I personally don't put all of the excessively conspicuous consumption on Heather. Terry is her equal in this. They both equate this type of excess with showing their success and value. Yes, he was bringing in more money between his shows and practice. However, he also uses the house as evidence of how successful he is. He occasionally does the standard, "Oh, my wife!" schtick, but they are equal partners. Heather's taste may have guided the build of the house, but Terry is onboard for all of it.
Absoloutely! Terry is just as ostentatious and as big a vacuous spendthrift as his wife. My Dad was a physician...he never wanted to go into private practice because of these kind of doctors...guys that make a ton of $$$ and then throw it in everyone's faces with mansions, expensive cars, etc.etc...instead he went into epidemeology and pubic health.
Terry is arrogant and just as much of a show off as his vapid wife.

I thought that may be the case. Sad. They were my fave band when I was young and I got the see them in concert.
I know! I was surprised when I think Terry mentioned they were brothers on Fancy's first season, then I realized how much they looked alike. That potato nose 😆
My sis and sil moved to Texas from Cali! We (and husband's family) moved to TN, where apparently the other half of Calif and businesses are moving, lol. The lady at the DMV asked me what what happening out West because over 100 ppl per day were popping up out here.
Lucrative business perks and tax reductions have lured big tech from Silicon Valley to Texas. Problem is these high tech companies can’t find tech competent workers to fill positions. Texas just doesn’t have enough highly skilled college and grad school educated people to do the work. They have to recruit people from out of state and a lot of potential recruits aren’t keen on moving to Texas especially since housing costs are through the roof right now.
My son was offered a job in Texas two years ago when he was living in New York. He decided to take it as it paid better than the job he had the time and he had a couple friends down there in the Houston area where he would be working. Most of the people he worked with had been recruits from out of state. All had Masters degrees. He stayed a year and left…hated Texas and the summer heat/hurricanes/ flooding.

Ahhhh, I did listen to Fancy Pants podcast when it was first out. I lasted awhile but Natalie was still on when I quit listening.
I hope one of her four spawn rebel and embarrass the crap out of her.

UO, but I'm excited Heather's back. She's easier to watch (for me) then Tamra or Vickie. Yeah, her house looks like a hotel but it's her house. I would love me some towel warmers. I'm glad Braunwyn and Kelly are left in the dust. It's only the first episode so I'm not ready to give up yet on the season. This franchise needed a boost, last season was awful. It'll be interesting to see where everyone's loyalty lies during the course of the season.
I'm also confused as to why Heather would be friends with Nicole if Nicole sued Terry. Either Heather didn't know about it or Nicole never actually sued him. I guess we'll find out.
I would not be too upset of Tamra came back but the Cancer scammer can stay away forever.
Ugh….Heather🤮

I can totally understand wanting to leave the OC but I can think of so many reasons I wouldn't want my daughter to live in Texas besides zika virus. 🙄 Is that even still a thing? Leave it to Shannon to fret over the obscure and completely miss the obvious.
Oh I couldn’t agree more about not wanting to live in Texas full time…but I can understand why her daughter would not want to go back to the OC. Where the hell did Shannon get Zika being a thing in Texas?? She is really a nitwit.

I agree, but not Tamara. I just can't ever with Tamara. Vicky YES.
SAME! She is still the same horrible asshole she was 5 years ago. Yes she is a bully, as evidenced by how she treated her assistant Natalie. (Not a spoiler, since it has already happened, but not on the show, although I hope allowable)
I would like to know how she fanagled her way back onto this show. Also...kind of pathetic that the producers have to rehire cast offs to try to get viewers. I think this whole RHOOC is done...too much has happened in recent years that makes this voyeurism into the lives of vapid, nouveau riche women who spend their days shopping, getting cosmetic work done and gossiping seem sad and no longer a guilty pleasure. No wonder Shannon's daughter wants to live full time in Texas...besides getting away from her nutty mother, I can understand how living in the OC is just a competition for who has the bigger house, the bigger boobs, the most expensive cars, the better facelift and yadda yadda yadda...

This show bears no resemblance to the OC Housewives show that we all love. It was like watching a different show. And one that I found totally uninteresting. Heather came across as insufferable and that skinned back hairdo is not attractive on a woman whose face is already as tight as a dumb.
I felt the same way about this remodeled version. I was bored. These women are boring. I would take Vicky and Tamara back any day over Heather and the newbies. And could these women put their breasts away? Good grief…Noelle’s boobs were practically spilling out of her dress as well as with Nicolle. Even Gina was putting on a display. A little modesty once in awhile would be refreshing.

I'm watching this episode, and the cast just doesn't seem to work. They need to get rid of Emily -- she has brought NOTHING the entire time she's been on. Gina can go too. If they're not going to bring back Tamra, then they need to bring back Gretchen to replace Emily and someone else to replace Gina -- then we can get a cast worth watching. I don't know if I can stick with this. It's just not holding my attention. Bringing back Heather was cool, but it wasn't enough.
I concur with you on Emily and Gina…yawn fest. Heather is so pretentious and so bourgeoise. That “house” was ridiculous. How much do they really need? And isn’t she just the least little bit embarrassed about bragging about heated towels and how one small mistake on a cabinet resulted in ALL the cabinets getting replaced…how Marie Antoinette. Their extravagant display of wealth was repulsive to me.

I don’t know where to begin with this hot mess. All of these women but especially the new ones and retread Heather Dubrow, are the most vapid, superficial, boring broads on TV. And all of them need to lay off the Botox and fillers…yikes! Watching this episode made me appreciate that I live in an area where people aren’t fixated on money or showing off their expensive over decorated mansions.

I found Ryan and his parents to be unlikeable. Neither parent seem to have been physically abusive. Both were emotionally neglectful his entire life. Dad ignoring him for a year during a separation. Mom not working with the school and letting him run wild. Dad shooting him with foam darts on TV and laughing at him.
Both were enablers and really didn’t care about him. They just wanted to shove money at him and let him and his drug buddy take drugs in his room. His uncle and aunt seemed to care about him more than they did.
In an early interview segment, Ryan didn’t know his own age for sure. High I would guess.
I also do not think he will survive much longer.
Oh I couldn't agree more about his parents. Neglect, co-dependency on the part of the mother, enabling, the father shooting him with foam darts...OMG...it was just awful. This kid basically spent a huge chunk of his life at home with no structure or education. His mother looked totally incapable of being a homeschool teacher. If they had gotten a professional homeschool tutor for him that would have helped...at least he might actually have learned something. Also, not interacting or having any socialization with his peers isolated him and kept him stagnated emotionally. He obviously suffered from depression...self medicating at such a high level only made it worse.
I was appalled that he left the treatment center so soon after getting there as he seemed open to cleanng himself up but even worse was the fact his parents allowed him back into their home and things just resumed to the way they had been before. All their words about kicking him out if he continued to use and not giving him money and blah, blah, blah was just garbage. I agree that he will probably die from this addiction...I don't see how he could live too much longer in this dire condition.

Okay I'm not sure if this is the right place to put it but since it happened on the show I'm going to put it here. What the f*** was Rachel wearing did she think she was going to the prom of some kind the necklace the sparkly dress compared to everybody else and just casual clothes I was just looking at her like what were you thinking but then again it is Rachel the complete dumpster fire
All these girls dressed in horrible clothing...yikes! I think they all must have gone to a Forever 21 clearance sale.

The guy was happy he got something close to his childhood home, which is weird to me. How about your spouse’s house? I think I saw Texas star door handles on the kitchen cupboards, so 🤮
Despite voicing her concerns over a such a large home and not wanting a pool, she caved and went for the home/style/size he wanted. I'm tired of seeing husbands and wives yap about their "Childhood home" and wanting to replicate it. Move on and look at homes that suit your current immediate family needs and quit trying to relive your childhood....boring.

Gary is correct in withholding information from Amber. Dr. Drew calling it a mistake and then slightly pulling back saying Amber thought it was a mistake, was super gross. She is 100% not trustworthy. You could see her seething at her own kid because Leah makes her look bad. There's not more to it than that.
Cory is no longer human. He's just a reality personality. It's like he's a cardboard cutout, lol!
Cory...wow...he really thinks he's the shizz. He was so wound up and full of himself I don't know where to begin. He seems to be in a competition with Cheyenne. She just had a second baby, is engaged and getting married. Seems like the pressure is on from Cory's baby mama to deliver the same to her. His hyper masculinity/virility was on full display last night..."I want to a have a tribe of kids...more babies" Ugh..this guy is just another Teen Mom asshole.

So Amber got mad and walked off!
She always has to be the drama Queen!
That’s s why we don’t like you Amber!
She should be fired for walking off...that should be in the contract for every girl on these shows. You walk off the reunion show you're fired. MTV spends a lot of money transporting these divas and their significant others to these reunion shows and pays for their lodging, meals etc. They have to hire make up and wardrobe people to get them all glammed up for the tapings...and they are allowed to just walk off? Come on MTV...put your foot down and give these girls boundaries and then enforce them. Enough is enough from Amber and all the other little divas that stomp off when they don't like something being said.

I tried but I just can’t! I thought with the low ratings we would be donewith this but now they are planning a reboot with the OG’s providing advice for the girls who are actually teens?Pleeeeease no. They have no wisdom to impart other than teaching these girls how to wring a story line out of their wasted lives. Not even my morbid curiosity will allow me to hate watch this mess.
Honestly, this reeked of self promotion on MTV's part putting these Young and Pregnant moms on this reunion. It was shameless and stupid. Don't know what the ratings are for this show but obviously if MTV is jetting all these girls to New York or LA to tape they must need to boost up viewership by piggybacking them onto a Teen Mom reunion show. They were all trainwrecks and haven't we seen this before on Teen Mom and TM2??? Tyler will outshout and over talk on anyone when it comes to his "trauma" as a child of a drug addicted father. One question Dr. Drew should have asked Tyler is how is Butch doing these days and where is he? Nary a peep about him all season. Enquiring minds need to know!

I agree but the other side of it is this show has allowed Gary to provide a nice, mostly stable life for Leah. It's not like he cashed his MTV checks to financially support grifters he met on social media.
In my opinion he's done a pretty good job of trying to straddle the line in protecting Leah and staying on the show. I think it's one reason he let the conflict between Amber and him/Christina get so much attention - although Amber is the one that put it out there. He did the Amber "living in a trailer on his property" story without involving Leah too. That said, Leah is at the age where she really really needs her privacy and this entire show should be done.
The most surprising thing Amber did last night was stand up and leave the couch - maybe they had another sofa standing by offstage for when she invariably stomps off and Drew goes after her.
Right? How about telling Tyler he should show Carly how upset he is?!? Good grief Drew - I don't think he ever watched more than a few clips of this show. And I hope Tyler doesn't start taking advice from this quack.
Agree 100% with everything you said. I too, was appalled with Dr. Drew's awful comments and "advice"... Tyler is way too emotional about Carly. He's not nearly as emotional about the three children he has in his own home. And telling Tyler to verbalize his "feelings" to Carly was reckless and stupid. No Dr. Drew...Tyler is the adult and the bio parent...he needs to control his emotions and thank Carly for coming to see them and sharing time with her sisters. That's it. Exposing his emotions to her is confusing and unsettling to a child...this isn't about you Tyler...it's about spending some time with Carly, saying goodbye and each family going back to their own homes and living their lives...end of issue. Be grateful that Brandon and Teresa arranged this get together and move on. You have three girls at home that need attention...deal with that. Dr. Drew isn't a child psychologist. He's barely a physician. He lacks the expertise to opine on a topic like this. And Cate...please put your breasts away...you look like a floozy.

I did watch last night, but it was mostly just background noise. Frankly I enjoyed last year's pandemic show with no audience more even though we didn't get live performances. As far as performances went Brandi Carlile's cover of All I Have To Do is Dream was so sweet and perfect, and LL Cool J was fun.
I agree! I really thought last year's show was innovative and easier to watch. I really liked the format rather than the large gathering of celebs and industry insiders. My one complaint about this year's show was the length of the acceptance speeches and some of the introductions. I just fast forwarded through some of them. Drew Barrymore was annoying and loud. Loved Patti Smith however...her thoughts and rememberances of Todd Rundgren both professionally and personally were well done. I was a big Rundgren fan in college and kind of lost touch with his music as the years rolled by so I enjoyed hearing about his other talents as a producer and writer. Love the Foo Fighters but Dave sounded like he was losing his voice...otherwise they rocked it as usual! I hope the Rock Hall puts Carly Simon in for induction in 2022. All of her peers such as Carol King, Linda Ronstadt, Joni Mitchell, etc.etc. are in...she deserves it too as a songwriter and singer.

Now that I've finished I went and looked up cast interviews etc. There are a whole series of them, featuring Penn, Victoria, Shalita and Travis. There was one point where she says 'Cassidy (her character from Search Party) walked so that Sherry could run." I thought that was perfect because i could see where she took pieces of Cassidy and put them into Sherry, but Sherry is definitely amore refined and had a lot more bite (and Cassidy had more vocal fry).
Victoria Pedretti (Love) and Dylan Arnold (Theo) are dating in real life.

I've pretty much stopped watching HH, but I still record it. The comments on the Virginia episode were enough for me to watch it. Yeah, the guy is a jerk. Why do they make people say stupid things? Guy wanted gas. I get that. So the first house has a gas stove, and looked to be fairly new, and he declares the gas stove has to go. Why? Makes no sense.
We replaced our laminate countertops this year. We looked at the options and settled on quartz, but if I bought a house with granite I sure wouldn't tear it out unless it was damaged.
I was thinking the same thing about the gas stove...he wanted the gas stove ripped out and then in the next house he said the electric one had to go and a gas stove put in....WTF? Quartz, granite...both are acceptable and nicer than laminate. He was a blow bag...she should head for the hills. This guy was only interested in her income.
7 hours ago, laredhead said:I finally watched the Hampton Roads episode after reading all of the comments here. OMG - that man is the most egotistical, overbearing person ever. The woman seems to have a good sense about how to spend her money and save for the future, and he wants to spend more. She needs to develop more of a spine and assert herself when it comes to that, as well as his demands that things need to be done his way. I couldn't stand to be around him for more than an hour, and cannot imagine living in the same house with him 24/7.
There was nothing wrong with the kitchen with the granite counters and the gas range. That range looked like a recent model.
I could probably tolerate this guy if he looked like Brad Pitt or Bradley Cooper....but he looked more like Homer Simpson.

I don't know if it has changed but when I was a kid and couldn't pronounce my "R's", school started speech therapy in the second grade.
My son had speech therapy in kindegarten. It lasted for about six months and he was good to go. Who knows where they live if they even have speech therapy available within the school system...if not, then should hire a private therapist...skip getting another sleeve tattoo or another car and help your kid.

I liked all of that story this episode too. Such a nice contrast to their 16&Pregnant episode with all the screaming April and Butch and the heartbreak of placing their baby. I've always rooted for those two and it's just nice to see them happy with healthy happy kids.
Nova needs speech therapy..she doesn't pronounce her "R's" I hope they get her the help that she needs to correct this before she gets too much older.

Personality disorders are a group of mental illnesses. Per the Cleveland Clinic:
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a mental illness. It usually appears during adolescence or early adulthood. People with BPD have extreme mood swings, unstable relationships and trouble controlling their emotions. They have a higher risk of suicide and self-destructive behavior. Symptoms often lessen over time, and counseling and medication can help.
https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/9762-borderline-personality-disorder-bpd
*I am also a mental health professional. Mental illnesses are not something people choose, anymore than they choose physical illnesses, even Amber. BPD can be quite serious and sufferers can be eligible for disability. Yes, they can be extremely difficult to be around, but they didn't choose this.
Amber seems to excuse her behaviors due to her mental illnesses. Having grown up with a mother that was bipolar with extremes on both the depressive and manic sides, needless to say, life with her was chaotic, frenzied and full of anguish. I don't doubt Amber's illnesses are real. However, she needs to take ownership of the things that she does that have been hurtful to Leah. Leah is too young to understand her mother's illnesses and all that it entails...in Leah's eyes she just sees her mother saying and doing things that embarrass her or hurt her and Kristina. She can't forgive that and it is going to take a long time to get over it. Amber needs to understand that and work as hard as she can to make things right. Stop using her issues as an excuse and have some patience...it's not going to be easy...and it shouldn't be. Trust was broken and Amber sought drugs and multiple boyfriends instead of being an active mom to her.
