My thoughts S20 ep 12 (because I actually enjoyed this episode enough to make notes)

Discussion 🌊

Tamra – I liked her scenes this episode. Her family is dysfunctional, has been through a lot and I feel happy for her that they’ve come together (partially).  I love seeing her relationship with her daughter and Mum. Quite surprised that Tamra/her kids are liberal. It was surreal seeing how big her grand-daughter is now, it felt a bit awkward when she was giving her the Gucci bag, not sure how often she sees her if she has been distant with Ryan. I still feel bad that she doesn’t have contact with Sidney. Strange seeing Ryan’s ex-gf there Sarah, from what I remember, she is super pro-MAGA and even has some senior role? I feel like she might have come on just for exposure and to see if she has a chance at being on the show lol.

Carmella – her daughter’s impersonations of Vicki were the funniest part of this episode. I like how bold Carmella is against Vicki and not afraid of her. She also has a gentle approach to taking on disagreements rather than just shouting and yapping like the classic OC housewife.

Vicki  - or shall I say Victim Vicki. She is definitely not the OG of the OC anymore and she feels a type of way that this show has continued/been okay without her. She used to run the OC, I’m thinking back to her squad vs Gretchen, and vs Emily/gina when they were new.  Now, all these women are tough/Emily / Heather aren’t afraid to stand up to her and even the new girls are speaking back, she is outnumbered and she knows it so is less likely to put up a fight. Even her OG pals,  Tamra and Shannon, know that they can’t back her anymore.

The ending annoyed me when they were hugging,  Vicki used old white women tears and manipulation to get sympathy. I’m hoping that she can put this dumb beef behind her and try and have fun now. 

Jen – OMG, so boring. Please can any producers reading this remove her. Adds nothing, has such a fairweather personality, so forgettable, I can't even be bothered to write anything about her.

Heather - yes more classic rich people stuff about doing crazy things to your apartments. More rich people needed asap.

 Looking forward to next weeks episode with old faces (not Alexis bloody bellino-jansen though). I feel like Shannon is finally in a good place and jesus jugs is going to try and get under her skin.
