I used to like Emily but after this reunion I can't stand her. Why does she get to jump in and answer questions that were not directed to her?  I wish Andy would tell her to shut up. 

She got on my nerves too. She was aggressive and obnoxious. She also looks the worst she's looked on any reunion IMO. I hope she saw the show and realized she needs to layoff the filler as it has jacked up her face. 

I don't like how Shannon is being portrayed as a victim. I get it that John was cold in taking up with Alexis, and Alexis is annoying. But it doesn't excuse Shannon's behavior the night of the DUI. The way they are all rallying around her and coddling her bothers me. Look back at all the seasons of the show. Shannon's behavior hasn't changed. She's been screwed up and histrionic since season 1.

Emily said that her dress was a medium and it was a little too big. Who is she kidding? It is so tight that she could barely walk.  

Yes. She was reaching.

What a letdown of Shannon and Tamra hugging it out.  Tamra was never a friend.  I call b.s. that she has changed.  She is only in therapy because she needs the BRAVO paycheck.

I saw Jenn giving it side eye. Don't blame her.

Emily has got to go next season. I'm fine with all of them, even Alexis, but Emily is just toxic, unkind, sloppy, and her actual life is mundane.

I'm wondering what makes her so angry. She is full of rage. Was it from hanging around Tamra? I don't remember her being this angry in the previous seasons.

I don’t see John and Alexis ever actually marrying.  She seems like she’d just say Yes to whatever he wanted, not much a challenge there. This is a man who stayed with Shannon Storms for years and years. A part of him must enjoy the chaos. Alexis is just really annoying. She has zero chill. That ‘yes, master’ stuff can only be fun for so long, right? 

What happened with the other guy she was engaged to, the one they showed on the clip? It seems like Alexis just wants to be married again.

Tamra made nice, because  on social  media  she took a lot of heat for being  so damned nasty, she might of thought she was out of a job. 

Hearing Tamra say she wasn't happy with how she acted this season, the first thing in my mind was, "What about all the other seasons you were a vile, nasty, horrible person? Were those ok?" Spend a day watching all those episodes, Tamra, like naked wasted. You have been awful from day one. So save me your fake contrition. And you needed therapy about 40 years ago! Why Shannon continues to fall for the serpent's lies is beyond me. I thought she was smarter than that.

Emily is a size 12 or 14, her dress was too tight giving her Michelien Tire rolls around her mid-section, if she would lean into her actual size she would look great but she is hung up on being smaller than she actually is.  What she should stop doing ASAP is fillers and lip plumping, when she was sitting there giving stink face to Alexis Emily looked like a head on Easter Island.

Shannon has a thing about giving up on toxic relationships, she cannot quit Tamra and I don't know why she feels like she deserves a toxic person in her life.

Alexis is protecting Johnny J, standing by his side, being there for her man, etc...I think it's funny how she thinks they will get married (and he told her that he will not live with her) and live happily ever after, what in JJ's past has led her to believe that she will really get married to this man? If a man tells you that they won't live full time with you after the wedding, you should rethink what happily ever after means to the other person.

Watching Heather walk in her reunion dress reminded me of Mrs. Higgins (the Carol Burnett character).

Yes, Shannon does play the victim and it is perplexing since she was in the wrong drinking and driving, (luckily she didn't kill anyone), she really expects the kid glove treatment by any and all of her castmates which shows us that she is never accepting that she effed up and Johnny J not running to her aid is called a consequence.

Which makes me wonder what Shannon's childhood was like that she keeps choosing to be around toxic people like David, Johnny J, Vicki and Tamra. Is she that desperate for friendship? What happened to all the charities she allegedly creates? Where are the people she socialized with before joining the show? I get not wanting to be alone, and to have someone to do stuff with and share your day with, but have some standards!

I've had the same thought. I've wondered if she is an Adult Child or problem some other type of abusive home. She has many of the traits.

I felt the same way. Why were they all summoned to the meeting so that Tamara and Heather could  say that John told them that Shannon hit him? I agree none of this is shocking, not the drunken rages, the fighting or Shannon storming out. They acted like they were going to drop a big bombshell. 

ITA.  Thought there was going to be something BIG to find out but no-o--o....  Just some bunch of horse shit.
