Let us begin this recap the same way as the episode: with Shannons new trainer Steven.

I would like to marry Steven.
We will eat that couscous nude as custom dictates (at least in my house).
What I mean is Steven is very attractive.
Whatever, he is so much better than Shannons last trainer, who was also stupid Davids trainer.
That guy deserved to be fired.
Now she has Steven, who is not only a muscle-bound dream, but also comes to her house.
That could be the case.
I didnt think so.
Its all about finding a nice balance with Steven.
You know, the kind of balance where he could conceivably sit on your face without smothering you.
Did I say that out loud?
(Call me.)
It was a very nice, cute excursion.
The less we say about the trip to the golf course the better.
I grew up in the great state of Connecticut and I took golf lessons as a young man.
It was not by choice.
Troy just stands there and let it happen.
Couldnt he have intervened?
This could have been easily avoided.
Nothing really exciting happened when Tamra and Eddie went out to dinner with Emily and Ring Toe.
We also learned what we already surmised: that Ring Toe is the worst.
She describes him as sarcastic but I dont think she understands the meaning of the word.
He says, She thinks Im being sarcastic but I mean a lot of what I say to her.
Emily says, See, thats sarcastic.
No its not, Emily.
That is the truth.
By the time theyre at the golf course, Emily has told Tamra about Gina getting thrown out.
Then Gina told Emily that Shannon said that.
Now, at golf, Emily asks Shannon if she said that her husband was abusive.
Thats what kicks this all off.
Then at lunch, Shannon asks who said that she said that Ring Toe was abusive.
As Tamra correctly surmised, this was just a whole game of telephone.
They were just all upset about the word abusive but that didnt come up until Emily invented it.
So what are they arguing about?
What did Emily and Gina have to get up from the table to clear up?
No one was trying to lie or obfuscate and no one used the word abusive.
We should be in the clear.
But, as Erika Jayne told us, the more you talk about shit, the worse it gets.
No one told that to Tamra and Shannon, who start a concurrent fight of their own.
If I didnt understand the first fight, I really dont understand this one.
All I can say is that Kelly Dodd seemed reasonable when they were all sitting around the table.
Yeah, thats true.
If Shannon has anyone to be mad at, its herself.
Im totally Team Tamra on this one.
Yes, Shannon is going through a hard time, but Tamra deserves none of the blame here.
You probably dont have a retirement plan and I can fix that.
Lets talk about your 401K.
Second of all, of course she somehow turned this into a pitch for the services of Coto Insurance.
Third of all, none of these women think about the future.
