Watched her 1st ep on her 1st season yesterday. You wouldn't know it was the same person just by looking at her.  Her entire face shape changed. Once she opened her mouth and her shrill/nagging voice came out you would be able to identify her.  Emily needs a stylist in the worse way.  And someone to tell her honestly what the facial work has done to her entire look (not good).

Why wouldn't the shop girl or whomever tell her she need to go a size up when she bought that dress.

For all of the work that Tamra has had done on her face, she's looking rough, rough, rough. Tons of lines under her eyes, wrinkles around her mouth that also is so tight it looks like she has difficulty opening it. Needs mile long lashes so we know she actually has eyes.

Katie and her "I don't have a cat," what a silly cow. I don't trust her at all. I don't think her daughter should be bashing the women on social media. It's just fucking rude. And Bandon's comments were a bad look. I did like her dress, though.

Speaking of which, Alexis looked ridiculous with the too tight dress accenting her bloated tummy and those matchstick legs. Still stupid as fuck.

Right?!  The excessive work that all of the ladies have has aged them a lot. 

Alexis is dressing like it is 2010.

[Chatty Cake]

I kind of like Emily. She did take her belittling of Jenn too far but at least she seems to feel bad about it and actually wants Jenn to get to a place where she can support herself. 
Jesus left Jesus Jugs years ago. I think that was a schtick of Jim Bellinos and she went along with it. She’s just Jugs now.  
Emily knows damn well her boys overheard her calling Heather mean. Katie’s kid did too. Heather is mean and an asshole. At least the kids didn’t repeat that. 
Normally, I don’t like kids like Katie’s daughter tik toking stuff but in this case  I think I agree.  Are they not fake ass bitches who suck dick?

Reddit is talking about this. Instead of saying an “old friend,” “historical friend” sounds so much more elite. Pretentious, and that act is wearing very thin.

Given what I’ve been reading here and on Reddit, this may be worth watching.

[bravofan27]

My mind is blown at the "children are third."

No, the kids are #1. God is pretty much in control of the universe. The spouse is a grown adult with autonomy. Children are dependent and vulnerable, They should be #1.

Weird that Alexis said this. I'm sure she does put her kids first, and she just uses talking points that someone wrote for her when she unfortunately speaks.

Historical friend is akin to "college friend" or "high school friend" but Heather doesn't have any of those. She's such a weirdo. It's just a made up term that Heather threw out there because she likes hearing herself say things.

I like Katie a lot, and I think it's because she hasn't been tainted yet by the women who are quick to troll others whenever a camera's on. Katie owns her stuff when confronted, IF there's a problem. Heather and Tamra are truly being mean girls.

I feel for Katie as my oldest son disagrees with a lot of my political, religious etc beliefs, and he says what he wants online, regardless of how angry (or sad) I get. He reminds me that he's an adult and has his own experiences and opinions.

I think these gals have to be scraping the bottom of the barrel if that's the worst they can pin against Katie. It's not like her daughter is 12. They're complaining because Katie's daughter had opinions about these ladies (who she's met on and off camera). They're clutching their pearls while Tamra's opinions impliy horrific scenarios. Give me a break.

YES!

I have always thought Alexis dressed as what a man would like to see her wearing in 2010, very outdated but then again so is her mindset. 

 

[StevieRocks]

Madame Puppet Dubrow's mask is slipping. She is getting to be as nasty as GrandMAW Tamrat. Loved her position on the sofa. Dang, Madame Puppet, you're almost as far down as the "friend of"!

[tranquilidade]

These women are always fighting about issues that they don't clearly state and so they all look ridiculous.  All their grudges are off camera, social media beefs. Heather is mad that Katie is on the show, she never wanted her there and snubbed her when they first met to get that point across.  What she didn't expect was Katie's brave combat--YAY Katie and I don't care what you did in the past it is irrelevant to me. 

Heather is mad that Kaite has her children on the show because Heather chose to keep them off the show now, after she used them early on.  She wants everyone to follow her rules.  Also, Katie can parent any way she wants, tell her children anything she likes and discuss who ever she wants to discuss and they don't have to like it.  Who made Heather the parenting police? 

Emily needs to just shut up. She talks way too much.  Sorry you feel like you are bigger than everyone else.  Who cares.  Your tiny husband adores you and that's all that should matter.

[tranquilidade]

Madame puppet is disgusting.  Her finger wagging in Katie's face was a perfect example of how she does believe they are all beneath her.   She gave it away with her display of condescending responses.  She wants the world to bow at her feet because she is convinced she is worth it.

Yes and when Alexis is your bestie......good grief.  We all know she is just using her.  What an operator, what a snake.

 

Oh and Alexis better be ready for John to sue her when he wants the ring back.

I couldn't figure out Emily's bitch face whenever Alexis was talking. Either Shannon commented on it to Gina or vice versa. Then I realized maybe she was still upset about she and Alexis both wearing the same outfit at the fashion show, and she was ticked about Alexis' short tight dress. Alexis does dress way too young for her age, apparently she goes for men who like that look.

I don't get the pearl clutching by the cast about Katie's daughter and her TikTok video. Her audience are her peers who have likely never watched an episode of the show, so who cares? Katie does come off badly though where her son is concerned. He was very comfortable spouting off about Heather on camera, and he came off as an obnoxious six year old. 

Regarding Heather's kids not being on the show these days, I really wonder if it is their choice rather than Heather's. Heather loves nothing more than playing Mother of the Year, and it is hard to do that when we only have her talking about what a fabulous mother she is.

Emily doesn’t have a storyline.  So she’s  the resident reunion lawyer expert I guess.  I hate to be mean but when you carry extra fat in your arms and shoulders, don’t wear a halter top.  Don’t these people have stylists?

Emily’s face also looked bad. The excessive filler has changed the proportions of her face to an unflattering degree. Her eyes look tiny, and the bottom half of her face looks too large. Meanwhile, Shannon’s upper face looks overfilled and unnatural. The clip they showed of Shannon’s interaction with Alexis during the season was startling. Shannon looked SO much better in the clip as her face wasn’t puffy and freakish.

When will these women realize that filler is not their friend? At least Heather, Jenn and Tamra seem to understand this.

Madame Puppet Dubrow should be fired. From fat-shaming, (with the too tight dress comment) to promoting pro-ana with "I don't eat solids" remark, she is clearly NOT an inclusive, tolerant person but a basic b, who is okay with the behaviors of GrandMAW TamRat and Alexis the former wife of Taliban Jim, as long as they're not a size 12. What a gross, vapid rube.

I didn't understand her I don't eat "solids" comment. Was she serious? She doesn't eat solid food? She has gotten meaner this season. I don't know if her camera-ready mask slipped or if it's Tamra's influence. I wish Emily hadn't so easily let her off the hook for the dress comment.

The sad thing is, Emily is prettier than Madame Puppet but doesn’t realize it. Puppet may be skinny but she looks bony, ugly and old.

Emily doesn't like Alexis. She has said that she is annoying, doesn't like her vibe, and Alexis doesn't seem very interested in Emily, and Emily might be a little annoyed as well that Alexis "the friend of" doesn't try harder to acknowledge Emily's relevance.

I get the impression Emily sees half the cast as bimbos. I think one reason she likes Gina is because she sees Gina as more independent and intelligent than women like Alexis or Jenn.

I forgot who, but someone upthread hit the nail on the head. She is on the Patsy Stone diet (yes, just liquids). Patsy Stone is a main character in the British series Absolutely Fabulous which is snarky and funny. That might be what her issue is. She’s hangry. I also think her coloring is off. Yes, I can relate to those who see the sun as their enemy as it does cause cancer and wrinkles. Yet she has an almost blueish or gray tint which doesn’t seem healthy. Even without a tan ladies can have rosy cheeks and a healthy glow.

I'm guessing that's a way of referring to someone you've been friends with for a long time instead of saying "old" friend.

I think that Heather denied saying "historical friend" - I believe she said "I don't even speak like that!" when this was brought up.

I can TOTALLY believe that Heather would say exactly those words - this sounds like something that would come out of her pretentious mouth.

I totally missed Heather saying that she doesn't eat solids.  When did this happen?  

And, I guess all that solid food we've seen her order during lunches, dinners, etc., just sits there on the plate and gets wasted?  

Lastly, maybe the fact that she doesn't eat "solids" is why she's so bitchy all the time.  To paraphrase Kim Richards (to Lisa Rinna) - "Eat a piece of bread and shut the fuck up!"

True! I used to enjoy Emily when she would comment honestly on any issues, but suddenly she's stirring the ugly pot because Heather and Tamra are noticing her? Her entire attitude towards Jenn has been very nasty, and I think that's disappointing because Jenn is not a threat to anyone.

I love Patsy! I'd rather compare anyone as her other than Heather. Maybe Gina in 10 years? If anything, Patsy was blindly loyal to her BFF, Eddy. Heather is loyal to... nevermind

Now I have to rexamine all HWs, to find our Patsy. (Some part of Luann...?)

Luann is definitely a Patsy. Definitely.

I think that’s why she’s become such a hateful creature. She’s slowly slipping down on the HW list. She is washed up as an actress and Bravo is her last gig. No wonder she’s nasty. Nothing is left if she loses that. 

When she first started, she was jokingly pretentious — able to go along with a joke. Now she’s just mean and pretentious, and I’m over her holier-than-thou act and her gaslighting. Just apologize when you screw up — not that hard. I still think there was malcious intent toward Emily at the fashion show, and she’s a good-enough actress bullshitter to convince people otherwise.

I'm not happy with Heather these days, but she was probably pissed when she made the dress comment because Emily was being unreasonable and hysterical. And, the dress was form fitting. Emily went on and on for a few weeks and I got tired of her whinging about being a size 8, which I don't actually believe, given the proportions of her upper body. 

I also think Heather was joking about not eating solids. We've seen her eating.

I know there have been comments on Heather looking older (some very unflattering). See, I think this is a GOOD thing!  She can move her face, emote, hasn't used so much filler that she looks like a different person. I want this excessive plastic surgery to die. It makes people look freakish.

Oh and Alexis, PLEASE stop dressing like you did last time you were on the show.  Have Daddy J pay for a stylist to handle all of that.

This is who Shannon is looking like to me.  Peggy "Fever" Lee.  Especially in her closeups.  And her hair weave looks very low budget.  

[65mickey]

Every time that Shannon does something else to her face it makes it worse. The look she has now with the tons of harsh makeup and stringy long weave ages her considerably.

Agree with you about Heather. She is outwardly still a pretty woman and looks way better than the women who have loads of filler.

She is about to be 56.  I am glad her head matches the rest of her.  We need more women who are willing to just be and age gracefully.  I know Heather does stuff to her face but it seems to be with a light hand.

YES!! Heather definitely referred to Tamra as a "historical friend" and we all can picture her saying this!

Re: the snappy "I don't eat solids..." comment, I rewatched it and I believe she was making a joke. Andy talked about breaking for lunch, and some ladies were asking what they were going to eat, and Heather's response was joking she'd only have a liquid lunch (booze).

Gosh, a popup ad has kicked me off Primetimer 3 times this morning.

Every time she'd say  "I just don't understand that..." after a Housewife's comment. Any of the housewives should simply respond, "I don't live my life, or my truth in the hopes, you will.understand. Just because its not your reality, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.*

[bravofan27]

Emily married a man who she worked with (Shane) who got divorced and was too lazy to date let alone actually build a romantic relationship with someone. He never asked her out, never complimented her, never courted her-- just sent an IM saying "Let's get married. Haha." 

To Emily, that's Shane's "humor." No Emily, that Shane saying he knows you don't expect anything and will put up with anything for money. That's Shane's way of telling you he thinks YOU are a bimbo.

Emily married someone that didn't love her, that she didn't love, but is convincing herself (or maybe others) that they today have an amazing relationship. Yeah, right. His parents have set him up for life. He really does nothing special for Emily that I have ever seen. Their date nights, when they have them, are painful-- he mocks her the whole time. Oh, but it's him being "funny." Probably because he has to spend his "own money." LOL. Ugh.
