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. Tamra's son Ryan and his fiancee are on the show too, so I don't think it's that odd that Brianna is on. Plus she's been on forever, as long her mom's been on, lol!

Shannon, Shannon, Shannon. So you puffed up, so what. Move on and focus on your actual problems, which start with a D and not a V.
Briana: don't care, but great job staying neutral. Quite ambassadorial. (Is that a word?!)
Tamra: baby party, wine, not much else
Vicki: not much going on this week
Meghan: Yes, being a mom is work
Kelly's boobs go jump roping at the gym
New girl discusses loss of boobs plus gaining of diamonds
Lydia calls Shannon out and is roundly Beadored, with screeching and huffy outrage.
David sits grayly on the sidelines as Shannon embarrasses her daughter's friends.
Lydia's mother sprinkles fairy dust and I think everyone should just be glad it wasn't angel dust

It has been said before, but I really miss the old days of RHOC when it was more about the families.
Don't care about the magazine thing that Lydia has going - is owning a magazine even a thing these days? How do they really make money?
Tamara is borrrrring but I do hope they talk about the reconciliation that she has had with her oldest daughter. That would be nice to see. Did anyone else find it odd that when they were all singing Happy Birthday to Ava, Ryan was on one side of Ava and Tamara was on the other? Tamara was in the middle of Ava and Ava's mom???
Brianna is borrrrring too! Yep, it is a lot of work taking care of 2 little boys by yourself but .....Brianna made the decision to leave their dad behind instead of staying with him until he could leave OK. Her house looks super tiny - like apartment sized. She never seems to have any energy or fun.
Jimmy was fun to watch with little Aspen.
I thought Vicki and her boy friend were super awkward together. They don't appear to have much to talk about or much in common.
Shannon and David make me sad.

Briana/Tamra/Vicki: Why is Briana on the show? Because Vicki needs someone to talk to during her scenes. The other wives have husbands to film all their at home scenes with. Lydia was so condescending to Shannon. This is the woman that wrote a book on her relationship with Jesus. A woman of faith doesn't say "can you let me talk", she's so busy being "right" she doesn't want to hear Shannon let out her frustrations and be understanding and show compassion to someone in duress. I'm a little confused though, Lydia is not new, why are they just meeting? Did she change housewife shows?

This is what I found on her: her money comes from being a heiress but she has magazine experience in her family to show her the ropes.

That's a good point, Vicki does need someone to talk to during her scenes so it makes sense that Briana is around. Vicki was on Andy Cohen's late night show the other night and they gave a scene from next week...apparently they were tossed from the restaurant! Can't remember who was screaming, Kelly definitely (shocker ) and maybe Shannon. Not a fan of Kelly's at all, wish they'd gotten rid of her. Shannon I wish would get it together, I feel a bit bad for her. She doesn't have her shit together at all and just continues to let it all play out on tv.

Man, that show was cuckoo bananas! Meghan's baby is adorable, but can she see ghosts? LOL!
Shannon's personal trainer really rubbed me the wrong way. He practically told Shannon that if she doesn't get back in shape that her husband is going to cheat on her again. Gross.
And poor Peggy. Her conversations with Shannon were so awkward!
I found it ironic that Kelly's regular hangout is at a place called The Quiet Woman. What a B! Shannon really needs to quit letting Kelly get under her skin.

I wanted to slap her trainer every time he said "wow". So rude and insensitive. Kelly's behavior at the restaurant was bananas. She really does enjoy making people react. But Shannon has got to quit being so damn dramatic and screechy!

WTF! Little miss Christian, Lydia, is solely responsible for that shit show of a dinner. And then her prayer! What a fucking joke. That whole setup just completely changes my opinion of her. This show is not healthy for Shannon. She really needs to step away and take care of her mental and physical health. So far I'm not a fan of Peggy. Heard Tamra & Megan say it and it's true, Peggy totally has RBF...resting bitch face! Its its pretty clear why Heather did not come back. She has too much class for this show.

Lydia is trying to push her way into being everyone's friend, phoning Kelly and inviting her to dinner when she wasn't invited. And who invites people to a dinner when you're the "new girl"? Although I know it's scripted and at some point they all have to meet/be together, you couldn't pay me enough money to act the way Kelly does.
Not sure I'm liking Peggy, nothing really to like yet.
And I am sad for Shannon, I have always liked her, hope she can get it all together. I agree, her trainer is an ass.

I feel like they are really grasping with the cast of OC these days. None of them really have anything going on. OK so Meghan has a new baby who sees ghosts Tamra seems to spend her day working out, Vicki expanding her business. Lydia was boring a few years ago when she was on and still is...she seems to be back to stir the shit. I see nothing I like about Kelly Dodd, she's a drunk who likes to insult people and stir the pot. And good lord Shannon, I can't even with her. I hated the trainer and his wow's too! She really overshares and is always losing it. I'm starting to see that she only sees her own opinion as the right opinion. I feel bad for her, she's been so unhappy in her life from what we've seen since she joined the show. She always seems to be losing it.

I know the whole point of these shows is wish fulfillment and watching pretty women spend money and travel. I'm consistently turned off by the over-the-top conspicuous consumption of people like Peggy and her husband, though. That being said, when she mumbled "Brussels sprouts good" in the middle of the restaurant fight? TV gold!
I hate watching Shannon so far this season. She's always had odd eating issues, IMO, but it's just awful to watch her walk into every situation and announce how "fat" she's gotten. As though she's committed a crime.

I guess the focus this year is on Shannon's weight but if she just didn't have to tell everyone all the time, we'd probably forget about it. I mean we all might think "oh Shannon has gained some weight" but then we would think she's just like the rest of us.
I know she's not happy with her weight gain but to me she is more "real" versus the stick thin people like Lydia and Peggy.

I watched the shit show. It's like a death sentence that Shannon gained weight. It really makes me think they just never get out of their own little OC bubble. I noticed that Meghan had her 2 minutes, Vicki had her 2 minutes both separate from the others. It was weird. I don't think Meghan will be back next year. Shannon needs to take a chill pill though-I can't take the screeching anymore. Kelly Dodd can just eat a bag of dicks. She's completely worthless. She has a dark, dark heart. Tamra is boring, Lydia is boring and Peggy doesn't appear to buy in to the b.s. so I don't think she'll last. Bring back Gina!

Wow. That was so bad. Shannon is just not mentally healthy right now. You'd think she's never seen another woman who's not a size 2. Maybe she should tour the Midwest for a while, we'll make her feel a little better and she can have cheese curds and beer without anyone judging But seriously, her description of her day as being devastating because she stepped on a scale and found out how much she weighs? Girl please. She won't tell David because she thinks he'll leave? He has eyes, doesn't he? Your weight isn't really some secret, nor is it a deadly disease. Shut up and hit the gym and eat your vegetables. I've gained weight too, and I've felt self conscious, but I hope I never sounded that weird about it. I really dislike Kelly. She's so nasty, down to her core. She's always drinking and going out of her way to be hurtful. I just have no use for her. I see next week we're treated to yet another housewife having a laser inserted into her vag...we get it, Bravo. Please stop. Peggy, I'm not sure yet. I don't know why Meghan came back. I lol'd when Vicki's underlings discussed making a "layer of insulation" for her because she just has too kind and trusting a heart.

oh man, I have it taped, I can't wait to watch! I almost feel guilty for watching this because I can't stand the idea of giving Kelly my time or encouraging them to keep Shannon on when she's so nutty. The while episode felt toxic for everyone involved. Plus I'm about to start a petition to Free David. He's done his time for his crime--now it's just cruel and unusual punishment to stay in that relationship IMO. Lat week's NY was so funny by comparison, lighthearted fun with the Countess falling into the bushes and Ramona's peely face and Sonja pretending that her townhouse isn't a moldy dog kennel with non working plumbing and threadbare carpets and couches.

OMG yes! Shannon is a batshit lunatic and should be on some major meds. She throws money at all these wakadoos to hang crystals in her house and poke pins in her but her problems are mental. She was brought up an heiress (Magnin department stores) and I don't think she was ever told 'no' or denied anything. She marries this good looking, mild mannered mid-western blue collar guy and makes his life a living hell. He's stuck with her, I doubt he'll ever leave her, due to the kids, and I'm sure he loves his OC lifestyle. Did you read the accounts of his affair? The married woman he was messing around with claims he got obsessed and 'in love' with her really fast and it got scary. I think he's just dumb and desperate. Not long after it was over both families were in the stands at a USC game and Shannon went after her in public. While I get *wanting* do do that, can you imagine the humiliation not only to her own family, but herself? She's unhinged and I agree, she does not belong on tv, this can't be good for her. I get that she's overweight and unhappy with herself, but like everything else in her life, anything not less than perfect is unacceptable in her mind, I bet its driving her crazy! The first two seasons on the show they were the darlings, but not so much any more. Kelli continues to make me cringe. OMG Bravo, please cast a Latina who is not a tacky, low class drunk! I agree that NY is much better this season. Drunk Luanne made my week! Sonja's house..omg that's hilarious! Ew..so nasty, with the brown water and the brown ice! I doubt Tinsley truly spent a single night there, for fear of cooties.

No, I've never read anything about any of them, I just let the show tell me all I need to know. BUT I have to say, I've been in Shannon's shoes and I most definitely would have ripped that woman's clothes off and beat her face if she would have shown up in public where I was. Not any more though, that was long ago and I couldn't care less about her anymore. I'm so dull

When I Magnin closed down it was so sad. Or was it J that closed first? Such old school beautiful department store. The one on Wilshire..ahh..gorgeous art deco, just like Bullocks Wilshire. Those were the days. There was one on State Street in Santa Barbara that was just so..IDK out of place but then not. Old money along with the newer, funky SB. And yes, Kelli is Mexican American and she broadcast that on like, her first episode and I was dying inside..nooooo! Please don't be representin' me! Ugh, we need that see no evil monkey emoticon here.

Wow, y'all are going down the "way back when" path with I Magnin. We had one here, but it closed, sheesh, must be close to 30 years ago. Odd factiod: I got pickpocketed in the DT Seattle Nordstrom. The thieves then went on a spending spree with my checkbook which included furs at I Magnin, along with purchases at Ben Bridge Jewelers. They finally were caught when using my ID, etc to buy gas. The woman was black. I am (lily) white. Boggles my mind that back in the day of checkbooks, and writing down ID's on checks that they were able to use my checkbook and ID and get away with it. Sorry for the hijack. If it helps get back on track, I think they're all batshit crazy
