S16.E07: Wild Cards

[Glama]

Noella is insufferable and pretentious and snobby, and I hate how she's complaining about a warm tequila and everything. But it brings me so much joy that snooty, picky Heather is getting irritated by Noella's snooty ways! If Heather was smart and could pull her head out of her own ass, she would realize how she's been just as pretentious and picky as Noella. Birds of a feather.

"Hello, this is Shannon. I'll be talking you through your phone sex tonight."

Hilarious 😅😅 I'm happy Emily is finally getting the Fun-Shannon she has been wanting to meet!

Yes, that's her. I watched the "Never Before Seen" footage and and Emily made a drunken comment at Heather's book party that Nicole was on Baywatch. That cut didn't make it to the actual show. 

I think that pic was an old one before she lost weight even though it was posted recently. 

It's her. Emily said it on the show. See my other post. 

This is NOT Nicole Eggert

OMG, you still have a coat from CC? Wow, cool! I doubt I could still fit in to anything I had ever bought there back in the day.

I am confused by Heather getting emotional about building a vacation house for the kids, don't they already have a house in some ski town? Couldn't that be for the kids?  Do they lie to themselves when they make a large purchase and say it is for the kids?   I usually make my throw blanket purchases based on whether I think my cat would like the fabric so I can be fancy too Heather, lol.

Well, I said I still HAVE a coat from Casual Corner.  I never said I still fit into it!  😅

I maintain that the Cabo house is but one in possibly a long line of moving money outside the U.S. under the guise of "leaving something to the kids".  No U.S. taxes, accounts can be put in places that no U.S. government entities could find, etc.

Folks, Nicole is not Nicole Eggert from Baywatch.  There was a silly statement made by drunken Emily on the show.  However, the Nicole on the show was not on Baywatch.  Let's move on. 

[Keywestclubkid]

Noella expecting Heather and therefore the ladies to wait till she got there so that Heather could greet the Guest at least was LOL … the overinflated ego of this woman 

[Chatty Cake]

Dr Jen constantly mentions that she is the one that works to the point where it makes Rind look lazy. They have a nanny (right?) so it’s not like he’s always caring for the kids.  
Noella is a jerk but if she’s mean to Heather and Nicole than I am okay with her.

Emily said Nicole was on Baywatch but I think it was just drunk talk. It's not the same person. Nicole James is younger than Nicole Eggert.

I saw before pictures of Nicole James and she looked good. She had a nose job , whoever did it should have the license taken away lol

And yes, this house is NOT Heather's style at all.  

Did we ever see Heather’s room? Maybe she stayed elsewhere? 😂

The previews from last week showed a scene where Dr Jen was weeping into the phone while exercising. Did I miss it? Was that actually in the episode?

I don’t like Shannon but I *really* don’t like Emily’s repeated little digs at Shannon, subtly reminding her that they aren’t actually friends.

I had been a fan of Emily until this season with her digs at Shannon. I took am not a Shannon fan.

I didn’t like Gina her first season, loved her last season, but now I can’t stand her.

Emily and Gina became the mean girls and it’s not a good look.

I am surprised that Gina is still on the show. I admit that she can be funny, but she doesn't have a glamorous lifestyle. She was living in a Casita & went through a difficult divorce.

I don't really see why either her or Gina are there. Maybe it's just that with 3 firings last season, they didn't want all new HW  other than Shannon and  if course, the return of heather. They didn't exactly score a huge success with the 3 new ones either-boring, boring and horrible. It must be really hard to cast for this show.  Why on earth would they cast a friend of Braunwin when she was pretty much universally hated? I can certainly see why she and Noella are friends. You would have to be crazy to get close to either of them and, well, they're both crazy.

I bet most real housewives run far away and as quickly as possible from being cast on this dumpster fire.

[Vivigirl10]

I'm having a hard time suspending reality in order to digest this show.  The majority of these women would not be (are not) friends in real life and therefore, would never seek each other out to constantly have to "talk things over".  Come on.  If some rando friend of a friend made a nasty comment about you, you'd just steer clear of them at parties.  This season, the ladies have to reach out, bury the hatchet and have all these deep heart to heart talks to "clear the air".  It's so ridiculous and unbelievable.  

Another problem:  Noella doesn't know Shannon, Emily and Gina from a person she passed in line at Starbucks this morning.  Why are these women so desperate to be there for her?  It's kind of odd to be loaded down with a person's personal tragedy when you have no previous relationship with them.  All this fake concern is cringe worthy.    

I went down a rabbit hole yesterday involving a lawsuit against an LA plastic surgeon.  Terry was listed as an expert witness at trial!  Could this be another source of income?  I don't know if you can get paid for that type of service.

What is up with the ladies recycling J-Lo's best hair looks from the 90's??  

[emmawoodhouse]

Oh, you definitely get paid to be an expert witness. I have no idea how much plastic surgeons run, though.

[chenoa333]

So no new episode tonight? It's all Vanderpump Rules tonight (again) in So California. Not that I ever watch a full episode of RHOC but it's still mildly amusing. Sometimes.

I work with a few L.A. based doctors who do medical-legal work on the side.  Not plastic surgeons, but specialists.  Generally speaking, they get around $600 per hour for reviewing medical records, imaging, etc., and the same for depositions.  If the case goes to trial, the daily rate runs about $7,000 plus travel if it is out of town.

[J80134]

Just because Max is bi doesn't mean she's looking to play sexually explicit games. Noella's gift says...I don't know you, but anyone who is bi-sexual likes raunchy and I really, really want you to think I'm young and cool. Max seems unenthused about this loud, desperate, old ho squeeling, hanging all over her and making a scene.

Per the script, Gina begs Cruella Dubrow to let Noelle come on the trip. Cue Noella coming in hot as the ladies enjoy the only fairly civil group dinner of the season. Quick, get a tight shot of dubrows attempt to move her face into an expression of uppity annoyance. 

Watching this show has become like watching a talentless small town theater group perform an original script written by local high school teacher Nevre Leavin.

Expert witnesses make BANK. I was once asked to be one, and it would have paid $300/hr including travel and any time I spent reviewing the files. That was just their starting offer and I’m just a lowly academic, so I’m sure Terry earns substantially more.

Are you referring to the Chalene Johnson lawsuit against Dr Laguna?  I saw in an IG screenshot that Dubrow was some kind of expert witness for him in the past.  That’s some messed up sh*t.

Emily looks a lot better without clothes then with them. She should just wear a bathing suit. 

Curvier women who have a degree of body fat tend to look better without clothes, especially if they're trying to dress trendy. Think of those Old Hollywood actresses. They had great figures, but because they had bigger hips, fuller thighs and softer tummies, things like skinny jeans and bodycon dresses wouldn't do much for their figures. I'm a more petite person than Emily, and the way I dress when I'm a size 2 is very different from when I am a 4-6. When I'm naked, I don't look bad with the few extra pounds, but if I wear stuff that's skintight, it's not cute, and I have never been even close to plus size. 

I think Emily should look to Old Hollywood and Mad Men for fashion inspiration. She was blessed with beauty and has a great shape. She can show off her beautiful curves in a way that's flattering and comfortable. 

I'd love to see her in more outfits like this.
