By that point, had any productions been given their essential worker status to be back in production? I wonder if that's how they got around it?

The episode last night shows Shannon leaving her beau’s house because she’s now COVID positive. Her beau helped her pack. I swear I saw him doing the dance of joy as she drove away. 😉 As soon as Shanon gets home, she harangues her daughters about the condition off the house, the dog poop on the patio, the laundry everywhere. The daughters immediately flee to their rooms and grab their laptops so they can ignore Shannon. Quarantine with Shannon is the 7th level of Hell.
Back at Lake Arrowhead, the rest of the women inconsistently don masks. They don’t socially distance. They hug and blubber about their terrible pasts and sad current situations. Kelly Dodd gets a phone call that she may have been exposed, so she can’t go see her beloved Rick up in wine country this weekend. The other women also realize they’ve even around Shannon so they might have been exposed too. I was hoping that they all pack up and race to their cars to get home.
I feel for the production crew for these ladies. I am sure they were prodding the women to use the PPE, stay distant. Looks like Production was unsuccessful in getting that to happen.

I haven't watched last night's episode yet. But I have to wonder if Shannon pi$$ed Andy off....she's getting a really bad edit this year.

I think she’s always gotten a bad edit. That said, she’s genuine and honest about the neurotic whiny person she is, and being genuine on a show like this works. She annoys me, but because she’s so honest about her letdowns in life, I root for her.

But this year they are showing her really drunk, and comments from her daughter. I root for her too, it just seems like the show is "highlighting" her bad behavior?

I'll take Shannon, warts and all, over Braunwyn. My goodness that woman goes on and on..the way she thinks Sean should be there for her, while she works out everything, sex drinking etc.. she could show a little gratitude imho. I feel terrible, because I don't believe Elizabeth ,her story just sounds fake, and I recall her saying, she lied and spoke in tongues or something. Something seems very off to me They seem so stupid about wearing masks etc , especially Kelly. I'm glad they are finally realizing how serious it is. Shannon looked like she hasn't slept I worry for her, I know she has lung issues. Archie sighting! The girls should of picked up the dog poop.. Emily realizes she cant live without Shane or was it more, he's Mr mom and three children are exhausting her, all the time..lol

I give them a little benefit of the doubt on the masks given the timing. When they were filming we were all still figuring it out.
I agree with you that Brainwyn is severely lacking in the gratitude dept. she can make a long long list of the ways she was wronged but can’t seem to notice when people are there for her. I know people like that. They’re exhausting. But I have to say, I was really impressed with how she helped Elizabeth through her panic attack. It seemed like she’d been taken through that in the past. She knew what to do and did it well.

We didn't need to see or hear it, every step of the way of it.. Even then, my usual approach to a panic attack, as I suffer with them, is great empathy, I felt nothing. I do not know what it is with Elizabeth, that simply screams false!! Fake!!! The Church, The Cult..The Church Was shut down, But apparently is now open.. I get the same feeling, I did with the fake cancer story..( sorry)

When she broke down about being apart from her teenage girls, I thought it was OTT. But she seems authentic and that goes a long way!

Hard for me to judge anything that happened this year as OTT ....I know my mood fluctuated between anger, confusion, depression and joy all within half hour during March, April, May and June

Boy Sean, you need to run away, Braunwyn is now THE authority on everything alcohol, and really just wants to hang with her new, brave, fierce girlfriends, she's so self absorbed..ugh, i find her abusive So Elizabeth's brother validated her story, that's why he was on. Not a fun childhood.. Shannon, omg you helicopter parent. I like her honesty though, we all drank and ate during lockdown, I don't know why the others talk about it, they weren't in her house, and only know what their friend confided in them Jolie wants to be away from Kelly( the thing with the phones was hilarious ) as much as Sophie wants away from Shannon. Archie standing in the jacuzzi, he's too cute 🐾🐾🐾 Gina in her TH looks good,cut off those long cheap extensions, lost some weight, good on her.I missed seeing Shane..

I think it was a mistake that Braunwyn did not go away to a true rehab program that could have taken their family through recovery. Her self absorption is classic alcoholic behavior. I think most of the struggles they are facing right now are the struggle of figuring out how to change the co-dependent relationship that has been her marriage all these years. I think that thanks to AA Braunwyn understands this - but she doesn't have the tools to really change it. And Sean needs guidance in understanding how to change his behavior as well in order to make things work moving forward. To me, what they are doing right now is kind of like taking yoga based on TV videos when you've never taken classes in person - they're putting themselves in the poses, but without their feet turned exactly right, weight distributed as intended they are merely poses and not doing anything of consequence for themselves.

I could not finish last night’s show. The series should be called Women of the OC Who Need the Most Therapy. It was a pissing contest to see who was the most screwed up. Braunwyn, who has a multitude of issues, refuses to do the right thing for her marriage and family. Elizabeth talks with a therapist about her messed up childhood and her ability to pretend it never happened. Kelly and Rick (icky goosebumps) share their wedding plan discussions. Neither one is new to the marriage go round, so seeing them act all in love is just eye roll worthy. Shannon seems to have survived COVID pretty quick and she’s back to her old ways. Because I did not watch the whole thing, I didn’t get to find out if John decided to cut his losses.

I heard Braunwyn won't be back. I'd cheer, but I don't know if it's true. So she split with her perfect soulmate number 2, Shari..hmm. Kelly was very belligerent last night, the only thing I liked about her, was her dress. I had a blouse very similar yesrs ago, but her dress was perfect for the beachfront. I loved seeing Sophie in 2014 up to 2020.She really loves Shannon.
I'm glad Elizabeth and Sean are seeing therapists.
Shane walking toward them on the beach, looked so tired. Plus he had to remind Emily in her toast, he beat covid. I do like Gina and Travis, Shane and Emily and Shannon and John. I understand Shannon feelings regarding John, but he looks pretty steady to me. Reunion next week. I hope Tamra isn't coming back

Braunwyn is a very selfish and unstable woman. Her husband should start dating other people since they both love having an open marriage...? Or if he doesn’t want that life anymore he should move on. I could never be with someone that only thinks about their needs and no one else’s.
I really hope Kelly’s marriage survives. That woman has no filter! And a mean drunk.
I don’t care for Shannon..never have. But let’s hope she is really happy in that relationship. But it makes me wonder when she “drunk calls” her friends and says things are so bad and the kids don’t like him. So, who knows what’s the truth there. I love Archie! Such a beautiful pooch!
Sorry couldn’t help but laugh when Emily fell out of the chair! She was a good sport about it! Lol. I’m glad her husband is better now.
I hope Elizabeth continues to see a therapist about her past traumas.

I cannot stand Braunwyn, did she really say she could get cocaine for a 14 year old.? What look was she going for, aging Madonna. She needs to be off OC, she's exhausted all her storylines, plus, she looks terrible Kelly is obnoxious when it comes to covid, I'd stay well away from her during the pandemic, she's still not taking this seriously imho. I didn't like Shannon's dress, way way too short, or Emily's that slit up to her crotch was too much, they might look good standing, sitting, no!. Emily looked good, Gina looked very good, hair and dress. I wish we'd seen this Elizabeth on the show( worst lesbian ever to Braunwyn) Bring back Heather Dubrow, lol. I liked her and her house porn.i suspect we'll end up with Tamra.

YES on Heather Dubrow!!!! I was talking to a friend today about missing her! After watching the first part of the reunion, I think I've concluded that I'd perfer to see the entire cast overhauled for the next season - don't bring back a single one of them! There really are not any women in the group who seem to like each other, and while I don't say this to cut any of them down, their lives are rather ordinary. This show started being all about us having a chance to see life "behind the gates". Now, we've got a group of women who live in houses that are in fantastic locations, but for the most part are ordinary houses which they rent while they flip out about getting their alimony in order to get by. I watch Housewives to see homes and lives to dream about - not to watch the kind of women I'd hang out with at book club (not taking anything away from my book club friends - I love them - but I go hang out with them when I want that - I want to see something else on my TV!)
I'm ready for them to replace the entire crew with new women. Bring bach Heather, and build the show around other women like her. I want to see 12 different options for the shape of ice cubes and porte cocheres! Elizabeth can claim all she wants that she's the richest woman in Orange County - but she's not spending that money on a lifestyle I want to watch!

Yes! Definitely bring back Heather. Then we would get to see more of Terry!
I like Shannon. But without Vicki and Tamra she just became whiny and annoying instead of fun. I realize the pandemic had a part in that too.
The rest can go. Especially Kelly and Braunwyn.
Was this season shorter than normal?

It seemed shorter, which would make sense. With Dallas and Atlanta, they started filming after they had figured out how to deal with protocols (and Georgia and Texas being more open probably helped). I think with OC, they were totally thrown for a loop and didn't know how to save it!

Yeah, but I don't understand the caption. In other words, is Kelly obnoxious? Yes. The other thing based on what she said? No. I'm so tired of 2021 and we just started. Ugh.

Kelly, I'm black, I have black friends, I go to gay pride, she doesn't get it.I did agree, buildings and businesses being burnt down, was very upsetting, she had a point , she couldn't make. Braunwyn and her dysfunctional life, bore me to tears. If she's on next season, I'm not tuning in. Sean needs to grow a set, and move on with his life, what he has now, are crumbs. The editing between Braunwyn and Shannon was obvious, Shannon would of said much more about the cocaine, and probably did. Can't show Brauny in a bad light.. Elizabeth adds more to her story, she pops up with, I'm Bi. Okay, sure you are..sure you are, a non practicing bi sexual..next.
I was falling asleep toward the end, so I've no idea why happy Gina was crying , she was happy, move on. They need to get rid of them all, and start again.

That video above of Kelly is so gross. From what she says to her tongue to the fact no one is wearing masks. You can spot someone who is uncomfortable about their feelings of POC or LGBTQ by them saying things like "I have black friends" and "all my friends are gay" - I found her statements so removed and off. I'm really hoping that reunion was the last straw for Andy. She needs to go.
I appreciated Shannon's stance ..."there was a time when people didn't talk about politics and their views and I'm not going to start at age ___" ( I forget her age lol). While I'm pretty sure I know what that means...I can respect it.
Brauwyn needs a whole mountain of help. And Sean needs to leave her. I can not imagine hearing my husband (or wife in this case) say that he was never attracted to me. She doesn't want him....she wants the money, she wants the home, she wants the help with the kids, she wants her cushy lifestyle, she wants the co-dependency he provides. It was hard to watch. Get out Sean!

This show has really jumped the shark. I sat there watching part 2 and kept thinking, I don't relate to any of these women ... not a one. Why am I even watching this?
