S16.E01: Fancy Pants is Back

[PrincessPurrsALot]

Quote

After a five-year Hiatus, Heather Dubrow is back: Gina and Emily pay a visit to Dr. Jen Armstrong for some OC style Self-care; things go awry when Shannon spills a secret about her old friend, Nicole, leaving Gina and Emily in an awkward position.

Original air date 2021.12.01

Hard to believe it’s been 5 years since Heather was on.

[Straycat80]

I stopped watching this two years ago but with Kelly gone and Heather back I’m giving it another chance. 

[FlyingEgret]

I have to be honest - I dont love Heather's tree window, or at least the placement of it - I would rather have an unobstructed view of the real tree in the courtyard, or whatever fancy name that area is called...

Yeah, I understand it holds some meaning for Heather but the olive tree is the one thing I like about the house and I think that's what the etching blocks.

[Bronzedog]

Heather’s house seems very cold to me.  3 minutes in and now I remember how she bragged about absolutely everything.  

I don’t know how I’d feel about being represented by a lawyer who passed the bar by default.  I wonder how he feels about being outed on tv for being a lawyer because they lowered the bar until he could pass it.

Think I’m switching channels at 9:30.

I’m just happy that Brownstone is gone.  I know, I know, but I call her Brownstone.  I hate when they show the gym and working out.  Happy they are back tho.   O.k.  four regulars, and two new ones.  Got it.

I liked Heather on the show for a number of reasons but I really hated how she treated Shannon, who admittedly is a lot. But Heather describing her relationship with Shannon whilst conveniently leaving out the fact she attempted to get Terry to have her taken in for a psych eval is something I wish the editors didn't let her get away with.

[Andi27]

Did these women coordinate their draped crop top looks?

[Straycat80]

Heather has a champs wall in her house? I want to see the rest of this house even though some rooms look very cold and not inviting.

I'm 30 min in and honestly I feel like I'm watching the Heather Dubrow Show and it all feels very forced and unnatural.  

[TexasGal]

Why do Shannon’s eyes look weird?  Too much cheek filler?

[njbchlover]

WTF did Shannon do to her face??  OMG - she looks scary!  

So, is this girl, Nicole, lunching with Heather and Noella going to be a "friend of"?  

I think the cast on the Bravo website only shows Noella and Dr. Jen as new castmates.

[nexxie]

Is it Shannon’s makeup, or too many fillers?

[Keywestclubkid]

Heather pulled back into an inch of her life … I can’t with her “crew” 

[nexxie]

I’ve already had enough of Heather.

[Keywestclubkid]

We met at a buffet.. lol 

[chick binewski]

I'm already over every new cast member. 

[TexasGal]

Is Dr. Jen a dermatologist?  Plastic surgeon?  WTF with strolling into the exam room in a white skin tight dress?  Having been to the dermatologist yesterday and had 2 moles unceremoniously and immediately cut off, that dress seems inappropriate for such a practice.

Also, love this fakety fake game of “hey, invite that Emily person I just met not because she’s part of the cast…”

[Straycat80]

What would any of these women who have kids do without their nanny’s? ‘You’re going to leave me with three kids’? 

[Andi27]

I love that Heather has to mention that Nobu is catering to everyone. Constantly. Never change, Heather.

[Keywestclubkid]

Why would you not be upfront and honest Shannon? This makes no sense 

[chick binewski]

I hate these half-flashback re-enactments but why is Gina all bent about Shannon not disclosing something to Heather? Maybe Shannon doesn't want to start up with Heather & Terry right away? Or she doesn't want to disclose how she knows about the lawsuit?

Whatever - this explains why Heather & Gina became chummy.

I think because she knows it’s gonna come out anyway and look like they were hiding something 

[TexasGal]

Heather’s house looks like a hotel. 

[Axie]

Heather’s house is so pretentious.  I hate it.

[Keywestclubkid]

And I remember now what bugged me so much about Heather. Good god the humble brag 

[Straycat80]

Now that’s house porn! I’m a sucker for admiring a house I’ll never, ever live in. 

[nexxie]

Heather 🤮

[rideashire]

That house is technically beautiful but also depressing. Don't care how expensive it is if it feels like a cavernous hotel.

It doesn't look like anyone lives in Heather's house.  So cold and austere.  No warmth at all.

[Wicked]

I wouldn't want Heather's house, it's not for me, but poor Shannon was so jealous

I kept waiting for Shannon to cry right there in front of the refrigerated drawers. 

[Keywestclubkid]

It’s coming across a little forced 

[Axie]

I hate the new woman after 30 seconds.  What have they done to my show?

[Straycat80]

Does Jen’s husband own a shirt? So is Nicole a friend of or a housewife? 

[TeeMo]

Gina asking Shannon who Heather is at their lunch was the phoniest attempt at trying to force the plotline for the scene. “Heather? Who is Heather?” Please.

Heather walks in, wondering why the dogs are in jail. Cue the kids, who’ve been home with the jailed dogs, suddenly cooing and cuddling all over the pups.  Heather seems to like her dogs confined in very small areas. ☹️

[Andi27]

If Gina and Emily keep their mouths shut, how are they going to get into any trouble with Heather? Shannon's going to tell Heather that she told them first? That just makes her look worse.

Yes, and how much house does one family need?  So over the top, I just cannot relate.  It’s like Heather was bragging.  Guess she came back on because she was bored.  Certainly not for pocket change.

[nexxie]

Apparently Shannon still has a drinking problem.

[Axie]

I thought I liked Heather until I saw her again.

For plot reasons. There has to be a secret or something so they all eventually go bat shit crazy.  Otherwise it’d just be obscene wealth dullsville.

No one is in diamond studded masks?

Agreed. I was excited to see her house since it wasn't finished when she left the show in 2016. Heather loves to show off her possessions. I have never seen refrigerated cabinets before.

I thought Shannon would have a panic attack at Heather's home because it reminded her of her former house with David.

I was upset that Shannon's dog, Archie wasn't shown.

Shannon may still be drinking alcohol at an excessive level based on not remembering who paid her bill at the restaurant.

[Ss55]

I think a lot of bravo fans complained that there wasn’t enough house porn, true rich bitches, etc in a lot of franchises - cue Heather Dubrow.   Cold house or not, she’s bringing it! Give me that closet, those bathrooms and Champs button any day of the week.

[Showthyme]

Bravo axed Tamra Judge over crying Shannon? I just realized how much Vicki Gunvalson and Shannon Beador are alike. The tears, jealousy, and inability to move on.

 

[Ss55]

I hate the contrived “do you know so and so” “no…bring her to the lunch/party/dinner!” at the beginning of a new season so I’m glad that nonsense is out of the way.

I kind of felt bad for Shannon while she was on the "Tour of Pretention and Ostentation, featuring your tour guide, Heather."

I was also surprised that Gina had never heard of or seen refrigerated drawers before - they've been around for so long, and really aren't all that original or expensive, for that matter.  The cabinet refrigerator is something that I've seen a couple of times and I love it - that is definitely more original and more expensive than the drawers.  

I wonder what happened to all those cabinet doors that had to be redone because they weren't to Heather's liking.

It's much nicer than Gina's Casita.
