Things may not be looking so good for fans of Stiles after tonight's Teen Wolf premiere, but fear not! In this season six super tease, exclusive to E! News, Stiles (Dylan O'Brien)...The end of an era is upon us. Teen Wolf's final season debuts tonight, and it's something a little different from what we're used to. As the promos have revealed, the...
Only six players remain in the Big Brother Over the Top house. We are ownly two weeks away from crowning someone the Big Brother Over the Top champion title. The final six are so close, yet so far from their dreams of winning $250,000.
Only three more players need to leave the Big Brother Over the Top house before we make it to the final three. Due to being so close to the finals, every move counts, every actions have consequences, every competition is critical, and every deal is important. Our final six players want the title so much that being one of the final three evicted can feel like a crushing defeat.
This week, Shelby Stockton holds all the Big Brother Over the Top power. Not only did she win the BBOTT head of household competition, but also the power of veto. On Monday, America nominated Shelby’s closest ally, Morgan Willett, for eviction.
Justin Duncan and had agreed to vote Danielle Lickey out over Morgan. However, Kryssie wasn’t so sure about giving Morgan or Shelby anything they wanted game wise.
Justin, however, really wanted to get Danielle out this week. After a long individual competition, Shelby won the veto, and of course planned to use the veto on Morgan.
During the veto ceremony, everyone took the inevitable lightheartedly. Danielle and Jason joked about this being a hard situation for Shelby. Danielle also screamed ‘nooooo (jokingly)’ when Shelby used the veto on Morgan.
Jason joked about Jelby not being real. Morgan responded by saying ‘It’s Melby now.’
Tomorrow, either Jason or Danielle will leave the Big Brother Over the Top house, one week shy of the final five.

Bringing your boyfriend to Thanksgiving dinner for the very first time is already a difficult situation--how will he interact with your family? Will your drunk aunt/uncle say something so...
No one saw the truce between Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga coming. They absolutely hated each for many seasons of Real Housewives of New Jersey, but now they seem to be a solid united front. A lot of people (mainly Jacqueline Laurita) have questioned the authenticity of their alliance, but the sisters-in-law have been insistent that their relationship is genuine and strong.
This was very clear during the reunion since the two sat on the same couch and went to bat for each other against Jacqueline. The reunion ended with the whole cast engaging in a group hug after a promise to be peaceful in the future. It seems far-fetched that a show centered around controversy between women will actually have women who are moving forward on peaceful terms, but Melissa seems very committed to that – at least when it comes to her relationship with Teresa. Her relationship with Jacqueline is a whole other story.

Melissa opened up about the final reunion episode in her latest Bravo blog. To be honest, the reunion wasn’t as epic as Teresa teased, but I was entertained by the feud between the sisters-in-law with Jacqueline. I also thought it was kind of odd that Joe Gorga was on the couch for pretty much the entire show, but it did provide some much needed comic relief.
Aside from saying some weird and hilarious stuff (i.e. when he talked about losing his virginity AT AGE 9), Joe actually had one serious moment when he opened up about the stress of feuding with family members. Melissa backed up her husband’s sentiments when she wrote, “Joe didn’t say too much at the reunion, but the few words he did say hit home for me. It’s true, it hurts your heart when it’s family. When you fight with family it affects so many other people, not just who you are in the argument with. I’m not saying I don’t get disappointed or upset when I argue with my friends, but there is a difference.”
Well, I do not know if I would consider screaming on a reality TV show to be an argument between friends, it’s probably more of a coworkers dispute, but I get what she is saying.
RELATED: Kim D Accuses Melissa & Teresa Of Trying To Sabotage Her
Melissa also touched on her reconciliation with her sister-in-law: “I agreed to forgive and move forward with Teresa. When I did that, it wasn’t only for me, it was for my husband, my children, and my in-laws. It’s unfortunate that I felt a lot of pressure from others to go against that promise, but I refuse to keep rehashing the past, and I am not going to break that promise for anyone.”
I didn’t believe it when Teresa and Melissa promised to have each other’s backs no matter, but they have not faltered one bit in this promise so far, so I actually can see this being a permanent alliance. Poor Jacqueline though. This will not play out in her favor, that’s for sure.
As for that group hug at the end with all of the ladies, I was not buying that for a second. And to be honest, why would I want peace between ALL of the cast members next season? What kind of show would that be? The kind I stop tuning in to watch. Melissa wrote, “At the end of the reunion, we all made a promise to move forward in peace.” And with Melissa and Teresa being adamantly “done” with Jacqueline and the rumors of Danielle Staub‘s return, I’m really not holding my breath for that one.

It looks like lovebirds Kate and Toby are due to hit another bump in the road, This Is Us fans. In this sneak peek of tonight's all-new episode, exclusive to E! News, the couple show...The last Real Housewives of New York season was such a hot mess, I felt like I had withdrawal symptoms when it all ended. I really miss my NYC ladies… well, some of them.
Although she’s super polarizing, I can’t help wondering what Ramona Singer has been up to these days, especially since the next season is currently filming. In not so shocking news, Ramona reportedly got kicked out of a private party. Also, in a little bit surprising news, it seems like the Ramonacoaster just threw some shade at her ex Mario Singer.

You never know which Ramona you’re going to get. This past season she prided herself on being a peacemaker, but at other times, she was a total shit stirrer. Sometimes Ramona is criticizing the other Housewives for turning up too hard and other times she’s the life of the party. So it is not shocking to hear that she got tossed out of a private event. It’s Ramona, anything can happen.
According to a report from Fox News, the Ramonacoaster was derailed when she was “asked to leave a dinner at Philippe.” Apparently, it was an invite only event, and she crashed with a “male pal.” The man reportedly tried to earn his spot at the event by throwing money around, but there was an open bar so that was a fruitless move there.
A “spy” told Fox News, “He thought it was a bottle-service situation. He kept saying, ‘We can buy nine tables!’ They didn’t realize it was an invite-only seated dinner.”
Awkward. Maybe they didn’t know? It sounds hilarious to me though and I hope that the Bravo cameras were rolling during the incident.
RELATED: Ramona Singer And Vicki Gunvalson Talk Being Single
Ramona is always causing trouble and a lot of the time it doesn’t even seem intentional, so her offending someone at a social event is just par for the course and I always enjoy watching it. In contrast, she’s actually been pretty dignified in the wake of her messy split from Mario – even though he was a total POS for cheating on her in such a public manner. She has been mum about all the drama, which I assume is out of consideration to their daughter, but I can’t help wondering if she meant to throw shade with one her most recent Instagram posts.
Recently, the reality star tweeted, “#kitchen renovation. So excited.” This is not super exciting to me since the Real Housewives plot lines that center around home construction, real estate, decorating, or anything in that vein are usually way to drawn out and yawn-worthy to me.
But this renovation does get a little bit interesting if you jump from Twitter to Instagram. She also posted the photo above of herself with the caption, “My new Mario of Bathwearhouse in Linden NJ. So excited for my new kitchen.” I could not help laughing. I’m assuming this is some innocent guy who happens to have the same name as her ex husband, but I couldn’t help wondering if she was throwing a little bit of shade there by saying she had a “new Mario” to help her with such an important task.
At least that’s what I hope she was doing. Ramona has no issue speaking her mind to any person in any situation, but she has been surprisingly reserved when it comes to discussing Mario and her divorce, so I just want her to take one little dig at him for being a total scumbag and cheating on her. Plus she could get away with this caption if this guy helping her with the construction is actually named Mario, so why not throw some inconclusive shade?

Last night Lisa Vanderpump hosted World Dog Day and declared it a mandatory requirement for all Vanderpump Rules stars to own a dog. James Kennedy is exempt, however, because obviously Lisa cares about the welfare of her furry friends!
OK, just kidding – they didn’t have to own a dog, but it might as well have been a decree. Some of them <ahem… Stassi Schroeder…> were so eager to suck-up to Lisa via dog-loving they adopted two poor doggies, and dressed them up in bonnets fit for English Tea.
Before we dealt with dogs, however, we had to deal with pussy cats. And also bitches. All in a days work at SUR, right!? The bitch is Jax Taylor who has been spreading news of Kristen Doute petting Brittany Cartwright‘s kitty-cat all over SUR.
CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!
Brittany is shocked to realize even Lisa knows – which is funny because neither Brittany nor Kristen seem to know whether they did or did not engage in some carnal attraction.
The other purry friend we must address is Tom 2. Oh, Tomlette, our poor little Tomlette! Since Katie Maloney went into active over-drive with wedding planning, Tom has been a walking panic attack. To combat his permanent hives – such a travesty for one’s glowing complexion! – Tom drags his co-Tom to a spa. There in the healing baths, after couples massages, Tom 1 wonders if Tom 2 is ready to go through with this wedding? Like, he’s diverting the money that could go towards increasing his designer sweat pant collection to bridal bouquets!
Tom 2 considers this, and then ultimately decides he better just move into the spa permanently. Perhaps live in a submarine inside the cooling baths?
Except Katie would find him – come hell or high water, she would find her betrothed, if only to secure his credit card number!
Thankfully Katie is momentarily distracted with assisting Lisa for World Dog Day. Lisa is throwing a huge outdoor festival to raise awareness and money. She expects 3 – 4,000 people (plus their canine counterparts) to attend. Katie is ostensibly tasked with selling raffle tickets and organizing the SURvers to secure donations. But her real task is to quell the Jax Taylor Machine Of Mayhem.
Brittany is a week into her employment at SUR and already the subject of a game of telephone which reminds me of exercises from Jr. High Peer Mediation about the power of gossip allowing a story to grow and grow. The final incarnation features a familiar tale of Kristen’s antics: her boyfriend Carter is passed out on the sofa, yet in the bedroom Kristen and Brittany canoodle. If you swapped Carter for Tom 1, and Brittany for Jax, you’re basically going back in time 3 seasons! The more things change, the more they stay the same…
Brittany confronts Jax during work. He is typically un-remorseful, cause like that’s life at SUR, babe! You wanna hang with the big dogs…
What Jax is furious over – oddly – is that anyone would accuse him of lying or exaggerating what happened. Cause he definitely doesn’t have a history of that. Oh no! Brittany is adamant she and Kristen did nothing but exchange a few drunken kisses, while Carter watched. Although Kristen admits she was too trashed to remember what happened, but she’s positive Jax is lying. Cause, um, Jax is always lying…
Was it me, or did Brittany not really even seem that mad? Like she was trying to act mad, but secretly relishing in all the attention she was receiving – especially when Lisa reached out to her. Something’s fishy (pun intended!).
Meanwhile Kristen is furious! She will not be accused of cheating again – least of all by Jax. Especially when Brittany is the best thing that ever happened to him, but also when Kristen is finally in a decent relationship with accompanying decent apartment. Is it a bummer to see all these so-called bartenders suddenly living in fabulous new apartments? Man, they need to do some new casting on this show.
Thankfully we still have James and Lala to barely hold down the poor-young-dirty-disaster-folk forts. James is essentially squatting in what he considers a penthouse, but actually looks an extended stay motel. James doesn’t feel bad for calling Katie fat, but because Lisa is upset, he promised to apologize. First he tries his luck with Scheana Marie; he’s basically sorry his truth slipped out, because like, yeah, her friend group – not including Scheana! – do need to work on their summer bodies. And obviously James can’t help being the bearer of the truth.
For Katie and Stassi ‘working on their summer bodies’ means drinking beers in the afternoon. Cause beer is a hot weather beverage, of course! Stassi is hoping and praying and dreaming and wishing she’ll be tapped as Katie’s Maid Of Honor, but considering that Katie wasn’t even speaking to Stassi a few short months ago, Katie isn’t sure she can bestow that honor upon her. What’s a girl to do but focus on spending $15k on flowers instead!
Lala Kent also has other focuses. She recognizes that hanging out at SUR has turned her into a vicious person, and that it’s all the worse when she drinks. Is that perspective coming from a person at SUR? I need to lie down…
All things in small doses, though because after Lala acknowledges to her mom that she becomes nasty when she drinks and should probably stop, they both order wine and cheers to a whole new Lala. Is Lala’s mom supportive or enabling? However I do appreciate that Lala at least realizes she may have a problem – unlike James who thinks the whole world is jealous of his phenomenal success. I mean, he recorded Pump Sessions and now he’s DJing World Dog Day, so if you are the proud owner of a Toyota with a Mickey Mouse keychain, please come to the front. $10 says that belongs to Brittany.
Since Brittany is livid at Jax, she decides to spend the night at Scheana Marie‘s to bitch about him. When Brittany returns home the next morning Jax is passed out in his clothes and in no mood to hear it from his mom, errrrr… girlfriend. See, stability, sanity, regular sex with the same person – these are not values Jax holds dear. And fight as she may, it appears to be the same for Kristen, who struggles to remember what exactly happened with Brittany while struggling to determine if a decent apartment and a co-signer for the booze bill is worth droning predictability. At least Tom 1 fed into the drama a little bit!
Despite Brittany railing at him for lying about her alleged hookup with Kristen, Jax refuses to back-down from “what he saw” and cannot understand why anyone would accuse him of lying. After Brittany storms out, Jax rolls over to put the pillow over his head – all the better to smother your own unhappiness, and dream of a time when you were screwing Playboy models in Vegas, I suppose!
Meanwhile Katie is badgering Tom 2 about reserving their wedding location. The deposit totals $5k. Katie doesn’t bat an eye as she gleefully snatches Tom’s wallet and plunks down the card number, but Tom holds his knees and rocks himself. He comes to and immediately suggests a prenup. Katie, high on wedding fervor, agrees – if only to maintain control of the wedding budget!
Tom is relieved and also shocked Katie showed a rare burst of rational thinking. Somewhere, in another apartment across West Hollywood, Tom 1 frets on his better (or lesser) half’s behalf while stuffing a small dog into a baby carrier and heading to World Dog Day. Ariana Madix holds his hand and consoles him that Tom 2 will survive.
At World Dog Day, Lisa learns that A) Kristen and Stassi are there. Lisa cannot resist getting in a dig about Kristen allegedly giving Brittany more than she needs. Kristen is speechless. She put on a demure floral dress, she put her dog in a hat, she came contrite and bragging of the donation she made, but Lisa put her right in her place in front of Joyce Giraud‘s glorious hair. As Kristen shuffles away she curses Lisa for making this an alcohol-free event, then invites everyone over for a much-needed drink.
The other drama is from James, of course. Just after he insincerely apologizes for calling Katie fat (an apology I was pleased to see Katie NOT accept), Lisa learns James was in a physical altercation the night before in the back alley of SUR. How very West Side Story. Including, I imagine, dance moves. Tom 1 tries to figure out what happened, but James merely declares that ALL people – everyone, everywhere – are jealous of his success. He has to interrupt his own rant to remind dog owners to scoop their poop! Cause FAME!
Lisa is irate over this latest revelation about James’ behavior and determines that if he is indeed responsible for instigating, that is the final straw. Ken is in agreement as James has become an unstable liability who must be put in time-out. AGAIN.
Following Doggy Day Out, Jax is in the dog house, and needs to be sent to the pound. Brittany is barely speaking to him, and after being embarrassed by Lisa, Kristen decides to confront him. With Carter behind her, standing guard, Kristen calls Jax out for lying and accuses him of trying to sabotage his relationship to Brittany. Kristen will not be a casualty of Jax’s internal war. I thought Kristen was pretty articulate in explaining all the ways Jax was an ass, but unfortunately I think she’s mostly concerned about discovering the truth – like what if … Jax is right? What if … she ate some Kentucky cornbread muffins. What if… even in a good relationship Kristen can’t keep her hands to herself?

The post Vanderpump Rules Recap: Puppy Patrol appeared first on Reality Tea.
Obviously, Cynthia Bailey’s divorce from Peter Thomas was going to be her main story line on this season of Real Housewives of Atlanta, but I was not really sure what to expect from it. One moment that surprised me during the second episode this season was when Cynthia’s daughter Noelle questioned her about having a low self-esteem.
I was surprised she asked her mother that (especially on camera) and I could tell Cynthia was completely floored that her daughter thought that was the case. It was very clear that Cynthia was thrown off. Now that that the scene has aired, I could not help being curious about Cynthia feels about it.
CLICK “CONTINUE READING” FOR MORE!
In an interview with Bravo, Cynthia discussed how tough it is to divorce Peter (again), as well as the competition between Sheree Whitfield and Kenya Moore over their homes (another topic I’m tired of). If you’re interested in how those topics were regurgitated, you can check that out, but I’m gonna skip that part and get to the interesting part of the interview…at least in my opinion.
Cynthia was asked about breaking down during that talk with her daughter. Cynthia explained, “I do not have low self-esteem. I was really caught off guard when my daughter Noelle asked me if I did.” We really don’t see much of Noelle on the show, but it was still not something that I expected her to say. And obviously Cynthia didn’t either.

Cynthia explained why Noelle‘s question upset her so much: “I always try to teach her by example and be a good role model. It hurt me to hear her even have to question whether or not I had low self-esteem! My whole life I have always tried to represent confidence, strength, and fearlessness. Especially where my daughter is concerned!”
Clearly, Cynthia really took Noelle‘s remark to heart. She said, “I raised her to be an independent thinker and never to settle for less than what she wants and what feels she deserves. I broke down because I felt like I had failed her. And myself.” Damn.

So who wants to discuss THE AFFAIR with Shannon Beador again?
Anybody… well damn, too bad! Shannon and David did a vow renewal, and none of us understand how emotional, loving, caring, amazing David was ’cause the cameras didn’t show it. Only Vicki Gunvalson understands! See, she and Donn did this lil’ thing called a vow renewal, but 15 minutes later, they were divorced and Brooks Ayers had infiltrated the Coto. Empty Love Tank will drive you into the arms of the wrong love.

I think it’s fair that Vicki gets to “analogize” (word of the night!) her marriage to Shannon‘s marriage. Sure, they weren’t identical, but there are a lot of similarities, especially the public proclaiming that all is perfect when all appears to the contrary. Maybe I’m Unhappiness Shaming, but Shannon simply doesn’t look like a happy person. Nor does she act like one.
Instead of accepting Vicki‘s warning that certain things – like professing your undying re-love or discussing the intimate details of your infidelities – should perhaps remain behind closed camera lens, Shannon argues that SHE did not have an affair and SHE is not responsible for David having his affair. Nor does she have poor self-esteem because of his choices. And their love is reformed to perfect. I’m with Vicki… the gist of which was, Mmmhmmm… mmmmhmmm, okay Shannon, sure! Well, call me if you need a good divorce attorney…
RELATED – Catch Up On Part One Of The Reunion Here!
The woman David cheated with still has seats at the USC football games and sits three rows in front of them, but Shannon has decided she should be forced to give them up. David cheated, too, so why should THE MISTRESS have to stop enjoying her college football? Seriously, though, what is the deal with people in their 50’s spending every weekend at their college alma mater football games? Isn’t there anything better to do? Like, um, err, shopping for doorknobs with Heather Dubrow while she browbeats Terry about his work schedule. Or helping Vicki ship out bracelets from her latest scam, oh, ha – I mean, cancer charity. #FreudianSlip #JustCallMeKelly
Also, Vicki is WRONG! again for repeating gossip about Shannon’s marriage, but Heather and Tamra Judge are amazing friends for participating in said gossip! Oh, Shannon, yeah, keep eating… your delusions. Nope, Tamra never talks crap! Neither does Shannon…cut to a clip of Shannon accusing Vicki of buying Briana’s love with a house!
Shannon denies ever doing anything to provoke her mother-in-law’s dislike of her, and defends Tamra as the bestest friend in the whole-wide world. Would a good friend let you go on national TV wearing a teepee of a dress that makes you look like mother of the bride for the Abominable Snowmonster?
I have to talk about Heather‘s meltdown over Kelly Dodd‘s poor etiquette, aren’t I? Rule #25073: When in a Japanese restaurant, please respect the auditory transcendence of paper-thin walls. Also, Heather was already verklempt at sushi night, because the last time she saw Terry’s brother it was at that very same restaurant.
Heather couldn’t take Kelly‘s in-observance of respect and threatened to quit if Kelly wasn’t fired. Andy aired some fourth-wall footage of Heather ripping off her mic and flipping out to the producers. Heather attempts to explain, in between Kelly’s interruptions, just why she was so perturbed – because RHOC is better than this. Then Heather lectures Kelly on etiquette – again. Um, Heather you have Tamra and Vicki on your show, you ain’t better than nothin’!
Heather and Kelly‘s dynamic is so skewed. Kelly is the rebellious teenager; Heather is the pushy, overbearing mother. They belong on Gilmore Girls.
Heather is friends with Tamra, who physically assaults people, curses non-stop, makes trashy sex jokes, runs around with strap ons on, and is in general conniving and vindictive, yet Kelly’s outburst during sushi night was too much? I’m gonna need clarification on Heather’s definition of “low-base.”
Unfortunately for Heather, Kelly is all out of ‘pologies. She used most of ’em up during filming and is down to her last couple fake ones, which must be carefully conserved and doled out with special dispensations. Ergo Kelly has no remorse for her Sushi Night behavior, especially not for “Bossy Pants!”
I’m frustrated by Kelly’s refusal to acknowledge that her behavior was bad. It’s a shame Kelly can’t eat her pride or defensiveness, even if the ladies provoked her. After treks through AA and Anger Management, Kelly believes she has no issues. She can feign to nonchalance all she wants but she sure sunk to their level. Rather, she sunk lower than most of their levels, but I don’t think we should be setting the bar at Tamra.
Kelly came across pretty bad this segment. I’ve been cheering for her the last few episodes, because I do think Shannon set her up at the 70’s party, and then the whole Ireland debacle, but last night Kelly was so defensive she was talking gibberish sometimes. Meghan King Edmonds tries to gently point out how Kelly lashes out, but Kelly tartly informs her that she feels no guilt after re-examining how the women treated her. I think Kelly could make the distinction that she’s sorry she allowed herself to behave in an unbecoming way. Of course, the other women refuse to allow Kelly any excuse, because they’re using all the excuses for themselves!
Kelly believes she was restrained in Ireland. After all, she avoided “beating the shit” out of Tamra after Tamra shoved (hit?) her.
Tamra blames her reaction on drinking, yet when Kelly tries to excuse her own behavior – at sushi night and the 70’s party – on drinking, Shannon, Heather, and Tamra practically suffocate on their own huffing breaths. Heather lectures Kelly that her pattern is “rage and remorse” but Kelly shoots back that Heather’s is interloping. The bottom line: Kelly will make no apologies for her “natrocious” behavior – especially when no one else is apologizing for theirs! – except in one rare and special exception.
Kelly‘s one exception to her no-pologies policy was to say sorry – again – to Tamra for the comment about her daughter. This was after Heather was called out for making a similar assertion about Kelly’s daughter on the bus in Ireland. Heather apologized, then lectured Kelly about how she LEARNS from her mistakes, unlike Kelly. Uh-huh.
I did appreciate Andy calling Tamra out, via the viewer questions, for the awful comments she’s made about others parenting in the past, also for assaulting other Housewives. Tamra admits she was wrong too, but her feelings are still hurt by Kelly. Still, Kelly isn’t allowed to lash out from hurt feelings, in case you’re keeping score!
So, I am saving the best for last here, and by that I mean Vicki! Woo-Hoo! Well, this was an eventful episode for her, wasn’t it?
Briana disappoints me. I can’t believe she was talking trash about Vicki to TAMRA! Even if what Briana and Tamra said was true, that’s low; Tamra has been trashing Vicki all season on and off-camera, yet, Briana is still conspiring with her? Huh?
Irony at its finest: Tamra still believes she has a right to scream at Vicki for repeating gossip, while she’s chasing Briana down back-stage to compare Kelly to Brooks and announce that Vicki and Kelly are faking their alliance…cut to Vicki and Kelly whispering that they promise to have each others backs. Why is Tamra so concerned with what Vicki is doing when Tamra so-called cannot stand Vicki and wants nothing to do with her? Isn’t she too busy making sex tapes with Eddie to care about what friendships Vicki is making – fake or not? What is Tamra worried may be revealed?
If only everyone could be Heather with her overly perfect life, and no real crisis to expose on Bravo, while the rest of the ladies are sending themselves flowers and planning vowel renewals.
On stage, Briana was kinder and more loyal. At least she loves Vicki’s new man Steve Lodge. Everyone likes him – even Tamra! Shannon looked like she’d swallowed all nine lemons in her bowl upon hearing that Vicki finally met a good man.
Briana has been diagnosed with Lupus. Shockingly, no one demanded she show her medical records and prove her diagnosis. Meghan must have been too preoccupied with exposing Kill All Cancer. The women all looked genuinely sad.
Briana also denied that Vicki helping with the house came with strings attached. Briana, who filmed the reunion after a 14-hour shift at the hospital, works hard – her mom is merely helping her out. I don’t see what the big deal is if Vicki helps her kids with the down payment on their homes?
I feel like Briana has developed a martyr complex, probably a perfectly normal by-product of being a child of Vicki, who has zero self-awareness and is constantly doing and saying embarrassing-beyond-belief things. I’d probably seek attention for being ‘too good’ too, and constantly feel the need to prove my humble, earnest, goodness. But conspiring with Tamra? That’s jut too bad, and Tamra should be ashamed of herself. But shame is only for Kelly or Vicki to feel; Tamra only feels the cobwebs of Jesus’ love.
Of course we can’t let Vicki escape without mentioning Kill All Cancer, can we? What was that?! An insurance product? A cancer scam? Both?! Vicki can’t seem to explain it, but she’s killed all ties! Meghan investigated – of course – and discovered that you sign up on the website to get a bracelet (which was free?), but had to enter your info and agree to accept information about insurance? Kelly refers to it as sales, but Vicki denies that they were fraudulently forcing people to opt-in. “That’s ILLEGAL,” she shrieks as if that proves she’s innocent. Who was donating the money to charity? Vicki? Her insurance company? I thought you bought a bracelet and that money went to charity?
Andy point-blank asks Vicki how she could possibly think it was a good idea to get involved with Kill All Cancer. I mean, yeah… did Brooks (oh, sorry – dingity-ding-ding-GirthBrooksDong) Kill All Brain Cells while dating Vicki? The other women stare at Vicki stonily while interrogating her about the goal of her so-called charity, and Vicki’s intentions.
Tamra believes Vicki thought she could exonerate herself from Brooks’ scam. Like, LOOK! See I would never do a cancer scam, I’m running a cancer charity! Vicki pretty much admits that’s the case. Some advice Vicki: in men, in cancer charities, in friendships, in all things – even nipple reconstructive surgeries – DO YOUR RESEARCH FIRST. Or at least have Meghan do it for you.
Did I miss anything? I feel like I did… oh well, there’s always next week!
