S14.E22: Reunion Part 2

[KungFuBunny]

The ladies continue their debate about what went down at Miravel, including the rumors lobbed at Kelly; Braunwyn opens up about how the show has complicated her relationship with her mother; Vicki insists Braunwyn has destroyed the show she created.

Vicki did a pretty good job of destroying the show herself.

Family functions? Really Tamara?

Vicki thinks she holds herself accountable?  She NEVER owns up to her own shitty behaviour!  She's nuts!

 

[pieinmyeye]

I hope everyone has their pants rolled up because the bullshit on this reunion, haha, is getting very deep 

[whydoievencare]

OMG, Vicki chastising Braunwyn because of the nudity - ignoring the fact that her bestie Tamra does the very same thing!  And Vicki claiming credit for starting the RHOC franchise.  In reality, didn't it start with Jeana's family and then they added the other women?  She's such a pompous fuck!

 

[Sew Sumi]

Vicki is nothing if not a hypocrite.

And yes, RHOC started with Scott Dunlop and  Jeana Keough, NOT Vicki Gunvalson.

She's delusional and desperate in thinking she is the star of this show.  She has to be one of the most unpopular HW's.  Andy's has been hinting about a cast shake-up next season.  They need to start with getting rid of Vicki and Tamra.

[LibertarianSlut]

Kelly loses me when she denies she has bad behavior.  She has every right to explain her bad behavior is in response to the bad behavior of others, but if she is insisting she doesn't have bad behavior, she's missing a huge piece of the puzzle and I lose faith that she'll ever really get it. I feel like she doesn't get logic.  Didn't she own up to something at the last installation?  Why can't she just own the pig emoji being wrong?

If Kelly bombed somebody's house and someone asked her if she bombed a house, Kelly would say no.  And when shown proof, Kelly would say, "well, they were tryna kill me!!!" with flaring nostrils.  Like, yes, you can speak to that, but first admit that you bombed the house or I can get nowhere with you.

Braunwyn really came on the show thirsty.  She and her husband split and saw other people?!?  Why didn't we get to hear about that?  If we would have gotten more of a background from her, I wouldn't have thought she came on the show with marching orders from Gretchen, Alexis and Lizzie.  Braunwynn kissing Tamra's ass by saying Tamra was there the most for her mother.  It's cause she wants to get dirt on you, you needy sack of hair!  Didn't you watch the show?? Brauwnyn getting her vagina and face done, and something in between those two areas?  She is gross.  Yeah, her "real personality" came out in Florida.  She's a pile of bleach, silicone, insecurity and a bottomless vat of attention-grabbing to make up for mommy not being there in childhood.  Brava.

Tamra's mom is working at Costco.  But for the grace of God go Tamra.

Emily, brain trust, trying to deny that there was a train, because it's 2019 and there would have been footage if the train happened.  Um...maybe there is footage.  Just because it hasn't come out yet doesn't mean it doesn't exist.  I'm not saying the train happened.  I'm just saying there isn't much logic in Emily's statements.  She sits there so smart and smug when she's making the observations of a 15 year old.  She held Vicki "in a high standard" and not "to a high standard" or "in high regard"?  I would not hire a lawyer who mangled phrases (I've called her on this before).  And......you're still trying to make Shane happen with the snarcasm?  Shawn and his statement necklaces and Bravocon?  Ha. Ha. Ha?

Shannon really needs a new catch phrase.  "I'm done" is meaningless.  She is never done.  

I'm tired of the Jim Bellino lawsuit.  Now there was a fan who edited a video of Tamra, making it looks like she said things she didn't say?  I can't follow this shit.

I hate it so much when Vicki makes her face and neck really loose and she sort of vibrates to make it look like she's really objecting to something by shaking around furiously, like a wet dog trying to dry itself.  She did it this time, with a chop across the throat, "we can't talk about lawsuits."  Shake, shake, shake.  What is that??  Does she need medical attention?

Kelly is so full of shit that she's not doing things to hurt her daughter that I can't even get into it.  She admitted as much on WWHL, with her Fox News fiancé in the audience.  Now she's walking it back?  Again, this is where Kelly loses me.

I think Tamra got off super easy.  How is Shannon called to the carpet more than Tamra???  This stuff about Shannon getting really drunk and losing her phone and getting liposuction was juicy though.

I think Vicki and Kelly need to accept each other's apologies and move on.  They both look so bad torturing each other!  I wouldn't do business with either of them. Hell, if they were walking down the street, I'd cross to the other side at this point.

I said last week that one reason I can stand this franchise when others have forsaken it is because they really spill the tea on each other.  The other reason I can still stomach it is because I can't really stand any of them.  Dare I say Gina was the only one who didn't annoy me this time (and she did kinda annoy me when she was lecturing Vicki and Kelly out of the side of her mouth with bug eyes.  Just...be normal)?

I dunno.  I think Kelly took the finale and the first reunion installation, and the second installation was kind of a draw between Kelly and TTA, slight edge to the witches of MacBeth because Kelly really couldn't maintain a talking point to save her life.  

I'll watch on Thursay and I'll be relived to bid them adieu for quite awhile.

Vicki is such a fucking loser. Her whole schtick is she’s conservative now lmao. Her trying to seem high and mighty is hilar.  Dumb cancer scamming bitch.

Shannon being up Vickis ass is embarrassing. She should be embarrassed.

Vicki saying she always holds herself accountable is hilarious. 

Lol Shannon got lipo. I’m sure she did.

Kelly is still my fave. She was totally nice to garbage Vicki for no reason. Vicki is a psycho loser. Is Steve feeding her lines. Why does it matter if same sex ppl kiss on the show. Again she did not  start the show. she’s embarrassing. Why would Vicki expect respect. Ugh go away Vicki!

It was also ridiculous for Kelly to insinuate that Shannon lost all that weight by liposuction.  Give the lady credit, she worked hard and who cares if she had some of the jiggly bits sucked out?

Wasn't it established, on the show, at the start of the season that she had gotten this procedure done through Brian? I remember her being at his office for a follow-up appointment and thinking "Really, Kelly's boyfriend is doing plastic surgery on Shannon? That's weird." But maybe it was just Botox and I'm remembering wrong. In any case, it would be hard to prove Shannon didn't tell Kelly about it herself.  

I'm disappointed that Tamra seemingly skated through the segment about her manipulations. Nothing about her making fun of Shannon's head injury behind her back? Really?

Yes. Tamra always gets away with NEVER being "held accountable" for her words or behavior.

I still think Andy is getting something from Tamra/Eddie to always keep Tamra safe with an orange. 

I can see Tamra giving AC BJ's. Although I haven't polled every man on the planet, I have asked many straight guys AND gay guys  if they cared about whether the BJ was given by a straight woman, a gay guy or any combination of a person's sexuality. The answers were always: "No, don't care who gives the BJ....female or male. It's just a bj." And AC has always made it known he is promiscuous. IMO IMO!

I could be remembering incorrectly, but I think the plastic surgery that Shannon had at Dr. Brian's in that episode was her face. NOT her stomach.

There is a procedure that's advertised on TV, magazines etc.,ad nauseum, in Southern California called "body sculpting". I think it might be the same thing as lipo, the name has just been changed to "body sculpting".

From viewing the body sculpting pics, the results look just like lipo. Maybe the "body sculpting" is safer? Less down time? I don't know.

I don't care if Shannon's great, new body came from hard exercise and low cal diet, liposuction or some pill she bought on Wish.com. She looks good. 

Edited December 24, 2019 by chenoa333

[Starlight925]

Shannon had BodyTite, which is a form of liposuction.  Traditional lipo uses a cannula to literally suck out the fat cells, while BodyTite causes the fat cells to heat up and reduce and ultimately get destroyed.  There are doctors everywhere who do BodyTite.

But yes, I agree that it's not cool at the least, and a HIPAA violation at most, for Kelly's ex to have discussed this with Kelly.  However, if it can be proven that it was Shannon who spoke about this with Kelly, then it was just Kelly repeating it back to Shannon, and Dr. Brian would be in the clear.  Which I suspect is the case.  I cannot imagine that Dr. Brian would risk his professional career on this, and it was more of Kelly repeating back to Shannon on t.v., some things that Shannon had told Kelly in private.

Edited December 24, 2019 by Sterling

[angelamh66]

To be clear, an individual can’t sue a medical provider for a HIPAA violation. The OCR enforces the law, and the fines can be pretty bad, but it’s not a money maker for the patient. There might be state laws in California that an individual can sue under, but I don’t practice in California so I don’t know.

No, you're right--it was her face. I just found an article on Bravo's website about it featuring Shannon and Dr. Brian. That's what I was thinking of, and the body sculpting must have been separate and off camera. 

I don't begrudge her that new body either, however she got it. Sometimes when you lose weight naturally, you'll still have extra skin that you can't get rid of through exercise. If body sculpting takes care of that, then by all means, do it! Especially if you're going to be on TV half the year. I wish Kelly wouldn't have gone there with Shannon. She lost me with the "no extensions after fifty" thing too. 

I actually really like Kelly and Shannon as friends and hope they can get past this. Taking Tamra out of the mix seems like the best way to do it. 

[JAYJAY1979]

Before the season started and during most of the season.. anytime the Tres Amigas were interviewed and the subject of Kelly came up.... Vicki/Tamra would be trashing her and Shannon would only say it was a shame that the friendship was over... yet Kelly's anger is almost all at Shannon with little to no anger at Tamra?  Seriously?

[Chalby]

I had enjoyed Shannon and her overall personality for years, but I have to admit that I do not like what I am seeing this season. She blows everything out of proportion and looks silly when she can't even own her shitty behaviour. Kelly is Kelly and I know what I will get with her. I cringe when she talks like an uneducated, trashy, gangsta wannabe BUT her behaviour and responses are consistent and she does have a big heart when she allows herself to be vulnerable enough to trust others. She attacks when she learns she's misplaced her trust. What does Tamra et el do? - they stab her in the back by gossiping about her ON screen. We learn Kelly equally has a bag full of gossip, but only after she's been double crossed - then she shares what she's heard. I also call BS regarding the OGs claims they're 'protecting/defending Kelly' - the fact that the tres amigos have no problem sharing any HW dirt amongst themselves is an example of their intentional manipulations. Every year, Tamra plants seeds, Vicki nutures and exposes, then Shannon ensures they don't lose/ forget about their outrage and need to shun the victim. Shannon's and Tamra's insistence that Kelly has impacted their lawsuit (by instagraming Jim) is a joke. That's part of the reason I have to back away from all three 'amigos'. Don't mess with Kelly because she will say what she's heard and who she heard it from (as opposed to Vicki/Tamra's/Shannon's constant pointing fingers yet never naming names). Let's shake up the scene and get new wives. If the show doesn't last, so what? It had a good run. I am pretty sure it will do fine even if Vicki believes she is the only one who keeps the show on the air. lol

Good point. If I could only get rid of one or two characters, it would be Tamra first, then Vicki. The fact that Tamra has had to spend so much $$ on a slander lawsuit is karma coming down the pike. She has said so much crap, as well as spread outrageous rumours, that she creates/embellishes from a tiny nugget of truth about another. We all knew eventually someone was going to call her on this. It's about time because she seems to apologize to someone specific every year, only to exhibit the same behaviour the next year. Don't apologize for repeatedly breaking your own behaviour-change promises. Same goes for Vicki. The two of them are evil. (I question how 'religious' they truly are.) Even Tamra's public accusation that Kelly "go back to s**king dick for money" could very well be true; or could be outright slander. When Tamra's back is to the wall because someone has correctly called her on her BS, she resorts to nasty personal slander. Eventually she will pay out enough $$ to learn to shut up.

Dorinda from RHONY put this procedure in the spotlight (God love her for it as it is cheaper). I would have to research how the fat is 'melted' and whether the actual cell remains. I do know that liposuction permanently removes specific fat cells, but the fat will just find new cells to expand in. I would lip everything but my chest (I was always flat-chested until kids... now I am a whole B cup, lol). It would be a boob job without a foreign object. (Joking everyone - I am too cheap to pay for improvements, but I do say 'go for it' to any male or female who wants cosmetic surgery.)

[MajorNelson]

Watching this is pretty nauseating.  No one should "make up" with Vickie or Tamra.  They are both narcissists.  I mean if either one was leaving you might say "I wish the best for you" so that gets me somewhat hopeful, but I'm sure I'll be disappointed.

 

[MajorNelson]

Bronte had one or two fairly amazing things to say

-Mom went even more crazy with her hair and dress when her looks started to go.  Whoa!

-Her mom always wants to be the center of attention, so Bronte being on the show (and in the spotlight) really made difficulties for them.

Aside from "it's not cheating for us."  😮

So, I admit to having researched it after hearing about on this Reunion episode.  Some great reviews, but also some horrific ones.  Just like anything, it depends on the doctor, and the patient as candidate.

Unfortunately, it's still pretty expensive, averaging around $8500.  ***continues to eat salad and pass by the cookies and get on treadmill**** sigh.

[nosedive]

Vicki is, and always has been, insufferable.  If Andy doesn't set her straight during Reunion Three regarding her self-proclaimed role as originator of this series, I will be sorely disappointed (preferably, followed by dismissing her to the Green Room while the others remain).

Kelly has her flaws, but if I had to choose between her and either Vicki or Tamra, she'd be my choice, hands down.  At least she has a functioning heart, unlike the Dos Amigas, who surely have nothing other than black, shriveled up vestiges of decency in their chest cavities.  Shannon would be wise to salvage what's left of her humanity and distance herself before those two emotional vampires succeed in re-creating her in their image.

I actually felt sorry for Shannon, as she seemed genuinely hurt and confused as to why Kelly is treating her the way she is. My take is that Kelly is green with envy over Shannon's divorce settlement. I also don't believe that Shannon had lipo - I think she had exactly what she said she had, and Kelly is too dumb to know the difference. Or Kelly is just plain lying, which is also possible as she does it as easily as she breathes. 

Where exactly is Kelly jet setting to? And on whose dime? Certainly not her own, as if she had money she wouldn't be living in that dumpy 80's era shoe box. I don't think her current boyfriend has money. She really is delusional, particularly where her daughter is concerned. We have seen with our own eyes Jolie being mortified by her mother's actions. The tampon scene, as well as when she and Brian were trying to talk Jolie into being the face of some non existent product. Kelly is a liar, a fraud, and a narcissist. I wonder how long it will be before Jolie goes to live with her dad FT, like Tamra's daughter did with her dad.

Jolie should live with her Dad...any family court judge who watches this show would have no hesitation with giving him full custody. She is one step away from a physical brawl with someone. And I do believe that she pushed her mother down a flight of stairs...she is capable of doing this when she has a fit of rage. Bravo needs to get control of this franchise and make a clean sweep of the cast...OUT: Vicki, Tamra and Kelly. 

[Irritable]

I’m not saying it’s ok for Kelly to keep referring to Vicki as a pig, but it does not help that Vicki has been shouting in a near-perfect Miss Piggy voice. 

Braunwyn haaaaaaaates her mother and is thrilled that Dr. Deb is being exposed on national television as something less than an amazing brilliant free-spirited glittery rock star doctor, even if she is the one who has to do all the exposing. 
 

Shannon won’t cop to having lipo because she has implied that her healthy frozen meal line is in some way tied to her weight loss.  I feel like there was another reality TV person who sold something weight loss related and then was exposed as having lipo and it damaged their sales in a big way, but for the life of me I can’t think of who that was. She’s probably afraid Kelly’s comments will damage her livelihood, which is exactly what Kelly intended when she said it.

I love so much that they showed all of Vicki’s narcissistic tantrum throwing.  Her ego is rivaled only by Ramona’s and Nene’s.  

The sight of Tamra just disgusts me.  

I can’t believe this, but I think the only one out of the bunch I ended up liking okay by the end of this season is Gina.

Shannon admitted to getting BodyTite, which is a form of lipo.  She didn’t want to use the word “lipo”, but Kelly checked her on that, and Kelly is right.  
It’s a less invasive form of lipo, but it’s exactly the same result.  In fact, even the company who makes the BodyTite device calls it lipo. 
It’s called “BodyTite Liposuction”. 
It’s nobody’s business what she’s had, but if she’s going to talk about it, then she needs to tell the truth:  it’s lipo.

I hate whenever an entertainer says that they lost weight and got in shape "the old fashioned way," just to find out they had a procedure done.  I don't care what they had done, but be honest about it.   Don't give people false hope about something you said you did, but you really didn't do.  Rather, say "if you have the money, here's something that worked well for me that you might want to try."  There's no shame in that.  Just be honest.   

Shannon always has a stink face whenever any of the other ladies apologize and make up.  I think she wants the dissension within the group, especially when it involves Vicki.  It was okay when she was mad at her, but now that she's friends with her again, she doesn't want anybody else to be friends with her.  At least that's how I view it.

Yup. I don’t feel one bit sorry for Shannon. My best guess is she’s  a liar by omission on her best days; it goes with her passive-aggressive tendencies and follower weakness. She will insinuate, IMO, that her slimness is mostly attributable to her frozen meals and hard work when it simply isn’t so. She’s such a disappointment. 

As ever I know I should be ashamed and I know she’s a mess but go, Kelly, go.

What isn’t a mess is the joy you posters give me. Happy Merry to you all!

Yup. I don’t feel one bit sorry for Shannon. My best guess is she’s  a liar by omission on her best days; it goes with her passive-aggressive tendencies and follower weakness. She will insinuate, IMO, that her slimness is mostly attributable to her frozen meals and hard work when it simply isn’t so. She’s such a disappointment. 

If Shannon had simply said that she had the BodyTite lipo procedure to help her along, that in addition to the frozen meals and workouts, that her body (which, at 50+, having born 3 kids), needed some more help, well I think that could have endeared her more to people.

Showing a vulnerability.  I mean heck, she showed us herself in lycra shorts and a crop top and allowed herself to be weighed when she was 170+ lbs. (when that trainer made that awful face, shame on him).  I was so rooting for her then.  That must have been so hard for her to do!  I know I couldn't have done that.

But then to sit there, smug, adamantly denying that she had lipo, saying she "only had BodyTite", which anyone with a phone could look up, is in fact, lipo, well Shannon, that hurts.  We've all been on your team.

Does she owe people any explanations for her figure?  Absolutely not.  But does she at least owe the truth when she herself is the one who brings it up?  I believe so.

Shannon had BodyTite, which is a form of liposuction.  Traditional lipo uses a cannula to literally suck out the fat cells, while BodyTite causes the fat cells to heat up and reduce and ultimately get destroyed.  There are doctors everywhere who do BodyTite.

But yes, I agree that it's not cool at the least, and a HIPAA violation at most, for Kelly's ex to have discussed this with Kelly.  However, if it can be proven that it was Shannon who spoke about this with Kelly, then it was just Kelly repeating it back to Shannon, and Dr. Brian would be in the clear.  Which I suspect is the case.  I cannot imagine that Dr. Brian would risk his professional career on this, and it was more of Kelly repeating back to Shannon on t.v., some things that Shannon had told Kelly in private.

I agree. People talk about their surgeries all the time; and even in cases they want to conceal (like plastic surgery), It's highly likely that Shannon told Tamra who told Emily and so on and so on...
