S11.E11: The Moral Minority

[Tara Ariano]

Quote

The ladies regroup following an accident, and new alliances are forged. Also: Tamra considers postponing her fitness competition; Meghan heads to Vicki's house to made amends; and Shannon tries to repair torn friendships.

[PhilMarlowe2]

I know it will probably all be resolved very quickly, but damn if I am not so excited to see tension among all the besties that aren't Vicki and Kelly.

[Bronzedog]

"Tell Vicki to text Brooks".   HAHAHA!  And, the winner is, David Beador!

[nexxie]

"Tell her to text Brooks and let's go golfing."

lol - thanks David!

I must've been typing when you posted - such a great line from David, even his tone was perfect. Ha!

[nexxie]

So Tamra points fingers at others to get the heat off herself - same ol' nasty Tamra!

[CouchTater]

I'm so pissed on behalf of Meghan and Shannon.  They owe Vicky nothing.  "Go to hell?"  Really, Tamra?  I wish they'd had the verbal ability to tear Tamra a new one when she was going off on them. 

[ChelleGame]

"Tell her to text Brooks."  Died laughing. Typing this from the afterlife.

[Bronzedog]

Megan!  Don't drink the Kool aid!  Kelly and Heather were sitting around drinking. Not rushing to the hospital.

What a bunch of BS.  And, look!  Still no Michael. Bitch should be Michael's problem.

[motorcitymom65]

My bet is that Shannon and Meghan start back peddling quick.

O yea, that was totally transparent. I'm surprised she didn't offer to lay hands on Vix.

Did Meghan and Vix even make contact when they hugged?

Briana, I always defend you (and I dig your little fellas) but, wow, what a bitchy TH. I get your mum's about the drama but this time I think she's allowed.

[nexxie]

Jimmy was right.

[mbaywife123]

Ha! Briana just called out her own mother for embellishing her (Vicki's) pain and suffering, like mother like daughter, two peas in a pod indeed!

Meghan sure threw Tamra under the bus quick! I've never liked Meghan.

[dosodog]

Google maps has the distance from the hospital to Glamis as 2 hours 1 minute.  Not 48 minutes.  Megan PI let me down.

[mbaywife123]

Tamra, the goose that laid Vicki's golden redemption egg.

[nexxie]

Heather's mask is slipping.

on edit: Heather flat-out sucks - "being dramatic" is an understatement. I would've boxed up my watermelon salad and split.

So you lie about cancer but if you get into a dunebuggy accident all is forgiven and forgotten? Ok got that.

[koolkids]

This is all so much BS.  Vicki's kids couldn't be bothered to tend to her and she has no friends.  Why is this Megan's fault?  

[VedaPierce]

I feel like this was a really great episode. And I think that's because, it changed my perception on a couple of these hags. Last week I was on the fence about the hospital visit, do u go, not go, etc.. But now I'm in the "you just go" camp.. Just out of human decency if nothing else. Not because Vickie is good or bad or a liar face, but because it's just the right thing to do. Meghan just looks BAD. You're filming, with coworkers, they were in horrible accident, you don't start mapping whose closer! Watching that exchange on the golf course made me feel icky. Meg also knew instinctively she screwed up and tried to fix it later, but it was too late, she looks like a garbage person. Damage done. She had a quick moment to shine and be a hero, but now, she showed me that she pretty much sucks.

also, Heather. Couldn't STAND her for years, felt a turn around in those feelings tonight! I thought she was really cool throughout. Not blaming Tamra, but kidding her a bit about planning the next trip, her directness in her feelings to Meghan. I was impressed. 

Maybe I'm a sucker, but the whole episode felt very real to me. Like during a pivotal moment, when u really see someone's character, when it matters.

I've also never really liked Meghan and found her insincere and self-serving. She's one of those people that, even when they are on the right side of a conflict, are just still downright unlikeable. 

PS. Really saw Eddie for the supportive, kind and patient man that he is. Tamra is lucky to have a good guy like that in her life.

The thought of Vicki sitting back on 20 faux Hermes pillows wearing a polyester blend peignoir sipping rose on the rocks and texting selfies of herself in a neck brace is why God invented Andy Cohen.

[Bronzedog]

Heather is being Heather the actress during her meeting with Megan.  Botched by Nature is on next.  Maybe they'll have Vicki and Brianna on and Paul and Terry can try to figure out why they are both so f'ed up.  It's not plastic surgery but still.

[Chicklet]

I just might be less than sympathetic when the "victim" of an accident "texteses" me pictures of themselves boarded and collared the day of the accident. Who does this? Specially if they are the victim. Suuure morphine made her do it.

A lot of people actually.

[VedaPierce]

Vickie should send Tamra a huge muffin basket for rolling that thing, best thing that could have happened to her to get her back in the game. No apologies from her about cancer-lying could have worked that kind of magic. Isn't life funny sometimes? Just when you think you're finished professionally/personally, your skanky friend rolls an atv on you, and you're back on top! Lol lol

I'm not a fan of Meghan's but I'm on the fence here. Meghan and Shannon didn't need to go see Vicki in the hospital, Vicki has been horrible to both of them in the past but...I agree with VedaPierce, it was uncomfortable watching the two women not having any compassion at all. And where was Michael, Vicki's son, thru all this? 

Oh, next week looks good! Shannon's MIL and SIL don't like her  and looks like some drama ensues! 

[BloggerAloud]

No one is better or louder about martyrdom than a Real Housewife. It seemed like most of Heather's problems stemmed from the fact that no one was particularly concerned about her injuries or the fact that she was in the accident. 

And I about died of laughter when she took offense to Meghan calling her patronizing when patronizing people is like one of the chief cornerstones of Heather's existence.

[Petunia13]

"I don't know why it takes a near death experience to have compassion." Really Vicki? You understand very well the fact that medical situations influence people to be kinder to people who normally they find fault with. 

What the fuck with Megan? She's mad Tamra called her out so now she's throwing her under the bus to Vicki. 

Kelly is so obviously bipolar. Each episode she's escalating from  out having a meltdown to being all saccharine sweet la la gushing. 

Watching everyone fuss and fawn over Vicki made me sick. She's going to be milking this forever. 

Mapquest is the new Malibu Country or Hot in Cleveland for Heather endorsements??

[JennyMominFL]

I don't blame Shanon for much. It seems Meghan did not convey things.

Meghan.. Yuck. Never liked her. She hates that Vicki might be milking this. This from the woman who has been treating pregnancy like and illness since, well before she was pregnant. How many times will we have to hear about her hormones?

ETA, though Heather.. definitely Patronizing.

ETA 2.. My husband was watching and saw the commercial for Dont Be Tardy and asked if Kim had a stroke because her wig was too tight.

ETA 3... MY husband and I have a history of stokes..He can make stroke jokes

How exactly does one do makeup while wearing a neck brace? That burning question distracted me from the rest of Vicki's sick calls

[rustyspigot]

It took me forever to find this thread. Thank Jesus for MapQuest.

Sorry about your neck, here is a candle. HAHAHAHAHA!

Leave it to Heather to pre eat before meeting Meghan for lunch.

[VedaPierce]

And I find Shannon shifty. There, I said it.

and hair! How does one do hair? I had tendonitis in my elbow and thought I would die trying to blow out my hair. Maybe I needed to be airlifted somewhere for my elbow. I did it all wrong.

I can buy it. I put on makeup while having a mini stroke and only being able to use one arm.

I probably couldn't have done my hair though

[chick binewski]

Seriously, Heather? You more than likely have someone on payroll to floss your teeth twice a day but you can't get a car service out of Glamis (aka this year's Havasu)? You had time to braid your hair in a style no female over 10 should wear so whatever.

Vicki equates illness with free casseroles. Have we learned nothing from last season? 

[BlackMamba]

Heather: You called me theratical and patronizing

Me: (in my baby jane voice) BECAUSE YOU ARE HEATHER YOU ARE! 

Heather just really makes me the fuck sick.   Yes Vicki was injured but shes ok now. Why is Heather trying to make Meghan and Shannon guilty for not seeing her?   They. Aren't. Friends!   Heather was just being a bossypants,  Bethenny cheapknockoff.   Then when Meghan gave her the apology she said "Thank you"  UGHHHHH this bitch! She's another one I question why is she still on this show.   Her storyline about her house being built isn't working and she's just one big sanctimonious broad.  Waste of canvas space! 

Vicki's own daughter Briana wasn't buying her mother's dramatics.   So why are these women doing the same even Vicki admitted she was grateful for the accident to get her friends back.   She's going to milk til she gets her casserole. 

Then we have TamraTox telling someone to "Go to hell" yeah bitch that's quite Christian of you. 

I just hate guilt tripping,  fake broads like Heather and Tamra.  Yet the great beauty about this season they all can't stand each other and change their friendship like the wind which is good because it's making for an entertaining season.

This from a woman who milked the fatal illness of her husband's ex-wife as a storyline for a reality show!

[dosodog]

I agree with Vedra Pierce and Straycat80, the scenes with Shannon, Megan and especially their husbands, was uncomfortable and icky.   Particularly the men.  Losers, both of them.

It was hard to watch.  Regardless of the past with Vicki.  She lied about cancer and apparently tried to scam money for cancer, but still.

Neither Megan or Shannon had to go, but the remarks didn't need to be made either.

[thesupremediva1]

Meghan King Edmonds: unmasked as the nasty, vile piece of shit I've always seen her to be. No wonder her husband never speaks to her or looks at her, even when it's time to procreate. I pity her spawn.

What a heartless bitch. At least Shannon looked hesitant and embarrassed about not wanting to volunteer to see Vicki.

[Mu Shu]

What quack gave Vicki morphine?  She didn't have any traumatic injuries.   Bunch of shit.  She's a fucking liar face with whiplash.  

I never liked David and that Simon Cowell looking guy, but after this episode I'll buy a candle.    

What sucks is that the accident likely bought Vicki another season.   God how I loathe her. I wouldn't have gone to deliver sweat pants to her fat ass either.  She has family who did not go see her, and she had the financial means to get home.   Fuck her.  Let her lie in the bed she made and choke on a casserole. 

[mbaywife123]

My my Tamra, how Christian and forgiving of you to tell Megan to go to hell, maybe you need a tune-up from your

"pasture".

[JennyMominFL]

I worried and don't know what's going on with me.  I've warmed a bit to Tamra who is one of my most hated housewives of all time. Ditto to kind of liking heather now. I used to like Shannon, especially in her first season. Now I can't stand her.  I'll always love to hate Vicki, but I felt kind of bad for her today. I still despise Meghan, so at least there is that

Not judging on the go/don't go thing right now.  Because I fully acknowledge that Brianna is thinking Vicki is faking and she is well enough to take care of he kids (unless there is an unmentioned babysitter).

I just thought it was very interesting to watch Meghan gradually realize how badly she mishandled this from a reality show persona perspective and the evolution of trying to dig herself out by digging a deeper hole.

First going after Heather for not going to the hospital to spread the blame for not going.  She's not closer.  And yes, both Brianna and Vicki's son are not closer.  Thanks for the google tips.  I think that one of the kids should have still gone.

Meghan and Shannon's 'oh shit' reactions when Tamra yelled at them over the phone was hysterical.  That was a pure 'how did I end up with the bad edit' freak out.

Then it was unclear that it was serious. And she and Jim said they talked about it right away.  Well, they didn't air that if it happened.

Then she goes to Vicki and tries to direct Vicki's rage at Tamra's recklessness, hoping no one gossiped to Vicki.  I do not like Vicki, but watching Meghan pretend that none of the conversations with Heather happened while Vicki let Meghan ramble until she went after Tamra on camera was Machiavellian in .a 'you pissed off Tamra and Heather and I'll let them take you down while I act like I'm above it all' way.

[VedaPierce]

Also, if Meghan is so sorry and giving Heather so many apologies at their lunch, why doesn't she open with that, instead of first calling Heather immature and patronizing and complains about Heather hanging up on her?? So first she's nasty and defensive and aggressive, then she's filled with apologies. 

Btw, does Meghan know what the word patronizing means? Because I saw no shades of patronization in Heather's phone call to Meghan on the golf course. She was many things, shaken, incredulous, annoyed, irritated, but not at all "patronizing". Megan's a stubborn dumbass.

I'm not sure what pissed me off more:

• Vicki pulling her obvious manipulative crap (she got morphine?).
• Meghan falling for Vicki's trap.
• Heather getting sand in her you-know-what.
• Kelly missing the irony(?) of chiding Meghan about how a friend would visit Vicki while sitting on her ass in the trailer.

Not sure why people are surprised that Vicki got Morphine. That's given out A LOT in medical situations. My mother hurt her thumb last month and the first thing they did in the ER was give her morphine. I can't tell you how many times my husband and I have been given morphine for minor things. We've actually turned it down a few time because we didn't need it

[RachelRhae73]

David Beador gives me the creeps

Jim looks likes a very unhappy man.

Regardless of how evil Vicki is, if I lived 40 minutes from the hospital, I would have stopped by out of compassion, nothin says you have to stay, stop in check in on her  & go home.

They work on a reality show, part of the job is to interact with people you don't care for...suck it up cupcake.

i didn't hear Heather & Kelly laughing when they were telling Megan what happened, yes they mentioned Kelly's beer, but I didn't hear any chuckles.

Megan exaggerated that entire conversation to Shannon.

Regarding Shannon, I just don't know about her, maybe she's working to get her own spin off so she won't have to deal with either Vicki or Kelly.

my general consensus, I'm glad I'm not on reality tv and I just don't like Megan, she always got that "I smell a fart" look on her face.

Heather really said she might have PTSD.   Girl if she's not thirty for storyline.   Plus PTSD is a serious issue for many people who have been in combat and abusive situations don't make it a joke,  people with mental illlnesses and disorders are already stigmatized enough in our society.   

Meghan shouldn't had backed down to Heather's bs.  It's really annoying Heather attacks people's character then try to spin it in her favor.   Heather is never happy unless you do what Heather wants ever.   

Just send Heather to Atlanta and see how far she gets with that bs she tried to pull tonight.

I'm sure Meghan knew that filming was going on. She seems smart so I would think she would have realized this would not look good for her.

[DivaLasVegas82]

This episode make Meghan look really bad. She was so adamant about not seeing Vicki in the hospital, but when Vicki gets released, she tries to make Heather and Tamra look like the bad guys and then saying she didn't know how severe the accident was. Even if the accident was minor, Vicki is still her co-worker, and she and Shannon both could have gone to the hospital and said a few kind words to Vicki. No one was asking them to stay at the hospital for hours and hold Vicki's hand. Where was Michael during the time of the accident? Heather and Kelly said Briana was sick with the flu, but there was no mention of why Michael didn't see his mother. But how sad that even Briana thought Vicki was exaggerating her symptoms for sympathy. Briana knows her mother too well.
