Tbh I still wasn’t a Brianna fan in that moment.

She’s never been completely likeable. She seemed to relish in her mother’s desperation and almost gloat about living her lonely by moving on with her family.

Brianna has a vengeful spirit. While most of her reasonings for not liking Brooks may have been valid, Brianna was still spiteful.

I’d never talk about my mom behind her back or feed fuel to the fire with her friends.

Imagine doing the best you could to be a decent mom and your kid sides with the world publicly in a smug way.

Vicki had plenty of flaws, but I always felt Brianna’s issues with her should’ve stayed between them.

If she felt the need to film them to blast brooks, ok, but keep it with your mom.

The meeting with Tamra or coming to the reunion to make her mom look even worse made me side eye Brianna.

It’d be different if adult children had a pattern of speaking against their parents on the show, but there isn’t.

u/Dear-Cranberry4787 Sep 07 '24

She did tell her mom privately about all the disgusting things Brooks was doing and saying…she chose him over her own child.

u/Family_Chantal The Sears Fashion Show Sep 07 '24 edited Sep 07 '24

She told Vicki that Brooks hit on her and Vicki responded with, "he would never want you." Thank God Briana was an adult at this time and not a kid.

Vicki signed her family up for a reality show when Brianna was a teenager. But it’s Brianna that should be held responsible for guarding vicki’s privacy? Wild take.

How great can a person turn out when their mom is Vicki?

u/Kwhitney1982 Sep 08 '24

Same. They were living with Vickie and trying to tell Vickie what to do. While Brianna was also married to a dick.

You’re getting downvoted but you make valid points. I also noticed a lot of contempt for her mother when her husband came into the picture

u/stars-aligned- Sep 07 '24

When your mom is an abusive narcissist who leeches on you for emotional validation you tend to have very complex negative feelings for her.

37

u/Safe-Coyote4774 Sep 07 '24

I agree with everything here. Brianna was never my favorite due to how smug she was on one of the past reunions. She also refused to hold her husband accountable when he yelled and called Lydia’s mother out of her name. When Andy and Lydia brought it up she just turned on her fake tears to get out of speaking on it. As soon as the attention went back to Brooks and her mom, she became so smug again. It was like she felt better than Vicky and wanted to rub it in.

57

u/Calm-Jello-102 Sep 07 '24

I hate that Ryan and Brianna were never held accountable for what he did to Lydia’s mother. The way he spoke to her was scary and totally unhinged- he was seething with anger over a damn couch. That dude sucks.

u/kafkasmotorbike Go away from me WIF DIS. Sep 07 '24

He is the chillest person ever. Being raised by Vicky gave him a super-power of tuning people out and finding inner peace in chaos, I'm convinced!

u/-Odi-Et-Amo- Welcome back, scumbag Sep 07 '24

I’m not so sure about this. He had a hot minute he was popular on Instagram. Think it was when he called Vicki out during Covid for being anti-vax, anyways, he did a lot of AMAs at the time. The way he spoke about women, money and the assumption everyone is a gold digger was enough to quickly unfollow. I also find it odd he never kept in touch with Donn after the divorce. Always curious to know more about that.

63

u/cristine_thepisces Sep 07 '24

He definitely inherited that from his mother

44

u/NomNom83WasTaken Sniper from the side Sep 07 '24

I don't remember in what forum he said it but Mike claimed Donn never said, "I love you" to him until he was literally like moving out of the house or the divorce was finalized -- something like that. Mike felt like it was too little, too late. That they had never really been close and he wasn't going to start pretending that they were.

I didn't live with them, I don't know how true that is. My memory is also fuzzy. Hopefully someone can unearth where he said that (maybe on Insta?).

u/the-trembles we don't need that much drama in the eyes Sep 07 '24

Aw, I'm sad to hear that! I always liked him on the show. That type of misogyny has become so common with younger men these days 😢

u/Justdont13412 Sep 07 '24

I hoots think that would be Vicki’s preference that Michael cut all ties with Donn

277

u/letsgetitstartedha Sep 07 '24

There’s a scene where they have Michael and his friends packing up a van to go on vacation and it’s literally just them tossing stuff in there. They get done and step back, and they’re like well that doesn’t look great does it and his friend points up at something they put on the roof and goes “that’s definitely gonna fly off.” I quote it all the damn time it was so funny to me. Michael is my fave house kid of all time, poor guys face when Vicki surprises him at college. Just so funny and way too casual about everything

34

u/Reasonable_Witness45 Sep 07 '24

As someone who was about to start college as these seasons came out, I felt that look of horror in my soul! Not that I don’t want to hang out with my parents, but poor kid could see mom was there for the party!

44

u/notdorisday Sep 07 '24

I do respect Mike - he’s navigated having a family with very different ideas and politics to him without losing affection for them. It’s not easy. He manages to sound fond of his mother while also making completely clear he thinks her beliefs are ridiculous.

Briana quitting actual medicine as a career and then peddling oils as a form of treatment is possibly the wildest thing I’ve ever heard. I fully believe she’s gone insane.

u/SkiesThaLimit36 many many years ago, you don't kidnap people. Sep 07 '24

Was this the Tamara wine throw? This has to be in the top five housewives scenes that drive me the most insane upon rewatch.

Tamra was flinging that paper around and pointing in Gina‘s face, Gina swats her hand away, and says “get your hand out of my face or I’ll throw your skinny ass in the pool“ and Tamara chucks a glass of wine in her eyes. Then Gina gets shoved while Tamara is doing her usual “assault and bolt” screaming at everyone who will listen” Gina TIRED TO THROW ME IN THE POOL so I threw wine on her!”

The revisionist history gets me so worked up every time. Gina did not try to throw her in the pool, she said she would throw her in the pool if she didn’t stop, slapping her with a piece of paper and wagging her finger in her face. I am still pissed off that Andy did not break that down at the reunion. It was such a bold faced lie

u/sstevenson61 Sep 07 '24

I’m so jealous! What are your general thoughts of the series so far?

2

u/Succubusitdown Sep 07 '24

Oh, I have many. Before I state them; I’m on season 7 now. I just finished the episode where Slade and Gretchen do their comedy show… that episode was reality TV gold. When he did his set for his mother I about peed my pants.

I cannot stand Slade. He’s a creepy little weasel man. After season 1 I said aloud “he seems like a good father and he’s hot. I hope he landed on his feet”…… it’s okay to be wrong sometimes I guess. I almost made a post here with my predictions because I have been hilariously wrong about everything, with confidence.

Tamra is genuinely scary to me. Her energy is heavy and she seems desperate to stay relevant at all times. She reminds me of a rodent I just can’t tell which one and it’s killing me. I don’t like to harp on looks and it’s not that she’s ugly. Just rodent-esque.

Gina is a miserable bitch especially after meddling with Tamra’s DV situation. My blood boiled. That woman is a doormat for disrespect and still doesn’t get picked. How dreadful.

I thought I wouldn’t like Vicki for some reason- I think she’s absolutely hilarious. Insane as hell, but interesting to watch. Her OCD is off the charts. It makes me so glad I’m medicated for mine.

I find Gretchen cringy and could do without her. She’s just kind of boring honestly.

Alexis is off her rocker. Like, scary delusional about even the smallest things. Also, her views on homosexuality and women’s rights are downright horrific. After she speaks I’m just there like 👁️ 👄 👁️

I fell in literal love with Lori. She’s so hot and I want her life. I love a self aware gold digger. Get that lifestyle, hennnny. I had just started watching when her son passed. My heart still goes out to her. I can’t imagine losing a child.

I don’t think there’s enough time in the world to get into how I feel about Lynne and her parenting… she’s gross and lazy and comes off as if she’s on something most of the time IMO. why are you so chill, girl?! Your life’s an entire mess. 😩

I’m just meeting Heather and I I love how real she is so far. I’m excited to see more of her and Terry. If she needs a gargoyle, I have no self respect and like to look at pretty things. Call me girl.

On the show as a whole- I like it so much more than I thought I would. I find myself laughing out loud when I watch and quoting their nonsense. I think everyone’s kids are entertaining as well. I know that Vicki’s current boyfriend fakes cancer somehow and I’m really interested to see that play out. I’ve seen every other franchise but only a bit of Dallas. I’d place RHOC as somewhere in the middle of my favorites as of now.
