My thought too was that Vicki got a text and then asked about the land line. When she asked Shannon about it Shannon said it was in their craft room. I thought, hmmmm what does that look like!! When the ladies are on their cells they apparently are instructed to put it on speaker phone so all can hear it. So, I figured whomever texted her didn't want the conversation on speaker phone. This was my thoughts on it too. You could tell ahe was truly upset, but it did seem a bit overacted. Like when she told her brother to wake up her Mom.

3) Vicki's "breakdown" seemed like acting. On the phone, I didn't see any tears and none of her Tammy Faye makeup was running. She got louder and louder and nobody heard anything, then all of a sudden Shannon says everyone is taking a "break" for a minute and goes into the room with Vicki. I also didn't notice any tears.

I didn't watch the show but FWIW the closest airport is SNA/OC/John Wayne which closes at 10pm. LAX is about an 45min-hour away. 45 minutes away? Without traffic, yes you might be able to drive from Coto to LAX and make it to the curb in 45 minutes. Traffic in that area is almost 24/7 and I always need to budget at least an hour and a half to get there...and I live in Irvine. side note... I was getting my nails done the other day and Shannon came in to have her nails done. She kept her glasses on the entire time and was talking very loudly on her phone. Kind of annoying.

That makes sense re: getting a text and asking for a landline.
Rhonda- I absolutely get things being different in the moment, how you say and do things you don't expect. Vicky often seemed genuine during that segment, but there was an awful lot that seemed like bad acting, too. All of 'mommy' stuff was wrapped up in making it about her. It wasn't the biggest thing that didn't seem 'real' IMO- but it was part of it. I wouldn't be surprised to find out it was not actually filmed in the moment. I still feel horribly for her...it was heart wrenching to watch. You know there was/is real pain there.

What annoyed me about Heather is all her complaining about her husband's working. I get it, she's lonely and the kids miss him. However he's working hard so they can afford to build that mcmansion and she can stay at home. Having his own reality show brings more business to his private practice where he can raise the prices. No way- that's not on Heather. That's allll on him. She didn't want to sell their last house. They had someone ring the doorbell and make an offer- and he talked her into selling and building this 'dream house'. She was reistant and he offered her the moon and the stars to go along with it- including promising to be home more. This was before Botched. +1 Also, that's NOT a McMansion. That's a real mansion!

I don't have much to add other than I hate Megan's dress in the opening credits. It looks like it isn't fitted very well or needs to be tailored.

I'm also thinking that Brooks is faking it and the only reason why I think that is because in the previews of the season, the girls are all talking about 'who fakes cancer?' I surely hope he's not faking it, not that I would wish that on anyone. You just don't fake cancer. It's not going to be a good storyline. It's horrible.
I felt for Vicki, but thought she was a tad over dramatic.
Shannon just cracks me up. I would love to hang out with her for a day or so.
Heather is so pompous. Always needing to be perfect or better.
Tamra and Meghan, I don't have time for them. Tamra is a conniving byotch. Always wanting to start some type of drama. She is caught in so many lies, ON CAMERA TOO. Why doesn't someone just call her out on it?

I also felt deeply for Vicki during that scene. That probably stems from my own personal relationship with my mother and the circumstances of my mother's death. I like how she mentioned that her mom was the "original whoop it up lady". Very sweet. Was it real or reenacted? Who knows. Well someone knows and hopefully we'll know the truth about it at some point.
If it was real... I have to say I'm so very different from Vicki. I'm very private and wouldn't have conducted myself that way. I would have certainly had a breakdown moment but then excused myself to try to get home. The display dragged on and became uncomfortable. If real, I'm sure the producers and filmers were thrilled to have caught the event on camera. Anyway, I was struck at how different I am from these women.
Regarding Shannon - I really like her but nothing good is going to come to her family by playing out the affair drama on TV. I feel that she's not doing what's in the best interest of her children.

That was heart wrenching..and I agree with SueS..something did feel slightly over the top but I believe that was real time news she was hearing and no way a reenactment. I just think she started becoming aware of the cameras and was distracted a bit by them too. I was sobbing while watching it anyway though, because that was so raw. The part about the landline I also agree, she got a text from Briana to get away to a private place and not use the cell because they are supposed to use the speaker while filming. The part where Heather went to call her husband got to me too, that's exactly what I would do too. Reach out to my husband and reassure myself by telling him that I love him...life is short. Rhondito your posts made me want to cry for you...I imagine when that dreaded day comes with my parents it will be the same for me. Megan is not even fun to hate. She's just stupid and needs to get off the show. Tamra is much better mean girl than her. Megan is trying too hard..but at what I do not know. And her husband is douchy. Tamara Tattles blog has a *hilarious* write up on how much she hates Megan, pretty spot on. Tamara Tattles blog post on Megan

I watched last night and did fight to hold back tears, whether is was acting or real, it was sad. I do not like Megan at all, she seems so immature.
I normally like Heather, but when I was in Maui a couple weeks ago her family and a couple other families were seated next to us at dinner and her kids were running around like crazies. People were trying to enjoy their dinner and they were running back and forth, yelling, etc. I thought it was so rude. Also, Coco was running around with a pacifier in her mouth. I am normally not a judgmental person, but how old is she?

I just watch the episode and a couple things just don't sit right with me. 1) I read Vicki's blog and she said her mom passed in early February. If I recall from reading twitter at the time, I thought Tamara posted a blurb about them not speaking at the time but she was sending her condolences & prayers. Now we see last night episode and they were on speaking terms and filming at a bunco party. I really think this was reenacted for filming. (I wish there was an easy way to search twitter that far back.) I scrolled through Tamra's twitter and found this: tamrajudge@vickigunvalson we have gone through so much together and I love you like a sister. I'm so sorry for your loss. Praying ? for you and your family. ?. Your mom is now with your dad dancing in heaven http://instagram.com/p/yuWVCovCvg

Coco is waaay too old for the paci in public. I mean, if she wants it at home, that's your business, but in public at this age look really odd. I get CoCo is the 'baby' but come on.

Tamara Tattles blog post on MeganVicki was talking to her brother on the phone, not Briana? Now if Briana had texted her, then her daughter had to know she was filming at that moment because they spoke earlier about other things and it came up. So her daughter thought let me wait and tell her on air and she can decide later whether or not that will air. I think Briana might do something like that having been on the show and knowing how important the show is to her mother. That blog post is awesome! I was thinking the same thing - " It seems a bit odd you never asked any of the others, and you hired people to do the event for you so all you had to do is show up. And yet…" "Do you really expect us to believe that Jimmy gives a shit one way or another about who you invite to a charity function?" and holy shit, the blog says Jimmy's ex-wife doesn't have cancer anymore???!!!!

LOL isn't Tamara's blog a hoot? I love following her, she's got spies everywhere and always gets the real tea first.
Vicki was talking to Briana, she's the one who broke the news to her, and then she spoke to her brother after as I recall. Brianna probably did know they were filming, which is why she told her to take the phone on the landline. I'm sure Brianna was in a tough spot tell now, or later? In the end I think Vicki would really be upset at her for holding back from telling her, I don't see that Brianna had a choice really. She had to tell her then.

About the Jim's ex's cancer...I think Tamara Tattles point wasn't whether she does or doesn't have cancer (looks like she might)..but the fact that publicly this woman isn't discussing it. As Tamra T pointed out, her very last FB comment about cancer was in 2012 when she declared she was cancer free. She hasn't mentioned it at all since on any of her social media so why is Megan constantly saying she's dying in her talking heads? Tamara T says in her last Instagram picture at their daughter's graduation the woman looks happy and healthy.

Why is Megan taking her step daughter to a doctor for birth control pills? She and the dad have only been married for 4 months! Why does Megan have any authority in this girls life at all? Am I the only one that finds this odd or maybe it is made up for show purposes??? I understand the mom is (or was) ill but then the Dad should be parenting HIS child.
I didn't understand why Tamra and Shannon were at Vicki's house with the Medium.
Tamra and Eddie and their work issues. I would assume Tamra could make a whole lot more money selling real estate instead of working at the front desk of her gym. No brainer....it would be fun to see some of the houses Tamra shows in her area.
Did anyone see that Tamra's DIL called 911 on Tamra's son at the end of last month. Apparently, he was drunk and the wife accused him of hitting her. He was arrested but charges were later dropped....

So did Ryan ever move back to the OC? Does anyone know?
Good for Eddie saying he is not going to support a grown man and his family. (in a preview, don't know if that has been shown yet).

The arrest report is from Orange County- so it looks like they did move. Ryan and his fiancee got into a fight and he got physical with her- broke her finger. She grabbed one of the girls and got out. Called the police and said he'd been drinking, got physical with her and he was in the house with the baby and 'a lot of guns'. Tamra bailed him out. Sara and Ryan are in counseling for their 'many issues' now.
Yikes.

The medium was a total idiot. I hope he doesn't think he's going to get a bunch of jobs from that segment. I didn't get why Shannon and Tamra were there either. When Tamra was like "What is the tattoo of?" I wanted to smack her. If she was just going to disrupt things trying to trip him up, why did she bother going.
I felt a little bad for Meghan at the end, when she cried about feeling alone with her stepdaughter. Her stepdaughter is a snot, by the way. Are we supposed to believe she's in an alternative school situation to take her mother to dr. appts? That sounds like a total load of BS. And if it's true- that's a lot to put on a kid.
Vicky- I don't know about her. The scene at the bowling alley (again) seemed acted, to me. Not that it can happen- I get that. A month or so after my mom died, I picked up the phone in Costco to call her because I found a movie I knew she'd like. But that whole scene seemed set up to elicit that exact response. I mean -whatever- it's a reality show...do what you want to do. But there's something icky about it, too.
I still like Lizzie. I wish she was on more.
Shannon- if she doesn't stop bringing every good conversation back to the affair, she is dooming them to failure. She is just pecking him to death with this shit. She can't think this is helpful.
Tamra and Eddie seem very unhappy. He's a condescending jerk and she's a total flake. Every interaction they had at the gym was tense and argumentative.

No brainer....it would be fun to see some of the houses Tamra shows in her area. During her custody fight last year some of her financials became public, she makes $325,000 per season of the show and her ex claims she makes $600K per year total. According to some random site Eddie makes $300K a year, he is CEO/IT of his father's law firm and is a partner of Tamra's gym. I think a savvy business person wants to be the face of their own business, personally handle all the complaints and be a visible daily presence to make sure their business runs smoothly. I've noticed this at the boutique gyms I go to. I met Tamra once in my city because she was promoting a rum line and she told me she was also a beachbody coach, not sure how she actually has time to run that ML business? But she has a lot of side hustles to make money. Just remembered she had that Wine by the Wives business, whatever happened to that after Vicki quit? I found a random site that said she sold million dollar homes as a realtor, so that's probably not something she can show on TV as her customers don't want to be featured.

Who watched last night? Was it explained why was Vicki was on Shannon's landline receiving the sad news? Did anyone watch Vicki on What Happens Live afterwards? What did she say? I can't stand Megan, I think she totally blew the call with Shannon out of proportion as well as Shannon's "reaction" to her in Napa. In her blog, she says it was her husband's decision to not invite Shannon to the party, how convenient to put the blame on him after the fact as it was never mentioned during the show. I knew Megan was younger than Shannon, but I had to laugh at her keep calling her a 30 year old, is that the new 20? I thought we're supposed to be wiser by 30. I googled Shannon's age and was shocked to see she's 51! Megan is so proud to say her name is on the house, but come on, having moved 6 times in one year, if they sell their new house after living in for a couple years, it's not really "hers" to keep as she can't continue the mortgage on her own. Did she work before she was married? Jim Rome is a buttwipe and I dislike his wife immensely.

Ryan's girlfriend's family owns a gunshop, I think she's inherited it..and that's why all the guns. Tamra is having a meltdown over the press on this issue, she says he was not charged, which means nothing, really. Her asshole son has a past history of assaulting girlfriends. He's a major db and I'm sure the only reason why his girlfriend found him on Instagram and got herself impregnated by him was to have a rich "glam mom' to foot her bills, just like NeNe's fugly worthless son on Atlanta Hwives.
The Meagan storyline is just so irritating. She's TOO young and her stepdaughter is too old for Megan to try and step in now and try to be some sort of parent to her. The girl is practically 18. She needs to step out of it and let the girls parents handle her. That girl is a lazy brat and she has no interest in finishing school. I doubt she's doing independent study because she needs to take her mom to her dr appointments. I'm sure that's just the excuse they are using. And how mortifying to have your 'step mom' discuss your sex life on national tv. Is she doing it or not? Blech. Tasteless.
I agree that the whole bowling scene with Vicky felt totally staged, come on. I'm really hating this season now.
Tamra was annoying with that really corny 'psychic'. She was right of course, but it felt really mean spirited of her to out the guy when Vicky and her brother were getting..something out of it. Such a bitch.
Do you all watch NY? Wasn't that Turkish coffee cup reader AMAZING? Now she was spot on and very specific. I'm reading that her website now has a note that she's inundated with people trying to get in to see her...good for her.
Not loving this season of OC at all. In fact it might be the worst ever, IMO.

Watched Mondays episode.
Vicki – I don’t believe for a second that Brooks has cancer. The “my mom will watch the baby” comment was totally acted and phony. The “median” was a joke.
Megan – I don’t care if Haley is a kid, she is a total spoiled twat because she was raised by at least one asshole parent, her dad. Independent studies so she can take her mom to doctor appointments, yeah right! More like flunked out of public school for being a lazy kid with no structure or discipline. Megan trying to “parent” Haley by being her friend will end very bad. And to report you’ve put your step kid on birth control to a bunch of strangers while filming a reality show…WEIRD!
Shannon – That marriage is doomed. She will NEVER get over being cheated on, which, in my opinion she shouldn’t. She will never trust David again, which, in my opinion she shouldn’t. He comes off as such a slime ball. She should just cut her loses and move on.
Still love Heather!
Tamra – that marriage is doomed. I’m willing to bet they don’t make it 7 years. Tamra should continue to sell real estate. I bet she’s good at it. If I’m not mistaken, Eddie quit working at his dads company to run CUT Fitness full time.
On a side note, I wonder who tipped of the tabloids about Ryans arrest? Simon or her daughter Sydney? Nobody really thought that he found his soulmate on Instagram, right? That relationship was destined to last as long as a fart in a whirlwind! That kid has always been a loser and I see nothing has changed.

Like others, I find this season so far a total snore.
Vicky... ay yi yi ... total re-enactment from the get go. And she's not winning an Emmy so someone make her stop with the yelling and carrying on. And if one was that grief-stricken, you're certainly not going to want a camera there, no matter how many years you've been slugging it out on TV. I DVR it and now just fast-forward thru her scenes.
For some reason, they're WAY oversharing this season - from coffee enemas to heal cancer to medians to outing the sex lives of kids -- seriously, Andy are Bravo and WAY over the top.
Ryan is a douchebag. I think Simon saw it, tried to overcorrect it - but Tamra wouldn't allow it. From watching Tamra the last few seasons, and how Ryan has turned out, I can understand Simon's reasoning behind keeping the kids off the show and out of Tamra's questionable judgment. Never thought I'd say that, but Tamra is running out of track and is running off the rails. Simon wasn't a posterchild for great behavior by any means, but I think Tamra could have made more money in real estate, taken a backseat to the "glam show" and then had her kids - if they were that important. I agree that Eddie and her are not going to last - not feeling it since he popped on the scene.
Shannon ... what a freak show hot mess. IF you stay, the big thing is you get it all out and then you LET IT GO - you don't use it as a weapon to continually beat your husband with the "you did this and this and this and wah, I feel bad" ... sorry no. He's going to leave her, kiss the little fairy pretty light healing stones buh-bye and run screaming back to whoever he had on the side (they're reporting that gal is married too) ... and don't give your kids details on "daddy was bad, he made me feel bad, he's not nice today" ... geeeez, shut up! He's still their Dad - they don't need to know he sucks in bed, yours or otherwise.
Megan aka Giraffe woman ... please make her leave. soon. okay now. Edmonds - holy cow what a waste of air. Why do these losers marry these twats? That offensive shirt at Target that says "Trophy" ... yup, she needs one. His wife with the cancer (hopefully in remission) is lovely and balanced and appears normal, especially for that group. She looks like she's just going "hey why not enjoy this, giraffe kidwoman is stuck with him" LOL Their daughter reminds me of all the other RH kids - they see cameras and turn on the obnoxious.
In an odd way, Heather seems normal ... she exaggerates her "I'm so busy", but hey, she's the rich one with a REAL mansion ... maybe they should have built in BHills and she could have job transferred!

I am currently watching this season while catching up on some back seasons. I just finished seven and am half way through eight. In comparing past seasons I think Heather is her most natural self this season. All the rest she seemed to be acting. She was kinda mean girl in 7 me 8 but that didn't seem genuine to me. I've read she was really awful in nine, too. She doesn't seem so pretentious now either. By the way, (lol) am I the only one who notices she starts amost every sentence with, "by the way"? If not, you will now that I've pointed it out Vicki, I think the bowling alley scene was set up. Absolutely. It seemed like she was just waiting for a chance to use that line. I don't know about the scene at Shannon's. It feels acted to me but eveyone else's reaction and the chaos seem so real. Brooks entrance seemed acted, too. I kinda wonder if she didn't request or wasn't offered a chance to reenact it sometime later, given the personal nature of it all. The real moment doesn't seem like something one would want to share with strangers. Brooks and cancer. I don't know. It seems too evil to fake it but I also absolutely believe he is a con artist. Watching past seasons his manipulation of Vicki is BLATANT. Megan is annoying, she creates drama for the sake of creating it. The whole birth control thing was out of left field and delivered so unnatural. It was like there was a break in natural conversation and she threw that in there and she said it so loud so EVERYONE in the car would hear. I think she was trying to stir up negative reactions and while everyone seemed appalled no one bit. Poor Megan. I also felt the break down about how hard it is to parent your almost peer was fakey-fake. And her husband just doesn't seem that into her, does he? Shannon, I would probably act the same if my dh cheated on me and our marriage would probably end. I foresee the same. Tamara really does seem kinder and gentler this season. More like able on screen at least but yeah she and Eddie seem doomed. I always thought he was as much an opportunist as Brooks.
