The title of this episode is Rumors.
That has to be the blandest, saddest title of aReal Housewivesepisode ever.
And there arent even any rumors in the episode.
Instead, one producer said, What should we call this episode?
And the second producer, listening to Fleetwood Mac said, I dont know.
To which the first one replied.
You want something to happen so badly that youre just imagining that something is happening.
That is what this show is now.The Phantom Rumbles of Orange County.
I am happy to because I enjoy Gina.
I havent been this excited about a new Housewife since the first time we met insta-legend LeeAnne Locken.
The thing I like the most about Gina is that she is fun.
The show had gotten dark and acrimonious with long-standing feuds that would never dissipate.
That is not Gina.
Heather Dubrow would hate her and I think that is a good thing.
He looks exactly like the model on a 24-pack of BVDs that you would buy at Costco.
He looks sort of like someone who would play a troubled teens father on a CW show.
The rest of this episode is, as the Milkman might describe it,basura caliente.
Not only boring but also a little bit sad.
The worst part came when Shannon and Tamra started comparing Ring Toe to their former controlling husbands.
Yeah, it all fits.
Ring Toe doesnt quite seem to fit into the same mold.
I think hes just, as Emily will fully admit, a dick.
This brings us to the final part of this episode, which I have some mixed feelings about.
There is nothing I love more than watching Shannon Beador in emotional turmoil.
No one does justice to a blubbery cry like Shannon Beador.
I think Shannon Beador should have to do that but like for her emotions.
Is she stable enough to behind the wheel?
We see her running a red light just because shes nervous.
There needs to be a PSA about Shannons driving.
In all seriousness though, I dont really love what a jerk David is being about the divorce.
Hes clearly contemptuous of the proceedings thathe initiatedbecause he cant entirely control them.
Hes gone so far as to slow them down by not getting a lawyer and insisting on representing himself.
Then he sways the proceedings by shouting at both his ex-wife and her lawyer in the hallway.
This is probably more damaging than it is entertaining.
(As if that should even be the ultimate barometer of what we watch on reality television.)
But if I were Shannon, I would certainly not do the right thing by David.
Oh no, I would not.
