She couldn’t have stopped halfway through that, could she? Nope. It has to come back around to her. Mike weighs in and tells the camera that he found out about the marriage on Facebook and it’s disappointing. Aw, that’s kind of sad. But Briana has gotten a huge ring in the meantime. Heather tells her it’s very elegant. Tamra yells to the room, “Are you pregnant?” OMG, shut up, people!
Next Tamra and Vicki stand up and tell about their latest business racket – this wine club. I, for one, am sure it will go far. Meanwhile Heather tells us she’s getting the feeling that these women don’t go to many formal events and they’re out of their element. Unlike her, of course, who attends MANY formal plastic surgery functions, necessitating a private “clothe-ee-ay,” as we well know.
Brooks has had a few too many and corners Vicki and Tamra to tell them what an excellent job they’ve both done raising their sons. He tells Tamra that her Ryan is “the bomb.com.” Keep in mind, these are people he’s met in the last 10 minutes. Also keep in mind that he said, “bomb.com.” Vicki is enamored. Tamra is disgusted. I’m with Tamra.
Vicki goes up to Briana and Ryan and tells them that she’d like them to meet Brooks now. After all, she’s accepted Ryan into the family so now Briana owes it to her to accept Brooks. How can she possibly think it’s the same thing? This is the THIRD love-interest she’s dragged into Briana’s life and she’s still married to Briana’s stepdad who raised her. Briana is very irritated and does not want to meet Brooks at all. She even correctly points out how critical Vicki would be if one of the other housewives were dating Brooks. But they all go into a room and Vicki makes the introductions. Vicki goes on about how everyone is in transition and Briana just keeps looking at her husband. Brooks butts in and says he’s glad Briana’s happy and he’s been praying for her health. Also he thinks it’s interesting that two midwestern women came to California and met two southern men. Vicki jumps in to point out that Brooks is from the poorest state in America and she’s from the richest county in California. What? Is everyone wasted? Vicki says everyone gravitates toward people they love. Briana gravitated toward Ryan and Vicki gravitated toward Brooks. Briana goes, “It’s totally different.” Ryan looks back and forth and just says, “To each his own.” Vicki can’t stand the nerve and attitude of these two young reckless hooligans. She tells us she just hopes Briana knows that she’s hurting her deeply, she would never do that to Briana (too late!), and she didn’t raise her to be that rude (I beg to differ if we’re teaching by example here).
Next week! Gretchen still doesn’t want to marry Slade, Slade wants to buy a fake diamond ring, and Alexis has a birthday party for small children where she gives a very detailed medical account of her daughters’ birth. Also, Vicki and Briana get into it and Briana tells Vicki that regarding her relationship with Donn, Briana knows a lot more than Vicki thinks. What could that mean!?
So tell me what you think about the whole not-reception! And remember – there is no “us” without “u.” LOVE!

When did Tamara become my favorite and the voice of reason?? The bra shopping- I looked and the French sizing is the same as US. And Vicki states she hates big boobies yet she had implants, and they droop. I think Tamara looks great now. Go Briana!! Live your life. Vicki does, so why not you. Take your husband and move east away from the crazy one. The speach before introducing Briana and hubby was all about her and at the very end she added Briana. Vicki never goes out of character that this is all about her.
Michael looked very mature but isn’t he still living at home at 25 with a full time job? So we have to give it to Ryan. Even though he works with Eddie at least he has is own place.
Not much of Alexis this week. It is a big (not pet) peeve of mine with people being late when being on time is important. I do give Alexis some slack because she is not firing on all 8 cyclinder upstairs and she has to lug big old Jimmy Chin-Chin around. She does try hard and the religion preaching is less this season.
Brooks is creapy. He creaps me out. He is slick and I want him off my tv. His slime is oozing out of the tv and onto my floor. The speach about the boys, icky icky. After hearing Briana’s talk about the things Vicki provides for Brooks, he and Slade have a lot in common.
Finally, Love Heather’s husband (a doctor, right??) Great humor. Heather should learn to roll with his jokes and joke with him. But it can be hard to laugh with a stick – up there.
HG – good catch on the dresses. I read these, always but don’t have time to post.

Really Fuckin’ Tired Reality Cliches that Need to be Retired
1. Woman calling their breasts “the girls.”
2. Fiances asking reality dads to marry their daughters.
3. “I’m inviting X and Y to my theme party and there had BETTER NOT BE DRAMA.”
4. Bravo-sponsored McCareers.
5. The phrase “Are you kidding me right now??”
I just wanted to say that I thought Briana looked amazing in the dress!! It looked much better on her than it did on Tamra!
Also, Brooks makes me feel physically ill.
Great recap!
I’ll always have a soft spot for Gretchen’s dad, he won me over with the statement “Whoops, I almost stepped in a big pile of Slade!” It seems he’s had Slade’s number from the get go. I noticed he never really answered Slade’s question of “permission to marry his daughter”. Ha!
Brook’s is Creepy McCreepyson and everytime I look at him I think “45???45???? This slimeball is younger than me, but looks older then my dad, gross!!”
On WWHL, Alexis admitted to calling her news station to see if they had really asked Gretchen first, they denied it and she sent them a contract of exclusitivity, so no other housewife can by a “news anchor” (LOL) like her.
Lynn Curtin is finally divorcing Frank!!
Briana, the poor thing, has always been harassed by her annoyingly overbearing mother. Vicki’s an asshole for making Briana’s experiences and choices all about her. When she told the camera how SHE was going to miss planning parties, and how SHE was disappointed that this was happening to HER, just ugh. I like Donn, i can see why he became distant from her, most likely he got tired of her shit. And I love, love love that he’s still a part of the kids’ lives. Briana really does care for Donn, and if Vicki had any sort of a clue, she’d see that and respect it. No wonder Brooks is fleecing the shit out of her, she’s so into herself she can’t see two feet in front of her.
Tamra’s son, Ryan, reeeeeeeeeeeeeeally got ugly. He wasn’t a bad looking kid, but as he gets older he seems to be looking more Unabomber-esque. Ew. He just looks dusty and indulged. I can’t. As a mother I can get why Tamra wants to pamper her son, but he looks like he would totally take advantage. And that ugly ass beard doesn’t detract from your bald spot hon. Just saying.
Slade, you annoy me. Ugh.
Brooks has got his storyline (he’s Slade 2.0) , and he’s gonna work it ’till everybody pukes.
And then the producers will have him work it some more.
Great recap, Honey!
Creepy Brooks gave an interview where he stated that he and Vicki met in 2007 but were strictly friends. Uh-huh. I’m hoping that’s what Brianna brings up. I’m sure Vicki was cheating on Donn during all those “insurance conferences” she went to. She probably flew Brooksie in.
He’s also moved to California so they can “take the relationship to the next level.” I assume that means making him a signer on her bank account.
Sometimes I lay awake at night and think Vicki really IS dumber than Alexis.
Please please please let Brianna drop a bomb. Like one of those bombs where you can literally see the shit hit the fan. Yes one of those.
Brooks is laying it on too thick. I think it is ok to say it looks like you have raised some nice young men, but to elaborate and you don’t even know them is crazy pants. Then to speak about Michael’s sister after just meeting him was over the line. Catty comment normally only work with women when they don’t like someone. That’s why we have all bonded over these shows.
I noticed Brianna and Tamra had on the same dress as soon as Tamra walked into the event. They both looked very nice and Tamra doesn’t look as slutty with normal people boobs.
Gretchen is smart for thinking through a marriage to Slade. Love doesn’t pay the creditors when they come knocking at your door to evict you. Ask Lynn and Sharee.
Poor Brianna. To have a person in your life let alone your mother who never lets you have any attention or can never let anything be about you is exhausting. I hope that Ryan is able to make her happy and shower her with all the attention her mother doesn’t let her have.
As much as I hate Vicki, she does kind of have a point in Briana not telling her about getting married (ugh did I really just type that?). My brother got married in Vegas and not only did he not tell anyone, he kept it a secret for about 4 months. After seeing the trauma it caused my mother, I can kind of see where Vicki is coming from. That being said, I think she is WAY over the top about this whole thing revolving around HER. She can still throw a reception or whatnot and celebrate things.
Also, why force the meeting with Brooks right then – to make it about her of course! I was pretty sure Vicki said something about gravitating toward ‘people who love you’ vesus who we love again making it one-sided. Briana was kind of an asshole about that whole meeting but I cut her some slack having had to deal with Vicki as your mom for the last 25 years.
Totally with Tamra on Brooks fawning over Mike and Ryan – they are strangers! Stop being such a creep.
I was convinced Tamra and Brianna had the same dress on. Thanks for confirming!!
@(space )NWMTV
You forgot: Key Grip…..Vicki Gunvalson
And, how DARE YOU insult Slade like that!
Love the double dresses and that I love Brianna and Tamra this season. Gretchy take those icky extensions out your real hair was so muh nicer. Thanks HG!
I agree with ya TVSnark– I heart Terry so much that I am ok with putting up with Heather (how pretentious is she?? I mean for a big band singer)
And Mike– MVP for coming to Mom’s shin-dig in jeans–bbwwahhaahhaaa–cause we know Vick-ster laid out his clothes and didnt wear them–lololol
I think Brooks (shuddering) is making Slimey Slade look good. He is totally trying to keep himself on TV with Gretchen
@feather– yikes !!!! and well…yay for Lynn Curtain
@ 1 TVSnarkling hate to tell you but Brianna and Ryan just bought a house 10 minutes away from Vicki. What I can’t figure out is if she bought the second house Vicki was trying to sell.
If Vicki needs Donn to pay the mortgage, how is she planning on staying in her abode? Does she expect Brooks to help? Does Brooks know that she needs Donn’s money to pay the mortgage? Does she need Donn’s money because she is spending all of hers on Brooks and his legal problems and crotch fruit? All of this and more on the next SOAP.
@ 5 Clouds I wonder of Tamara is making up for her past of being a crappy mom to Ryan. Where is his dad?
I don’t think I’d trust Ryan alone with my guinea pig. He might try to take it to Vegas and marry it.
But what would really worry me is that he might not wait for the ceremony before starting the wedding night activities, if you know what I mean.
And I think you do.
Cosign on everyone mentioning Tamra being the voice of reason, all season she has. Its refreshing and on top of that she has normal sized boobs now too? Who is this woman, I’m thinking Eddie is a good influence on her!
I gotta say I would take Slade over Brooks any day, Slade is a loser but I can’t deal with that cheesy phoniness that Brooks spews. Its vomit inducing through the TV, I can’t even imagine stomaching it in person. Love Terry’s sense of humor, he’s great.
Mike came to the party in jeans and a button up b/c he was swamped with lining up comforter stripes in Coto all day that day.
A friend of one of the other regular posters here saw Vicki, Brooks and Mike at the Kentucky Derby. So, they’re still together. Ick!
I know I have said this before, but, MR Z and I went to the court house in Seattle and got married. We did not tell anyone! We were found out when a letter from Tricare came to me while I was still living with my aunt! So we did a family ceremony 5 months later. My mom still got to help pick out wedding dresses. My dad did walk me down the isle, but it wasn’t like he thought it would be. My parents had met MR Z before. They really did like him. My mom made a joke about how your car insurance will go down in price when you hit 25 or get married…we hadn’t told her that we actally were…
What the hell is Vicki going to do when she becomes Granny Vicki?!?! You know that child isn’t going to be able to call her Grandma!
to steal from the T&T minicap, Vicki is a thundercunt! yes, I said cunt because it totally applies to her, bitch, hate her!!
I am so glad Tamara took out the implants, I know she is a tiny person and those fake boobs made her look pudgy. Honestly, I work my ass off to stay slimish, there is no way I would ever add the “weight” (the appearance of weight) of fake boobies on my body. Vicki would look considerably better if she reduced the size of her saggy boobies in addition to getting a better bra (i’d still hate the shit out of her though). Ughs, I see it in the gym all the time, gals with cute figures get their implants and they instantly look heavier. Sorry for the boob rant.
Also, from the perspective of a pilates instructor, I can’t look at Michael’s neck, freaks me the fuck out.
LOL Whoochile! Thundercunt
Have you read all 513 comments over there? Ok So I may have contributed some of them, but still….Vicki is either a thundercunt or a choochwaffle, have yet to decide
omg, my head exploded and my eyes bled from reading all those comments. Coochwaffle is another great term. There was another one that someone threw around but I simply can’t plow through them again.
Coochwaffle LOL. That’s a good one. I’ve heard of twatwaffle before.
I understand people were a little surprised by the elopement and I guess the comments are normal. But it’s not like Briana and Ryan were 18 or barely knew each other. They’d known each other for over 2 years are in their mid-twenties. Tamra was probably on her second marriage by then! So, I don’t think Briana’s acting too rashly. Besides can you imagine what Vicki would be like it they’d gone the traditional route?
“Do you know how many hours I had to work for you to have this wedding?”
“Since I’m paying for it I think you should go with this food and this dress.”
“Do you know realize I have to take time off from work to go to your wedding?”
“You are a virgin aren’t you? If you’re not, don’t talk to me about s-p-e-r-m. Ewww.”
Can’t say I blame the girl one bit.
2muchbravo & whoochile, it was twatwaffle! I knew it was something like that, but I couldn’t remember…I guess if you thinkabout it, what ever is put infront of “waffle” it all means the same doesn’t it?! Yes, I just noticed I spelled coochwaffle wrong! oops
Exactly, those two, B & R are what 25 now, she just had a major surgery, thank the lord it was not cancer, and he had done 2 tours in the Desert. As for me, eh, I knew MR Z for 4 months…hey don’t judge me!! He was going to be deployed and he told me, “I am going to marry you when I get home, lets do it now!” so we did. That my friends was 8 yrs ago….well to get technical 8 in july
*sigh*…..I’m totally a chick who is all about having a real, go-all-out wedding, but I have to say that if vicki was my mom, I might just opt for elopement as well. Almost all moms get a bit psycho when their daughter is planning a wedding, and vicki is already a controlling lunatic in every day life, so “momzilla vicki” sounds like something i’d be willing to give up my dream wedding to avoid, just like bri did.
Vicki MASTERED the whole i’m-gonna-announce-my-daughters-elopement-while-pretending-to-sound-happy-but-too-overwhelmed-by-the-emotional-betrayel-of-it-all-to-hold-back-my-devastation-and-appear-convincing thing. Her announcement was nothing more than a way to get sympathy. I love briana, and she can do whatever her lil heart pleases, in my book. If your mom disposes of your awesome stepfather because things got rough for a min, then jumps right into a relationship with some poor, clingy, alchy, creepy tool, then your life decisions are no longer up for criticism by said mom. Case closed.
Deep down, Gretchen has no respect for Slade (not unlike the rest of the planet), therefore, she will NEVER marry him. I bet she has to get drunk as hell to fuck him. For real.
I’m obsessed with Heather and Terry. They are an awesome couple. I totally feel like she should get on my nerves, but she just doesn’t. Terry’s comment about smacking her around was hysterical, and EXACTLY the kind of thing my boyfriend and I would find funny, and maybe even a weird form of verbal affection.
Ryan and Micheal are both douche-bags, and have turned into exactly the kind of young men one could expect to come of being “raised” by an attention-starved mother whom they have zero respect for.
Lastly, Alexis will always be the dumbest, most un-appealing housewife in history, to me. Iv’e said it many times before……I have no problem with Jim, and don’t see him as the skeez that others do, simply cuz alexis is just THAT bad, that her awefulness over-shadows his character defects by a mile.
Rumor has it in OC, Brianna is four months pregnant. Dear Reality Show Gawds (aka) Miss Andy, please get that little revelation on camera. We will finally get to watch Vickie stroke out.
Congratulations, Grandma Vickie!!!!!
@ Tmurda – Where you been girl??? I miss your recaps and no one calls me a hooker anymore, lol!! Hope all is well, great to see you posting!
Re the first comment (I am totally missing the Reply button now, btw): I thought Vicki always said she hated small boobs. “Who wants small boobs? That’s gross,” is what I remember her saying when Tamra first said she was getting her implants out.
@featherhead- I missed ya’ll too, Hooker! Ive been busting my ass finishing Paramedic school. (Finished this past thurs, yay). 12-16hr shifts on the ambulance a few times a week…class from 9-5 wed…serving tables at night…ya know. AND caught up in new love, so I kinda fell off the face of the earth for a min. Thnx for asking! xoxo
@ Tmurda – awesome! Glad you’re back!
Bravo Tmurda!
@ caligal They’ll be doing the reunion sometime soon. Someone ought to submit a question to Miss Andy requesting a confirmation of Briana’s pregnancy from Grandma Vicki.
I love Brianna and her husband seems like a straight-up guy, but I think she and Vicki are co-dependent to an alarming degree. Running off and getting married feels to me like passive aggressively getting back at Vicki for what she’s doing with Brooks. Not that Vicki doesn’t deserve it, but it will be so sad if it turns out that Brianna sabotaged her own life just to get Vicki to notice her.
First, WHY has Vicky never answered why it doesn’t bother her that Brooks is a deadbeat Dad, in debt and broke? Can Andy Cohen just stop the show, just halt the show in its tracks and make Vicki answer that question, please?
Can everybody please bombard Andy Cohen with that question to Vicky??:
WHY has Vicky never answered why it doesn’t bother her that Brooks is a deadbeat Dad, in debt and broke?
VICKY: WHY have you never answered why it doesn’t bother you that Brooks is a deadbeat Dad, in debt and broke?
Remember a few season ago when Vicki went to that summer town to whoop it up she got into a pool with a look- a- like to her husband, who was hitting on her- was that Brooks? Was that the first Brooks spotting?
My Daily Affirmation: “I tell you this, A car with no gas will not get you far, but a car with gas will get you down the road and back
Ok, I know I shouldn’t do this but how excited is for Vicki and Brianna’s EPIC fight while Vicki is wearing a Skunk pelt?
I am!!!!!!!!!!
@Gypsy! So am I – so that thing is still a part of Vicki’s wardrobe?
Funny recap for a clusterfuck of passive aggressive fun in time for Mother’s Day! OMG, Vicki…short of wire hangers, you would give Joan Crawford a run for the money. You expect everyone to dance a happy dance, no questions asked, when you bring in ole conny Brooks around to smother everyone with his patented brand of southern fried gravy smarm, but everyone else needs your clearance to live their lives. Neither your son or your daughter are ready for this new relationship – short of locking them in a closet with Brooks for days, the bonding will have to wait. And Brianna stating what a lot of us are thinking is just icing on the truffle cake. And for the 400th time, IT IS NOT ALL ABOUT YOU, YA TWITCHY HEIFFA!!
I kinda liked the lunch with Gretchen and Tamra (OH, GOD! DON’T HATE ME!”
) only because it was one of the few times I felt a geniune sense of friendship. Two girls talking about an idea and about relationships and making sense. It was sweet.
Terry is funny – Heather should let him be, because he makes her human. He is my fav husband so far.
Alexis and Chimbo’s time on my screen was mercifully short.
Slade getting the 411 from Gretchen’s dad was fun to watch. No, you douche, not everything can be explained away as some media rumor. Especially when it is true.
I have to say Brooks is my new happy. When he comes on my screen, I flap my arms, squee, and wait to for the stupid that’s about to fly out. ‘Cause it’s always epic.
That being said, if I met him in person, I’d probably try to cut him.
Kudos to the RHOC! They’ve thrown off last year’s trend, the pocket gay, for an even more cutting edge accessory! The “pocket douche”! Nothing screams “I’m the boss” or “My tank is full” more than toting around a balding, chubby, financially emasculated man with child support issues. I think this is going to sweep America, people.
Alright I actually was creeped out when Brooks busted out an obnoxious laugh brining up to michael his sister’s eloping.
These women can’t pull of the fancy look cause they’re not. Tamara is my favorite this season though, i wish she and her boyfriend would get married soon so shes a housewife again. for some reason
it does make a difference to me. Vicky however is more interesting in the mist of this divorce, Brianne is rebelling! Brooks is a charector to watch out for. SO i s gretchen wasting her time with slade? seems she’s neverr gonna marry him. i agree withe everyone i put up with heather cause i like Terry! lol
So here’s the deal:
I cannot stress out over how creepy Brooks is – how transparently a grifter he is, what a slime ball, phony loser. Why? Because if he is what Vicki wants … *GOOD LUCK* with that! I hope she gets what she deserves! She is hell-bent on being with this guy, has blinders on. Why do I care how she’s used and abused down the road?! Go for it, Brooks! If she’s that stupid, then you’re the smart one and she’s ripe for the plucking.
Since I cannot stand the woman, I won’t be crying in my beer…

I was thinking the very same thing. So I went and downloaded the episode from iTunes and watched it several times, freeze-framing when the mug was on screen. Conclusion … no (frowny face). The guy has a different nose than Brooks – that’s what I’m pegging my decision on. Brooks has a “ski jump” while Vegas Dude had a down-turned shnozz. But that trip certainly showed how messy a drunk Vicki can be…
