(Bravo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAs is almost always (there are some notable exceptions) the case with reality TV trailers, it all starts off with fun and partying.<\/p>\n
Well, if by \u201cfun\u201d you mean Tamra Judge, Shannon Beador, and Vicki Gunvalson back together again.<\/p>\n
And if by \u201cpartying,\u201d you mean what sounds like a whole lot of screaming<\/em>. The Tres Amigas know how to make some noise.<\/p>\nWhat do you get when you mix Tamra Judge, Shannon Beador, and Vicki Gunvalson? The Tres Amigas \u2026 sometimes. When they\u2019re in the right mood. (Bravo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nVicki is back in a \u201cFriend of\u201d capacity. Whether that\u2019s a good idea remains to be seen.<\/p>\n
At first, most fans simply assumed that Vicki would stop by for a lunch or two with Tamra and Shannon and call it a day.<\/p>\n
But the OG of the OC actually appears in a few different settings. One of them will be Shannon\u2019s huge explosion \u2026 but let\u2019s not get ahead of ourselves.<\/p>\nThe RHOC 17 midseason teaser trailer highlighted that Shannon Beador and John Janssen were still together. For the time being. (Bravo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nSee, Shannon is still with her boyfriend during this footage.<\/p>\n
John Janssen is, of course, the subject of some sort of rumor or secret.<\/p>\n
Shannon knows. Heather Dubrow knows. According to Tamra, Heather isn\u2019t keeping it to herself \u2026 and word is spreading.<\/p>\nEmily Simpson may not be a natural born unicyclist, but who is? (Bravo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nShannon freaked out on July\u2019s final episode, fearing that this could destroy her relationship. She tried to demand that producers not use this.<\/p>\n
(Hey, at least she wasn\u2019t shouting \u201cBravo! Bravo! Bravo!\u201d like Denise Richards)<\/p>\n
We all know that she and John broke up a while back. And we cannot rule out that it may have been related to this \u2026 whatever it is.<\/p>\nTamra Judge makes a video call to dish on a major real estate move that one of her castmates has made. (Bravo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAnyway, we are once again getting ahead of ourselves.<\/p>\n
On a video call in the trailer, Tamra chats with Shannon about some real estate gossip.<\/p>\n
Who sold their home for $55 million? Heather and Terry Dubrow, that\u2019s who.<\/p>\nShannon Beador wonders why a certain castmate would make a major sale \u2014 of her own home \u2014 without mentioning it to anyone. (Bravo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThat is a tender slice of gossip.<\/p>\n
Shannon openly wonders why Heather didn\u2019t breathe a word of this.<\/p>\n
(Especially since she\u2019s seemingly so open about the actual secrets<\/em> of other people)<\/p>\nHeather Dubrow and husband Terry Dubrow celebrate the $55 million sale of their home. (Bravo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nObviously, we see Heather and Terry celebrating. <\/p>\n
Though there\u2019s no actual indication that they\u2019re just dancing on camera to celebrate a home sale.<\/p>\n
Maybe they would. Or maybe editors just made it look that way, and now Heather\u2019s fretting over looking gauche. (Though we do <\/em>remember what her podcasting room looked like)<\/p>\nEmily Simpson confronts her castmate about body-shaming. There\u2019s no excuse for it. (Bravo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nIt\u2019s not all fun and games for Heather, however.<\/p>\n
With Jennifer Pedranti sitting beside her, Emily lays into Heather.<\/p>\n
She\u2019s confronting her about body-shaming. We won\u2019t know the full context until it airs \u2026 but body-shaming is simply never okay.<\/p>\nShannon Beador is just looking all kinds of over it in this screenshot from the RHOC 17 midseason trailer. (Bravo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nMeanwhile, Shannon doesn\u2019t seem to be in a happy mood.<\/p>\n
We know that she has some sort of issue with Heather allegedly spilling her secrets.<\/p>\n
Maybe it\u2019s that. Or maybe she\u2019s just not feeling the vibe tonight.<\/p>\nWig! As in, Heather Dubrow is wearing one, and it\u2019s not good, but that\u2019s sort of the point of this RHOC 17 party. But she\u2019s not in a party mood \u2014 and tired of feeling like the \u201cwhipping boy\u201d of the group. (Bravo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nWearing a bad wig (but far from the worst of the night), Heather expresses how she feels tired of being the group\u2019s \u201cwhipping boy.\u201d<\/p>\n
While it may sound like an esteemed BDSM title, the term actually refers to a legendary (as in, possibly fictitious) practice of tutors abusing non-royal children in order to \u201cpunish\u201d a prince or child-king.<\/p>\n
Child-abuse is a horrific evil, but the term has come to refer to a social scapegoat \u2014 someone who bears the brunt of wrath even if they do not deserve it.<\/p>\n\n\n
