Yes, I do. But Teddi is also no prize. Neither deserve a place on my teevee.

Well, at least they didn’t go that far. The episode was already incomprehensible enough to those who don’t watch The Traitors in the first place. Somehow, envisioning Teddi in a kilt makes me want to reach for the eye bleach. I just looked, and while Season 3 of The Traitors US is in the can, the best guess is it won’t air until sometime in early 2025. Maybe Bravo-NBC Universal were told it would air this fall. You know how they both love to cross-promote shows using Bravolebrities. (See the stupid Olympics commercial with Tamra.) They probably could have just skipped this week altogether — nothing really advanced the plot lines.

This franchise seems to decline exponentially every year. The early seasons are truly entertaining to watch. Was that the season with the Ireland trip?

John Mellencamp is a cool dude. He still lives in Indiana and is just a regular guy. I wasn’t much of a John Cougar fan in the ‘80s, but his later music is excellent. Have fun! They’re always pulling out their lip gloss — it’s like a nervous tic or something. I still wish Shannon would get off the alcohol, period. She probably rationalizes it as it being okay if she doesn’t drive. Not going to suggest she go to AA or get treatment, because that’s her decision to make.

Just saw an online comment that this episode was right up there with the lizard funeral on Vanderpump Rules. In VR’s defense, I find that a tad harsh. At least the funeral didn’t suck up the entire hour, it was pretty much in keeping with Schwartz’s personality, was funny because it was ridiculous, and it included some of the plot line drama, which made it kind of bearable. Three days later, and I’m still 🤔at why they thought this was worth airing. The Tres Amigas bullshit felt forced, as did Heather and Katie’s conversation. The “game” was pointless, as was Tamra getting thrown in the pool. Why? If they wanted a break from the drama, they could have done better. If this was a trial balloon to find Teddi another Housewife home, it failed. Nobody wants her back — Tamra doesn’t need another henchwoman. If it was to promote The Traitors US, they did that show no favors.

It really says something that the marathon from 2011 that came before this was 1,000% more entertaining. (It had the Tamra-Jeana wine throwing, with Tamra’s mom getting involved, and Tamra’s “cyst and decease” order, which, if she hasn’t, should trademark. Wait, wut? This is the woman who got dunked in the pool by her pasture? I still find her crawling out of the pool last night funny.

Seems to me they want the Vicki-Teddi feud to continue, especially if Tamra and Teddi are buds. If either has to come back, I pick Vicki. Teddi is vile.

There is a UK version of The Traitors. WAY better than the US knockoff.

I think it was NBC Universal’s half-assed way to promote The Traitors. It’s only on Peacock and Bravo has shown it (although not in awhile), but I’m sure a lot of people were clueless about what this was supposed to be about. Tamra hosting this because she was in The Traitors is a joke. She was “sick” early on and didn’t participate, didn’t do much when she finally did, and was sent home early. The whole premise was just stupid and a waste of time, and Teddi just added to the suckitude with her beret and cane. My highlight was Tamra dragging herself out of the pool. One of the worst HW episodes in my memory. A yawner. But, but…BUSINESS! Insurance waits on no man (or woman). I would have grabbed that phone and thrown it out the window. I hate it when people do that.

If it’s a first offense, you usually have options. She did say since the girls were gone, she has no transportation. In my state you can get limited driving privileges if you can give a reason (like work). Also, I think the Breathalyzer is connected somehow to the ignition — if you blow above the limit, the car won’t start. Regardless, it showed how complicated your life gets with that hanging over your head.

I had to roll back to see who pushed her in — yep, Teddi. Then Tamra does a Vicki and acts as if she nearly drowned. Please. I was guessing it was Gina by the way the voiceover sounded, but Heather mentioning the cane was pure Traitor misdirection.

That was maybe the most boring episode I’ve sat through in a long time. I have to agree, though, as someone who’s watched The Traitors. Heather would be perfect for it. Maybe that was the point of tonight — this was an audition for the next Bravolebrity Traitor.

Sorry, but this game is stupid.

“In the spirit of inclusivity…” LOL. Then Katie going on about Heather’s talons in her face. Well, now we know what happened to Shannon’s business. Actually, those scenes of her and the breathlyzer and then talking with her business manager were great lessons about what a DUI can cost you. A HW PSA. Teddi and Vicki. I had forgotten about Bravocon. 🔥 Where is soon-to-be Mrs. Jesus Jugs Janssen? (Credit to Reddit.)

Anybody else yelling “Don’t do it, Shannon!” when Tamra invites her and Vicki to her party?

OMG. I just saw where Lauri’s son Josh died some months ago. What a tragedy he was. Died on Easter. LOL. Good luck, Lex.

This is great. Jeana throws a drink at Tamra that hits some unknown woman, who then pushes Jeana in the back: Brianna: “Oh my God, I thought this was a classy party.” Based on the summary for tonight, I now see where Bravo is going with this marathon. Past is always prologue, LOL.

Guess which episode is running right now on the marathon? 😅 Bravo must have a crystal ball…Apparently she had ulcers then, so who knows. Tamra is mad at Gretchen because Gretchen is seeing it as getting attention. Fair assumption. (Next up is the legendary Jeana-Tamra fight where Tamra brings up the “cyst and decease”. Good times.) Paging Slade Smiley…

Sorry, I don’t care if she is a celebrity. The way Jax often talked to her and acted — nobody deserves that. Britt has her faults to be sure, but I’m not giving Jax any free pass here by implying she accepted it or ignored it to snag him, so she knew what she was getting into. We really don’t know the details, and I’m willing to give her the benefit of the doubt. Jax could be a very scary dude at times. As I responded to Bosawks, she is supposedly seeing somebody who was on The Bachelorette. “Supposedly”, because my source was the Daily Mail, which is not on the same level as The New York Times.

Maybe not. I’m no Britt fan, but she appeared to take her share of verbal abuse from Jax, and had to explain away his awful behavior many times. One time that I can remember off the top of my head was her saying, “That’s Jax. He’ll come around. He always does.” I forget exactly the circumstance, but there she was again, smiling away, excusing his boorishness. It wasn’t over something minor, I do recall that. Even though she was obviously choosing to overlook it, still doesn’t make it okay. He was also quick to throw a fist. 🚩🚩🚩 in my book. She and Cruz are better off without him.

That’s the Fun Vicki. I actually enjoy the first few seasons. But something seems to happen to these women the longer they’re on these shows. Given that a lot of this drama is producer driven, I have to wonder if they make a deal with the devil when they agree to sign on to these things. She’s never hid the fact that she always needed a man (to fill her “love tank”) and that she can’t stand to be alone. No wonder men like Brooks take advantage.

I bet there is a lot more to this than what’s in the media, given their scenes on VR, especially his ‘roid rages and telling her dad and brothers that he was always going to come first, no matter what. Cruz deserves a better role model than Jax. But at least Brit got the fairy tale wedding of her dreams… As of earlier this month, she was hanging out with some Bachelorette refugee: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-13703755/Brittany-Cartwright-romance-rumors-Bachelorette-Tanner-Courtad-Jax-Taylor.html Take it with a grain of 🧂.

Just wondering…does anybody know what became of Donn? It seems Vicki has become totally unmoored since they got divorced, going from jerk to jerk. I think the divorce is a huge part of her issues. She showed a lot of insight by acknowledging the split was a mistake. (I know there was a Donn parody Twitter account at one time, but other than that…) I think Vicki is realizing that working 24/7 isn’t the life goal she thought it was, and it has cost her. That’s why she seems — well, so lost.

Rectal bleeding. How did I ever forget that? She is a one-woman Munchausen’s Syndrome.

No. Like I said, she’s been at death’s door too many times to count (not to mention vicariously using a really bad disease for her own gain through her grifter ex), so any side-eye cast toward Vicki is understandable. That’s what happens. 🤷‍♀️ Sorry, Vick.
