Vanderpump Rules returns in Canada on November 3, so I'd imagine RHOBH will be paired with it - and debut at the same time.

OC I'm so glad next week is the finale. This has been a heavy season to watch at times. I really don't need to see Meghan's lame, stupid ass ever return to this series. Andy, for God's sake, fire her, don't ever look back, she's awful and she has no storyline of her own. She's a whiney mess and if I have to see her pretend to be a mother with a teenager that she, literally, could not have birthed herself, I'm going to stop watching this show. Tamra and her baptism. Whatever. It's all for show. I wish Eddie luck with that joint bank account. Heather was totally irrelevant this episode, as she has been for much of this season. She's lucky that mansion of hers isn't finished, the reveal for it has guaranteed her a spot next season. Shannon and the enema/colonic. Oh my. That was reality. I don't think her marriage to David has recovered at all. I think she's seething. Vicki and Brooks and Brianna. What a mess. I understand all points of view. And I don't think any of them are being fair to the others - Brooks is a douchebag, so is Ryan. Vicki is a drama queen, so is Brianna. If Brooks is lying about his cancer, he'll be crucified for it, but he's also been persecuted by half the cast in an extremely unhealthy way. Cheshire Dawn vs. Magali. I didn't think that lunch was such a win/lose for either of them. Dawn kept her cool and made some cogent points, Magali lost her cool and stormed off and blathered on. Like Camille Grammar said, whoever keeps their cool, wins...but Magali was wise and came back to the table and heard Dawn out and Dawn appeared to just let down the barricades a bit. The problem with Magali and Dawn isn't either of them, it's that bloody lapdog Leanne. Magali clearly has a really good home life with her husband and sons, and Dawn as the same with her husband and daughters. I think those two have a lot more in common than they'd like to let on. Speaking of which, Leanne just bores me to death. She's an idiot. She's just a stripper who made good with a footballer. Nothing more. I hope she's making sure that husband of hers is saving major money and paying off their mortgage. Football careers in the UK can end in a flash and then they'll be screwed if they don't plan for the future like Magali and Dawn obviously did. Ampika didn't have much to do this episode. But I like how she didn't hesitate to get soaked to save her dog and then flip when she momentarily lost her bracelet. And then she just went in with Dawn and laid out how everything needs to get sorted so the group has some cohesiveness. That's a good ol' Cheshire gal for you. Tanya is useless. This episode demonstrated she has nothing going on in her life worth filming. However, she's harmless and an airhead, so she isn't grating to watch. The same cannot be said for fabulous Lauren and Paul! I adore these two as a couple, I hope they stay together forever and ever. Like BH's Lisa and Ken, they do seem to 'get' each other and have a good banter going on and they appear to make each other genuinely happy, as if they like being around each other. It's really nice. And they're fun and rich and clearly believe in having a good time.

I'm finally caught up, for whatever reason this season is working for me in ways that last season did not. Caroline Stanbury is an odd one. On one hand, she's bitingly funny in a way only English people can be, on the other hand, she can be really mean and it's an ugly quality to have. On one hand she can deflate Juliet's pomposity with one withering line ("Wherever we go I usually know the owner, Juliet knows the busboy."), on the other hand she is extremely high on herself and deluded about how a lot what she has has been handed to her (she was born into wealth). I really dig her sister in law, she seems to be a total hot mess/riot. Caroline Fleming bothers me for some reason. She just seems dumb or bitchy or both. Something about her doesn't rub me the right way. Love Annabelle. She is very calm and seems very fair. Julie lost me with the crazy tears about Caroline's little yoga dig. That was crazy. I also don't care about her balls. Ploughing that money into the family home is admirable - and it's a damn shame that all those aristocratic families in England didn't plan well enough to afford to keep those homes going forward so their youngest generations have to get really creative and it's a struggle. Marissa and her husband are really striving to build a big life. And as Annabelle said, that's classic upper middle class for you. Juliet just annoys the piss outta me. She's such a loud, dumb, obnoxious wretch.

I just watched the episode and she was GREAT. Very fun role for her to play. I'd never seen the show before...it's a shame it's on CW because it's actually very good.

OC Tamra's loser son, Ryan, irritates the hell out of me. He is such a damn loser - gets a woman knocked up who already has a litter of kids, can't afford a damn thing, has to have his mother pay his rent, which also means freeloading off his stepdad. He's just a flat out idiot. He doesn't have a single useful skill in life and he's set himself up to be a huge failure, as he always has been. Pathetic! Heather lost me as well. I can't believe she insisted that Brooks furnish his records. And Jesus H. Christ...going on about the f--kin' house, again...she is such a prick. She has a fleet of contractors building her dream home at her beck and call. Sure, picking marble tiles can be a head scratcher, but dammit why does she act like it's a life or death decision? I'm sick of watching Meghan pretending to be Julia Roberts in Stepmom. She's a psycho. She is the worst housewife ever cast in the franchise history. An absolute dud who makes me want to never watch this show again. Shannon was a real idiot dealing with Vicki. All of these women are badgering her and she thinks it's wise to join the dog pile? Idiot. Shannon can look like she's been dragged along 20 miles of bad road sometimes, it's odd how her mouth drops. Just a mean observation. It's been a long week and it's only Tuesday. All of these women are disgusting. Even if Brooks is lying about the whole thing - why can't they just respect Vicki's space. Her mother is dead, her daughter is in Oklahoma, she has constant conflict with the Brooks relationship, she's paid out a hefty divorce (rightly) to Donn and Brooks has told her he has cancer. Let's say that Brooks is lying about cancer - how is that Vicki's fault and what good does it do to badger the poor woman? It's really disgusting and this storyline is so dark and has destroyed this season. The only good thing about this episode was Lisa Rinna's brief cameo. Lisa Rinna is so fabulous. She is so correct about selling on television. Joan Rivers mastered it and so has she. Lisa Rinna is very, very skilled at being herself.

CHESHIRE "I noticed that Tanya's shoes didn't get ruined, that's because they're plastic, not leather" - Lauren. ZING! SNAP! Well played, Lauren. Drunk Ampika - perfect. She didn't make any sense at all with that HUGE hat. She really screwed up by not locking Mark back down. He's a solid man who could tolerate her flamboyance. I love how Magali came gunning with all barrels blazing against that bitch Leanne and Dawn. Leanne is such a pathetic lapdog who can't take the heat that's been put on her when everyone around them said her behaviour has been terrible recording Magali and then passing it along like a viral video. I love Lauren. She is my favourite. She's very logical and fair. And that cryo lipo she had does actually work - she must have a good pain threshold because it hurts! Dawn ran away like a scared cat when Magali came for her. Good! Goes to show she can't take confrontation at all. It will be interesting to see what Ashley's intervention has on Dawn. Ashley clearly wears the pants in that marriage, and I think if he tells Dawn to make amends with Magali, she bloody well will.

I have been watching Season 2 of Real Housewives of Melbourne, which I never caught up on! I've watched everything right up to the last episode (not including the Reunion episodes). My thoughts: -This franchise is glitzy, tacky, gloriously OTT, contrived at times, bitchy, but so, so fun. And at the end of the day, a lot of these women are true blue Australian sheilas in the best sense. - I was all ready to love Pettifleur and dislike Gamble at the beginning of the show. What a switcheroo as the show progressed. Gamble is funny, self-deprecating and winningly upfront. Pettifleur is mean, a poseur and a big-ass fake. The only point I actually warmed to her was when she danced her birthday tango at her winter wonderland party. LMAO as she wrapped her leg around that poor dancer's shoulder. - I still like Jackie but I worry that she will get too caught up in being what she thinks a Real Housewife should be and will lose the rock in her life -- her adorable husband. - I know people hate Lydia here and think she is a bore... well, I love to hate her. She's like Kyle in a lot of ways -- pretentious, condescending, dumb as a box of rocks, thinks she is hysterically funny -- but the difference is that I can't stand Kyle most of the time. Lydia in a lot of ways is hideous, and talks horribly about Gina especially in her VTs. She obviously thinks she is the second coming of Samantha Jones sometimes. And yet... I can't stop watching her. Ugh, I have such ratchet taste in HWs lol. - Gina is... where to start? The eye of the hurricane. I love the fragile/strong woman she shows herself to be -- tough barrister but vulnerable when it comes to relationships. I liked her burgeoning friendship with Gamble. At the same time, she can just be so vicious in her put-downs. She is fundamentally insecure, as insecure as that vile Andrea in S1. I wish she wouldn't burn so many bridges on this show, or get caught talking out of turn about the few friends she has left. At the same time, the other women are so ready to pounce on her every word or action and twist it against her. - Janet is a big gossip but she owns it and I love her for that. I was LMAO at her reaction to Gina's shoe-line. Chyka (who I also love) had a good point about not being asked to use their names for shoes, but the Janet had the truest reaction. "I don't care about that! All I care about is that I got the ugly nana shoe!" Bring on Season 3! RH of Melbourne is amazing. If they can manage a great season 3 then it will be the best show among all the franchises, in my opinion. It is so compulsively watchable, fun, gold plated, glitzy and glamorous. It's the kind of tacky fun that only Australia could master in such a winning way. Totally agree about Janet. She's a big gossip, but she totally owns it and has some of the funniest reactions and I love her.

Love your analysis I should pick your brain about botox and fillers. I'm considering... Thanks for your take on the Dubrow skincare line. I would have thought sunscreen would be a standard in the anti-aging day products and it always stuns me when I see major brands like Chanel or YSL push anti-aging creams with no SPF attached. I know they're trying to fix the line at a (slightly) more affordable price point but sometimes it just seems better to get some natural product like coconut oil and smear it on your face for hydration purposes! I have been watching Season 2 of Real Housewives of Melbourne, which I never caught up on! I've watched everything right up to the last episode (not including the Reunion episodes). My thoughts: There is no way that Terry Dubrow, incredible plastic surgeon that he is, would ever claim his products can do what Botox, fillers or surgery can achieve for people. If he does claim that - well he's not being genuine.

OC Meghan is PSYCHO. She called Brooks' doctor and pretended to have cancer? Absolutely batshit crazy. She is absolutely obsessed and should be ashamed of herself. She is so damn desperate to be relevant. She's contacting an ex-girlfriend of his? Good for Jim to tell her never to do that again. "You're waving at no one!" - Jim Edmonds. BAHAHAHAHA. Way to go, Jim! What a desperate idiot. How the hell can she say a damn thing about Brooks' cancer and whatever his ongologists are saying. Jim knows his wife is a destructive bitch. Tamra and Ryan...Ryan is such a LOSER. Boo hoo he got a woman knocked up and now doesn't like handling the load of responsibility. Of course, Tamra made an ass of herself about the 'consider the source' line...always grasping for camera time she is. Lizzie and Christian are a great looking couple and she looked beautiful at the Aries Party. Shannon - was it just me or did her pool strike anyone else as surprisingly small? I love how Vicki answered "you are" to everything Meghan said Vicki called her - because she is all the things that Vicki's called her. And then I loved how she told Meghan to go and become an oncologist. I think Brooks handled Meghan as well as he possibly could. Re the Dubrow's skincare formulations: In my opinion, allegedly, etc: first of all, the line does not offer a sunscreen from what I can see online on Evine (the retailer), which is the most important thing everyone can use to protect their skin. So that already sets the line as substandard in my opinion given that the sun is the #1 cause of aging and skin damage. Then, the polish/scrub product has silica beads - which is rough on the skin and can cause micro tears and it isn't as good as using a chemical exfoliant like salicylic acid. Then, the moisturizer and serum have fragrance in them, which is an irritant for skin. The serum product they have has silicones and ceramides - and nothing more - which for $40 for an ounce is incredibly expensive and doesn't offer skin very much. They also have two nutritional products: a liquid and a vitamin pill, that loads up on the skin healthy vitamins and minerals. I'm always hesitant to do 250% of the Recommended Daily Intake of any nutrient - and that's what the nutrition products do - to each their own, most of those nutrients are water soluble anyway so the body only absorbs what it can and the rest is flushed out. Overall, in my opinion, there are far less expensive, better formulated products available.

Magali was traffic stoppingly glamorous in that white and cream outfit at the very beginning of the episode when she went shopping with Ampika. I thought her choices for Ampika were stunning - that white dress was beautiful. Magali was powerful as she had that gold facial applied as she decried Leanne as a bitch and a coward - she's right and she's a real force. I love Lauren and Paul. I like how fun their marriage seems, they are friends. Lauren has class. She is friendly and outgoing and so breezy. And then she very wisely said the video recording was inappropriate. A total invasion of privacy Dawn has a good sense of interior design. She's so gobby with Ashley. The do have undeniable chemistry. Leanne is such a cowardly bitch. Taking her sly video and then giggling and splashing it around. All she can do is follow Magali's sparkle and dim her light. I want to see Magali beat the sh*t out of her. Tanya...oh dear. She is so dumb. She really doesn't comprehend that believing rumours, over her own friend, spoke volumes. She also didn't articulate any reason why, in this instance, Leanne video recording Magali was okay. All credit to Ampika. She has tackled Tanya directly. And that bikini when she burst out of her house to get the party started - wowza. If you've got it, flaunt it.

And it just gets worse for Kim Richards: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3233951/Troubled-reality-star-Kim-Richards-visited-smoke-shops-LA-trying-hold-Xanax-deadline-looms-accept-plea-deal-drunken-altercation.html

I say Annabelle is the real deal because she's lived a big London life and has the connections to prove it. Her parents were interesting in their own right. Her father was in investment banking, her mother was a marquessa and interior decorator. But Annabelle's really interesting feature is she was married to a Rothschild - as in the billionaire banking family. When they got divorced, part of the settlement was that Annabelle had to drop the Rothschild last name. She was a model for Alexander McQueen for years, counts Kate Moss as a close friend and dated the son of the Duke of Marlborough. She's friends with Fergie (the Duchess of York, not Josh Duhamel's wife) and Naomi Campbell and mixed with all the right people at just the right time in the 1990s where a whole generation of fabulous Londoners found themselves. Really, the false note in this show is Juliet. She is a NOBODY. Marissa's husband owns Boujis (one of the most prominent London nightclubs in the early 2000s that's still a popular place) and Julie Montagu is a Viscountess. Juliet is nothing - she's in PR and has a terrible midwestern accent and allegedly says she's an aspiring actress at 38. In other words, her dumb ass is just what this show needs.

There's my girl Janet, 56 or however old she is, always ready with a quip or a cascade of curse words - she is fabulous. I only wish Pettifleur had leaned a little further back, nobody needs to see her ass again.

Thank the good lord. I miss those Melbourne ladies. I'm surprised they kept all 7: Lydia is useless and Pettitfleur alienated everyone in the show...but I'm open to the new housewife.

OC The Beador restaurant scenes were so cringe worthy. Those kids know way too much: "We want to make your relationship better and talk about your relationship"...good lord. Shannon and David should have insulated those poor kids from their marriage. At least she's aware that they've hurt their kids. Vicki is the OG: Original Grandma. Her grandchildren will have only the fondest memories of her in 20 years. She is doing the grandma role exactly right: spoil those kids with whatever they want, be fun and be hands on. She is great with Brianna's kids. And that was lovely of her to buy Brianna the car. I don't agree with Brianna's approach about Brooks when Vicki specifically accommodated Brianna. For an adult woman she sure has an axe to grind against Brooks. It's a good thing that relationship is over. It's undermined Vicki's whole life and her loneliness got the better of her. She'd really be better off single and date someone richer than her. Tamra and Eddie...sigh. Eddie is 100% right. Tamra has enabled Ryan to be a 30 year old loser and spoiled his stupid ass his whole life. He's totally right that Ryan is all talk and no follow through. She lies to Eddie about THEIR money. That's not going to end well. Meghan is psycho. She's obsessed with cancer. She's 30. She needs to give it a rest. There is NOTHING likeable about this dumb bitch. Terry and Heather's skincare line...yeah...okay...whatever. For the sake of their kids I hope it's a success. A million bucks of their own cash is a lot to invest and quite a gamble.

I watched it. The show still doesn't impress me: it's the damn Americans like Juliet pretending they know what the hell they're talking about in London. Caroline Stanbury is still incredibly impressed with herself - oh well that's fine. She's sort of hilarious. Annabelle is the real deal, and I like Julie Montagu. I could not believe Juliet being such a selfish, stupid, bitch. I don't know why Marissa bothers. I'll be watching next week.

I am so glad this episode of RH of Cheshire leaked...it was delicious and just what I needed to make the end of my week off satisfying. Magali is READY and she's in for a fight. I don't believe any of the women are racist because of the colour of her skin. I do think Leanne doesn't like Magali because she's Dutch and doesn't behave in the typical subtle, English, way, she's very direct and European, too direct for Leanne's liking and it's Magali who exposed Leanne's past as a lap dancer and called her out on her past, which Leanne had hoped to bury. Magali was clearly very angry based on the video Leanne took of her exploding at Dawn on the train and I'm sure Dawn taunted her or annoyed the hell out of her. I have no doubt Magali was justified. My only criticism of Magali is how she butchers the pronunciation of the word "Cheshire"...good lord it irritates me. Dawn is still deluded that people want to be her and she really needs to let go of this nonsensical baby storyline - nobody believes that Dawn is going to be having a baby, again, at 46. Nobody. Not Dawn. Not Ashley. Not Leanne. Not anyone else. Dawn is impressed by her own mediocrity. When I see that Dawn's been inducted into the Order of the British Empire then I might be impressed. Otherwise? Nah. I don't hate Dawn though. I actually enjoy watching her because she's brash and gobby and self made and doesn't make crap up or dance around conflict. We know who she likes and who she doesn't. She's actually quite similar to Magali and that's why I think they clash. Love Lauren and I always have. I was so glad she decided to wear a see through dress and then be nice to everyone while having a laugh at Dawn's silly ass. She just is who she is and lets it all hang out. And I like Paul, blowhard that he may be. What you see is what you get with Paul. I bet he's ferociously loyal to Lauren and vice versa. Lauren has the confidence that growing up in wealth gives and it's difficult to duplicate. Lauren knows exactly who she is and breezes through conflicts and is disarming to people like Leanne who can't handle themselves. Tanya's done a good job at claiming some relevancy with the feud with Ampika about the alleged rumours. That said, Tanya makes herself look awfully stupid by not dealing with Ampika directly when that's what she asked her to do. Tanya making friends with Dawn isn't a surprise because Tanya needs to rely on people to make most basic decisions and she seeks approval. No surprise she went for Dawn who she perceives as the biggest fish in the small Cheshire pond. Ampika is sad to me. She should have grabbed Mark with both hands and reclaimed her happiness with a solid, dependable man. She blew that chance. At least for now. I hope she goes in guns blazing against whoever has said she's making up rumours about Tanya - if they are indeed false. Leanne is a weakling and as much of a hoover as she was last season. She is Dawn's bitch and that she even attempts to act otherwise makes me laugh.

Love Lauren and Magali's taglines.

I hope Joy makes a fortune for returning.

OC Meghan is VILE. She is so inappropriate and bitchy and scumbaggy. Her marriage is doomed. 100% doomed. Shades of Paul and Adrienne of BH in a bad way. She hates Vicki and there's no convincing me that she gives a flying damn about Brooks or Vicki. Meghan isn't a nice person. She's a bitch. And she's a weak bitch. She had to call over Jim Edmonds...which was a mistake since he didn't flinch about Meghan talking trash and had the class to say it isn't any of his business and that he understood why Vicki is upset and then spoke to Vicki and actually listened to her. And then he told Meghan to ZIP IT! Epic! "One time, listen to what I'm saying" - Jim Edmonds. Meghan is demented thinking that Vicki is creating drama with her. Love Lizzie and it's so clear that once the old broads weren't around for Meghan to be bold in front of and it was just Meghan and Lizzie and Lizzie was calling out her bullsh*t, Meghan checked out. Lizzie is the only one with sense when she said everyone needs to 'drop it.' She's absolutely right. I love how Lizzie wears white at all times - even her wig was white! Context is everything for Vicki. The discussion about Brooks is life and death. It's as real as it gets so I don't hold any part of her reactions against her. Meghan has overstepped boundaries in a major way. "I've been baptized and it's great"...what a great line! And then for her to give Jim Edmonds warnings about Meghan and her "Call me in 5 years when you're divorced" was prophetic and it's clear he knows when a fellow adult speaks to him. Shannon and David...good lord. She needs to get a divorce. She wants to redo the past and that cannot happen. She wants something she can never have. Tamra: "I love Meghan's outfit. She looks like a slutty version of Heather." <-- sometimes Tamra is damn funny.

OC Meghan is a huge piece of crap. She's the nastiest, dumbest, vilest housewife we've seen who has not had a single redeeming moment on this show. Honestly, Danielle Staub at least had her daughters and Jody Claman appeared to love her son, but this bitch is soulless. She way she fake cried illogically about Leanne and Jim Edmonds (yawn) and then moaned about Vicki being mean. Bitch please. The thing that I love about Vicki, the OG of the OC, is that she comes out guns blazing every. single. time. She is never sitting back with any of these women. Nobody is going to intimidate her and she simply isn't going to deal with someone like Meghan. She is too seasoned to let Meghan's crap bother her in any meaningful way - she just explodes and moves on. It looks like Vicki's going to nuke Jim and Meghan next week with very ballsy, honest commentary about their marriage. Can't wait. Heather's house is vulgar. There's a reason she needs to have 14 toilets in that place: she's so full of sh*t. Tamra and Eddie. Hmm. I just don't see how this relationship makes it to the 10 year mark. The way she is with Ryan, while understandable since she's his mother, undermines her relationship with Eddie, who is clearly a good guy. Shannon and David's marriage is over. Is it just me who sees that? I don't know why Shannon has him on television other than to publicly shame and humiliate him. But David seems up for it and he almost had a look of glee on his face when they went to that dive bar for her birthday and she so clearly hated it. It's like he's into making Shannon crazy about the affair. She clearly resents him. She's clearly nowhere near over it. She clearly hasn't forgiven him. Their children should not be on television for this - they all seem unhinged. NYC Overall this was a very, very, enjoyable season. Drama - but not sick and dark or nasty. Team LuAnn all the way. I'm glad LuAnn didn't give in with her rage at Carole and Heather - particularly when Heather admitted to coming into LuAnn's room with a camera on her phone - and the cameraman on top. Carole is a snake. I don't think people quite understand that Carole dating Adam is sleazy because he was with LuAnn's niece, who Carole knew and talked to about the her relationship with Adam, and she's young and Carole's far more mature and swooped in and took advantage of the situation falling apart between Adam and LuAnn's niece. And if the guy LuAnn took home from the bar told her he was separated from his wife how is she in the wrong? If he lied that's on him, not on her. I'm glad Bethenny rightly articulated how Heather was Scarlett O'Hara with her theatrics. Kristen was so thirsty and basic with her "You broke Girl Code!" to Ramona. Give me a break. She is so desperate to have a moment at that reunion. She fell as flat as a pancake. Sonja...oh that Madonna comment was painful to hear. Madonna was going to appear at the Sonja Morgan New York international heritage fashion lifestyle brand launch? Really? And she showed up (while simultaneously in LONDON) and was turned away by security while her manager sat behind Sonja's daughter? I like Sonja, she's scrappy and she's a fighter - but that comment was batshit crazy. Ramona and LuAnn's renewed friendship was nice to see and I'd like to see more of it next season. Dorinda was GREAT. She is such a cool addition to the franchise. Great pick. Overall, I couldn't care less if Heather leaves after this season. But for the Ashley Madison affair I'm sure Kristen would have been first to be axed, what a useless cast member. Ramona, Bethenny and LuAnn were all great to watch, Dorinda and Sonja were relevant and Carole will keep her job because Andy is her friend.

Honestly, I tried with the first season but this show sucks. I found it shocking how poorly it showcased London, one of the world's greatest cities and a personal favourite of mine. The women are not likeable and their faux pretension is wearing. They're not the real ladies of London - Caroline Stanbury might think she matters, but she doesn't.

Well, NYC's Kristen just had an unpleasant surprise. Her husband, awful Josh, was outed as a user of the Ashley Madison affair site. At first, he denied it, then he released a statement admitting it but brushing it off. Liar, liar pants on fire. If she's smart, this is her next season storyline and she'll liberate herself with a divorce. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3209246/Real-Housewife-New-York-s-husband-Ashley-Madison-user-leak-reveals-defends-says-not-d-bag.html http://ca.eonline.com/news/689348/real-housewives-of-new-york-star-kristen-taekman-s-husband-s-ashley-madison-account-could-be-the-end-of-their-marriage

Yes! I'm so glad it's back in September. NYC is over this week, OC, while entertaining, is dragging on a bit now, and The Royals doesn't start back on E! till November, so leave it to the Cheshire wives to fill that glamour gap. It looks like it'll be a great season.

OC Oh, my hatred of Meghan has reached new highs. That was disgusting of her to tell Shannon that the psychic said Brooks is faking cancer. Are these women really that dumb? You just have to look at him - the man has lost an incredible amount of weight and looks gaunt and is going to chemo. Vicki flipped out at Shannon unnecessarily, heck, Brooks was calm and told her to not shoot the messenger, yet she did anyway.
