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

I didn't get to watch last night! Hopefully I'll catch up this week.

I don't know what to think about the whole Vicki/Brooks thing. As much as I enjoy Vicki, I think she needs to be off the show.

Watching right now. Vicki is such a controlling diva witch. As I said before, Tamra laid the groundwork and set this all up. Vicki can tell others how to live their life, but don't ever say anything to her. As for what Meghan said, all she did was repeat what the psychic said, but let's not let the facts get in the way of a good drama for Bravo. And, let's face it, if every time we got together with friends, someone screwed up the event, I'd be done.

I also hate seeing the old bathtub video. Yuck. Plus, anyone notice how not into it Tamra seemed when Eddie was kissing her? Like she was trying to get away from him.

Shannon's Dr. Moon makes me laugh. How could anyone take what he does seriously?

I read online last night that the next 6 weeks of the show is really focused in Vicki and Brooks and uncovers a "double life" and she wants to put as much distance between them as possible before it airs.

 

[NewRVLady]

Goof I read that too!
Vickie broke up with him because the next few weeks are going to embarrass her!!!!

 

[pigletgirl]

Has Vicki openly stated why she broke up with Brooks? Is that going to be part of this season?

 

[Briarmom]

Ohhh. I want to know what happened!!

Meghan??????????????????

honestly with the flip flops between her interaction/comments with her husband on the way to the event vs. at the event pre/mid/post Vicky fight vs. in the limo vs. her post filming commentary????????????????????

i hope it's not the case but given the timing i gotta wonder if he's not a smart enough/been through the divorce mill twice before kind of guy to have calculated that in the grand scheme of things:

1. with at least one (publicly troubled re. school attendance at minimum) minor child whose mother (his ex) is dying of a terminal disease, and as a result will become his sole responsibility (read need custodial supervision), and

2.is hot for a much younger woman (14 years) ga-ga with him/aspiring for 'celebrity' who happens (despite the stupidity common sense wise she displays on t.v.) to hold a very marketable degree/history of being financially self reliant (read w/a short marriage and no kids from it-results in a valid argument that she can be entirely self supporting and marketable post divorce so no need for spousal support)......................


to crunch the numbers such that w/a decent prenuptial agreement he can ensure he's got his California booty call in place who also provides full bore child care for the (now) motherless minor at much less cost than childcare let alone dating gifts, dinners and other 'panty dropping' expenses would entail w/Meghan as his wife vs. his girl friend.


me thinks the same as Vicky-this is not a marriage that will last. he didn't marry her for love-he married her for practicality, and once he no longer has the need she will be 'gone with the wind'.....................but not fabulous.

 

[Vernie822]

Oh gosh.. I remember the beginning of season sneak peeks from Heather "WHO WOULD MAKE UP CANCER!"

Anxious to see how this all plays out. Not insinuating he's making it up (WHO WOULD DO THAT!?) because I have no clue.

I can't stand Meghan. It's sad because I'm a baseball fan and I've always liked Jim Edmonds. Just seems like this marriage won't last. I think he has 2 or 3 other young kids with his second wife too.

 

[Briarmom]

Tamra told her "pasture" that she had a sex party.

I still really dislike Briana's husband. He just rubs me the wrong way. I feel for Briana. That military moving/not knowing anyone doesn't ever get easier. It only gets harder.

I am glad she mentioned that she's a nurse and that no one with stage 3 cancer goes traveling on business. Again, only the last 3 minutes of the show were interesting.

Rumor has it, Vicki caught Brooks cheating...AGAIN. Supposedly, there is a recording of his confession.

Brianna's husband has always seemed controlling. Remember when they were living with Vicki and he set up surveillance cameras? Then there was that time he got into an argument with someone, I cant remember who but i think it was someone's mother or something, about her putting her feet up on furniture at a party?
Brianna seems like she's having a hard time and feeling isolated. He seems to like it. At the restaurant she was talking about it being hard to not know anyone there and he said it was good because it makes thrm be together. That gave me a weird vibe.
I've always gotten the impression he was trying to isolate Brianna.

It was Lydia's mother. Ryan did seek help for PTSD after that.

Ahh. Not surprising.

Yep. I thought that was very weird.

Briana is the voice of reason when it comes to her mother and Brooks. Vicki flew off the handle because she wants to maintain the illusion that all is hunky dory in the land of Vicki and Brooks. Briana's husband is sketchy and I still don't like him. He is just nasty. The way he spoke to Vicki about putting stuff away when she was playing in the yard with the little boy was just rude to put is simply.

Meghan needs to back off the Vicki/Brooks/cancer issue and let it go.

Tamra -- she is lying to Eddie and I don't blame Eddie one bit for his line of thinking on helping Ryan. Ryan is immature and has depended on Tamra's help for far too long.

Shannon -- good grief. They are just involving their children in their relationship issues in a way that is unnecessary and damaging.

Heather & Terry crack me up.

 

[sunshinehighway]

I want to know more about Shannon's family. I know she comes from money. Last night she said that dress she was wearing was her grandmother's and that designers used to special make dresses for her. Anyone know anything about Shannon's background?

 

[sunshinehighway]

Eh. He never apologized to her. Both Brianna and he blamed Lydia's mother and editing, even at the reunion which was months later. Honestly, saying he's seeking help for PTSD, the help was some kind of weekend retreat, sounds more like a way to help him look less bad without really owning up to his behavior.

 

[Vernie822]

I can't blame Briana for moving to Oklahoma. I do see what you're saying about him being "controlling" - he has her to himself now, just them and their two boys. But living in OC would put them around all of the RHOC drama and I can't blame them for wanting to get away from that. Did they move to OK because of Ryan's military job?

I love Heather and Terry. A little pretentious? Sure, at times. But they seem like a loving family that's really fun and I like that about them.

Still laughing at Meghan in the limo with Jim "because, justice."

I thought the Beador's dinner idea was really cute. However it made me sad. Those kids shouldn't be exposed to all of that. Shannon's outfit was awesome though.

Yes. Ryan is stationed there. I believe Briana said they'd been there one year and had two years left there. Imagine what will happen if they have to move overseas. Briana wouldn't even be able to work in order to socialize.
I've been a military spouse for a zillion years and I automatically dislike any dad who makes their sons get the same haircut they have to have.

I believe, that Shannon's grandfather was CEO of I Magnin department stores. This would likely account for her grandmother's "special dresses".

 

[goofinoff]

I'm surprised Brianna didn't move far away from Vicki sooner!! I know I would! Just to get away from her screeching! She's so obnoxious.
