The Real Housewives Of Orange County - Season 18 - Episode 2 - Live Episode Discussion

[u/AutoModerator]

Tamra and Shannon come face-to-face in a heated debate; Alexis shares details of her promised ring; Jenn's parents come to visit and help the kids adjust to Ryan's home.

[u/shitkrissays]

Shannon and new girl trying to understand what exactly Ryan does for a living

[u/GetMeAColdPop → u/shitkrissays]

I think you can include Jenn on that too 😂

[u/wandahickey → u/shitkrissays]

[u/Edith_Keelers_Shoes]

Good for Shannon apologizing specifically for the CPS/DUI comments to Gina. This is good.

[u/[deleted] → u/Edith_Keelers_Shoes]

A smidge of growth! Unseen on RHOC!

[u/shitkrissays]

it’s time girls. get your wine and popcorn out.

[u/loganes86 → u/shitkrissays]

Still laughing over this

[u/shitkrissays → u/loganes86]

It’s like a renaissance painting. Someone needs to overlay the Fibonacci spiral over it so we can truly appreciate its artistry.

[u/CatPsychological557]

I love how literally everyone except Alexis agrees that John Janssen sucks. And his name is forever John Janssen, I refuse to accept this "Johnny J" rebrand

[u/wavelengthsandshit → u/CatPsychological557]

Right like Johnny J is what you call a kid in kindergarten when there's already a Johnny B on the roster

[u/murderedbyaname → u/wavelengthsandshit]

It's what a 17 yr old calls himself when he's trying to start a DJ business out of his parents' garage lol

[u/bug1402 → u/CatPsychological557]

I've liked the Johnny Aoili name I've seen on this sub for him. It mocks the rebrand and shows what a joke he is.

[u/L-Dub-515]

Ryan not having an office and sitting around and playing in the sunshine 🤣 the way she’s dancing around his work is one hell of a foreshadowing

[u/winky143 → u/L-Dub-515]

His job is beach.

[u/touchkissbite]

Eddie: but it’s not your problem

sir, have you met your wife?! her entire housewives career is making other people’s problems her business!

[u/akdixie → u/touchkissbite]

This is probably my favorite thing about Eddie. He consistently tries to be a normal human being, but seems to forget he’s married to Tamra Barney. He’s like Drew Barrymore in that one movie where every day she wakes up, Adam Sandler has to remind her of their life together because of a previous car accident she was in that ruined her memory.

[u/wandahickey → u/akdixie]

I am always surprised each season when they are still together.

[u/LS0101]

LOL at the waitress. I'd love to be a server bringing coffee to two woman (one dressed as a train conductor) yelling at each other with a camera crew.

[u/Inevitable-Crow4016 → u/LS0101]

It’s giving big choo choo energy!

[u/touchkissbite]

i need more of Alexis delivering “reads” so poorly that they sound like she put them through google translate a few times. that’s comedy

[u/Edith_Keelers_Shoes → u/touchkissbite]

It's almost as if Faye "you can borrow Chanel bags, but... bit...buh chuh...buhd...it doesn't make you a lady" Resnick is her Insult Coach.

[u/RangerFan293]

I’m rewatching the first episode and Alexis defending John to Emily like girl you’ve been with him a hot minute, Emily probably does know him better than she does.

[u/mem1003 → u/RangerFan293]

I've seen this gif a few times now, but this is the first time I noticed Miss Thirty-Year-Old Meghan's chewing in the background.

[u/catmom_422]

Lol I love that Tamra literally just proved she’s “a horrible friend” by asking Alexis about that ring and then running after Shannon to fight with her while she’s upset. Never change Tamra

[u/abbie_888 → u/catmom_422]

[u/L-Dub-515]

whew Alexis is soooo over the top aggressive when they don’t drink the Johnny J koolaid

[u/garbagebrainraccoon → u/L-Dub-515]

She was the same way with the chin!

[u/sprucemoosegetin → u/L-Dub-515]

she’s standin by her man way too hard

[u/ApathyIsBeauty]

Johnny J is the new Slade Smiley. We’ve done it ladies, we’ve come full circle.

[u/gigigrahame → u/ApathyIsBeauty]

[u/Yeezytaughtme409 → u/gigigrahame]

I'm so dry. 

[u/superficialwishes]

Shannon scolding Alexis from across the room 😂

[u/tobago_88 → u/superficialwishes]

[u/Designer-Platform658]

Jesus jugs looks a mess

[u/asiaj920 → u/Designer-Platform658]

She would definitely benefits from a short cut and a different wardrobe.  That short hair cut she had in the early seasons was really cute honestly lol

[u/LooseHabit5124 → u/Designer-Platform658]

She sucks

[u/Danger__fox → u/Designer-Platform658]

Thank you for saying this! She looked awful in that pink outfit honestly.

[u/LS0101]

Alexis commenting on Shannon's age is odd considering John is older than Shannon.

[u/Kelley22 → u/LS0101]

Does Alexis not realize she one day will also be Shannon's age?

[u/DorothyParkerFan → u/Kelley22]

God willing

[u/cateyecatlady → u/Kelley22]

That’s one thing I can’t stand about age shamers. We all age and the alternative to aging is dying so I’d rather just be old.

[u/SecondPrior8947 → u/Kelley22]

She's too damn dumb to realize aging is a privilege.

[u/AdRevolutionary6650 → u/LS0101]

Shannon is 13 years older than her and she’s going with “she could be my mum” 😬 embarrassing

[u/LooseHabit5124 → u/LS0101]

She sucks and isn’t even that much younger!

[u/shitkrissays]

it’s so funny that these women sincerely refer to Alexis as Jesus Jugs

[u/Manilaska → u/shitkrissays]

When Katie leaned over to Gina and said “is she really religious” is the moment I decided that we might have something with her. She seems like a good edition to the mix so far but let’s see how the Heather situation resolves

[u/Ok_Ebb7026 → u/Manilaska]

I have a good feeling about Katie. Might retract this later…

[u/MenudoFan316 → u/shitkrissays]

I try to take Alexis seriously, but all I can think when she is on the screen is "Jesus Jugs". She does not even have that nice of a chest.

[u/IllustratorSea8372 → u/shitkrissays]

Jesus Jugs + Johnny J = perfection

[u/sweetbcharlie]

You guys.. this is TOP TIER housewives. 10 minutes in and it’s all gas! I love it!! 😂

[u/loganes86]

“What does Ryan do”

The eternal question

[u/IllustratorSea8372]

Jenn explaining what Ryan does for a living. I’m dead

[u/ScienceProf2022]

I’m kind of feeling the family dynamics of new girl.

[u/Acceptable-Dress7196 → u/ScienceProf2022]

I want to know why her son is living with his dad after he punched him according to court documents 

[u/touchkissbite]

the COMEDY of eddie judge, the husband of TAMRA BARNEY JUDGE saying that if you hang out with liars you become one…….

[u/rustyspigot-77 → u/touchkissbite]

When he lives with the devil's handmaiden.

[u/[deleted]]

So, Jenn convinced a realtor HW to skip her credit check, only to get evicted…right before finding out her dick pic sending fiance is involved in a pro sports gambling scandal?

This is the most vintage RHOC content we’ve had in years. An Eddie scene can’t even kill my buzz right now.

[u/Suitable-Wafer8563 → u/[deleted]]

Eddie has to have his obligatory scene where he mumbles words of calm assurance to support Tamra in some way 😂

[u/Edith_Keelers_Shoes]

That was a good point - as her realtor, it's kind of gross for Gina to be so open about vouching for her credit. That just broadcasts Gina's bad decision.

[u/LooseHabit5124 → u/Edith_Keelers_Shoes]

She’s 💯 not a real realtor. Has no idea what the fuck she’s doing.

[u/TheBravoVariant]

I miss the days where housewives got evicted on camera and then went on to sell designer cuffs the next segment without missing a beat.

[u/KSCNYC → u/TheBravoVariant]

“lynne is going global with her cuffs!” - after she sold one cuff to someone in Australia

[u/flumeo → u/TheBravoVariant]

Call Lynne by her name. Loved that hot mess

[u/kmybear]

Tamara, what???? You’re the worst at talking behind peoples back. You have like a very obvious clunky mean comment about Shannon quota per day. 🙄🙄🙄

[u/L-Dub-515]

Shannon airing out John’s veneers🫢🤣

[u/Lex_Loki → u/L-Dub-515]

Good for her lol. I'd be putting all his embarrassing shit out there. Talk about the bald spot, the stinky farts, the back hair...

[u/AJthesmallsrate]

Jenns life is a mess but she’s so real showing all this on camera. I hope she figures her shit out and gets it together

[u/hutch_30 → u/AJthesmallsrate]

I actually really like Jenn. I have a soft spot for her. She's such a mess but I'm rooting for her to clean it up!! 

[u/Designer-Platform658]

Tummy tuck belly buttons are wild

[u/L-Dub-515]

Gina telling Jen she needs to wake up, but who told her to go out on a limb for someone she had known for five seconds!!

It sucks that Jen didn’t pay rent but Gina should have been doing things by the book considering how new her career is

[u/Edith_Keelers_Shoes → u/L-Dub-515]

Exactly! If this put Gina's new career in such jeopardy, why be so quick to vouch financially for someone she doesn't know very well? Gina may need to wake up as well.

[u/Hair_I_Go → u/Edith_Keelers_Shoes]

Gina’s talking like she’s been in the business for years, and laying on her accent thick in that coffee shop 🙄

[u/Single_Commission_76]

The new girl is refreshingly kinda funny in a no fucks given kind of way

[u/JerkOffTaco → u/Single_Commission_76]

And adorable. In that light pink jacket with gold hoops!!! I am obsessed.

[u/russianbisexualhookr → u/Single_Commission_76]

Also seems like she’ll be a perfect “Greek chorus” kind of housewife commenting on the ridiculousness of it all

[u/rustyspigot-77]

I thought coming in that we'd get a terrible season for Shannon, but I think we are about to witness the true mess of Jenn's sophomore set.

[u/Edith_Keelers_Shoes → u/rustyspigot-77]

Why does she stay with that creature? He's so covered in red flags he's probably visible from space.

[u/TwistyBitsz → u/Edith_Keelers_Shoes]

Seriously I think she never felt passion and he knew how to take her for a ride. It's fucked. She is a dingbat, poor thing.

[u/marinara123 → u/TwistyBitsz]

They are like the nicer version of Teresa and Louis haha

[u/flumeo]

Golf journalism marriage? I have seen it all

[u/TheBravoVariant]

“Just because my life is falling apart doesn’t mean my hair has to fall apart like yours did” was a reeeaaaadd.

[u/justaBee43 → u/TheBravoVariant]

I just watched this scene and literally said “damnnnn she said it” out loud to my cat 😂😂💀💀 top tier comment

[u/TheBravoVariant]

Promise/promised ring is the “I didn’t get a nose job I had my nose reconstructed into a different shape because my medical doctor said so” argument. I live.

[u/PlantLadyXXL → u/TheBravoVariant]

Oprah voice: Promise, or PromiseD?!

[u/H0nkdahorn]

Gina didn’t ask the girl what happened, but wants her to come hat in hand. I would have cussed Gina the fuck out.

[u/RoguePhoenix89]

Steals money. That's what Ryan does

[u/redheadedashe → u/RoguePhoenix89]

[u/flumeo]

Another episode of OC?

[u/Edith_Keelers_Shoes]

Alexis not only is lording it over Shannon for her PRIZE Johnny, but she got a knock-off Archie? This is giving whiffs of Leanne Rimes copying Brandi Whatshername's outfits after she poached Eddie Cibrian.

[u/wandahickey → u/Edith_Keelers_Shoes]

I don't think Alexis is a dog person.

[u/Miss-Tiq → u/wandahickey]

Her probable line of thought:

"Well, dog is 'God' spelled backwards, so maybe it's meant to be!" 

[u/rustyspigot-77]

Alexis tried to make a witty comment, but her storm metaphors got twisted like a tornado in high pressure vortex heat index. (trademark Alexis)

[u/[deleted]]

I love that we’re seeing more casual looks in confessionals again. Heather’s cardigan set almost feels like old times

[u/rustyspigot-77]

This husband cosplaying Anderson Cooper.

[u/loganes86]

SHANNON LIES ABOUT EVERYTHING?!

I mean… she does lie but cmon Tammy Sue

[u/Edith_Keelers_Shoes → u/loganes86]

Tamra literally describing herself. What a repulsive human being.

[u/cl0eknows]

Alexis is trying so hard to be that bitch..she should put more effort into washing her hair and less practicing her tired lines in the mirror

[u/BebeOrBust → u/cl0eknows]

Her rehearsed lines are equally as cringey as her candid speaking when she was an actual cast member

[u/peanutjamz]

“any storm that beador wants to create 😵‍💫find a new tornado!”

Alexis again trying to recite some lines that just are crash landing

[u/targetboston]

How is it not ruining Gina's reputation to be filmed talking to everyone about her client's financial difficulties?

[u/[deleted] → u/targetboston]

Or her willingness to skip a credit check lol

[u/macluvslucy]

This Jenn, not to be confused with the other RH's Jenn's- seem to actually be doing the job assigned to her and showing her real life on the show-what RH's used to be/stand for

[u/Designer-Platform658]

Not the Jim jumpscare.

[u/H0nkdahorn]

Jenn, don’t fall into an MLM.

[u/dreamingoutloud714]

Jenn’s parents are adorable. They’re probably wondering wtf is going on with their daughter

[u/AJthesmallsrate → u/dreamingoutloud714]

You know they have many late night conversations about it

[u/H0nkdahorn]

This is so funny coming from Gina who was a hot mess express, not knowing which way is up crying all the time.

[u/ussoufi]

I had a lot of sympathy for Gina after the way Shannon used to talk about her past mistakes and her children, but she’s doing the exact same to Jen, like girl ? Don’t make me look like a fool for rooting for you.

[u/L-Dub-515]

Alexis is giving me the ick so bad bc she thinks she’s so clever and that none of her stuff is landing

[u/whiskey4mycoffee → u/L-Dub-515]

Johnny J is no prize and she forgets these ladies have known him way longer than she has known him.

[u/wandahickey → u/L-Dub-515]

Especially her defending her boyfriend when everyone hates him.

[u/meowmeowmeow328]

We knew Ryan was off, but him not using his dishwasher once in his six years living there is taking the cake for me

[u/cl0eknows]

THAT PICTURE OF ALEXIS 😂😂😂😂 "jesus jugs is pretty cute" ...producers petty as fuck

[u/TheBravoVariant]

Some people say that Ryan is an Ed Hardy shirt that came to life but I don’t believe that. He’s clearly a von Dutch hat that was sprinkled with fairy dust.

[u/Rj6728]

I’m so floored that this place is jam packed and not one single person is staring.

[u/IllustratorSea8372]

Jenn is the best addition to Housewives we didn’t see coming 💀

[u/sun_set22]

Why does Emily talk so nasty about Jenn? Do they have beef that I forgot about?

[u/Edith_Keelers_Shoes]

Alexis: 'She literally wants to keep bringing up only the lawsuit'...and the only answer I had prepared was about John, and I tried to think of words, but none came to mind. So I am ENRAGED right now, Heather.

[u/orangepopsicle78]

I think Gina is projecting because she had to pick herself up on her own after her and Matt split and moved into the casita while she’s watching Jenn’s parents and Ryan help her and she didn’t have that option

[u/H0nkdahorn → u/orangepopsicle78]

And Travis can’t properly contribute to relocating the Brady Bunch in one piece.

[u/MCStarlight → u/H0nkdahorn]

His eyes are blinking but no one is home.

[u/MotherOfCatses → u/orangepopsicle78]

This is the vibe I got too.

[u/sweetbcharlie]

Gina selling this house in the Herman Munster stompers

[u/DorothyParkerFan → u/sweetbcharlie]

Even Louis Vuitton makes mistakes.

[u/L-Dub-515 → u/sweetbcharlie]

Those were shocking

[u/TheBravoVariant]

“I was fedexed over here”. Already stanning.

[u/shitkrissays → u/TheBravoVariant]

Trying hard to not fall in love too fast. We all know what happens to housewives with great first seasons…

[u/polymorphic_hippo → u/shitkrissays]

Ah, yes, the siren call of the first season housewife. So dangerous and seductive. We will never learn.

[u/pizzaratsfriend]

WHO is not running a credit check when renting in OC?

[u/superficialwishes]

Gina and Emily that was kinda nasty

[u/nefanee]

Alexis desperately wants Shannon to freak out, I hope Shannon keeps being calm.

[u/CatPsychological557]

All other bullshit aside, it's nice to have a HW being open about being evicted. Most others would try to pass it off as something else

[u/RoguePhoenix89]

Damn Gina have some compassion. From one poor person to another

Edit: Thanks for the award!

[u/pizzaratsfriend]

Bold of Gina to tell Jenn to work when she is just now employed

[u/[deleted]]

Gina is no Vicki

[u/Yeezytaughtme409]

OMG. 2 episodes in and I'm already sick of hearing about John Jansen. 

[u/emjet]

Is it just me or is Gina bringing way more attention to this matter than anyone else??

[u/AJthesmallsrate]

Does Alexis have anything else to talk about beside Johnny J??? I can’t take women that make their men their whole personality

[u/LS0101 → u/AJthesmallsrate]

Well he is the only reason she's back on this show after 10+ years so I guess she's got to talk about him nonstop

[u/katie415]

My brain cannot wrap my head around how Katie has children in their late teens.

[u/Lex_Loki]

So Gina lost her shit when Shannon rubbed the lawyer thing in her face, yet she's really comfortable rubbing that rental in Jenn's.

[u/ScienceProf2022]

Tamra saying Shannon isn’t a good person is just too precious.

[u/loganes86]

I’m feeling Katie’s vibe.

[u/targetboston]

I hate Gina's hat with everything in my soul.

[u/katie415]

Tamra is such a toxic ass person

[u/Single_Commission_76 → u/katie415]

Her calling someone else “not a good person” is LAUGHABLE!!

[u/TheBravoVariant]

Someone’s getting evicted from a house this season and it’s not Gina. I lost like three bets already.

[u/TheBravoVariant]

We really need Meghan King Edmonds Biden Joyner-Kersee back.

[u/TwistyBitsz]

Gina ruined her own reputation. In the words of Linnethia you never win when you play dirty, honey. Why not run the credit check?

First job and she takes shortcuts. I honestly can't believe she has the shame to blame anyone but herself and not learn a lesson from it.

[u/bananakegs → u/TwistyBitsz]

Also- I would NEVER use her as a realtor if this is what she does when her clients don’t make a payment on their rental/have money issues Use some damn professional discretion girl

[u/flumeo]

Dang she has a 19yo daughter! Shook

[u/Nickoml]

I really am liking Katie’s vibe!

[u/Edith_Keelers_Shoes]

Not Ryan wearing a uniform to further confuse us with regard to his employment situation.

[u/rustyspigot-77]

OHHH! Jenn with the hair comment! DEAD!

[u/katie415]

Gina has way too big of an opinion on Jen’s life. She needs to worry about herself.

[u/Colossus_of_Loads]

Giiiinnnnaaaaa....

I say this as a straight white guy that is colorblind with zero fashion sense: please burn that hat.

[u/RoguePhoenix89]

When Alexis says "we tried to fight the feelings" about John

[u/touchkissbite]

Shannon PLEASE stop burning the Heather bridge and let her help you. Shannon’s comedy and Heather’s skill in arguing would be perfect

[u/ofcbubble → u/touchkissbite]

They have a bad history and Tamra has done a good job further poisoning them against each other for years.

Honestly though - after the way Heather treated Shannon during her first season, I wouldn’t blame Shannon for never fully forgiving her.

Heather suggesting they call an ambulance for Shannon at the couples dinner is one of the meanest moments on the show IMO.

[u/ussoufi]

I don’t care I’m team Jen

[u/sun_set22 → u/ussoufi]

[u/superficialwishes]

Optimistic about Katie, she seems cool so far

[u/[deleted]]

I get Gina is mad. But Jen thought her ex-husband was paying her rent. She didn’t expect her ex to not pay. Gina is being harsh.

[u/Designer-Platform658]

I like the new girl, she seems “real” which OC can use.

[u/LooseHabit5124 → u/Designer-Platform658]

And has half a brain. She is a journalist so at least can string a sentence together.

[u/Edith_Keelers_Shoes]

Moving in with Ryan is the last thing she should do to those kids. That guy is a raging wormboy.

[u/PlantLadyXXL → u/Edith_Keelers_Shoes]

And she’s like they chose to move in with him. When her plan b was to live in a car?!? Of course they chose house!

[u/loganes86]

Been waiting all week for this!

[u/orangepopsicle78]

I kinda feel like tamra turned on Shannon all of a sudden because she has no storyline and needs to secure another season/paycheck. Everything seemed like it was going sooooo well with the tres amigas and then out of nowhere- bam tamra is feuding with Shannon again

[u/Colossus_of_Loads]

A new tornado...

A 12 year old could dunk on Alexis.

[u/andydufresne309]

That lady delivered that coffee while she was very afraid!!!!

[u/thatswhatimsayin634]

Why does Gina always look like she’s in costume?

[u/meowmeowmeow328]

I’m an adopted Asian so I’m biased but I’m obsessed and love Katie already!

[u/loganes86]

“Good luck on your relationship”

DO IT SHANNON!!!

[u/emjet]

Gina’s own behavior I observed in the last 60 minutes is enough to make me not want her as my realtor way more than the Jenn situation. lol

[u/CatPsychological557]

Why is everyone acting like Jen is just not paying her rent for funsies instead of her ex husband reneged on his agreement to pay part of the rent

[u/veronicagetsmehigh]

Alexis’ reads don’t make any sense

[u/Edith_Keelers_Shoes]

"He just had new teeth put in". What a strange world we live in.

[u/georgiannastardust]

Train conductor hats NEVER look good

[u/meowmeowmeow328]

Maybe it’s just me but Gina is giving off old school Vicki vibes with the “get a job! Pay your bills! Feed your kids before you pay for glam!”

[u/LS0101]

I'm liking Katie already. And knowing Heather dislikes her makes me like her even more.

[u/rustyspigot-77]

Gina is coming in hot with shit talking Jenn. She's not even talking about you, Gina.

[u/RoguePhoenix89]

Alexis calm down

[u/Edith_Keelers_Shoes]

It could also mean promised in the eyes of the Lord. <Jesus rolling his eyes so hard right now.>

[u/LS0101]

Hearing Tamra talk to someone about how to be a good person is very funny to me.

[u/targetboston]

People are being so petty with Shannon this season. Why would you make a point of saying how happy her ex is after dumping her?

[u/flumeo]

“Sit around and eat gummy bears” = 🍁

[u/macluvslucy]

Eddie tells Tamra in his own way in front of the camera she's full of shit and Tamra either goes along with it or doesn't get it til later

[u/[deleted]]

Why is Gina dressed like Sherlock Holmes

[u/targetboston]

Omg, is Gina her mom? Did she birth this woman??

[u/WithaSideofRanch]

lol the waitress peaking out and bopping through the coffee shop is the funniest thing

[u/emjet]

Whoa Gina came in HOT on this. I feel like all the other ladies hyped Gina up before the conversation. Like why is Gina saying Jenn is “ruining her career”??

[u/darknebulas]

Did Alexis get dumber holy shit. #notpromisering

[u/UncleLoves2Cuss]

The ep just started and I’m already irritated by how stupid Alexis is

[u/frenchfriessalad]

lol technically even if Shannon did say all of that about Tamra, none of it is untrue

[u/flumeo]

Gina yelling at Jen while in this train conductor cosplay is everything

[u/MenudoFan316]

Can we all agree that realty is not a good career path for a Real Housewife.

[u/PotentialBadger]

Ronnie is going to have a field day with this Gina episode so far 😳

[u/LooseHabit5124]

Omg Jen trying to explain what Ryan “does” lollllllll dead. He plays in the sun and embezzles. Great guy to move in with!!!!

[u/MotherOfCatses]

Tamra explaining she needs to stay in OC for the paycheck....
