    S17.E15: The Tipping Point

    in The Real Housewives Of Orange County

    Already at the penultimate episode? So much for Tamra reviving the show. I don’t think there’s been a season this short since the COVID restriction year, which Tamra poked fun of at the time.

    Shannon was too lazy to figure out how to get a toothbrush for 5 (?!?) days? What a fucking slob. When all it took was Tamra to make a quick call to the desk, no need to worry about being lost forever to the endless tram routes.

    Heather was right; Gina was onto Tamra before anyone else, but suddenly she takes her at her word? Emily’s gone all in on Team Abuelas, is Gina worried she needs to fall in line or else she’s going to end up on an island on her own? That could haunt her because if Heather does quit and everyone else returns next season, Gina’s so clearly going to be the target especially if Cancer Scammer comes back…

    …But it actually kind of seems that Cancer Scammer might be over the show now? She clearly has a bug up her ass about not being in the main group, and she’s made it no secret that Friend or Guest status isn’t going to cut it for the “OG”. I’m sure of one thing — she sure has hell hasn’t matured enough to be over dinner fighting. Perhaps she’s just upset that Heather is the target instead of Jen or Gina.

    Shannon has allegedly apologized to Gina (at the reunion I assume?) but then immediately excused it saying some BS like she wasn't trying to claim CPS would have come to take the kids. Even Tamra called bull.

    If Shannon isn't with John Jensen, she's not just calling Emily a liar, but also her good friend Jeff Lewis. If they are still broken up, and she got into an argument with his daughter, no idea why he'd be the one dogsitting Archie while the Tres Abuelas are in NYC.

    Viki thinking she's a member of the Madrigal family from Encanto. We don't talk about the cancer scheme timeline, no no no... Tamra and Shannon publicly absolve her of any wrongdoing. Yeah right. Guess ticket sales are decent for their "comedy" act road show and they don't want to risk another falling out. Those three are stuck together for life now like Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn in Death Becomes Her.

    Tamra is just trash.  I might say this weekly.  

    That's okay, it really can't be said enough.

    But I will begrudgingly say she made me laugh twice this week. Once when imitating Emily's sandy cucumber slice, and when she hid behind a napkin to crack up at Emily and Heather's argument over monograms and wet suits.

    Emily was being a drunken ass at the HD party, but the resulting argument in Mexico was amazing!

    "There was sand in the food!"

    "It hurts me that you say that. And it hurt me when you called me a whale trainer."

    "You were wearing a wet suit on a slip and slide! Of course I said you looked like a seal trainer!"

    Meanwhile Gina is cracking up while sitting directly across from Heather, Taylor is crumbling into Shannon's arm, and Tamra is trembling behind a napkin struggling in vain to not completely lose it, while Shannon is just like "are you all kidding me with this shit?"

    I loved every moment of it.

     

    Heather probably should have left it at she would have felt judged for celebrating the sale (and she's right), and not added the part about worrying about it leaking to the press. Uh Heather? You haven't joined RHoBH yet where everyone has the tabloids in their contacts list, you're still on OC much to your dismay. Even Gina and Shannon got to be on the same page in taking offense to the accusation that they'd go blabbing to Radar Online or something.

    I didn't catch why Gina said she thought Heather said Tamra but wasn't certain and so didn't correct Emily. She's dry now so it can't be that she was drunk at the time that Heather told them. But I will say it IS kinda shitty if Heather said "she was talking shit about you but I can't tell you what she said." C'mon now.

    I don't think Shannon gets to skate by on a technicality. I'm almost positive she outright said that the words "Child Protective Services" never came out of her mouth at all. She would never! May she be struck down dead which is how we should know she's telling the truth! So she's still a liar and/or a drunk, and sorry Tamra but you'd better be standing right next to her when lightning strikes.

    The audacity of Tamra to say that Heather and Emily are "bullying" Shannon. I can't believe that came out of Tamra's mouth.

    I give the producers credit, they're not taking sides and are calling out Heather and Shannon equally. Heather's not the one gossiping in front of the camera, but she lost her moral high ground when she revealed everything in her interview (although I do appreciate finally knowing what was said). And true to form, Shannon silently seething at the table when attention turns to the business endeavors of women she's not on good terms with (and she's done that enough times over the years for me not to give her the benefit of the doubt that she was just upset about the CPS argument that her BFF brought up to her in the first place). At least she knew better than to whip out her phone this time, but still she had to hightail it out of there as soon as possible.

    Unfortunately Tamra seems to be skating by on being THE instigator, and so far only Gina is onto her (though Jen appears to be waking up as well). Tamra's likely been plotting revenge against Shannon and Heather for years, and by playing the two against each other she gets to kill both with one stone.

    I'll admit I like Gina for the most part (vocal fry New York meets Valley girl voice aside), but still I'll hand it to her for keeping her cool when Tamra dragged herself and Shannon down below the gutter with the Travis remark. The only way they weren't going to come off as trash for bringing that up was if Gina flew off the handle, so I'm glad she didn't give the response Tamra was after.

    Shannon clinging onto Tamra out of fear or desperation is the biggest mistake she's made. According to Shannon a few weeks ago, Tamra mentioning John at all was all that evil Gina and Emily's fault. I'm sure somehow it'll magically be Heather, Gina or Emily's to blame if word gets out that John and Shannon aren't getting married.

    It’s Tamra. She’s a master. It’s like a kid who starts shit with her sibs, then stands back and lets them take the heat. You’d think they’d catch on by now, because she’s done it to just about everybody — this “I’m being a good friend, just looking out for you” horseshit. That’s how it starts.

    The looks she kept shooting Shannon and Heather…she couldn’t wait for the explosion.

    I really want to hear Andy’s reasons for bringing her back, other than Andy luvvs her. She’s been nothing but toxic. Something is clearly wrong that she wants constant chaos. No fan of Vicki’s either, but if I had to choose my poison, I’d go with the OG if anyone has to come back.

    Jeez…no wonder Eddie has lockjaw. I would really love to see the tables turned on Tamra at some point.

    Tamra's not subtle, I think everyone has her number, but she goes so low that they're all scared of her. Jen says "fool me once..." in her interviews but insists on sweeping everything under the rug. Emily admits she doesn't want to reignite their feud. Gina says she's fed up but has yet to truly call her out (maybe she will if the Jen/Ryan attacks resume). In all their years together this is the first time Heather's been the target, but she had a front row seat to the Gretchen and Alexis attacks.

    I'd say they all should unite against the bully, but Andy's such a stan that he'll probably fire the lot of them if they turn on his precious.

    Shannon's so desperate to reunite the tres amigas that she's ignoring that Tamra's the one who keeps bringing up that things have been said about Shannon and John Janssen. Plus she didn't seem remotely bothered a few weeks ago when Vicki was laughing and hamming it up for the camera when Shannon had her first "I'm. Done!" meltdown at the amigas reunion lunch. "Gee, was it something I said? SQUAWK!"

    Unsurprisingly, Shannon dressed and acted like an exaggerated version of Gina (the hair never looked like that), reveling in every opportunity to take the piss out of her, yet she took great, grave offense to Emily's exaggerated Shannon hand movements. Always can dish it out, never can take it. But sure, you're Fun Shannon™.

    I loved that Jen's Taylor outfit included the salad cat. And I loved that Taylor had a good laugh about it. I was kind of surprised it's taken this long for the meme to come up, since that is probably the only reason Taylor was invited back as the "first official" crossover housewife.

    Shannon was rendered speechless when Emily mentioned a dinner conversation they had a few months prior, then minutes later she and Cancer Scammer are ranting about how Shannon hasn’t confided in her since 2020. And of course we get her patented “I’m. Done!” hissy fit. I’m over all the tres amigas and their bullshit.

    The Great Food Truck Race - General Discussion

    If the show keeps going yet continues to refuse to leave LA then I’d almost rather they reboot it entirely. Change the name to Food Truck Challenge since there’s no longer a racing element, nor would I consider the show to be great anymore. And if they’re going to stay in the same city, rather than see the same teams camp out in front of the same business every week while getting increasingly obnoxious and smug, might as well just do what the other Food Network game shows do and have each episode be a one-off with three new trucks facing off. Maybe all the teams each episode can be a similar theme like all vegan teams, all burger teams, all Hawaiian, etc. to do away with built-in advantages like the coconut wireless.

    I didn't notice until this week's rerun, but Heather's "there's wa-der and there's wai-ter, I guess they don't teach diction in Montana" wasn't only arrogant and bitchy, it was also stupid. First of all, pretty much nobody in the U.S., including Heather, emphasizes the T in "wai-Ter." Secondly, they were wading in a river, not sitting in a restaurant. Thirdly, I'm pretty sure the guy didn't use a hard T, because he said waders which doesn't have a T, so why was she acting like any yahoo with even the slightest bit of education would have thought he said "waiter?"

    But hey, at least she has come to appreciate that he helps put food on the table.

    Kendal tasted the churro then immediately said he used sugar not salt. So either he lied to the judges’ faces, or he can’t tell the difference in taste and texture between salt and sugar. Either way he needs to go ASAP.

    AMC says 20,000 moviegoers have booked a "Barbenheimer" double feature.

    That's a little much for one day especially with Oppenheimer clocking in at 3hrs.

    I might see both opening weekend, though.

    We'll see what ends up happening next weekend, but it's interesting how sharing a release date seems to be such an effective marketing tool for both movies to the point where it's trending to try to see both movies as quickly as possible, and now even has its own portmanteau. We don't get this kind of viral reaction if say, DIsney/Pixar releases a new animated movie the same day as a Blumhouse film.
