Bravo's The Real Housewives of....

As someone whose mother suffered through (and survived -- touch wood) Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (via chemo), I have a hard time believing that Brooks lost all that weight just for a storyline on OC. I don't know how to explain it other than chemo aims to nuke everything in your insides. It can be a difficult, overwhelming treatment. I could be mistaken, but Brooks has that wary, exhausted look in his eye that I've seen before. 

 

RHOC was incredibly badly scripted yesterday. From Tamra talking about the psychic she trusts her life with (but never actually met in person) to him -- surprise -- showing up at the restaurant, to Brooks being invited over to Cut Fitness because Tamra got him a cake (please! As if she would ever!), to Brooks tripping over the "cancer I had/have" moment. I am hoping this is a situation where Brooks is not lying but the SL that everybody is in on is that there are rumors he may be. I *HOPE* it is NOT "Brooks, let's pretend you have cancer and keep the viewers guessing." Because that would be awful.

 

I can't with Meghan. Period. The way she whined to Jim about how difficult it was with Haley to correct 18 years of parenting mistakes. Way to throw a mother dying of a terminal illness under the bus for the sole purpose of polishing your halo. #Hashtag is very pretty but her personality is so ugly to me. Everybody is disposable to her purposes of making herself look better. I see from Reality Tea that on social media she is trying to befriend Z-list coke-sniffers like Denise Richards. Good luck to you, babe. Honestly, Meghan isn't always the devil incarnate but the way she's using people to make herself look saintly is so... obvious. And she is condescending. It makes me take against her.

 

Jim Edmonds is giving me Jim Bellino vibes and that's not a good thing. At least he isn't giving me Slade vibes. Slade was the kind of guy who dated Playboy bunny wannabes because he thought he could control them. His ugly Miss Piggy diatribes against Vicki illustrated the kind of latent anger and insecurity he holds against women who actually stand up for themselves. I don't know why I am mini-ranting against Slade today, I just felt like it lol.

That was a good line but let's be honest. Carole can't talk as her ass was pretty desperate this season too. Without Luann on her ass, Carole would've had nothing going for her. Luann has ensured her ass some relevancy for another season just like Aviva did for her last season. 

 

I was all for Luann last night. That heffa stays going for the jugular. She doesn't give a f-ck. So funny because I couldn't stand Luann in past seasons. This season she won me over.

Now you know I didn't do the banner b/c if I had, Dawn AND Leanne would've been on both ends and Magali and Ampika, my two faves, would've been in the middle spots. :P

 

But I am excited for their return. NYC is about to be off after this Thursday (SN: Part 2 reunion comes on Tuesday and Part 3 comes on this Thursday RHONY fans) and I won't have a housewives show to entertain me all of September b/c OC ain't cutting it. I need something to distract me until November gets here with the return of Beverly Hills & Atlanta. 

 

But Magali and Lauren have both hinted on Twitter that this season is filled with drama. I cannot wait. Compared to the American housewives, RHOCheshire's drama is more lighthearted and funny--like early US housewives.

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.

I was just about to say that (re: him buying her another season). While Kristen should be livid, she should be glad at this point because now she'll have a story for next season of RHONY, and Bravo is going to exploit every second of it. If Josh was smart, he better move Heaven and Earth to do what he can to keep Kristen's mouth shut and get her off Bravo.

Damn, I wanted her dropped too but a messy divorce is recipe for reality tv gold. Not surprised. He didnt seem into her at all the first season and I knew this show would eventually lead to their divorce. Something tells me though that she'll make excuses for him and stay

Meghan came off horrible last night in the argument in my opinion. I thought Vicki was being a little irrational at first because Meghan hadn't had a chance to explain but she looks bad either way. It's really none of her concern what Brooks chooses to do. People stop doing chemo all the time, it has nothing to do with the fact that they still have options. Some people literally get sick and tired of what the chemo does to them and decide to rely on alternative options or their faith. There is no way to disprove he has cancer so it was a losing battle to begin with. She looks foolish and the other girls are foolish for perpetuating the gossip.

She will. Kristen seems like the type that believes it's 'cheaper to keep 'em.' To maintain the lifestyle she has, she'll suck it up and stick with him, but I see her constantly whining and making him suffer for his indiscretions.

 

Meghan is a twat. Regardless how people feel about Brooks, it is no one's business about his illness. If he wants off chemo, it's his choice. Chemotherapy is draining and not everyone has the will to endure it. But I don't just blame her. I blame Shannon, Pleather, and Trailer Sue too. All of them pushed the issue too instead of just nixing it and being done with it. But I hope that she is a one-season thing. For a 10th season, I've always said that they should've brought back Gretchen, Jeana, and Alexis and full-time housewives with the five from last season (Shannon/Trailer/Heather/Vicki/Lizzie). 

 

 

RHONY reunion pt.2: 

 

The second part was boring. I am glad that Dorinda called Heather to the carpet but she could've done better. And it annoyed me how everyone felt that Dorinda wasn't justified in her anger towards Heather. Heather is a twat and she deserved the heat that Dorinda was tossing her way. 

 

I did enjoy the banter between Bethenny and Ramona. Though they have their spats, you can tell that they really love and enjoy being together. It's like a sisterly relationship where they may dislike each other's acts at times but the love is still there at the end of the day. 

 

I'm ready for them to get to part 3 where they'll address the Turks and Caicos trip. I think that's where we'll get the most drama.

    • I remember seeing him briefly when Rick went to confront her about her blackmailing him. (I briefly forgot that Rick's sleeping with Claire at this time was a retcon - or her lying that she slept with him, whatever that story was). I wonder if he interacted with Kurt given that Mark Lewis later took his ATWT role. I tried to watch some of the full episode and it was all so alien and uninvolving. Roxy having a meltdown on that construction site for Mindy and Kurt's house that never gets built. Ed with Ross and Vanessa dealing with custody issues. Even Ross and Vanessa seemed flat, with Vanessa seeming oddly meek.
    • She did. It was during a party at Amanda's. She didn't literally throw herself at him, but she was subtly coming on to him and he quickly shut her down. Yes, I remember she not only made a pass at Justin, she convinced Jackie that he was harassing her sexually. She also tried to convince Sara that he was pestering her. Everyone banged Josh back then, LOL. Whoa. I must have missed a good chunk of this first time around because I don't remember Reva going to India.  What I recall is Harley being a nanny to the kids and then Reva driving off the bridge. Then they kind of toyed with the idea of Josh and Harley getting together but I don't think that ever happened. Yes, that all happens but I don't recall the tumor. Maybe that's coming up soon with the videos being uploaded to Spauldingfield. The last one I watched, she was planning to vamp Kyle while taking care of the pregnant Maeve.
    • I am a little disappointed that the show will be writing Jenn as in the wrong for her not liking Cat, when she's actually in the right.  Maybe if Cat was played by a competent actress and had a purpose, I would be more behind this propping of the character. And I can't wait for the funeral for John Black to be over and then we can proceed and move on.  
    • I'm not sure if the boy Carrie 2 seduced (I think his name was Ron) was still in high school or in college, but I remember he was very shy. I don't recall her making a pass at Alan, but she did make one at Justin, and she ended up banging Josh. I think there was an out of town business man too. Reva thought Josh and Vanessa were having an affair. Vanessa had just been fired by Roger, and when Reva took off to India, Van started helping Josh with the children. He then hired Van to work at Lewis. She would hear him on a business call with Van and think they were arranging a tryst. Or they sat too close together on the couch, so of course they were hiding an affair from her. It was very weird and blew up really quick.  It culminated at the party Reva was throwing at the club to introduce Dylan to Justin. Reva imagined everyone whispering about her and then she dumped a tray of drinks on Vanessa. When Vanessa hauled her into the ladies room to ask WTF, Reva accuses them of having an affair, asks if Van's pregnant, and then knocks her to the floor. I do think Claire had a tumor. I know around Valentine's day, Claire is making passes at a young businessman (or maybe even someone college age), and Ross (Van kinda pushed her at him because she's not keen on Calla). There's also a young intern played by Burke Moses that I think she sleeps with.
    • Congratulations to Carlos Alcaraz on his second win at the French Open!

        If the standard of play in the women's final yesterday wasn't of the highest caliber, that is not something you could say about today's final. It was absolutely fantastic tennis. 
    • When Barbara's letter was read (partly in Barbara's voice), there was commenting upthread that Barbara's voice is similar to the voice of Naomi's unhoused client June.  It did sound like her.  June is played by Jasmine Burke.  Per closing credits, Barbara was voiced by Sherita Bolden.  Still possible that they are connected. From our discussion on the May thread:  Looks and/or voices similar between June, Haley, and Tracy.   Tracy looks like Debbi Morgan. LOL so June might be connected to Haley, Tracy, or Barbara; and/or Samantha&Tyrell. I love that we don't know!
    • In the 1987 episodes, Mary has wonderful conversations with MJ and Cheryl. This is a realistic family with believable dynamics. Mary's ambivalence towards Vince is played nicely. Denise Alexander is so good here. I don't know what happened that the writers or producers just decided to chuck it all away. I don't FF these scenes. The show had a strong family that could have had years of storyline and they did nothing with them. I really don't get it. 
    • I can't speak for Sonni, but I thought Annie came off as neurotic from very early on. That's just how Cynthia Watros plays her parts, and the writing went along. I don't think Claire was mentally ill - they claimed she had a brain tumor, didn't they? I am never sure just why they made the effort given that she was leaving anyway. 
    • @DeeVee Claire is a perfect example. So many women came to Springfield as competent, smart, and talented professionals. Then they’d attract a so-called “good guy,” get dumped, and spiral into complete chaos. What always strikes me is how clearly it plays like a male fantasy—yet it was written and sold to a female audience.  I'm not a content expert, but I don't think cis gendered women fantasize about losing control of their mental faculties in response to an orgasm. Similar to Holly's story, it seems repulsive, because I don't believe women fantasize about becoming more vulnerable and appealing to men after they've been assaulted.
