S18.E18: Reunion, Part 1

[ZettaK]

A group of well-off women, living privileged (or almost privileged) lives in Orange County, California...

Scrap that. Fighting, more fighting, and then more fighting. 

First aired on 11/7/2024.

[Salacious Kitty]

Tonight we get Shannon v. Tamrat, Heather v. Katie, and Emily/Gina also v. Katie. 

[ZettaK]

Shannon's face is overfilled, Emily's face is really overfilled, Tamra's face is still swollen from the face lift (this was filmed at least a month ago). 

Shannon went to an outpatient facility according to court documents, and her deal with the DA's office.

[Pi237]

It must be killing Tamra to act so calm for so long. That screech is just Dying to get out. 

[Mr. Miner]

My turn to speak! Nobody gives a shit fake AF Heather.

[Pi237]

Heather came to play! For real tho, dumbest argument on this show.  Seems they all think Katie is a shady mcgrady 

[Mr. Miner]

Heather is such a Karen.

[65mickey]

Emily the attorney is overplaying her hand. She is coming across as a nasty bitch.

[ZettaK]

Finally somebody can "explain" to Jenn what immunity means and what Ryan did, although she claims she doesn't understand, but it was on national news (LA Time, ESPN, and more). The money from Ohtani's interpreter went to Ryan's bank account. He knew about it, it was a large amount, and him and his friend gambled with it. Also, allegedly getting help from your in-laws like Emily doesn't equal Ryan's legal issues.

[Emmeline]

If I had to go through life wearing several pairs of spanks I would be cranky constantly.  Shannon is thinner again but still carries a little weight on her abdomen.  

Heather’s nastiness has resulted in a resting b**ch face.

[Pi237]

Jenn seems to be well coached on how to derail the Ryan conversation. No, he’s not being charged,  but that doesn’t mean his hands are clean. She’s really splitting the hair, there. 
 

And Katie’s story vs the police report-wow. Why would the police say she followed him home if she didn’t?  
 

Tamra is so happy those two have the bigger pile of dirt at this reunion. 

[65mickey]

I think spanx takes away the natural upper body shape and gives a woman a barrel shape. That's why Shannon looks larger through the middle.

That's why I don't think Jenn is harmless, not intelligent, or naive. She did the same during the season. The second the FBI's investigation on Ryan and his business partner and friend was mentioned, she "found" her voice on the show by deflecting regarding Tamra's non investigation on Ryan, etc. Jenn was well coached during the season, her appearances on WWHL, interviews, social media.

She has been desperately trying to hold on to her Orange.  She is quick to jump on everyone's else business - because she has nothing else going on.  

Emily, Tamra, Heather are easily the LEAST viewer favorites.

Yeah I don't see the two as equivalent either. 

[hottesthw]

Jenn may have been acting all season to cover for Ryan, but tonight convinced me that she really is just that stupid. She has no idea what immunity means other than what Ryan has told her it means. Which technically isn’t wrong, it’s just not 100% factual. She’s dim. 
 

Heather, just shut up. Katie came on the show with some dumb ass story line just like everyone else did. Just shut up already: and why is Gina always outing people’s personal home/finance business on tv? I would never trust her as my realtor. 

Emily has turned into just a straight up asshole. Who clearly doesn’t have a mirror in her dressing room. Who TF styled her?

[dancingdreamer]

I really  liked Emily at one, but she was in everyone's business  tonight, I was literally  telling  her to stfu!  Also, her eyes look puffy and heavy.

Heather looked like cruella deville sitting  there tonight, lecturing  the newbie like a good OG. I think  Katie handled  herself  well, I hope she returns next season. 

Shannon  looked good, she had too much filler, and it hasn't  settled  down, it looked very new. Tamra went through  all that crusty business,  she didn't  look younger or anything,  what was it supposed  to do. I did like her dress though.

I go back and forth with Gina, I wanted her off the show at one time,  but she's  okay, better  than Emily.

I like Jenn, I think  she knows more than she lets on, if not, I still like her. I feel she has a good heart. 

[65mickey]

Emily talks over everyone and jumps in and answers questions that Andy addressed to other housewives before they have a chance. I wish that someone would say to her Emily you will have your turn let others speak now or else get up and take over Andy's seat because that's want you really want to do. I used to like Emily but the last 2 seasons she has been a big turn off for me.

[lasu]

OK, so I think I understood Ryan's scandal for the first time: Matt has an illegal bookie business.  Interpreter got into HEAVY debt to Matt.  Interpreter stole money from Baseball Player to pay Matt.  The money was put into Ryan's account, and Ryan & Matt gambled with it.  That's the crux, right?

It definitely seems that Ryan totally knew about Matt's business being illegal, and therefore, knew the money coming into his account was illegal.  It seems like Ryan (and probably Jenn) knew that they were getting some largesse due to his best friend's illegal bookie business, but honestly, I can see someone not thinking an illegal bookie business isn't that big of a deal (probably aided by the fact it's kind of fun to say out loud.) I'm not saying it's not a big deal, but lots of people choose to be adjacent to illegal activities they feel they can hand wave away.

I actually can see what Jenn is saying makes sense: Ryan and his lawyer went to the feds and said, "oopsie I think I might have done some things wrong, or let my friend do something wrong, but hey! I'll give you my laptop, phone, and account information and you just let me go."  Is there any evidence that Ryan knew the money was being stolen from an innocent victim?  I totally believe he knew the money was illegal, but it's different if he knew it was being stolen.  Regardless, it mostly sounds like Ryan is an idiot, and I think Jenn probably already knew that.  It's also notable that immunity deal was already in place when Matt was at the party, so it doesn't sound like Ryan was some master rat betrayer who turned on his best friend to save his own ass.  I'm not saying this is the definitive version of what happened, it's just plausible to me.

I don't think Jenn was saying Ryan's situation was comparable to Emily's family paying her bills.  Emily has just said what she read online about Ryan wasn't the same, and Jenn said, "well I read online your in-laws pay your bills." it was more of a "you can't believe everything you read" type situation.

[Pi237]

I loved when Jenn said “I hear your in-laws fund your whole lifestyle” and Emily sat stunned, never denied it lol. I wouldn’t care except Emily was so nasty about Jenn not being able to afford things, and was constantly making fun of her for it. 

 

 

[Mindthinkr]

I started the reunion, didn’t enjoy what I was seeing and turned it off. Then I worried about what I might be missing, so I tuned back in. I lasted 10 minutes and then was out again. I might be over this show or at least this incarnation. 

Edited Friday at 05:50 PM by Mindthinkr

[politichick]

Emily really needed to shut the fuck up. She is not hosting. Nor is she a size 8 with all of that flab hanging out the top of her dress.

She's right about the immunity business, though. Why would the feds offer it to someone who is not in some way culpable? You get immunity to avoid prosecution in exchange for useful information.

I like Heather's dress.

Tamra kept her ugly rat trap shut for quite a bit.

I thought that was rich criticism (pun intended) from someone whose daddy just bailed her out for not paying her rent or car payments

I know, it was an analogy, but she kind of dissed herself in the process. 

[Palimelon]

I'd like to think that was Jenn trying to do a Nene from RHOA telling Sheree "You're not better than me bitch", but that would be giving Jenn too much credit.

[shirazplease]

Having dealt with law enforcement in my misspent youth and a bit beyond, I can say with a fair bit of certainty that what you relate to a law enforcement officer is not always exactly, and sometimes very far from, what ends up on the official police report.  I'm not saying that law enforcement is always deliberately deceptive, but unless there is a public transcript or video of the statements of the persons involved, I take any official statement made by law enforcement with a grain of salt.  By the time it makes it to the newspapers, it's something else entirely.  So as far as Emily implying that everything she read about the case is gospel, that's some bullshit.

[Keywestclubkid]

Im watching this now .... let me just say Shannon still doesn't admit to what really happened that night ( i was just sitting in the car revving the engine cut out the part she was drunk at a bar got in her car and drove to his damn house)

Edited Friday at 03:23 PM by Keywestclubkid

[ButterQueen]

I just started the reunion.  Seems like Tamra is afraid of losing her orange.  I hope she is axed.

[ButterQueen]

OMG, Emily shut up.

[Keywestclubkid]

Shannon telling Tamra to stop saying she calls her drunk.. "cause I don't do that" YOU MIGHT NOT TODAY but Shannon stop this playing semantics cause you do call people drunk .. lol girl

 

YOU do call people blitzed you have admitted and they also have admitted it on past seasons and reunions they literately just played Gina on a past season saying you call her blitz drunk .. this is why i don't believe a word of of Shannon's mouth about her and drinking .. you have a history here of doing this shit and are still lying Shannon

Edited Friday at 02:56 PM by Keywestclubkid

[Keywestclubkid]

Damn they are draggging Katie lol 

[Keywestclubkid]

Emily sure shut the fuck up when "i read your in-laws fund your life" was brought out by Jen .. YESSSS mama if she wants to drag your business out lets drag hers ... Same with Heather and her i dont dig it was out on blogs .. well so was your fucking paparazzi thing do you NOT see the hypocrisy that you are defending what you did but its the same as what she did come on now

Edited Friday at 03:39 PM by Keywestclubkid

[Cosmocrush]

I think Tamra was medicated. 

When Tamra asked Shannon if she thought their entire "friendship" has been toxic and Shannon said, "Yes" Tamra was a little surprised. I was kind of proud of Shannon for that.

I do get this and have thought picking on Jenn for everything was mean, and that goes for all the women who did it. I didn't feel like it came from a genuine place of concern.

I thought this too. I have always worked and have no kids, but I find the shaming of women who are actual housewives on a Housewives show to be silly. They have traditionally been supported by their husbands and yes sometimes other family members. I see no issue with that whether it's Jenn or Emily. I only see a problem when someone living is off money that was made in an unethical way, which we've sadly seen on Bravo many times.

lol I have someone in my life who will pretend years and years and years of certain behavior is irrelevant because it hasn't happened the last few days. 

I hope Shannon has truly gotten help and is okay.

OMG, I couldn't stand Emily constantly telling everyone what they did, what others did, and why. Just correcting everyone, creating narratives, and blah blah blah. She was literally so annoying I could barely stand it. If the next part is just Emily proselytizing I won't watch it.

LOVED at the end when Jenn said, "Your inlaws finance your entire lifestyle." YES! She's so high and mighty yet she's the biggest mooch and fakest "rich" person on there. She flinched, but then continued to go off on Ryan. God, she sucks.

[Cosmocrush]

Did you guys know Emily is an attorney?  *snort*

The stuff Heather decides to get all outraged over is ridiculous.  She may have big money but a very small life. 

[J80134]

Jen is beautiful, kind and naive for a woman her age. She wants to believe Ryan is innocent so she mimics what he says to gaslight her. Deep down she knows he's shady af.

Yes, Katie, something as silly as Heather summoning paps will get your juicy past dug up and discussed.

The old pics of Tamrat and Shannon showed us how drastically thier faces have changed. Eddie be like 🎶 you've got the eyes of a stranger 🎶

I think everyone, including women, should be ABLE to support themselves.  That doesn't mean they can't be supported by their husbands or family but life can be twisty.  Married women can  earn half of the marital assets if there is a divorce as well.  Jenn however, doesn't seem to have the ability or skill to ever support herself, much less her kids.  She also seems to have come out on the short end of her divorce.

True, and say what you want about Emily, she can and she has supported herself. I’m not sure what Jenn will do without Ryan other than get help from her parents.

I've noticed that too. She seems really lonely. 

Jenn is fine. Katie is fine. Dredging up a story from 10 years ago, and then Emily demanding to know why Katie lost legal and physical custody of her kids way back, implying she did something really wrong, was such an asshole move and so unfair. I liked that Heather came up to Katie on the break and told her she would have never brought that up.

I guess since Tamra has to stay silent this reunion, she has coached Emily and everything she wants brought up. Very typical of her. And Emily, the attorney, is too stupid to realize it. She really believes that she is the "voice of reason" on the show. Then again, she also believes she is a size 6. 

The fact Emily lives off her in-laws, or family money, isn't that noteworthy in and of itself, it's that she she touts herself as so financially savvy and secure, where it's not even her husband's money. She has to stay with that stupid dweeb because there is nothing to get in the case of a divorce. She'd end up living with Shane's parents. She has to be so miserable with that miser day and night. He's so mean to her, she's like a big joke to him. 

[Palimelon]

If Emily and Shane ever got divorced, she'd probably sue him for custody of his parents.

She could get a job and support herself, but not the lifestyle she currently is living. So I disagree that Emily can support herself. Not in California being a real estate attorney. That's an admin job and just paper pushing.

I can't stand her fake ass.

That's the most awesome thing I've read on this forum in my life. 

[tvfanatic13]

I felt so bad for Katie, particularly about her children. Did we know that she was living in her car at one point (or however she described it)? 

And, yes, I agree with the poster who said that Tamra seemed sedated.

Emily's face looked horrible.  In her wedding picture, I wondered who Shane's bride was. It is like a giant square skillet face with eyes the size of dots.  Shannon has fucked her face. Too much filler, looks like a boozehound.  Her wiglet also looked effed.  And really, you might shit your spanx?  Her entitled bullshit is so fucking old.

Tamra def was sober but maybe took a xanax.  

Is that outpatient facility Quiet Woman?

Naw, not at all. It was just an amazing out of nowhere dig and I loved it. You notice that Emily didn't comment AT ALL. Anyone could have piped in-- "but that's not relevant to this with Ryan" but no one did. It was just truly magnificent.

All the gossip site "investigations" and "reading everything online" including decade old stories made this reunion almost unwatchable. 

Tamra must be cozy in the gutter with so much company. 

I thought Katie handled herself  very well. 

 

 

[Chatty Cake]

I’ve come to really dislike the reunions. Not sure why I still watch them.
Emily has been way too into Jenns finances and now Ryan’s doings. I love that Jenn called her out about the in laws supporting her.  

[bravofan27]

Emily is so full of it. In her "clap back" on BravoTV.com, she basically confirms Shane's parents are rich as sin, and that if they funded her lifestyle she would be living way larger.

Dodo bird. They fund YOUR lifestyle. You just admitted that they certainly can afford to. Plus, you admitted on WWHL that they fund you.

To me, it's kind of sad that two grown people with children need to have financially support from their parents. And what loser marries a guy that can't afford his own lifestyle without silver spoons. She's such a kook. 

[65mickey]

Both Shane and Emily are attorneys. I know that Emily does not practice any more but have they said if Shane is also "retired?"
