Well, RHOC is no longer must see TV… or even must record telly.  Even when I bother to watch the recorded program four days later, I miss large portions as household chores draw my attention, and I fast forward through the other boring bits.  On a positive note, I have become much more productive in the evenings.  And I always enjoy everyone’s observations and bon mots.  It does speak volumes that I have learned more about effective cat litter disposal in these four pages than anything else.

I was grateful that there were no little ones in this episode… I have raised four so have complete understanding and compassion for those challenges, but no wish to re-experience them in my evening entertainment.

I love everyone’s comments because I find you so very witty, intelligent, and your comments and opinions thought provoking.

I admit, I have no time for Vicky after her complicit behavior in the cancer scam and find her attempts to spin the facts this season, painting herself as a victim, truly appalling.

Like others, I find myself wondering why I support the coarse and vulgar Kelly, for whom I had no respect in previous seasons.

 It occurred to me why, as I watched this episode.  Kelly lacks self-awareness until after the fact.  She lashes out with horrible, unspeakable vitriol because she is hurt.  Stung, hurt, she goes into attack mode inflicting barbs on those she perceives have hurt her. She admits “same. 

Vicky, on the other hand, completely lacks self-awareness.  She has proven, time and again, that she is ignorant, boorish, and bigoted, yet continues to hold herself as the epitome of “klass”, not stooping to her colleagues’ level.  The scene with Steve, gloating about how they are “above it all” had me choking on my beverage.  And although Vicky perceives herself as the OG of the OC, this is the second time that she has ditched coarse Kelly as soon as the cool girls, Tamra and Shannon, accepted her back in their fold.

The difference is, that Vicky, time and again, says terrible, hurtful, nasty things, not in the heat of temper, but with the very malevolent and deliberate intention to hurt.   And if she has to use a mouthpiece to avoid blame, she will do it.   I find it interesting that of all the horrible things that have originated with Vicky, she chose to slander Eddie, rather than Tamra.   I am guessing that she chose that not only because Eddie couldn’t be bothered with Vicky, but also, Vicky knew she couldn’t handle the backlash/venom if she attacked Tamra personally.  Vicky truly is a despicable person.  Steve has always seemed a vanilla, bland individual onscreen, but I now wonder what sort of individual he is if he is truly interested in Vicky.

This. This. This. 

I read on Steve. He’s just as bigoted and racist as the Love tank deprived stank. When Kelly made that dinero coment, it was a thinly viewed attempt to shed light on his trying to change his name to a Latin name to garner the latino vote. 

 

Race relations are in the toilet these days. For that alone Vicky sucks ass. Her bigotry. Her casual racism. Her own misogyny. Her own comparing herself to Jesus.  It’s just an added layer for this bitch to actually play victim when she concocted a cancer scam to make cash. 

Like women who lie about rape, lying about cancer is unforgivable in my book. Cancer in this country can not just kill u, it can bankrupt u and put u in the poorhouse, homeless. I seen it. 

 

The thing is Steve might just be this asshole’s undoing. He wants her to act classy but her whole appeal was her lack of self awareness trash can behavior. It was amusing to watch her act like a desperate fool. I mean is she appealing for her looks?

her fashion sense?

her Olive Garden foodieness?

her lovely benolovent personality?

Now? 

She’s just a sad sack of sanctimonious outrage. 

With the moral compass of a hungry water bug. 

Steven ain’t too bright if he’s with her for cash because I don’t buy she’s “rich “. 

We could all be rich like these chicks if the credit is good and the 500,000 paycheck. 

And that’s a big part of vicki’s “Empire”. 

And I am sorry but she’s boring AF. I fast forward her scenes or do laundry when it’s her time. 

 

Kelly is to me a reality tv Dream. And Shannon. 

They are themselves. Narcissism. Crazy. And all.

When I saw the previews I couldn't believe Vickie. Who the Hell does she think she is? 2 divorces and Brooks? Spouting off about moral compasses! Hers must have blown apart after the last few years. Get a mirror please (said like Danielle from NJ). 

I don’t have the best sense of direction. When I was in Girl Scouts eons ago I only got my compass merit badge because I knew to partner up with the person with the best sense of direction to do our “trek”. 

Vicki, on the other hand, couldn’t find a moral compass even if she trippped over it.

For the first time I´m literally angry at Shannon, why did she have to go there about cats?

I noticed that Cameron in Dallas (the boring pink Barbie) has a cat and a dog, that´s a big bonus for her where I´m concerned. Cats are the best, they´re so wonderful, true friends, easy to live with etc etc, and people who talk badly about them (or the men who love them) need to check themselves. Urrrrr.

So when Kelly was saying that Steve was in it for the money w/ Vicki, she spit out "the dinero" with a bit of an accent. That was some coded racism directed at Steve's Latin heritage, right?

I enjoy Kelly and Steve is a big zero to me, but I heard what I heard and want it noted!

Kelly's maiden name is Meza -- how could using a Hispanic accent be racism?

So, when people have nails like that, I can't imagine them doing normal, real-life stuff. For example, cutting the grass, diapering a baby, typing on a keyboard, scrubbing the bathroom. Can people with long manicured nails do work? Are there workarounds? I mean, besides just hiring someone else to do the work? 

It would drive me nuts not to be able to perform normal functions. But those are normal functions for me.

I always wonder:  How do you "wipe" with those things on the ends of your fingers?

I am not weighing in on whether or not Kelly was being racist ^above, but I will say that I believe one can be racist about one's own race.  Sounds weird I know, but I've seen it.

Not a Tamra fan, but I do like that she does everyday things on camera like starting dinner, and dealing with laundry and packing. 

Vicki’s lame ass birthday celebration was stupid. She is too hyper focused on her camera persona. ( and she still comes across like an ass)

I like Emily- she is smart, seems like a good friend and has a weird husband and mother in law !! ??

Shannon’s blind date reminded me of Steve Martin’s character in It’s Complicated- a sensitive guy trying to heal after a long marriage / ugly divorce. This guy doesn’t drink enough to be compatible with Shannon though ( could tell by how he ordered his cocktail). 

Who does Gina think she’s fooling with her divorce narrative?! They have obviously not been together as a couple for some time.

I personally think Kelly's use if the word, dinero, was just snarkism.  Not racially motivated.

Thank you Anne Thrax, that was an interesting and enlightening read.

I have never been charmed by Vicky.  From the outset, she has demonstrated rude, bigoted behaviour.    I thought she was at her best when she was with Donn who seemed to soften her rough edges.  While there are always two sides, I believed she treated him abominably throughout those early seasons.  With Tamra’s arrival, I thought Vicky sank to new lows, but in retrospect, I wonder if Vicky isn’t the magnetic core, drawing nasty, duplicitous, unethical, like-minded individuals into her orbit.  I never bought the zany, wacky image she tries desperately to portray; she simply tries too hard at it. Nor do I buy the doting “Aunt Vicky” she is working at, first with Peggy’s children last season and Gina’s little ones this year.  Cross Vicky, Gina, and see how well she treats your children’s mother.

Having read a little about Steve’s background, Vicky’s subdued behaviour, at Steve’s behest, is even more laughable.  “Birds of a feather, flock together.”

And why must we be subjected to Vicky’s birthday parties every year?  Three years running, they have all been rather pathetic, including last year’s which seemed more of an excuse, once again, to have others vocalize Vicky’s gossip and lies.

I couldn’t help smile when the Lodge family barely masked their lack of enthusiasm for Steve to “put a ring on it”.  It speaks volumes, given his apparent background, that they do not want him to have a permanent relationship with the likes of Vicky Gunvalson.  It also begs the question as to why Vicky, who voraciously claims independence, is so desperate to be married again.  Why does she have such a pathological need to be in a relationship?  She needs to be on her own for awhile and learn to enjoy her own company.... never mind.

I don't think it's ever a wise idea to tell a housewife she's drunk, and NEVER tell her she's "turning".

 

My best survival tips for the husbands would be:  

if at all possible, don't engage in any conversation.

Know that any and every thing you say will be used against your wife. 

Politely excuse yourself and walk away, or better yet, claim to have a meeting/work/no childcare and avoid the social gathering all together, tho you will need to make occasional appearances so we know you actually exist.

 

Now that I think of it, Bethenny may have had the best solution when she told Dennis to just stand by a table.

[Petunia13]

I liked Shannon's date. ??

[goofygirl]

But then, Bethenny's Dennis bought the farm didn't he? 

Shannon needs to tread lightly when it comes to CATS!! Like those 4 cuties above! Clean litter box people, etc.  Hey! I'm there. Got 4 fur babies right here right now.  Used to have.... Oh well, more than 4. Old age happens to all of us.

On to the Vickster.  The most ridiculous thing she told Gina was that she would have "fought harder" for her marriage to Donn 10 years ago. WTF????  Wasn't she already knocking boots with Brooks then?  Like what, Vicks; you would have NOT gotten all up in it with Brooks? Your love tank filler?

What an ass.

She is prob embarrassed to admit he’s over her and has had a few chicks on the side. Then she blames Shannon saying she revved up Kelly. Ugh fuck off Gina.

I was just using that as a ballpark..but Vicki is always adamant about her man not being with her for her money...and yes she sure is desperate,uncomfortably so...also her crap with Gina not trying hard enough (hello love tank) and single mom?
