Thoughts?
The entire time I watched I felt so bad for Shannon. I Have loved her since day one on the show, and she looks so sad. I really thought that things in her life were working out after the affair. But she doesn't look like herself, and I do not mean the weight at all. She looks defeated.

She did look very sad and not like herself at all. I think she's probably still having marriage issues that are contributing to her lack of well being. I never thought I'd miss Heather, but I do. I'm not really into the cast this year but I'm sure I'll continue to watch.

I sometimes think Shannon isn't happy unless she's in crisis. Of course we never know what happens behind the scenes in a marriage, but the way she reacts to things David says and does is super exasperating. I'm starting to feel bad for the guy.

Shannon and David interacting when she was making dinner was so awkward. They definitely had something bad vibes going there.

There's another thread on page 2, here were my thoughts:
polargreen12 likes this Quote likePost Options They could leave Brianna off forever. I hate watching her frump around looking like a grouchy broodmare.
I like Lydia ok I guess, had nothing against her before. She's like Denise Richards' Jesus loving little sister. I bet she's glad Brianna's dickface husband was left behind stayed in Oklahoma, in case she wants to invite her kooky mother to any more dinner parties.
Lolol @ Shannon's 40lbs of Vicki stress. Nice try. We can all see your marriage has been toxic for years. I get how she feels, though. I still haven't stripped off the extra pounds I put on last year and I hate feeling lumpy.
Kelly is a messy drunk, I hope she gets a grip on that. The back of her mom's head is a concern to me. Not since the days of Kate + 8 has such a disconnect been made between front hairs and back hairs all stuck on the same head. Casual in the front, Hurricane in the back.
Bye Heather and your dead shark eyes and fame whore husband and stupid waste of money mansion.
Could have skipped the skinny one with the baby, she's not my favorite. I actually had totally forgotten about her.
Tamra can never be kicked off, she's the best part. Whether it's taking a swipe at someone sideways in the name of the Lord or working out with her gay chipmunk-cheeked husband or dabbing at fake tears, I can count on her to give the show some much-needed levity.
Vicki's boyfriend looks like he won't be around for the long haul. He should run now before Briana starts meddling.

You and me both! I mean, really? She needs praise for her quinoa? And the absolute defeated look she had when David shrugged his shoulders over it. He's TIRED of having to constantly validate her whiny ass. She was a spoilt child and she still acts like it. I like her, but she's her own worst enemy. She's driving David away with her neediness and constant drama.

OH, I cringe at her. LOL at her mom's hair..wtf. I feel sad for Vicki's bf. He's definitely polite and quiet and pretty much personality free (at least on camera). She's gonna get bored of him quickly.

She's driving David away with her neediness and constant drama. I thought he was rude, the proper response was "it's good". She's cooking for him, he should be appreciative. Even basic food can taste good. She didn't look like that over just the quinoa, this was clearly #123 of all the things he's done just added up. I do wonder why he stays with her when he doesn't seem to like her? Is he afraid she'll fall apart without him and doesn't want to leave his kids to this mess? Saying she gained 40 lbs over Vicky's allegation that he beats her makes me wonder if he does? Maybe he's abusive in private so the kids don't see. She's still a beautiful woman, just no longer looks like a rich LA housewife.

Naw, I totally disagree. She even said she was making quinoa "again". Who the f needs validation more than once over a pot of quinoa?
I imagine she probably went nutso on him and he had to restrain her and she screamed 'cops'. The guy is a passive dork.

He seems like a passive dork, but still waters run deep...I'm not sure what to think about all that, to be honest. There could have been some physical violence when she found out about the other woman (who cam blame her if she attacked him and who can blame him if he defended himself), but I have to admit the picture of him regularly beating his wife seems ludicrous. He's so gray and mousey. He also has dead Xanax eyes and looks like he wishes someone would off him and put him out of his misery in all their scenes together.
She's not going to be happy with herself until she sheds that neediness and finds her own happiness.
Armchair psychology over for the day! 😃

I honestly think if there were serious domestic violence issues we'd see it with the girls. I know that house is big, but there is no way they wouldn't know what's going on. They seem at ease and comfortable with David. Shannon is the one who seems to put them all on edge. Like 'don't upset her".
That's how I see it.

That was my thought, that the girls seem quite well adjusted, but possibly they hide it well. I can't see it, but who knows what goes on behind closed doors.

I missed it last night but I just caught an afternoon repeat. Did you see it?
1. Lydia: looks deformed but I can't quite put my finger on what it is (and yes I realize I'm going to Hell for commenting on someone's looks). 2. Shannon: really seems to be losing it. Did you see the preview for next week? OMG I feel so bad for her. And David still looks really uncomfortable. 3. Briana/Tamra/Vicki: Why is Briana on the show?
Thoughts?

Shannon was being such a B to Lydia at the party. She was like a teakettle - her voice just kept getting higher and higher. And man, she looks like a lunatic on the previews although Kelly Dodd would drive me insane too.
I appreciate a good beer at a kid's bday party, but am I the only one that thought it was a little weird to do beer tastings?
I can't remember the new girl's name, but I'm curious how she's going to fit in with the rest of the group. From what I saw, I liked her. She's been with her husband for over 20 years, and her husband and kids seem happy and normal. But we'll see what drama future episodes bring.
ETA: I thought Megan's commentary on being a mom was a little weird. I know it's not sunshine and roses all the time, but doesn't she know her family is going to see this? Hopefully she was just a victim of unfortunate editing.

I caught bits and pcs last night but it is recorded for me to watch with more detail.
The only thing I got out of it is that Shannon is losing it. The interactions with DDs and David just seem forced. Like she is only doing it due to the show. I have no idea what it is like at home for her but I do know there are times when DH and I have been at odds in the past few years and I would not want any of that time on TV for the public to pick apart. Her actions/remarks just scream not happy. AND I don't think Vicki should be taking all the blame for the stress weight.
There are times where Lydia is so pretty and then I think "hmmmm, need to shoot from another angle".
I wondered why even show the interaction of Briana if she was not going to talk to Tamra nor comment. Oh wait, it helps to feed the drama, giving them all something to talk about on camera.
It does look like next week will be a booming show. Shannon appears to lose it completely. Of course, whackadoodle is on there. I can't even remember her name.

OH, I cringe at her. LOL at her mom's hair..wtf. Right?!! I was like wait, is that bed head? Then again, Vicki's hair looked a mess when she met Lydia for lunch. Shannon looks sad. Being on this show is toxic for her and I'm surprised she returned. Haven't seen the latest episode yet, but I will.

Shannon is a mess. Her behaviour is so bizarre at times. Taking the chewed bread out of her mouth to show David? Yuck.
The new lady (Peggy?) and her family seem nice so far.
I don't think it would have killed Tamra or Brianna to speak to each other. It was nice that Eddie gave Brianna a big hug hello.

I feel like we are watching Shannon break down. She shouldn't be going off on Lydia. She could've walked away instead of getting hysterical. When someone is in that mode you can't rationalize with them and it was stupid that Lydia even tried. I thought it was kind of a boring episode last night. Peggy could be interesting just because I want to see what it's like to live with her riches!

I miss Heather! Yeah I think that is the only reason Lydia is back because I don't find her all that interesting. Plus who meets someone and then starts up with a conversation like that, although if it was me I would hope I would just walk away. Tamra has issues with Vikki too but you didn't see Lydia harping on Tamra.

Oh man, I can't wait to watch! I fell asleep last night at the very beginning and so I gave in and went to bed..so I'll have to watch it again later. One thing about Lydia, I think what catches your attention is that her eyes are HUGE for her face, and she's so skinny she's got that bobble head look about her sometimes. And her hair is so thick and heavy, there's a lot to take in. She's very striking, but I don't think you are bad to comment on her looks, Scrappyesq. She's definitely a remarkable looking person. You can't help but study her. Like..what is it about her? Shannon's meltdowns apparently continue. You know, she melts down every single season. Over the weirdest things. She just goes from zero to 60 in an instant. I'm tell you that woman is just a basket case. She's so helpless and open about herself though, I find myself still rooting for her despite her crazy rantings. I haven't seen the scene you all are talking about but dang it, poor David. I'm sorry but being married to someone like that has to be just soul sucking.

I absolutely can't STAND Lydia. I can't quite put my finger on it...entitled maybe? She seems extra sure of herself, like, yeah, she dresses really cute, and she's petite, so it's easy for her to do so, and she has great hair, and she smiles all the time, but she seems so fake and it's like she assumes everyone will automatically love her. When she approached the new lady, at the photo shoot, she almost immediately mentioned how her husband told her not to hug her because she recently had a mastectomy. Ok, so that's VERY personal. So she sits down, and within seconds, tells the woman what her husband told her about not hugging her tightly because of a recent surgery, and then asks her to elaborate. Of COURSE she has to tell her about the mastectomy: she was basically backed into a corner to do so. But then in her talking head, Lydia spins it to make it sound like this new woman could tell she had an "open heart for her," and how wonderful that she shared such personal details with her. Really, Lydia? You pretty much gave her no choice. She did that her first season a couple years ago; spun everything to make herself appear so selfless and sweet.
Then when she approached Shannon at the party, on their FIRST meeting, she brings up Vicki. Seriously? How did she EXPECT Shannon to react? And Shannon didn't YELL at her at all. She was irritated, yes, but even that took a bit to come through. She seemed pretty calm to me at first, until Lydia compared her to Vicki, which of course is offensive. Then she plays it off like Shannon is the crazy one. She's a real gaslighter, that one, and was definitely stirring the pot intentionally. But because of her sweet, smiley, playful demeanor, she'll come out smelling like a rose.
Yeah, I guess it's clear how I really feel about that chick. But I'll be hate-watching her the rest of the season, I'm sure.

She has JRD. (Juiliana Ransic Disease). Her head is too large. She also has too much hair and her eyes are like something out of a Walter Keane painting. And btw, I dont feel bad at all for commenting on her looks. She is on TV so everyone can tell her how perfectly beautiful she is. Just not everyone see her like that.

It really looks like Shannon is going off the rails this season. I've liked her in passed seasons but I'm already over her blaming her weight gain on Vicki. And her voice is like nails on a chalkboard. She's gotten so screechy. Looks like next week she over dramatically goes off on Kelly in a restaurant over an eating comment. 😯

3. Briana/Tamra/Vicki: Why is Briana on the show? Thoughts? I'm guessing that Briana is on the show at Vicki's insistence. Briana needs the money and Vicki pulls a lot of weight with BRAVO.
