So they implant embryos? I don't get it. How old is this baby when it gets implanted? Isn't the baby a zygote until week 4? So is the baby 2 months old or was it just implanted that day? I just don't get it. It doesn't make any sense to me. 

I'm sure the internet has tons of articles on IVF and how it works.

OK so am I the only one who saw that Shocking Ending as an alliance to oust Kelly, Meghan, Lydia and Peggy? Not that Peggy & Lydia need much assistance in that regard.

What a bag of bullshit.

I saw it as Bravo's attempt to have all their viewers projectile vomit simultaneously.

[diadochokinesis]

I'm watching now and at the end and I just want to throw something at the Vicki on my screen.  Ugh.  There is nothing redeeming about her.  She did participate in a cancer scam.  She made up crap.  She said she took him to chemo. She made up a visit by Terry to insert an IV. She is scum.

[AttackTurtle]

Next season we get to watch Vicki ditch Kelly. I don't think Meghan is a goner b/c the bond b/t Andy and Jimmy is tight.  They were all just pictured together a couple nights ago.  A second season of Peggy makes no sense. Another season of Lydia makes no sense.  Bring back Heather and possibly a friend of Kelly's as I think she's going to need one.

oh and Meghan was 100% spot on about Peggy playing the cancer card.

She's in denial, but it's cancer, but she came on for support, but she doesn't want to talk about it, and did you know how it feels to open your robe and not see breasts, but don't you dare ask a question, and I almost had chemo for my cancer that was actually pre-cancer, and my dad died!  I was still taking pain medications months after surgery and it hurt and the baby cried and my mother's instinct, and they were talking about me!

This! Peggy says she wanted support, but when the others tried to ask questions and maybe understand what she was going through better she got all defensive. I did not get the impression that any of the other ladies thought Peggy was faking cancer, but that they just did not understand her story. I would have loved them to go harder on Peggy, but she started crying so no one really did much to confront her about her shit. Meghan did do well with Peggy pinching her lips bit, but other than that no one really went in on Peggy and her bullshit.

Lydia is the worst. I cannot even express how much I dislike her. Did Shannon kick her puppy or eat her baby or something? I just do not get why she dislikes her so much. I would have loved Lydia getting called on her crap more as well.

Every time I felt that the reunion might get interesting Andy kept shutting everything down with the "we are not going to get anywhere with this" garbage.

That hug at the end made me want to vomit. For me there is no redeeming Vicki. They can try as they might, but it isn't happening. They can try to have her, Tamra, and Shannon go back to their previous shenanigans, but I loathe Vicki. No amount of that will ever redeem Vicki for me. I prefer Tamra and Shannon (and even Kelly) when they are away from Vicki.  I do not want anyone to forget her cancer scamming ways. I would love if they brought it up all the time. Vicki you did participate in a cancer scam. You lied for him and your stories kept changing. Also, didn't last season Vicki say something like she would still be with Brooks if had not broken up with her? I do not know about anyone else, but if my significant other lied to me about having cancer I would be pissed. I would not be saying I would still be with the guy or crying in the street when he left. I would have kicked his ass out.

I really wish Lydia, Peggy, and Vicki would get fired. I know Vicki won't. If Meghan is sticking around I want more Meghan PI.

I did agree with Tamra when she said nothing looked good on Vicki.

Yes Lydia you are the left out leftover because you are as boring as all get out along with the dumb dolt Peggy.

OMG, Lydia looks horrible... I've never seen her hair and makeup look so bad.

Meghan's hair color and spray tan? Uh!

Tamra's artificial tan?

Yikes.

[Hockey Addict]

And Peggy? These women are barely co workers. Hardly someone you would want support from

[LilaFowler]

The hug at the end was so unbelievably fake. That was three people trying to secure their oranges for next season. Tamra is a horrible person with no soul so I believe that she could truly take Vicki back and not miss a beat, but Shannon's not an actress and you could tell that she wasn't into it.

Next season, will they pretend like it's all water under the bridge? I don't know that I can watch another season of fake bullshit. Kelly did a podcast recently and mentioned that she thought that Heather might return. The show does need a voice of reason and the Meghan/Lydia combo was a total failure. No one seemed very excited for Meghan's announcement because I don't think any of them actually like her. She, Lydia, and Peggy can go.

This woman was either too sick or too dumb to know how to play the game correctly. You either share your issues with everyone and hold them accountable for not being sympathetic or you don't share anything, but provide a justification about why it's hard for you to share and be open. But if Peggy was too sick to be on the show, Peggy could have not filmed. Lots of people have left filming because it wasn't working for them, like Katie Hamilton. Peggy stayed in the cast because of Diko.

All I want for Christmas is a Costco(TM) hotdog and soda or smoothie with Kelly and Shannon.

No need for Uber(TM) I can drive my own self home. Vicky and Tamra can sit in the cart for the cut boxes and register tape check off at the exit door.

[bravofan27]

I'm not sure what happened at the end. It didn't add up. It was sort of hysterical that Vicki didn't care about about being called homophobic, a cancer scammer, con artist, etc., but once Tamra alluded that "Nothing looked good on her," that was offensive. Clearly to me Vicki has come to terms with her role as a scammer and hater, but imply her clothes don't fit and she loses it. It struck me how troubling and extreme her shallowness is.

But Vicki wants Shannon back to comfort her during her divorce (i.e., get the dirt on what happened and then use it against her later), and she wants to be friends with Tamra again for unknown reasons. Methinks that in real life, Eddie is NOT going to be okay with Tamra hanging out with Vicki. So that will create some tension. It will be interesting to see how Eddie supports Tamra and Vicki's relationship in the next season. Or if it's going to lead to Tamra claiming that she's being controlled by man and let it break them up. 

I was left realizing it's clearly Vicki, Tamra, and Shannon's show. And it sees that Tamra will do whatever she needs to do to stay on the show, even if it means ruining her marriage. Just thoughts now. 

[NeverLate]

I hope nobody is buying Vicki's BS, I don't think Shannon does. She'll be there for Shannon, don't make me laugh.

As for her and Tamra, the next drunken row, Eddie will be gay again, and Brooks/cancer will come up.

Peggy, no tears, sorry not one. RBF , pouty little mare. Be gone! How could anyone be there for you, when your story changed week by week..ugh! 

Lydia, so boring, so stupid, go play with the fairy dust

Meghan, being pregnant agrees with you, beautiful woman, who doesn't take any bs!

Kelly was pretty laid back, wait until next season. Tamra was right once, Vicki doesn't look good in anything.

Bring on RHOBH!..

    Early on when Andy started questioning Shannon Peggy started smirking and my blood pressure spiked. She may, may of been a teeny tiny bit redeemable if she acknowledged her bad behavior and acted embarrassed. Admitting your wrong goes a long way in life.

When Peggy said “Dicko doesn’t control me, he shows concern for me.” Big red flags went up.

Peggy is insane. That's all I have. "Nobody asked me?" after Shannon did ask her? She can't communicate which is her issue. She wanted to complicate things and she managed to do so. Why in hell would any normal person want to be on Reality TV the month her father dies and 6 weeks after a double mastectomy? She and Lydia are masters at attempting to turn things around on people. They are transparent and it doesn't fly most of the time with viewers but it seems to stun the women.

I can see she could have been going through a lot of trauma and emotional and physical pain between her father's death, the pre-cancerous results per her doctor (or cancerous results per Peggy), her double mastectomy, the expanders and any drugs she may have been on but, as you say, then it probably wasn't the best idea for her to do the show this season. 

A UCLA English major who can't communicate?  Really??????  I don't know if she really is such a poor communicator or if she purposely created drama and confusion through her mixed signals and inconsistent and incomplete explanations.  Also, she says that the women didn't understand her and didn't support her but, a) who would understand her given how badly she speaks and explains her situation to other people; and b) these women already aren't the most perceptive people, so they sure as hell wouldn't have been able to read Peggy's mind without some clues.  And when they did ask more questions because they didn't understand, she just got defensive.

Voice of one:

All but Meghan came off really well tonight.   She was petty and stupid in her remarks the entire reunion. 

Shannon was the biggest phony in trying to couch her behavior as "supportive" to Peggy and in her one-sidedness with Lydia.  She's really on the defensive but I feel she has the capacity to see where she goes astray.  She really does lash out at others.  Glad she knows that and I hope she works at it. 

I believe the hug, etc.  How long it lasts is another story.  I agree with a poster above who said Andy's remarks at the end were a not-so-subtle warning that the 3 need to stop it already.

I would actually like to see Peggy and Lydia return.  Learning Peggy's backstory helped me understand her better.  Lydia got a raw deal from the beginning and I'd like to see her get a bit of payback where Shannon  is concerned - although I would like to see her temper her constant talk about Jesus.  Ugh.  Waaaayyyyy too much.

Anyone following media reports to know if the hug stuck?

Shannon was asked on WWHL post-reunion filming to name three cast mates with whom she got along. She responded with Tamra and Kelly, then subsequently apologized to Meghan on Instagram for forgetting to mention her. Personally, I hope this means Meghan has no plans to participate in season 13. 

To me, it was comical that Shannon enumerated the apologies she'd issued during the course of the season and then effectively blamed Lydia for provoking her nutty meltdowns. She certainly is consistent in ascribing culpability for her reactions to others as with Vicki and the overeating.

So this must mean Vicki and Shannon haven't really recovered.  I wonder if Vicki and Tamra lasted a little longer???

[DrivingSideways]

Tamra has been coy on her Instagram for a few weeks about Vicki, so it makes me think they're in a good place.  I was surprised at how desperate for Vicki's friendship Tamra is.  I personally love them together, so I hope it sticks.  I enjoyed Vicki and Tamra agreeing to support each other's delusions wholeheartedly ("I was conned by Brooks" "My husband is 100% straight") and move forward.  These two need a mutual enemy next season to focus on. 

I hope Shannon is in a better place next season, because she can be fun when she's not being such a drag.

I don't hate Peggy, but it was clear her husband pushed her to participate in the show, and she mentally wasn't prepared for it.  I feel for her.

Lydia is clever and comes to bring the drama.  She doesn't seem to have a lot of fans here but my circle of friends enjoy her perspective.  She's never afraid to go against the Queen Bee, which is a good attribute.

Bye, Meghan.  You were funny occasionally, but you really fell flat on your face when you attempted to mix it up with Lydia and Kelly on the reunion.  I'm fine with you being gone.

Kind of telling this was a two part reunion.  This season was largely a waste.  Andy put the girls on notice - get your shit together or I'm recasting the whole thing!

[MVFrostsMyPie]

If Peggy went home early because her expanders hurt, why couldn't she just tell the ladies she wanted to go home early because she was in pain? Jesus christ, you drama queen. Heck, if I'm having a bad fibro/chronic fatigue day/night, I tell my friends I gotta bounce (or not even hang out at all) because it would be super weird if I bounced without even saying bye. Being in pain is not an excuse to be an asshole. Also you have a fucking mouth. USE IT. Or at least have Diko call everyone's husbands so they can call their wives and tell them why you left early. 

I have to admit I snorted and choked on my popcorn when Tamra said "nothing looks good on you". That was kind of hilarious. 

Everyone needs to fire their make-up artists. Holy Avril Lavigne eyeliner and tarantula lashes! Don't they know harsh lines like that make them look even older? Maybe try doing a lighter smokey eye... I'm not crazy about Megan's eyeshadow, but at least she didn't look like someone took a sharpie to her eyes. 

Lydia, cut your damn hair, it looks like it weighs 50 lbs. 

[walnutqueen]

Well, sheeet - Peggy does ONE interesting thing & Bravo didn't show it?  Apparently she was responsible for Vicky-under-a-blanket , because she poured a bunch of water on Vicky's head & made her hair frizz.  Now THAT, I would have loved to watch!

[cork dork]

Vicki is beyond loathesome. In the midst of her denials that she never said a peep about Eddie, when she mumbled “I didn’t mean for it to go that far,” it surprised no one latched on to that as proof she lies (about everything) nor were her intentions anywhere near good. 

Everytime Lydiot rolled those ginormous eyeballs of hers, I kept hoping they’d cause her to topple over. Otherwise, she needs stuck back on the pencil she was taken off of and put back into the junk drawer.

So was twee Diko being protective having Peggy do the show while knowing she was so emotionally wrecked? It was odd she mentioned how they got to know each other the first few years after they were married (and secretly divorced). I can’t help but wonder if it was an arranged marriage. Her hairline weirdness was both fascinating and disturbing, but wasn’t enough to distract from the smug.

Yeah, and the internet said that the baby is an zygote till week 5. At week 5 the embryonic period starts. So, my questions are really rhetorical to make the point that Meghan's story makes no sense. Get it?

Nope, I don't get it, because her story makes perfect sense and your questions were posed like you did not understand how IVF works.  I don't even care if she used proper terms or not.  I'm pretty sure most people understand what she meant when she said she had an embryo implanted -- some cells that she hopes are going to become a baby were stuck in her uterus.  They take eggs from her.  They take Jimmy's sperm.  They fertilize her eggs using Jimmy's sperm in a process that takes place outside of her body.  They let those eggs go through the normal process and start dividing.  Some of those fertilized eggs become possibly viable blobs of cells.  They do genetic testing to see which are healthy and have the right chromosome counts, etc.  This genetic testing also reveals the sex.  They pick and choose which of the viable ones get stuck back into Megan to hopefully turn into a baby and be born.  Whether she used the exact right scientific terms or used the terms in a way more colloquially accepted (but she actually did use proper terms in the context of IVF), I do not doubt that Meghan went through IVF and is now pregnant.

Anyway, I think you are misinterpreting what the internet said.  The embryonic phase starts in week 5 when the embryo implants (if you are using clinical weeks), which is really just 10 days after fertilization.  That doesn't mean that's when the zygote turns into an embryo.  The zygote is no longer a zygote once cell division occurs.   There are differing opinions on if the cells should be called an embryo between fertilization and implantation.  Other terms suggested are pre-embryo or conceptus.  It seems a lot of this stems in the abortion and research debates.  Further complicating what you wrote, if you look around there are differing ways on counting weeks -- clinical and developmental.  Depending on how you count, if you are doing things the old fashioned way the baby/zygote/embryo is already in week 3 by the time the parents have sex.  If you are boning in week 3 and it takes ~2 weeks to travel from the Fallopian tube to the uterus and implant, then it's in week 5 at implantation.  So that's how you get the embryonic phase starting at week 5 -- but conception was only ~2 weeks prior and you are in developmental week 2.  I don't know how Meghan is counting weeks pregnant, but I doubt she's using clinical and saying the embryo was implanted that day.  She's probably counting from conception or implantation.  Anyway, I'm not trying to get a masters in embryology or even biology so I'll refrain on all further debate on the topic since I'm not an expert and it doesn't really interest me that much.

 

In other news, this reunion was pretty boring and the make up with Vicki at the end was lame.

Lydia isn't a keeper either.  The game just moves too fast for her to keep up.

Alexis was the fun kind of stupid. I found her very likable after the rest of the women turned on her, because it was so undeserved (like she was never the most shallow, mean, stupid, crazy or materialistic, not even close), but their criticism of her still made some sense, and letting her answer for it a bit was fun/cringy to watch. She always tried her best to act like a christian and there have been moments in the past few season when I felt she was sorely missed. I would take her over Kelly, Lydia and Peggy any day (not to mention Vicky but the reason for not wanting her back are different).

"Rich" and clueless, with some mean on the side is what I want to see most in a show like this. Not just full on psycho, cruel, mind-numbingly stupid yet boring shite.

Everyone can make up with Vicki because they either want to keep their job on the show or they just want to move on and have fun “woo hooing”, but I will never forget. My mum died from cancer at the too-young age of 48yrs so I am not forgetting anytime soon. Vicki lied to support the story that her scammer boyfriend spun that he had cancer. Vicki can state she got scammed too, but she is not accepting any responsibility for the fact that she lied on multiple occasions to support/validate his story. Lies about going to his doctors appointments, having a folder of information about his treatments, that Terry Dubrow came over to hook Brookes up to an IV, etc etc.

There is also the cancer insurance and cancer curing juice scam...but that hasn’t been on the show...

Soooooo... to recap: I will never forget how atrocious Vicki’s lying has been. Never.

[bichonblitz]

Well, there you have it, folks. The set up for next season. The alliance of Tamra, Shannon and Vicki. Whether they like it or not they are going to be thrown together and show us how fun and crazy they are together. Lucy, Ethel and the third wheel.

I really hate that make-up with the three girls. I never really had much for Tamra, but I lost a lot of respect for Shannon in that moment. How dare you let Vicki win??? Let her get what she wants??? This isn't just toxic Vicki who is sometimes an asshole. This is a woman who has spread lies/rumors about BOTH of your husbands and helped HER man fake cancer. I will never, not for one second, believe that Vicki was totally in the dark in regards to Brooks's schemes. I would NEVER EVER tolerate her ass again. So I don't know what those two are thinking. I'm trying to give Shannon the benefit of the doubt. Maybe in the emotional place she's in due to her separation she just can't handle another feud, but dang.....I was hoping she'd hold out. 

I love how they all laughed about Vicki's off label usage of Xanax and NyQuil in a foreign country. 

 

So Megan's pregnant again. Big surprise. I wish her a healthy pregnancy. 

 

I hope Peggy is done. This woman does not know how to reality TV. I feel for her, with the loss of her father and going through such serious surgeries. But she never once expressed that any of that was the reason behind her behavior. And she never apologized, to my knowledge. Many of these women were issuing apologies (some more sincere than others), but Peggy couldn't tell Megan sorry for pinching her lips or insulting her parenting? 

 

Not much else to say. Kind of boring stuff here. Interesting that there were only two parts. OC is circling the drain. They need to make major changes next season.

And I'll never not believe that she didn't intend for Kelly to show up at the Quiet Woman, knowing that Shannon had beef with her. She stirs shit with a smile, and deserves every repercussion that comes her way.

I found myself rolling my eyes more than Lydia at these women.  Vicki is and always will be a cancer scammer.  Judging by Shannon's face during the hug, I also think she was forced into that hug.  Lydia is just awful.  Making faces throughout the reunion, calling Shannon a liar when she was the liar denying telling Kelly to be at that bar, and just being unChristian-like with her eye rolling and plan for a designer baby.  Peggy needs to go and get herself together.  She should have never been on this show in the first place while in such a bad emotional place.  Her bitch face and inability to apologize to Meaghan did not make her look good.  Agree with everyone about their hair and make-up.  Terrible.  Glad this season is over and hope there will be more likable women on next year to replace Lydia and Peggy.

What reputation? Armenians have no use for reputations. Nor excuses, and they certainly don't admit when they are in pain or when they need concern. Strong like bull (shit) actually.

I can't stand Vicki!  And if I want to see Lucy and Ethel I'll watch "I Love Lucy"  ugh.. Tamara is stupider than I thought if she stays friends with her!  boo!

Yeah - I am not a fan of the phony make-up hug.  I know this is a job and they have to make nice and get along for the sake of the show.  My personal take on it is if I had a friend that ever went that low on me, we would no longer be friends.  But Tamra's got to do what she has to do.  It's not Show Friends, it's Show Business.

Vicki lied for her BF, it's known, everyone knows what she did.  She protected him, not her friendships.  

Lydia - didn't like her at all.

Peggy - Vehemently didn't like her at all.  Can't stand her smug non-affect face.

Megan - She doesn't really live in OC, I can't see how they will explain her being on another season, living in a rental house, raising her kids in a different city from her hubs.  ??

Shannon & Kelly - Looking forward to seeing these two again next season navigating the divorced life.

I never really had much for Tamra, but I lost a lot of respect for Shannon in that moment.

Judging how pained she looked during the threesome hug-it-out, I have a feeling she doesn't have a choice. If she wants to stay on the show (and I can't figure out why she would would want to do that), BRAVO probably told her they would have to film together and make nice. I mean, really, what else are they going to do next season?

I’ve never been a Shannon fan, but I’ve always loved that she is authentic in her feelings toward Vicki.  I liked that she held her feet to the fire and didn’t back down on the apology thing.  It was disappointing to see the stupid group hug, however she was in a no win situation.  I don’t see how she could say no and not look bad. 

I really hate the reference to Lucy and Ethel as far as Vicki and Tamara go.  Lucy and Ethel were amazing comedians and the comparison is blasphemy in my book!!  Vicki is just a garbage person.  She lied about Eddie, she lied about the cancer scam and guess what --- trying to shame Eddie in the way that she did was homophobic.  Of course, saying any of those awful things she did will never upset her as much as telling her she looks ugly!!  Such priorities! 

I like Meghan and I’m glad that she makes clear arguments and doesn’t back down.  I know some say she’s boring, but she’s the voice of reason and I think she is needed.  I’m happy for her on her pregnancy.  She and Jim make beautiful babies!!

Peggy and Lydiot are complete asses!!  Both a couple of self-righteous jerks.  I’m so glad Diko looks after Peggy so well that he put her on a show when she was physically and emotionally fragile.  Great husband, that one!  I really wonder what is the true state of their finances.  Lydiot is a manipulative, passive aggressive mean girl.  They can’t get rid of those two fast enough.  I also wonder about her finances with the Noballman Magazine, etc., but we all know mommy will pay her bills, so she doesn’t need to worry about it.

Yeah but who's Kenny?! 

Didn't Kelly declare herself to be Kenny in Iceland?

It was when they were geared up to go on the hike and then Kelly said I have to go to the bathroom

Kenny is the Southpark kid that always needs to pee after he's all bundled up.

What we just witnessed with that vomit-inducing hug ladies and gents, was Bravo and Andy Cohen telling these women that they had better get their shit together if they wanted this show to see another year. The most boring reunion ever recapping the most boring season in history. Geez, just the fact that they only had enough to make the reunion 2 episodes says it all. They can usually drag out even the most mundane season with 3 reunion episodes. But not this one. 

Andy has said in the past that Tamra is the most perfect HW because she does her job. And she did just that last night. It was her emotion (real or fake, I have no idea) that brought on the reconciliation. Her willingness to forgive the vile things that Vicki has done and said - both on the show and off - that made it all possible. She is doing her job which Andy will appreciate.
