S12.E08: Run For Your Wife

[KungFuBunny]

Vicki turns green with envy after learning that Kelly is celebrating St. Patrick's Day with Shannon and Meghan; Lydia wonders if her son's prophecy will come true as she competes in a race; Meghan, Shannon and Kelly indulge in whiskey and whimsy.

[PhilMarlowe2]

Wait, so it is going to be at least 9 episodes before Tamra and Vicki finally have some sort of sit down? How long can they drag this out for.........?

[MissMel]

Long enough to put us in a boredom-induced coma?

[Mindthinkr]

Shannons curled shorter hair looks cute in her TH's. 

[jaybird2]

really can't stand peggy...very annoying.

[Mindthinkr]

Peggy seems kind of lost to me. As though she's trying to figure out wher/how she fits in which is working oppositely from what she probably intends. 

[Straycat80]

Is every conversation these women have going to somehow involve how much they hate Vicki? So boring! 

[Mindthinkr]

Megan looked great at the photo shoot. I was surprised just how quickly she breastfed while getting ready. No coverup or shame. Good for her. 

[Pickles]

Peggy and her husband are jackasses. Trying to make the waitress uncomfortable with the butterfly thing and saying the husband needs his meds. Again, Peggy is playing dumb about left field. 

Cannot stand Lydia's voice or her husband's voice. They are both like twigs. 

[nexxie]

Enough with the clueless immigrant bullshit!

[Mindthinkr]

Diko sure looked mean at that meal he shared with his wife.  Scary mean. 

[Pickles]

What is Vicki wearing? 

[mbaywife123]

How funny was the scene with Vicki and Briana poolside with Vicki going on and on and on and Bri was just like shut the hell up and feed me (Vicki had forgotten to pick up the take out). Not surprised if Bri left 5 minutes after this was filmed.

[chick binewski]

I believe in Jesus! And lying about cancer to sell insurance. And dismissing people's names when I'm introduced to them.

[Mindthinkr]

The black witches outfit?

Poor, poor Vicki, everyone is awful to her!

You know it's bad when I do the dishes and it wasn't even 15 minutes in.

See, this is the reason Vicki will never be fired. Even though she's barely had any screen time this episode, all the other women do is talk about her.  They are Vicki-obsessed. Pretend that she doesn't exist and refuse to film with her and she'll be gone.

Shannon needs real therapy. She is always degrading David in public. Like it's not bad enough that she does it in front of their friends but it's on tv for all to see as well. I think that he's cheating on her again and these spartan races are an excuse to spend the weekend away. A man spending copious amounts of time on his appearance and who is emotionally distant and not spending time with the family -- all are signs of infidelity.

Bring on Dallas, this shit is zzzzzz.

[Mindthinkr]

Is David training at home or somewhere else. After his affair I don't know how I'd feel with him leaving at the crack of dawn. Seeing him at dinnertime and then him going back out until bedtime. Hmm...does he even have energy for sex after all that? I don't think she'd be so insecure about her body if they were.  If I were Shannon I might be a bit more suspicious. 

[nexxie]

I'm starting to think Peggy might be deliberately fucking with these women.

[Straycat80]

Didn't anyone tell Peggy that to be an O.C. Housewife she needs to fight, lie, obsess about stuff that happened years ago, hold a grudge, curse like a trucker, and hate Vicki? All she's got down pat so far is resting bitch face. 

David is so desperate to get away from Shannon he'll find any excuse, so since he is probably afraid to have an affair again he's extensively exercising.

[poeticlicensed]

Lydia and her husband..worst parenting choices ever. Yes tell you little kid that mom has to jump over a fire, then wonder why he gets upset. Duh!

[Mindthinkr]

That Spartan race wasn't so tough that David had to train alone for hours every day. I smell a rat. 

[Pickles]

Megan is so thin!

[nexxie]

Top o' the mornin'!

Top o' the afternoon!

Top o' the evenin'!

[Straycat80]

Looks like that coom by ya (sic) moment between Kelly, Shannon and Megan doesn't last  very long. 

[Impalace]

Too many kids!!!

[howiveaddict]

I did feel bad for David, after the race when the two couples were kissing, and he was alone.  Shannon should have gone to support him.  That said, I also think he is cheating again.  Unless he is doing all that exercising at him, which I doubt.  

Years back, my sister took up running to help her get closer to her husband. Now she is an avid runner, but the marriage ended anyway.  However, it might help Shannon's marriage to take some interest in what David does. 

Breanna is so over having to film with just her mother and not the other wives.  You know she is sick of hearing Vicki drone on about how persecuted Vicki is.

Well, this was a tragic turn of events- I was reading and forgot to look up and missed most of the show.  I did see Ricky Ricardo's husband do that peculiar butterfly thing in the restaurant.  WTH?

Also, Rick?  It doesn't matter how things are handled in an Armenian household if you're not dealing with an Armenian. 

[Cherrio]

Just like last week I can't remember a thing about what I watched.

The Real Housewives of Haldol?

Something too fucking short.  I was shocked to find K Dudd looking quite fetching in the aura shop, but realized it was because she was standing next to Vicki who resembles a wild sow/warthog hybrid more every time I see her.  Truly ugly on the inside, and it looks like the ugly seeped out her ear, not her brain.  Bitch is dumb as rocks.  And hateful.

lydia ya stupid fuck, Shannon is not at the Spartan race because she's a middle aged woman who has never been athletic, who is also out of shape and over weight.  Another one dumb as rocks. 

Shannon shows that she can come back from a TKO.  Please let us experience Vacation Shannon once again.

Peggy and Dicko are lame and boring.  She's like watching a really blecherous shade of puce or poop brown dry.  Fucking painful.

i'm lol re your peggy/diko comments...so descriptive... 

[enchantingmonkey]

I missed the first half of the show, or did I?  

Am I really supposed to believe that Armenians don't escalate situations, or engage in yelling at each other, Peggy?  Are you all Buddhist monks or something?  Good grief with this woman.  

It's not like I minded Shannon and K Dudd going at each other's throats but that was actually kinda sweet when they were able to share a moment of compassion and understanding with each other.  Is that considered a Producer's nightmare?  Maybe now we know why they keep Icki on the payroll.   

[Jel]

Watching tonight I realized I don't care if Shannon and Kelly make up, or if Tamra will end up hating Peggy, or if Vicki will be welcomed back to the group. I just don't care.

Fonzie is cued up on his motorcycle. The shark is right there. Jump Fonz, jump!

He's a dick and she's a C.

[JD5166]

David and Shannon=DOOMED! I would be her in this situation as well (drinking at the bar). You can't have a partner who is that interested in physical fitness (I think Spartan races are stupid--however Spartan is my three legged cats name because he IS fierce, named by the rescue where I got him!) when you're just not AT ALL interested - IMO. I feel bad for them both. They are so not happy....even if they are great together in other ways. I see Shannon going in alone within two years if not sooner.

Not only were they jackasses to try to make the waitress uncomfortable for their entertainment (and why oh why that is entertaining is beyond my comprehension) but they were also making fun of people who actually deal with diseases that cause involuntary movements. Jackass is being too kind. 

Once again Peggy plays dumb with regards to a common phrase - while using the phrase correctly. Funny how she cannot understand phrases that she would have heard her whole life, but understood 'resting bitch face' right away. I find her more and more hateful every week, even when I think this is not possible.

Still don't know if she actually had breast cancer or not. They found it, then they didn't, then they did, then they didn't. Clear as mud. I do love how Peggy speaks for every. single. Armenian. person. I wonder if Dorinda's John from RHONY knows that sometimes his actions are not Peggy- approved as an Armenian? 

[yogi2014L]

Shannon and David are donezoooooo. they really should just end it and move on. 

[tinaw]

It was nice to see Shannon and Kelly talking and apologizing. All I could think though is when is the REAL Kelly coming back.

I actually have both friends and relatives who are totally into physical fitness and without an exception their spouses have no interest. Whatsoever. Many times, as seems to have been the case with David, one partner takes up the interest into the marriage, and the other just is not interested. I know if my hubby decided to take up running, and training for such a race I would have no interest. I also have no interest in the gym. I have a treadmill that I use when I can't get out to play outdoor sports, but for the most part exercising unless it involves a sport bores me to tears. Couples do however need to find common interests to share, which I think is what Shannon and David need in their marriage. OTOH my brother and sis in law - married for 46 years - have no interests in common other than their kids and grandkids. He is a sport nut and plays several, and she is a totally creative. They both admire the others talents but share none.

They are stupid as was butterfly! Whaaaat? Least funny thing ever!!! 

The breast cancer thing I get. I had been diagnosed at a stage "0" and after many surgeries to reach clean lines my boob was hacked beyond belief (they were beautiful!) At that time I found a good breast surgeon who sent me for an MRI to check me out fully to see what they would find, if anything. Another spot was found on my other breast that was so Close to my ribs they couldn't see it without an ultrasound. I was 40 and couldn't imagine going every 6 months for mammograms and the waiting....and waiting for the hammer to fall, I did what she did. It was recommended (this was before brca testing was available).  Am also poor, my boobs don't look quite as good as hers....but I have a piece of mind. I still don't like the Peggy. LOL BUt I get her decision! 

[Mu Shu]

Oh please let this be Shannon 's puppet master move.  Separating K Dudd from Icki Gunvalson.  K Dudd has always wanted to hang with the cool kids, but ended up with Ick, who is that kid who tattles on everyone, holds her breath until she turns blue, and pees her pants in second period for attention.  Vicki is the least cool person on any franchise ever.

Take Vicki's only friend, Shannon, then drop her as like a hot potato.  I'll send you a special delicious low cal casserole if you do.   Grease the piglet and squeeze her out. 

[Petunia13]

Peggy makes too many generalizations.
