I listened to Tamra and she claims there was a lot of unused footage of she and her granddaughter, who appeared for all of 18 seconds.  Jeff Lewis apparently decorated Shannon's house, took time off to film and none of it was used.  I think they have to wait to see what is aired.  It would also eliminate the fake viewer questions-okay I don't know if they are fake.  They quit filming scenes May 29th and the show started airing June 20th.  That is a pretty fast turn round.  I do like they filmed the Reunion 18 days before it aired-seems fresher.  

Are you KIDDING me? I would LOVE to see Jeff Lewis and Shannon in the same room. Man, what a missed opportunity.

This is honestly my least-liked group of women. Really can't stand any of them. Ryan is delusional if he thinks they have to put in extra effort to make him look bad.

Tamra was saying she was hoping for a lost footage episode.  She also said her son hates the show because they work so hard to make him out to look bad. 

BWAH! Yeah, right, Ryan.

We didn't really see much of him this season, did we?

Here is a exchange from Part 1 of the Reunion- http://www.bravotv.com/watch-what-happens-live/season-13/episode-179/videos/a-sneak-peek-of-the-rhoc-reunion

Shannon is a calculated person?  I guess Kelly means calculating.  I think the only time she saw the ASU campus was when she jumped out of cakes at frat parties.

I don't think Kelly comprehends being a dirty fighter is not something some aspires to be.  She enters every situation paranoid, on the defensive and expecting a big welcome and heartfelt apologies.

They showed them shopping on Flipping Out, of course it was totally fake because they showed him picking out a bunch of the items that are in her house and then she goes to lunch and she tells them that she just had everyone over to the new house for a party and that there was a fight.

Oh cry me a river, Ryan Vieth. Yes, I am sure the producers and editors at Bravo are all putting in extra hours just to make you look bad. It has nothing to do with your own behavior. There is just this show-wide conspiracy to make you, a supporting player, look bad. It must be so hard being poor, persecuted you. Like mother, like son.

Someone should probably explain to him the only effort needed to make him look bad is turning on the camera.

First she says Shannon has a hairy chin, next she implies Shannon has a figure like a T-83. For a woman who looks like a drawing out of Daria she sure likes to slam others appearances.

They show one at the end of the show, on WWHL they show a second one and then show both clips on Bravo's web site a day or so later.

A new complete first look-Heather explaining her actions and words at the Sushi dinner-at one point Heather quits.  It shows some unaired footage.  http://www.eonline.com/news/808420/the-real-housewives-of-orange-county-fight-that-almost-made-heather-dubrow-quit

Kelly sees no problem with her behavior-"she was pushed".  She brought up the woman, Nina, Nina was not there.  Kelly doesn't get there is a difference between swearing, telling someone to STFU and name calling.  Andy delivers the final blow.

I can now see why heather reacted the way she did.  It was the last place she saw her late brother in law.

[zoeysmom]

Just a reminder what Kelly said in her blog about Sushi night:  http://www.bravotv.com/the-real-housewives-of-orange-county/season-11/blogs/kelly-dodd/kelly-dodd-i-admit-i-was-wrong-in

There is something in Kelly that makes her incapable of understanding, no one gave two cents about what Nina said.  Least of all needed to sympathize with her plight.  Kelly quoted Nina correctly, "I don't suck dick to pay my bills."  Kelly's name wasn't even mentioned.   Kelly's own behavior that night at the 70s party stands on its own.  She called Shannon ugly among other things.  I also find it funny Kelly is directing the mothers of her daughter's friend to not let the kids watch.  I bet those parents tuned in to see just what the hell happened.  Why Kelly thinks she or anyone else has the power to make others act on her behalf, see what ever conspiracy she sees is beyond me.

Wow, great footage.  I wish they would do this more often - show the unaired footage at the reunion. They so rarely do this.

Good for Heather. Folks gave her such shit at the time and said she was just faking when she was crying in the limo. Looks like her reaction was real to what had happened. The fact that she was able to sit down with Kelly a few days later and let her have her say says a lot about Heather. I do think she can be bossy and hypocritical, but I have always felt like she had a core set of values that the others on this show lack. She can sometimes act like she is better, but the fact is, she is better.

It was interesting how everyone else just sat there after Heather rightfully flipped.  I agree with Heather, if your daughter was out with a group and someone acted out-for a second time-the way Kelly did, a mom's advice would be to cut her off.  What was eerie, and I am wondering how much time it took, was how Kelly seemed to shift seamlessly into apology mode when the others were clearly a little shell shocked. 

I think of Heather as more guarded and she did accept Vicki's apology and set up a fresh start this season.  I think Shannon has been difficult for production because she was so steadfast about Vicki.  If someone's idea of an apology was to say I am sorry and you are vile and disgusting I don't think I would budge.

Kelly's tear filled apology wasn't real, it was just another production fueled moment for Kelly to be the center of attention.  What Kelly fails to see is some random woman, who shows up at one party, makes a couple of comments, doesn't drive the show.  Her behavior throughout the party was far more appalling as was her husband.  I do not know what she expected the other women to say about Nina's comments-they were crude and base, but amazingly close to some of the vitriol Kelly spews.  Kelly has been interrupting the entire Reunion and it is annoying.

[Giselle]

Her interrupting and Andy's lack of keeping her in check has made me only watch this once and delete.

[FamilyVan]

Re: Nina - I assume that this woman is divorced, since when Megan went her her Dr he said that was his ex-wife.  If I can interpret her comment, this seems to me something kind of innocuous.  There is a certain transactional aspect to being married to a wealthy man, especially when it seems like the relationship is strained.  That is how I took Nina's comments.  Being divorced I get what she meant.  Sometimes you see marriages and you are like at least I don't have to put up with what she has to in order to live comfortably.  For Kelly to flip out so much I would say the comment hit the mark.

According to Kelly's e-fiancé's girlfriend, which of course involved a restraining order, she felt Kelly used the fiancé.  So the comment which the woman said, "I don't suck dick to pay my bills," may be rooted in the fact Kelly could not get a favorable financial settlement and moved into the "fiancé's" marital home and used him to survive her move form San Francisco to Orange County.

Why is it all we subjected to is the fighting, anything fun or interesting to see if their lives is an afterthought, left on the cutting room floor or given a pathetically short end of season single episode.

I want to see fun not constant fighting.

Kind of ho-hum-the ladies relive Glamis-there is a moment where Andy asks Heather what was going through her mind, watch Vicki's face, it is like she adding up how much she can settle her injuries for-mid six figures, maybe even seven, if I play this right.  http://www.bravotv.com/the-real-housewives-of-orange-county/season-11/episode-21/videos/the-wives-remember-the-scary-dune  I think all the messing with Vicki's face has lengthened her philtrum and surrounding area, she is verging on Huckleberry Hound territory.

Oh, she is supposed to leave her son, who witnessed the accident BTW, and drive to see Vicki in the ER? No. LOL.  Vicki wasn't admitted and I doubt the hospital had parking for that large RV in their parking lot. Why didn't Kelly go, her husband could have taken her as he/their daughter drove there in their own family car. Don't get me wrong, I don't think anyone needed to go until they knew more but Heather was also in that accident and Meghan knew that when she tried to shift guilt on Heather at the reunion.

If Heather thought it was so important for someone to go to the hospital, she should have gone herself rather than judge Meghan harshly for something she didn't bother to do either. Heather's probably projecting her own guilt onto Meghan.

Heather had just been in a bad accident and her son witnessed it! No, there was no guilt in her not going to the hospital 3 hours away to see Vicki when 2 people were 2.5 hours closer to that hospital. Even Meghan admitted that she should have listened to what Heather said instead of blowing it off like she did. LOL

I honestly thought that was one of the stupidest things Meghan has ever said and I was surprised that Captain Concussion (Jim) didn't say something about his own experiences. Meghan hears that they were in a rollover accident, the roll bar is damaged, Tamra is in the hospital, Vicki is being flown to a different hospital, and Heather sounds weird on the phone. It should have obvious that the accident was pretty serious even if it didn't result in major injuries.

I was in a rollover car accident about 15 years ago. I was a passenger. My friend was the driver. We were going to a conference. The weather was bad. She lost control of the car. We spun out of control and rolled down an embankment. When we stopped moving, the car was upside down and at the bottom of a ravine. I actually spun in my seat belt and wound up facing the seat. There were no major injuries.

When the ambulance came, my friend reported some abdominal pain. I didn't have any pain or injuries. The EMTs were going to take my friend to the hospital and leave me on the side of a major highway as it snowed 8 inches. I was in shock and so out of it that I didn't object. My friend who was in the back if the ambulance was the one who cursed them out. She went after them saying "you don't know if there's something wrong with her. Bring her to the hospital." She yelled at them for making me carry our bags. And much like Heather, I was pretty together immediately after the accident. I turned off the car. Called 911. Checked to see if my friend was conscious or injured. I went through that checklist to see if she had any pain or loss of feeling in her extremities, head, neck, or back. But like immediately after the moment I made sure we weren't dying or terribly injured I just shut down and everything seemed like a daze. It's why I didn't object when they wanted to leave on the side of the highway or when they made me carry the schlep the bags when I really might have had an injury. I was dead silent and I'm really not like that normally.

Then a couple of hours later I just crashed because I was more exhausted than I've ever been.

It's why I can't judge Heather for not going to see Vicki. Her head and body were not in the right space to make that trip even if someone else drove.

[mbaywife123]

I think the next season should be:

Heather/Terry & kids.

Shannon/David & kids

Tamra/Eddie & grandchild

Meghan/Jim & new baby

No Vicki, No Brianna, No Kelly!

Go back to the old school concept of filming the families and their stories and one end of the season trip maybe an all family one to Atlantis resort with all of the families and their kids with a season BBQ at Heather or Shannon's with no shouting or ugliness just house, shopping,lunching,final trip porn! 

Beyond tired of all of the nastiness on all of the housewives franchises. Let's get happy again or dump these shows !

That ship sailed once tables were flipped in NJ and wigs were snatched in Atlanta.

As much as we here on this site might be nostalgic for the "old days", I do think the majority of the viewers prefer the nasty bitchiness. And that is probably who the show will cater to (besides catering to Andy Cohen's real life Dynasty wet dreams).

It is hard to go back, but I wonder how much of the decline in ratings for many of these shows is due to viewers rejecting the acrimony. Atlanta has always had the highest ratings. Even with a couple of snatched wigs, Atlanta has always been a funny bitchy show without a ton of lasting consequences for their bitchery. I feel like the lasting consequences are things that viewers have a problem with. Vicki and Brooks faking cancer was bad, but Vicki's campaign this season to ruin the lives and reputations of the women and their husbands is something I can't forgive. It's the same way that I can't continue to watch NJ because Teresa and Jacqueline want to cause each other considerable permanent irreparable harm.

[AndySmith]

To be fair, this franchise is a decade old at this point; declining ratings, regardless of the mood and style of the show, should be expected. Especially when coupled in with changing viewer habits and technology and all that.

Now, of course the shows probably did lose some viewers with the move towards a more nasty, confrontational tone, but I don't think we can say for sure if that is why the shows have declined in ratings.

Here's the real shocker from looking at that list!

150. The Curse of Oak Island
154. Vanderpump Rules

How is "The Curse of Oak Island" more popular than any other show, except for possibly "Ancient Aliens"? I've watched parts of two episodes of that show and had to stop because I was on the verge of becoming comatose! But especially with Oak Island coming in ahead of Vanderpump Rules, how?!? How is that possible?!?! Vanderpump Rules is a lot more exciting and interesting than Oak Island! (And I've only seen a few episodes of Vanderpump Rules, too.)

Yes.  She said she needed to go in a different direction.  Meghan moved back to St Louis to be near Jim  with the new baby. I also read that Jim didn't like how he was portrayed, as being a giant asshole.  Supposedly, Lydia is coming back.

Amazing how that works, isn't it? Act like a giant asshole when the camera crews are around and you get depicted as acting like a giant asshole. He has no one to blame but himself.
