Totally. Every RW franchise has some long timers, love them or hate them. Without both V and T, it will be strange. If Shannon stays, it will be interesting to see her without Tamra and Vicki. I wonder if Bravo is setting up a Shannon vs. Kelly battle for the next season. I don't know if I would enjoy that. Without Tamra and Vicki, will there be much conflict between Kelly and Shannon? I may very well be revising situations in my mind, but wasn't a lot of the conflict between those two recently centered around Shannon being mad at Kelly on behalf of the other two? I know that Kelly did the gonging of the head to Shannon - but at that point wasn't she annoyed at Shannon for taking Vicki's side more so than for anything that Shannon did?

I'm not sure how Bravo will set up the teams for the couches at the reunions.

I feel like Kelly's life is getting messy enough now that she's engaged and seems to be blowing off a great deal of her life for Rick that I would kind of like her to not return. It's rarely enjoyable to watch when any woman will give up all aspects of her life for a man.

I know that Kelly did the gonging of the head to Shannon - but at that point wasn't she annoyed at Shannon for taking Vicki's side more so than for anything that Shannon did? Shannon holds Kelly partially responsible for being forced to spend $250,000 in legal fees defending herself against a frivolous lawsuit launched by Jim Bellino. Kelly had decided to get back at Tamra (for reasons unbeknownst to me) and reached out to Bellino to assist him in filing lawsuits against Tamra (and also Shannon). That's why I'm surprised that TPTB chose to not bring Vicki back full time for she would have bridged Kelly's relationship between Shannon and Tamra. Obviously, production decided to go in a different direction, but how will Shannon's contention that Kelly is partially responsible for her loss of a quarter of a million dollars be resolved? Also, has Shannon been demoted, too? Has Shannon's status in anyway been hinged upon Tamra's continued participation and does Tamra's decision to no longer follow Shannon have anything to do with any of this? Unlike Vicki and Tamra, Shannon probably needs her Housewife salary to make ends meet and the income she derives from QVC and other products she's endorsing are directly hinged upon her continual participation with RHOC. Yes, her parents are supposedly loaded, but she barely received anything of real substance from her divorce settlement with David. pagesix.com/2019/12/24/rhoc-star-shannon-beador-ive-spent-250k-on-jim-bellino-lawsuit/people.com/tv/rhoc-tamra-judge-defamation-lawsuit-cost/

Vicki's screaming, screaming very loudly is was what finished her off. She looked and acted unhinged.

I’d forgotten that Shannon was tied in with all the lawsuit mess.

Without Vicki facilitating a relationship between Shannon and Kelly, I just don't see how it works especially now that Tamra is gone. Who is there for Shannon? I'll probably stop watching Orange County like I stopped watching New Jersey. Kelly is way too over the top for my taste and Braunwyn Windham-Burke's life is about as real as Lynn Curtin's. Oh, I had that same thought about Braunwyn - not so real, and with that wonky freak mother and such a desire to exploit her sex life. Ugh. Just read Meghan's description of Vicki conniving with Brooks Ayers to spread his cancer lie so that the two of them could promote the juice product Vicki was selling at the time -- so they could say it cured Ayers' cancer. I believe Vicki knew the cancer lie from the beginning, and may even have concocted the lie herself. She's such a slug, and so very dishonest. I see she's now pushing the "Secure Act" online - a new law that ultimately will suck money from an individual's retirement account while making the seller, i.e. someone like Vicki, rich. She's a slimy one. I'll miss Tamra - always thought she was a disadvantaged kid from a broken home, who never knew quite how to handle herself, didn't get a decent education, came up the hard way, cheating and grifting and scrabbling her way to what she defined as "riches". Maybe she'll settle down now to a better life. She was made worse by the constant attention and cameras. Hope Shannon stays.

The hideous ones like Vicki and the Dodd woman are what brings viewers and ratings. But, oh, that Dodd woman is a hideous piece. Glad to see Vicki's gone and that she's mad as hell - she deserves that.

I'm wondering why anybody can care a whit about any of these vacuous women. There is important crap going on in this country and the world and these twits haven't a clue, much less a discussion outside of their own meaningless lives. But, I may be a cynic. So, there's that.

I guess some us like to take time out, to get the crap out of our heads for awhile. I can't bother with CNN, the royals and an epidemic 24/ 7, it makes one too unhappy imho.. but rest assured, I'm up to date in most things going on in our countries.

I agree with those who said we need an escape. These forums are about an escape from the harsh realities of daily life. These ladies can be annoying, but they aren't scary like the news can be.

Tamra and Andy Instagram Live Tea
I watched this live the other day and enjoyed it. Unlike other housewives that are fired and never admit it, she was honest and real. I've always enjoyed the negatives and positives of Tamra. She's fun and always brought good Real Housewives entertainment.

Looks like Shannon and Kelly return for season 15. "Orange County has seen enough change — for now. Emily Simpson, Shannon Beador, Gina Kirschenheiter, Kelly Dodd and Braunwyn Windham-Burke have all been asked back for season 15, a source exclusively confirms to Us Weekly."www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/kelly-shannon-and-more-asked-back-for-rhoc-season-15/(Can't help but wonder if Shannon's recent social media posts about Kobe Bryant had to do with the decision to have her return. Although she still has a story to tell, I don't see how she still fits in.)

I think that Shannon fits in very well considering what some of the other women are going through. Last season, we saw the start of a bond between Shannon and Gina since Gina is going through much of the same stuff Shannon did with the end of her marriage. While there is a lot of conflict with Kelly, there's also a lot in common, and I think both women understand that they are better off to bury the hatchet and help each other out on the show. She's also got a lot of new stuff happening in her life. Since they wrapped last season she's got into a serious relationship with John, and from what she's said in interviews they've been doing a lot to blend their two families. So as long as he's willing to be on the show, that's a compelling storyline. I think that Shannon can be a chameleon in that she can adjust to fit in a lot of different situations. In addition to that, she's more forgiving than Vicki or Tamra will ever be. Also, if rumors are true and Megan returns in any capacity, Shannon will be an important conduit to helping her back into the group.

I like Shannon, in small doses. Especially without Tamra or Vicki. I can't say the same about Gina, and Emily has a very different side to her, after seeing what her DH had to say.I wonder what the new ladies will be like. I just hope they don't gave an affair with Brandi..

I’m glad Shannon is back, and I think she’s got a great story to tell. I look forward to getting to know her man. Having only seen pics so far, it will be nice to see a loving, breathing John. Lol
I’m convinced 95% of crazy Shannon was a result of David. She just misdirected all her hurt towards everyone else. Good riddance to him. Hopefully he gets married and goes into hiding. Yuck.

While he may have just finalized the divorce 9 months ago, he started dating her long before he ended his marriage. So Technically it's a much longer courtship!

She can move on from that jerk, especially with the new guy in her life, I hope we get to see him No, no, no, no, no. I didn't say nor meant to say Kobe' death is or could be Shannon's story line. In reference to Kobe, I was reflecting upon Shannon suddenly becoming relevant on social media while Bravo was in the process of contemplating continuing with Shannon, given Vicki, and probably Tamra, who both quit, could have easily helped bridged her broken relationship with Kelly which, at this point, is the only story line concerning Shannon that I can think of and of which I have referenced in detail of recent. Anyway, Shannon now she has David's upcoming marriage and anticipated new family (for the finance wants children of her own) to rage about. Perhaps, also, her current new boyfriend will agree to film.
