe Ryan sent to dick pic to Heather A. and it was FOR Heather A.
3. The person Ryan slept with on their break was Heather A. (which is why Tamra knows everything and Heather A is so invested).
4. Tamra really dislikes Jenn
5. Heather D. really wants everyone to know that she bought Mark Cuban dinner

S17.E16: Welcome to the Freak Show
in The Real Housewives Of Orange County
This was a disjointed season IMO, because of how it was edited. It started with 1) Tamra and Shannon's relationship, and 2) everyone and their families as the story line. Heather and the kids going to college, Tamra and Eddie selling gym and Ryan being a ranch hand, Tamra's mom moving in, Emily and her mom, Emily and Annabelle doing child modeling, Gina and Justin going into real estate and getting along better with Matt-- the kids and even Matt's gf were a segment, Taylor and her daughter and acting career, Shannon and her kids going to college. Jenn and her family and white saving brown boy with brown mom. We saw everyone's families. Then they disappeared and it became a totally different show. I think this happened after Shannon and Tamra made up. Heather got jealous of their friendship-- Gina got jealous of Tamra because Heather wanted to be Tamra's friend and not Gina's any longer.
