Breaking news....Peggy, Lydia and Meghan are all out next season. YAY!!!

Peggy and Lydia I can definitely see not being asked back for another season. They just don't click with the other ladies.

Meghan I think will be asked back unless her husband wants her to travel with him.

I appreciate the Jason Bourne-type edit we're getting while we wait to see if Vickiwill make it.

It reminded me more of the show "24"

This is by far the most comforting thing you can say to a person having a panic attack, Kelly!  Being the bitch that I am, I laughed hysterically.   Next Kelly will be calling the hospital and asking, “Is Vicki dead yet?”  

Kelly: I've always wanted to do a tour of an Icelandic Hospital

Tamra: Me, too!

Kelly: Let's make sure they bring us down to the morgue so that we can visit Vicki.

OMG, the first half hour of this episode was the funniest I have seen in years. Makes up for the first 16 episodes. I was laughing so hard when Vicki was carried out to the ambulance with her head covered by a robe that I could hardly catch my breath. Then Kelly telling Vicki that she might be having a heart attack just sent me over the edge. I recovered, then returned to fits of giggles when the ladies decided to have dinner instead of visit Vicki, Shannon inquired about the vodka selection, and Meghan ordered a casserole for Vicki. Priceless.

When Peggy got in the van and the driver asked if someone else was coming and should he wait, I totally expected Peggy to call Dicko to ask if it was OK for the van to leave. I am not kidding. I also thought when no one could get Peggy to answer her door, that we would find out that Dicko had told her to come home, so she had left. I am very disappointed in Dicko that he didn't. 

I also expected Lydia to take credit for Vicki's quick recovery, given that she led the group prayer. Oh, and my other fav scene was the phone call Vicki had with Steve, when he told her bringing her dead body home would be no problem. The plane could just drag her along behind it. Got to say, Steve is growing on me. 

I agree.  I am embarrassed to admit I've rewatched this episode twice.  And damn it, Kelly Dodd has me laughing so hard.  Her annoyance with Peggy was just so, so funny.  I'd be okay with them keeping Peggy around as long as Kelly is kept too.

[Bronzedog]

I really think the basis for Vick's health crisis is simply that she's too old to continue the whoop it up lifestyle.  She can't bounce back like she once could.  That and possibly the altitude.  And, that she's a drama queen.  Even blankets get old.

I know I'm asking A LOT of these women to apply logic and clear communication (it's nigh impossible), but why didn't Peggy just go to the hospital with Lydia?  Did Lydia not even talk to Peggy, and just bypass her to go berate the others for eating dinner before heading to the hospital?  

The thing that got me was that Peggy was sooooo upset that the other four were just sitting there eating and not rushing to the hospital, but by the time she actually made the decision to go to the hospital (because Diko told her to) they were nearly done with dinner. So that means she wasted just as much time as they did, but didn't get a chance to eat. By the time she actually went to the hospital Vicki was on her way back to the hotel and didn't seem at all upset with the ones who stayed to have dinner - because they gave her a casserole!

Even Lydia had an epiphany about Vicki's "illness" when she called it a 'case of the Vickis' on the ride back from the hospital. She looked like she was majorly regretting having hired on for the season to be Vicki's cheerleader. 

But any sympathy I had for Lydia (very, very brief moment there) was erased when she again tried to gaslight Shannon and stir her up while they were shopping.

I do think Shannon gets threatened by Tamra getting close to Vicki, not because she's her friend and no one else can have her (who'd want her??), but because she and Tamra are supposed to be as one when it comes to all the lies Vicki told about the cancer and about their marriages. So yes she definitely gets threatened. But I thought last night she was doing her best to let things just flow. She did snark to Meghan during the makeup cry session between Vicki and Tamra but she wasn't saying those things to the group and I think the only time she got kind of shouty there was when Kelly kept trying to insert herself and Tamra told her this is "between A and B and C you later" or like that? And when Vicki was so "ill" she was mostly supportive, or not any more snarky then any of the others. So then you have Lydia. She hears that there was some kind of makeup session between Tamra and Vicki from Kelly who also tells her that Shannon seemed very upset that they were now friends again (Tamra and Vicki). Next they all go shopping and Shannon actually jokes with Vicki about the statue and a hair on the chin. And then Lydia zeroes in. She tells Shannon how nice it is that she is joking with Vicki and mentions that Vicki and Tamra made up, so how nice that Shannon was getting along too. Then when Shannon says it's only for the trip and that Vicki is still Vicki, Lydia pokes her again. You can tell she's trying to get a reaction and get Shannon to go "crazy" but for once Shannon doesn't bite. So Lydia then has her talking head about how there's something wrong with Shannon because she just can't let things go. Hate Lydia.

Still hate Peggy. Wanted those doctors/paramedics to shove her out the door and slam it in her face. When she told the doctor to stop asking Vicki questions and help her, I wanted him to tell her to shut up and let him do his f*cking job! He has to come out here and be included in their circus, but at least let him do what he's trained to do.

Diko definitely wasn't behind Peggy's self imposed time-out. That dude is ALLLLL about the orange. He'd be telling her to get herself in the mix as much as possible.

I am disappointed Vicki didn't kick the bucket.

Pack her up in an industrial size casserole dish and send her home where no one would claim her.

Heck, even Steve who actually knows her couldn't care less.

When I saw Lydia with her bible the morning after the night before, not all of her t-shirt was visible. I thought the shirt had Problematic written on it. I straight away thought ,yes you are, good warning!’, but then later I saw it had Nobleman written on it. I prefer problematic!

I swear I saw the exact same thing.  I was sure it said, "PROBLEMATIC", and here it says, "NOBLEMAN".  That is in itself problematic.  I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees "things".

Megan is nursing, so if she says she needs to eat - she NEEDS to eat. 

I'd understand that she'd need to pump to keep the steady flow of milk coming in but she was drinking a lot of champagne. She would/ should of pumped and tossed at least once to get the alcohol out of her system and not pass it on to the baby. Eating is good;  it keeps the nutrients steady and also helps to absorb all the drinking. Her nanny/cousin is really being a good sport keeping Aspen away from all these zany antics. 

That phone recording. Hmm...Meagan both drinking and breastfeeding? I hope not.

Isn't that Donn account a parody?

Peggy using an idiom and then having to backtrack is becoming a thing. Also, her don't ask questions just help her to the paramedic was so weird.

If she is breastfeeding, whether dumping or not, she needs to eat because of the calorie requirements.  She's still producing the milk even if it goes down the drain instead of down Aspen's gullet.

It was not only a casserole, it was one that was dressed up with a cloche! 

[njbchlover]

I know this is petty (well, it IS RHOC and everything is petty), but I cannot stand that some of these women have such lazy grammar!!  I heard it several times last night, and it set my teeth on edge.  Both Meghan and Kelly (and, maybe Tamra) said "I needa eat" instead of "I need to eat".  I also think that Kelly said to Vicki "you needa go to the hospital".

It's stupid, but it's one of those things that drive me crazy - why, oh why can't these women speak correctly??

Too much to drink. Their tongues can't fully form the words. Lazy speech. 

[Juliegirlj]

Little preview clip at the end looks like Peggy is accusing Megan of a parenting faux pas, with video evidence....Peggy seems to think she is morally superior to the others. She makes Kelly Dodd look good. 

This season is probably Vicki's death rattle- not literally but being cast on the show next season .

I'm waiting for someone to tell Vicki that wasn't a casserole, it was just pasta served up in a square bowl

A morally superior homophobe.  She won't be asked back next year....too many Housewives from other franchises want her fired.

No, they are not friends. Tamra made that clear on WWHL as well. She is through with Vicki for good.

Since I thanked the "Great Pumpkin" for the early bag FULL of treats here is my list of the women of candy in said bag:

Vicki= Candy Corn (OG nasty waxy candy lasts forever and the only way to get rid of it is to throw away)

Tamra = Gummy worm/rat. (No explanation needed)

Shannon = Mounds or Almond Joy (because some time you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't)

Kelly= Snickers (because she is like the two different hungry people in their ads)

Megan= Milky Way (breastfeeding and all that)

Lydia= Pixie Stix (sugar in a straw and you don't have to touch the sticky candy directly)

Peggy = Wax lips or those gross wax cola bottles. (gross, no flavor and not worth the time)

 

Heh, brilliant! The only one I'd change is Vix:

 

Vicki =  Lemonhead for her over-inflated cranium and for her immortal cry of "... my hair is not yellow, Mom, my hair is blonde!'

The show was taped several months ago.  The WWHL episode is much more recent.

That's a parody/fake Donn, not the real Donn G. LOL

[MinorL]

I think Shannon really got mad when Vicki was saying, "You,  Heather and Shannon were calling me a con woman" and whatever other claims she was making. I think Shannon was less mad about Tamra being friends with Vicki again and more mad that, in the middle of this "touching scene," Vicki was spouting off about her victimhood at the hands of Shannon. Shannon was annoyed at Tamra and Vicki's making up, for sure, but that's when Shannon started to get really riled.

Goodness gracious, Vicki is a drama queen. Fresh out of the hospital and she drinking. Go to sleep! (TM Betheny from Scary Island)

Notice how she also did not seem to give a crap about Peggy the next day because she had made up with Tamra.

I love fake Donn.

Vicki is a lying sack of shit.  She probably drank on the plane which is very dehydrating, probably had jet leg, wasn’t sleeping properly, and “whooped it up” adding to the dehydration.  Plus, she is an out of shape crone.  Threw a clot my ass.  You don’t mix blood thinners and alcohol.  

Bitch was hungover.   And when she met Tamra in the hallway tha next morning, she looked like Courtney Love after a 2 week smack binge which included getting hit in the face with a sock full of nickels a few times.

Speaking of looks, Tamra looks hot in a mud mask, and the Dudd is surprisingly pretty with no make up.  Those two and Megan  looked great in the fur hats.  Vicki looked like a disheveled, red faced ostrich, Lydia looked like a furry rat, and Shannon should stick to something else.

Did Peggy say her father was a marigold?  I loved seeing her get the Dudd’s drunken wrath.   The thought of dorky Dicko calling Mr Clean to reprimand his wife was pretty funny I must say.

This guy Steve has not two shits to give about Vicki.  

I don’t think Tamra wants to “whoop it up” with Vicki anymore.  One, she’s fairly sober now, so two, she sees how embarrassing it is to party with the tragically unhip crone.   I do wonder if Shannon busts out the “23 skidoo “ as her partying cry.   She’s even less hip than Vicki, which is hard to do.

I think he does. I also think that he doesn't give much credence to her pity party blowing it out of proportion antics. That's why he gave the tie her leg to the plane bringing her home speech. He's just not going to let the crazy seed grow (or water it).

And they keep you in the hospital until the clot dissolves so it won't travel any farther. Sent her back with a shot to administer herself? I'm may be wrong, but I call bullshit on that. Seriously, when they wheeled her into the hospital, they hadn't even put in IV in. Yeah, it was serious.  My aching ass serious.

Yeah, there was something sketchy about this.  And who goes from feeling like they are dying and being taken to the hospital to drinking, eating and staying up and up all night in a matter of hours?

I don't think Peggy or Diko realize that she just put herself on the chopping block by refusing to film even if it was just a brief scene with Lydia or Vicki about how hurt she was by Kelly's comments.

This is what I don't get either.  Lydia and Vicki had nothing to do with what happened with the other women, so Peggy still ignores them?  Maybe she is mad and hurt, but if someone comes to check on you or texts you to see if you are ok, you don't just keep sulking and ignore them.

Exactly. When I was nursing, I was always much more hungry than when I was pregnant. If I went too long past meal time, I'd get sooooo jittery and dizzy. I don't blame Megan one bit for making sure she got a meal. I'm sure she's pumping and dumping. She's never seemed like anything but a responsible mother to me. If she just wanted to party, she'd leave the baby at home with a can of formula.
