Refreshing my memory, and tuning in to end of last week. Didn’t blog about it since I was in LA.
To me, it seemed like Shannon said that as a joke, about their little gathering being more fun than what Gina and Heather were having. It was a fucking joke. Why are they getting their panties so in a bunch about it? f
Terry looks utterly exhausted just coming home from work while Heather is standing there fresh as a daisy, waiting to be told she looks beautiful.
I love Shannon’s twins – the one said she fell asleep in class, and Shannon is like “schools care if you fall asleep in class” and they say “ Mom it’s Public School!” hilar!! They seem to have Shannon’s sense of humor, and the oldest is more serious and dry like David.
Hunchback Gina. I saw a lot of photos pointing this out last week. What IS up with her head hanging toward the front of her frame like it’s not even attached. Wow girl go see a chiropractor or something. And the shoulder pads are NOT helping!
Prosecco ? Of course Emily drinks Processo. (sorry I can be sort of a food and drink snob) Because it’s super sweet and loaded with sugar. Not quite as bad as Marge and the snickers coffee mate. Emily seems to be having fomo, getting the brain scan done.
Twitter peeps also joking about Jeana from vintage OC making an appearance and asking if she could come to Jen’s brain thing. I guess it is kind of strange. Maybe she needed a moment. Maybe she’s trying to get back on. I started reading the Housewives book ‘Not All Diamonds and Rose’ by Dave Quinn, and was learning about the early days of OC, the original Housewives series. Jeana was really the inspiration from the original creator, who lived near him, and thought her family dynamic was interesting. A former Playboy model/actress, a former MLB player, parents were never home, and kids were kind of bratty and all over the place. She left after a few years when it started turning into being about conflict, and the main topic of convo being boob jobs and lip fillers. The original premise of the show was just supposed to be focused on these elite women, and what they did with themselves all day, so we could all be jealous. They didn’t necessarily even interact with each other in the beginning. It was more about each Housewife and their families.
Anyway, Shane wants to do the brain scan. Wonder if it will conclude why it took him eight times to pass the bar.
This Brit, Matt’s girlfriend does look like a 15 yrs younger Kelly. I saw on Twitter or FB chat that she wants to be a housewife. That could get pretty dicey, even though we know how GREAT things are with her and Matt, (as we hear constantly)but mingling with the new girlfriend of your ex?
Noella tells Emily about Jen calling her before she was leaving for this weird, rather bizarre event, asking her to not come, due to her immature whispering to Emily thing at Shannon’s in the previous week’s episode. Noella somehow just blows it off, and worms back into her invite, just excited to have somewhere to go, and get some free food and booze.
Shannon is so funny – she owns the spanx thing and laughs at herself like no one I have ever seen.
I don’t get this whole brain thing when she’s literally a doctor, that does botox and shit?
How many times does Emily say she’s 45 years old ? She must be really excited to be 45.
Jen’s lesson on brain activity is very very boring. Read the room. She’s pointing to this graph of random people’s brain activity that no one understands. No one is paying any attention at all.
Shannon wants to talk to VaGina. Gina did say she was jealous of her. Not just jealous of the
“friendship with Heather. ” I don’t believe Shannon is jealous of Gina at all. She admits to just saying that she’s jealous of Gina’s friendship with Heather.
She tells here she’s not arrogant, and if Shannon thinks so, that’s HER problem. Shannon should’ve said “well, touche’ Houndstooth Hunchback, if you think I’m jealous, than that’s YOUR problem!” Gina insists she’s not arrogant as she makes a series of vile ugly and arrogant faces.
New episode. Yay.
Shannon and Gina still discussing this jealousy thing that she and Emily have been talking about non-stop, desperately trying to get a reaction out of Shannon. Ya know, so they can then ridicule her some more, and have something to talk about since their lives suck.
If I were Shannon (and I know, I’m sure she likes the paycheck) I would remove myself from this show after this season. This show was never to be about being ganged up on and pretending to be nice, to “set up” another, just for the sheer fun of it.
Gina is whining that Shannon brings up the help that she gave Gina for a new DUI Attorney, and she just did that to self-promote. She goes on with various other below-the-belt insults.
Emily Heather and Jen are discussing the expression “put a pin in it,” that Shannon is referencing about Gina’s need to shut the hell up about the jealousy line. (pop her inflated ego) The all-knowing Heather DuBrat clarifies that is wrong, it means to put something off until later. Well Fancy Pants, maybe that’s Shannon interpretation of the expression, so you can put a pin in it too! That’s not really the point. The point is that Gina needs to stop sounding like such a pathetic, ‘desperate housewife’ with her fake ass mind fuckery !! This is not what the viewers want !
Gina then goes on this long overly dramatic senseless tangent sarcastically stating four times “she’s so sorry feels good about herself…” which really made no sense in response to Shannon’s statement that she didn’t appreciate her asking if she has other friendships?
You would think she had this planned to say or something.
Does anyone that ACTUALLY “feels good about themselves” ever feel the need to say “I feel good about myself, and now you’re jealous of me.”
Shannon goes over how great her life has been I guess to prove to VaGina that she’s NOT really jealous of her. Gina looks down and seems to be somewhat not sure what to say, because she’s realizing how stupid and fake this is. She knows she’s losing her fake argument, so then her ‘comeback’ is, (a typical statement that would get under the most calmest person’s skin) “at the end of” the day, (why only at the end of the day ??) Shannon, I feel really sorry for you.”
Gina is being. Such. an. Asshole. Shannon calls her an asshole.
Every time Shannon said something negative about Gina, it was because she was being fed shit by Emily, repeating bitchy crap that Gina was saying, in order to trap her of course. (Again another ‘Mean Girls’ scene)
Gina runs off to Heather, like she has been trough a traumatic event, other than losing her pretend story line argument, and slinging an insult to deflect from it. She tells Heather that she said “how dare I say she’s jealous of me?” Heather for some fucking reason, utters a big dramaitc “A – GAIN???”
What’s the ‘again’ Heather DeBrat??? This is the first time she’s addressed it with her. You’re stupid.
Your butt sucking little broke ass minion friend is the one that made the jealousy statements in the first place. She nasly says it’s “so much more than that, so much more… ?? (does THAT make sense to anyone ?) and then repeats the “you wish you could get to my level…” However she fails to share her provoking comments. Heather pretends badly to act shocked. A little better than Kyle Richards’ fake shocked faces. A little.
Heather ridicules Shannon in her interview, about saying that “she’s happy dammit !!” “If you’re so happy why do you have to keep saying it?” Well Heather, because she’s being defense due to VaGina running around telling everyone she’s jealous. I’ll get into that more later.
Heather then tries to sell Gina’s fake argument to Shannon, since this is the Mean Girl Club, that VaGina doesn’t feel she’s being supportive or some shit.
I don’t recall sniffing glue today, or even having myself a wine or cocktail, (yet) but when Shannon called Heather when they were in NYC, it was all in good fun to see how they were doing, wasn’t it ? And she was just joking when she said something about “having more fun than they are…” Do these bitches own a sense of humor?
I really feel like I need to replay that.
Okay so I know that watching the Real Housewives of Wherever, is not supposed to be a show to watch for educational purposes, and certainly we all know it’s mindless entertainment for an hour or two, in the evenings. (unless you’re a ‘binger of course’), but I feel like OC (namely Heather, and Gemily) seem to be underestimating our intelligence, as if we’re brain dead morons just because we watch Bravo. Do they really that we don’t recollect a previous episode. Do they really think we can’t see through what they’re doing?
When Shannon called them while they were in NYC, it was a positive fun phone call. Now Heather has started this rhetoric of “she didn’t even ask about my podcast! The NERVE!” And of course her minions, Gemily and now even Jen, are jumping on board. I feel like they’re insulting our intelligence, where we’ll be like, “oh yeah, why DIDN’T Shannon ask about her podcast??” That was soooooo fucking rude!”
No no no no. Not this viewer anyway. I hope everyone reading this is also not falling for this.
Noella chimes in about there being a “vibe” at their get together of being left out. She tries to console Shannon that she knows they’re just acting petty, and Heather blows her stack because of being “interrupted. ”Noella is a little strange and out there, but you gotta love how she does not give ONE SHIT what Heather thinks, and is not intimidated by her. And this drives Heather CRA CRA !!!!!
She goes on in her interview that Noella “can’t just stop talking.” Okay Heather. You haven’t shut your fucking trap talking about and promoting yourself, since the first episode. And we’re not forgetting about your and Terry’s fake ridiculous mafia moment over the Nicole law suit crap. But in case you did, here’s a reminder.
Jen must be drinking some “really good wine” again and seems about three sheets to the wind, as she walks around with a laser pointing it at people and telling them what’s wrong with their face.
Shannon talks to John about the vile things that Gina said. John gets a little excited. But telling someone that you pity them is fucking evil. Sorry. It is.
Can Jen and Rynnnnnnnnnnne ever have an interaction that just seems ‘normal?’ Jen is basically begging him to compliment her presentation. He makes some stupid joke. He literally looks to me like he’s just humoring her all of the time . Like just being around her and pretending to be her husband is to humor her.
Jen begs him to kiss her, and he does some mwwwaa thing, and she demands a real kiss, and he kisses her on the lips with the fastest peck I’ve ever seen anyone do. Like how when you’re a kid, and you’re forced to kiss a relative you hate, or that smells. He also talks to her like he’s talking to a little kid.
Heather wants a ‘private moment’ with Shannon. Shannon immediately calmly says “it’s hurtful when people put labels on you that are inaccurate.” Heather deflects this by pointing out that she has called her names in the past. (eight years ago) Does this really sound like something that someone with the caliber of manners and social elegance that she claims to have ? Does Heather DuBrat really believe that two wrongs make a right? If one of her kids was calling the other a name, would she say “just call him/her names too?”
This was another desperate deflection move. I hope we’re all seeing this. Heather says in her yapping head thing, again, ridiculing Shannon about being on the defense, when they are gas lighting her, and putting her of the defense.
She says in her next yap scene that “at the end of the day, (STOP SAYING AT THE END OF THE DAY!!) you don’t tell people that you’re a good friend, you SHOW them.” Sorta like when she stepped in with an actual attorney that wasn’t a bargain found on Craig’s List, to prevented Gina’s ass from getting thrown in jail. Sorta like that Heather ???? Also maybe Gemily could SHOW that they’re a good friend to her??? Statement full of hypocrisy.
Sgt. Heather and her soldiers gossip about Shannon having to say ‘she’s a good friend’ and ‘kind’ etc . When people do that, in this situation, it’s called being defensive, because you are being put down and falsely accused of something, that puts you on the defense stupid Heather. I would think that someone that used the word ‘punitive’ in place of ‘punish’ would realize this. I don’t mean to state the obvious, but that is why in a court case, the person being accused of something is a ‘defendant.’ Making them forced to explain/defend themselves. My God.
New scene — great because tired of listening to lies and fabricated reasoning from those two. Noella is seeing a relationship advisor and talking about her dad being a deadbeat. So sad. Moving on. Kind of over this. Kind of over Noella, unless she’s insulting Heather.
Gemily meet up. Gina’s claiming there is some demon thing inside her from the sweat thing in Cabo, and she hasn’t felt the same since. She says there are demons in her and she’s hallucinating. That wa all weird and difficult to watch. Wasn’t sure how authentic it all was. Or any of this is.
She’s having a Medium or “extractionist” come over ?? (as opposed to an Exorcist) They explain about the sweat lodge thing, an how they never finished the ritual. And that seems to be the problem. Makes perfect sense, right ? The Medium explains she may have brought something home with her ? Are we seeing the official end of Housewives? If this isn’t a “jumping the shark” moment in Housewife history, I’m not sure what is. This Medium chick is pretending to pull something out of her mouth. Maybe she could deposit a whole new personality while she’s there.
Yeah, you look even more like an empty headed desperate for attention nincompoop.
Heather comes to see Jen at her office, about some rash or something. Stupid. Jen begs for Heather’s validation that her “Brain Scan Party” was a success.
Heather tells her that Terry is obsessed with Rynnnnnnne’s dog. Why does that NOT surprise me, not even one little bit. I think Terry is attracted to Rynnnnnnne, by the way.
Emily calls Shannon. A group trip is being planned for Aspen. Emily says Cabo was so hot, and dramatic. So let’s head to Aspen where it’s cool —— and dramatic. She says in her yappy interview that same tired rhetoric they always used for the trips, “this is what everyone needs, the fresh air and views will bring them together…”
Translation : Oh bloody hell, this is going to be bad.
Well then I stand corrected, Emily does give a quick shout-out to acknowledge the fighting and arguing that is inevitable.
We go back to Heather’s fake appointment to Jen’s office for a scrape.
After a weird interaction with Jen joking about the “weight” she’s bringing on the plane, that seemed rehearsed. Mainly because I’ve never heard Jen say something funny, Heather brings up concern about “others” going on the trip. She makes a ridiculous statement (in a desperate effort, to keep this argument going, and further gaslight Shannon) about Shannon NEEDING to tell Gina she’s ‘happy for her’ on the trip. I like the question that Jen asks Heather, “why does Gina care so much what Shannon thinks? If I do something I’m proud of, I only need the validation from people that I love, so maybe Gina cares about Shannon more than she thinks”
Jen that sounds so profound, except for one small detail, Gina doesn’t REALLY care about any of this, and has made it all up for the Bravo coins.
Back to Emily and Shannon phone call thing : Emily asks Shannon if she “has talked to Gina” knowing full well the answer to that. Shannon tells her that she did, and they are meeting the following day. For more smoke to be blown up her ass. I assume. Emily says that Gina said, (omg) that she acknowledges she said mean things to her. Gina seems to be blaming the ‘demons inside her’ from the sweat thing, for her behavior, that was not at all arrogant.
Emily seems to be playing the mediator of sorts, between Gina and Shannon, when she’s the one that was engineer of the stupid nonsense. She tells Shannon that she should come to Regina George’s stupid wal-mart brand in a prettier jar, skin care ridiculous roll-out thing.
Shannon acknowledges in her yap also my opinion about Emily stirring the pot. It’s almost as if she is not really realizing she has a bullseye on her head this season. Not sure how this is not occurring to her.
Gina has concluded that she feels “bad” about the nastiness she spewed onto Shannon, for a ‘story line’ and is blaming it on needing the exorcism to release herself of the demons from the Cabo thing. Did I really just write that?
Am I really watching this? I know I said this is “mindless entertainment,” but I think they’re starting to push it on the “mindless” part, and actually the “entertainment” part.
Emily and Shane are entertaining and have a private chef of course. Now we’re hearing about Emily’s childhood. Again . She is telling everyone that they are doing some wedding renectment photos. She’s not doing a vow renewal, because of the ya know, Housewife stigma on the vow renewals.
It’s stupid anyway, like hello people, not to be a Debbie Downer, but marriage vows are soooo flipping antiquated. And putting on a white actual ‘wedding dress?’ so ridiculous. And forcing people to sit through that shit ? Why not just have an anniversary party??? So anyway, I digress, Emily is mixing it up by just doing “wedding photos” I can hardly wait. Whatever.
Noella’s father has passed away. It’s sad, because it’s always sad when someone dies. But if was he was a shitty dad that was never around, shitty husband, didn’t bother with his daughter, nor grand kids all his life, then ya know, have a bloody mary and move on. Sound harsh but I have no patience for worthless dudes, and women crying over them. Melissa Gorga’s dad too. I’m tired of hearing about him every flipping season of RHONJ. He croaked 25 yrs ago, and he sucked !! You’re married to a man that worships the ground that you walk in. Move the hell on.
Okay sorry I switched for a second to Jersey there. I went on the same tangent in that article too. And I don’t feel about it.
I refuse to even pretend to be excited about Gina’s stupid generic skin care crap that someone put in her lap just because she’s on TV. She did no work, no research (Not even sure she’s capable of reading)
She gives Shannon a dis or two while praising a random “friend” who is letting her use her house for the party.
There’s a vomit-inducing moment they show of this weird friend praising Gina, and being so “honored that it’s happening at her house.” and “this has been a long time in the making…”
Wonder what a ‘long time’ is to this woman? She acts like Gina has been in her lab for ten years mixing up, and experimenting with different ingredients for the ultimate face wash and moisturizers !!! please.
In her yap, (going to start using that word from now on, it’s shorter than ‘interview’ and it describes them a little better) Gina says “now THAT’S a best friend” in reference to the big house offering of this random person. That describes Gina in a nutshell. She’s not even trying to hide it.
I’m in shock it’s not at Heather’s. I wonder if Gina asked, and Heather said no??? Maybe she assumed Heather would offer, and she didn’t, so she had to go to the next less rich best friend. She talks to this new bestie with a big house during the hair and make-up sesh. Gina says in her irritating AF Valley Girl/ early 2000’s Nasal combo, (which is getting more irritating because she hasn’t really shut up in the past six episodes — I guess that’s the reward you get on Bravo for acting like a bully, and making up a “story line” about someone being jealous of you, so you can provoke them for fun.) “If she can table this and actually show up FOR MEEEEEEE…” then this very unattractive Housewife wannabe chimes in with “then she’s being the bigger person.”
Then they make fun of Shannon some more for being at the bar. I’m sorry, but who had the DUI?
She goes into more fake emotional jibberish as people are arriving to the rich friend’s house, as if she has done any real “work” here.
Tell me the effort that Gina put into this again, because the only thing I recall her saying is that she “decided” to start a skin care line, because she has bad skin. That sounds familiar. (Whitney Rose)
I don’t even just refuse to be excited – I just do not care at all. I’m not even sure that she is being sincere in wanting Shannon to be at this party, and sorry about the horrific she things she said, or if this is just the continuation of the gas lighting. This IS actual gas lighting. I have said in the past, that word is being over used, in place of provoking someone, since it’s a patterned behavior, (usually done in partner relationships or marriages) where you deliberately upset someone over and over, then turn their reactions against them, or go so far as to say you didn’t do or say something that you definitely did. What they’re doing really is more than provoking. Pretending to be nice and dangling their friendships over her head, then when they reel her in, being nasty again, upsetting her over nothing! Saying vile things, then turn it around like she’s to blame and crazy. That’s gas lighting !!!
Heather gives Gina some crap from Chanel. “ Omi GOD ! I can’t believe you’re handing me Chanel box right now??” As if she didn’t know Heather would give her some really expensive stupid gift.
Gina is working some serious OT on the ‘gimme free boujie shit project !’ My God woman. Have you no shame ? That’s rhetorical.
Shannon hasn’t arrived yet, so Thing 1 and Thing 2 (who are so secure and “happy” with themselves don’t forget) of course, sling insults to each other about Shannon. “She drinks too much, put a pin in it…” Blah. Same old same old. Can’t wait til she shows up and they give their big giant fake ass smiles and hugs. They play a scene of Gina canceling their coffee get together to “talk” before this event, but still wanting her to come to her stupid thing.
She tells Emily and Noella “it’s not like she enjoys hurting people’s feelings…” She should have followed that up that with, “but I really need the money, my loser BF doesn’t have a job, and I think this is how I saw Vickie and Tamra do it in their heyday, right ???
Does anyone know what her BF does ? I saw on Twitter that he doesn’t do anything, but not sure if accurate. But it sounds good! Never hear him talking about any type of ‘work.’ Actually he doesn’t say much at all. Captain Boring if you ask me.
Having to hear about this skin care crap of Gina’s is such a giant yawn fest. We all know someone dumped it in her lap because she’s on TV. She’s making this tearful speech as if she actually DID something, and has been working feverishly.
For chrissakes she gives a speech as if she just won a fucking Oscar. This whole thing is stupid. Why was she on WWHL again ? Wasn’t she just on??
So over these two Vickie and Tamra wannebes. I’m starting a hashtag. If you’re sick of their fakeness and desperation they are exuding this season, whenever you post on Twitter or FaceBook, or when you comment on something about them, let’s use this hashtag. #tamraandvickiewannabes .
It’s so painfully obvious that they’re trying to be the “New Vickie and Tamra” with their fake bullying antics, but it’s not working. None of it is coming across as authentic at all. Whereas with Vickie it and Tamra it (usually) did. Were they assholes sometimes ? Yes, but not to this degree of manipulation and scheming. I have been seeing a SHIT ton of comments on the chat groups and Twitter, and a lot of fans are NOT supportive of the way Gemily is coming across.
Next week’s previews looks really hideous. They pull out all of the gas lighting stops.
