Last week on the RHOC Season 7 Finale Part 1, Vicki offended PETA with her new coat, and Drunk Sarah offended Heather with her hypoglycemia.
Tonight we’re back dealing with the broken fondant bow, but Vicki has moved on to pulling Terry aside to admire her coat and she also asks him if he noticed Brooks’s new teeth. And she wonders why people think their relationship is weird! In other exciting news, Tamra announces that she’s eating tonight and shoves an hors’ d’oeuvre in her mouth. This brazen throwing off of her regular rules encourages Gretchen to pull Tamra inside to give her a present. Remember how on the first episode this season Tamra gave Gretchen a pink bracelet with a key on it so that they could lock away their past and unlock their future? Well, Gretchen reciprocates with a black bracelet that has a lock on it – you know, that Tamra’s key will unlock?
“I got you this because I know you always wish you were wearing what I’m wearing.”
It also has a little purse charm and a heart that says “unbreakable” on it. Gretchen claims that this is because Tamra’s such a strong woman, but the truth is that “unbreakable” is the name of the single Gretchen just released. Very slick, Gretchen. Very slick. I bet that was Slade’s idea. Tamra’s clueless to the fact that this is Gretchen’s blatant self-promotion and she does her tearless cry. (I never noticed Tamra’s lack of tears until you guys pointed it out to me. Hilarious! Especially because she seems so concerned about smearing her inch-thick makeup.) Gretchen says “unbreakable” 20 more times and Tamra tells us how much she cherishes Gretchen and her friendship.
“You wanna know what’s unbreakable, Gretch? This face. Pure prosthetic.”
Elsewhere Sarah is ignoring the velvet ropes again and she approaches Heather in the kitchen to whine to her some more about overreacting about the bow. You know, as much as Heather has bugged me about lots of things, she’s good at getting to the point and stating it clearly. She tells Sarah this isn’t about the bow and her BS apology, it’s about her rude and disrespectful (and uninvited) behavior, and her refusal to just let it go. And now it’s time for her to leave.
“Your walk-on role just got cut. Those are ACTRESS terms I’m using.”
She rallies the troops again and tells them that someone needs to get Sarah out of her house. I think it’s funny that Heather knows Sarah won’t go on her own.
“That’s dis…crim…ation against people with sssugar problems. You’re dis…abling the dis…abled. Me!”
Sarah is still just repeating “because of the cake?” and Alexis walks in and repeatedly demands “What’s going on? What happened?” Then when anyone tries to explain she just sticks her hand in their face and yells it again. Give it a rest, Alexis. Since when did you become the Great Peacemaker? Gretchen pleads with Sarah to leave and she and Slade walk her out the front door while Sarah complains about all these fake pretentious people. She starts to cry, “Is this the world we live in? Over a piece of cake?” Wow. Sarah, maybe next time try to grandstand about the sad state of human affairs when you’re not too drunk to walk.
Vicki is warm with wine and high fives Briana’s husband Ryan about coming into the family. Then she kisses his cheek and says she loves him. This can’t bode well. Sure enough, Vicki takes Ryan aside and tells him she’s super sorry about bad-mouthing him to his new bride, but it was her only defense when Briana said she didn’t like Brooks.
“I only called you a lying two-faced little bastard because Briana asked why Brooks doesn’t have his own car.”
And now that Vicki is welcoming Ryan into the family, he needs to see to it that Briana welcomes Brooks into the family. Ryan is like, “Um, I don’t think so.” He tells Vicki that her fight with Briana is about Brooks and not him. But Briana should be able to ask questions about Brooks since he just swooped in on her mother. Vicki’s response? Well, you just swooped in on my daughter! Ryan says yes, and he’s happy to answer any questions about himself. Vicki has none. Ryan says Briana just wants to be sure Brooks is in this for the right reasons. Vicki says she just wants to be sure Ryan is in this for the right reasons. Ryan shows her his wedding ring and says he’s here for good. Vicki’s got nothing since neither she nor Brooks has a ring, so she resorts to begging Ryan for help with Briana. He finally says he’ll try to help with getting Briana to talk to Vicki. Vicki hugs him and says she sincerely loves him for loving her daughter… even though she hardly knows him and it’s FLIPPIN WEIRD! She never stops talking when she should, does she? She always has to get in that one final dig. Insurance!

Great recap!
I wish we could’ve seen the actual “evil eye” because at first Tamra was the one out of line it seemed like but then Vicki went so far over the top anyone would look right against her.
Super kudos to Ryan, Briana is amazing and it looks like he is too. At least his m-i-l was on tv so he kind of knew what he was getting into, but he will need lots of patience to deal with a lifetime of that. I’m hoping he always stays so calm and firm, Briana deserves it.
Jim! What a festering anus! I am thinking he and Alexis had a fight before the party which is why his showing up was such a surprise. That or she was furiously texting him to come save her after the Sarah debacle. Its hard to tell because Alexis’s terrible acting is the same as her terrible personality, which makes her a good actress? Showed up, was rude to her, ran away from conflict, tried to leave without her. Unparalleled douche. Also odd to think he has this beef with Terry over his wife being insulted…. yet doesn’t seem to think she needs enough support to be by her side at the home of the people who insulted her….
Kara– Go away—your Mom left the show and now you leave too–k??
Ryan– you are MVP friend–love you muchi-ness–I am glad Brianna found a real man and not a poser/wannabe that loves Vicky’s money.
And to wax a little religious– just what ilk of Christian are Alexis and Jimmy the Chin??? I was raised Catholic (16 years of paraochial school-totally another story to be enjoyed with lots of alcohol) and a little hazy as regards many forms of Christianity. I am pretty sure however that many forms frown on alcohol, revealing clothes, profligate and conspicuous spending (b/c you are supposed to tithe ALOT to your Church), and plastic surgery. And aren’t good acts supposed to factor in??? Like donating money, clothing, food and your time to a charitable endeavor???? Not the “Cook Jim a Meal” Initiative of course.
ok=== back to reading
@ 1 Ms Mia (love the name –btw– have been meaning to tell you) bbwaahhaaahhaa “festering anus”
Oh and back to Jimmy the Chin– what about “forgiveness”??? Big thing with Christians and Catholics– Do you pray for those who hurt you or wrong you Jimbo?????
If you looked at a picture of Terry without ever having seen him “live,” you might not be impressed. If you saw a pic of Slade and never knew anything about him, you might expect him to live up to his looks. So much for judging a book by its cover. I love, love, love Terry. I also see a lot of what appears to be sincere caring between him and Heather. Nice change for this bunch.
Who’s the pretty lady to the left of Heather in the sparkler pic. Her hair’s gorgeous and looks real *gasp*
Who called Lex Jesus Jugs? HOW PERFECT!
Speaking of hair, Vicki not only appears to be doing her own make-up, but also her own hair. It really needs a treatment. Whatever is causing her to break out is making her hair dull and limp. Sad.
That banshee scream she comes out with…do you suppose Donn got to enjoy that little treat from her? It’s so automatic, no matter how inappropriate the occasion.
Did I read somewhere that Brianna and Ryan have taken up residence near Vicki?
BAD move. Psycho Gramma and The Leach aren’t going to make life easy for a pregnant mother or a new baby.
No way could JimmyChinChin have heard Alexis screaming “Babe” with the car windows rolled up. If the producers hadn’t signaled him to stop for her, who here thinks she’d have thrown herself in front of the car to stop him? (After removing her fur so it didn’t get tire tracks on it.)
Vrrroooom, Thump, Thump, Vrrrroooom.
About Vicki’s Banshee scream….it just shows how ungluded she is.
Brianne and ryan are great..he needs to get Bri. as far from her crazy ass mother as possible..
BTW… which one of Vicki’s credit cards did what’s his name use to buy the fur coat….or was it on loan from 1 800 furball?
I have said it before Vicki is a hot mess..I think she does her hair/makeup in a dark closet ..she is overweight, has acme scars all over her face and is a total ass…who is missing a few chips in the brain area…but she has some money ( I guess)..so what one point did I make above that makes her loser BF attracted to her??
I don’t think Vicki is over weight, she just doesn’t wear clothes that are flattering for her shape. If you have saggy boobs then don’t wear low cut shirts (Yeah you too Nene). You don’t look good in them. AT ALLL!!!
I think Jim DOES NOT WANT TO BE ON THE SHOW. I think he is mortified over his apperance on television, the storyline that highlights their financial facade – who rents a home by choice in this buyer’s market? Who wears fake diamonds if they can afford real ones? Where did the nannies go? What really does Jim do? Jim, I think, however, is in a dilemma because they NEED THE MONEY so he can pull back but he can’t pull the trigger and make Alexis quit. I can just hear him too telling Alexis that he is saving his soul by not participating and poor dingbat is falling for it hook, line and sinker. I think if Alexis would beleive in herself, she wouldn’t be as bad. She is attaractive, she has a work ethic. I hope one day she tells Jim that she makes the money now and he can either SFU or get the hell out. I don’t think he would say a word, just cower in the cornor.
Alexis is calling everyone of Jim’s friends and asked if he was a mysoginistic, pig-faced, fake chinned, vest wearing (oh god…that vest!), faking the funk asshole.
They will probably say he wears sweaters too.
I am stunned at how Alexis lets him get away with talking to her on national television. He must be a PEACH when the cameras aren’t on him.
“No way could JimmyChinChin have heard Alexis screaming “Babe” with the car windows rolled up. If the producers hadn’t signaled him to stop for her, who here thinks she’d have thrown herself in front of the car to stop him? (After removing her fur so it didn’t get tire tracks on it.) ”
I watched that scene again and Alexis had her cell phone so she probably called Jim and he FINALLY stopped.
What pissed me off was that she said thank you babe…thanks for WHAT?!!?!? Almost leaving me without even saying good bye…
@hot cawfee – Thanks!
@hlesczyn – totally totally agree. LOL if you put “Jim Bellino is” into Google, the suggestions are amazing!!!
Kudos to Honey Gangsta for the Terry/Jim photo caption!! I wonder if he felt awkward sitting there in front of a plastic surgeon with what was sure to be a cheap job! Also (sorry this is very misogynistic) any man should be embarrassed for having gotten that work done.
Like I said yesterday re: the Alexsis Jimbo car scene….Bravo orchestrated it. He was blasting Photgraph by Nickelback. I approve this message.
On a lighter note, was that a pink colored lock of hair tucked into Gretch’s H&M accessories feather? Me thinks it was. Someone likes Pinterest!
Re: Vick re-entering the party. I have changed my mind on her motive slightly. Heather came out to plead with her to come back in for the toast with the chance to WIN A FREE DIAMOND. After Vicki shelled out 15k for the teefs and probably another 6k on a mink she was thinking a free diamond would really help recoup some lost real equity and, she’d have something to give to Brooks to have made into a promise ring or some such bullshit. I can see that all flashing before her eyes in about 30 seconds then, off she goes, back into the party eyes a glow woth the prospect of a free diamond.
I think the selfrighteous speech about Brooks was just your typical attention seeking trademark Vicki temper tantrum.
I wonder what the grand total of tantrums/stroming out of parties Vicki has racked up over the years. It’s got to be well into the double digits. No one seems to love to leave an event in hysterics more than Vicki!
I wish they’d have updated us on whether or not Vicki has finally decided to step out of the 60s and stop wearing that hideous white lipstick.
And if my husband said that pants thing to ME in front of other people (or in private), I would have pulled his pants off him, put them on, and screamed “Hell yeah, motherfucker. And now you can put on this dress and beg for rides.”
Hlesczyn – buyers market? Unless you have cash, not a buyers market, especially out here in California. Since most home buyers have 750+ credit score, Jim and Alexis won’t be buying anytime too soon.
Too Old – it was written Briana bought a house 10 minutes from Vicki. No one can tell me if that was the house she was trying to unload.
MrsMia – men have been getting implants for years. Usually it is the lower body part – calves.
Anyone think Tamra getting the diamond was a set up as well?
Honey thanks for sticking with us this season. I think you did a great job. Can’t wait for the reunion recaps.
Nothing says “pretentious” quite like a velvet rope!…..Heather doesn’t seem to have anything sacred downstairs and it actually appeared that the ropes had to be crossed (Alexis and Sarah) just to get to the bathroom…Who barricades their home when to invited guests?? Heather tried to justify it by saying something about keeping her children safe….but by her own admission they were gone for the night…. Tamra’s “fancy pants” is kind compared to what goes through my brain when I see and hear her…. I never want to hear “shams” or “shut it down” (which is heather talk for shut the fuck up) again!
@Too-Old-To-Care:”No way could JimmyChinChin have heard Alexis screaming “Babe” with the car windows rolled up. If the producers hadn’t signaled him to stop for her, who here thinks she’d have thrown herself in front of the car to stop him? (After removing her fur so it didn’t get tire tracks on it.) ”
Well, let’s say so it didn’t get MORE tire tracks – it looked like a road kill to start with, he, he. (I hate fur…)
I think Jim wanted more drama by showing up late, or maybe the producers talked him into coming. I understand however, why he left. First Heather joined the conversation, and he even said “I’m not doing this “, or something like this. But he stayed. And then Tamra sits down – again, uninvited. In my opinion, the polite way of joining the conversation would be asking: Can I join you” or “Am I interupting” But I live in a normal world, and I don’t get more money for stirring more shit. Tamra started the whole thing, and even at the end she made sure it wasn’t resolved, but got even worse.
@Cherry- here here to never here CHAMPS again. My love for Vueve has been severly dimished b/c that witch’s vocab.
*never hearing
Tamra: Sphincter says “What?”
Vicki: “What?”
Tamra: Sphincter says “What?”
Vicki “What!!”
Tamra: Sphincter says “What?”
Vicki: “WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!!!!!!!!!”
I hate Vicki as much as anyone, but I understood her blowing her top at Tamra. Tamra has been working all season to get Vicki to lose it like that with her. She knows Vicki’s buttons and she knows how to push them. Vicki was useful as a scapegoat when Tamra needed to get away from Simon, and Tamra couldn’t ditch her right away without “throwing her under the bus.” So she did some time in purgatory last season, all the while making it clear she thought Vicki was a pill, and this season she did all the right things to dis Vicki just enough so that Vicki would be the one to blow up and crazily End The Friendship. The eye-rolling at that point was the last straw in a long line of little digs that seemed incomprehensible to Vicki who couldn’t understand what the hell was going on with her supposed BFF. I’m intrigued at the whole thing because obviously this show is Tamra’s whole life. She puts all of her intellectual energy into how she appears on it. The drinking gets in her way sometimes and brings the trailer trash in her to the surface, but she’s getting better at handling it.
Jim and Sarah were totally foisted on the party by the producers. I think Alexis was so pathetic with Jim because she knew he was forced to be there.
@labower – I understand that but it seems as though Jim/Alexis wants everyone to think THEY HAVE THE CASH
@Cherrylipgloss seeing as they had uninvited guests, Jeana, Kara, and Sarah, I would rope my house off also, so that people can only party in the party part of the house.
I swear Heather has ruined the word “Champs” for me…
@gypsy, don’t speak of Veuve in that tone!!!! It’s Heather who has ruined this…
Ok, so conspiracy theory here…no matter what is happening between the wives there is usually an end of the season party and they all take a group picture even if they want to claw each others eyes out. Alexis wasn’t there for the end of the party. Of course I know why she wasn’t there, Jimmy the Chin almost left her to hitch hike back to their rental.
I’m just wondering if the final scenes were a subtle hint that Alexis won’t be back next season. If you really think about it, she’s irrelevant at this point, she’s vapid and inane and too easy to make fun of. Bring back Jeanna Keogh!!!
I am all over a two year hiatus and then come back and see where these attention whores have landed.
@labowner – Two Years??? I can’t even wait the two weeks till the reunion!!
Which small, two-bit, trailer park from Mississippi is Brooks from that he (a) knows about the “evil eye (WTF??); and (b) brings it up as if it were the same as Tamra wielding a can of anthrax?
This whole finale looked staged – from Tamra starting that dumb fight, to Brooks babbling about the evil eye, to Jimbo, the Chin of Christ showing up, and then storming out.
Oh, and Vicki. She’s looking more and more like JarJar Binks, and is about as erudite as Sarah Palin on crack.
Featherhead it would force Tamra to get a job. Conveniently the only time we saw her “working” during this season was to bring in Heather. Never again did we hear about her real estate job. Eddie doesn’t make enough to support her and her kids.
Also, Slade and Gretchen would fall apart as well without the cameras and Bravo’s paycheck.
“And if my husband said that pants thing to ME in front of other people (or in private), I would have pulled his pants off him, put them on, and screamed “Hell yeah, motherfucker. And now you can put on this dress and beg for rides.” ”
Sugarbush, you made my whole damn day with that! The way he looked at her when he said that made me want to rear up and let out a Spartan roar for the ages before knocking him on his ass. Her face crumpling made me feel so badly for her for about a moment, but then I realized she could have said something snarky back. Ooohwee. And am I alone in thinking that this dude is just obnoxious enough and that much of an asshole that he’s totally capable of having an extramarital affair and blaming Alexis for it if that ever happened? Augh.
Vicki has lost her mind. The way her son in law handled her crazy was boss, and his offer to be as open and honest as she needed him to be show such character that she didn’t know what to do with herself. I was very impressed, go Briana! And the whole bullshit with the evil eye was ridiculous, and Brooks actually whispering, WHISPERING in Vicki’s ear was elementary grade crap. Who does that!? While Tamra is a foul beast with wrinkles, it’s like Brooks wanted to instigate this as well.
Yay! Finale over! Season over! The Vicki WINNNSS!! The Vicki WINNNNSS!!
(Sorry, having a Yankee announcer moment. )
Seriously, yay on another great recap!
Heather – yep, it was a “yay for me changing my name” pink princess party, but I liked the way she shut down Sara Slur down. She carried herself pretty well throughtout the season, which is not a lot for this bunch of twats, but it it something. And I still think Terry is totes cute!
Gretchen – subtle promotion about the song “unbreakable” (“this is because you are unbreakable, Tamra. You don’t break, much like a CD. If you were a CD, I would label you ‘unbreakable’ and if anyone asked you who said that, you could say ‘Gretchen Rossi’. Yay friendship bracelet!!”) Well, at least Slade has a future escorting people out of parties.
Tamra – what a vile cunt – but, she does bring the party to life with her dark force of evil shit-stirring. I bet she was the first woman to make Jim the Chin run away, and for that, I am forever grateful. Note to yourself – have tear ducts checked for vital signs and eardrums for damage – that fake crying is getting blogged about and Vicki’s season long screeching could cause deafness. And beyond the middle finger, I don’t see you having much success with sign language.
Alexis – just a big furry cloud of stupid. Had a sympathy after the Costa Rica cuntfest, but getting all high and mighty about Sara Slur has shut that down. It was funny watching her run after him in the car – I was convinced that she would have kept going and you would have had an end credit of her running down the street all the way home. She is that stupid. And if that was me that chinned up dick said that garbage to, the next get rich scheme would not involve trampolines, but one way trips to the moon via fist express.
Vicki – remember those happy days when we would all chuckle over Vicki’s meltdown about the family van or she showing up unannounced at her kids’ homes? What the fuck happened? She is raging, manipulative cow. It was like watching a sugar high 10 year old in a 50 year old body. “You have to like Brooks!!! Look at the fur he got me!!! Ryan, tell Brianna to like Brooks!! My love tank is full and fuck you for not liking Brooks!! Toast to me at someone else’s party!!!”
And now the reunion – HoneyG, I know you will bring it!!
@classydrunk….I know shame on me (sulking in the corner) BUT WHO THE HELL SAYS CHAMPS???
I am going to go buy a bottle of Vueve tonight to make it up to Madame and b/c I have vacation!
At comment #24…I dig your thought process but would love to have Brianna as a HW next season.
Ok Gasm, I’m off on vaca…Happy 4th and I’ll check in with you amazeballs when I get the chance, hopefully after reunion part 1!
Thanks for the recaps!
Do any of these things ring true (Vickie – I’m looking at you)
1. Often an abuser limits one’s access to friends and family or tries to induce a sense of mistrust in others.”
2. Since emotional abuse can occur in so many different ways, it’s often difficult for a loved one — or even the abusers themselves — to recognize the signs of emotional abuse
3. Making things worse is the fact that many victims of emotional abuse become “brainwashed” into believing that the abuser really cares for them.
4. Their abuser has often isolated them through intimidation. They are reluctant to trust others because they fear angering their abuser.”
There are other signs, and I for one believe that Brooks is delibertly separating Vickie from her freinds and family, so she becomes more reliant on him.
LAC Vicki is going through the change.
Thank god my mom warned us all, because some days we thought she was going to kill us with her looks.
I live in good old OC, and have seen Vicki in person. She’s actually quite normal looking, and kind of pretty. I only noticed her because I was coveting the purse she was carrying and then I had a, “Wait…isn’t that….it is!!” moment. That being said, she’s my least favorite of the housewives.
While I was watching the finale last night, my husband chimed in: “People are drinking, and acting stupid.” So true…
@sugarbush, I peed in my own pants when I read your comment.
@LAC, Terry is totes cute.
Heather and Terry seem so ok that I wonder what on earth is really wrong with them because something MUST be for them to be on this show. No one who really is the way that they seem would need or want this bullshit.
I do hope Alexsis comes back although i also got the vibe she wont.
I want Gretchen To break up with Slade next season! it’s just a Repeating storyline with those two. Kids? pfft!
Tamara is an evil bitch but shes the pot stirirr and for tv must have her.
Heather has been pretentious from the start and i disliked that quality about her
but her husband who has been attached mostly throughout with her is what makes
her worth standing.
Vicki was getting old with her love tank not full repeating story line but this season
was a step up cause we got to see it unravel and shamefully admit to look forward to more.
I’d like to see another new face next season without getting rid of this cast. Best season, since 4!
I hope Alexis comes back because I want to see how good the writers are. If they can pull off a redemption season for her they should get Emmys.
Oh Lawtey ….I never wanna hear the word “shamps” again….That and “Shut it down” are so annoying. I feel like “shut it down” is Mizz Dubrows prim way of saying “shut the f up!”. Heather seems to think that if she makes a durogatory comment with perfect diction that it doesnt count. The way she jumped in on the conversation against Alexis was one example… also when she said to Tamra “Oh, is that why she (Alexis) dresses that way?”…..She definitely gets her digs in as much the others she just tries to remain poised when she delivers.
The whole party scene made me concur with Miss Tammy Sue and her fancy pants assessment of Heather. She wouldn’t have known there were “uninvited” guests coming so the ropes were prearranged for any and all of her friends. It was clear the party area was outdoors. Reminded me of Kim Z and her $5,000.00 porta potties. Wonder if Miz Dubrow had porta potties since the girls had to cross the rope to use the restroom. So far I”m not warming up to Heather’s “better than the little ppl” attitude….
If Slade gets unclipped, will there be another “frozen peas” scene? Just wondering.
Vicki’s behavior and skin this season is making me seriously wonder if she has more problems than wines by wives, or whatever that business is called. She was a raging hose beast the whole season. Brooks is just awful in so many ways.
I may be in the minority here, but I thought it was appropriate that Tamra sat down to talk to Jim. She’s the one that not only took Terry’s name in vain, but exaggerated what he said. Jim didn’t want to deal with a creature that bleeds once a month. If he couldn’t have his 5 minutes of housewives airtime with Terry, he didn’t want it at all. I think that’s why he’s really bowed out of filming. He doesn’t like being out manuvered or out smartted by any of the women. If he had spoken to me the way he spoke to Alexis, I would have punched him in the throat.
Did anyone catch 20/20 tonight? I just ran across this article. I would give my right boob to be a fly on the wall in Vicki’s house tonight!
http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/brooks-ayers-real-housewives-orange-county-star-deadbeat/story?id=16665952#.T-5nOY62O1t
@Kammie….I just finished watching and what an eyeopener for vicki….what a scum bag to say he had a vasectomy….then get her pregnant and THEN never see the baby!! He is the worst of the worst. Brianna was right on…..vindication!
@Kammie. Vicki will see that 20/20 interview as simply sour grapes or whatever other rose-colored rationalization she finds in her own tiny mind. Love isn’t only blind, in some cases it’s downright dim-witted.
Crooks is ONLY 45?!?!? I guess trying to remember which lies you’ve told takes a lot out of a person.
@5 Too Old– bbwwhhaaahhhaa “banshee scream” and Vrooom Thump
@Gypsy— Happy Vacation doll– Be safe and have fun
@32 Slight– (no I shall call you Buzzy !!!!) Wow—you are on to something. In his creepy Southern gentlemanly way he has cast a spell over Vicki. He is such a low-life he would with hold affection from her to get something out of her.
@41 Kammie– AWESOMENESS!!!!!!!! Thanks for providing this—I missed the show—saw Danny Pelosi and fell asleep
@Kammie, great link. Crooks is such a pathological liar that he would be a perfect match for Taylor Armstrong, so I hope to see him on RHBH after Vicki finally wakes up and kicks his ass to the curb.
The funniest to me is I don’t think he even knew what he was saying. I think he’d heard the expression “side eye” since he’s been out in California. And meant to say that. But couldn’t remember it right. I don’t think he’s real talented at vocabulary words.
I watched the 20/20 – Vicki had to have been having a fit!!! Just confirms everything everyone else has been telling her. 20/20 tried to go to her house & office but couldn’t speak with anyone.
I think we should give them a brangelina kind of name like, oh maybe Cricki! or Crocki! Or some variation thereof. You guys are imaginative!
Kammie,Thanks sooo much for the clip from 20/20 it was great..but Vicki is sick and won’t be able to see the truth plus I can not help but enjoy watching this train wreck..I just fell sorry for her children…
I also can’t stand Tamara..she must have so much botox that her tear ducts are frozen…those two woman are awful..in fact there is really no one likeable on the show except for Gretchen..she is a lot of fun..
also what kind of creeper is Brooks with his ” I’m a hugger”..he is most likely trying to pick pockets as he hugs!
I’m not a fan of Jim by any means, and I’m not even a Christian, but MAN does it get annoying seeing people make fun of and/or question Jim & Alexis’s religion. If anyone did that with a Muslim, they would get called horrible names.
Also, Jim WAS ambushed at that party. Why did Terry need Heather & Tamra there to have his back? *eye roll* Didn’t the 2 men agree to have a one on one conversation. I like Terry, but what a snarky bastid. He says one thing in front of someone and then rips them apart behind their back. I don’t think I’d want that in a Dr.
Vicki needs to wake up. Brooks is a con man, and she’s too desperate to see it.
Is it wrong that everytime they show Brooks that Steve Miller’s the Joker starts playing in my head?
Check out this link about Brooks. Hahha!
http://www.allabouttrh.com/2020-exposes-brooks-ayers-proof-that-brooks-is-a-deadbeat-dad/
opps I didn’t notice someone already posted it, sorry!
@Where’s my Coffee? – Thanks for that POV. I feel the same way about everyone picking on Jim and Alexis’s religious views. They shouldn’t be picked on for being Christians (of whatever version of it they are…I’m one, but I don’t really agree with really anything they say or do). Instead, they should be made fun of for being stupid liars and Jim should be knocked out for completely and publicly disrespecting his wife. Fucker. (Yes, Christians are allowed to cuss…at least that wasn’t covered in the Bible)
Love the piece of Crooks. I wish I could have seen the show. What a douche nozzle to lie about a vasectomy. Thank God Vicki is so damn old – she shouldn’t have to worry about getting pregnant.
When is Vicki going to realize that her family and friends are right? Crooks really is a con man and doesn’t give a flying f*ck about her love tank. She doesn’t deserve that regardless of the fact that she’s a shrieking harpy.
Love the idea of Brianna being a HW next season.
Also, love Crooksie skedaddling up the coast to BH and hooking up with Shana, uh, Taylor.
@50 Linda– LOVE IT !!!! I vote for Crocki– like a crock of s%@&
@51 TV Junkie– you just reminded of something– An old friend was dating a real conniving jerk–he was also a “hugger”. I couldnt stand him not a lot of other people–whenever I saw him I always got a big and long hug–He told my friend he hugs “B/c if you are hugging someone, they cannot be mad at you or dislike you” Yeah…wanna bet????
@52 Where’s my Coffee (here I am !!!!–hahahaha) and 56 Sugar. I see your points–My issue with them is that for people who call themselves “Christians”, they seem to not follow any pattern of religious worship other than conspicuous consumption, misogyny (yeah Jimmy Chin– I am looking right at you) and immodesty and well hell: divorce. Both Alexis and Jim are on marriage number two.There seems to me not any form of faith-filled path. They may be forever donating money and time to a soup kitchen or Habitat for Humanity or any charitable organization. And BRAVO and its oh-so-crafty edi-rection (editing and direction), any good works may be left on the cutting room floor. It could be why Quinn from Season 2 was tossed from the show.
There seems to me not any form of faith-filled path.
I completely agree. I will question all day long the religion of people who make a point of giving lip service to their Christianity when there seems to be very little practice to go along with it. With these people I have to ask if they are Christians, then why to they do this, and this, and this, etc.
Okay – I didn’t even watch this season because Vicki makes me break out in warts. But I came across part two, just as the crisis with our healthcare system – I mean the bow on Heather’s cake was irreversibly damaged. From the way Heather described it, you’d think someone put the People’s Elbow through it. (That’s a wresting reference, for those of you smart enough not to be interested in the WWE.) I could have taken a small pair of scissors and snipped off the broken tip of the ribbon and NO ONE WOULD BE THE WISER. NO ONE. Damn those Bravo cameras.
The other huge WTF moment is Pig Nose’s boyfriend, Brooks. Where the hell did he come from? Probably hell, because if I was Satan I would have kicked his ass out. He reminds me of my 18 year old daughter when she’s cranky because she hasn’t eaten yet. But it was oddly fascinating. Throw a dress and a wig on him, and stick an orange in his hand and he can be your new housewife next season!!
And BTW – what exactly happens to you when you get the evil eye? Do you turn to stone? Do you lose your credit? I hope they tell us next season. I also think next season will be the one where we find out Alexis husband is a serial killer. For real.
@CynTV…the way I saw it, it wasn’t so much an evil eye as a “here we go again with Vicki and her Alexis love” look…..Tammy Sue was just annoyed at Vicki constantly bringing up Alexis, which she clearly does out of her jealousy over Tamra and Gretchens newfound friendship. Vicki has gone out of her way to show her allegiance to Alexis just to get to Tamra.
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is the deal with “evil eye”? Is this suddenly OCGypsies?? What kind of backwoods slack-jawed knuckle-dragging fool does someone have to be to even USE that term as if there actually IS such a thing??? It wouldn’t freak me out if I thought there was any chance these morons think it’s just a more concise way to say, “Bitch-slap of an eye-roll,” but it’s pretty clear some of these winners actually think there’s a possibility you could curse someone just by looking at them. Gods, I wish. Especially if it worked just by starring at the tv.
I’m sorry, I’m watching re-runs and Heather lost me a lot with Cake-gate. After her over the top, poorly acted reaction to both hearing the about the cake bow being eaten to actually seeing the evidence (making sure her body was perfectly angled so that the camera could see her reaction – so staged) the FIRST thing she did was run straight to her fellow cast mates to complain, loudly, in her “omigod Becky, look at her butt” valley girl snarl that Sarah (the “Stripper”) had eaten a tiny, miniscule, itty bitty UNnoticable peice of her cake. Yes, that was wrong of Sarah, but a good hostess wouldn’t have made such a situation about the whole thing (I refuse to believe someone who is as sophisticated as Heather would have reacted this way if a more “elite” group of people were at her party, not funded by Bravo of course). And let’s not forget that Heather RAN AROUND to other guests to COMPLAIN about the situation and her “hideous” guest (invited by Bravo, come on Heather, you knew she’d be there).
And I don’t get the Alexis hate. Heather is so worried that Alexis would start drama while inviting well known screamers/drama queens Vicki and Tamra? Riiiiight. I’ve recalled Alexis raising her voice, but nowhere near the level of those two. Besides, I thought part of Alexis’ problem was that she didn’t acknowledge her problems with other castmates (which is a form of “fakery” with this crowd). So wouldn’t it stand to reason that Alexis WOULDN’T come to the party with the intent of “getting into it” with the host’s husband? That part of her “problem” was she would pretend it didn’t HAVE a problem with Terry or Heather? And if Alexis hadn’t defended Sarah, she would have been called a back stabber and a phoney friend, yet somehow doing so makes her high and mighty? Yeah, not getting that either.
I still like Heather, but the shine’s off that silver dollar. And I would take Alexis ANY DAY over Vicki and Tamra (Jimbo excluded of course).
Btw, how intimidated must Jim have felt being at the table with a legitimately successful man (Terry)?
@blissful….I don’t find anyone sophisticated who reacted that way to bowgate….should have been handled privately…..and without tossing her out of the party….it wasnt THAT offensive after all. It even looked repairable to me. Also, for someone being concerned about drama, why would she have been so quick to cause it herself. I actually would have asked someone from the staff to inform her that the cake would be served shortly and would she mind waiting until that time to sample it and have the chef fix the damage…..easy-peasy!
@RHhater….agree about the “evil eye”…wtf…do they practice voodoo?? brooks looked like a wuss saying that. and I just rewatched and actually vicki was joking with slade, said “I love you” to him….then she said “I love you Alexis, wherever you are” laughed it off and then brooks started his crap. there actually was no toast….another bit of overreaction, but I think vicki’s meltdown was more of built up anger over her jealousy of the gretchen/tamra friendship and tamra’s doubts about brooks sincerity
I still say there’s something amusingly old-school about the Dubrows. It’s like they were both let out of an 80′s vault to do this show.
I honestly think Vicki is on drugs.
The hair, the bad skin, being (more) irrational.
@psikitty, I was convinced she was on some kind of steroid treatment for something until she made it so obvious how much she hates how she looks. And then I figured she’d make a big deal out of it if meds were making her look that way. Unless she has something wrong with her that’s more embarrassing to her than how she looks? I just can’t see her doing recreational drugs. She’d seem more human to me if I could!
Good point Blissful (#63) about Jimmy the Chin.
“how intimidated must Jim have felt being at the table with a legitimately successful man (Terry)?”
He already didn’t want to have the conversation there. I still don’t like the pig, though.
vicki said that Brooks is almost 45 years old!! wtf?? he might be almost 65!
They don’t look much alike, but otherwise Brooks reminds me SO much of Ken Blumenfeld. He’s the guy who swept Kim Richards off her feet with lies and emotional domination. The only difference is that I don’t think Kim was supporting him financially.
The rest of it is a repeat of the Kim/Ken fiasco. The crazy, emotional swings, the HW turning against her family when they try to warn her about the the t*rd, and blindly insisting “I’m HAPPY! For the first time in my life, “I’m Happy!”
Side note: I read that Vicki and Crooks were the only OCHW cast members that Alexis invited to Jim’s 50th birthday party in Napa recently.
@65 MaryEdith—- OMG– you nailed it!!!!!!!! Yes– thay have a real 1980′s sheen/-equeness to them. She is a real snob but Terry is the goods—love him. If he breaks out a Cosby sweater I will lose it.
That 20/20 spot on Brooks being a deadbeat dad made me so sad for that little boy. Ugh. No child, no children should ever be made to feel as if they’re an “extra”, an unwanted addition. That burns me. And if Vicki is too fucking blind to see it, then screw her too. I’m a mother, and the ache that just caused! I can’t imagine what his ex’s must be enduring.
I can’t believe she spent 85 seasons spitting venom on Slade (who’s still a scumbag, thanks) and here she is dating Slade in 15 years.
Clouds I hope you are just as angry at the mom for not using birth control and for not planning financially to have a child.
You want equality women, you can’t claim victim at the same time. He lied to me so I didn’t use protection and viola, I got pregnant, but it is not my fault I slept with a separated man, it’s his fault.
@CynTV – I am definitely low-class enough to get the “People’s Elbow” reference. I’m still trying to figure out how the hell they noticed the bow breakage.
Why wasn’t there an update on Slade’s comedy career? Mr. Sugarbush walked in the other day when Slade and Gretchen were arguing and he brought up his comedy career. Mr. Sugarbush, who won’t come near anything Housewives without a crucifix and some high-end garlic, stops dead in his tracks and goes, “He’s a fucking comedian now?” Even someone who has no idea who Slade is knows Slade is full of shit.
@labowner why would Clouds be? The mom didn’t say her child was an “extra” child, Brooks said that about her child.
@labowner— I see what you mean, but understand that he told her he had a vasectomy, and ignorant her believed him. Dummy her, yes. But here is this, if he’s legally separated and waiting for his divorce to process, why shouldn’t she have dated him? Vicki’s still married to Donn and she’s out with Brooks, I don’t see anything wrong with that. Donn’s dating too! There is no mourning period unless you’re saddened the relationship is over, but divorce papers were filed, soyeah, I think it’s safe to say that the grown man could date.
And not for nothing, but if not having children isn’t in your agenda you don’t exactly set aside money for them. And like Classy Drunk said, I’m angry at him calling his fourth child “extra”. Even if he didn’t mean it in the way I took it (and the reporter, and the mother), you don’t use that word. Ever. Not unless you’re casting a movie or they gave you an extra nugget at McDonald’s. Not in regards to a child. The question he was asked was how many children did he have, and he said three, and an extra one. There’s no looking at that differently other than him being an asshole and not thinking of what he’s saying. So for now, I’m not mad at the mother, not until she’s dumb enough to go on a reality show and flaunting a lifestyle she can’t afford because she has child support payments to make.
As a side note, the mother of his last child wasn’t complaining that “oh he left me” it was more like “he hasn’t seen his son in 3 years”. It is his responsibilty at the very damn least to help out what he can with that child. You don’t have to have a relationship with him, but when you disappear and avoid your child that makes you scum. Yes, she’s a moron for not using protection, but it takes two to make a child, so that makes him equally guilty.
Clouds, why didn’t she use protection if she doesn’t have money for a child? Why would she want this man in her child’s life?
20/20 should have covered all the deadbeat folks from the Real Housewives franchise. It could have been a full show.
@labowner — my assumption (heavy on the assumption) is because she believed that she wouldn’t get knocked by a guy who claimed to have the snip snip. I have no idea to be honest, but that’s on her and him. Had I been the guy I would have questioned her birth control methods as well as used my own. But now the child’s here, and the reasoning behind her choice (or perhaps lack thereof) is moot. Whatever the case may be with her, it’s done, and I’m sure no matter how much she dislikes Brooks, she loves her son and doesn’t regret her decision.
I Googled Terry Dubrow to learn more about him. Now I wish I hadn’t. :^(

Just watching this ep now and had to skip the comments as I am only at Jim’s funky vest arrival and there is so much more to go. But just wondering if anyone else has noticed the Jack Wagner look-a-like dude with the other glasses-wearing beefy dude? They are everywhere. They are in all the shots. I am finding this quite humorous. Love when they end the series with a big party…Beverly Hills does that so well too. Anyway, back to the show. Can’t wait to read the rest of the re-cap. God, I love TV Gasm.
Just finished watching. Wow. Will Vicki wake up? I mean, I saw this dude featured on Dateline. Felt embarrassed for Heather – so much drama at a party! Then again, that’s what they want. Still, that wouldn’t happen at one of my parties. Okay, off to read the rest of the re-cap and the comments. Ah, love this place.
The Final Re-Dub on the season? Absolutely fucking Fantastic!!!!!!!!
