serious<\/em>.<\/p>\nFirst, Shannon confronted Heather Dubrow over \u201cconcerns\u201d about Shannon\u2019s relationship. But this wasn\u2019t really about Heather.<\/p>\n
It ended with Shannon having a tearful, yelling meltdown \u2014 declaring that she has never been more in love. Despite their \u201cfights that paralyze\u201d her. And a whole lot of other stuff.<\/p>\n<\/noscript>Shannon Beador arrives at the You Do Me And I\u2019ll Do You Party, dressed as Gina Kirschenheiter. Sort of. (Bravo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nIt all started off so fun and carefree. Mostly.<\/p>\n
Okay, Shannon\u2019s decision to dress as Gina\u2019s most busted looks \u2014 from when her life was in shambles \u2014 was not a tasteful choice.<\/p>\n
Some costumes were better. We loved Gina\u2019s (the real Gina\u2019s) booty when she dressed as Emily. Emily falling for real while dressed as Shannon was very on-the-nose.<\/p>\nVicki Gunvalson makes the most of her \u201cFriend\u201d role, doing a keg stand. (Bravo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nIt\u2019s unclear why producers decided to prolong Vicki\u2019s \u201cFriend\u201d role so much this season.<\/p>\n
Either way, she used it as an opportunity to show off her keg stand skills.<\/p>\n
Like we said, standard pre-drama shenanigans.<\/p>\nIt turns out that Heather Dubrow and Tamra Judge have different ideas about what it means to be Heather. (Bravo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nEven the initial \u201cconflicts\u201d were pretty friendly.<\/p>\n
Tamra, dressed as Heather, decided to make it a little bawdier than Heather would have.<\/p>\n
But there wasn\u2019t real animosity. Not yet, anyway.<\/p>\nIndoors at the You Do Me And I Do You party on RHOC, Emily Simpson and Gina Kirschenheiter compare notes. (Bravo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nBut inside, Emily Simpson and Gina Kirschenheiter compared notes.<\/p>\n
Shannon has spoken to both of them about her relationship. But she has done this separately. There\u2019s a lot of that going around, and people are starting to notice.<\/p>\n
Interestingly, they have different perspectives on Heather\u2019s role in this. Gina sees Heather as just another concerned friend. Emily seems to see her as stirring the pot.<\/p>\nWearing a frightful wig, Shannon Beador confronts a castmate for allegedly gossiping about her. (Bravo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAs darkness falls, Shannon sits a short distance from the group, chatting with Heather.<\/p>\n
She is now under the impression that Heather is spilling the beans of what she\u2019s confided in her.<\/p>\n
(Remember, Tamra has led Shannon to believe that people know what they know about her relationship issues from Heather)<\/p>\nHere, Heather Dubrow listens to Shannon Beador\u2019s complaints. (Bravo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nBut Heather Dubrow has no interest in taking the blame for this.<\/p>\n
One, she resents the implication that she cannot keep a secret.<\/p>\n
And second \u2026 it\u2019s not a secret. Because Shannon has told a lot of things to a lot of Housewives. <\/p>\nEmily Simpson opines about how one of her castmates likes to share things one-on-one but doesn\u2019t ever want the information to be a topic of discussion. (Bravo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAt the table, Emily makes a similar point.<\/p>\n
She knows that Shannon wants to talk with people one-on-one about all of this, but does not want it to become a topic of discussion.<\/p>\n
But when everyone knows the same stuff \u2026 Emily describes it as a bit \u201cunfair.\u201d<\/p>\nHeather Dubrow makes some solid points about her castmate\u2019s priorities while speaking to the confessional camera during Season 17. (Bravo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nTo the confessional camera, Heather observes that Shannon seems to really focus upon who is saying what about her relationship.<\/p>\n
Heather would rather see her focus upon the relationship itself.<\/p>\n
She sees a lot of problems. And she\u2019s far from alone.<\/p>\nShannon Beador discusses her (now former) relationship while wearing pink during Season 17. (Bravo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nBut, during her own confessional, Shannon cannot stop raving about John Janssen.<\/p>\n
She praises his treatment of her and her daughters. According to her, this is the most she\u2019s loved someone, and the best relationship of her life.<\/p>\n
Considering everything that we heard later in the episode \u2026 that is so profoundly sad.<\/p>\nShannon Beador and Heather Dubrow face off over who is discussing what about Shannon\u2019s relationship. (Bravo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nSimply put, Heather says, she has voiced concerns.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s it.<\/p>\n
She\u2019s not spreading information, just her opinions about the relationship as a whole. And the people to whom she\u2019s speaking already know \u2014 because Shannon has spoken to them, too.<\/p>\nIn hushed whispers, Tamra Judge begins to ask her castmates \u201cDid Heather talk to you?\u201d (Bravo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nBack at the table, Tamra is quietly asking people if Heather has spoken to them.<\/p>\n
She\u2019s not being loud. But she\u2019s also not being subtle.<\/p>\n
Heather picks up instantly on the whispering that\u2019s going on. <\/p>\nHeather Dubrow and Shannon Beador turn their attentions towards the larger table and the women who are sitting at it. (Bravo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAs Heather asks Tamra what she\u2019s whispering about, the two conversations merge.<\/p>\n
Not everyone is on the same page, however.<\/p>\n
But the crux of it all is that everyone is talking about Shannon\u2019s relationship. And that\u2019s a nightmare for her.<\/p>\nNot everyone on the RHOC 17 cast sees eye to eye on who is being reasonable here. (Bravo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAs far as Shannon is concerned, this conversation is just a \u201crat feeding frenzy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Speaking frankly, she clearly feels extremely insecure in her relationship. <\/p>\n
If her fear is that mere talk about the romance is going to kill it, it\u2019s dying anyway.<\/p>\n\u201cYou owe my boyfriend a HUGE f\u2013king apology,\u201d Shannon Beador declares to her castmates. But is she right? (Bravo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nStanding up, a furious Shannon tells everyone \u2014 but especially Gina, it seems \u2014 \u201cYou owe my boyfriend a huge f\u2013king apology.\u201d<\/p>\n
For \u2026 discussing their relationship?<\/p>\n
John Janssen may be a private man, but \u2026 that\u2019s not Gina\u2019s fault. Or Heather\u2019s or Tamra\u2019s or Emily\u2019s.<\/p>\nGina Kirschenheiter points out a clear double standard that her longtime castmate clearly has. (Bravo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nBut Gina wants to point out two things.<\/p>\n
First, that Shannon has discussed other people\u2019s relationships the entire dang time. She\u2019s being a hypocrite.<\/p>\n
And second, that everyone \u2014 including Heather \u2014 is just expressing their concern. Worrying is just that.<\/p>\n\u201cI\u2019ve never been more in love,\u201d Shannon Beador loudly and angrily declares to her castmates on RHOC 17. (Bravo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nShannon Beador makes her dramatic exit from the outdoor dining area, while Taylor Armstrong doesn\u2019t know what to make of it. Vicki Gunvalson seemed to want to stay out of it for the moment. (Bravo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAt this point, Shannon has had enough.<\/p>\n
She just about crab-walks away as she grows increasingly irate.<\/p>\n
And friends like Emily and Tamra following her to try to console her doesn\u2019t help.<\/p>\n\u201cThis is my LIFE,\u201d Shannon Beador furiously hisses up at Emily Simpson. (Bravo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe veins and tendons showing on her neck, Shannon hisses that \u201cthis is my LIFE!\u201d<\/p>\n
Emily is trying to console and reassure her.<\/p>\n
But it\u2019s just not working.<\/p>\nHeather Dubrow asks why her castmate, Emily Simpson, seems to have it out for her. (Bravo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nGiven that she\u2019s not exactly masterminding a takedown, Heather asks why this is all about her<\/em>. <\/p>\nWhen Tamra confronts Heather, believing that Heather is blaming Tamra, Heather tells her that it\u2019s untrue.<\/p>\n
As a rewind illustrates, Heather simply told Shannon that \u201call of these girls\u201d were discussing her relationship. Which is true. Heather <\/em>didn\u2019t single out Tamra.<\/p>\nEmily Simpson needed to remind Shannon Beador that they have spoken about certain topics more than the latter seems to remember. (Bravo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nShannon seems to think that she has only spoken to Emily about her relationship issues once, years ago.<\/p>\n
No, baby.<\/p>\n
Emily tells her that they have had many conversations about John. Emily has heard more than enough directly from Shannon.<\/p>\nEmily Simpson summarizes her castmate\u2019s relationship issue: he\u2019s not invested, and she can do better. (Bravo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nTo the confessional camera, at first, Emily just shares that John doesn\u2019t seem fully invested and that Shannon can do better.<\/p>\n
Heather gets more specific, noting many things \u2014 like that he\u2019s apparently never stayed over \u2014 as red flags.<\/p>\n
And later, Emily tells the camera that John has insulted Shannon, calling her \u201cfat\u201d as an insult. Dealbreaker <\/em>stuff that Shannon has seemingly chosen to ignore.<\/p>\nAccording to Shannon Beador, the fact that her relationship is a topic of discussion on RHOC means that it will end. (Bravo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAt this point, Shannon is completely losing it.<\/p>\n
Emily cannot calm her. Vicki cannot calm her.<\/p>\n
She\u2019s admonishing castmates and producers alike that none of this can be the on-screen topic of discussion. (Girl, then don\u2019t have a meltdown about it)<\/p>\nOutside, Shannon Beador whirls around and asks producers to stop following her, on the grounds that she is not \u201ca crazy person.\u201d (Bravo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nBut Shannon doesn\u2019t think that she\u2019s having a meltdown.<\/p>\n
Insisting that she\u2019s \u201cnot a crazy person,\u201d Shannon tells anyone who will listen that she and John simply have \u201cnormal fights.\u201d<\/p>\n
No<\/em>. They are not normal or healthy, by the sound of it.<\/p>\nAs Vicki Gunvalson and Tamra Judge listen with concern, Shannon Beador says that she has \u201cnormal fights\u201d with her boyfriend \u201cthat paralyze\u201d her. She has said this more than once. (Bravo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nInside, Emily and Heather talk things out a little. And Gina comes to mediate.<\/p>\n
They again talk about how Shannon worries that John will leave her when hears about any of this.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s not necessarily a bad thing. As Emily said, Shannon deserves better.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
