After Olivia storms out of the coffee shop, with Taylor following her, for some reason. I think Taylor really thought she was going to walk out with her, and all was well.
Olivia talks to Leva from her car, and gives her the skinny. Anyone that watched some of the scenes last season with Austen and Taylor, when she was still with Shep even, and is so in shock by this, I don’t really get.
It was clear Austen had feelings for her. Didn’t they go to a store together or something, and Austen was upset at the way he had been treating her? And crying? Telling her she deserves better, etc etc.
Taylor calls Austen and lets him know what she’s shard with Olivia. She really thought Olivia was going to be okay with that? Has she met Olivia? She’s still pining over him, so of course it would piss her off, and remember my rule I came up with in regards to friends dating ex’s. If it was the other partner that ended it, which in this case it was, then it’s all off.
Taylor claims that Olivia and Austen were not even speaking at this time, when they supposedly had this convo about dating.
This doesn’t align with Olivia’s timeline.
Does she know her hat’s on backwards. It’s bugging me.
There was some social media chatter about this scene with Madison making a BLT, and using the tomatoes acting as the bread. She refers to it as ‘vegan’ as she’s muttering to herself. Someone posted the video on a FB chat group, and wow, she certainly has her supporters who were making excuses for her, and saying it was ‘vegan bacon.’
No, she said it was ‘healthy bacon.’ And there is no such thing as healthy bacon. I assume it was a lower sodium, maybe that’s what she meant? It certainly looked like actual bacon. You can see the white fat, and it’s swimming in a pool of grease??
It’s pretty on brand for Madison to mistake keto for vegan. I don’t get people going so hard for these Bravolebs.
It kind of makes me think that they are under cover accounts. Who could possibly care that much about someone making fun of Madison for being stupid. She gets words wrong constantly!
Shep’s house is weird. Why are there no windows on the first floor, and what are those weird slanty things in the second floor windows? I like the color though.
Newbies Rod and JT meet up, and Rod tells him how he told Austen he was seeing Olivia, who is having a meltdown over Taylor possibly being into Austen. Are you keeping up with this? Can you imagine someone reading this that doesn’t watch the show? It’s starting to sound like a big old orgy.
They discuss Taylor and Austen, and all of that that’s been already discussed to death. JT clearly has been watching Bravo and understands the assignment. He comes off really rehearsed and not genuine.
Taylor prepares for her event at Leva’s to promote this Day Chaser shit. Austen opts out because, you know, he’s afraid of Shep. Puss.
Madison calls Venita, and back to my point about the bacon and vegan thing. Ventita tells her that Olivia and Taylor are ‘on the outs.’ Madison has no idea what that means until she elaborates.
Anywho, now Madison is up to speed on the Taylor and Austen drama. As a newly married woman, why is she worried about all of this shit? Austen is her ex, this shouldn’t concern her. Does she want to stay married to this dude or not?
Also, I’d like to add, it’s pretty pathetic that she’s the one that picked up on all of this and no one else had a clue. And she thinks omitting bread from a dish with meat, is vegan, and doesn’t comprehend the phrase ‘on the outs.’
So it’s looking like Shep and Olivia are kind of friendly and cozy right? So that’s worth a little of an eyebrow raise? Isn’t it kind of ironic? I do think at this point, they’re just friends, but so were Taylor and Austen. They speak on the phone, and decide to share an Uber since Shep is ‘right down the street.’
Craig was confused about the theme, he thinks he’s going to a brothel. I admire the creativity, but he looks kind of stupid. The party IS a ski theme, not sure if I pointed that out.
Leva says Austen not attending is ‘petty’ but in reality, he’s fucking afraid of facing Shep in light of the recent revelations. So it’s not pettiness, Leva, it’s fear.
He has a hot date with Whitney anyway. These southern guys, I don’t know. They’re kind of weird.
He explains to Whitney why he’s not attending Taylor’s soiree promoting this seltzer shit, and recounts the whole thing, that I won’t keep repeating.
“So what if Taylor and I made out.” So he’s had one shot of the goose, and he’s divulging shit he’s previously denied.
Whitney tells him they have ‘loyalty’ to Shep, Austen quickly points out – “do you think Shep would think twice if Olivia made a move on him?”
Olivia fills in Shep inside their shared Uber. He immediately is irritated. and starts doing the Shep. Leg shaking, and chewing his fingers.
I can’t even fucking stand the sound of JT’s voice to be honest with you. “Brofessional Courtesy.” Shut up dwarf!! Venita and Leva seriously need that clarified. He’s obsessed with the Austen and Taylor thing. Where’s HIS girlfriend? Yeah that’s what I thought.
Shep wonders if it looks weird arriving with Olivia? Yes. It does. In light of their fucking having a seizure over their ex’s fraternizing.
That luge ice thing is disgusting. Everyone has their mouths all over it. It looks a little – you know reminds me of something that I’ve heard about.
Shep and Taylor have a weird ex- tense convo where they keep repeating thank you’s and you’re welcome’s.
Olivia gets flirty with Rod even though she’s so devastated by Austen and Taylor hanging out.
She approaches Taylor and lets her know that she’s only here to support, and “that’s all this is.” Taylor tries to suck up, and Oliva is not receptive.
Madison is offended over Austen being referred to as her ‘ex-boyfriend’ even though she talks about him incessantly.
Meanwhile, Whitney and Austen enjoy their candlelight dinner complete with champagne. Whitney tells Austen that the alcohol is making him more lovable. Like come ON. These dudes for sure go both ways. Not that there’s anything wrong with it, I’m just SAYING.
They call Craig, and he’s on his way over to crash these lovebirds’ dinner. Whitney demands Madison be in attendance, but not Venita. She’s not invited. That was fucking rude.
Shep is still at the event and Shepping out like crazy, now doing the hair tick fidgeting.
He calls it ‘sociopath’ of Taylor and Austen’s possible hook-up. Okay, that’s extreme. I know an actual fucking sociopath. And these two ain’t it.
JT is an official Housewife pot stirrer. What does Madison’s husband think of her going to a gathering with four other dudes, including an ex boyfriend, who we can’t say is her ex boyfriend,
Not sure why Shep so sweetly asks Taylor if it’s ‘okay’ if he leaves.
He even apologizes for not drinking a Day Chaser. He also lies that someone handed him a beer, but it was a good intended little fib.
Did you ever notice your ex is so nice and respectful to you when you’re broken up?? Before I tried yet again with my crazy bi-polar ex bf of 11 years, he was being so sweet kind and accommodating.
Then wahwahwah, I give him another chance and it’s the same old rude condescending, fucking horse shit and hissies. Along with constant reminders that he has a ‘back-up’ if I fall out of line.
That was nice.
She’s uglier than sin, married, lies, cheats, but she’s available! Believe you me, she’s available, if ya get my drift.
Anyway. Shep informs her that he ‘knows’ and he’s on his way to confront Austen. Why Taylor doesn’t point out here that he dumped her, then left the country for several months, fucking whomever said hello, I don’t know.
Now that she’s talking to someone else, (granted it’s Shep’s friend, so that adds a layer) he suddenly is interested in her and disapproving?
Also he refers to it being ‘so quickly?’ He started hooking up immediately after he broke up with her. THAT also sounds familiar.
It gets heated, with Shep being his entitled spoiled rich boy self.
Leva interrupts and scolds Taylor for having this discussion during the event.
Shep and Craig leave, with attention whore Madison tagging along.
Madison: “I’ll get in the back, since I have a catsuit on” as they climb into the SUV.
Wtf? Clearly she’s trying to get these dudes’ attention who are deeply involved in the Shep/Taylor drama. They ignore her ‘pay attention to me’ comment. I guess she’s keeping these shades on all night.
What is the point of her being here? So Shitney can flirt with her? He seems enamored with Austen, to be honest.
Craig eggs on Shep to bitch at Austen.
Madison refers to her wardrobe again, in hopes of getting the guys’ attention, and gets ignored again.
Read the room, girl. She can’t see how these dudes are all into each other? She could be completely naked, and I don’t even know if they’d notice. True story. Not even sure if any of them are into women.
Shep and Austen have a pow wow, and Shep is flexing away letting him know he owns Taylor, even tough, even though he dumped her ass last year and hasn’t looked back, Austen still has no right even entertaining the thought of dating her.
Austen is pretty drunk, and probably should’ve been sober for this. Shep allows him to speak, and he kind of stutters and talks in circles and doesn’t really provide any answers.
“Did ya all hook up?”
“Define hooked up.”
Shep is unahppy with that response.
