S09.E19: Reunion Part 1

[jelliebean]

 

I'm a gay boy & I thought Vicks' boobies looked pretty good.  Her prejudiced nonsense about gays is another story.  Still don't get why Andy didn't even attempt to counter her moronic stereotyped comments, instead of just making stupid cutesy faces.  Man, I fuckin' hate his guts.

I hated Vicki's dress. It looked like someone decided to stitch a nude pantyhose into the low cut neck and her boobs were encased in sheep's intestine. Her idiotic explanation of her stereotyping both the gay community and Asians was jaw dropping.  

[SFoster21]

Can only add that these women look seriously "other" without all that make up.

Natural beauties they ain't.

[njbchlover]

Rewatching again...(why - I do NOT know, LOL!!!) and just had a thought -

Does anyone remember the Mr. Rogers show?  Terry reminds me of the creepy puppet, Lady Elaine Fairchilde, from Mr. Rogers...

I totally cannot figure out how to post photos, but maybe someone else with more tech knowledge could? 

[Mu Shu]

Well that was boring.    I thought Heather's bangs made her look gorgeous and ten years younger. 

 

Lizzie and Vicki need to ditch the faux flesh and lace skater dresses.    Those squashed up boobs look bad.

[njbchlover]

I think Vicki is very much like RHONY's Ramona.  Both are successful but both don't seem particularly bright or cultured.  Vicki is more soft spoken so she probably hides it a little better.

 

On homophobia, I have a bigger problem with the Bravo women who parade gay men around like they are their accessories. I'm so tired of hearing "My gays" "my gay husband" etc.  I think constantly talking about a friend's sexuality really minimizes them as a person and shows that you are more interested in having the world think you are so wonderfully tolerant of homosexuality when to me it makes that person look incredibly vulgar.  People are people.  Sexuality doesn't define a person and it shouldn't.  Running around calling someone your "gay husband" is just, in my view, terrible.

 

Oh...this, this and this!!! So well said!  I get annoyed over the "my gay husband" comments always, too!!  I don't introduce my family and friends as "this is my gay niece" or "this is my gay best friend", or "this is my straight son" or "this is my straight friend"....why does it even have to be mentioned?? 

[Grneyedldy]

Rewatching it right now.

 

So, if Dubrow's never said they are going to tear down the Beador's and Vicki backs up Shannon that Tamra told her that as well, why are they still buddies with Tamra? Clearly Terry said something unless they believe that Vicki is a liar.

See I think he said it too. Too bad he didn't text it to her, because Tamra keeps all incriminating texts. What I don't understand is why Tamra is not up in Terry's face screeching that he's a fucking liar. Ya know, Tam's usual style of discussion. Instead she's going with the "I'm a black out drinker" or "I swear on my kids, I never said it".

I'm thinking that he did say it, while they were drinking. And it's all fuzzy for Rat Face, but Terry and Heather remember. So that is why they are still good buddies with Tam and Eddie. And why Eddie can talk about their sex life at hoe downs.

Ok, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. :-)

[ScoobieDoobs]

Really?  I don't have anything against bangs.  I just don't think it suits her or the style is right for her hair.  All I see is bug eyes & balloon cheeks.  Real hot.  And don't get me started on that tired Cleopatra 'do.  Someone said earlier how men don't like bangs.  What a crock.  It's kinda like Patti Stanger making a pronouncement that men only like straight hair.  Horseshit!  

 

Most straight men don't care all that much about hair -- or they don't even know what they like.  And they're usually more focused on other things besides hair.  Anyway, that dumb Cleopatra 'do has been worn by every porn chick & probably every hooker who ever lived, so I'm thinkin' a lotta men dig bangs.  Now are they gonna go & ask their wives, girlfriends or significant others to go get 'em?  Not likely.

 

I had to view this puppy again to see just how tight Miss Terry's face is.  Oh, man.  Re-watch this one for yourself, just to check her face!  Tight as a fuckin' drum!!  He musta had a full facelift sometime between the finale & the reunion.  There had to have been some healing time cuz remember how swollen Vicks' face was?  But I think that was immediately after she had her face done.  Miss Terry knows better than to do something that stupid.

From this article linked above (http://www.allabouttrh.com/terry-dubrow-continues-defend-says-played/ ): 

 

 

I find myself adding "unless they call Coco a little bitch, because she is one.  That you can say about my family.  I do."

 

I loved the part where he says "I'm a douchebag by accident"......ummm, no....not by accident, Terry!! 

Maybe we could now call Heather and Terry "Dr. & Mrs. Douchebrow"!!!

She has those weird wrinkles on her nose that makes her look like she's smelling a fart.  Stinkface!

I think that happens when someone over-botoxes, because the nose, supposedly, is the only thing that can actually move.

[Snarky McSnarky]

I read that the settlement check she was forced by the court to pay to Don amounted to every penny that Vicki has earned from RHOC since day #1

Do you have a link?  I haven't seen that.  Radar Online has the actual divorce document, and there is no mention of either of their earnings -- just the assets they jointly possessed.

[Chit Chat]

I read that the settlement check she was forced by the court to pay to Don amounted to every penny that Vicki has earned from RHOC since day #1

 

Wasn't there a story floating around a couple of months ago in which Vicki had withdrawn a sizeable amount of money from Donn's account and she had to pay it back?  It might've been a joint account, but she wasn't supposed to take money from it.  Does anybody know if that story was true?  I'm pretty sure I read it somewhere!

 

I wonder when Heather and Terry are going to have that "aha" moment about accepting an apology.  Heather is all about giving one apology for an offense and then moving on (when it involves her having to apologize.)  When somebody else is in the wrong, they have to apologize and pass the Terry & Heather sincere/insincere test before moving on.  That drives me nuts!

I love you Scoobie.  I totally agree with Heather's bangs.  I'll disagree with you on the most straight males don't care about hair.  I can't tell you how many times my girlfriends tell me that their husbands want their hair LONG. I'm at the hairdressers and I hear women talk about their husbands don't want it too short.  I had long hair, cut it short once, and all of my male friends screamed at me and told me to grow it out.  Bangs they might not give a shit about, but in my 47 years of living, one thing I know is most straight men want and are attracted to LONG hair.  I've had friends that date women who are nothing to look at facially but have long thick hair and men flock.  

 

And holy fuck, the comments on the celebrities who go from long hair to pixie cuts.  Very few men seem to like that according to my Facebook feeds.

I totally agree.  Shannon looked the scariest.

 

What I can't understand is why they can't find a happy medium with the cosmetics? I mean, Shannon and Heather looked ho hum without the cosmetics, but in the "afters" they look so heavily made-up it ages them.  Is this the fault of Bravo? Or do they have their own make-up artists?  Seems like every franchise has some of the worst make-up jobs.

This is my experience as well. It's why I'm grateful to be an old lady, out of that game, wearing my hair short as a boy's, happy as a clam.

[sasha206]

I think Tamra lost all credibility in the "take down the Beadors" controversy when she said, in one of her interviews, something along the lines of "Did I say it? I dunno, I was drunk."

 

Oh yeah, that's right.  It was the classic non-denial.  I'm going to lie and say I didn't say it but I'll leave the door open and blame it on being drunk.

[motorcitymom65]

Here you go....the story about Vicki making the $95K mistake....doesn't her career involve helping folks with financial issues?

[Snarky McSnarky]

Thanks Jeanette!  They do make it sound like he got a lot more than he did:

 

"The oddity is Vicki’s husband hated the show and made remarks how stupid the show was, but he received a financial reward that she earned for all the years working on a show he thought was stupid.”

 

But he didn't literally receive everything she earned from RHOC. 

[The Mighty Peanut]

I am a little bitter. I spent the first 30 or so years of my life in Oklahoma, and the last 10 in Michigan. My gang took a big hit from some of these folks who are too dumb to know better or even care. Fair enough. I have said a lot of shit about Texas

Don't be too hard on yourself. I secretly don't think Delaware and Wyoming even exist (I have never personally met anyone from either state, or recall hearing them brought up in conversation...suspicious?! I think so).

[Persnickety1]

[Gumby]

 

I cringed when she said something like Andy doesn't have gaydar (the stupidity there nonewithstanding) because you know he's boyish (which I took to mean manly not girly).

Yes! But it's weirder than that. Not only does she understand "gaydar" is something emitted and to

be detected rather than some that detects - but didn't she actually say that to her he is "all boy".

 

All boy. Just wow. Do you think she even knows what gay actually is?

 

My forehead makes Theresa Guidice's look like Tyra Banks - so I sort of ​need bangs. And I think whether a guy likes bangs depends slightly on his social niche. Like, I don't know how guys actually feel about the army of present-day Betty Pages, but apparently they haven't complained enough to them if they dislike them. Bangs haven't hurt Zoe Deschanel!

Holy crap! That's who Heather's new hair "don't" reminds me of!

 

[PhilMarlowe2]

But she doesn't mind telling the world he doesn't get it up enough for her?

 

Well, by her own admission, she was drunk and angry that night. I don't think she considers that behavior her standard operating procedure.

[ScoobieDoobs]

I'll disagree with you on the most straight males don't care about hair.  I can't tell you how many times my girlfriends tell me that their husbands want their hair LONG.

 

Maybe not.  I think it's unfortunate a lot of women strongly believe this & are insecure cuz of it or stick with long hair to the grave -- or as long as they can, merely cuz they think that's the only kinda hair that gives straight men boners.  It's not.  My point is most straight men are likely to be pretty open to women having various hairstyles -- not just the Marcia Brady/Kyle Richards long curtain hair look. There are tons of super hot actresses & models men dig, who have various hair lengths, styles & textures.  Patti Stanger is full of crap & I strongly disagree with whoever said men don't like bangs cuz a few of her friends don't like bangs.  That's completely ridiculous to me.

 

I've suspected Heather actually has poofy, frizzy, curly hair naturally.  This Cleopatra 'do is really best suited for those with naturally straight hair.  The reason Heather's looks kinda oddball is probably cuz her stylist had to flat iron the fuck out of it & it just doesn't look right.  Vicks has said she straightens her hair.  And her hair did look pretty dead straight at the reunion, but it did look fairly nice.  Now how would Vicks look with bangs?  Well, like Heather, if they're not so severe, and maybe sorta side-swept, maybe not bad.  Heather's stylist sucks.

Hmm...Well, judging from the linen that Terry is laying on, this looks like it could be one of those post-coital selfies that all the celebs are posting nowadays.  Or Heather could have taken it just as she was about to mount him.  Sexy!

With regards to the bangs issue, I can't see any guy kicking someone out of bed due to her bangs.

Heather is surprisingly plain without her layers of eyeliner, mascara and spackle.  

[maggiemae]

I'm still not over the Dubrow "it was my mindset at the time" kind of apology.....let alone the "sorry if I offended you" comments.

 

Or Terry not admitting David is an owner of a multi-million company. Instead it is "I am a construction worker with a scapel."

 

The Dubrows absolutely do not get it, imo. They simply cannot comprehend how they come across.

 

ETA    And there is nothing wrong about working in construction....or in Terry's office and not a doctor.

Unless your name is Eddie Judge, on behalf of Miss Terry, I must ask that you cease and desist from making such vulgar references. You know that eighty year old Mama Dubrow has internet access.

I've heard rumors of a 5th Dubrow spawn. It's been a deep, dark secret until recently when this photo showed up. It created quite a stir since it does bear a remarkable resemblance......

                                                                                 

 

I am also going have to ask that we all cease and desist from posting anymore private Dubrow family photos. Did someone hack into Miss Terry's computer.

[mbaywife123]

Across all of the HW franchises the theme seems to be stupid is as stupid does for the payday. Just entertain me idiots for the indecent money you are being paid.

[stcroix]

From the first time I saw Terry I felt like he could easily lick his nose.... ick, I know. 

 

And I cant believe no one (that I've read) has mentioned the fact that Heather has had her lips DONE and  waaay too done.  I knew something beside the new hairdo was off about her, so I went to my trusty dvr and checked out how she looked in the hoedown episode.  Small upper lip, normal bottom lip.  Going back to rewatch the reunion episode it was obvious she'd had them done. Especially the upper one.  Wonder if she decided to get bangs to distract attention from the huge upper lip with wiiiide V inbetween the top lip?  It made her so sour looking when she was listening to Shannon.  Much more puckered than normal.  It's that new lip.

I agree that many straight men are cool with various hair styles and lengths. But what do the majority of them prefer?. Long hair.*

I read that the settlement check she was forced by the court to pay to Don amounted to every penny that Vicki has earned from RHOC since day #1

 That was probably put out there by Vicki. CA is a community property state so the court couldn't force her to pay him every penny she earned, assets would be split. Donn financially supported her while she was building her business so he's entitled the same way a woman would be who supported her husband while he built a business.

 

Vicki has always tried to portray her business as being more successful than it really is. She always acts like she's so damn important, her business so busy, that she must be texting or emailing at all times. I find it very amusing that her business was only valued at $51,000. I wasn't buying her bs story about having to give Donn a big check. Thanks to the posters who found the info on the real check amount and the settlement details.

Hmmm I guess I misunderstood or misremembered her backstory. I thought that she had been a single mother at some point and worked in a grocery store. I thought that I remembered her presenting herself as a completely self made woman. I didn't know that she left her first husband for Don. Maybe I just never payed much attention; I've never been very fond of Vicki. I actually stopped watching the show after like the 4th or 5th season but I did catch most of this season.

I got the impression the way she was talkin' bout Brooks, she's still with him.  Anyone else?

IMO, Alex is annoying, loves talking about RH shows from the very special perspective of someone who was never a fan favorite.  i'll still listen to her clipped, overly-enunciated "journalism" style videos once in a while, but I don't buy what she's selling this time.  

[happykitteh]

 

Vicki is a true narcissist.  Nothing has ever happened until it has happened to her. She doesn't think, worry, or learn about things that don't impact her.

You've summed her up perfectly  motorcitymama

[nenya]

Ugh. I'm bored. I still watch and snark, but I'm just getting bored of the nonsense.

 

I'm even okay with the more mild fights. Like, at least what happened between the Beadors and Dubrows was mildly interesting to me, because it brought up other issues. And you could see changes in both couples over the show. One thing I noticed, for example, in when Shannon and David were on the couch, they were somewhat leaned into each other and turned a bit facing each other. It seemed like such an improvement from when we first met them.

 

I don't like Vicki's words and thought process about certain things, but it made me think of how I act. Do I put a friend who is gay in a similar position. Do I say things like "My black friend" if I am talking to another person of a similar skin tone? So, maybe not the best television, but it does make me try to pat attention to myself.

 

Lizzie was okay. I liked that she wasn't afraid to speak her mind, I didn't like that she lied. But both she and Shannon did make me think about how I am treating my boyfriend. 

 

But Tamra just bores me. I feel bad that I am constantly writing negatively about her. But it is to the point where I just don't pay attention to her scenes. I can't help it. She is just not interesting. She is too much of a drama seeker. She is too crass and too shrill. I guess the one thing she has going for her is convincing men to marry her? I know they won't ever replace her, I'm sure she brings the ratings. But I would enjoy the show better if it went back to the original formula, less on the drama, more on the fun and cool things. 

[LotusFlower]

I actually do believe it. A number of HW's and HW couples go through marriage troubles on the shows, but never before has a new couple been introduced to viewers as maybe separating/contemplating divorce. We didn't even know them yet, and yet here they were crying on another HW's shoulder (who also didn't know them), and feeling sad and asking for sympathy. It was just so weird. And a lot of us (including me!) said this at the time. Plus, how did the season end? With Shannon and David "stronger than ever" and back in love. Color me shocked! So Shannon (undoubtedly aided by a producer) strategizing this plot point? I believe it.

[Lablover27]

Hi! Long time lurker, first time poster from twop and now here. I just couldn't resist joining in on poking fun at miss terry. What the h is a construction plumber? Is it related to a prostitution whore? ;)

 

YEAH!  You found us!  :)  I have the same name from TWOP.  Everyone is here and more snarky than ever with all the new friends made here.  Posters here are awesome.  They dig up shit, and we all have long memories. 

[Giselle]

I guess I'm in the minority in that Heather (who I don't like much) saw how she had misinterpreted lots of situations due to her own inner monologue and apologized and Shannon looked less than forgiving. Of course I think that's a fault Shannon and Heather share. They both SAY they forgive people, but they both hold grudges.

Terry on the other hand was just gross.

 

I believe the reunion was the first time we and Shannon ever heard Heather apologize so we don't know if Shannon is less than forgiving. Heather on the other hand was shown time and time again beating that dead horse "she shouted at me" after the numerous apologies Shannon offered.

 

Because of Tamera's repeated actions, lies, and proven modes of operation  Shannon would be with in her rights not to be forgiving especially after Tamera's remorseless behavior after her many false apologies.

 

One can't believe nor trust Tamera.

[Lablover27]

I wish I invented black eye shadow.  Tamballs would pay for my Edison bill. 

I wish I invented cheek implants.  Heather would pay for my cable bill.

I wish I invented ice skater dresses, Vicki and Lizzie would pay for my mortgage.

I wish I invented a watered down version of Tequila so I can meet up with David. 

I wish I invented a douchebag detector.  My house would be bigger than yours Miss Terry, with TWO motor courts.
