To whoever it is at BRAVO that thinks that listening to adults gossip about what their kids gossiped about, go to hell!

Heather whose new bestie is Tamra is hosting an etiquette class.

These women need etiquette lessons! And not only about dining.

Shannon traveled without an enema. What will Dr Moon think?

[FlyingEgret]

Tamra's segue makes absolutley no sense... I am sure Shannon had a colon emergency because she didn't want to face what she had done - allegedly - six months ago

Just an obvious way to get her gossip out to Emily

Edited October 25 by FlyingEgret

[Stats Queen]

Heather’s true colors have come through on this trip.

[65mickey]

Shannon and her bowels. This isn't the first time that she has had need of an emergency  enema. And didn't she develop some kind of home colonic thing? I have never known a grown woman crying and carrying on and needing 3 people attending to her because she is constipated. 

[Mr. Miner]

How dare Shannon admonish fake AF Heather. My hatred for Tamra grows with each episode.

[Pi237]

Tamra’s gonna Tamra.

Shannon....fiber is your friend. 

[Pi237]

How many times is Shannon going to need help pooping? I’d never make the whole crew wait for me because I needed a bowel movement. I’d say-go and I’ll text you when I’m done and meet up.  She’s exhausting 

[QQQQ]

Remember a few seasons ago when Heather threatened whichever HW brought up Miss Terry being sued for malpractice? Yet it's fine for her to gossip about  alleged legal issues of the other HW's significant others.

An over reliance on enemas can result in long-term constipation issues.

Edited October 25 by QQQQ

[ZettaK]

So, the ex husband of David Beador's new wife Lesley was involved in a lawsuit with Ryan Boyajian and his business partner.

Jenn protests too much. 

Shannon is all about investigations. She investigated Brooks, Vicki's ex boyfriend with Meghan King Edward's. I'm not complaining about it though.

[EtheltoTillie]

The producers are just pranking us now.  An etiquette class for this bunch?  First rule of Etiquette Club—you don’t talk about Enema Club. 
Tamra didn’t know the four Beatles. Come on. 

[snarts]

Whenever Tamrat is called out, she drops bombs in an attempt to distract & the focus off her. 

It worked with Heather because she's so fixated on Katie & eagerly gloms onto anything negative about her. Emily reacted as well because the story involved her kids.  But Gina absolutely saw right through that shit. She even looked directly at the cameraman like "can you believe this chick?" 👏 

Fancypants looked absolutely terrible that last day. So gaunt & wrinkly. That's what she gets for aligning with the devil. 

Speaking of...I spied Jenn's belly button! Tamrat was the one who needed a 2nd surgery to re-create her missing belly button  When she wields accusations, it's typically an admission. If she starts shrieking, it's a full confession.

Tamra thought she was dropping the mic. Problem for Tamra is, Gina knows full well that she and Shannon were in a horrible place last year. So it’s not really that much of a surprise. And Gina’s right, there was nothing the slightest bit altruistic or groundbreaking because it’s Tamra, not Shannon who has now put it out there in front of the cameras. I hated how Shannon treated Gina last year but this is more serious than bragging about saving Gina’s family from CPS or bringing up gossip about Travis’s dick size. What Tamra put out there in her revenge attempt is a big part of the reason Gina kicked Travis out of their home, and now Gina may have to do damage control anyways.

About time Tamra got told enough already with the screaming about alcoholism. It was nice that Shannon noticed and thanked Gina and Emily for defending her.

Bringing out the cake and singing happy birthday seconds after Shannon left felt really contrived. Surprised the producer wasn’t caught on an open mic saying “aaaand action!” 

Interesting how suddenly and out of the blue Tamra and Katie are totally over each other. Heather and Tamra have nobody but each other at this point. Well, except for Johnny J and Jesus Jugs.

Katie running  out to buy an enema  kit for Shannon.  Why didn't  she just give her a poop pill, that she gave Emily, who had the same problem. I'm glad it's the finale next week, this is all getting  too mean,  and I hope Tamra,  miss dumb as a rock, isn't  invited  back. 

It was nice Shannon's  daughter's  came to visit  for her 60th plus  they saw Gina and Emily. 

I have no idea what Katie's child, or Emily's children  said about Heather,  and I don't  want to know, it's probably all true . Heather  sitting  outside  with Shannon,  Heather looked old with no fancy lighting  on her. 

Jenn you found your voice, if Ryan is a bad one, move on, and don't  go near the tamRAT. I like Jenn.

[Marley]

I can’t with this shit. Tamra is evil & Heather being up her ass is ridiculous.

Shannon may be a drunk but so is Tamra.

[Chatty Cake]

Tamra is just as much a drunk as Shannon. I remember Eddie wanting to cut her off when they were at Katie’s.

Heather take note,  if Rat is outing what her and Shannon discussed when they were friends, she will do it to you. I’d look forward to it but I’m hoping to never see the gross Tamrat again after this season. Fingers crossed.

That poor etiquette coach could have done a days long seminar with this group. Including a segment on discussing constipation and screaming in public.

[Slakkie]

What I appreciated was Gina and Emily now know the game and realize that Tamra is no victim (and honestly neither is Shannon she just is not stirring the pot).  Tamra thinking it was Shannon causing the rift with Jenn shows how completely enraged she is to the point she does not recognize her actions.

I find it laughable that Tamra chose to talk about what a 19 year old said to get Heather upset yet if you speak about their children (including the vile Ryan) it is off limits.  Heather must have spilled some dirt to Tamra for her to be sticking by her or I guess it's because the rest of them have no use for her.  She disappoints me.

I never thought I would type this but Emily Gina Jenn and Katie are the most interesting people.  And for any Brits I apologize on behalf of my country on the way many of these people acted - including Heather not knowing the British Royal Family.

I agree, Fancy looked bad in that scene.

Tamra can NEVER say anything nice regarding someone else looks without adding a snarky petty comment. She had to say that Jenn had a tummy tuck. She’s very insecure. Meanwhile I have seen social media posts calling out her sausage arms and facelift and I have to say, she deserves it!

[bosawks]

After this episode I am down to not hating, not liking, but not hating: Gina, Emily, and Jenn.

The rest can go kick rocks.

Tamra repeating the most hateful shit, Katie even talking about what kids told her kids to anyone at all, Heather only caring about the ruination of others when it affects her, Shannon investigating others to mitigate her own shittiness, Alexis for, well, Alexis.

Quite frankly eff all of them.

They need to work on developing a travel sized sit-a-lonic, 

[Baltimore Betty]

It takes about 3.5 seconds into a fight for Tamra to scream at Shannon that she is a liar and a drunk, it is positively Tourette like. 

On camera Heather says she would never share anything that Shannon tells her about the accident also on camera Heather shares what Shannon told her about the accident.

Shannon needs to add Metamucil to her diet especially when she travels, she can pour that powder into her vodka and soda and would never be able to taste it but it would do the trick and keep her regular, stomach cramps on vacay (or even at home) are no fun and way less invasive than an enema.

Gina's hair looks amazing, healthy, thick, fantastic color, finally she found a good hair person.

Katie brings nothing to the table except Shannon's enema, she may be a one and done.

Did anyone even mention Alexis' name this trip? Did her bestie Tamra even call her to check in with her?

Tourette's will be the next thing she's afflicted with.

ok, maybe I have too much time on my hands, and maybe I'm a glutton for punishment...But there's really no excuse for Shannon not being prepared

 The Sitolonic allows you to sit up while cleansing your colon. This advantageous position is not only a more natural eliminating position, it also saves you time by allowing you to simultaneously read, write, compute, or talk on the phone.  The Sitolonic is so compact and light, you can use it in an airplane lavatory.

She sees nothing wrong with trying to actually destroy someone else’s life with her evil grin/smirk while she’s doing it. If she’s not fired…..

[dmeets]

I realized that so much of the drama this trip could have been avoided if, rather than using Tamra and Taylor for investigative matters for the past several years, Shannon had gone to her former cast mate with demonstrable experience in undercover detective work:

Very sloppy, Shannon. I blame the booze.

[twilightzone]

Tamra Judge is a Has-Been. Predictable.  Boring.  Great housewives know when to pivot and be relevant.  With her, it's the same tired nonsense - getting trashy and aggressive and betraying and turning on someone.  BRAVO was right to have Fired her.  They were wrong to Drag her back and Force her on viewers.

Tamra is fully in Rinna territory.

Giving life to the rumors that are out there is one thing but creating rumors is nasty, her texting Shannon about finding out info on Ryan or David's new wife's ex-husband is really reaching and she is grasping at straws, this sort of thing could be her death knell.

Once again, how has the name Alexis not on anyone's lips on that trip?

Everyone was too busy fielding accusations of requesting private investigations, gossiping to and with their children about the other HWs,  pushing people down stairs,...there really wasn't time to think about her. The trip isn't over yet, Tamra still has time to bring her up

[Pondlass1]

Heather’s neck looked scraggy in natural light.  I don’t think her husband can fix it.  It’s best to carry a bit of weight as you age, I think.  
 

I was expecting them to be asked to keep the screaming and gesticulating down a bit in the restaurant.  Maybe they were told and I guess not filmed. I’m British.  I love Americans, they’re confident and friendly… but they can be loud.

  
 

 

[Mindthinkr]

Someone needs a bingo card or scoresheet as there is so much yapping behind backs and screaming that I sometimes tune out and lose the plot. Then again is there any plot other than drink, fight and repeat? 

[Cosmocrush]

I was really distracted during Tamra's last attack (she made many this week) by the stupid black bow on the back of her head.   We know she and Heather brought glam squads, or more likely just Heather and Tamra globbed on, so I can only think they hate Tamra.  Heh.  Not as much as I do though.

[snarts]

Tamrat actually told on herself at that dinner when she said that Ryan hurt her. You could see the wheels turning in Jenn's mind in reacting to that comment as well. How did he hurt her? Did he not flirt back or reject her advances? Is it because he actively pursued Jenn and not her?

Jealousy would explain a lot in how she's treated Jenn/why she has such a hardon for Ryan.

Agree, it was quite appropriate since she looked (and acted) like a flipping toddler.

As someone who is prone to travelers constipation, I can sympathize. You try all the standard cures & it doesn't always work. My gastro explained it's due to the cabin pressurization. Apple juice, yogurt, almonds are my go tos for any trip involving a 4+ hour flight. If that fails, I order bacon.

[Cosmocrush]

Anyone else noticed that Tamra seems to have traded her standard tequila shots for champagne now that she's hanging out with Heather.  What an odd couple.

[dosodog]

Little children rarely have filters and they often hear things adults don't realize. They also judge interactions they see.

I 100% believe they told Katie's daughter Heather is mean. Because she is mean!

They've probably also seen the Coraline movie.

If Shannon  has something  like IBS or diverticulitis,  a pill would be better.  I don't  think these housewives  look after themselves  on these trips.. Emily said she was feeling pretty bad before and after she took  the pill. It wasn't  the best trip for either of them.

This is what baffled me, too!  Did she actually let it slip that she was hurt that he rejected her advances? 

[SweetieDarling]

Heather denying she promised not to share the conversation with Shannon reminded me of another bad actress

 

[Pi237]

I believe the kids said Heather was mean, and I believe they heard it from Emily. Sorry, but she’s a big mouth, especially when she’s drinking. I totally believe she said that to Shane and the kids heard.  
 

what surprised me, and I guess it shouldn’t, is how rotten they all kind of are behind the scenes. Digging into each others marriages and finances, etc. maybe it’s just Shannon and Tamra doing that, but Heather seems like a gossiper, too.  Because of being on the show and having their lives produced, they have a very distorted view of reality. Real life heartaches and struggles are ‘storylines’ so, To them, anything is fair play. They say ‘leave the kids out of it’ a lot, but they don’t. They say, husbands shouldn’t get involved, then they involve their husbands. Another reason I could never be a Housewife (besides being too poor and old) is I couldn’t live that way-where everything you tell me ‘as a friend’ becomes a weapon in my hands to use against you. Then, when you’re hurt, I say- I love you and justify it as ‘giving you a storyline’. Pretty sick if you think about it. 

[dmeets]

Shannon and Tamra (as well as the third amiga who’s been blissfully absent lately) are toxic as hell. It’s no wonder they only have allies, not friends. As opposed to Gina/Emily and Jen/Katie which are legit friendships

I believe it too.  And Heather was mean to Emily. She even fake apologized.   But I also say, "So what?"  THIS is something Heather is going to get all butt hurt about?  What a life, when this dumb stuff is what stresses Heather out.  *eyeroll*

To be fair, y'all have had The Ladies of London and The Real Housewives of Cheshire ;)

Granted, not as bad, but still.

[Arynm]

Gina has had the blinders removed i.e. Tamra. She knew damn well that even if Shannon had hired someone to dig up some dirt on Gina, she never brought it on camera. That was all Tamra. Shannon had it ready to go for the reunion and has enough humanity to not speak on it.

There was a news article on Gina pushing Travis down the stairs while drunk so it's not like Shannon found this out by herself, it was out in the world and she still didn't bring it up. It is so outrageous I can't believe it's true.

Tamra fights like a junkyard dog, she has no soul and cares about no one and nothing which is why she can go so low.

I believe that everyone on this show has secrets and the others (minus Tamra) don't bring some things up on camera.

[Pi237]

And props to Gina, who rightfully could’ve dined out on Shannon’s drunken antics as karma for how Shannon criticized her after her DUI,  but instead, gave her some grace and told Tamra, enough already. I don’t consider that enabling Shannon either.  Gina could’ve gone low, but she didn’t. She can get on my nerves, but the way she’s handling Tamra and not shying away from calling her out makes me like her. See also: Jenn! Loving this new Jenn. Too bad she’ll soon be in tears over Ryan, and Tamra will act justified for her bullying behavior, excusing it as ‘caring’ about Jenn.  
 

I swear, if Tamra starts crying at the reunion and they all kiss her ass, I’ll lose it.

I was thinking that, at least for some of the housewives, maybe they were afraid of mentioning Alexis' name because it could be like saying "Beetlejuice" - if you say it three times, she will magically appear!  🤣 

Frankly, I don't miss her, at all. 

Could you imagine her and her constant talk about "Johnny J":  while looking at the Crown jewels - "Johnny J will buy me nicer jewelry than this old stuff".  While seeing the changing of the guard - "Johnny J and I should hire some of these guys to guard us so that Shannon doesn't bother us".  While visiting Buckingham Palace - "Johnny J's house is much more modern than this - he's remodeling it just for 'us'".  It would be interminable.

And Heather is also picking up on Tamra's vile, uncouth habits as well.  I don't remember Heather having such a potty mouth.
