Alexis is busy with her Reality career. She's just finishing a stint on Reality Marriage Bootcamp; Family Edition. She appeared with her mother and seemed to have few real problems with each other. It's just a paycheck.

The one highlight of the show for me was Emily finding the doll in Gina's garage, holding it up and saying it was Emily and Shane. That made me laugh..! What about the wedding photo of him on his tip-toes?! LOL

Ah Alexis and her pet name ''Jesus Jugs''.....she was so dense.
Emily needs to ditch Shane...his reaction to her needing surgery was sad...there was no reaction.
Tamra is a sloppy drunk...she should take Eddie's advice. LOL at her hanging out in the bush!

Tamra is a sloppy drunk...she should take Eddie's advice. LOL at her hanging out in the bush! There are a couple of men in my family who are similar to Shane in the empathy department. Their reaction in a crisis is to apply logic and find a solution rather than to feel or show any feelings. At times, it's tough, but at times it's also helpful to have someone steady like that. I get the feeling that Emily accepts that Shane is who he is, and most of the time doesn't expect him to be anyone else. That said, I think that it weighs on their relationship now to have the world watching what they do, and comment on what is and is not okay. It adds pressure because now she's not just accepting who he is, but having to justify it to others. There's been talk about how being on a show like this can put a lot of strain on a marriage. I think they are vulnerable not so much by who they are, but by trying to live up to commentary on who they should be. Long term, I think Emily will regret doing the show sadly.

Lots of thoughts on Vicki... I know Vicki being demoted is blow to these Housewives ego and the only other person to agree to stay was Luann. Luann held her head up and humbled herself (temporaily of course) and ended up having her best season and was brought back full time and has been the center of the show ever since. But she continued her feud with Kelly, mean girled Braunwyn, hated fun, didn't build stronger relatonships with Emily/Gina and then sued her bosses aka Bravo and Kelly. Bravo should have given her a season off to attempt to get the viewers to miss her cause now they seem to hate her more than ever. Ramona and Vicki's diva antics are pure entertainment for me so watching the narcissism at an all time high on the Reunion was hilarious and sad. She looks like a loser running around complaning and trying to call the shots and still calling it her show. All I kept thinking was Dwight from RHOA "Fashion show with no fashions. How dreadful." Vicki will go down in history as one of the best housewives of all time but I think it's time to split these tres amigas up for good if this show has any chance of survival.

I think Vicki, and her BS about it being her show, was ridiculous. Please. The demise of this show, was due to her cancer lies, with Brooks. Shannon is better when she isn't around Tamra, or Vicki, they bring out the very worst in her. I'm so bored with Gina and Emily. Kelly imho, is lashing out, from a place of hurt. She's all front and big hurtful mouth, but she has a lot of friends ,that really seem to like her. She'd be good with NY because she knows Dorinda and Ramona.. I thought Braunwyn looked very pretty last night. I'd remove most of this cast, and Tamra should leave with Vicki, not even friends of..

I feel like the show needs an entire overhaul of housewives to survive.

I didn't watch all of the first part of the reunion yet - only the very beginning. But from what I saw and what I've heard of Vicki's behavior, I think it's time for the show to just be done with her all together. Her relevance with the show started to dwindle a couple of years ago - she's become a caricature of herself. They could have gotten rid of her before now, but kept her around for tradition. If she's not going to appreciate that, she can go and won't be missed. They need to find some women for the show that have more interesting things going on in their lives than just fighting with each other. I'm okay with Shannon sticking around - it was fun this year to see her start dating again and have fun with it, and I think if things keep going the direction they are with her new man, she's got some stories to tell there - especially if they choose to allow any sort of interaction on camera with her kids and his kids who Shannon says are growing close. It's probably an unpopular opinion, but I'm okay with Tamra staying. When there are things going on in her life, such as Eddie's heart issues last year, she's compelling. Kelly can go - she's too aware of performing for the camera, and is not connected to anyone else on the show enough to justify being around. Between Gina and Emily -- I'd be fine with both of them going, but would also be okay if one stayed. Emily could be interesting if she ever decided to do something about her challenges with Shane instead of just acting like a victim. Same with Gina - if she took a page out of Shannon's book in becoming empowered and independent, she could be interesting. I know there's been talk of it, and I think I'd like to see Megan come back. She's got some stories to tell, and I like her brand of s-stirring more than Tamra's.

Ow the reunion puts everyone in a bad light. They don’t know their boasts make them look even worse than they are? Everyone is getting sued. Bravo needs to shut this series down.

Yes, it is Alexis's ex husband Jim Bellino. He sued Heather McDonald, Shannon, and Tamra. Kelly contacted Jim offering to be subpoenaed as a character witness in his case. His case against Shannon was dismissed in June and he was ordered to pay her $138,000 of the $220,000 she sought for her legal fees. Heather and Tamra are still fighting for dismissal. So I guess they are mad at Kelly over this because they don't want Jim to sue them for going after him. That is a lot of money, but it doesn't seem like Kelly created this situation.

I read somewhere that Kelly agreed to a deposition in Jim’s favor. If that’s true, I can sort of see why they’d be upset. That’s definitely going above and beyond a supportive tweet to Jim (who is a complete ******bag, btw.)
I’m so glad they producers decided to show Vickie’s ridiculous, delusional behavior at the reunion. She was even giving it to Andy (who is also obviously a producer) right before they went ‘live’ and then turned on the smile on cue. I really hope they get rid of her and Kelly for good. Kelly may try and excuse her nasty behavior as defense for them always coming after her, but I don’t forget she’s been like that from the get go. Tamra even said a few weeks ago that Heather Dubrow left and won’t come back because she won’t film with Kelly. I’d much rather see Fancy Pants and all her pretentiousness.

I would be fine if Vicki, Kelly, and Tamra left the show. It would be interesting to see how Shannon would act without someone guiding her. She seems to follow Tamra. I like Shannon depending on the season and how unhappy she is.

Interesting reunion part 2 so far.
It's understandable that Bravo is rushing to end the reunions.
IMO, this will be Kelly's last season. She's too toxic (and phony, too, in a Brandi Glanville kinda way). Vicki might be gone, too, unless production feels they're able to continue with Vicki once Kelly is gone.

Just watched the epi where Kelly Dodd shouts to Shannon that her hair is too long and she’s too old. Kelly blurts any mean thing that enters her tiny mind. She’s a vulgar and cruel woman, so belligerent, so utterly without decency. Hard to see why Bravo keeps her.... she brings nothing but filth to the show.

Yeah, after tonight’s part 2, I find it hard to defend anything about Kelly’s behavior. She’s a horrible, nasty person, and has been from the beginning. And for Kelly to accuse Shannon of defending her behavior with ‘well, so and so did/said this to me’.....LOLOLOLOL Kelly is the QUEEN of that. Gina was spot on about Kelly and Vicki’s back and forth being a vicious cycle. I hope they both go, especially after seeing in the preview that Vicki has yet another hissy fit backstage. She’s a piece of work.

Vicki really is delusional, I love how jealous she is of Braunwyn. She calls her out , but not Tamra, she's such a nasty hypocrite. Kelly is toxic, she needs some deep therapy, and not one day on the friggin beach. I forgot Gina was there she brings nothing to the reunion, just like last week, she's boring. Emily, meh, she should take her nasty husband and leave. I doubt Brian told Kelly what type of surgery Shannon had, if he did, he's in big trouble.
