I can't believe I used to feel sorry for trash bag ryan.  His outside matches his inside.  

I definitely felt Vicki's absence.  The show was so boring.  I'm about to look at what the ratings were when Heather was there vs. when she was gone -- that was the best cast to me.

I am in the minority that liked Heather. Sure, she was pretentious, but she also had some class, a lovely home and didn't dress like a hooker. I would also much prefer Vickie to either of the two awful newcomers, Gina and Emily. And I would prefer almost anyone to crazy Kelly. She is just a completely vile human being.

As much as I have never been a Vicki fan, I do admire that she has built a business. I would imagine that her head with explode when she learns that she has been replaced by a woman whose claim to fame is that she is a human incubator. Should she be referred to as a SAHI rather than a SATM? 

I don’t see the problem with Bronte, though. Let’s be honest, I hate working too. If I never had to do it, I wouldn’t. I envy her. However, she should realize that she may have to support herself in the future. That little chubby cheeker has bought her 17 more years. How old is she?

I don’t wish misery on anyone but Gina was awfully arrogant last season about her “wonderful” divorce vs shannon’s Shit show divorce.

guess the shoe is on the other foot now huh?

Sounds like her conscious uncoupling just got knocked unconscious.

im sorry for being mean, but she needed to get knocked down a few pegs. God how I hate her up talking. I hate her hair with the obvious extensions and awful color. I hate her makeup that makes her look 15 years older. I just in general hate her unearned smugness.

Emily=RFF. Resting Fart Face. There’s nothing remotely interesting about her. I do however hate her sausage curled hair. She looks like a fifty yo trying to follow teen trends.

Speaking of hair, I have the same high hairline and fine hair as Kelly. A pixie cut allowed the hair to fall over the big forehead and made me look like a 25 yo chick. Both Kelly and Tamara should ditch the ratty, aging extensions and go for pixies. They’re both pretty enough to wear it. Tamra in particular would look smoking hot with a platinum pixie with s smudge root.

She’s 41, at least at time of filming

Are they still together? I don't buy that studying requires moving out. Go to the library, or over to his parents, then come home at night. No way he is spending evert waking hour studying.

Isn't their house big enough that he could hole up somewhere and study and she could keep the kids away? I know kids are loud. But my husband or I can shut our bedroom door and take a nap and we live in a small, one story house.

Remember last year how incensed he got that people were being loud when the kids were supposedly asleep upstairs? Does sound just carry in that place or what?

I agree that she may have to support herself sometime in the future. There could be a downturn and her hubby could lose his job. She appears to just be an older version of Gina to me - boring, vapid and living in an alternate reality. 

I have been lucky enough to have been retired since my mid 50s, but I also don't have 7 kids that someone else is looking after. And am not on a reality show where my life should be interesting enough for me to be there in the first place. Bronte reminds me of the howife from a couple of seasons ago who added nothing to the show and was a one-and-done. 

The best thing about her so far is the nickname Bronte, so if you were the person who came up with it, thank you!

I was bored with the whole show.  Gina, Emily and B-momma add nothing.  Vicki is the catalyst to this show.  Tacky yes, but needed.  I’ve removed it from my DVR.  I’ll read here.  NYC is all I have left, with the occasional Potomac episode.

Shannon did not look that thin to me and she was annoying as shit.  Kelley is just nasty.

[sasha206]

When Shannon went for her follow-up appointment with Dr. Thirsty, both Tamra and Kelly were talking about her needing to do her boobs.  Kelly called her pancakes tits.  I'm looking at Shannon and thinking she has a great rack.  Kelly needs to do something about those awful fake tits of hers.

I loved what Heather brought to us RHOC viewers...THE best real estate porn, fabulous clothes, and yes, the air of snobbery because she was (is) so much above these OC females who are "pretend rich".

And damn I miss the episodes with Mr. DuBrow being all OC Housewife! I know Heather will never be back on this franchise of low class "wanna be rich" women. But it was a good show while she was on.

They do have a lot of tile.  I remember tile/stone on the stairs.

[tvfanatic13]

Thought on Shane. I can’t stand him but maybe the whole “staying at my mother’s house while I ‘study’” is because they know how horribly he came off on screen last season and it’s an organic way to keep him off screen?

I would have preferred tacky Tamra to go first.  Now she’s bringing the family in.  If their was a choice, I’d take Vikie if she stops yelling “you hoo” to the top of her lungs.  Shannon got to be loud lately too.  Kelly ijust plain trashy with that mouth of hers.  Don’t like Emily, and Gina.  Enough of all the little kiddies too.  Even tho I love kids, mine are grown, so I don’t want to see little kids jumping and crying.  I’m done with BH because Lisa is gone (thanks loads Andy) and the only one I LOVE is N.Y.  They better keep the cast as they are.  At least Heather and Lisa brought some class to the shows.  Oh, and I just can’t get over Emily’s kid kicking that dog FOUR times, and that moron Emily not doing anything.  And, I’m from Long Island too, and we do not talk like Gina.  I don’t think Shannon is so happy either.  It’s just all show.  Ok, I’m done, lol.

Who names their kid "Bronwyn"? (or, however you spell it)

The late, great Maureen O’Hara named her only child (daughter) Bronwyn.  However!—, Ms. O’Hara was born & raised in Ireland and was bilingual in English & Gaelic.

Ryan said at the beginning of the conversation that he felt that they need to build the wall to keep people out.  My thoughts are that if you are someone who is in favor of building the wall, which Trump has famously said is to keep Mexicans from coming into the country illegally, then maybe you might not want to state that in the house that is owned by your Mexican stepfather?  

I disagree vehemently with some beliefs that my father in law holds, but I don't discuss them with him at all, because I know it would do nothing but cause problems.  I know I won't change his mind, he will never change mine, so out of respect for the fact that he is my husband's father, I don't bring it up and when my FIL starts talking about the topic, if I can find a reason to leave the room without it being obvious, I do.  If not, I just keep quiet.  If I were Ryan (and thank god I'm not!), I would at least keep my damn mouth shut about the wall and keeping Mexicans out if I were around Eddie, since they are subsidizing his life.

Andy has said before that they will keep a ho until their story has been told.  Vicki really doesn't have much of a story to be told anymore, and I think that's a large part of the reason she was demoted.  The original concept of the show was a peek behind the gates of housewives and how they lived, prior to the economy crashing.  Vicki's no longer married, her kids are grown and gone.  She doesn't have her grandkids near her.  We've done the Vicki is a business woman thing over and over.  We've gone through Vicki gets divorced.  We've done Vicki gets a new man.  We've gone through Vicki is single.  We've gone through Vicki is a cancer scammer.  Vicki is a bitch to other women.  Vicki gets plastic surgery.  Vicki leads the gang.  Vicki is on the outside of the gang.  Vicki loses her parent.  There's really nothing left to tell with Vicki at this point.  

Vicki also doesn't think the show can go on without her, of course.  And I don't think Vicki can fully support herself without the money from the show either.  When she and Donn first divorced, they had to both live in the house because neither one could afford it on their own.  Their divorce papers were released somewhere and she does not have the money you'd think she would for the way she portrays herself, particularly given that she and Donn were a 2 income household for years.  Her business wouldn't have had a ton of overhead in the earlier years being located in her house and he was a reasonably well paid executive.  But their 401ks weren't really all that big and for a woman who stresses that she's a financial planner, you'd expect her to have larger assets.

Yeah, but, the same could be said about a lot of the other housewives who remain, like Tamra, Ramona, Bethenny, etc.  But, that's okay.  I have a dream that one day there will be no Bravo.  lol

She’s a real classy one that Kelly.  Instead of concentrating on”motor boating” she should concentrate more on her daughter and stop talking like the slut she is.

[Ubiquitous]

I haven't watched this show for a couple seasons, so I have no idea who half these women are. That said, I quickly lost interest and eventually switched to something else b/c nothing interesting was on when this began.

Shannon is my fav, but she has clearly gone "Real Housewife" and exaggerates her mannerisms for the camera. If I had to take a shot for each time she shook er arms around or said "Are! You! Kidding! ME?!?!" to everything that surprised her... That said, she looks great and cannot tell she had a facelift.

Kelly's doctor boyfriend rubs me the wrong way for some reason. He sounds like a Mr Rogers imposter to me. I shouldn't be surprised that Kelly mistook "feral" for "pharaoh" cats, but isn't that the name of bald ones? That said, I am sure the people at the cat shelter café were less than thrilled to see her there wanting to adopt a cat but hated them.

I got the impression Shane is using "bar exams" as an excuse to stay away form his wife and seven children at home. Is it too early in the season to think he's gay?

I totally forgot about Vickie until Tamra pondered inviting her to her house warming party, but obviously, she already made her decision b/c she needs the drama for a successful party.

Who was that woman hysterically recounting her time in a drunk tank? I got the impression she was exaggerating for effect or sympathy.

I actually think the differences in Tamra's two sets of children to be very interesting. Ryan is a creep and there's no changing that. But I do feel for young Ryan; whose mom married a well off dude and proceeded to start a new family with him. I never got the impression that Simon really welcomed Ryan into the family. Or treated him as well as his bio children. And I feel Tamra sided with Simon over her son. So I bet there's a lot of resentment built up there. 

Yeah, I agree that there's a weird dynamic between Tamra and Ryan.

Looking forward to the moment Kelly tells Vicki "you're a scammer and a con man."  Looks like one of Vicki's gossip lies has done real damage to not only Kelly, but her daughter.  Of course, $10 says Vicki says she is just "repeating what she heard."  Then you better come up with the source, bitch.  And fast.  

I am finding it hard to sympathize with Kelly, TBH, after what happened to Shannon several seasons ago.

I actually hate Vikie for that remark to Kelly.  That’s the worst thing to say, considering she has a daughter.  She is vile, and Steve better wake up and smell the roses.

Studying for the bar takes a lot of time and energy and she has to work and take care of the kids so I doubt she has time devoted to studying with him. I mean I am not suggesting he had to move out or that he is doing it in a productive manner but it isn’t really the sort of thing you study with someone who isn’t taking it at the same time you are.

[Shellbell59]

Pharaoh cats instead of feral?

RHs are trying too hard...planned ahead ‘joke’ lines...

really???...in front of your daughter...”I don’t like to touch pussy” (Paraphrasing) in a louder voice to be heard?

or...”so you gonna get it on like donkey Kong?” to Shannon friend...(Kelly has used that one already IIRC...)

as I mentioned on Potomac thread 

when it comes to RHs...I’ve seen too much “crying’...yet ZERO tears or ‘welling up’...With the exception of a few… But they were actresses when it comes down to it..

and too many overreaching performances of all kinds. It’s off putting...old...

Oh...and the crying?...they’re all great a dabbing under eye to explain that...but there are other “tells” to know if person is truly crying.

That said...Omgosh... I Do know a person that’s always thought it was “The Dead Sea squirrels”...so maybe Kelly is that dense! 😆

I’m late to the party this week...So forgive me if this is been hashed out or figured out already...should say…

As I was scanning thread I noticed people talking about the term “roadie”...

it’s most definitely a common term and has been for decade or 3...

(caught my dad having a roadie in my van in late 90’s with kids in van..and had a huge argument....’roadie’ was the term at that time and I would’ve received the “open container” charge as driver)

so Gina wasn’t trying to confuse anyone in my opinion...(here in Cali anyway)

that said.. we drive everywhere here...so spread out...making the term more common... 🤷‍♀️

[Gem 10]

I was waiting for Shannon this season.  Am disappointed with her.  It’s nice she lost weight, but between the weight loss and work done on her face, she got bolder and louder. Every sentence is screeching and yelling, and it’s freakin annoying.  She’s acting like a wild woman who just got out of jail.  She’s having such a blast hanging out with Kelly, drinking it up and hanging over guys.  I really think she is faking it and wishes she had her old life back.  Hanging out with Kelly is doing her no favors.  I don’t know why she is reconstructing her face either.  She was pretty as she was.  Just my opinion.

[BckpckFullaNinjas]

I remembered Shannon Nine Lemons fondly so glanced at this premiere. Only she and Kelly interest me and honestly, her OTT reactions to meeting somebody new took the air out of any interest I had in re-visiting the franchise. 

As with NYC, 99%!l of the enjoyment of these shows is seeing your comments, here. So, I might be back, just for all y’all.

Most likely Bravo's. Vicki would never give up the money that she was receiving as a main cast member.

Maybe it’s punishment from Andy for opening that vile mouth.  She talks bad shit about people then says “somebody told her”.  I’m sure she’ll be back without Steve. I don’t think she’s with him anymore.  So I read.

I think roadie may end up being one of those terms that is somewhat regional.  I'm familiar with it, but it isn't used everywhere.  Much like "go cup" is used in the south, I was confused at first by the offer for a fresh refill to take with me when leaving restaurants.

Tamra really hasn't had that many houses.  She and Simon were in the first house that they had when she started on the show, the Ladera Ranch one.  She went from there to an apartment when they divorced.  Then she moved into the house that Eddie already owned when they started dating.  They left this home for the one that they purchased last season and renovated.  They apparently had issues with that one and have now moved to Coto.  

Considering that she had a divorce I don't really think it's that weird for her to have moved from the original house to the apartment or the apartment to Eddie's once they were together.  I don't even think it's all that strange that she and Eddie would decide to move to a new home that they both picked out together after being married for a while.  The only move that I think is "iffy" would be the last one, but things happen.  I think there have been people on some of the other cities that have been in different houses for nearly every season and have pretty much no personal items in their homes, which is weirder to me.  I get not wanting to have everything out, because it's tv fodder, but why are ALL of the shelves empty in EVERY house?

I don't buy it either. While it's nice to feel good physically and have more energy, that normally speaks for itself. Most of time, people who are really having fun, don't have to repeatedly remind you that they are having fun. Lol

Shannon isn't telling us that she's having fun, though.  She's telling us that she IS fun.  Which apparently translates to "loud and drunk"

[ninjago]

In her talking heads Gina looks like Megan McCain.

I'm no Vickie fan, and she should have been axed after the cancer scam, but the person who should have been cut for the debacle of last season was Shannon.  

She flat out refused to engage with either of the new castmembers, and that screwed up the whole dynamic of the show.  It was like there was the real show, with Shannon, Vickie and Tamra, and then Emily and Gina, following them around, trying desperately to get into the frame.

It's one thing to have beef with another cast member, but having someone who just won't engage with other cast members and won't even treat them like they are part of the same social circle destroys the whole premise of the show.  It's why LVP had to go, it's why Nene should go and, I think, Andy should have at least demoted Shannon for doing it last season.

Vicki has done that for years, though.  This should have been nipped in the bud way back when it first started and if any of them decided they were going to haze the new girls, it should have been cut off and the person dealt with.  Vicki has a history of this going back to Gretchen's first season.  Ramona is notorious for doing it as well.  Shannon pulled this shit with Megan, first blaming David's cheating, then her divorce.

Pharaoh cats instead of feral?

RHs are trying too hard...planned ahead ‘joke’ lines...

really???...in front of your daughter...”I don’t like to touch pussy” (Paraphrasing) in a louder voice to be heard?

or...”so you gonna get it on like donkey Kong?” to Shannon friend...(Kelly has used that one already IIRC...)

as I mentioned on Potomac thread 

when it comes to RHs...I’ve seen too much “crying’...yet ZERO tears or ‘welling up’...With the exception of a few… But they were actresses when it comes down to it..

and too many overreaching performances of all kinds. It’s off putting...old...

Oh...and the crying?...they’re all great a dabbing under eye to explain that...but there are other “tells” to know if person is truly crying.

That said...Omgosh... I Do know a person that’s always thought it was “The Dead Sea squirrels”...so maybe Kelly is that dense! 😆

Ha! I’ve called them the “Dead Sea Squirrels” forever because—when I was in college and they came to the US—my dad misunderstood what I was saying, and the name stuck. I’ve since also seen them in Israel and I STILL call them that, 25 years later. (And apparently it’s not too uncommon of a mondegreen.) Hope you’re not thinking of me! 🤣🤣🤣

Hahaha love your darling story!

nope...not you...this person has no reason other than being...like Kelly.....but like I said...that pharaoh/feral....wanting to call it “Will” like Will Feral (she knows his last name isn’t “Pharaoh”...C’mon...Kelly!

interesting the “Squirrel” gal I know would be the type to hear a story like yours.. and as cute as the story is..she’d adopt it...to be cute...because it never made sense...As there are no language barriers by her or any of her family and she is very well educated 🥴

 ...but.hey!...what do I know...?

I always thought the saying was..”It just DONGED on me” and I’d tap my head. 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️ Eventually found out it was “DAWNED” on me (but “donged” kiiinda works???? No? 😆😜bwahaha 

Very post cute..loved it😂

Shannon isn't telling us that she's having fun, though.  She's telling us that she IS fun.  Which apparently translates to "loud and drunk"

I hope she has some morals left as she was a “ lady”. If she hangs out with Kelly, watch out.  What the hell is she doing in these bars drinking and kissing guys? It’s not a good look on her.

In her talking heads Gina looks like Megan McCain.

I'm no Vickie fan, and she should have been axed after the cancer scam, but the person who should have been cut for the debacle of last season was Shannon.

These shows are going one by one.  They’ve said and done it all.  I’m done with BH, and this one is next.  N.Y. Is the only one that holds my interest.  Andy better get on the drawing board.

As much as I have never been a Vicki fan, I do admire that she has built a business. I would imagine that her head with explode when she learns that she has been replaced by a woman whose claim to fame is that she is a human incubator. Should she be referred to as a SAHI rather than a SATM? 

I think the fact that someone else is holding the orange she believes is hers has made her implode.

I like to picture Tamra shitting pickles at this point because she knows she's next.

To me, they need MAJOR revamping. Not just the cast, but, the way the show works.   With Orange County.....I just don't know if there's enough to work with anymore.  I won't comment on the new cast members, as I'm not that familiar with them, but, Kelly, Tamra, Emily.....nah....

As a kid, I heard the song as "Secret Asian Man" I still sometimes picture stealthy Asian spies dashing around a park, hiding behind trees when I hear it.

“Secret Asian Man” hahaha 🤣

love it..

For years I cleaned my house with Enya blasting.... and many of those years

I sang “Save the Whales Save the Whales Save the Whales” instead of “Sail Away X3”..I just tuned in FM “The wave” and never heard the titles....kiinda makes sense???? No?? 😆

Now my malaprop earlier mentioned- “Donged on me” (while knock knock on my forehead) vs “dawned on me”..makes total sense in my feeble mind (too many ‘knock knocks?’ 🥴)...after so many years I continue to use it!!!😝😜bwahaha

I'm from Wisconsin and I never heard the term "roadie" as it relates to "one for the road, while on the road". Before Gina saying that, the only way I applied the term Roadie was in the "fan of the band" kinda way. Shrugs...

Yes yes yes! Vicki must must be totally gobsmacked. She always claimed the OG title and thought OC was her show

poor Tamra is probably wondering why the girls haven’t crowned her the new leader.

ya know like they did with Kyle “eye roll”

 We don't know what prompted ryan's little brother to call him a racist.

I would like to add, we don’t even know that he did. Tamara and Ryan did that vague “he called me racist” thing that could mean a lot of different shit. Just as I have seen my liberal friends be a little quick to condone different opinions as evil, I have seen my conservative friends confuse any push back on their opinions with being called a racist. Did he call Ryan a racist or did he say he thought something Ryan said sounded racist? We only have Tamara and Ryan’s version of events and that holds very little water for me. The whole thing felt like Tamara thought something about this might leak on social media and she wanted to get ahead of it as the good mother making peace in our fractured nation. She’s gross.

Also, her running around screaming about getting into the country club. I had no idea anyone cared about country clubs anyone. But good for you Tamara. Live out your trashy lottery winner dreams.
