S11.E07: Something's Fishy

[phoenix780]

I tuned out last season and tuned back in for this fight after watching the fight in costumes whenever that was, so I can't claim to be scandalized. I sought this out, and I was entertained by the awfulness. Probably one of my favorite fights on one of these shows. 

I believed Heather. At first it seemed fake, and as others have said I changed my mind when she mentioned not wanting to be associated with this. That I'll buy, but it doesn't seem like she's quit, so...must have just been a moment. 

Vicki is still terrible. The slap comment, absurd.

Kelly turns it on and off quite quickly. I'd never want to encounter her in real life, but I think she's great trash tv, though I will agree that she brings the show down to, like, VH1 levels. Actually she feels like someone I'd see on a commercial for The Bachelor, or on the old Flavor/Rock of Love shows. Just raw, desperate, volatile energy that pops when mixed with cameras and alcohol. I have to admit I enjoy watching that for a couple episodes (after that it gets repetitive and sad, it's harder to see it as just an interesting tv character). 

My favorite was Tamra, though. She's evolved into quite the savvy shit stirrer. Much smarter about it than before. It's interesting to see that, um, growth.

Kelly comes across as legit crazy/bad to me - not "wacky."  She is really distasteful. Not sure I can stomach another season if she's in it. Surely there are more interesting women in the OC.

And then insisting 20 times over that she's educated and a multi-millionaire. My 14 year old son (who happened to be in the room) said "Wait a minute. Did she just say notrocious? She's so dumb."  I told him I know and the worst part is she has way more money than we'll ever have. lol

What the hell was that bragging about being a rich collegiate all about?

1. Vicki saying that David scared her because " if I slapped him across the face he would do the same thing" made me want to slap HER in the face repeatedly. Women do not have the right to put their hands on men ( or anyone!), and if she did slap David and he slapped her back in self defense, well tough shit Vicki! Don't assault people.

2. Kelly needs to go from 0 to 50 not zero to 100. I don't blame for everyone being disgusted with her but Heathers freak out was weird- I think Heather is VERY aware that her career and success is too tied up in the show and probably has pressure from Terry to act a certain way

Expand  

1. Didn't Vicki say the same thing about Brooks, that he got physical with her? She seemed OK with that... What is her problem with David? She keeps going back to her haranguing him at the 1970's party and how he looked like a pedophile. She's been extra nasty this season, I noticed. Is the mask slipping?
2. I did get the impression that Heather realized staying at the restaurant with Kelly ranting and foaming at the mouth would not be good for her image.

Is that who the extra blond girl at the restaurant was? I had no idea who she was or why she was there with Tamra.

You would think having the event at a sushi restaurant Vicki wouldn't come because what is she going to eat? I seriously don't understand how she was confused by the concept of a seaweed salad. If Vicki and Kelly come back next year, I can see their alliance being split because Vicki is such a rube and Kelly likes to think she is worldly.

I was waiting for Vicki to start making gagging and choking and vomiting noises at the Japanese restaurant.

I think the problem with Kelly even more so than what she's saying is that she appears seriously unhinged.  I actually don't have a huge problem with cunt or dumb fuck, but you won't hear me yelling either at people in a restaurant because I'm not that insane. 

Expand  

Cosign. The words are crass, but I completely agree that it's likely her entire demeanor that makes people uncomfortable with her antics moreso than the actual words. 

I was thinking about Heather's limo meltdown a little more and I wondered if part of her upset might have been some resentment towards Terry. We know that he was the one pushing her into the show (to the point of forging her signature on the paperwork), and now he's off filming his own show and working all the time, enjoying his career, and Heather is stuck in a room with an unstable lunatic drunkenly calling people "cunt" and "dumb fuck", effectively putting the last nail into an already mediocre acting career. 

[Lizzing]

I had a really hard time taking Kelly seriously on the whole "my daughter's going to hear me being called a whore!" rant.  This from the chick who allowed her 9 year old be the butt of a tossed salad joke and forbade dance lessons, lest same child end up on the stripper pole.  Hell, Jolie probably has heard her mother called worse by the other 3 adults living in the house.  Actually, any HW can just drop the "don't say X because what if my children hear" argument.  I'm pretty sure the kids (for the most part) are already mortified just by their mothers' presences on the various shows. 

The whole ending to the fight seemed rather disjointed to me.  I'm going to have to rewatch it, because I didn't quite get why Heather left but Shannon stayed behind.  I thought Shannon would have taken off with Heather since they came together and Shannon was the target of the explosive insult.  Heather's crying was just too fake; I had a good laugh at that.  I don't doubt she was pissed, the the faux crying was OTT.

Vicki needs to actually watch this show; Terry tried the "David is scary" crap 2 seasons ago and it didn't work.   I will say that the editors are stepping up their game this season with flashbacks; that side by side of Shannon's and David's wild eyes expressions was priceless.

I'm no Sarah fan, and tend to think she must be as stupid as a box of hair for hooking up with 'Roid Ryan, but her look at the restaurant table after the fight exploded and she was left with Kelly, Vicki, and Meghan, was one of "I'm not getting paid enough for this level of crazy."  And I'd have to agree; I'd need a lot of cash to sit at that table.

I wondered why Shannon wasn't leaving with Heather since she was her ride as well, but Shannon left and it appeared that Heather had left without her, unless that was just creative editing.

 

Vicki's lunch visit with Kelly was odd, the part with Vicki being unable to exit the kitchen elevator and Kelly being oblivious to the wackiness that ensued seemed a tad fake to me.

[Ubiquitous]

Hokey smokes! Did you see that gawd awful wine bottle opener mounted to Kelly's kitchen counter?

And Meghan's womb being compared to an oven?

Oh yeah, we had a sighting of Heather's hired help this week when she told us about how very busy she is.

Kelly is reality gold. She wil get down and dirty. Kelly was clearly brought in to be the villian. Vicks and Tamara are villian-lite, they say shit but they they want to be loved by the audience and they have a history with the show and the audience. So they do bad shit and then try to redeem themselves. Coming on the show and immediately chewing all the furniture like Kelly has will not win her the audience or her castmates. Except for Vicks, who needs a buddy this season. Kelly also knows that RH franchises are about the fights, so she cam in with that as her objective, in order to make sure she becomes a regular. I also think that she has fallen for an old HW producer mechanism to create drama, the flowing booze at filming. I think she likes to drink, and she is one of those drunks who gets louder as they get drunker.

As much as I detest Kelly, if it wasn't for her, what the hell would be the storyline this season?? Meaghan's IVF? Snore. Tams bodybuilding? snore. Heather's mall house and "busy life"? Snore. Brianna moving to the OC? Snore. Shannon doesn't even have a storyline this season, other than visiting every alternative heath guru in the OC. 

[ghoulina]

Vicki is so pathetic to watch. "I need a husband". "It's so hard to start over at my age". Hmmmm, maybe you should have thought about that before you ended things with Donn. Then you wouldn't have to start over. Oh, and what's all her whining about wanting sex and travel. She never traveled with Donn! She was all about business trips and girls trips. That woman is so screwy. She treated her last husband like dirt, always putting him last. Then she beds down with sleazy con artist, Brooks - and it's all about him, him, him. To the point that she ruined several friendships. Get her a shrink, cause she got issues. 

Megan's "bloated belly" is going to end up being the 7th star of this show. Egads, enough already. I'm so ready for her to be pregnant and past this whole IVF thing, because she's driving me nuts. And her hormones are clearly out of control. One minute she's all, "Yea, it's cool. Vicki can come to the party". Then, "What??? Why would I want to see Vicki the day before I get pregnant? Waaaah, I'm just going to stay home!" Then, "Yea, I think she's coming, what's the big deal?" Crazy-making. 

I will say this, at least Shannon is consistent. People may think she's a bitch and she should let things go. I don't. She isn't running around trying to stir things up with Vicki. She just wants nothing to do with her. I don't blame her. Vicki truly abused that friendship and has proved she can't be trusted. If others want to let her weasel her way back in, fine. But I admire Shannon for sticking to her principles. 

Vicki getting stuck in the elevator at Kelly's was everything. Does the Dubrow mausoleum have an elevator? Or a blinged-out wine opener? Because it's about to! 

Vicki really needs to stop being so dramatic about the thing with David. He looked mad, but he didn't look threatening, to me. SHE was the one who walked toward HIM and got in HIS face. But she's all, "My fear was if I slapped him across the face, he'd do the same to me". Do what now??? WHY would you slap him across the face in the first place??? 

The whole sushi dinner was a disaster and Kelly is one hot mess. Even at her worst, Tamra wasn't that sloppy. (Although she's still a massive shit stirrer, but is masking it with compassion. WHOLE other story.) So now she's going to sue that Nina chick? Give me a fucking break. First of all, Nina never said she was a prostitute. She said that SHE (Nina) took care of herself and didn't have to suck dick for money. To me, the implication was that Kelly uses her husband for his money. Which...wasn't Kelly the one who basically told everyone they didn't end up getting divorced because it would cost her too much? So yea, don't be surprised when people make assumptions about the arrangement of your marriage. 

And then Kelly begins clutching her pearls about her daughter. "I'm a MOTHER. I have a DAUGHTER! What if she hears about this????" Um, what if she hears about you getting wasted on TV and screaming at other women? What if she hears that you have called your co-stars "bitch", "cunt", and "dumbfuck"? What if she hears about how you continually shame other women for their hair color, clothing choices, and general appearance? What if her classmates tease her about you and your brother making sexual jokes right in front of her while preparing a salad for dinner? Yea, check yourself first, Kelly. 

Heather was the true MVP of the night. Sometimes I find her horror that the girls's actions rather pretentious and OTT. But she was dead on this time. Call them ALL out, Heather! And the best moment was when she poo-poo'd Vicki and her claims of admitting to what she's done - "Oh, you have not!" Get it, girl! Heather should lose her shit a few more times, because that was awesome. 

I think Kelly really just needs off this show. Maybe Tamra is right, maybe she lashes out because she's in pain down inside. But maybe she's just a really horrible person. Either way, she does not feel like a fit for this show. I'd say, worst first season for a Housewife ever.

I've never been a huge fan, but Heather D. earned some respect from me tonight. These shows have always been ridiculous and trashy, but Kelly is a whole different level and I don't blame Heather for bowing out of that shit. Her breakdown in the limo was weird at first, but then when she said, "I don't want to be associated with this" it suddenly made more sense. She was never a household name but Heather had a legitimate acting career for a time and I know she came on the show hoping to help her get back into the game. That doesn't usually work out well and most of these women end up hawking their own products instead (including the Dubrows), but nothing will permanently dash her hopes of being taken seriously as an actress again like being associated with someone like Kelly Dodd. 

 

I have never quit a RH show before. I will tolerate a lot of bullshit and a lot of terrible people but I won't be back if Kelly is. She is gross. It's hard to take her apology seriously when she's making fun of Heather again 5 minutes later and standing by all of her nonsense in her TH. Girl, bye. Putting aside for a moment the fact that I don't buy Tamra's compassion, Shannon is right that it isn't everyone else's responsibility to fix Kelly's crazy. You can love people and give grace to people and still have boundaries and keep toxic, nasty people who see no problem with their behavior at arms' length. And again, it's hard to take the compassion seriously when Tamra is actively setting Kelly off and stirring shit up again. 

 

Add Vicki to the mix and it gets even worse. Listening to the two of them bitch about Shannon over Kelly's shitty cooking was downright painful, and it seems we're in for more next week when they lament about the other women hating them because they ain't them. Right. 

 

Ugh. I can't even get into the rest of the episode. This fucking show. 

Expand  

I have room at the table with me.  I have this show on DVR and am debating just deleting it and saying goodbye.  There's no point in dealing with Kelly's inability to behave like a normal human being, but the C word is a dealbreaker.   Sorry, Andy, but this isn't funny or interesting.

[esco1822]

Kelly forfeited the right to complain about how she'll look to her daughter when she named that kid Jolie. My pet peeve about all these people playing the "I have children!" card is that they never take responsibility for how their own behavior, not what other people say about them, affects their children. Her behavior has been beyond embarrassing.  She can go.  Bye Felicia.

Though I will say Heather's limo crying gave me douche chills, she was my hero last night. People have complained all season about her being boring.  Well, she picked a hell of a time to do something interesting so I applaud her.  She can wave off Vicky every week and it won't get old for me. She wins the night with Shannon at a close second.  I see your blurred out Guns N Roses t-shirt, Beador.  And I support it. 

[LIMOM]

Maybe, it is the recurrent theme this year for the housewives, the newbies are in bad marriages and on the verge of divorces.

Heather calling Terry crying is ridiculous.

1.  Why did Kelly even call Shannon a C-U-Next Tuesday (I have a hard time even typing that word.)?  As far as I could see, Shannon basically sat quietly throughout the whole of Kelly's meltdown, and only calmly replied - never once raised her voice, never once sounded confrontational.  Granted, Shannon did throw a little jab with the college comment, but it did not deserve the nasty that spewed from Kelly's mouth.  I actually expected to see foam coming out of Kelly's mouth, like some kind of rabid animal.  Anyway, shouldn't that anger be directed at that Nina woman?  

Expand  

This is why I think a lot of people found Kelly's behavior so repulsive. Yes, we've heard bad language coming from these ladies before. That's not really the whole issue. But Shannon wasn't really doing anything. Kelly just seemed totally out of control, and would just hurl insults across the table at women out of nowhere. I think there's a real concern of, "what will she do next?"

The only place they should allow Vicki to eat his McDonalds, because clearly her palate can't handle anything more sophisticated than a Big Mac. I'm seriously so sick of seeing her retch over every damn thing she puts into her mouth. I'm actually kind of a picky eater myself, but I know how to use self control when I taste something I don't like. Hell, even Troy has better manners. He just says, "No thank you" and doesn't make a big production about it.

That was one of the most ostentatious things I have ever seen.  Looked like she stole it from a gaudy Las Vegas high roller suite.  What was worse was that she didn't even have it attached to the bar/countertop, so there was no leverage, which was why Vicki was having trouble with it.

Tacky, tacky, tacky!!!

once again these bitches do not fail to be culturally insensitive at every opportunity. no, adding an o to every word doesn't make it Japanese. At least they didn't start screaming "gross" when the food arrived. Why is it funny in RHousewives land when people are not exactly like you?

I will never forget one of the first episodes  I watched of this show. They were traveling and of course the food was GROSS and Vicks was gagging, so they just wanted french fries. Hello, ugly americans.

I also think that we got the shortened clip of Kellys drunken tirade so I can see why Heather maybe was more emotional. She totally had that really stressed out whine in her voice lol. I don't think I could sit there through all of that and not be stressed out lol

I would also call my husband, IDK who else would you call and vent to about your crazy ass friends/coworkers?  Hes probably the most appropriate choice because he understands the reality tv game and knows them lol. 

I agree with aPP who said it was more Kellys behavior than the actual words spoken. For whatever reason I am not horribly offended by the C you next tuesday ( not that I would call anyone that) or any other swear words to be honest but the fact that she was damn near rabid and her over all drunkenness would unnerve anyone.

Cannot wait to find out if this is Kelly's last hurrah. She has no place on this show.

ETA:. The media thread says she will be back.  Signed contract and all.  I am out after this season.

Expand  

That article linked in the media thread actually states that Kelly had originally signed on for season 8.  This is season 11.  She ended up not doing it because her husband did the same thing Simon Barney did and blocked their daughter from being filmed.  This was during the time that they were separated and Kelly was engaged to someone else.

So no Kelly next season...yet.  They usually don't send out contracts this early anyways.  But I agree, if Kelly is back next season I'm done with this show.  I am 100% in Heather's corner with her reaction to Kelly's vile behavior and I absolutely would have asked Kelly to leave the party as well, whether it was "my" party or not.  No one deserves to be called that or screamed at like Kelly did to Shannon and Tamra. 

[islandgal140]

I think it is not so much the words Kelly's utters (although they are terrible) that I think disturbing but that it doesn't seem to take much provocation for her to go there and it goes left and escalates quickly.  I mean quickly! She is like a landmine - a feather landing on her can make her explode in such an ugly way. Who the hell wants to be around that? Even garbage person Brandi had a good season or 2 where she came off as likable and fun. 

I cringed during Heather's crying scene and I mean 'scene' literally. When the camera faded to black, I honestly believe someone, maybe even Heather herself, said "and .... SCENE!" Watching her face try to strain and contort while the botox and fillers fought to keep everything tight and immobile was like some kind of science special where two polar forces fight against each other - which one will assert its dominance? Hard to tell, but those veins on her forehead might quite the showing under the strain.  I think Heather wouldn't mind getting back into acting, however, it seems like she is going in the tv hosting direction as mentioned loving it. I think she is good at it and as Sophie Petrillo once said to Rose Nylon: she has the most important quality in a anchor - hair that doesn't move.

No wonder Kelly and Vicki get along so well. They both think they can speak other languages if they add vowels to the end of words. Kelly thinks adding an "Os" to the end of everything makes it Japanese, which what!?!? And Vicki thinks adding "Es" makes it Spanish - 'no scratchie the woodie' A match made in culturally insensitive paradise. Idjits! 

I know that Tamra is now team God but it is taking some getting used to and I am reserving judgement until the reunion. 

I think Shannon was both right and wrong with her advice prediction. Yes, Vicki will screw Tamra over but let's not act that that hasn't been a 2 way street in the past. Tamra has screwed Vicki over in the past many a time. 

Am I supposed to be more interested in Meghan's ovaries than her own husband?

Meghan's flip flopping over inviting Vicki to the party was ridiculous. Her "I think so" after being asked str8 out the 2nd time whether Vicki was invited after telling Tamra to invite her was just the worst. 

Let us all take a moment to blow taps over Shannon's pre-divorce ceremony next week ... aka vow renewal.

It was subtle but there -- Tamra and Sarah arrive, the camera shows a line of ladies in Japanese dress, then GONG. Then Tamra says hi, and then GONG and they bow. Bow, GONG. Bow, GONG. EYE ROLL. Surprised they didn't play the Asian riff too.

And it was Kelly who said the thing about her shoes being snake, don't let them be stolen. So apparently Kelly says things like that. Why am I not surprised?

Ok so three things are blatantly obvious:

1. Tams needs to give up hosting parties. Remember the naked wasted party? The Cut Fitness party when she threw Alexis out? Now this sushi/last drinks for Meghan party disaster? 

2. Kelly is one of those people that NEVER needs to drink alcohol. 

3. Heather is the worst actress on the planet. She must be cringing watching the playback of herself weeping in the car with her dry eyes...

Oh, there is a #4- Tams is desperately trying to keep Ryan's baby mama on the show so she can collect some type of money so she doesnt run back to her home town in northern CA. Tams wants grand baby Tams to stay close by.  How does that girl even know any of those people?

I thought something was off with Heather's phone conversation with Terry.  We didn't get the whole thing because his responses seeded like they had been edited out of order.   Heather going nuclear with Kelly was a good one though.   I kind of like Ms. Fancy Pants, and think she would be a better fit for RHOBH.

Do you think Kelly is mixing medicine with alcohol?    And her house is beyond tacky. 

Vicky continues to give out ick vibes.  She is still a horrible person for lying about cancer.

Is it wrong to be so gleeful about all the drama? And other, tingling questions.

I think i've seen enough of Kelly already. Disagree all you want but i'd rather see Jeana, Gretchen or Alexis....at least are they are not so low down...i'm just losing interest altogether.

[Palomar]

I love all these conversations about guest lists and the parties these ladies throw.  We KNOW both Vicki and Kelly will always be invited because all the ladies are contracted to associate with each other whether they like each other or not.  That is the whole point of the show. Plus as others have said....this show is boring as hell EXCEPT when they all get together (ala the Atlanta women and most likely all these RH shows....haven't seen any of the others).

Once again these bitches do not fail to be culturally insensitive at every opportunity. no, adding an o to every word doesn't make it Japanese. At least they didn't start screaming "gross" when the food arrived. Why is it funny in RHousewives land when people are not exactly like you?

I wondered about that as well, but then realized they probably didn't show them reacting to the food to make room for Kelly's antics.

It was subtle but there -- Tamra and Sarah arrive, the camera shows a line of ladies in Japanese dress, then GONG. Then Tamra says hi, and then GONG and they bow. Bow, GONG. Bow, GONG. EYE ROLL. Surprised they didn't play the Asian riff too.

And it was Kelly who said the thing about her shoes being snake, don't let them be stolen. So apparently Kelly says things like that. Why am I not surprised?

Expand  

Ah, I was too distracted by what I call the "Japanese bowing trope" to notice the gong sound: the Japanese bow, the occidentals bow in response, prompting the Japanese to bow in response, etc. until it becomes awkward and the occidentals break the cycle of bowing by walking away in embarrassment.

 

Well, Vicki and Kelly arrived together so I can see why I thought Vicki was the one telling them to make sure her shoes won't get stolen.

[Giselle]

Kelly is an abusive, racist alcoholic with a documented history of violence.  If she were a man she would be off the show and there would be more viewer expounding.

I'm over Pastor Tamra stirring shit from the pulpit then guilt sermonizing others for their honest reactions and feelings. Her fake "shame on you Kelly" with a smirk tells me where her heart lies. She is a new Christian so she is like a puppy, I understand she is excited about her new outlook on life but until she has a few years behind her as a Christian and life has pressed itself upon her while being a one don't grab the microphone and start scolding. Giving up tequila and wine for a few months doesn't count as a trial of life. Maybe for Kelly it does.

Troy has Vicki's number when Nana is talking about buying a boat he's shaking his head, when Nana's talking about finding a man  he knows it's time to leave. Vicki is so desperate for a man in her life if Donn called she would get a flutter of hope just seeing his name come up on her phone.

Meghan...meh.

None of the vitriol not even Kelly getting in Heather's face about throwing her out merited Heather's breakdown in the limo. It rang false. Her anger at the baseness of the evening yes, the crying...no.

Here is Kelly giving maybe the most pathetic explanation for her despicable behavior, oh and what is she wearing?  http://www.bravotv.com/the-daily-dish/kelly-dodd-meghan-king-edmonds-dinner-party-reaction-regret-video

First off Shannon didn't bring Nina to the party, Shannon's neighbor brought her as a plus one.  Perhaps if Kelly not arrived blasted, her husband not flashed the loser sign, there would have been no need to discuss Kelly.  Second no one called her a prostitute and with her college education she should be able to break down the comment.  Why would anyone, let alone Shannon, stick up for Kelly with her drunken ass behavior?  The idea that she is somehow owed chance after chance because she has anger management issues is just inane.  If she is wondering about model behavior for her daughter she should check her mouth. 

Most of all where was Kelly's good friend Vicki in comforting or defending her when she went nuts? 

I have a problem with the good Christian Tamra writing everything off to someone being in pain.   Maybe if Tamra didn't run and tell Kelly what others were saying about her she could spare Kelly some pain.   Tamra was a nasty ass for many seasons and it wasn't Simon's fault.  She was very nasty to Alexis when she was with Eddie.   

[Ubiquitous]

I'm willing to give Tamra a chance at being a good Xian, but someone needs to tell her it's not very Xianlike to tattle about what others say for the sake of being honest.

There is a 'Mexican spitfire' stereotype and THAT was nothing of the sort.

She was in her 'gangbanger chic' mode.

THAT is the way you go gangster on a person.

I think it is not so much the words Kelly's utters (although they are terrible) that I think disturbing but that it doesn't seem to take much provocation for her to go there and it goes left and escalates quickly.  I mean quickly! She is like a landmine - a feather landing on her can make her explode in such an ugly way. Who the hell wants to be around that? Even garbage person Brandi had a good season or 2 where she came off as likable and fun. 

I cringed during Heather's crying scene and I mean 'scene' literally. When the camera faded to black, I honestly believe someone, maybe even Heather herself, said "and .... SCENE!" Watching her face try to strain and contort while the botox and fillers fought to keep everything tight and immobile was like some kind of science special where two polar forces fight against each other - which one will assert its dominance? Hard to tell, but those veins on her forehead might quite the showing under the strain.  I think Heather wouldn't mind getting back into acting, however, it seems like she is going in the tv hosting direction as mentioned loving it. I think she is good at it and as Sophie Petrillo once said to Rose Nylon: she has the most important quality in a anchor - hair that doesn't move.

No wonder Kelly and Vicki get along so well. They both think they can speak other languages if they add vowels to the end of words. Kelly thinks adding an "Os" to the end of everything makes it Japanese, which what!?!? And Vicki thinks adding "Es" makes it Spanish - 'no scratchie the woodie' A match made in culturally insensitive paradise. Idjits! 

I know that Tamra is now team God but it is taking some getting used to and I am reserving judgement until the reunion. 

I think Shannon was both right and wrong with her advice prediction. Yes, Vicki will screw Tamra over but let's not act that that hasn't been a 2 way street in the past. Tamra has screwed Vicki over in the past many a time. 

Am I supposed to be more interested in Meghan's ovaries than her own husband?

Meghan's flip flopping over inviting Vicki to the party was ridiculous. Her "I think so" after being asked str8 out the 2nd time whether Vicki was invited after telling Tamra to invite her was just the worst. 

Let us all take a moment to blow taps over Shannon's pre-divorce ceremony next week ... aka vow renewal.

Vicki has a meal at Kelly’s under-cooked  over-garliced cauliflower. Muy vomito

Kelly apparently has the same tutor as Gretchen

In her TH… how could somebody say these things about me that are so NO-trocious and lies and vicious. I have a daughter and this could get back to her.

What is the verdict? Was Kelly trying to say atrocious, nutritious, notorious or supercalafragalisticexpialadoshus?

Bwahahaha!

[Alonzo Mosely FBI]

OMG. Run Vicki. If Vicks hooks her wagon to Kelly then the OG may go au revoir. Kelly is gross. 

I too did enjoy Vicki stuck in the elevator.

SO MUCH Heather love for what she did and said about EVERYTHING esp the Vicki hand wave away then when she was in the car crying and I went UGH. 

Part of Heather's horror last night, versus not being quite so horrified in other situations was that this was filmed in a very high end, very CONSERVATIVE, traditional Japanese restaurant. Heather's level of horror was the embarrassment of being associated with that mess at that place. It wasn't in someone's backyard it was in a very conservative place and I am sure the servers and management were absolutely appalled. As I would have been.

Does Brianna's son have a speech impediment or is just at the age he is gaining speech? I can't tell them apart. 

So Brianna has a $50,000 budget of her OWN money to put in VICKI'S investment house? Can someone explain this to me. Brianna's goofy grin in her TH tells me she thought she was auditioning as a cast member with an orange. Brianna is so much more valuable to highlight Vicki's dysfuction, she aughta stay in that role.

I think Heather just got completely overwhelmed I believe the breakdown because no matter what she tolerated in the past everyone has their breaking point.  

Kelly is disgusting and classless (Vicki - FYI this is when those words are appropriate they are not a defense to be used when someone is questioning a con man's lies.) On the brighter side her daughter does not seem very fond of her school and I think that display last night will be the catalyst to her going to a new school,.

As hypocritical as she is and also a racist, I bet Kelly would immediately throw down if somebody, not Mexican, made fun of her Mexican heritage. She dishes it but can't take it. One can imagine what is said by her or those around her off camera, it rolls too easily off her tongue.

She sets a shining example for her daughter, that of a freshly expelled dog turd glistening in the sun.

This is one bad side of botox!  Face doesn't move despite all efforts to emote and that ginormous vein in the middle of the forehead was distracting.  I WANTED to feel for her but laughter got in the way.  

Kelly is a giant mess.  I suspect there is a ton of cruelty in that household between both Michael (Voldemort lookalike) and Kelly.  I also suspect raving alcoholism.  Hey Bravo, if I wanted to watch Bad Girls Club I would mosey over to Oxygen.  If Kelly comes back next season I am not sure I can take it.  I DO have to give props to Shannon for letting Kelly show who she is without poking the bear.  She certainly didn't have to.  Sake was handling THAT quite well.

What did ever happen to "Long Dong Silver"?

I thought the Kelly's imitation of the 'champs' swilling pleather to be funny.

--------------------

I thoroughly enjoyed the episode, for a few reasons.

Kelly's tirade WAS something you'd see at a REAL gathering of simpletons.

Again, the hostess loses control of the event - and a guest tries to establish peace.

One "C" word and the party is over? Shit I have been to events where people have threatened to kill each other - along with any family yet to be born.

When shit like that happens, You don't stand up and personalize your disgust.

You pick up your belongings and bow out - No one cares about YOUR feelings, this is between two other people - getting up and becoming part of the circus is stupid and you deserve to get whatever comes your way.
