I edited my reply while you were writing. If I’m wrong, I’m wrong. But we don’t know unless Eddie himself spells it out. 

Yeah, we may never know. But my guess is, that if he actually worked as a trainer at those gyms, they would have made it very clear, and also highlighted his certifications. But who knows.

I will tell you I wouldn't pay money for fitness advice from Tamara and Eddie. It worried me that Eddie didn't know how to read the print out, but it was probably just staged for the show. I doubt he does it in real life. I hope. But that's just me.

While I agree that mother’s need time away from their children sometimes I have to say that it was pretty fucked up for Gina to miss her kids sporting event to go on a date (a date that she knew wasn’t going to show up before she even went). Her kids need stability right now more than ever and it sounds like her ex husband didn’t even go? 

I for one am sick and tired of seeing people get their vaginas worked on. It’s gross and personal and offers me no entertainment value. 

The khakis and white polos on the beach would have looked far better than what’s Brawynwyn showed up in for the family photos.  My grandmas would have a few choice words if I sent out our family Christmas card looking like that!

I thought Eddie was very respectful and professional when dealing with Emily. Tamra not so much. 

What?

You don’t want see women getting shot up in their clitoris with a saline water injection????
 

What is the point....anyways???

That is the man’s job!

To get in there and give you a good rub down.

You don’t need no saline water in your clitoris!
 

You must look like a freak between your legs with your new puffy bits. 🤣
 

Shannon.....is just a grifter. 
 

She is the Sonja of the OC.  Everything on camera ....so, it is free.

All the fans....disgusted!

Next week we see Kelly’s doctor dumps her.....while wearing his scrubs with the company name......also, looking like a grifter!

Kybella....they all need this!  
 

Even Alexis.....she was looking rough in this episode.

That’s just it; most trainers list all those things in great detail because they’re very valuable professionally. It’s weird that Eddie wouldn’t list them.

I am, however, stuck on “Bikini Competition Expert.” I get that it’s a thing but it just reminds me of those cheesy/trashy T-shirts you see for sale in beach towns. You know, “FBI: Female Bikini (or Body) Inspector.”

There is something similar in the Chinese culture - which is fried pig. Outside is super crunchy crispy and right underneath the layer of crispiness is a layer of fat and then underneath the meat. It is served as one of the dishes at many banquets. It is also customary for a Bride on her wedding day to have a "whole" fried pig in her parents home. It's significance of it being "whole" shows you being of wealth and it is served to the people that come visiting the home before the wedding ceremony.

I've had cochinillo asado - a friend had that suckling roasting in the backyard - on a makeshift rotisserie. I've also had a different version where the whole pig is split in half and placed between 2 metal frames and cooked over a coal pit.

I can understand how it might not seem pleasant to some who are used to eating meat/fish that is already packaged and cellophaned but I don't have an issue because though I grew up a city girl - my mom bought home LIVE poultry/seafood and I saw the prep from the start.

Funny true story: I went to my sisters apartment when I was about 12. She told me to take the meat out of the freezer because her boyfriend was going to make venison stew. Boyfriend asked if I knew what venison was and I said no. He told me it was deer and his friend gave him a piece of his last kill. Anyhoo, I went to the freezer and the aluminum covered hind leg was in there. It was put in "fresh" as there were droplets of blood that went into the ice tray. For some reason that "freaked me out - you know the movie Bambi? I swear I heard the rifle gun shot - I ran out of there like ET did when he got scared with his arms over his head and ran all the way home like that.

It's weird when you think about it - like I said I used to play with the chickens, ducks, crabs, fish, snails when they were brought home alive and had no issues watching my mom kill, de-feather, drop live into a boiling vat of water and an aluminum shaped leg had me in tears.

0MG, you brought back memories.  My Mother used to send me to the “ chicken market” where my Father picked out a live one and the guy chopped off the head. Then my Mother de/ feathered it at home and put it directly on the fire where any remaining hairs were burned off.  I used to go in the cellar and cry my eyes out after seeing all that at a very young age.  They also took my pet rabbit to the chicken market on my 7th birthday.  No wonder I was depressed as a child.  Kids today do not know how good they have it.

Oh Geeze, I told the wrong person.  I’m sorry.  My uncle from the country in Connecticut gave me the rabbit.  My Father made a pen out of wire all around, and I used to bring my class to see “Topsy” and feed him carrots in the pen.  He got bigger, and one day they told me he ran away.  I’m assuming where he went .. maybe not.  Maybe to another home?  I sure hope so.  I didn’t just realize who I was talking to.  He probably lived another good life in another home .. maybe on a farm.

Is Eddie a certified trainer or just a guy that works at his wife's gym and they refer to him as "trainer"?

I looked him up at nasm.org and did not see him listed, but he probably could get "certified" at a lot of places (if he bothered). I also looked him up at a ca gov site (below) and didn't find him

It gives you BMI, but it’s more than that. On the InBody, you grab a hold of the two handles, and you also stand barefoot as you would on a scale. I don’t know the science of it, but it reads fat mass, muscle mass, water mass, skeletal mass... and tells you fat/muscle in your limbs and torso. You see all the results on the printout. Ideally your trainer would walk you through everything, and my guess is that “in real life” Eddie would do just that. It’s a legit thing and it’s REALLY helpful in the hands of an expert. Like anything it is imperfect, but I’ve found it to be more accurate than (the dreaded) calipers. 

Thanks!  I thought someone in the know might pipe in.  I now have looked up the InBody, and its functions and limitations.  Interestingly, I found a chart where Emily's 34% would NOT be labelled obsese, just moderately overweight.  That chart has being over 45% as obese.  And here's something, the ranges I gave above are for women.  34% for a man would be considered obese.  Did Eddie read his chart or inputted something wrong and gave poor Emily bad info?

I am just watching the last half of this shitshow, I am Emily’s size and you cannot tell how heavy I am either. Sure, I need to lose some weight, but I am active, I walk and bike a lot and have some joint issues as well. I also don’t want to not eat food I like or not drink wine. We are all going to die anyway, why be miserable and not enjoy all the things in moderation? Now...if only I could enjoy the wine in moderation. LOL I have no children, so I don’t have any interest in eternal life...Botox, I am very interested in! 

I think she’s beautiful and looks great, I hope she’s gets healthy and doesn’t obsess about not ever eating a taco or two now and then. I was never a big fan of hers but I ache for her knowing there are probably a lot of reasons she’s put on weight....Tamra is pure evil. Trainers understand and don’t shame. I know this is also unpopular, but I always liked Alexis, I would rather watch her than that new awful person and her spawn and her gross be-necklaced husband. (Whoever came up with that phrase killed me!)

- I would have never guessed that Emily is 191 lbs. I guess because she's tall, and I think taller people carry their weight better than shorter people. But if her arthritis is flaring up because of her weight again, and she's getting out of breath from playing with her kids, then it would be a good idea for her to drop

I was Emily’s age when I had my first hip replacement. I gained weight gain because of my arthritis flare up (I have had arthritis since I was 13 and I am 54). I have never have an arthritis flare up due to my weight gain. This is a misnomer that bothers me. 

weight gain does have a huge impact on many, many conditions but usually it is arthritis flare up leads to weight gain and it becomes a cycle.

I had bad arthritis flare ups when I was a a normal weight and when I was overweight - mostly normal weight. The flare ups themselves often lead to weight gain because you hurt too much to actually even move and all the steroids.

“Trained” could mean he works out at these places. Whatever happened with AFib? Seemed to be major storyline last season but this season only a two second mention from him.

[Kiss my mutt]

I seriously doubt Shannon’s even sexually active but she has to keep up with the other hos. 

Even if Emily only dropped fifteen pounds I bet it would help her arthritis tremendously. I think she’s the prettiest of them all, not to mention accomplished and probably the nicest too from what I can see. That troll husband has got to go though. He’s the albatross around her neck she needs to free herself of.  

Also, I think their idea of a best friend is a lot different than the rest of us here!  It’s laughable. 

[stcroix]

I'm still trying to figure out why Gina is on this show.  She is 'less than' any of even the normal women I know in my town!  Her fakey hair, her extra fake eyelashes, her nails either bitten down past the quick or with those huge Lee Press On's… She's not O.C. material. (none of them are actually) I just can't with her or her story.  Not interested one bit.

Emily I feel sorry for because I also have Rheumatoid Arthritis and understand where she's coming from in trying to keep the weight off.  But I also find nothing interesting at all in her or her little odd hubby.  Her voice is also irritating in how she growls out her r's. 

Brownwyn or however you spell it-- too much of a try hard.  I can see a lifetime of trying to get attention from Mommie by being outlandish.  Sad but I don't want to watch.

I used to like Shannon but now she's just boring.  Ditto Kelly-- and she's even crazier than before.  I can do without them,too.

Vickie....  Vickie's become a caricature of herself.  Not interested in her or her goofy looking boyfriend.  SURE not interested in seeing her wedding (which I'm sure will be over the top and sickening)

Tamara is still an evil little rat.  Stirring pots here and there to stay relevant.  Poor Eddie, I do feel sorry for him and wish him good health.  But I'm not interested in their story-- whatever it is.

I guess I'm just not interested.  I remember rolling my eyes when people posted that they'd stopped watching one of the housewives shows out of disgust but now I understand.  I don't think I've ever fast forwarded one as fast as I did tonights.  Not interested in any of it.  And I'm depressed and sad about that! Lately I've been watching old seasons of the New York ladies and then come to this! No comparison.  Redo the whole cast and let us see the beauty of the O.C.-- shopping, restaurants, GOOD trips (not Miami) and something that makes us jealous of their fabulous lives.  This group could be found in my small town-- none of them have any real money.  And we have strip malls with a good exercise place in it.  My friend runs an insurance agency.  Show us something we can ooh and ahh over! Gah!

[Thumper]

What is that procedure that Shannon had called?  It's a real thing?  I would think that whatever is injected would just absorb into the body.  Seems like a scam to me.

Edit: Never mind.  I googled, and it's a real thing.   The O Shot.   Has to do with injecting platelets that stimulate cell regeneration.

I think it's a somewhat cheap trip for a dud group maybe? I love the trips on these shows but just watched the one where the NY women were there so not that interested in this visit.  Plus I see where  Vicki does the parasailing (?) and shrieking like a banshee with big eyes and little circle mouth the whole time.  No thanks.

This is chillingly spot-on.  It's exactly how I feel about her.  She looks like she would give chlamydia a bad name.  

The restaurant Kelly went to with her friends was called Vig.  Was I the only one who thought this was a slight to Vicki (Vig = Vicki + Pig)?  Just me?  Thought so.  

Can we cast Kelly's friend--at least the blonde one--instead?  She seemed like she would have been better for the show than the Ho's we have now.

Yes, Braunwynn, you are just so edgy for dressing your family up as the Addams Family for your portrait.  I love how she says she doesn't know from this life, and that taking care of kids is her "normal" as she flops onto a bed in lingerie in broad daylight to talk to her husband about three and foursomes.  Braunwynn, your "normal" was grooming to be on this show, hence the friendships with Gretchen and Lizzie that you lied about.  I am convinced she moved her family across the country for the opportunity, and she is determined not to blow it, regardless of what that may entail.  I think she would fuck Eddie to stay on the show (not that Eddie wants any piece of that).

I know it's against Shane's religion to drink, but can he smoke marijuana?  His cousin is a cow walking around a fence?  Huh?  I think his cousin is just an asshole with a girlfriend.  Hey Cousin, breaking a date for a broken toe and not even picking up the phone to call Gina, but texting Emily is not "west coast," as you characterized it on the phone.  Around here, we call that being "an asshole" and no self-respecting woman would give him the time of day (which means, of course, that Gina will start dating him immediately).

Gina, Matt is trying to get into your pants and that's holding you back?  Holding you back from what?  What does this woman even have going on?  Why doesn't she just tell Matt that he cheated on her, she's embarassed, and they will only communicate about the children?  Everything else can be done through the lawyers.  Oh yeah, I already figured it out--she has no self-respect.  She just wants it out there that Matt's trying to get in her pants.  Like that's some kind of prize.  Gina is definitely sabotaging her relationship with Emily.

Kelly's brother seemed way too normal to share DNA with Kelly.

I was glad at least one other person thought Alexis looked bad.  She looked like she aged 15 years since that flashback.  I guess a second divorce will be hard on anyone.  She just seemed vacant and tired to me.  There was no charm from earlier seasons left there.  Oh, and Alexis?  A mimosa with vodka is a screwdriver with champagne poured on it.  You can say it in however way you want; it's hard alcohol in the middle of the day (not that I'm judging).  I just think it seems silly to cling to the word "mimosa" as if that makes anything more or less socially acceptable.

As an aside, this episode pushed me over the edge with the waiter/waitress euphemisms.  On this particular episode the waitress asked Emily and Shane if she could "grab [them] a drink."  As a former waitress, I absolutely cringe at this folksy, aw-shucks restaurant lingo into which we've devolved.  You don't need to grab me a drink; you can just bring me one.  Also, all talk of "doing" ("I'll do the salmon") sounds like it's illegal in 38 states.  Also, waitstaff, after you complete the taking of an order, you do not need to follow up with, "perfect" before you walk away from a table.  Is it really "perfect" that people ordered ribs and you're about to enter that info into a computer?  It's so disingenuous.  I could go on, but I've made my point.  Two last things:  wait staff have got to stop asking how "we're" doing tonight.  I have no idea how you're doing.  Also, never kneel at the table to meet my eye level.  I'm completely comfortable with you taking my order from full height.  The ones who are the most desperate to be cast are the ones who shout their first name for the camera and proceed to speak at extremely high volumes during talking scenes that I'm actually trying to hear.  "And here comes the duck!!!!" is not going to get Steven Spielberg to get in touch with Scott Dunlop so he can get you into his next movie.  Just go to the casting calls like everyone else and stop being a distraction.  

Sorry to go off about the restaurant scenes.  The super-animated ordering (looking at you Heather DuBrow) paired with the over-enthusiastic wait staff makes me as tense as Shannon squeezing silicone breast implants while she gets a vial of blood injected into her...

Many years ago I was so annoyed with the waitress, when out with my husband for dinner, for referring to us as "you guys".....as in What Can I Get You Guys.... I just lost it and told her it was unacceptable.  This was a nice restaurant, not McDonald's.  She seemed completely oblivious.  It was a losing battle, as everyone says it now and I find it very is disrespectful.

It would have been lidocained up to numb the region to be injected.  On my yearly exam last year my dr found 2 suspicious areas and said,'' I'm so very sorry... but I'm going to have to do a few biopsy's." I instantly broke out in a full body sweat.  Needles and cutting down there while awake?! I've never felt so vulnerable in my life.  She coated the area with Lidocaine and left for 20 minutes before proceeding.  Longest 20 minutes of my life!  But I felt nothing, thank goodness.  I honestly don't think Shannon could have stood a needle in that area with no numbing.

Maybe she could stand as an island unto herself.

I seriosuly did (after all, Bravo loves to try this stuff with HW shows!). Her dress was reminiscent of Morticia. The chair, the edgy kids, etc. Obviously it was not but just another component of BW trying so hard to be extra that just failed....the insecurity runs deep with that one!

I think it's a somewhat cheap trip for a dud group maybe? I love the trips on these shows but just watched the one where the NY women were there so not that interested in this visit.  Plus I see where  Vicki does the parasailing (?) and shrieking like a banshee with big eyes and little circle mouth the whole time.  No thanks.

That might be good because I swear they showed a clip of a shark fin in the water. 

Also, I think it was Shannon screaming she didn't want to go in the water.

I assumed it had to do with Gina’s legal issues? 

Probably, but is Miami the vacation spot for legally troubled Housewives? The US has a lot more to offer, lol.

Me too. I like Meghan, I'd hoped she did bring  the babies,   just to piss Vicki  off

First Vickie didn't remember Meghan, probably because she considers herself the OG and once a HW leaves the show, she doesn't bother with them anymore. More reasons why I love that she has been demoted. Why would she think Meghan would bring her kids? It was clearly an adult party Tamra was describing.

I think it's because Bronwyn is "organizing" the trip and she just moved from Miami after living there for many years. Agree that it probably also has a lot to do with Gina. Wasn't she whining about losing her passport a few episodes ago?

Yes.  As soon as I saw the dress on the bottom .. I said Morticia.

According to what I’ve read on social media, Emily and Kelly have since become close. 

That’s good.  Kelly will teach Emily how to beat the crap out of that wimpy husband of hers.

It's sad to think that if this show implodes due to lack of viewers that Vicki is going to take credit, saying that it was because she was demoted.

I looked him up at nasm.org and did not see him listed, but he probably could get "certified" at a lot of places (if he bothered). I also looked him up at a ca gov site (below) and didn't find him

https://search.dca.ca.gov/

update: his website says
Eddie has various indoor cycling certifications such as Spinning, Lemond, FreeMotion to name a few. He has trained at many prominent clubs in Orange County such as Equinox, Sports Club LA\Irvine and The Renaissance Sport Aliso Viejo for over 15 years. He is a TRX Certified trainer and holds many other Certifications that have improved his ability to create and capture the essence of clients’ needs.

I posted this before:

Ronnie and Ben's imitation of Vicki's answering machine

Now I'm picturing Vicki saying "Eddie got trained" It's not a rumor that she's spreading. She read it in an article. It's not gossip if it comes from his bio. Now get a job

Tamra is vile. Trying to mention "train" as much as possible and her minion Gina playing along with her. If Tamra and Vicki are back next season then I am done. It's difficult enough to watch them this season.

I still think from the jump - meaning as soon as the reunion was filmed Tamra decided she wanted Emily off the show and was grooming Gina to help take her down. This is prior to their knowledge of Vicki being "demoted"

Gina was extremely vicious to Shannon at the reunion, yet suddenly they started hanging out. This was Tamra's doing. Gina is just like her mentor Tamra and all she cares about is saving her own ass/orange.

This season of Emily going to Tamra/Eddie/Cut Fitness served 3 purposes for Tamra. It gets her free advertising for her failing business. Plus she gets to shade Emily about her weight. It also muddies the water when Gina is suddenly mad at Emily again, wink wink implying it has nothing to do with Tamra.

This Shane "cousin" anger is ridiculous. He didn't "stood her up" as Gina says - she knew in advance. Gina had time to cancel the babysitter and stay at home. She couldn't ask Mr Porsche? No one else swiped right for her? Why would Gina want to date anyone related to Shane when she bad mouths Shane herself? How would going out on a date on camera make Gina's world better?

Gina is full of shit. Fuck You Gina!

Seemed to be major storyline last season but this season only a two second mention from him.

I think Eddie said that he went through ablation twice and it seemed to have stopped the afib.

I probably wouldn't have noticed this as much.  The difference was very noticeable once they showed the flashback of her with Jim.  

Yeah, Alexis looks like the years have worn her down a bit. Just like all of us, lol.

My brother had the same procedure and seems right as rain now and since, thank god.

Aww, I have a soft spot for her because she reminds me of my beloved college roommate who was also from Jersey. She passed away suddenly and very prematurely a few years ago and when I hear the cadence in GIna's voice, I hear my Michele's, too. But I don't expect anyone to agree with me on that, lol.

Ben Mandelker and Ronnie Karam sometimes do their Watch What Crappens Podcast in front of a live audience.

A few weeks ago - they did this with the Miravel Spa - Shannon getting bonked episode

They also each carried plastic hammers

Bwahahahaha

OMG. that's the way to do it.  "I read it somewhere, I read it somewhere.  I'm just repeating it."
