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

Yes, this too! Starting a fight with a woman, what a classless idiot. This may have been mentioned already, but how is it Brooks had no money to fix his own teeth - but he could buy Vicky a fur coat? Me thinks Vicky bought her own coat and staged that whole thing.

I think he bought it for her-but with her money. He doesn't have any. He is a scam artist living off a lonely, recently divorced woman. She is an idiot for falling for it.

I agree that Alexis' husband is a D-bag, HOWEVER, that conversation should have been between him and Terry and MAYBE Heather. I don't know why Tamra had to come over. It had nothing to do with her and I think I would've left too.

Tamra coming over reminded me immediately of the old Tamra -- such a little troublemaker. I can't stand Jim, but he did the right thing by leaving. Granted, he should have taken his wife with him . . .

...and whether Tamra gave Vicki the evil eye or not, who is Brookes to call her out on it? I would have been furious with DH if her ever did that.

I think probably what happened is that when Vicki toasted Alexis, Tamra rolled her eyes -- not toward/at Vicki, but about toasting Alexis considering the reason they were all sitting there to talk had to do with Jim/Alexis. Tamra should've just said, "Yeah, I gave a look, but it was about Alexis, NOT you". It's so obvious that Brooks is trying to break Vicki away from her friends so she only has him in her life -- he is such a gold digging manipulator. How can she not see this?

This is exactly what I think! And as far as his age . . . either he looks horrible for his age or this is just another lie he has told Vicki -- figured she would like to be with a "younger man". Brooks is very cunning. When they were getting ready to leave, it was his idea to go back to the party. I think he felt the timing wasn't quite ripe for him to look like he was trying to break up her other relationships, so when he gets accused of this (i.e., breaking up relationships), he can say, "It was my idea to go back to the party!" One more thing re: his teeth -- before Vicki paid to fix them, she was dating a guy who was missing a tooth?!

Tamra will always be a trashy, classless, gold digging, social ladder climbing...witch. She used, Simon, Jeana and Vicki. Now, she latched onto Eddie, Heather and Terry.

Bravo to Jim for walking out and to Brooks for calling Tamra out.

Speaking of Tamra, I saw on the upcoming scenes of the reunion that she calls Alexis Jesus Jugs!

 

[louey]

No way is Brooks 45!!! Does anyone know how old his children are? he has 4 right? Vicky needs to get on the clue train, how come EVERYONE knows and thinks he is pondscum and she doesn't

They showed that last night on WWHL! She usually calls her Jesus Barbie!


They also showed a clip of Heather calling Alexis out for the way she treats the crew and they all agreed that she treated them like crap. I think that she is as phony as her you-know-whats! She and her husband both want people to think that they are something that they are not....rich and classy!!

I really think that cast needs to be shaken up a little. I would love to see Vicki and Alexis not return next season. And I certainly hope they don't cast that drunken fool Sarah! She's a train wreck! I loved when Tamra said "There's a village missing their idiot....time to go back to your village!!"

Sometimes love is blind ... and dumb, stupid & delusional ...

I googled it after I watched the show because I couldn't believe he was under 45 and I found an article from 2010 that said he was 43 so I guess it's true.... And his kids are 21, 18, 12 and 3.

 

[anniemae]

Wow, I thought Brooks was in his 50's!

 

[klj27]

I can't believe he has a three year old! How is he providing for his children??

 

[goofinoff]

I don't believe he is. He went to jail not too long ago! That's what Gretchen's beef was with Vicki....that she had so much to say about Slade but yet her boyfriend is a dead-beat dad as well! I wouldn't be surprised if 6 months from now Vicki is all over the news saying that she's broke and Brooks is responsible for it. Vicki as always been a very smart woman when it comes to her money but she seems to have let her guard down when it comes to this guy. I wonder what her relationship is with her daughter now that she is expecting a child. Hopefully she hasn't ruined her relationship over this scumbag!

 

[becky_AK]

Anyone else catch Vicki tell her son in law that Brooks was almost 45??? He looks 65!!!! 45? For real?

I could not believe Brooks is only 45! Seriously, he does look 65. I still don't get what Vickie sees in him, but I guess love is blind.

 

[snoopy two]

Vicki fixed his teeth, but what about that nose? Is it next?

 

[Suelala]

Whew! It was hard to get anything done today, once I discovered this topic thread and had to read each and every page! Watching the housewives is one of my guilty pleasures. I always think I wish I had lots of money, but apparently the old saying that money doesnt buy happiness is absolutely true.Brooks grosses me out...ugly...phony, with all of those weird cliched "romantic" things he says to Vicky...I think he makes Slade seem like a much better person! Brooks is everything that Vicky and Tamra flapped their gums over with Slade. I thought Vicky was a shrewd business woman, as her best quality, but she is stupid to allow him access to her money, her car, etc.
Eddie evidently doesnt/has never watched the show, or he would run from Tamara. She has to be surrounded by drama all the time, and if there isnt any, she will make it up. She lies and her version of an event never matches what actually happened.
I , too, liked Donn, and I think Terry is a very real, very nice man...and he really does make as much money as some of the others pretend they have, but he is still down to earth .
Leave Alexis alone! She really is mentally challenged.
Vicky being such a...bee..about her daughters marriage. A wedding is not about anyone but the couple. Grow up!
OK, thanks for allowing me to rant!

 

[Realgrumpy]

Ugh...Tamra is such a bad fake cryer.

 

[pittypat]

Gretchen! Stop licking your teeth and tugging at your strapless dress!! You're a pretty girl. STOP IT!

 

[bdcp]

I thought Brooks was at least 55 or older. To me he comes across as slimey.

It had nothing to do with Jim either. It was a comment about Alexis made by Terry, why did Jim have to stick his nose in it? It was a stupid little comment and he's just blowing it out of proportion.

I say Bravo to Jim for saying he wouldn't be apart of that BS.

I don't think that's why he left. The whole reason he showed up at the party unannounced was to cause drama and when it didn't go his way he stomped out like a big baby, not because he didn't want to be part of it.

I don't balme Jim. I wouldn't want to sit at the same table with trashy Tamra either. She's always stirring the pot and sticking her nose into everyone's business. She's a classless, gold-digging, hanger-on.

Anyone know when the reunion episodes are? They don't seem to be showing up any time soon on my DVR schedule. I thought they were usually the week after the season's final episode.
