If Vicki bought it, I think she would have said she bought it ... repeatedly. She's always held extravagant purchases over the head of the recipient.

Shannon discovering what she could do was very fun to see. I'm glad Tamra was there for her and was able to push her away from negative thoughts about herself! I think that Gina got out to California, started looking around at lives that seemed cool and started convincing herself she wanted all that. That seemed evident when she was talking about seeing women drop their kids off at the grandparents to go to Target. What she doesn't seem to have figured out is that as image conscience as the area she's now in is, she's wishing for something that isn't real. I think the women are right to encourage her not to throw her marriage away just because she's wishing for a different life. But the way they are going about it is all wrong because they are making it about themselves instead of Gina's life. Shannon did great at her first sales gig- she's natural and "down to earth" in a way that probably connects with buyers. Her daughter - Sophie? - has become a beautiful young lady, heavily highlighted hair and those blue eyes- and seemingly a very nice personality. Shannon's done some things right! Gina has a huge wake up coming. It looks like she doesn't yet know about her husbands multiple affairs or his new girlfriend. Nope, I know nothing about them - but it's so very clear. I feel sorry for her.... and I think the other HW women should STFU about Gina's marriage/divorce. She will be divorced, have money problems and child rearing problems, but I'm guessing zero child custody issues. Icky on the motorcycle- what a jerk she is, screeching and yelling going down the road. Just stay off the bike you dumb horse of a woman. Sorry horses, but that's what she looks like. Her love tank Steve is so clearly using her for.... I dunno... fame, money, kicks, finding other women. So obvious that he can take her or leave her.

Gina is growing on me..her parents seem very down to earth..which I liked to see.
Emily's inlaws must be loaded..their house is huge..love their backyard setting!
Anyone know if Shannon is doing well with her business venture..?
Vicki...being annoying as usual..

So Shannon is in the kitchen, helping or making meals, Gina sits down, Shannon asks if she'd like more tequila, what more does Gina want? She seems very needy, and Shannon is right, she doesn't have anything in common with her,. I hope every episode isn't going to be step by step about Gina's divorce, it's obvious she's still in love, but she also doesn't want any advice..so what then? Kelly taking Jolie to help feed the homeless is the best thing for her. I took my two one Christmas to help serve Turkey, they have never forgotten that Christmas.. Wth is Kelly doing with Michael, that's odd.( given all she has said about him) .I hope she's doing it for her daughter, not because Michael sees other women.. How many children does Emily have? She's not home all day with them..they have to be on the same page.. Vicki with the grown children, she's embarrassing... Crickets! Jamaica, yeah man. We love it there.. We want to go again ( soon ) ..

I really love Jolie. And I appreciate Kelly for taking her to feed the homeless. I actually understand Shannon keeping her distance from Gina. First off....Gina hasn't exactly been warm and fuzzy to Shannon either. But also...it takes me awhile to open up around people and trust them. I guess I've become a bit guarded over the years. It happens when you trust people and they break it. So what if they aren't best friends. Plus...this was a night for everyone to celebrate Shannon. And Shannon had already TRIED to be understanding about Gina's divorce ...and she said it was going to be great and they were going to be best friends Not a big fan of Gina.

I think they dropped the ball once again with casting. Maybe if Gina was in a better place she would be a good addition to the cast. She does seem to have a fun side. Very bad timing which probably means she kept the state of her marriage a secret when they hired her. I don't dislike Emily but she adds nothing. Hopefully the group trip spices up the season. OC was really at it's best when Heather, Alexis, and Gretchen were there.

I enjoyed the scene with Kelly and her daughter..very touching on how emotional Jolie got.
Emily's husband does not want another kid...she should just accept it. He doesn't look like he will/want to change his mind..
I still like Gina..
Vicki really has no filter..

Emily says she has had 6 miscarriages. I've had a few as well. I can understand how hard it would be for her to "destroy" those eggs or sell them or donate. She looks at them as her babies. And they are...
I also understand her husband not wanting to have another child. It's going to be very emotional for her.
I love that she is so close to her MIL.

Me too. Lots of people were glad she left, I wasn't one of them I feel for Emily, my daughter in law went though a lot to finally have my precious granddaughter. I wish she'd be happy with the children she has...

To me, Heathers pretentious nature is what made her so good on the show. She was that to a T but she owned it. It’s odd to say this way but she was so genuine about her fake image that I really liked her.

Hubby and I went down the Martha Brae on our honeymoon. Those drinks they give you, rum and punch, lots of rum, lots of punch! I asked if I could steer that raft and he let me..we went back 13 years later, the water was filthy, the bathrooms were filthy, and they charged for everything... I wouldn't go in that water now, but it's very calming to just sit and be quiet. I wish the four twits would sthu about Shannon..leave her be. She's friendly enough, she's not all over you like a rash..Kellys rash..lol.
Gina talking about being calm through divorce was negative Nelly last week..I still don't understand her living arrangements, I thought he had his own place. Like Shannon, I wouldn't say anything, Tamra and Gina will throw that in your face!
It looks like Vicki is allergic to alcohol, it happens, she sure was puffy.. Is there ever a scene where Tamra doesn't show her boobs..she's seeking attention all the time. Now I want to go back to Jamaica, the people are lovely..sitting at that bar is lovely..sigh.

It's probably a mix of alcohol, dehydration and the heat. I can't take heat especially that high of humidity. I either have to be in air conditioning or in water or else I will faint.

Shannon certainly does always find the negative in any situation. It's who she is, and I think it many cases if you know a person is like that, it can be tolerable. Where I think she goes too far is when she starts expecting everyone else to adhere to her negative outlook. If she doesn't want to swing on the rope swing - fine. When she finds fault in others for doing it, not fine. She wants to avoid mosquitoes because she's fearing disease - fine. She expects Vicki and Tamra to be totally uncomfortable to the point of pouring water on themselves to accommodate her fears - not fine. There are some times I think that Shannon has the self awareness to know she's bringing a negative spin and she keeps herself in check. There are other times where she works way too hard to bring others down with her and I can see how that gets exhausting. I think it's unfortunate that even when Tamra has fairly communicated to her about how hurt she's been by Shannon not doing more to support her through Eddie's medical challenges, Shannon clearly can't keep herself in check enough to see that she's guilty of it. It's not a surprise that it's gnawing at Tamra more and more and causing a real divide between them.

The way she was so uninterested in Gina's convo is so telling...the attention was not on her so she didn't even give her two cents.

I'll defend Shannon a bit on that one. The way that Gina has reacted to the women chiming in on her life discourages the women to listen to her. She wants to talk about her life and wants to talk about her divorce, but doesn't want any feedback at all. For a woman going who has divorce so fresh in her own experience, it would be hard to respect that boundary. So if Gina has made it clear that she doesn't want feedback, and Shannon doesn't know if she can keep her mouth shut, the best thing to do is to stay out of it completely. I like Gina but I think she wants it both ways a lot of the time.

But she was laughing her head off with Vicki and with Kelly..just because Gina and Emily want to create some drama, I'm glad they showed Shannon laughing( a lot!)

I think Tamra is a real sh** disturber, she wants too much facetime..Kelly is way more laid back and much more of a friend to Shannon than Tamra will ever be. I'm liking Shannon and Vicki laughing ( Shannon is nearer to Vicki's age), being able to laugh at everything..Tamra saying Shannon would stay with Emily and Gina was cruel, I'd of told her where to go! When did she find fault when they swung on the rope..the water is filthy, a few acknowledged that, even Kelly didn't want to go in..because she has her first rash you know (those three were hilarious) I only saw Vicki pour water on herslf when she got all red and puffy

It's their job. Criticizing that seems to me like criticizing LeBron James for wanting playing time. Tamra can be a s-stirrer, but I think she does it A LOT less than she used to. I didn't see her talking to Gina and Emily as trying to turn them against Shannon. I think that Tamra is going through a lot this season, and trying not to let it drag her down. In addition to Eddie's heart issues, she also had Ryan going through his split, and the changes that had on her being with her granddaughter ... and the on-going saga with her daughter. Tamra has learned that everything her family goes through can't be brought to TV, so she's avoiding talking about it, but that doesn't mean she's not feeling it. And I"m sorry but I have to say she's right - Shannon is NOT there for her in the same ways that Tamra has been there for her. Shannon continues to try to excuse everything bad she does by saying she's going through a lot. Well Tamra is too - and getting nothing from Shannon for it. I think she's very hurt by it, and trying not to air it all out in a nasty way. It does not surprise me that Shannon and Vicki get along so well, because both are so self involved that they won't notice the other isn't really supportive. And I'd agree with you that Kelly is more laid back and supportive of Shannon now - but she was NOT that way last year! I think that the bond between Kelly and Shannon grows from going through divorces at the same time, and I think that it's temporary. As Kelly moves forward and sees Shannon is lagging behind, I think she's going to get impatient and things will go back to what they had been between the two. I saw glimmers of that when Kelly started telling her last night that if her girls are so thrown by not living in luxury that they should do some volunteering to get perspective.
