Welp, 2020 just keeps getting worse. I just agreed with something Kelly said (about Braunwyn "performing" her activism for a photographer).

I bet Shannon's kids are so happy that she has to isolate in another part of the house. Being locked in with someone as high strung as Shannon would be hell.

[Bronzedog]

This is how interesting I’m finding this Brownstone and Shannon  shit -  I’m half assedly watching the show and I started thinking I could go clean my oven.  I then remember I’ve had a self cleaning oven for at least 20 years and now I’m disappointed.

[geauxaway]

I just need that tie dyed dress Braunwyn had on.  Who am I kidding it’s probably like $400

Welp, that’s it....BW is uncomfortable they should’ve just shut the show down until she’s ok. Emily’s  husband could die, Shannon’s kids are sick....but god, BW is tired...just so tired from one load of laundry. 🙄

[Hangin Out]

OMG .. why am I even watching this shit.  There’s an epidemic and they are at Lake Arrowhead on vacation.  Ones more stupid than the other.  I just can’t look atBrownwinds face.  She makes me ill.  She went with the rest where there’s 2, 345 bottle of booze all around.  Then she’s complaining they are all talking about Shannon.  Why didn’t you stay the funk home, you moron.  Then you have Elizabeth who looks like a truck driver poured into these tight white pants and boobs out like she’s skinny.  Haha.  I just can’t with this bunch.  Too much Brownwind as usual.  She must have known somebody to get on this show.  Annoying as hell to hear her whining.  Whining and drinking .. all of them. Repeat.

[JAYJAY1979]

The show tried to make Brownie the star...as usual Andy and co are off the mark.

[geauxaway]

Braunwyn is the worst.  I can’t party so YOU can’t party.  I go to bed at 10 now.  Oh ok.  

[Keywestclubkid]

Oh god kelly 

[nexxie]

Wow, Kelly’s really showing her ass this episode.

[rideashire]

Braunwin could have used rona as an excuse to get out of this trip and probably should have because being there looked painful. (or even just said no and not went, no excuse needed)

Kelly....not even surprised by what came out of her mouth.

Maybe I missed something, but isn't the situation that she's staying somewhere else because the others are going to party?  It doesn't seem like she's insisting that they not party; she's just removing herself from the temptation.

She’s pissed that they have alcohol on the premises.  She’s judging them for drinking and having fun.   She should have bowed out and left the show.  Even the way she said she has to stay somewhere else.  Like she is so much better now.  It’s the way she is stating her opinions.  She is not humble not one ounce.

[nexxie]

Scary situation with Shane! So weird to see such sickness and people still vacationing together.

[Emmeline]

Couldn’t they find a nicer place for this getaway?  The house itself is gross and not just because of the bugs.  The lake seems super busy.  I want the nice real estate vacation porn we usually get.  
 

I think Braunwyn is uncomfortable for more than just the alcohol.  She senses that the women don’t believe her ho·li·er-than-thou attitude.  I just cannot even stand her.

Bethany-gone, Dorinda-gone, Brownie on deck.

[Mu Shu]

Muhammad Brawl lee can fuck right off. She doesn’t even care for her own family, and in fact verbally and physically abuses her husband in front of their kids. Virtue signaling twat. Yes I called her a twat. 
 

All alcoholics are jerks getting sober. Not all abuse people. She’s an abusive asshole who happens to be an alcoholic. She can’t blame this on alcohol. It’s her rancid personality. She’s a nasty, controlling, histrionic narcissist. One of the malignant kind, like a tumor. 
 

I don’t mind Elizabeth and Gina, but I can’t watch this horse faced, boiled lobster looking bitch. How the hell did she get a decent looking guy who not only is well off, but allows her to do jack all and treats him like shit? She’s pure scum. Fuck it man, I wouldn’t worry about this beast, get your kids out of this awful situation.

There is nothing nice or interesting about her.  If she’s unhappy with her life, go to a therapist and talk things out.  Seven kids and she’s on vacation.  Why, was she so tired of cleaning and cooking and doing laundry for the first time in her life?  Give me a break.  I don’t know how Sean takes her.  Women have it worse.  No husbands, no money, kids to feed, jobs to go to.  She has it too good and should be thankful.  I don’t feel sorry for her at all.  All she wants is attention.  A real spoiled brat.

We should rename her Dr. Deb Downer 🤣
 

I don’t even give her props for “calling” Kelly out over the BLM stuff.  If I was Kelly I would have been like fuck off I’m on girls weekend and I am not talking about this shit.  

[nexxie]

B may not be the most likeable, but her storyline is still the most interesting to me. Definitely wondering when Sean will decide he deserves kindness and respect.

[njbchlover]

Okay - why am I even watching this?  

I cannot stand Braunwyn, and I dislike her more each week, as she is becoming the main focus of the show.  It seems like this is the "Braunwyn's Reality Sober Search Show" with the other women as bit players.

I also can't stand Kelly Dodd but she was right about Braunwyn just looking for social media attention.  Bringing a photographer with her to a BLM protest??  Wow!!  

Braunwyn is trying to be the most wokest, woke person who has ever woken!!  Just as she is also trying to prove that she is the most soberest sober person who has ever sobered.  (Excuse the poor grammar - trying to make a point here, and it was the best way to describe my impression of Braunwyn!)

Braunwyn also is becoming very judgmental and I hate that about anyone who is a former "something" (alcohol abuser, smoker, etc.).  I also don't know if Braunwyn is an actual alcoholic or she just liked to drink to get drunk.  From what I know, a true alcoholic wouldn't be able to have ANY alcohol in the house, even wine.  When someone is "drying out" and is craving alcohol (physically and mentally), it doesn't matter what the alcohol is, they WILL drink it.  

Kelly can lose me with the "Rick's not conservative - he's just a news reporter reporting the news" bullshit.  Everyone knows that in order to be a reporter/correspondent on Fox, you have to toe that network's party line.  (I also think that Kelly was trying to deflect from that conversation because I think she also toes that same line, which is her choice, and she shouldn't be ashamed of it.)

I usually don't mind Shannon's craziness regarding health issues, but she is becoming wearisome.  Her daughters must be thrilled that they have to quarantine without her, especially since it looked like they are experiencing either asymptomatic or very mild symptons.  I get that Shannon has some underlying health issues that would freak her out about Covid, but she is really making herself more crazy worrying incessantly.  I surprised her doctors haven't told her that undo worry and stress can definitely wreak havoc with your immune system.

I wasn't a fan of Shane's before this season, but I am actually liking him, and feel badly that he was so sick.  However, I do NOT understand why, if Emily is positive, why is she caring for Shane and her kids??  Why isn't she isolating?  That just didn't make any sense.

I guess I'll keep watching to find out the deep, dark secrets in Elizabeth's past....and how shitty was it that Braunwyn hired a private investigator to pry into her past life??  Again, I really, really cannot stand Braunwyn, and now, here's another reason.

 

[Bronzedog]

Brownstain leaves Shawn alone with their 68 kids and then yells at him for not having his phone at the ready.  What an insufferable bitch.  You know he had to be thrilled to have a night without her.

I think Emily was,able to take care of the kids because they were all positive, although the kids were asymptomatic.

[ErikaAlyson]

One thing Kelly got right she's definitely a minority and not white like them at all. Shannon is complaining like always. Braunwyn has a banging body. She looked great in her swimsuit.

I think he might be trying to do what he thinks is best for the kids.  It would be nice if one of their parents cared about them.  She must be so draining to live with.

I think it’s that (caring for his kids) and also the fear of the SM backlash if he doesn’t support her every choice.

I agree with you on this.

 

Also, why all the flashbacks to Tamrarat and Icki, I thought they were gone so why do I keep seeing them?

You took the words out of my mouth.  Didn’t Elizabeth look in a mirror before she stepped out? These women cannot handle any stress, they are a bunch of raging maniacs, good grief!  They wore no masks and when they started cooking they decide full on face shields are mandatory, give me a break!  Why did Braunwyn once again subject herself to hanging with a bunch of boozers, just so she could then wine and complain about it?  When they attempted to have a go at some normal half-assed intelligent conversation I burst out laughing out loud, they couldn’t stay on topic or complete a sentence.  BTW Kelly, Hawaii is part of the USA.  And as for me I said I was done last week but I was just too lazy to find something decent to watch, this was too easy on regular old TV.

I did clean my stovetop during the episode LOL 

[maggiemae]

I thought no spouse or relative was allowed to be in the hospital with a loved one.

[mon berg]

I had to laugh when Kelly starts to unpack all the supplements claiming about had IBS no you don't have IBS you have a terrible lifestyle/diet all those supplements just show that.

 

Kelly is spot regarding history and learn from the past Brawn like so many are clueless she has not even done her research here is something she would of found had she looked up regarding police shootings their has been more white people killed by police then blacks but people don't want to here this because its agenda driven.

 

Shannon is so annoying again it's all about her those tests she keeps having are useless they don't mean anything it's a flawed test which is why no matter what you follow general guidelines and if she was so worried about her health again like Kelly sort out your lifestyle diet this has massive impact on your life popping all these fake vitamins etc are useless and in fact cause more harm then good she is so clueless. (Vitamin C is not good for you as she claims this is why humans do not have the gene like other animals to create it yourself we don't require hardly any of it she needs to look into real science not mainstream BS)

 

I'm not even going to get in to Brawn stuff she is 100% a phony everything regarding her is fake and these stories she comes out with do not even make sense in her life time line plus they don't even fit the correct patterns of a so called alcoholic. (One thing I will give her credit for is walking away from all this back talking why women do this no need for it no wonder they have so many conflicts)

 

Emily and her family I hope they are well now this can really impact peoples life after they have so called recovered but she didn't do all she could we even saw on camera her going out and mingling with people I remember one clip had her on public transport plus these women are not even wearing proper ppe just fashion face coverings which do 0.

 

I am shocked they even went on this trip with what is going on they are pulling stuff like this terrible just shows again how selfish so many people really are.

Honestly Braunwyn is such a fake activist. A photographer like come on. Honestly I would rather Tamra come back and Braunwyn leaves lol.

Gina continues to be the best this season. Never thought I would say that lol. But she just seems not fake.

Ahh, but the devil is in the details, White people would be shot more because they're in the majority of the US population -  where you have to also look is  the percentages. White vs Black

For their population size in the US, Blacks are  shot at a much higher percentage

[ivygirl]

Loved Gina’s overall look in the orange shirt talking heads. Makeup was a little pink, but on the whole, she is looking so much more polished! And she is now the Unlikely Voice of Reason.

[65mickey]

Shannon is far more concerned about herself than her children. I might be confused but did she leave them alone so that she could isolate with her boyfriend?  What would she have done if one of them took a turn for the worse? I guess she would have told them to drive to the ER and call her in the morning. 

I remember thinking when the pandemic hit well no more reality shows for awhile. But oh no Bravo figured out a way to film and these idiots went right along exposing themselves and others to Covid. They must really need that Bravo paycheck.

Because it can't be said too often I despise Braunwyn. Andy if you are reading this we don't care about Braunwyn and her journey to sobriety and her sexual ambiguity. She is a neurotic selfish bitch. Totally not worth a slot on this show. 

[CrinkleCutCat]

No kidding. Protests get attention, action gets change. Say what you will about Kim Kardashian, but she was actually involved in criminal justice reform. She actually used her platform for good. So yeah, go to a protest, but follow up with action. And leave your photographer at home. This bitch doesn’t take care of her own family, so I doubt her ass is advocating for anyone else. 
 

Shannon is such a self centered dolt. Making Shane’s illness about her. “It should have been MEEE! I’m the one with all the Major Medical Issues”!  It’s like she was disappointed she didn’t get really sick. But she will wield the “You brought covid in MY HOUSE!!!!” over the kids forever.

Brownstone is just as annoying like Dorinda was, even worse.  If they don’t take her off next season, I’m out.  She’s so exhausted from doing a little work in the house she needed a vacation.  Then, when she gets there, she’s complaining about everything.  Stay the hell home and pay some attention to your seven kids.  You made them, now take care of them properly, and stay off SM for goodness sakes.  I don’t care what kind of childhood she had.  Do what you have to do for once in your life instead of whining all the time.

Elizabeth is not dressing well.  She’s a big woman and seems clunky.  She needs a stylist to dress her in the proper clothing.  Too tight with the big boobs out doesn’t suit her.  She needs more of a tailored simple look.  She walks around like a lumberjack.

I was just about to post the same thought, that midriff outfit she wore to Arrow Lake was hard to look at, not flattering at all.

If Brawny was serious about her sobriety shouldn't she remove herself from people, places and things that could trigger?  Going on a vacation with the HW's means booze, she knows this, her sponsor should have suggested she not go on this trip but I guess camera time is important too.

Gina looked fantastic but the TH, not so much...center part with the droopy long bangs dangling on each side of her face is 1980's blech.

It’s sad to hear him placate her again and again - but, from some of her commentary, it sounds like he tries to fight back (even if only in a passive-aggressive way) and we’re not being shown those moments.

I imagine she can't isolate because who would watch the kids?  You can't really have people coming into your house when you are positive, and you don't want family members to come in if they are older.  I would feel bad about my sister or brother in law watching them, I would not have the nanny come - I wouldn't want them exposed.  I have thought about this - if my husband and I were positive, there is not a place to send my kids where I wouldn't worry about passing on the infection.
