The OC was insanely good last night.
The way Heather and Tamra are trying to make out Shannon is mentally unstable is so low. I think Shannon has been pretty justified in everything she's done thus far. Tamras days on the show seem numbered. It looks like her and Vicki have a big blow out or are about to have one at the reunion, Tamra was going off on one about her on WHHL. Apparently, Andy has had enough of her too. Alex McCord said the same thing but also added that she's in trouble because no one on the cast trusts her enough to tell her 'secrets', meaning she's pretty much useless to the producers and the show.
Heather: I really do like her but she's being a cold bitch. She's obviously trying to wind Shannon up and takes great satisfaction in knowing she's hurt. When Heather basically dangled the bit of information in Shannon's face but wouldn't give her it, I went off her a little. I can totally see Terry calling Tamra to say what he did, he's always acted like a catty teenage girl - remember the things he said about Alexis? Plus, his anger toward David showed he has some kind of resentment for the Beadors, it was so irrational even though David was being snide.
Tamra: She's just grating on me. She has no loyalty to anyone other than herself and it's obvious she told Shannon what Terry said. However, I'm not sure that Terry said it to Tamra. I think he may have said it to producers who told Tamra, and I think that is what Heather has been alluding to when she says that things need to change behind the scenes if she comes back, because Terry did seem shocked at the table. Or it could be that she said it, and told the Dubrows she did, and is now denying it to cover both their asses. Tamra has no good storyline, although next week looks promising for her, so she may as well be a friend.
Vicki: She is so much fun this season. Brooks is the best husband/other half on the OC. It was nice to see him try encourage Vicki to stand up for Shannon when she knew Tamra to be lying. I was disappointed that she didn't defend Shannon though, when she could have put Tamra on blast, rightfully so. It reminded me of when she brought Alexis to Tamras gym opening then never said anything during the gang up. It's sad that Vicki is so afraid of Tamra going after Brooks that she wont say anything to her - I'm loving Tamra and Vicki's office meets though. I do love fun loving Vicki, getting rid of Gretchen was the best thing for her. Vicki's talking heads had me laughing so hard this episode, especially during Christians speeches.
Shannon: The star of the show, without a doubt. She's a little crazy at times, but mostly she's misunderstood and has been caught up in Tamra's crap stirring manipulation ploy to stay on the show. It was nice to see her and David be a happy normal family - makes you wonder how many other scenes like that ended on the cutting room floor. She can be a buzz kill though, like when she said she doesn't get excited. I thought it was sensible of her to not mention it or bring it up because she knew the Dubrows would take Tamra's denial and run with it...and they have and are trying to make her out to be crazy. It's funny that Heather's calling her crazy, yet she's the one who is saying Tamra doesn't lie. I admired that she understood Vicki not getting involved and wasn't bothered by it, because I was annoyed for her lol. I'm glad she's seeing Tamra's true colours. I don't get why her and David done the show, they seem like such the normal, perfect little family, minus the almost divorce. They're selling their home so I think it may have been to showcase that (hence why it has been heavily featured) - maybe their downsizing to a smaller one so he can be at home more.
Lizzie: She improved this episode. She was really sweet to Shannon at the end when she was trying to calm her down and reassure her it didn't matter what people where saying and that she wasn't going to kick her out. Her and her husband seem like the perfect couple, it makes me want them off the show before they get the Housewives curse lol. I love that she picked up on Tamra's involvement and her need to pull people aside. Maybe, this is her smart side coming out. It finally showed she had personality, I just wish she took what she says in her talking head interviews and said it to the others during filming. Perhaps, she's a late bloomer.
Danielle: I wish we seen more of her. Perhaps if they keep the same cast next season she can transition into a housewife.
The line of the episode had to be Shannon's serious shade toward Heather, when she said "the face he made?" when Terry said his favourite part of Heather was her face.
The reunion films this week and I'm hoping they crucify Tamra over her bs. She's gotten so comfortable stirring that she's being lazy and not even trying to hide it now.
I wonder what they have planned for season 10. Surely, they have to do something big for the landmark season. I at least hope for the finale party that they have all the previous housewives and friends make an appearance at the party - but don't let Sarah near the cake.
Next season I'd love Vicki, Shannon and Heather back. Tamra and Lizzie, I don't care either way. I still hope Jeana comes back at some point, although, I'm unsure if she'd fit now with the show having changed so much.
that poor kid, she's so young and she's still the most mature one in that family. You can feel the toll Tre and Juicy's issues are having on her and its so sad. Clearly we are meant to feel sorry for Tre, and as much as I like her, she and Juicy have done all this to themselves and I need to remember that. My sympathy is for their kids. That said, it seems that everyone seems to accept that Joe is "going away" and I just hope Tre doesn't end up doing jail time. If only for her girls. 
Poor Kathy, she just was not meant for this show at all. I wouldn't mind seeing a bit of her and Rosie this season though.
