What a coincidence, LOL. Thursday’s marathon is the season where Tamra found Jesus and Vicki was comparing herself to Him. I love how these replays before a new episode put everything into perspective.

Way back in the day, a cast member on The Real World did just that, but the show got her help. https://www.tampabay.com/archive/1999/07/04/producer-intervenes-in-real-world/ Would production do this for any of its “Bravolebrities”? I sincerely doubt it. Look at all the shit that happens on other shows (Ashton on BD comes to mind in terms of drinking on camera). If Shannon is on her own, though, it’s all on her. About Tamra calling Shannon out…it’s all about the public humiliation for that bitch. Always has been.

Like the old saying — you can lead a horse to water. You can lead an alcoholic to rehab/diversion/retreat but you can’t make them change. Most likely, she’ll be in trouble again at some point, this time probably worse.

They also have Flipping Out on the Bravo Vault channel, if you can stomach Jeff Lewis and most of the cast. It is appalling how they acted, Jeff in particular. He got worse every season. Edit: It’s usually been running on Mondays and into Tuesdays.

I know to expect some shenanigans with these shows, but a little realism from time to time wouldn’t necessarily hurt. Tracy is one of those women who thinks she can stop the march of time. With all the running around she does, how are her feet not ruined by those stillettos? I was surprised she had apparently invested (no pun intended) so much in that boyfriend. That was never meant to last.

“Buyer’s Remorse.” I can’t even. Flagg needs impulse control. Who in the hell would buy property sight unseen? Especially a luxury real estate agent? He took the sellers’ word that the mansion was being used for furniture storage? That place was gutted. He didn’t even look at the backyard? God only knows what’s under those tarps. I would just tear the whole thing down and build new, if it’s not a historic property. Would probably be cheaper. The interior is appears structurally unsound (Tracy’s heel going through the floor). My Lord, even I was shocked at that.

https://realforreal.com/shop/ Most of the product descriptions are brief sentences that say absolutely nothing. Sorry, I’m not dropping money on something that I don’t know what it is or what it does. I didn’t see any food. There was another story when I searched that said she was coming back to QVC. In 2019. She did have a commercial with a packing company…haven’t seen that in a long while either. I’m guessing she is just someone who has no clue about running a business. The website is nicely designed (I’ve seen much worse) but it takes more than that. EDIT. I will allow that part of the food problem may have been supply issues during COVID.

That was pretty obvious. Just a spoiled brat. Josh was a tragedy (not at all excusing what he did, but that kid was hurting), and I hope the little girl (forget her name) turned out better. Lauri shows why you can’t be a friend to your children.

Nope. John will probably dump her too at some point. No, not probably. Will. I was thinking about Vicki’s “conversion”. Didn’t that happen when the cancer scam was on fire? How convenient that she found Christ when her reputation was tanking. One of the truly cringeworthy moments was at Tamra’s baptism (another sacrilege) when she was screeching that she was being crucified just like Jesus was — right in front of Tamra’s “pasture”. It is disgusting how she still uses religion to raise herself “above” everyone else when actually she is just as gross as the rest of them. Get off your cross, Vick. We need the wood. She gets too stirred up at confrontation to respond logically and calmly. That has always been her Achilles’ heel and the drinking doesn’t help. I imagine she has “two drinks” just to calm down.

Just caught the wedding…Sandy reading the vows from her phone. How touching.

Pretty common justification — “it’s only two drinks,” “I don’t drink and drive…” Vicki’s the classic enabler, giving Shannon excuses. Shannon’s alcohol problem has been pretty well-documented, but only she can make the decision to change. All Tamra will do with her yelling is to get Shannon riled up even more. Vicki just wastes oxygen on this show now.

I’ll give Alexis credit for this — she seems to have totally dropped the “Jesus Jugs” persona. Vicki, on the other hand, still plays the “good Christian” card. Hypocrite. But I always love seeing Vicki’s Greatest Hits. I imagine it’s so hard to pick what to include. I’m surprised, though, that they didn’t show her going after Tamra over Brooks. She was totally unhinged that night. EDIT — Oops…this was in response to Pi237’s post…sorry🫣

Katie doesn’t need to justify to anyone — much less Alexis — about who she invites to her event. So much for Tamra showing compassion (the Tres Amigas convo from last week) toward Shannon. This dinner should have been at The Quiet Woman. EDIT — Alexis. If John Janssen can dump Shannon, he can dump you just as well. How many times have we heard “But I know him” just before the screw-over? Ladies, please let this be the last week we see the disco ball top.

Shannon…you should not be drinking. Period. “Only having two” is not an improvement. (And am I crazy, but did that waiter look like Garcelle Beauvais’s son Jaid?) Oh God..Alexis is back. She is so gross. Thought she was going to copy Vicki’s WOOHOO! 🙄

Gina playing both sides…she is going to get burned. Gina shit-stirs…poorly. 😡Heather basically bullying (surprise!) Gina and Jenn about being friends with Katie. “Not telling you what to do, BUT…” Real subtle — right out of 6th grade. Good observation from Shannon about Heather being the most defensive. Seems to me someone with her “stature” would be above this stuff. Damn, if Emily doesn’t look good.

You know, NBC’s coverage of the Olympics frankly sucks. They are more concerned with celebrity spotting than anything else, it seems. That Tamra commercial is just beyond stupid. A few more days of this until it’s done. At least the one with Josh Flagg and Tracy Tutor makes some sense. I imagine Heather would have demanded to be flown to Paris first class to do a spot. Yes, it’s snarky, but she’s gotten on my last nerve. (Another beef. NBC must really strongarm their affliates to provide nonstop coverage on their local news. My newscast — right after about 12 hours of live coverage — is half about the Olympics, and the other morning I found out about the weather in Paris before I did my own city. I’ll go yell at clouds now…) Not to mention Ashley packing up and leaving her dog behind, after moving in. Lauri really paid the Poor Parenting tax, sadly.

Thanks, ZettaK, for starting these episode threads.

You’d think. Really, I’ve concluded that this is just as much on Gina and the landlord as it is on Jenn. If I’m a Realtor I want to know my buyer/renter is qualified, and has a reasonably clean credit history, because if not, it blows back on me and my reputation. Same if I’m a landlord. Maybe this is one reason why most Realtors don’t really want to deal with renters. (Know for a fact — I was looking to rent a house last year and didn’t want to go it alone. I could not find a real estate agency that offered rentals. Websites said they did, but links always steered me toward homes for sale.) It sounds to me like Gina, acting as a friend, guaranteed Jenn was “good for it.” Never, ever do serious business like this with a friend. Too many land mines that can ruin that friendship. But that’s just me. Exactly.

Even then, I think this is what they call “karma farming” on Reddit. These two want to keep their names and mugs out there by any means possible. I can maybe see Terry having a following in LA (do celebrities even go to him?), but both are D-listers posing as A-listers, and owe their “fame” mainly to Bravo and E! Haven’t kept up, but are they trying now to shoehorn Nicky Dubrow into Million Dollar Listing LA as an intern, or something? So it continues… (And I don’t care what Heather has to say about the Olympics, either.)

Who would know (or care) about Terry and Heather Dubrow, other than those who follow Bravo? They paid someone to show up and snap a few phony pics so they could put them on social media. They are just as thirsty for attention as anyone else who jumps up and yells “ME! ME! ME!” Kinda pathetic, actually. Pull up a chair.

Frankly, I think all these shows could use a good housecleaning every so often. They get just too comfortable with the attacks and it gets to be too much. I don’t watch NJ, but I read posts here and on Reddit and it sounds like that franchise is beyond toxic. OC is heading that way. Maybe Heather and Terry 💰💰💰💰? You’d think Heather would be above this kind of jerkiness.

https://people.com/jax-taylor-breaks-silence-after-entering-in-patient-mental-health-facility-8687312 About time — seriously. The man has had serious anger issues for years, scarily so. Brittany found out the hard way that you can’t “save” someone from himself, and making excuses just makes things worse. I’m glad he finally realized he needs help. No defender of Rachel’s, but I think the criticism of her support for him is uncalled for. https://www.etonline.com/rachel-leviss-faces-backlash-for-supporting-jax-taylor-amid-mental-health-treatment-229924 I wish him the best.

How about some positive media about the Housewives for a change? https://www.nbc.com/nbc-insider/matt-damon-narrated-d-day-doc-to-premiering-during-olympics Kathryn Edwards’s husband Donnies head up a charity that enables veterans of D-day to visit Normandy. The documentary ran during the Olympics coverage Saturday afternoon and was very, very powerful. I thought Donnie looked familiar but I couldn’t immediately place him.

Next to Drake. ADD: Wasn’t intended to sound snarky, apologies. It’s somewhere in BH. At least this week. I looked at her Insta and there’s a shot of her and Terry walking away from the old mansion — defenitely not posed, LOL — and asking what everyone’s favorite memory of Chateau Dubrow is. Sigh. She really needs to work on her self-esteem. I know a lot people would be thrilled to live in a “glorified closet.” There is no gratitude nor humility. All in-your-face ostentation. She will never be satisfied with anything. I think that’s why I really don’t like them anymore.

Right up there with calling the paps to make sure they got “caught” coming out of the restaurant and Disney World, as they posed whistfully looking off into the distance, dreaming of their next mansion. I used to like Heather, but damn. You can have wealth without making a show of it. Gina should have made sure Jenn was good for it. Gina, as a Realtor, should not have discussed Jenn’s situation publicly. Not defending either of them here. Yes. Alexis did us all a favor and was MIA. (I posted on this earlier but didn’t see it.)
