S14.E19: Some Fences Are Made To Be Broken

[Hiyo]

Quote

What kind of world do we live in when Kelly knows who Hemmingway is and Shannon doesn't? 

What kind of world do we live in when Tamra's son Ryan looks better than Spencer? 

(Sorry, But I just had to 😉 )

[ivygirl]

EFF Emily’s age shaming.

Seriously, YOU ARE NOT THAT MUCH YOUNGER THAN THEM, Emily. And even if you were 23 and not “43” (or whatever), it’d still be douchey.

And then, later, to be like “hahaha, I dated a drug dealer,” like we’re supposed to be all “WOW, HOW COOL AND EDGY AND DELIGHTFULLY YOUNG Emily is! I have completely forgotten that she is married to a man who treats her with great contempt, yet can’t manage to pass the bar!”

Nah. Can’t do it. 
And wearing a “FUN AF” hat doesn’t make you magically not in your 40s, either. Or fun, AF or otherwise. 

[MajorNelson]

I thought the therapist at the beach was fairly okay, except he neglected to consider that Vickie (and Tamra) are sociopaths and are constantly scheming on how to undermine other people.  I would think NO CONTACT is the right strategy.  For Kelly, thinking of Jolie when Vickie/Tamra puts out bs lies or pulls Shannon's strings to make Shannon (or Gina) attack Kelly just might not be enough!

Note, Gina ran to the amoebas and spilled the beans on Kelly admitting she needs anger therapy, and so she is no real friend.

How do the Tres Amigas not know who Hemingway is?!  Rhetorical.  I know they are idiots.  Actually, I did expect more from Shannon. 

The WTF moment for me was when Tamra asked "who is this guy?  Is he fixing dinner for us?"  Then Vicki didn't know if he was dead or alive.  Let's Google him!  How embarrassing.  Was it Vicki that the cat bit?  How funny.

[Lizzing]

Gina needs to keep her hair that shorter length.  It improved her looks greatly.  Yeah, color correction is still necessary, but the cut was a step in the right direction.  I know it won't last because these women are obsessed with cheap extensions.  Never will understand why they won't put in the effort and cash to get actually well-done extensions.

I did kinda chuckle at Gina & Emily sharing a little hotel bathroom; juxtapose that with the RHONY ladies' fully staffed white marble house last season, which was even kind of a down grade for NY.  OC is soooo low rent.

[Higgins]

Spencer looks a mess. Maybe he chose the wrong parent to side with.

[nexxie]

If my previously happy son got a bunch of tats, a nose ring and green hair when he was reeling and heartbroken, I’d take his feelings seriously and get some help.

I agree. Tamra herself is looking really pinched up in her face. Plastic surgery and not aging well.

Archie.  Archie is the only salvation for this show.  It's just awful.  I just want to see 45 minutes of Archie's adventures every week, not these shrieking harpies.

So it appears that Spencer is just a better educated form of Ryan.  

[Mr. Miner]

I'd really like to hear more about Emily's drug dealer ex-boyfriend.

To be fair to Spencer (sigh, even though I hate to be), he is also 10-15 years younger than Ryan.  So he's naturally still at or close to a normal surly stage.  Ryan should have outgrown his attitude by now.

True but with Tamra as his mother, I doubt this is just a stage.

With you about Key West breezy424!!! And seriously, I'd watch Archie sleeping! What a cute dog!

The rest of it is just zzzzzz.  I think Icky and her lack of coordination  should tell her she needs to be more careful or she's REALLY gonna break something one of these days.  Did y'all see her trying to use those crutches? Just cringe worthy!

Emily and the other ones always throwing out the age thing really chaps my ass.  It's not like they are sooooo much older and it's just not a good look IMHO.  Somebody's gonna be saying shit like that about them in another 5 years and they aren't going to like it. At. all. So happy this shit show is almost over!

I can't tell you how pissed off I was about them NOT know Hemingway.  Vicki is 2 years older than me, Hemingway was required reading in high school, right?  Maybe I'm living in a Hemingway bubble because I live across the street from Oak Park, Illinois (his birthplace) and Hemingway is a THING here in Chicago.  The tour guide never told the story about the swimming pool (or it was cut) its a cute story.  Me and my mom were just there in March - I love tours of old famous people's homes, whether I really knew of them or not.

I don't believe Shannon didn't know, Tamra is dumber than a bag of rocks. I think it was supposed to be a funny scene, except it wasn't. 

I think the same thing and I don't believe Vicki didn't know either.  I think this was their attempt to bring the funny b/c they all want a "Tres Amigas" spin-off.

[sasha206]

Again, Emily should shut it with her age shaming.  Even with all the fillers she's using, she looks the same fucking age she is shaming.

[esco1822]

This show is basically unbearable so i'm glad the finale is next week. Bonus: we get to see Tamra run away and be done again!! Just a note about Kelly's therapist "friend," I hope he's not really a friend because it is completely unethical to treat a friend.

This comment made me laugh!

They were joking!  It seems like the 3 Amigas were hating on the HWs who went.

They did not want to hang out with them.

You already know Vicky!

Even falling off the crutches was fake.
 Falling off the table at that dinner was fake, too.

Shannon has copied Vicky’s screeching......to ensure plenty of air time.  Screeching during Parasailing was beyond stupid.  I wanted to slap her!

None are funny!

Not even Kelly’s train jokes.   That chick had a 9 pax train!  Hahahahahahahah!

Hopefully, at the Reunion we will find out why Vicky was demoted.  Cause, she whooooped it up all season! 🤣
 

Emily was bringing up the old age because last time they ditched her party....was it Gina’s birthday??......(you know, when  Emily was a party planner). The 3 Viejas threw themselves an old lady theme pajama party.

Emily constantly brings up their old age. She's on the Kelly Dodd friendship train. It's a poor look for both of them to insult age as much as it is a poor look for anyone to insult Emily's body. There's no need for either.

Ahhh, don’t get me wrong.  Ageism is stupid!

It is a privilege to become old.   After you turn 30 ....it flies by quick!  

This season on Big Brother everyone kept calling what is is his face.......Cliff.....the old guy.   He was a 50 year old dad of teens.  He also played all the ‘cool young’ folks and made it to the end. 

Really, 50 is not old!  I will probably consider 70+ old. 

I agree. It is tiring! 

I told ya....Emily has a nasty side.  This is why a lot of people do no get her husband’s humor. 
 

This reminds me of  50+ Nene Leakes.  ‘I still get my period, Bitch!’ 🤣❤️🥳

[SnarkAttack]

I just don't understand why they can't come up with better drama, if that's what they are required to do.  It's over such stupid things, and then they beat it to death.  

I don't get all of the fake hair either, or the fake boobs.  It looks so dated and desperate.  What's wrong with shorter, healthy hair?  What's wrong with natural breasts?    Another body part, the ass, is getting ridiculous too.  All that the Kardashians do is post pictures of their asses; they sure love themselves.

The ignorance of these women, not to mention their embarrassing behavior, never fails to baffle me. I too was surprised that not even Shannon knew. At least Kelly Dodd knew - even if she got the name of the book wrong lol.

Why do I torture myself (half) watching these bitches? Maybe because I thought Icky was going to have limited appearances this year.

The Tres Amigas puzzlement over Hemingway was painful to watch. So much for that "University of Successful Children" education, Shannon. Funny how the producer was trying to trap Kelly with the question about her favorite Hemingway novel, and she nearly got it right.

I should find Emily's continual age jabs at them annoying, but since it's directed at them, I don't. Emily's the only one I have any hope for, at this point. Hopefully she gets some actual therapy.

The reunion's going to be a bit jarring, given the total 180s in Kelly's and Gina's relationships since the season was filmed.

Tamra went natural a few years ago.  She has her old implants at the WWHL Clubhouse.

This year....her boobs are bigger than 2008!
 

I do not think she had those last season. 
 

The diaper butt and lip injections has to be the ugliest plastic surgery trend. 
 

I am cool with everything else and let’s hope the job looks good. 
 

Some women need breast enhancement.  Whether larger, post-maternity or reconstruction.  
 

Yea, I do not understand why people cannot grow their hair.  
 

I love long hair!  Mine touches my hips.....and, I am never cutting it!  I follow a long hair diet.

In my experience “old” is always about 15-20 years older than one’s current age.  It keeps getting farther out for me!  😁

I, too, was appalled that the Tres Amoebas couldn't identify Ernest Hemingway.

Vicki's excuse was that he died before she was born.  So she also wouldn't be able to identify Abraham Lincoln?  George Washington?  Julius Caesar?  Mmmmkay.

And Shannon, if you hold a degree from USC and still have no idea who Ernest Hemingway is, then you need your money back.  Or enroll in any junior college....they'll teach you.

As for Tamra, I think her face has been pulled so tight that her brain cells are being squeezed.  And her chest melons are restricting blood flow.  So that's my excuse for her.

Also, if you happen to find yourself in a city where someone of historical significance lived, and you have the opportunity, why wouldn't you go?  I gotta give the 3 who went props, as they seemed inquisitive and seemed to enjoy it.

Me too, same age and I never read a Hemingway book in high school either.....not saying they weren't assigned, I just didn't read them (rim shot, and I'll show myself out)  I tried and tried to like him and I just don't like his books, he life story, I LOVE, but his writing, not so much.
