[S12.E19: We Need to Talk About Kathy]

Erika: "I'm getting tired of being the whipping boy with this entire group"

....I thought that was Sutton? The majority of "this group" has had Erika's back the whole time, and even after the whole earring meltdown they went right back to being friends and not doubting her on anything.

Rinna: "I think Kathy's jealous of how much more successful Kyle is than her"

Oh, that's rich.

I feel like a jerk saying this because I feel awful for their family and Babs, but I really hope this season isn’t mostly this. There’s enough heartbreak in real life. I watch tv for escape from reality. Yes, it’s a ‘reality’ show, but we all know it’s mostly scripted.  Of course, I’m glad she gets better-that’s wonderful! And an outcome most aren’t lucky enough to get. But if each episode is going to be half doom and worry, I can’t watch that.

Honestly same, my mom passed away recently from health problems so if the whole season is centering around her mom's declining health I'm not sure if I can watch it, even with the snark. And it is good to know she gets better! But yeah I see it as an escape from reality as well.

Also I'm not sure Babs was too happy with Whitney talking about ALL her health issues, specially the UTI. Whitney said she wanted to respect her privacy by not filming due to not being able to consent to anything, so it's weird to me that she wouldn't be more vague and private about Babs' issues.

[S12.E13: Rosé Colored Glasses]

Just started watching the episode but I just have to say I love seeing Sutton's cats. I don't think I've seen other housewives with cats on the show.

[S12.E03: There's Sutton about Crystal]

What happened to the days when the RHOBH ladies would wear cute clothes? Erika's gold pattern outfit is probably one of the frumpiest, least flattering things I've ever seen. Granted I'm no high fashion expert but how does anyone look good wearing those clothes (aka "high fashion" pajamas)?

As much as Teddy has annoyed me, I did think her outfit looked really nice at the launch of the store.

[S12.E01: The Break-in]

If what happened to Dorit is actually true, I feel terrible for her because that is one of my worst fears. But what I don't understand is why she didn't have an alarm set? I thought all of these multi-million dollar houses in these fancy neighborhoods had multiple top of the line security systems that are set and ready at all times. I live alone in a tiny crappy apartment and I still have an alarm system set, and you better believe if I had small children and millions of dollars worth of stuff in a multi-million dollar home I would practically have security guards in addition to the top of the line alarm system at all times! It just doesn't make sense. Is Dorit really that naive to think that no one could ever want to break into her house (...if it did happen)?

[S03.E12: New Girl Aboard]

[S01.E03: We're Not a Joke]

Vanessa has some serious anger management problems. She goes from 0 to 100 in 2 seconds. With how red her face was during the argument, I thought her heart was going to give out.

I find it interesting that both Dr. Smith & Tammy's siblings chalk Tammy's binge drinking/vaping/possible drug use to her 'hitting bottom' or just giving up.

I'm no psychologist but I see Tammy as a manipulative rebellious teenager acting out to get attention.

Tammy's drinking & partying didn't start until Chris, Amanda, Misty & Amy all washed their hands of Tammy & told her she's on her own. The siblings are moving on with their lives, esp. with Amy moving away & Chris getting bariatric surgery/losing a significant amt. of weight. Queen Tammy no longer has everyone to wait on her & be at her beck and call. She's no longer the center of attention & she knows it.

By being a 'problem' child Tammy has once again forced herself to the front & center of her familys' lives. They sit around talking about her, calling her, visiting her, catering to her, etc. etc. Maybe Tammy even thought that now her siblings have no choice but to take care of her.

Anyway, that's my armchair diagnosis.

I agree with this completely. This whole "partying" thing just screams attention to me. She is constantly trying to be the center of attention, no matter what it takes.

In regards to whether or not she knows she's near the end and has given up on life, I think she's in extreme denial. Whenever the family talks about how they might have to bury her soon, she usually replies with "that's NOT going to happen!", and when confronted with health issues she acts how a teenager would act after an adult catches them drinking and explains the consequences to them. Just brushes it off and thinks she's invincible, and just "so cool" all while knowing this will get attention from her family. It's like she's mentally stuck at the age of 13.

[S03.E10: Moving On Up And Partying On Down]

Tammy is the LAST person to criticize what anyone is wearing after wearing her tacky pink stripper top. Talk about boobs about to pop out, Amanda's robe covered hers just fine so not sure why she made that comment. And when Tammy said they never let her talk, she's the one talking/yelling the whole time! I thought Amy handled her tantrum at her house well, instead of getting pissed she just calmly let Tammy go off while hardly saying anything. Of course Tammy would probably say Amy was cutting her off the whole time not letting her speak. And no "thank you" when she handed her the bag of food. I love how shocked Tammy was when Amy said no one else fought with each other, she was the one doing all the fighting.

I kind of hate that Amanda apologized for standing up for herself, and like an angry toddler Tammy didn't even acknowledge her.

Her "friends" apparently are perfectly fine with contributing to and speeding up her death. Those party scenes were so cringey, Tammy trying to act all cool and young. Like, you're on oxygen and need both a wheelchair and a walker, drinking and vaping is not going to make you look cool, it just makes you look stupid. And the pizza was "slapping"? Lol what?? She says Amy is her best friend, yet when she's calling while they're partying Tammy says she "doesn't want to talk to that bitch".

 

[S03.E09: Smoky Mountain Meltdown]

When Tammy said "It's all about you guys"...I know I shouldn't be shocked at this point, but really?? You expect your family to drop everything after driving 12 hours only to drive 12 hours back, just for YOU! I was sad to see all the medical equipment she had in the hotel room, I'm sure having to lug all of that made traveling that much for exhausting for everyone. (But Tammy thinks they should just be so grateful for her presence being the "queen" that she is...)

When the family was saying how they wished she was there at the amusement park, I was thinking why? So she can complain, fight with everyone the whole time and ruin everything? Because that's what happens every time she's around them. And of course she was mad about the electric wheelchair, the second other's aren't breaking their backs (literally) to help her, she gets offended. I would think someone who is wheelchair bound would appreciate the independence and not having to rely on someone else to push them, but not Tammy.

I'm glad Amanda is finally standing up to Tammy, I just wish the rest of the family would back her up. I don't get why the rest of the family is afraid of confronting her, the worst she can do at this point is yell and grunt. Random, but the way she says shut up "SHUH-UP!" reminds me of how the kids would say it when I was in elementary school. I agree with those saying they need to stop coddling her, she treats them like dirt and they just accept it and keep helping (enabling) her. I understand them not wanting to leave her on the side of the road but as long as they keep making things easy for her, she's going to keep taking advantage of them. She needs to be forced to do start doing things for herself one way or another.

Funny how Tammy usually refers to Amy and lazy and stupid, but the second she says she bought a house and is moving, suddenly Amy is Tammy's "best friend". I can already see the guilt trip coming.

 

ETA: OMG, the toilet comment...in front of the server, no less.

[S10.E10: Margaret's Journey]

So much to say about this episode, but for now I'll just say this.. Why the complete nakedness, specifically during the PT session? She wore clothes during other parts of the episode so she was definitely capable of wearing clothes but yet chose not to during the session. Not even covering up just a little bit, nope she had to show it ALL. I can't tell if it's because she truly is lazy and has no shame, or if she actually wanted them to see her fully naked. And of course poor Dr. Paradise, he's being reasonable and here she is throwing a tantrum flashing him. I would need eye bleach after that.

I get your point but Tammy's eyes have always been "hooded". Just tiny little slits. However she has to be given some credit for her Photoshop skills. She knows how to contour her face, soft focus the pic and make her eyes look "dreamy". 

I feel like her eyes definitely seem more droopy in the interviews, reminds me of someone who's drunk and about to pass out

[S03.E06: Man Vs. Scale]

I wonder why Tammy even bothers making the 3 hour trip to these doctor appointments when it's obvious she knows beforehand that she didn't meet the goal. Going into the appointment in this episode, the look on her face showed she knew she wasn't going to lose much if any weight. Does she think someday he's just going to approve her without her having lost weight first?

[S03.E06: Man Vs. Scale]

I can't stand how disrespectful Tammy is to people who have done nothing wrong to her. The therapist was politely asking basic questions and Tammy just stared her down with so much anger and hatred in her eyes as if she killed a small child or something. If I were that therapist I would've just ended the session after the first 5 minutes and told her to find someone else to waste her time with. Why even bother going to therapy if all you're going to do is just sit there being condescending, cranky and just reply with "I don't know". Her reason for going was so she could get approved for the weight loss surgery but did she think she could just go to a therapy session, sit there and not say anything, then magically have the surgery right after? She looked like a spoiled toddler who was put in time out.

ETA: How does Amy not know what an inch is, then proceeds to ask if it's like a foot?? I don't mind Amy but sometimes I wonder how she got this far in life without knowing even the basics.

[S03.E05: Pushed Too Far]

In my opinion, I feel like a lot of the dislike for Tammy is justified. I get why she's in a bad mood most of the time, I mean I'm sure it's miserable living in a body like that. But she doesn't even TRY to change. AT ALL. She doesn't take accountability for her actions and she blames others for all her problems. She has had resources to to help her live a better life (much more than most other people in her situation) but she refuses to do ANYTHING. I would have more respect for her if she put in even an ounce of effort to have a better life. She's in her mid-thirties, she's not a child so at this point she knows better. She's not remorseful for the strain she puts on others, she just expects others around her to cater to her even if it affects them negatively. That's not to say I'm team Amy, I feel somewhat bad that she has to take care of Tammy so much but at the same time that's her decision, at some point (soon) she needs to say no and walk away. At this point I feel like the only way Tammy will make any kind of effort is if her family just leaves her to make her own choices in life. She's so used to being taken care of and catered to that maybe she doesn't know any other way and that's why she doesn't do anything about her situation. Sometimes people needs a major nudge in the right direction to change. I've seen people saying Tammy doesn't care if she even lives anymore, but I feel like she really doesn't realize the gravity of her situation, like she really doesn't think she's close to death at this point. If she did, I don't think she would still be chasing after guys and talking about traveling. It's like she thinks she can keep cheating death (which after what she's gone through, who knows she might?). I think she's very immature but not a complete idiot, she knows she's taking advantage of anyone willing to help her and she's too selfish to care. Until people say no to her, she won't change.

The flour tortillas are 0 calorie yet have 33 carbs? Interesting lol

[S03.E03: Tammy's New Squeeze]

I hate how any time one of her family members brings up how if she doesn't stick to her diet she'll die, Tammy brings up how they're not doing what they're supposed to either. Whether that's true or not, what they do for their health has no effect on her weight/health and how dire her situation is. Also, while their weight isn't healthy either they're nowhere near as bad of shape as Tammy. She's in such denial of how dangerous her weight is that when someone brings it up, she sees it as a personal attack and responds with "Well what about you??". She needs to stop obsessing what Chris and Amy are doing in terms of weight loss and start worrying about her own weight loss before it's too late (though at this point, it probably is). Not sure if she realizes that maybe if she showed she was consistently losing weight and staying on track, they wouldn't "lecture" her anymore. She says they need to have faith in her but she hasn't really done anything to prove to anyone that she's on the right track with the diet.

She looked so childish when she crossed her arms and starting pouting before cooking the meal. I can't think of any other 35 year old women who cross their arms and pout like that when they don't get their way. In fact, I haven't seen anyone over the age of 10 do that. I wonder if she has some developmental disorder that causes her to act like a child.

Also what exactly was she doing in the elevator at the high tea place? That was really strange.

[S09.E12: Bon Voyage, Whitney!]

Whitney on the phone with french guy after announcing she's coming too see him, french guy: "Uh yeah, that's cool. Uh...okay..."

He's most definitely regretting all of his life choices leading to this point lol

[S09.E12: Bon Voyage, Whitney!]

When your friend is throwing things at your head causing it to bleed profusely, it might be time to question whether or not it's worth being friends with them. Literally no one is safe around her at this point, she's starting to really act psychotic.

[S09.E11: Late, Toothless And High]

Lol at Glen saying how Whitney always seems to have a medical emergency on vacations. Between that and the constant crying, I'm sure she's so much fun to travel with 🙄

I'm sick of her friends acting like the french man not coming to Maine was a huge tragedy. When Tal was saying how he felt bad for having fun on the vacation with what Whitney's going through...umm nobody died. It's really not that big of a deal. Move on with life and have fun while on vacation (or at the very least don't make everyone feel guilty for not being as miserable as you).

What says you won't change your mind about Malia as you did about Hannah? Or can you still not stand her and only feel sorry for her?

Hannah didn't stoop to Malia's level. I also probably identify on a more personal level and have bad anxiety so I felt more for Hannah. I feel like Malia totally disregarded mental illness doing what she did and that to me is unforgivable, just so she can bunk with her boyfriend. She knew Hannah had Valium before but chose to have a problem with it when it suited her needs. You don't throw someone under the bus because of their mental illness just so you can have your way.

Malia is a snake who took prescription drugs out of her roommates bag, photographed them and brought them to the Captain to rat her out and get her fired so she could share her cabin with her then boyfriend. Instead of confronting Hannah and telling her she needed to go to the Captain if she really thought they were a problem.

In an earlier season she had started an affair with the chef but dropped him to bang her boss so she could get a promotion and more airtime.

Malia is a duplicitous narcissist and just about the worst person to appear on a Bravo show which is saying a lot when you consider Theresa Guidice and Erica Jayne.

THANK YOU. For most of Below Deck Med, I could not stand Hannah and wanted her to quit/be fired. After the way Malia treated her, I ended up completely rooting for Hannah and felt so bad for her. No matter how nice she acts this season, I think Malia really showed her true colors as a person last season.
