I’ve got some wine open and will share. 

Shannon spitting into her glass and then drinking it was gross! 

[pieinmyeye]

Three minutes in and I’m already telling Gina to shut up. Talk about a turd in the punchbowl. I can’t stand her, Tamara has returned to her shit stirring pot, and Emily always looks she smelled a fart.

Thanks. I feel somewhat better now.

[AnnA]

Ugh!   I hate Gina! 

[LilaFowler]

The next time Gina runs from the table and ends up bawling on the phone to her ex, the rest should just shrug and say, "It is what it is!!"

Can dish it out but can't take it. Can't stand this ugly bitch.

[whydoievencare]

Shannon always seems to be operating at a nine - it doesn't take very much for things to escalate to ten or, god forbid, higher.  Even when she IS having a good time, it's at a fevered pitch.  She acts like she's the only one who is having a difficult time and she isn't.  Gina (who is a bitch) is going through a divorce, Kelly's just gone through a divorce, Tamra is dealing with Eddie's health issues.  Shannon's getting to be pretty tiresome.

[albarino]

I am completely back to hating Tamra. What a waste.  Didn't we have to live through all of her divorce from David shit?  Get a belly button.  Oh, and Bass Lake?

[Straycat80]

It’s pick on Shannon night. She does derserve it though. They are right, rich bitch problems. 

[LilaFowler]

Wow. Shannon is not going to be happy after she sees this episode. At least Vicki is trying to be sympathetic and not catty. Tamra is gleefully gossiping about Shannon's problems right now. She's such a lousy friend.

[Mindthinkr]

I think Shannon is black out drunk (but functional) and cannot read the room. 

[Pickles]

Shannon has so much anger about her divorce, it is spilling out onto everyone. She needs to be in therapy, if she isn’t already. 

[pieinmyeye]

I think Tamara needs to be rebaptized because the first one looks like it has worn off.

[Straycat80]

It’s got to be exhausting to be friends with any of these ho’s. If you are not supportive (in their minds), don’t say I love you or constantly ask how are you, then you are not a good friend. That’s high maintenance friendship.

It washed off in the Jamaican river water. You know when her boobs came out of the water before she did. 

[dosodog]

I learned a lot about divorce and tbe feelings it stirs up from RHONY.

It is different for everyone.  Some deal with it differently.

A true friend, who is sincerely concerned, doesn't gossip about you or whine about you or stir people up about you.

They also don't publicly berate you over depression. They don't expect you to "flip a switch".  They support you and gently direct you and talk to you about behavior that doesn't help you.

Oh I agree with you but don’t think that’s how they keep their apples or oranges. Cause drama or be gone seems to be a theme script for these shows.

STOP SCREAMING FOR ONCE!!!! —Tamra, screeching

Yes!  Thank you.

They need to let Shannon have some time to herself.  I think she feels ganged up on.

And Vicki says Shannon didn't support her?  In her lies?

Tamra is vile.  Never trusted her.

[Pickles]

Kelly  is right. There is nothing wrong with medication. It would definitely help Shannon.

Perhaps.  But not sure this is the right time or place to suggest it.  Later, one-on-one would be better.

That being the case, hopefully Gina and Emily will be gone after this season. They are duller than dishwater.

[chewycandy]

You don’t flip a switch on depression.

Tamra can’t help the bully in her. She is really “helping” Shannon by yelling at her to keep crying.

Yes, Shannon has the money for plastic eye surgery so she can afford a therapist and some medication, plus I think she’s still probably going thru menopause.

Sometimes, hell, MOST of the time, when one needs medication or therapy, you're the last one to know it.

I realized it 4 1/2 years later because of RHONY that I should have had therapy.

Gina is all about Gina. I can't stand her.  I'd rather have fancy pants back.

[Mindthinkr]

Vicki calling Shannon...since when did Vicki develop a sympathy gene? 

[LilaFowler]

Fancy Pants would have contained that fight. It spiraled out of control, with everyone screaming at each other to stop screaming.

[whydoievencare]

Tamra, although she can be an unholy bitch, has been a good friend to Shannon while she's been dealing with her divorce from David.  To be fair, I think that anyone would get tired of Shannon's constant and unending neediness and negativity.  Also the fact that the friendship seems to be so one-sided.  We can all provide support to a friend, but there comes a point where it just isn't healthy for anyone when the one friend just goes on and on about the same old shit and gets stuck - that's where Shannon is and she clearly needs to be speaking to a therapist, with/without medication.  Shannon has always had an issue with the new girl(s) but she surely knows how to be civil in a group, doesn't she?  OTOH I don't know why Emily and Gina can't just leave her the fuck alone - who wants to be poked at all the time as to why you're not being the friendliest person ever.  Really, why do they care?  I thought David was a complete asshole, but Shannon kind of is too. I think they both would have been horrors to be married to.

[Mr. Miner]

I like Shannon, but I really want someone to throat punch her.

[Thumper]

Tams is happy because she can hop into bed with Vick's now -- BFFs -- excluding Shannon.

Ugh, these women.

[Mindthinkr]

I think that Shannon is even tired of Shannon, which is why she seems to be drinking so much (to be numb). 

[Thumper]

OMG, Vicki's lacy bare clothing --- just no.

[Straycat80]

My poor ears. All these women have done this episode is scream their heads off. 

[Mindthinkr]

The bobsled ride was named Mystic Mountain but shouldn’t it have been called Cool Runnings? 

It looked like fun! 

[ivygirl]

Vicki is a Medium the way that Brooks had cancer.

[pieinmyeye]

Vicki to Shannon; blah, blah, blah and you never brought me a casserole!

Insert evil laugh here.

[ivygirl]

In other news, Vicki knows the word “volatile” and can use it correctly in a sentence.

And here we go again... “Happy to Divorce” Gina gripes about what Shannon has. 

?

[pieinmyeye]

Oh Vicki, plunging necklines are no longer your friend. ?

[esco1822]

When are these women going to understand that a group confrontation never ends well? Tamra had really good results when she spoke to Shannon one on one. So did Kelly. Shannon asked for space, give her some space. Tamra is pissed that she got caught talking crap about her friend and tries to deflect from that fact any way she knows how, including yelling F you at Shannon. I get that Shannon is exhausting right now so why not let her just take her space instead of screaming about her always escalating things. She’s literally trying to de-escalate herself and Tamra and Kelly (who is TOTALLY) stirring the pot just continue whipping her into a frenzy. If I were in Shannon’s position I’d be pretty upset too. 

[ghoulina]

ALL of these women are messed up. 

Shannon continues to be sooo rude, with her sarcastic remarks about how riveting the dinner conversation is. Just awful. 

And she's borderline paranoid. She's got a real persecution complex going on.

But the other women don't help, all piling on her at once. Their points are valid, but Shannon isn't going to take you seriously if you all come at her like that. 

Gina is deliberately antagonistic and seems to really get off on causing a bunch of trouble. 

Tamra is a crappy friend. I get her frustration, but now she's just airing every damn issue Shannon has. P. S. If your friend asks for 10 minutes, give her 10 minutes. 

 

I just really didn't feel comfortable with the way they were all sitting around discussing Shannon. She's being a spoiled brat, no doubt. A downer. A soul suck. But the imbalance just rubs me wrong. I can't help it. 

[Hockey Addict]

This show needs help and FAST! Here Bravo, here's some ideas.

Have Jeana, Lauri, Brooks, and the rest surprise Vicky in a family van at the reunion carrying casseroles. After they enter and sit the casseroles down they sit on the couch. Andy walks in and declares a hunger games type of reunion. Bravo cameras will take them in said family vans to CUT fittness where they will have to compete to stay on the show. Shane Simpson is the judge. The winners also get to eat the casseroles. 

The losers will have to go on dates with either Jim Bellino or Brooks. At the sushi place. 

[BodhiGurl]

Tamra is the worst. The absolute worst. Can she leave the show and take her ridiculous husband. I can believe she shared that messy text with the ladies - I'd like to say I can't believe it - but I can.  Shannon is a hot mess but she certainly didn't need her so called friend Tamass dragging her left and right. Yeesh. I guess the Bravo paycheck is worth all this emotional stress. I'm approaching 50 and I've had enough with stupid drama from people around me - I can't imagine being in my 50's and still feeding off drama... blah. I know this show thrives on this stuff but it's gone beyond reason...  And what in fresh hell is happening when Vicki has moments of clarity and kindness? 

[FlyingEgret]

I'm shocked that the resort made the women move their own luggage to the new villa...

[lamujerdecente]

Vicks  was truly the picture of a bloated sow. In that lace Monstrosity.tbank u editors. The way  these bitches kiss that sow's fat entitled (if a Brazilian butt lift bitch but no lipo, tummy tuck, ran out of money) is gross. She ain't fooling me especially with her stomach dig at Shannon. "Extra large" T-shirt.Has this bloated sow looked in the mirror? 

Vicks actually has the body to carry curves well. She just dresses so terribly and tacky. Ugh 

And she is horrid.

Tamra is a gas lighting c word. Evil to  the  core that one. That said Shannon is  exhausting. She makes it easy for these evil heifers.

[dosodog]

I love your idea, but I want Tamra banished to Jersey.

[Hockey Addict]

That would make great tv!

[Mu Shu]

Two things I never need to see again.  Vicki’s tired tits hanging out.  Vicki’s waddle ass hanging out.  Vicki twerking.  Vicki’s 5 months pregnant with twins gut hanging out. So that’s 4 things.

shannon is a lot of things, but there are two things she isn’t-cancer scammer.  They can fuck right off with the Shannon pile on, it’s Tired.

vicki looked horrendous.  The worst she’s ever looked.  That’s hard to top. Still apiece if dhit cancer scammer.  Fuck off you sow.  Never letting you back to even mildly dislike status.  You rumpkin.

[Maire]

The shade of Vicki buying Shannon an XL   t shirt while she advises she’s a medium ??
