Sweet-tea July 14 Share July 14 (edited) On 7/11/2024 at 8:28 PM, ZettaK said: Shannon dissolved her fillers, and she is on Ozempic, so she is slimmer. She had some treatments/plastic surgery too. Her hair length is OK (not too long- the bad extensions are gone), but it's too light in some scenes (from the season promos). Unfortunately, Gina has long, platinum hair again from the attractive, shorter bob. Emily's face is offerfilled. Heather has long, very dark hair which is aging. All of them have very long hair. It doesn’t look like Shannon’s lip fillers were dissolved to me, especially her upper lip. I was distracted by it. I noticed it the most in the ending scene with Alexis. She does look thin, as do all of them. She also looks like she had another facelift. I don’t understand the house Terry and Heather’s house situation. They spent so much time and money a few seasons ago building their McMansion, only to sell it not long after. And now they are renovating another huge house. What is it with these housewives constantly moving? Is no house good enough? Shannon is in denial. The two drink thing is infamous in AA. “Yes officer, I just had two drinks.” I’m not sure I understand why Gina and the boyfriend are separating. What exactly is his ex-wife doing that is causing her angst? Edited July 14 by Sweet-tea 4 Link to comment

I think Alexis is prettier, although I didn’t like her hairstyle this episode. I prefer some waves in her hair to the stick straight look. Quote I think that Alexis was shocked that Shannon cared more about the money than the man. She wanted to fight over Johnny J (gross) and Shannon just did not care about that. I don’t think it was just about the money. I believe Shannon cares very much that John is with Alexis and is mighty ticked off about it. Edited July 14 by Sweet-tea 2 1 Link to comment

JMO July 14 Share July 14 I started watching RHOC from its debut, out of curiosity about how other people live their lives. Back at the beginning, it was actually about that---just every day life, but different from mine. Now it's about an obsession with wealth and appearances that I find completely unrelatable and far less interesting, replete with contrived, usually mean-spirited, storylines and far too much reimbursement for these women to come to their senses and walk away. Having gotten that off my chest, I do still see some redeeming qualities in most of these women. Most. A side note---not all sentencing is intended as punishment. Community service is actually intended as an attempt at restoration and rehabilitation, in the form of giving back something to the community that was harmed, and/or finding self-worth in serving others. Shannon can do the latter with her church. 6 1 Link to comment

ZettaK July 15 Share July 15 (edited) 16 hours ago, Wicked said: Didn't Alexis and Jim rent though? I feel like this was something that annoyed Heather along with Alexis wearing fake diamonds Jim and Alexis owned (well, owned is relative because they were in foreclosure) a house at an exclusive, gated community in Newport Beach where Nicholas Cage owned a house when they joined the show. They were supposedly renting that house out which was on the name of an LLC company until it sold on a short sale. It was at the time of the financial crisis and the real estate market collapse. They were renting a house in Newport Coast, in the same community Heather and Shannon lived when they were filming their first season. They later rented in Dana Point (east of Newport Beach and Laguna Beach) when Heather was making her comments. They eventually had more money/better credit rating to buy a house in San Juan Capistrano, and one in Dana Point (a month before Jim filed for divorce). He kept the latter house.

EtheltoTillie July 15 Share July 15 Where was Heather filming that party? Do they still have a house in the OC in addition to the Los Angeles homes? I think this is shaping up to be one of the best seasons of OC in years. I recommend watching Shannon on WWHL from the same night. She’s so peeved about Alexis, but Andy gleefully said he’s so happy to have her back. He only cares about TV gold. Shannon looked peeved. Then co-guest Kate Upton said she couldn’t understand by anyone would date John, then she realized she was putting her foot in her mouth with Shannon so she tried to cover up.

lasu July 15 Share July 15 4 hours ago, Natalie68 said: She is giving back to her church, not the community Her church would have already had to be approved for someone to do community service. When I got a DUI nearly 30 years ago, I did my community service at the Alzheimers Association, and I can assure you, it was far cushier than anything Shannon is doing. The women who worked there were so freakin' kind to me. They literally baked me cookies and mini quiches, and moved a TV into the room I was working in so I could watch soap operas while I stuffed envelopes. Yes, they knew why I was there, and they did scold me for it, but I would be a liar if I said anything about those 40 hours was a "punishment." However, that time and their kindness humbled me and did more to put me on the right track than any of the fines I had to pay or the pointless alcohol classes that were far more of a punishment. Sometimes reform is a far better goal for society as a whole than retribution ever will be. 9 3 2 7 Link to comment

RealHousewife July 16 Share July 16 I listened to Two Ts (don’t judge!), and they asked Alexis and Alexia what’s worse, lying about cancer or getting a DUI. Both answered lying about cancer. What Brooks did was outrageous. I don’t know anyone who lies about cancer, but I’ve known good people who’ve driven drunk. So while I see their side (especially given my family history with the c word), the sick cancer scheme didn’t and wouldn’t have killed anyone. Shannon easily could have. I don’t like to see a pile-on and don’t believe in kicking a friend when they’re down, but I really hate how casual and dismissive people can be of DUI. Heck, some people almost think it’s weirder that some of us don’t drink at all. Our culture is weird. 7 2 Link to comment

Feline Goddess July 16 Share July 16 (edited) My honorary daughter had to do community service and she volunteered with an animal rescue group. Basically she played with puppies at the adoption event. Not every assignment is equivalent to working on a chain gang. Shannon said she enjoyed volunteering at the church's thrift store and has continued to do it after her probation requirement was completed. So points for that - because she could've had the attitude, 'see ya, I'm done & outta here'. Like most people. Why does Alexis think anyone would be jealous of her being with John Jansen? They've all met him. LOL Same with Shannon's other sloppy seconds, David Beador. Shannon is better off without either of those losers. Edited July 16 by Feline Goddess 15 Link to comment

bravofan27 July 17 Share July 17 I think it's fun to see the kids on the show when it's just them being kids. But when they try to use the show to make their kids famous or have exposure, that's icky. It's not dance moms. Like Emily trying to make Annabelle happen. But it's kind of hard to bond with the housewives if you don't see them interact with their kids. When Tamra and Simon were together, their kids weren't really on that much, and Simon really did most of the work with the kids. I think I saw Tamra take the kids to visit Simon at his work once, but it's mostly been her with Ryan. In any case, I don't think Tamra's issues with Simon are about the kids being on camera. I think it's more about him wanting to control her and the kids. 6 Link to comment

Shannon got falling down sloppy drunk at the reception in front her children. She go up the next morning acting like nothing was wrong. I will say that John was very kind to her and made sure that she was Ok. He went above and beyond what a lot of men would have put up with. I do not think that Shannon has accepted that she has an alcohol problem but it seems obvious to me that she does. THAT episode alone should have been her wakeup call. I think Johnny J got tired of being her minder. 3 Link to comment

But when they try to use the show to make their kids famous or have exposure, that's icky. It's not dance moms. Like Emily trying to make Annabelle happen. But it's kind of hard to bond with the housewives if you don't see them interact with their kids. When Tamra and Simon were together, their kids weren't really on that much, and Simon really did most of the work with the kids. I think I saw Tamra take the kids to visit Simon at his work once, but it's mostly been her with Ryan. In any case, I don't think Tamra's issues with Simon are about the kids being on camera. I think it's more about him wanting to control her and the kids. I agree that Simon's issues are about control, like always. Do you remember he said he didn't want Tamra to travel alone when the first HW group trip was arranged? It was a GROUP trip. It seems she never did before. And there were so MANY other examples. The smaller kids were shown a lot when Simon was on, but since they were so young they didn't have storylines. It seems that unlike other OC HW kids the three younger ones are doing fine. 2 Link to comment
Keywestclubkid July 17 Share July 17 (edited) Ugh remember the Oc angels? Those kids were obnoxious I think in passing the kids are fine getting them on camera for a purpose no this show isn’t about them like that .. Edited July 17 by Keywestclubkid 3 Link to comment
65mickey July 17 Share July 17 Yeah I remember that 2 of them got in a knock down hair pulling fight during a makeup session for a photo shoot. I also remember Lou Knickerbocker back in the dressing room when the girls were trying on bikinis and his comments and leering were gross. 4 Link to comment
