S09.E21: Secrets Revealed

[mothmonsterman]

It was so strange seeing that book Heather gave Terry.  It seemed to be 'look at our material possessions, don't you just love them?'

[charming]

I don't think any secrets were revealed like Danielle being cut but there were some gems.

 

"I know you invited me to come over to paint but you couldn't have really expected me to do that?" I mean, seriously Heather? It's not digging ditches in the hot sun. Heather brushing off Terry's Coco's a little bitch comment. Only regretting that it was on camera. Terry gets emotional reading a book on their anniversary about...their lot and building their first house. LMAO. They're so unbelievably pretentious and shallow. I really hope they're back next season because it's pure comedy at this point.

 

Viewer question about Tamra only wanting to have a baby as insurance so Eddie doesn't leave her.

 

Viewer question about Michael being disrespectful to Vicki. Tamra's horrified by his words. Maybe it was his OPINION!!!????

 

Brooks grossing me out again. He's so going to move in with Vicki and live off her.

 

Shannon earnestly writing down every word her feng shui expert says on her little yellow tablet.

 

I can't wait to see to see what new housewives they cast.

 

Whoops, I see another thread was created. Please merge. Sorry about that.

It could be the way some of these scenes are edited, but something is just off to me about Heather's execution of what could be very nice gestures.  It's all production with her without any real warmth or sincerity.  When the unseen intimate dinner with Terry was aired tonight, I liked how it started out; Heather presented a lovely gift to Terry that was a remembrance of their life in their former home.  But as she and Terry were going through the pictures, they were all pictures of the house ("the amazing entry way with double stair ways," etc.), with a few pictures of the her and Terry in front of the house.  It was like an architectural photography coffee table book rather than a pictorial memoir about their family's life in a home they built together and all of the memories of their time together in that home.

[Scrambled Fog]

I love how Tamra said she knows she's crazy, but didn't want the general public to know she's crazy. Clearly, Tamra does not know that ship has loooong since sailed and circumnavigated the globe a bazillion times.

there were what, two pics with them in them?

How tacky is it to invite someone over to paint your house for you? Is it tackier to bring a male stripper with you to do the painting?

Damn, I need to get a degree in Fung Sway so I can rake in the bucks and make people do stupid things in their house!

Brooks never will cease being a creep to me. I was incredulous that he never heard the overused "if horses were wishes..." line before.

There is a lot of disposable income in some parts of OC. ;)

 

Actually, there is a quite large community of ethnic Chinese in OC, and many of them do take feng shui and other things like numerology and astrology very seriously.  It's part of the culture and even those who are Christian practice some of these things.

[BogoGog24]

I wouldn't be surprised if Heather bringing in the male stripper for the painting party was done for the cameras. It seemed too over the top to be real, even for Heather.

[Lyra Angelica]

These women are odd all the way around.

 

A painting party could be fun and a good way to help out a friend.  But why would you have it after work, with the house not even ready to be painted, without providing your guests with the proper clothing (coveralls, shoe covers) or telling them what to wear, and to be cooking and eating in the same area that's being painted---paint fumes, umm, umm good!? You wouldn't do that unless there was never any intention to actually do any painting....oh, wait....

When Heather presented the photo album at  "anniversary" dinner, I thought for a moment it might be a PG rated version of the album Yolanda from RHOBH gave her husband on a similar occasion-- maybe some glamour shots of her, honeymoon pics or cute photos of the kids.... and then, we find out the meaning of their life together,  the foundation of their family, their crowning achievement and their greatest love .... is their house. Their dumb house.  And there is Terry, gushing over it,  with tears shining in his eyes.  Is there anything else to say about the Dubrows?

I'm giving Heather a polite, but not too loud series of claps for bringing in an actual flesh and blood stripper/painter into Tamra's house and not a robo-stripper/painter.

[ScoobieDoobs]

Still think Vicks is an idiot for being involved with an obvious con artist like Brooksie.  And that she's financially supporting him makes her an even bigger fool.  But men do this kinda stupid shit all the time.  I like to think of women as the smarter sex, but um, guess that ain't necessarily so when we're talkin' bout Vicks, eh?  Well, it ain't my business.  Hey, you want slimy Brooksie on your vag, Vicks, then have at it, hun.  But I'd just as soon not know the deets please.

 

Vicks (like Moaner) is still entertaining to watch.  Lizzie & her family, on the other hand?  Cue Vicks' snoring.  Anyone else notice how everyone in Lizzie's family looks so different than each other?  OK, so we got to the very last ep & Lizzie still bores me silly.  And Christian is still a nice enough guy, but I'm bored stiff by him too.  Producers, are ya really gonna bring this boring broad back?  Really?  Vicks will be doin' a shitload of snoring.

Yeah I thought the idea was that the host needs help painting so she invites you over, has clear instructions on what rooms to paint, what you should wear, etc. and thrn rewards you with a nice meal and drinks. Tamra had them cooking their own food and talking and standing around confused. I wouldn't have wanted to participate either.

Thirty years ago an acquaintance invited me to her paint my new condo party. She offered homemade chili, brownies and beer. Lots of people showed up and surprisingly did a great job. We were TWENTY (ish) and there was beer... Otherwise this was as contrived as RHBH Yolanda's tile paintings.

Reminds me of an old Cheers where Norm was invited to a painting party at Cliff's, where, as he said, he painted while Cliff and his Mom argued about who forgot to get the pizza and beer.

[ScoobieDoobs]

Painter boy made me sit up.  Me likey.  Thank you for the eye candy, producers.  Much appreciated.  I even liked Vicks' reaction.  She looked like she havin' a hot flash.

It may be tacky, but if Heather brought that guy over to my house, that would be a sure invitation to her (and, I CANNOT stand Heather!!!)....Painter Sean was HOT!!!

I think there's potential there. Not in what she wants us to see but what's actually happening. I was trying to determine if her brother was gay. There seemed to be an extra brother in law there. Her sister's husband is cute. Her Father was nothing like I expected. In fact he sort of resembled Christian with his messy hair and rambling.

 

Lizzie's barely able to contain her inner Fabulous Princess Special Snowflake Drama Queen self. Give her time and Vicks will be up and wide awake.

From your first paragraph: I don't know about that because I think Brooks may be a pretty good deal. He's added to Vicki's storyline for the last few years and she has known him from before he was on Housewife radar so her love tank has been being filled for a loooong time. He's probably only cost her some teeth and a couple of outfits, a few vacations and trips, the use of her car now and again, she's probably kicked in for some moving expenses here and there and a few higher end events. Frankly Brooks is may be kinda a deal in the kept guy market. ;^p

[ScoobieDoobs]

Oh I agree.  Brooksie certainly ain't boring.  I feel like I gotta take a shower every time I watch him tho.  The slime keeps oozing outta my TV every time he's on camera.  It's really messin' up my hardwood floors.

I actually thought Lizzie's family dinner scene reminded me of how the show used to be... A peek into the lives of housewives.  Had she been a cast member in season 1 through 5, that scene would have been included in the regular season.. not the lost footage scene.

 

Shannon and Vicki were trying to find treasure in Bali hence the tipped over Kayoke BAHAHA.  Too much Brooks and not enough funny Vicki material.. though her trying to figure out how to sit in the restaurant in Bali was priceless.

 

I guess I'll be putting crystals on my grocery list :)  Bless Shannon and her serious dedication to all things holistic.  She seems geniune while Heather and Terry... no words.

 

Tamra/Eddie having dinner with Danielle/Joe... a double date?  Guess Baby Astro killed the mood.  I have a feeling there was some swinging going on with that foursome.  Just a vibe I got.

[Maire]

Heather and Terry gross me out more than Brooks...and that is really saying something.

I rolled my eyes at the notes with tasks that Christian had to do for Lizzie's father. Though from what Lizzie says Christian loves the farm. So who knows, maybe he enjoyed it. I just thought it was tacky that his potential father-in-law basically gave him a treasure hunt of chores.

 

I was hoping Andy would ask Lizzie about her son wearing a diaper still after they showed that clip, but it did not happen.

 

Oh smarmy Brooks, the sleaze just oozes off him.

 

Someday I hope to learn the mystery about Danielle.

OK, I have now made my series of claps a little louder, but not too loud, because I don't want Heather to think I'm gauche.

[ScoobieDoobs]

Did Heather enjoy the painter?  I didn't see any reaction from her at all whatsoever to him.  Man, what a cold fish she is.

 

Sheesh, guess I don't get around much, but Shannon Storm doesn't sound like a porn or stripper name to me.  Sounds much more like a soap character's name -- or maybe someone in comic books.

Right after I found out Shannon's maiden name was Storms, I was reading some old recap that said "Shannon Storms Out!"  And I thought that was some breaking news about her not coming back next season.  Doh!

Did I somehow miss the secrets that were supposed to be revealed tonight? Did I miss the Shag, Marry, Kill big reveal?

[meeeeech]

Heh, Shannon Storms. Agreed that it doesn't sound that stripper-esque, at least to me. It sort of sounds like a name in one of those popular young adult book series like Sweet Valley High or something. Tamra is so one note, she really only has the shock/crass factor as humor so of course she brings up porn.

 

For whatever reason I love seeing Heather react to Vicki's snoring. She's so taken aback and offended. I think it might be the only genuine, non-scripted emotion she lets herself have when the cameras are rolling.

[ScoobieDoobs]

Well, the biggest secret wasn't revealed.  What happened to Danielle?  Satan Andy will never tell.  Is she trapped in Jeannie's bottle?

Ugh, was anything more unsexy than Madame's & Miss Terry's anniversary date?  I think my freezer is warmer than this puppet woman.  And Miss Terry tearing up over pics of the old place?  I still don't get their thinking.  Spend years building a giganto joint.  Live in it a few years & then go on to build an even bigger one.  These 2 are fuckin' nuts.

Awesome.  She could predict rain even when the sun shines but I'd still listen.

[LotusFlower]

God help me for sorta defending Tamra, but here goes -- Andy brings Brooks out, asks Vicki the status of their relationship, and Vicki says that they're dating but she's single, and then, with Brooks sitting right next to her, she says that she's open to seeing other people, and if they "surpass his character," then they're "in the running." These are exact quotes! So....how is that so different from Tamra saying that she thinks there's "someone better" for Vicki?

[Scrambled Fog]

@mbaywife123

Lol!

If Tamra must have a title, I like Peanut of the Century better!
