S12.E16: An Unexpected Thaw

[b2H]

That settles it:  Lydiot is 12 years old.  Totally unable to accept anything isn’t on her rainbow.  She needs to find other 12 year olds.  Maybe Andy can do something with 12 year olds as lead characters.

[TexasGal]

Did Lydia say Rey-ka-vich?  After ice-LAND last week.  Like, do some research before “your” trip.

[Martinigirl]

I didn't want to make it a big deal ...so I threw a menu and stomped off to the water closet. 

[Mindthinkr]

Perhaps if Shannon didn't complain so much (i.e. Shutting her trap) she would have had an easier time hiking up the glacier. 

[Martinigirl]

They better bring her a damn casserole!

[Cranky One]

Sounds like The Ick has altitude sickness? 

[Straycat80]

That was a nice touch showing the fog coming over the hill and towards the hotel like the Spector of Death. Not that I wish any ill to Vicki but she probably had the flu or altitude sickness. And it's scary to get sick in a foreign country.

The highest spot in all of Iceland is only 7000 feet elevation. True altitude sickness doesn’t occur until over 9000 feet. If you are out of shape though, you can get winded at lower altitudes, but not really altitude sickness. 

[Emmeline]

I didn’t think I would enjoy seeing Iceland because it’s somewhere I never thought of going, so far it’s been very fascinating.

I though Megan looked beautiful in the fur hat.  If there was ever somewhere appropriate for it, it’s Iceland.

Tamra and Shannon look ridiculous wearing those Viking hats in the restaurant.  I know this isn’t the popular opinion but I can understand Lydia’s being upset about being left out.  Could Shannon let Tamra and Lydia speak without butting in?

Vickie is 55 and at a higher altitude.  That would have been a difficult trek for a lot of people her age.

[KLovestoShop]

Hate to tell Vicki but a lot of women in her age group have heart palpitations, and they aren’t generally dangerous.  And we know she’s ok because she’s alive and kicking and appearing on other TV shows.  She’s got all the signs of altitude sickness.

Thanks for posting this, KFB. As usual, Tams goes just a little too far in showing how daring she is by telling the guide about Kelly's vag rejuvenation. No matter how much piety bubbles from those lips, low-rent Tammy Sue always reappears.

Okay, I missed some parts.  Did Tam really tell the guide about Kelly's vag rejuvenation????? ???

[Mu Shu]

Yeah, like we didn’t see the Ick faking a heart attack from a mile away. 

peggy emerging from the van looked like a praying mantis in a wooly mammoth pelt.

ah, cute.  The Ick had a burger and fried cheese sticks in Rinkydink.  Fucking ignorant loser.

doug and Lydia are a perfect match.   They both have tiny little heads that come to a point.  Sure I have a pointed head, but my ass ain’t on tv to laugh at. 

[mbaywife123]

I think we are seeing Vicki opening her own exit door to be off the show. She knows she is probably on the chopping block for next season and will claim when the ax falls that she wasn't let go but because of her "health" issues she is no longer able to appear on HER show.

[Thumper]

When Tams said something like "It used to be Vicki and I (sic) having fun together," I half expected the show to start showing one of those music-filled slo-mo montages of Vicki and Tams "moments."   Blech, but funny!

[Bronzedog]

So, Vicki’s on her death bed and she’s saying, “They knew I wasn’t feeling well” like  the others were conspiring for her to have a heart attack.  

Through this whole show I was trying to remember the last time I read a magazine.

Also, I’d like to take this opportunity to thank my dog for snoring so incredibly loud that I couldn’t hear part of the show.  My neighbors are probably wondering why I was running a motorboat engine in the house.

[Duke2801]

Of course Lydia threw the

menu like a petulant child. Because she is a petulant child. 

[Cherrio]

Vicki and Lydiot

The Duggars are calling with a Tatar Tot Casserole.

You can hang with Josh, nobody likes him either.

[Eater of Worlds]

All I could think about with those Viking helmets is that Vikings didn't wear horns.  People probably thought them idiots for wearing them.

[enchantingmonkey]

All I could think about them wearing those Viking helmets was how they were doing a good job of perpetuating the "Stupid Americans" stereotype.  

That was an amusing dig the editing team threw in there with Shannon bitching at Heather over the chair as she was talking about Lydiot being immature.  

[poeticlicensed]

I want to go to Iceland and hike up a glacier now!

[howiveaddict]

Poor Vicki, there probably aren't any casseroles in Iceland.  Maybe someone can make her one  out of that fermented shark.  She probably decided to be sick so that she wouldn't have to go on any more nature hikes.  And everyone can wait on her hand and foot as she lies in her bed.

I liked that Kelly was asking questions and acting interested in the scenery. I would be the one to ask all the questions.

Maybe they can send Vicki a basket of "Puffin Muffins" .

I also like Kelly asking questions and trying learn about the country she was visiting.

[goofygirl]

My little sparkle pony sure showed her arse at the restaurant.  Not being included in a group text after "sharing bible verses".... Oh, the humanity!

Lydia needs to get a clue, no dinner invite, off the group text...they don't like you BECAUSE you have an issue with EVERY LITTLE THING

These are just a few of the reasons that Lydia needs to shut.the.fuck.up.    I really couldn’t handle all of the whining tonight.  She needs to GO

[LilaFowler]

Lydia does act like a child but really, Shannon isn't that much better. I lol'd when Shannon of all people exclaimed, "she's so sensitive" when Lydia stormed off. Pot, meet kettle. The editors had fun with that segment--I had forgotten about ChairGate.

[Cranky One]

Another Lydiotism...Iceland looks like Mississippi. Um, no. I live in Mississippi and they aren't quite the same.

[Marley]

Lol Lydia of all ppl saying that the women should be more open minded is hilarious. Mrs. I can’t go within 500 feet of a psychic or drag queen. Fuck off. 

Vicki is like the definition of the boy who cried wolf. She could actually be sick but who knows with all her faking.

Peggy was a joke not trying anything. Glad to not see little man Diko this episode tho that was nice. 

[Bronzedog]

If Vicki has to be airlifted back to the states, I hope there's a layover in Oklahoma.

O.M.F.G.! Kelly Dodd just revealed (on WWHL) that Vicki said Terry Dubrow kills people on the operating table and that’s why Heather was mad!

Oh god, I know there was something else I wanted to bitch about.  Iceland is a cold Nordic country and MS is the Deep South. Completely different latitudes.  Lydia is an idiot who has never been to Mississippi. 

I hope someone traps her with cheese and sends her off to Santa’s workhouse, if they have one in Iceland.  Stupid little monkey rat troll.

And Vicki will sputter in astonishment if confronted with that, “I’m not gossiping, I am just repeating what I heard.” As she has done with the Eddie is gay, David beats Shannon, etc. rumors. She refuses to admit she is wrong in spreading these things or that she means to hurt with the gossiping. Horrible hag.

Well, what she said was THAT was what Vicki told her that she, Kelly, repeated on the bus ride from hell in Ireland! In other words, that was/is the lie Vicki was spreading about Heather/Terry.

Shannon stop lying. I love you but you know you would be pissed.

But Lydia needs to cool it, she likes to call Shannon out for being a drama queen but look at you making a big deal about a group text.

If Shannon had been left off of a group text, she would have been sobbing as she threw plates, and there is no denying it.

[mbaywife123]

The Dodd is dropping bombs left and right on WWHL.

Not necessarily, if it was Tamra that left her off, then no, she wouldn't be upset but if Lydia left her off, yes, then all bets are off! LOL

Ok, I get it but that this was what Vicki told her changes things IMO. It puts the blame on Vicki much more than it does Kelly and it answered what it was that Vicki (thru Kelly) said about Heather that was edited out on that bus ride. LOL

[NeverLate]

How old is Lydia, she really does act like a little 12 year old

Meghan looks great, motherhood agrees with her, and she seems to embrace Iceland.

The rest prefer OC, they all look  unhappy...lol.

As for Vicki, whooping it up, with one hour of sleep isn't good for a fit person, let alone someone your age, who does not exercise.That's what bought on this anxiety attack imho. In other words, altitude sickness.

Kelly said something about someone being boring (?) on WWHL but by then I was only half listening. I hope someone else caught that. Andy acted like she dropped a bomb.

[mbaywife123]

Caller asked Kelly what she thought of Meg saying that Kelly was too mean and nasty for the show and Dodd replied "well she's (Meg) is boring for the show" .

Then back to the Dubrow issue she claims that Vicki said on camera straight to Heather's face on the bus the shit about Terry and that Vicki and Heather had a fight about it.

Especially, because MS has a ton of pine trees and there is this beautiful road called the Natchez Trace Parkway. Not to mention it has beaches just like the OC. What a Lydiot!

Kelly said that about Meghan in an interview she did yesterday, she is recycling crap! I guess she is grasping to keep her Orange, especially if she thinks Vicki will not be back next season. LOL

I can see Heather getting in Vicki's face after Kelly said it, she wouldn't put up with it at all, especially from someone that was involved in 2 separate cancer scams! Good for Heather for calling Vicki out.

she  said megan was boring.  this was in response to andy (i think) asking kelly what she thought of megan saying kelly is nasty and mean.  

[AttackTurtle]

If Vicki really did claim that Terry killed people on the operating table then that is pretty despicable.; particularly since she has been so concerned about her own business reputation in light of cancer gate.  And I do miss Heather this season.    

Peggy still brings nothing to this show.  Lydia is still ridiculously annoying, but given how sensitive she is, I'd be shocked if she returned for another season.  She knows that she is not coming off well this season.

 

The previews of Vicki and Tamra reconciling are kind of a joke because it's pretty clear that they presently can't stand each other.

do you mean vicki and tamra

[Pop Tart]

Tonight I realized that part of the reason Shannon comments on her own size so much and “jokes” about it is because she’s doing that thing some people do when they’re afraid others are noticing their flaws. She’s making a joke first so that others won’t do it. It’s a defense mechanism I’ve used when feeing self conscious about my weight or being out of breath doing an activity that my skinnier friends are having no issues with. I make a joke at my own expense or comment about my own size because it feels like I need to be the one to mention the elephant in the room (no pun intended) and sort of take control of my own narrative. Of course no one else is obsessing about Shannon’s weight as she thinks they are and generally aren’t going to say a thing about it, but it can feel like they might so instead she jumps in first.

Not only was Lydia incredibly immature about the group text (the gist of which was that Tamra wasn’t joining them for dinner), but did you notice how she fled the scene when Megan began to breastfeed Aspen? When Megan began to feed her, Lydia suddenly jumped up and decided that she was going on a nature hike.

And re: Megan, sure her statements about mommyhood are the exact opposite of profound (incredibly obvious and banal), still I’ve heard variations of that theme from many new mothers, and many of them announce their feelings with that same suggestion in their voice that perhaps no other woman has discovered the fact that babies change everything.

I’ve been appreciating Megan’s basic, no nonsense way of looking at things. She told Lydia the text thing was no big deal, just an oversight. And I loved how when she had to pee on the glacier she did so with no fuss or muss. I also give her kudos for how polite she was during the food tasting and I laughed when she said she was full when the guy offered her more fermented shark.
