Emily you are not doing anything for this party, you’ve got a chef and his wife cooking and serving.

anyone else watching  tonight? 

[KungFuBunny]

I'm glad Emily couldn't get Shane on Fscetime

I didn't want to see this

[chewycandy]

I dig Braunwyn’s mom. Damn, it’s going to be hard to type that name.

Shane. What a little bitch. 

[Pickles]

Braunwyn's boobs in that red dress. Ick. She is so scrawny and then the enormous side boob sticking out.

Shane is awful. 

[AuntieDiane6]

When I first heard Braunwyn's husband's voice from the other room, I thought it was a gay BFF.  

And the closer the camera focuses on him, he's not as attractive as I thought last week.... 

Yikes.  

[Bronzedog]

Braunwyn's mother is faux Lydia's mother.  Braunwyn??  Really???  Couldn't they have hired a Jane or Ann?

Don't bitch about never being alone, Braun.  What did you think was going to happen with 7 kids?  Not sure how I'm going to feel about this chick.  Stop complaining about having so many kids!

Thank God for Archie!

[Keywestclubkid]

Wether he passes the bar or not you seriously don’t deserve to be treated like that by such a piece of crap person.

Actually, somewhere in the world Betsey Johnson just screamed - BITCH STOLE MY LOOK!

[answerphone]

These pre-teen and teenage girls are encouraged to grow up so quickly and in the public eye.

Low cut mini dresses, and strangers commenting negatively on social media.

How many will be pregnant by the time they're 18?

[Mindthinkr]

Oh Tamra. I wish I had a boyfriend/husband who gives me gifts, much less expensive shoes for all occasions. 

[Keywestclubkid]

She really treats having kids like having pets OMG I don’t know if I’m gonna be able to take her ....and her husband is super catty meow

Vicki has been invited to this party for the scripted fight with Kelly that will ensue. Good thing because this episode so far is boring AF. 

[Pickles]

Gina seems rude. She just bolted out of the car—past the driver who opened the door for her—at Tamra’s party. No thank you. Nothing. Too busy looking at her phone. 

[Maybeitsme]

I feel so sorry for Kelly’s daughter. She shouldn’t be included in this mess. She has made it clear she doesn’t want to be but Kelly just doesn’t get it

Shane is a real butthole, so nasty. Why does Emily put up with him?

the new couple I like so far, they seemed very together and real in their love shack

then again she has the wacky mom so now I’m thinking, is it all for show?

[SweetieDarling]

I like how Emily broke the ice with Shannon, and even got her to laugh. Shannon was perfectly content to hold a grudge. Good for Emily. I hope it works.

[Keywestclubkid]

Which staircase do I use this one or this one omg really tamra really? 

[Mr. Miner]

Braunwyn’s mom looks like Jesse’s mom from 90 Day Fiancé. 😮🤷🏻‍♂️

[Grumpbump]

I am more uncomfortable watching Gina than Katie (from RHoP).  And anyone who watches Potomac knows that something is really really really wrong with Katie.  

My gut is telling me to FF anything with Gina.

I think you’re right 

[JAYJAY1979]

Is it just me or does hearing Gina's voice seem like nails on a chalkboard?

[Bronzedog]

The new husband reminds me of a used car salesman.  Apologies to used car salesmen.

Everything about that property is "staged" for sale.

Tamra has to do her part and talk about the "highlights" "features" even telling the caterer to "move" that table is to showcase the outside area.

I'm surprised she hasn't talked about square footage and number of bedrooms and bathrooms yet

This show focuses too much on the men, who I don’t care about, maybe because these women are not interesting enough? 

[Mindthinkr]

Shannon: “lap one”. So funny. 

[Emmeline]

If Jolie is being bullied on social media about her mother, I don’t think it’s just because of Vicki accusing Kelly of using cocaine.

 Braunwyn’s husband looks like he colors his hair.  Why do men do that?  I like men with gray or white hair.  Does he want to look like Wayne Newton?

I don’t think Shane wants to be filmed.  Emily should dump his ass.

Edited August 14, 2019 by Emmeline

[Thumper]

Did Shane not even realize it was his parents' birthday celebration?  Couldn't take 5 minutes to sing Happy Birthday?

[chewycandy]

I wonder about Kelly and Jolie’s relationship. Kelly can be funny but has such a vicious streak. They give me Amma/Adora vibes from “Sharp Objects.” 

[Mr. Miner]

Vicki is repulsive as ever. 🖕🏻

[Mu Shu]

I’m sorry, but that pig thing was hilarious. Told you Icki. Said she’d turn on you and you wouldn’t be able to handle her wrath. 

Braunschweiger and her wacky mom. We’ve seen that before. Yawn. 

Ginas hair looks like she’s wearing one of those curly lamb coat from the 70’s.

thank god Shannon apparently consulted a stylist. Her clothing is flattering, fitted, and sexy. A big change from her previous Ross looking frump wear. 

Fart face whines about being bullied about her body, and turns around and makes comments about Shannon’s. Shut up you idiot. 

[rustyspigot]

So whose birthday was it at Emily's? The one kid? The inlaws? That whole scene was weird. Shane can stay at "The Library"

That was a very bright dress choice for a winter formal.

Vicki for better or worse does bring out the crazy. "I know people that did cocaine with Kelly" is the new Dallas I know the boys who did it" (sucked Cary's husband's dick at the Round Up)

Tamra still sucks.

And good for Jolie saying fuck no for being an acne spokesperson for Kelly. Isn't it enough her friends thinking her mom is a cokehead?

It was both in laws.  Apparently their bdays are one day apart, so the dinner was to celebrate both of Shane's parents on the same day and Shane didn't both to show up or even call.  

[65mickey]

Did Tamra and Eddie buy this house?  It sure is a move up from the last house. 

[ghoulina]

Shannon's daughter's dress was WAY too short. My goodness. Don't dances have a dress code? My prom did. I couldn't wear my Chucks and was pissed. 

Shane is a giant fucking dick. His entire family comes over for a birthday celebration and he can't be arsed to show? I want a tracking device put on his car. Prove to me that he's at the library all this time. And then he accuses people of harassing him, because they care about him and want him there? He better pass that fucking exam. He better ACE it.

Bronwyn's mom HAS. A. STORY. 

Watch out Tamra, Eddie might be the best Jerry Brudos. Make sure he doesn't start restricting your access to the garage.

Damn. Vicki was truly the elephant in the room at that party. The vibe was totally chill until she showed up and started stalking Kelly. I'm always going to be Team-Whoever-Isn't-Vicki. She goes all scorched earth on people; then acts baffled as to why anyone would have an issue with her. 

I will say this, though - if Jolie is getting these horrible messes, Kelly should remove her SM or leave the show. Or both. Your kid should come first.

I noticed that and also thought she was rude. 

[BluBrd47]

I don’t like Bronwyn so far, I get a very self absorbed vibe from her. It’s a bunch of things but I found it strange she just walked into Tamra’s house and ordered a tequila as though she was talking to a waiter. I know she didn’t know there was a bar outside but isn’t it usually polite to wait for your hostess to offer you something??

[AttackTurtle]

While her behavior is often repulsive, Tamara can look quite pretty.  I thought her hair/attire looked great at the bbq.  

Shannon is still heavier than she was her first season, but she looks so much better.  Smiling looks good on Shannon.

I have taken and passed the MA Bar.  When you prep for the Bar, you’re aware of how important it is to pass on the first go around.  Statistically, your chances of passing decrease with each attempt.  The odds are not in Shane’s favor, but it should be easy to look up if he took it in February.  

And while studying for the Bar is a drain, you can take a night off for your parents birthday.  I really do not like the way he speaks to his wife and I would agree that it seems they’re already separated, but that is such a big no-no for Mormons.

Gina, holy lack of self awareness!  Don’t order Tito’s when people are still talking about your DUI.  That bleach blond hair is not helping her.

I don’t feel sorry for Vicki or Kelly.  Both knew the score when they were BFF’s.  Vicki used Kelly because the cool girls were shunning her.  As expected she dropped her as soon as Tamara and Shannon gave her an opening.  Kelly has to Know this from the get go.  

It does seem that they all couldn’t get away from Vicki fast enough.  Vicki reiterating the coke story about Kelly and claiming to know people that have done coke with Kelly really doesn’t speak well of Vicki or Kelly.  So Vicky hangs out with other people who do coke?  Good to know. 

This episode confirmed my feeling that I don’t miss Vicki at all.  

*can’t tell if he passed the CA Bar, but he passed Utah’s Bar several years ago.

Shane and Emily are already separated.  No one can convince me otherwise.  

The story they are trying to sell about what is going on with Shane is BS.

It makes no sense that Shane can't take an evening off from studying to celebrate his parent's Birthdays.  Emily was acting like he might come.  He had clearly flat out refused because he was pissed about people reaching out to him about it.  

He either really didn't want them to continue with the show after last season and is refusing to film or as you said, they are already separated.

[breezy424]

OK.  So the only ones I like is Archie (of course) and Shannon. 

As someone already posted, Braun's mother is Lydia's mother 2.0.  Yeah, I immediately thought Betsey Johnson as well.

Sorry Kelly, you're just as bad as Vicks.

Geez, my  daughter's boyfriend just took the bar last week.  He took a day or two off each week for the last month just to decompress.  Something's up with these two.  And enough with her kids.  I'm not interested.

Emily and Gina are just so boring. 

I'm still reserving judgement on Braun.  So far, I'm not very interested.

[Pickles]

I was wondering how Shannon’s daughter would sit down in that dress. It was more like a top. 

I also thought Tamra looked really pretty at her party. Loved her hair. 

Will we have to see Tamra’s repulsive son every episode? He is soooo creepy. 

[bosawks]

This Shane is now the worst Shane that has ever appeared on this show.

And that’s, that’s not great....

[Bronzedog]

I've known a whole lot of lawyers in my life, but, I don't remember any of them abdicating all their other responsibilities and holing up somewhere pretending to be Charley from Charley's Angels where all you hear is their voice on the phone, while studying for the bar.

 I wonder if Kelly ever stays sober at a party.

[DivaLasVegas82]

Why does Shane's family want him to pass the bar so badly? Everyone is not cut out to be a lawyer.

Right. If Shane has to spend all day and night studying to pass the bar, that tells me he just isn't cut out to be a lawyer.

Gina is an attractive woman during filming, but she looks absolute horrid in her confessionals. I don't know who told her that white blonde hair was a good look on her.

I think I'm going to like Braunwyn. Her and her husband seem really down to earth. Her body is amazing for a woman who has seven kids.

[DivaLasVegas82]

Vicki kills me. She always wants to cry foul when someone says something disparaging about her looks. I much rather be compared to a pig than be accused of being a cokehead. And why does she love to repeat allegations she supposedly "heard"? She heard Kelly does cocaine just like she heard Eddie was gay.

Braunwyn's mom looked like a cross between George Clinton from Parliament Funkadelic and Betsy Johnson.

Kelly can and has definitely hit below the belt many times, but her anger at Vicki is totally justified IMO.

[UsernameFatigue]

I know this is an UO, but I thought Shane was the smartest person on this episode. Because he wasn't on this episode. I also thought the "Shane didn't celebrate his parents' birthdays" was just for show. He could have celebrated with them earlier in the day. Emily did nothing other than bring in a chef, which her MIL likely paid for since she is the one with the money. As I recall, Parry quite liked being on camera, so I am sure she was happy to be filmed, Shane or not. 

Why oh why is GIna still on my screen? Sitting in her bedroom on the floor, with her clothes apparently stored in zebra patterned shopping bags. What a waste of screen time. And my time.

I loved Tamra's comment when she heard that Bronte has 7 kids "Why?" "Who would do that to themselves?" My sentiments exactly. And her hubby is as thirsty as Terry Dubrow was. I don't like either one, and their scenes are even more boring than Emily's and Gina's. A pretty low bar as it is. 

Kelly is despicable - using her daughter to make money with her also thirsty boyfriend. Honestly, the only males I like on this franchise are Archie and Eddie, in that order.

I thought it was kind of crappy that the new couple was making fun of Tamra for inviting them to her open house on their way there.  Of course they've never been to her old house, but, what difference does that make? Just seemed kind of catty.

[ninjago]

Braunwyn’s husband is a catty queen.  

Emily is not great, but she needs to dump Shane.  If he doesn’t want to be filmed, if he’s studying day and night, if she didn’t really do much for his parents’ bday party, none of that excuses how he spoke to her on film tonight.

There are so many women where I just think What is this guy bringing to the table?  Why do you take this shit?

[Lizzing]

Kelly was right about Shane being a little bitch. He could have attended his parents' birthday dinner if he wanted to. (I took the LA bar eons ago and had time for dinner every night.  It wasn't a huge time suck to eat a meal or a slice of cake.) Of course, he didn't either to avoid the cameras (which makes him look more like a little bitch with his 'harrassment' charge) or to avoid Emily & the kids.  He shouldn't avoid his parents, because they're probably the ones who keep paying the exam fees to start with.  At least their dog didn't get kicked this week.

It just feels like they really don't have anything this season.  A dinner with Tams & Eddie, where he brings shoes to the dinner table?  Only for the cameras.  The housewarming party was clearly a set up for the Vicki/Kelly fight--hell, Steve & Eddie were watching from the side laughing at the confrontation. Tiffs over who posted what or who follows whom on social media. We're already seeing flashbacks to Braunwyn & Gina meeting, because that scene was clearly a snooze.  It feels very Beverly Hills and makes me even more angry that we got a short NY season.

[Shellbell59]

So bizarre....what’s up with their tag lines and matching what is shown on “Closed Captioning”? 

The Bravo team must have REALLY WAITED UNTIL THE 11 hour to name the season cast....because network closed captions-to outlet failed recently!!!

oops! I didn’t realize my attachment wasn’t working…

Anyway it starts out reading Vicktim’s old Tag line about “being on the fun bus and now she’s driving”… Or whatever the crap it was..and so on...my point was closed captioning is usually programmed with scripted parts...they never changed it....thought it odd..and last minute rush.
