S11.E15: Shamrocks And Shockwaves

[Tara Ariano]

Quote

The women jet to Ireland to explore Meghan's heritage. They embark on a pub crawl, which leads to a sobering exchange between Tamra and Kelly, pushing Tamra over the edge. The ladies then try to recover with a traditional Irish "hooley" night.

[ryebread]

I don't watch this trainwreck anymore but, just now, I accidentally caught a teaser for this episode. 

It looks like Shannon is trying to calm Tamra down.  Tamra looks like a seizing, hyperventilating cat.  I'm in.

[VedaPierce]

I'm betting Vickie sent those roses to herself. Lyin hefer. 

[FlyingEgret]

Genie-ologist?

[bosawks]

Meghan totally scheduled that genealogy appointment against the pub crawl so she'd get a reprieve from Kelly.....

[Chicklet]

Hell I bet Meghan had a better time than the crazy women. Jeez Kelly what a loon she is.

[VedaPierce]

So, as soon as Vickie starts feeling as if she's back in with the other women, she can't shed Kelly fast enough! The nose flick is now "hurtful" to Vickie! SO ridiculous! 

[VedaPierce]

The nose-flicking, very annoying, but that's all it is, annoying. Does it really warrant a huge fight about it?? THEY ARE all SO STUPID! Ugh! And idiot Shannon suddenly with the high brow humor- while she's wearing a glittery shamrocky over-the-top spangled silly shirt?!

they all kind of remind me of that scene in Goodfellas, when everyone is laughing and drinking and having a great time until joe Pesci decides he's gonna get offended, then everyone turns on a dime and turn into psychos...or the middle school girls clique, when everyone is being silly until head bitch in charge decides it's NOT funny and everyone turns on some hapless loser! They really all suck.

[ivygirl]

"This has nothing to do with me, so I'm staying out of it." Oh Vicki, you're so funny. Like that's ever stopped you.

"No offense, hillbillies." Ok that did make me lol.

Otherwise Vicki can lose me with her attempts at ingratiation, and Kelly can lose me with the "They're so Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeean to meeeeeeeeeeee!"

Shannon seems like a good friend. Her conversation in the bus with Tamra was kind and truly empathic. 

On a positive note, it looks like those crazy Vanderpump kids are well behaved!*

 

*At least compared to Kelly and Vicki.

[FlyingEgret]

Best background face: Meghan or Shannon?

[bosawks]

You know the day has been a shit storm when it ends with Tamra, Shannon and Heather drinking some motherfucking TEA!!!

[Bronzedog]

I have a few funny Jewish friends.  I had no idea, until tonight, that they are funny because they're Jewish.  Good to know.  Top 'o the nut house to ya!

I'll go Meghan since she had to do hers stone cold sober.

[VedaPierce]

I think I figured out what Kelly's problem is, she's just very dumb. 

[whydoievencare]

My god, Kelly is truly a crazy woman.  She's incapable of apologizing for anything - even if that would be her best and smartest move in the big scheme of things.  As soon as there is any hint of criticism towards her, she escalates her behaviour to the maximum ugliness and becomes just the most vile person I've ever seen.  And yet, in her mind, it's always because of what someone has done to her - she's just/always retaliating.  She truly is a child.  Kelly and her husband are two peas in a pod and really deserve each other.  I hope she doesn't return next season.

[Sai]

That Kelly is a nasty piece of work. Next week she's screaming at Shannon calling her a drunk. She's just so nasty to everyone.  Please get rid of her.

[Bronzedog]

Vicki's neediness is repulsive. Everything about the mentally disturbed Kelly is repulsive.

[dosodog]

Were parts of Meghan's shirt blurred while she was packing?  It looked like a beautiful print, but blurred in places.

Tale Kelly out of the episode and I enjoyed everyone.

and VERY IGNORANT.      

[Sarcastica]

Kelly is vile. I hate her. 

[chick binewski]

Kelly's husband: "The Irish will love you!"

Me: Have you EVER spent any time with your wife??

Apparently, Kelly ran out of ways to offend the Irish so she just switched over to Jews. I hope her friend isn't too attached to that real estate licence!

So, to Meghan, successful = execution. This explains so much about her choice of husbands.

Also, I'm totally with @VedaPierce - a show of hands for those of us who thought Vicki sent roses to herself.

[Ubiquitous]

Yeah, I thought Vicki totally sent those flowers to herself.

Kelly is a lunatic! Or is the proper term maniac?

[PhilMarlowe2]

I am surprised to be saying this, but I believe Kelly when she says that Tamra distorted the truth. Tamra does that all the time!

She better go to Newport Imaging for a brain scan.

[Sai]

I had to laugh at Heather freaking out over getting kicked out of the department store.  Tamra's having a nervous breakdown and Heather is mortified that she got kicked out of the store.  That was some funny shit. 

[Ubiquitous]

I must admit I laughed when Meghan told Kelly that she's the one who performs background checks on the others.

Stupid is as stupid does!

I think Kelly Messy-Dudd just sealed her fate as a one season participant.

[VedaPierce]

Actually, after watching the rest of the episode, lol, I take it back about Kelly, she's not just dumb, she's really really crazy. Like murderer crazy. Like set the house on fire after clubbing you crazy. I'm scared of her.

[Maire]

Maybe it's  because I love Ireland but this was a very tough slog. I was embarrassed for them.

[rustyspigot]

Meghan made me laugh for the first time I think when Kelly was talking about investigating the lot loan with her. "That sounds like something I would do".

Yes. A nose flick led to Tamra to call on Jesus to help her fight Kelly.

And yes, Vicki bought those flowers and planted the shoes. Or maybe it was hillbillies. No offense hillbillies.

I almost forgot the biggest insult of all, American Lady Heather got kicked out of a store!

That was funny.

Unlike Kelly, Meghan has some self awareness and even self depricating humor.

[Chicklet]

There is honestly something wrong with Kelly. She doesn't read people or situations at all so she continues on her merry way annoying them with childish crap. And she shouldn't be allowed to drink. Neither should Vicki as she's an ass when she's drinking. Ok she's a worse ass.

[Mu Shu]

Kelly, you shouldn't mix wine with Xanax.  And the correct term for her is a bigot.  A stupid, ignorant bigot.

Shannon I love you, but the second hand embarrassment is real.  For fucks sake, that green sequined granny shirt. 

Vicki, it's hard to insult a hillbilly, generally they would just jack slap your ass and get on with life, but you are also a bigot.  And a low class, ugly sack of shit.   I almost vomited watching her trying to bump and grind like a spastic blow up doll.  I hear Ireland is chilly, maybe your boyfriend will buy you a fur or some shit.   Sure he bought you flowers.  Lying stanky slag.

Tamra, I am slow clapping over here.  How the hell do you instigate shit and get off Scot free every time?  Whatever you're getting paid, you are earning it.  

Heather you are just a lame Jew.  Have you never seen Seinfeld? Jews are funny!   Oh Kelly, you really stepped in some deep shit.  You called Heather an unfunny Jew, and got her kicked out of an actual store.  Shit has to hit the fan.  

Why does Megan's hair look so shitty?  Her extensions are poorly blended with her straw like, shorter hair, and in her THs, it looks like she's wearing a cheap, puffy wig from the Raquel Welch collection.   Other than that, I got nothing on Megan.  She is so fucking boring and irrelevant.

I thought the same thing!!, and it looks like so did other posters.

[Lucelu]

Kelly is a bunny burner; that chick has no clear sense of boundaries. The girls were bugged because she kept getting in their space physically acting like a child and acting like it is "funny." Then she was inappropriately mean to Tamra which instigated Tamra giving it back to her (basically telling her to back off and dfwm). Kelly then proceeds to talk shit about Tamra to one of good friends on the show (a person that is not particularly sympathetic to her) and brings her kid into it which is kind of a taboo on these shows.  I feel sorry for Meghan staying with her but then.. .Megs has stirred and escalated enough on her own so maybe it's some therapeutic karma to be stuck in a suite with crazy Kelly. Kelly has no concept of proportionate response.

[chewycandy]

Oh Vicki, you little coquette. Have you realized yet that the men (or "boys" as you like to call them) you flirt with, um, don't want to flirt back?

[Bronzedog]

Well, if nothing else positive happened in this episode, at least hillbillies finally got a long overdue shoutout.

[ridethemaverick]

Vicki either sent those flowers or she pulled a Kenya and hired that guy to play her boyfriend. No way do I believe any normal man loves Vicki. Sorry, that's sooooo meeaaaannnn.

Kelly is a jackal. I don't know anything about jackals but it seemed appropriate. And there's no nuance to her. She's either manic and happy or miserable and nasty. 

Shannon still makes me cringe. She's fun but in a "my grandma keeps trying to make me laugh" kinda way. Just stop, Nana. And I don't care what anyone says...her telling Tamra what Kelly said was getback from the MIL incident. That's how these women show that they "care."

Heather amused me this episode. I can imagine it must have been mortifying to be lumped in with the rest of those nutbags and kicked out of the store. 

Meghan is so much more enjoyable when she's pregnant.

I think it's safe to say, we ALL think so! Lol the whole lot of us! :)

[100PercentPain]

Shannon's face while Kelly was drunkenly rambling about how "people of Jewish descent are supposed to be funny" had me howling. Oh my lanta. Her sparkly shirt gives me life too. God, I love Shannon. 

 

Gee, Vicki bailed on her new best friend awfully quick. No surprise there. Hope everyone took note. 

 

Pet peeve: the word is REALTOR. Not real-a-tor.

 

Kelly is certifiable. Straight up. I can't imagine hanging out with her for an evening - she is exhausting and relentless and then flies off the handle when other people aren't into it. I laughed at Michael at the beginning of the episode when she was baiting him about how "good" Terry is to Heather, and he laughed and said, "I'm sure that's mutual." Bwaaah! Nice try though, Kel. She is seriously working overtime to try and make him look bad and she's just pissing into the wind. Couldn't happen to a better person. 

 

I don't know the details between Tamra and her daughter. I know the messages that got out awhile back don't look good on Tamra, like at all, and her antics on the show probably haven't helped, but damnit if I feel don't feel bad for her too. It does seem to be an unspoken agreement between the ladies that you just don't go there with the kids, and Kelly blew right past it.

 

I was wondering why we just got audio but it made sense when Heather said they were kicked out. Man, was she livid. 

 

Kelly: I would never look into someone's financials! 

Meghan: That sounds like something I would do. 

 

Ha! Meghan, PI. Never change. 

 

Reunion is going to be ugly. I can't wait.

Yes - parts of her shirt were blurred - left shoulder and belly area at least.  I thought it actually called more attention to the garment - probably not their intent...

[Panda Bear]

Kelly really is the second coming of Brandi Glanville. I hope she meets Brandi's same fate.

Is it possible that she's actually WORSE?? Remember how back in the day, we were all so horrified by Camile Grammer? We were all so innocent then....they really keep upping the anti, don't they?

[absolutelyido]

So, turns out Kelly is a really mean drunk. Who could have seen that coming?

I just can't with Vicki anymore. I can't even stand to watch her. She needs to be gone next season.

[annewithaneee]

Every time Kelly opened her mouth tonight, I could hear Alyssa Edwards from Rupaul's Drag Race bellow "BEAST! Gila monster! Rotted! Gutted!!". She is sincerely the very worst.

She also can't control herself when she's drinking.  

[bosawks]

And that one poor bartender who had to deal with a Vicki groping while pouring a Guinness and then, as if he hadn't suffered enough, he had to endure the waltz of the harridans.

Poor bastard.

[JAYJAY1979]

Camille grammar is in a higher level then either brandi or kelly.  She was snooty, calm, and made her rival flustered.  Why cant these shows cast someone in Camille's mold instead if Brandi's mold?

I loved Shannon's too....i have a green polo, green finger less gloves and suspenders all ready for when i go to Ireland.

Tamras outburst was decent...but her season 9 outburst running barefoot and her season 6 cyst and deceased outrank it.

Heather cant pretend she's superior...how soon she forgets her behavior in season 9.

[FlyingEgret]

What's up with the black # hats? Last week Kelly was wearing one that said #coolmom and this week Tamra wore one with #fitmom - I cringe to think what Vicki's will say... #lowdeductiblemom???
