But Shannon’s reaction was pretty on point.

[Keywestclubkid]

they keep showing the same 2 shows LOL that feels like low key shade that despite how big she thinks she was it was just those 2 things really LOL

[RoseAllDay]

So Tamra was blackout drunk. Okay.

but its Shannon thats the drunk LOL make it make sense 

or friendship took a nose dive when she didn't tell me she was having an affair ... lol Oh Tamra never change 

[RoseAllDay]

Shannon handled Tamra very nicely.

I don’t know about anybody else, but if I went on a rampage like that and couldn’t remember it the next day, that would be my last drink for a VERY long time.

[Keywestclubkid]

I have always breathed through my Who Ha ... lol 

[Stats Queen]

I didn’t like Gina her first season, liked her the 2nd season and last season hated her because she was up Heather’s ass. 
Im back to liking her again. She is living within her means and not pretending she’s something she’s not.

What is lacking is that she doesn’t have real estate porn, but hopefully she will be selling some soon.

 

[Keywestclubkid]

Heather peacocking around the other actress like she was M Streep .. and what have YOU been in? she cracks me up

Why exactly did John make Shannon exit the car on the driver's side? The curb was too big???

[Keywestclubkid]

Im sorry Ryan always gives me bad vibes .. just something about him rubs me the wrong way

“Can YOU top Hot In Cleveland, Malibu Country, and Jenny?”

[Mindthinkr]

For all of Heather’s snobbery…why does she still hold her champagne glass by the barrel instead of the stem? 
Faux pas 

[RoseAllDay]

Apology subtext: “I was beating myself up because I couldn’t remember a damn thing the next day.” I think that’s what has Tamra so rattled.

[Keywestclubkid]

Gina coming in with the big spoon to stir this shit 

[QQQQ]

Wow, what's with the sides of Shannon's face (along the hairline)? Are those indentations from fillers? I honestly don't usually notice (or care) about these things, but it really jumped out at me at the party when she wore her hair away from her face.

Exactly.  To evil Tamra.  🤯

[Keywestclubkid]

you end that marriage before you cheat .. thats the point .. I kinda understand Gina here .. you are making excuses for making the cheating ok when you should have just walked away from the marriage before that 

[RoseAllDay]

Why, Gina? Why? There is NO point in, nor good reason to, bring up that video, except to stir shit. She just couldn’t wait to bring that up — damn near salivating while showing Heather her phone.

Jenn can’t promote her business because Tamra’s gym is kaput and Tamra might blow a gasket? 

EDIT — Why are these details about Jenn anybody’s business? Must be Swarm Jenn Night.

I guess I’m shallow tonight, but in my defense these women bring it out in me. Why is Gina wearing a kilt pin 🧷 on her necklace? Am I missing a new fashion or is it to keep them from getting tangled up?

What was that on the back of her dress? Did she sit in cake?

Next we will see her riding in her car, reach in to her purse and pull out a piece of cake to snack on, lol.

Honestly, the cake throwing is a pet peeve of mine, childish and wasteful but mostly, trying to clean that shit up is not fun for any caterer, it sticks in everything.  It is never funny to watch someone destroy an expensive cake and then ruin people's clothing, hair and makeup. Tamara is grasping at straws with her drunken yelling, cake throwing and fake teary apologies.

I thought it was a big old diaper pin (the days before the miracle that is Velcro)

Yep. He didn’t want to scratch his door. True love, that.

I hate to see food — any kind of food — wasted under any circumstance.

Tamra is too old to be acting like this. It’s embarrassing on every front.

I so agree. The cake was a piece of art. 
It is messy to clean up and what a waste of frosting.

I do miss the good old days when someone dared to defile Heather's cake 😅

The bow

[snarts]

I like that they're showing the housewives home with their families, reminds me of the early seasons. Oh, and I'd kill for a personal chef.

Too much Taylor already. I am really not a fan and her face frightens me.

The fact that Tamra already knows all the skeletons in Jen's closet is not going to end well for her. Heather referring to Tamra's reactions using the DEFCON levels was pretty funny. 

Having Tamra back is bad enough but Ryan? NO! Dude gives me the creeps, along with her mom and her icky boyfriend.

[QQQQ]

How many times has Ryan reinvented himself on this show? Rebellious teen, lecherous lothario, conservative gun shop owner, rancher...? He's like a D-list Madonna. Next season he'll have an English accent.

Are these food fight antics ever really fun for anyone over the age of 9?  Anytime I see someone get cake squished in their face there's always that immediate rage in their eyes, just before they remember, 'wait, this is supposed to be hilarious. I better laugh, so I don't look like unfun' but its still there-that rage. Lol Doing that to anyone is Such a dick move.

I don’t understand how and when Jenn’s affair started is any one’s business.

She made it everyone’s business by being “open” about it but lying about it

Well, Shannon was drunk on the show for 8 seasons (the current one is her 9th).

I was personally insulted by the waste of cake.

Eddie removed the top part (kettlebell) of the cake because I'm sure he knew what Tamra would do, and he wanted to save it.

John is an asshole. He forced Shannon to go over both front seats in order to get out of the car because her door might get scratched due to the height of the curb, or his perception of it. They both also had to deal with the incoming traffic which was thankfully not heavy at that time. I would have answered him with something I can't post here, and refuse. I don't doubt he did similar things (and worse) many times. 

Gina was determined to create drama by discussing Jennifer's TikTok video. As for Jennifer, it was insensitive to mention that her yoga studio was "still open" when Tamra's gym was closing. Viewers could see it was open since they filmed the TikTok in it.

Gina was right in not liking the justification of cheating. Bravo chose Jennifer as a HW instead of Taylor (who destroyed her face) because there is great potential for a train wreck here.

I don't have an answer about the pin but being shallow is the only way to watch the Housewives!

That was a total dick move.   I would have refused and had him try again farther from the curb, then repark.

The questions were really easy/common sense (even for somebody that didn't see them before), but she seemed to be clueless. I'm not impying that all of them would be easy, of course.

John was being ridiculous regarding the curbs. For whatever reason, there are some streets in Los Angeles that have extremely high curbs. 

The normal way that *normal* people handle this is to pull out slightly before parking so that the door can open. Hard to explain in words but it works. 

The curbs can be so high that you literally can't open the door so it goes beyond mere scratching

She was, and I kind of Love her for it. It’s their job, pretty much. Gina saw a great opportunity to secure her spot on the show & take a shot at Jennifer, who she doesn’t seem to like at all. And we all knew Jennifer had to be messy, she wouldn’t be on the show if she wasn’t. It’s interesting to see how competitive she is with Tamara, and vice versa. Tamra is so insecure around other thin blondes. I’m guessing this won’t be the last of their ‘misunderstandings.’

[Baltimore Betty]

Ryan should have said something about missing folding towels at Cut, it was afterall his job there.  To me it looked like Ryan had some cosmetic surgery on his nose to look less rat faced, anyone notice that? Also maybe a horse will cow kick him for showing up in suburban OC dressed as a cowboy.

What in the world was Eddie wearing, a dress shirt, tie and shorts?

Gina wanting to take down someone for having an affair should be careful in her glass house because New Girl Jenn could ask her about her about the DUI...I personally do not care about the timeline of the affair, that poses no risk to the health and safety of the public but a DUI is much more punishable offense along with a public safety issue.

Oh, I'm sure Gina did even more to secure her spot because she did after all, when there were rumors she would be demoted.

As for the "misunderstanding" about announcing your yoga studio is "still open" when you record a live reel from it the day before Tamra's gym closing event, Tamra let it go.

I recall that Heather had a big party to celebrate her guest appearance on Hawaii Five 0. The show filmed the party

[Slider]

Heather annoyed me with the talk of the movie in Oklahoma.  She was being high and mighty demanding that someone official needed to cast her.  Taylor had clearly said the Director was a friend, and that's why she was offering the role.  If she didn't want to take it, that's all she had to do.  Looks like she turns it into something bigger for the next episode. 

[RoseAllDay]

I had to laugh in the previews that Heather could not hide her jealousy over Taylor’s “acting” gig. It was barely hidden with the coach — Heather’s passive-aggressive, tight-smiled “What were YOU in?”, which the woman pretty much shot down with some pretty hefty examples, LOL. If I were the woman, I would have asked Heather the same thing. “I once played a murder victim on Hawaii Five-O.”

Heather’s vibe — “There is room on this show for only one ACTOR, and I AM IT. Ready for my close-up, Mr. DeMille.”

The fact that she apparently sees Taylor as a threat is its own comedy. Like her and Gretchen fighting about the Malibu Country role.

Because it should be all about Heather, all the time.

She can be beyond insufferable.

Hi! My name's Gina! Did you post this TikTok video yesterday? Tamra come look at this. 🙄

[J80134]

Em swinging her wet stank panties around to give the gals a whiff was a WTF moment! I love me a shameless hussy! LOL

Get into real estate after the housing boom, when rates are high and the market is chilly. Brilliant plan! Perhaps in a couple of years when she passes the test the market will be on an upswing.

Oh, Dubrag, your illustrious acting career on shows no one watched or remembers. You'd have an Oscar if not for your sacrifice to focus on the family. The Streeps of the world won't breathe easy if they hear Heather Page Kent is back on the scene. LMAO!!!

Tamrat has mentioned her commando status multiple times...look at me, my pussy's hangin free!! Just be careful of that coochie sweat on your dress, ala Potomacs Ashley. 

New girl knew exactly what she was doing with the we're still open line. Tamrats panties are in a real twist over the dig...oh wait, I guess tamrats pubes are in a real twist?
