~ The Real Housewives of Orange County ~ Season 12~ 2017 ~ JULY 10th

But why is everyone saying "meghan said Brooks is faking cancer"? I mean, They were all there with the psychic. Meghan didn't make it up. And it was even Tamra's psychic! Meghan didn't seek this person out. Such baloney.

I'm not team Meghan or team Vicki but I can call someone out who's a raving lunatic and that would be Vicki!

Totally agree. The psychic said it. Everyone heard it. And Vicki then said her whole thing about Jesus and Brooks being healed from cancer since the psychic said it. It may be the most bizarre thing that's ever happened on RHOC, and that's saying a lot!

I find it interesting that Vicki said when she and Brooks were talking about what Megan could hand said he went right to his treatment and cancer. Guilty conscience maybe??

I'm just so sick of Vicki talking crap about everyone and then getting so PO'd when someone says something about her. She has something to say about everyone. She said she didn't think Megan and Jim's marriage was good because he's only home 50% of the time. But god forbid if someone talks about her man. And why can't she say my? She says muh....."Muh man, Muh kids, Muh family". It's my Vicky my!!!!

Can we just go back to Shannon's problems again? I mean, she has her health, she has her family, she still has her husband. The 51st Birthday bust? What could've possibly made her happy that day? Her kids were so happy and enjoying themselves and she was so miserable. She should probably just get divorced.

She's miserable! She says she doesn't want her kids to stress over their marital problems....well, here's a solution shannon.....don't talk to your kids about your marital problems! They are kids!!! Did you notice she picked apart everything last night...."David, these ribs are covered in fat!" Apparently David is responsible for the food she orders at the restaurants that are approved by her.

 

[Allison]

That really annoyed me. What did she want? She sat there pouting through the whole thing.

They share way too much with their girls and honestly, she complains about everything so why should the birthday dinner be any different? She's overly obsessed with food. Shannon is still punishing David, even though she probably doesn't think she is. She is completely miserable and I think David is too.

 

[Miskey]

We had a bad storm and subsequent power outage last night, so I didn't get to watch. From the previews, it seemed to me like Vicki was dishing it out, and Megan dished right back. I was looking forward to watching because it would be nice to see someone finally put Vicki in her place.

 

[NewRVLady]

I think it's a really BAD idea to have Tweens on that show
Older teens can handle that limelight....but Shannon's kids will be harmed by this nonsense...she was SO so sad at that dinner

I have no idea why she doesn't get divorced. She obviously thinks it's all her fault that David cheated and that the fault is because of her body. She's just miserable. If she didn't want to go to a 'pub' that was obviously just a terrible place for her TPing kids to be she should have said 'no thanks, I'd rather go to X on my bday.' But instead she whined.

The girls shouldn't even know that David cheated. I really don't get why she ordered fatty foods if she wanted a salad??

For about 3 minutes. The rest was blah.

I don't know that I'd have my teen on it either.

 

[TLSnell1981]

The scenes were shot out of order. Nasty Tamra ambushed Brooks with the surprise birthday cake, AFTER the girls met with the psychic. What a vile group of women. No wonder, Shannon and Vicki were so upset.

I think, the oldest daughter found out, after reading a message from dad's mistress on his cellphone.

 

[lucky978]

I agree. Shannon acted like a complete spoiled brat for her birthday. I'm sure she had some say in where they went - what did she expect? How about being happy that you have healthy children with you to celebrate your birthday instead of fussing about everything and blaming David for the meat? Cannot stand her wining anymore.

I don't really care for Megan but I don't know whey she is the one getting blamed for the Brooks lack-of-cancer accusation. She didn't say that's what she thought - she simply said that is what the psychic said. Vicky should be just as upset with Tamra, and perhaps even more for setting him up with that bogus birthday bash.

I don't understand why these women agree to be on this show anyways. Production manipulates every situation, every event and every conversation to make it interesting for better ratings. Basically these women are soap opera characters but instead of being a tv drama, it's their real lives that are being impacted. I think I'm done watching. Too sad if you look at the big picture.

I finally got to watch this week's trainwreck.

So Shannon - what a miserable, hateful woman. She was just looking for reasons to be miserable and to pick a fight. If she had another dinner spot in mind, why not speak up and say, "I want to go to ____ for my birthday dinner with our family."? Nope, instead she took the opportunity to make it out that she was the "victim" once again. Ugh. She hasn't forgiven her husband and I don't think she ever will, so I'm not understanding her unwillingness to get out and move on. The man is trying and she is just knocking him down. I don't know what her expectations for her make up birthday were, but my guess is that she did not express what she wanted and expected David to be a mind reader. She needs to get it together.

Vicki/Megan -holy cow! Vicki was NASTY! Megan was not at all at fault here. Vicky and her screeching and accusing and just being a vile woman was terrible. I was impressed that Megan didn't completely lose her crap on Vicky after that. At least Tamra tried to speak up and stand up for Megan in that scenario. Vicky just wanted a reason to flip out and made an issue where there really wasn't one. I mean, there was definitely an issue, but it wasn't with Megan.

Heather and her house tour - I was cracking up because even these overindulged women were thinking her house was too big and extravagant lol A luggage room?? 14 bathrooms?? Her closet is bigger than my room and my younger son's room put together.

 

[Miskey]

I think I'm done watching.

Me, too. There's not many TV shows I really keep up with, but I've watched the housewives since the beginning. It's just always been a fun guilty pleasure.

I quit watching Atlanta last season,because I just couldn't stand the screeching, not letting anyone speak, and just how vile they treated each other. I'm just about to that point with the OC because of Vicki.

Shannon's kids are the reason I'm about done. I don't think they are protected enough from adult issues and problems. I don't see how being on the show is a positive for them.

I agree, and there are plenty of housewives that do not have their children on the show because the other parent won't allow it. (Tamara, Bethany, Brandi, off the top of my head) Kids should not be on until they're old enough to sign their own release

 

[fly girl]

I don't either. If they were on showing the family dynamic (ie, meals or homework time at Heather's) that's fine. However, I don't see that with Shannon's girls. They're thrusted into the spousal turmoil and it's terribly uncomfortable to watch. It's exploiting them at a very sensitive time and age. I don't like it.

It is really sad to see what women will put up with just to be married to a man with money. Shannon and Megan both need to walk away from those marriages.

Whaaattt??? Where do you get that from? Shannon has been married for years, and you know what? There CAN be actual love for a person even if they have money. They've got kids now. I'd be extremely reluctant to allow my family to break up when there are children involved. Might it happern for them? Maybe. Is she doing it right? She's angry, you betcha, and she needs to back off. But staying and putting up with the marriage JUST TO BE MARRIED TO A MAN WITH MONEY?? Wow.

As far as Meghan...and I absolutely can't stand her...from what I see, I think she got caught up in being married AND being a step-mom. Did she also get caught up in money and fame? Could be. But I wouldn't be so quick to say JUST to be married to a man with money. smh

Whoa. Chill out. I get that Shannon has kids. So what? Her husband cheated on her for MONTHS! There is no trust left in that relationship and continuing with the marriage "for the kids" does a huge disservice to the kids, who are learning really critical life and relationship lessons right now. I guarantee if Shannon was the one making all the money, she would have left David in a heartbeat. As it stands, she is used to her lifestyle and doesn't think she can make it on her own. She obviously has a LOT of issues with self confidence.

I'm not saying these women are gold diggers or anything like that. But it is very obvious that these women like to keep up appearances over looking out for their own well being. Megan's husband is a complete jerk who is treating her like garbage ON CAMERA, for all the world to see. He is never home. That marriage is one of convenience for both of them. Jim gets a babysitter for his daughter and Megan gets to play trophy wife.

Shannon is the one with the money. She comes from an extremely privileged background, and if it were not for her family money David's business would never have been able to get off the ground. Shannon can leave if she wants to.
