S10.E10: Girl Code

[Tara Ariano]

Vicki and Shannon bond over details of an affair while also nursing hangovers. Meanwhile, the other ladies get in deep water while on an excursion. Later, Tamra sparks controversy over girl code, and Meghan surprises the ladies at dinner.

[Snarky McSnarky]

Does this mean Vicki is going to tell Shannon all about her affair with Brooks while she was still married to Donn?  Or is she going to tell her all about her affair with Donn while she was still married to the father of her children?

[AnnaMayWong]

Yes. Remember when she was tearfully spouting about God+marriage+vows following her break-up with Donn and the whispers of him already dating. She does appear to shellac over her affairS. She has more in common with David than she does with Shannon.

I can't believe Bravo brought the "girl code" from NY over to the OC.

[Bronzedog]

The only thing worst than women this age spouting out the phrase "girl code" is when they refer to grown men as boys. God, I hate that.

And endlessly refer to themselves as 'girls' as they approach and pass 50. 'Hate that--demeaning, belittling and silly.

 

Girl Code? Are we back in fucking junior high?

[JAYJAY1979]

There is a bro code, so not surprised there is a girl code.

This might be the first time I didn't yell at Meghan to shut up! This preview was rather dull, but I am happy to not have to hear the same recycled arguments.

[LotusFlower]

Not me. I'm afraid I almost gasped at Meghan's bitchy comment about Jim's second wife. Something like: "let's just say she's a very unhappy person". I wonder if her alleged unhappiness has anything to do with her husband dumping her for wife #3 - that would be you, Meghan. Ya think?

Meghan's narcissism and stupidity and lack of self-awareness are right up there in Housewifeland.

You're right, I totally forgot about that part!

[lunastartron]

There's no evidence that Jim dumped Allison for Meghan or was even acquainted with the Housewife formerly known as Miss King before his second marriage went south. I do think it's inappropriate for Meghan to editorialize on Allison's personality, however, since Mrs. Edmonds #2 isn't participating in the season directly and thus can't defend herself. Meghan could have simply stated that her relationship with Allison isn't a friendly one. The entire premise that Heather is "good friends" with Allison is suggestive of overstatement; Allison has resided full-time in St. Louis for several years and, per Terry, the last time Jim had encountered the children of his close pals the Dubrows was when Coco was an infant.

[Lizzing]

I know this is an UO, but I really am interested in Shannon spilling the deets on David's affair.  That she befriended her....well, I want to know more.

 

Commence the shunning!

The premise that Heather is good friends with Allison came directly from Heather's mouth in her talking heads. If it is exaggerated in our discussions it is due to Heathers comments back on show 1 or 2 this season. Heather does like to talk everything up.

Well, outside of the TH remark, M did refuse to go there.

Tamra never disappoints. Such a noise about the scuba. Grow a little, you mentally challenged weeble! Nice to see that the hangover doesn't impede your ability to apply the elaborate eye make up! Still, if drinking is the only activity that appeals to you, why travel?

[Ubiquitous]

I did find it amusing they could not grasp how their sponge-diver helmets worked.

[BucFan]

All of these women are idiots. I'm tired of people saying that Heather is smart. She's just a normal-sized fish in a minuscule pond.

Ding-Ding-Ding

We have a winner!

I don't know the timeline but what made me gasp was that she has this bad relationship with this woman, says this about her yet turns around and wishes she was the mother to her children with tears in her eyes. Heffa what?!!? Now that is some next level fuckery. Leann Rimes must be her spirit animal.

 

Maybe that is why she isn't too happy Meghan.

Wait, I thought Meghan wanted to replace LuAnn as bioMom, not Allison.

I got the impression that she was talking about all her stepkids. She mentioned the ones in Louisville and how upset she was that she didn't get to see them as often. 

[Bronzedog]

Thank God we didn't have to go a week without more gagging and vomiting from Vicki. And, that was just the first look. Maybe she'll pee on someone's bed again before episode's end.

[bosawks]

Watching anyone not in their 20's order a "Fireball" is equal parts pathetic and hysterical.

I agree and it is awful.

[JAYJAY1979]

I'm all for having some drinks with friends and relaxing. However, at any age, it's horrible when one over does it.

I think that most of them have socialization issues that are alleviated with alcohol.

Can't stand Meghan either. It was very interesting when Shannon guessed Meghan had balls under her dress. Wonder if the other HWs may be thinking Meghan is looking a little different?

Tamra is going to meet with a "pasture" so she can get (baptized) "pasterized". What a moron!

Is Meghan auditioning for a crystal ball fortune teller?

What's with these ladies wearing high heels to the beach?

The Bible for dummies??!!! Good grief Tamrat.

[TexasGal]

You're right Tamra, it's so unfair that you can't leave the room for a minute TO TALK ABOUT PEOPLE IN THAT ROOM BEHIND THEIR BACKS, without someone talking about you behind your back. There is no justice.

Glad that you're enjoying The Bible for Dummies though. Hopefully it doesn't skip over all the "do unto others" bits.

Also, why were they all walking around everywhere with bottles of champagne?!

I wonder if Meghan will replace Camille Grammar as most loathed housewife in her first season?

 

Camille pulled off a comeback, mostly  because Kelsey was/is such an ass (gross understatement).  I don't think Meghan can pull off a comeback, and I hope she's not offered the opportunity.

[ihartcoffee]

Meghan is so annoying!

[Bronzedog]

I love how Shannon refers to people by their entire names.

[jennypenny]

Call me crazy, but if you go to another room to talk about someone, dint be surprised that someone is talking about you.

[mbaywife123]

These women can't relax and just have a fully fun time on vacations.

I wish Bravo would just cut out all of the pissing, moaning and fighting and realize that us viewers just want to have a fun time with them and not be brought down by all the negativity and bullshit nonsense.

[chlban]

Hmm.. an overall good episode with some heartfelt moments and some good old fashion pot stirring.  Wonder what the 2nd half of the season will bring.

Viicki said that she (and the rest of the cast) didn't see a connection between Meghan and Jimmy and Jeff Lewis agreed.

Jimmy has got a mistress is my guess.

What was wrong with vicky' s face on wwhl? Did she have more surgery?

[charming]

Like her or not, Vicki was absolutely correct about what she was saying about how they're raising Hailey. They're not doing that girl any favors by allowing her to coast and throwing money at her. 

[mbaywife123]

Meghan, Axl Rose is now stalking you to get back his headbands.

I haven't seen such disinterest in a spouse since the way David treated Shannon. Jim is no longer treating Meghan like a newlywed! The preview was shocking.

Her face makeup was a few shades too light and her chest seemed sun burned?

The scene with Vicki and Shannon on the beach, talking about THE AFFAIR?  The mistress became friends with Shannon say WHAT?  She's right - that is fucked up.  Wow.  And as soon as Shannon thanked Vicki for being a true friend, I turned to my husband and said, "Oh gawd, I wonder how long until we see one betray the other one".  Minutes later we learn it is apparently happening next week.

[Chicklet]

Please please someone with sense on this show (yea I know) make Vicky stop gagging.

And everything is taken out of "content". Sure ladies, sure.

[islandgal140]

So David's jumpoff befriended his wife and was pumping her for information about their marriage, meanwhile she is fucking Shannon's husband? Bitch really. That is some Melrose Place type shit. What a total mindfuck. No wonder Shannon is so fucked up over this. David has got a lot to answer for.

 

I really like Vicki and Shannon's relationship. A thought it might have taken a hit and Vicki would be feeling some kind of way when Shannon as a newbie won that most favorite HW award. Glad to see that didn't happen. 

 

Shut up Meg! How dumb are you to cozy up to a disloyal serpent like Tamra who thinks fidelity is just some kind of bank. Tamra is loyal to no one but Tamra. You gonna learn. You also need to learn that them headbands need to stay in the children's dance troupe costume sections.

 

I get that Shannon was peeved that Meg ran immediately to Tamra to dish the dirt, however, what I don't get is acting like you thought the shit would never get back to Tamra when your ass is surrounded by cameras? What the hell is wrong with saying 'yeah I said that shit and I meant that shit because Tamra is that shit!' Can't nobody put your ass on front street when you stand firm in your word. 

 

Vicki might as well have been at the pulpit at the First Ebenezer Church on a Sunday morning because I was giving her all kinds of Amens when she was saying that Hailey suffered from a severe lack of parenting, structure and supervision. That girl needs accountability. Not cars, prom suites at the beach and $100 a week allowance for what? Putting her own dishes in the dishwasher. I didn't really see anything conflicting with what she said, but that is just me.

 

There is just something so fucked up about Tamra's hairline. I don't know if it is all the botox, fillers or from actual surgery but it has such a surreal look to it sometimes that I find it mesmerizing. It is all at once crinkled, wrinkled and yet oddly smooth. It reminds me of Robocop without the helmet.

 

 

Imma need a gif of Jimmy Edmonds not giving a single fuck, eating chicken and licking his fingers and saying 'don't get your hopes up' in response to his wife tearfully wanting to spend less time apart.

[Ubiquitous]

Apparently, my initial impression of this ep was wrong.

Shut up, Meghan!

[missy jo]

When are the uber-black smoky eyes paired with nude lipstick finally going to go out of style with these women?!

From the preview...not exactly sure what their (Vicki & Shannon) fight was about. It seemed like it was about Brook's cancer or questions about it with the other ladies. On WWHL Jeff Lewis mentioned he is very good friends with Shannon and David and Vicki kinda said they would get back together.

Shannon I think said the mistress had befriended her and asked about her & David's marriage. It's coming up now after the commercial & see if I can hear what Shannon implied.
