As for the etched glass window, it doesn't exactly look personalized (it has four birds on the branches of the tree which represent her kids, and two nests with eggs that represent her frozen eggs, but who would know this?), so a buyer wouldn't have an issue. 

Heather also admitted she had help with the design, and decoration of the house (she was presented with ideas, etc.) in an interview I just read, so she didn't do everything herself like she claimed on the show.

I did not think the buyer would have an issue with the eggs (but if they watched the show they certainly would know about the eggs), it's just that it seems it would be something you would do in your forever home, now Heather will be leaving her eggs behind...maybe in the new home she can embed some other personal DNA in something like a mosiac floor?

The Dubrow OC house was purchased by the same Asian buyer(s) with connections to Hong Kong and China who bought Mark Walhberg's house in Beverly Park, Los Angeles within four months. Each house sold for $55 million. Mark Walhberg's house is even larger, and was purchased with cash. The identity of the buyer remains secret.

Shannon LYING and trying to minimize the drunk driving thing doesn't surprise me at all .. shes trying to make it sound like she was just sitting in his driveway "revving' up the engine and oops it was the gas instead.....  NOT speeding down a narrow public street and slamming into a house ...

Shannon certainly didn't down play Gina's DUI, she talked about it like crazy and helped her get a good attorney and talked about that a lot too...how soon they forget.

Shannon is sure hoping no one saw the news in the last few months. Sorry Shan, we know what really happened.

Shannon’s in denial. Her girls are beautiful tho and good for Stella (?) for getting to do all that traveling. WOW, what a privilege at such a young age. 
 

Tamra opens with sex talk with Eddie, Zzzzzzzzz. Her face is different, again. 
 

Thank you, Emily, for being honest about how you got your new figure and not saying, “I drink alot of water and get 8 hours of sleep every night” 🤣

Save Archie!

Tamara treats Jen exactly how she treated Gretchen. Kept saying that they were good, Gretchen would believe her and let her guard down, and then Tamara would hear something about her and throw it in her face. Tamara didn't like Slade, she doesn't like Jen's boyfriend, but in an extra like HATES them type of way. Jen and Gretchen both acted really sweet and innocent, and I think that also drives Tamara crazy. She likes women to be more damaged-- if they are pretty, and she is very jealous of anyone that might compete with her for "hottest housewife." 

Gretchen was beyond annoying, and so is Jenn (but not nearly as bad). Given both of them had/have no storyline except trying to be friends with Tamara, I don't see Jenn sticking around too long either. 

Heather is so entrenched with diet culture, she just can't stomach anyone that is isn't dying to be thin and eats without worrying about weight. She does look down on Emily for her size, and just her healthy attitude about food. Really, I think the only housewives that Heather has ever seemed to like were Vicki and of course Tamara. When Tamara stopped liking Heather last year, Heather was completely lost. She had not a single friend.

I really like Tamara, I do. She's real and brings the drama. I only started watching OC again when Tamara came back. Vicki though-- after she crafted the cancer storyline with Brooks, I lost all respect for her. She was IMO, 100% in on it because she needed a storyline and driving her kids crazy with her workaholism wasn't going to work any more since they were grown and off doing their own lives. 

I love Alexis, always had, and I'm thrilled she is back. Though I do think it is cruel and unusual punishment, for Bravo, to bring back Alexis just because she is dating Shannon's ex boyfriend who broke her heart. And then sued her.

New catchphrase: “There’s the door, Shannon Beador!” 

Honestly, I’m on the fence about watching this season. I’m finding most of these ladies insufferable/unlikeable. Plus, it looks like we will get a double dose of Heather since her house saga will be a part of Million Dollar Listing LA. 🤢

Why does Katie look familiar? Was she in the background of some of the group scenes last year? Like at Crystal’s party?

I didn't know Tamrat had fans. I've despised her since she orchestrated Naked Wasted. 

Yeah, more than any other HW, Tamra is the one who made the franchise what it is, for better or for worse. I never saw her as real, as she is the reason the show shifted from showing these women's "real" lives to women having manufactured fights over petty issues due to shit stirring, jealousy, etc.

Calling myself a fan of Tamara is a little far out there. But she has a lot of energy, is very good at reading people and calling people out, and keeps things moving. Heather is way too into herself and I think would be better on the Beverly Hills show. Every season it's her trying to sell something, there  was the Collette Wine, then she was going to buy a restaurant, and then it was the skin creme, and then her home living channel that you needed to subscribe to, and probably others I 'm forgetting. Fun fact-- my husband was a manager at a restuarant in Wayzata MN back in 2017 and Heather and Terry came in for dinner. My husband said she was super rude to the female manager that was tasked with serving them extra special attention, and also very rude to the female host. Very surprised she is so standoffish, you would think she would be interested in being friendly and making friends. He had heard them saying she was a Housewife and he called me to ask me if I knew who she was (he is only familiar with/cares about Tamara-- "the really pretty lady who looks 25 but is a grandma.") She was apparently very nice to the male staff. So maybe the cheating rumors are true. 

Heather has always hid her stomach.

Yes, that's what it is. She tries to convince everybody it was a ONE time issue, that's why she doesn't need rehab, she doesn't need to stop drinking, she doesn't need an Uber.

Also, the scene with Shannon and her daughters feels rehearsed because Bravo filmed it about a week before the current season started filming, in order for Shannon to provide her side of the story (of the incident).

Reruns of earlier seasons on Bravo right now (and earlier, and later).

It did feel rehearsed.  I just can't with Shannon.  She is an alcoholic who clearly has not hit rock bottom.  Don't want to witness that and whatever collateral damage follows.

ONE night only? GTFO. It just takes one accident.

As far as I’m concerned, her putting Archie in danger? She can STFU with her excuses. That is just as bad as having kids in the car. Both depend on the lush behind the wheel to get them home safely.

I may need to tune in just for Alexis, LOL.

Maybe Archie should have driven on that night?

Shannon still has not hit rock bottom, her kids should go to Alanon.

It’s probably going to take something very bad to happen in order to get her to rock bottom.

the fact she is refusing to stop drinking at all is very telling that she probably does in fact have a drinking problem ... she is gonna annoy the hell out of me I can tell 

When has she never annoyed the hell out of people? Her drinking is making me consider her marriage to David in a whole new light. He wasn’t Mr. Wonderful by any stretch, but I’m sure he put up with an awful lot.

David was not great, but she was making rude comments (even about Michigan, its food, and its women- David is from Michigan) from the second they joined the show, and he normally didn't reply. He said that she was drinking too much.

I’m rewatching Shannon’s first season, season 9, right now. Even then, she was drinking a lot, and a couple of them on the show commented on it and the producers pointed it out.

This is a solid point I hadn't considered.  Now that you say it, I'm fully turned around that Shannon should be *grateful* that they cast Alexis and that Alexis is apparently going to choose to be an asshole.  You're right that storyline will be one in which most people sympathize with Shannon, which will offset the drunk driving storyline in which most won't take her side.

I don’t know how I feel about this, frankly. Bringing in an “asshole” to deflect from Shannon’s very obvious problem that could affect (and has affected) people who aren’t on the show, like other drivers, pedestrians, animals, people in their houses — hell, even herself — really? That’s Bravo’s motivation?

Bravo, by being an enabler, isn’t doing her any favors. This is serious stuff. I don’t want to see her hit “rock bottom” by way of a tragedy. I know I have unrealistic expectations for Bravo, but problem drinking just can’t be ignored so easily. IMO.

As for Alexis, this is her Bad Girl Redemption Tour. She’s out from under that controlling dick Jim and has 40 years of wild oats to sow. We saw a glimpse of that on Below Deck when she was dry-humping her boyfriend every chance she got.

The drinking culture in OC is rampant.  A friend moved there a few years ago and said it's hard to find friends who don't drink themselves to sleep every night.  Even the teenagers are given access to full alcohol cabinets by the parents, almost encouraged.  

I think it's the perceived need to keep up that puts this pressure on them, along with the pressure to stay skinny.  Not thin, not healthy, SKINNY.  My friend has gotten so skinny since she moved there, and when I went to visit her, I was this giant among women at a size 10.

Not excusing Shannon, AT ALL.  Driving your car into someone's home, while stalking your ex.....well if that isn't a wake-up call, what is?  

Shannon has never been as skinny as the average OC women, but she always used to look healthy, back in the day.  She dealt with her stress first by eating to excess, then by drinking to excess.  Colonics to excess.  Remember when David had to remove the tube?  Ugh.  Everything to excess.

What Shannon needs is to resign from the OC, maybe move to a different part of the country that she can afford, and get into some deep-down therapy.

@RoseAllDay I don't think Bravo brought on Alexis to make us sympathetic to Shannon. I think they did it because it's DRAMA. If Alexis had chosen kindness and compassion, there wouldn't even be much to be sympathetic over. I just think that's how it will play out, and Shannon should be grateful for it (as far as audience reactions go...I'm not sure she would have chosen to deal with this even if she knew for a fact it would make her more sympathetic.)

If this posts twice, apologies. Fumble Fingers here.

I’m not the least bit surprised at OC culture. Did you see the reruns this week of Lynne Curtin’s season? She admitted several times that it was hard to keep up, and they had to be loose with the girls because of peer pressure. The Curtins really had no business being in the OC, but Lynne wanted the status. Those hateful kids were total train wrecks. It says something when Gretchen Rossi (and Tamra, in one TH) was the voice of reason.

Yes…Bravo needs to sideline Shannon for her own good, whether or not she gets help. Whatever Bravo’s motive for bringing back Alexis, the drinking problem is still the elephant in the room. Shannon has a lot of neuroses (hypochondria appears to be one), which is a vicious circle with booze. For every time she appears to be okay, she spirals and turns into a mess.

I wouldn't he surprised if that was the only reason he and Bravo have any interest in bringing Alexis back.

Shannon needs to go.  She needs to sober up and if she doesn't want to, she can drink off tv.  It is like a grown folks Afterschool Special with her messiness on it.
