The Real Housewives of Orange County returned to Bravo TV tonight for its 17th episode in its 10th season. Tonight’s episode of course surrounding the topic of Brooks Ayers cancer for the….17th episode in a row!
On tonight’s episode Brooks Ayers finally gives the ladies some documentation proving that he does indeed have cancer. However Meghan King Edmonds; after calling the doctor’s office where the documents came from, is claiming that the documents are fake!! Who is telling the truth tonight Meghan King Edmonds or Brooks Ayers?! Find out…..below!
Real Housewives of Orange County began tonight like it does every week with a recap of last week’s episode. Following the recap of the ladies vs. Vicki Gunvalson, the show begins with its typical taglines.
Following this we are brought to an outdoor restaurant where Shannon Beador and her husband are found getting some lunch. Shannon Beador explains that she can’t eat like she once was able to, therefore she’s forced to get a healthy lunch! When David Beador asks about Shannon’s day, she explains that things have changed so much in the past two months.
In the past two months Shannon has gotten extremely close with both Tamra Judge and Heather Dubrow. Shannon explains that the word on the street is that Vicki is really hurt from their lunch the previous episode. Shannon explains that Vicki sent her a very rude text message following their lunch, and it looks like these two ladies may not get over their differences.
Shannon explains to David that she know she been a good friend to Vicki, and she hopes that Vicki will eventually forgive her. Next up we are in Tamra Judge’s living room as she meets with her pastor Mike. I’m going to use this time to go to the bathroom because lets all be real Tamra Judge being baptized is just her desperation for a storyline.
I was hoping this scene would be over by now…. but it’s not. Maybe i’ll go make some popcorn, i will certainly need it tonight! Alrighty I get the impression that this scene will never end… Tamra Judge is crying about being a bad example for her son…blah…blah….blah. Tamra Judge prays….and then cries some more.
Next up we are at the medical plaza with Vicki Gunvalson and Brooks Ayers. Brooks Ayers and Vicki are meeting with a health counselor? and a family practitioner? The doctor reads over Brooks Ayers medical records and we learn that…well he actually does have cancer… or at least masses in his body due to cancer.
We are only ten minutes into the show, and we finally have some what proof that Brooks Ayers does have cancer. The doctor explains (after Vicki tells him that people don’t believe he has cancer) that it’s clear to him from Brooks Ayers medical records that he really does have cancer. Its about damn time Bravo brought us into a doctor’s appointment!
To be honest I was sort of hoping that Meghan King Edmonds was right about Brooks Ayers lying about having cancer…. but this doctor certainly believes he has cancer. Did Brooks Ayers pay the doctor, did he give him fake medical records? Who knows but from what we know now…. it’s time to drop the Brooks Ayers doesn’t have cancer storyline!
Over to Heather Dubrow and Terry Dubrow as they start to rehearse their upcoming Live TV appearance. Apparently they will be selling their skin care line… and from the practice run Terry Dubrow is certainly not meant for live tv! Terry constantly stutters and gets confused while practicing for the live TV debut. Maybe Heather Dubrow should talk and he just smiles….
Over to Tamra Judge and her son Ryan as the continue to beat a dead horse. Yes Tamra didn’t tell Eddie how much she gave her son… we get it. Ryan has no job but four kids and that sucks…. but it was his choice to get married and to move.
Sarah lost her business and is now unemployed too and it looks like this new couple are no longer happy together. According to Tamra they have been constantly butting heads lately and suggests that they go to church and speak to a pasture. Ryan jokes around asking how much it costs to go to church and Tamra Judge is not having it!
Over to Meghan King Edmonds for the first time this episode and she’s making dinner for Hayley. Edmonds revealed that her husband informed her that she needs to pull back on being so strict with Hayley. This scene was pretty boring to be honest I think I dozed off, its a typical what do you want to do with your life type of conversation… boring!
Back to Terry Dubrow and Heather Dubrow as they continue to prepare for their first live television experience. Once again another pointless scene between these two as they further discus going on live television. Heather Dubrow tries to further motivate Terry and blah blah blah blah.
Over to Tamra Judge who is knocking on Vicki Gunvalson’s door. Brooks Ayers answers the door and we all know what’s about to come! Brooks Ayers begins talking to Tamra about how much they appreciate Tamra Judge’s friendship.
Brooks Ayers explains that he had another PET scan just the week prior and he gives Brooks Ayers these documents so that she finally has proof that Brooks Ayers has cancer. Tamra Judge asks how to read the documents and Brooks Ayers kindly explains each part of the document.
Tamra Judge was shocked to learn that Brooks Ayers has masses when he has a blood cancer, Judge finds out that Brooks Ayers cancer has spread recently. Brooks Ayers reveals that he decided to show Tamra the documents in order to help Vicki out in this current drama going on.
Tamra Judge asks Brooks Ayers why he doesn’t show all of the other ladies the documents, and Gunvalson explains that Brooks Ayers does have cancer and there is no need to further show people proof. Vicki Gunvalson feels like Tamra Judge started it all with the psychic so obviously Tamra Judge should be the one to end all the this drama.
Of course Tamra Judge explains that she doesn’t know what to tell the other ladies because she didn’t really understand what she was reading. She doesn’t know if she was reading proof of the documents or just some bullshit piece of paper. Ayers records are a little weird because their is a part in the piece of paper where all of the words are connected, as if someone forgot to hit space for an entire line.
Back to Heather Dubrow and Terry Dubrow as the finally go on the air live! Tamra Judge pretends to be a woman named cinnamon as she prank calls the live TV show! Tamra Judge puts on a very southern accent, and it’s funny as hell! In only took a minute before Terry Dubrow found out who was calling!
Tamra Judge comments Terry Dubrow spray tan, and she asks Terry if they can drink vodka mixed with Terry Dubrow miracle drink! I’m not sure why they spent at least 20 minutes building up to this segment, maybe I really just can’t stand Heather Dubrow!
We get a short clip of Brooks Ayers taking a shit ton of medicine…. hmmm Bravo why didn’t you show us this the first episode!! Over to Tamra Judge, Shannon Beador and Meghan King Edmonds!
Tamra Judge tells the ladies everything that went down when between herself Brooks Ayers and Vicki Gunvalson. Tamra Judge explains the documents that she was given to read, and explains that Brooks Ayers has a mass on his abdomen.
Meghan King Edmonds explains that she called his doctor’s office and found out that they don’t do PET scans where Brooks Ayers alleged documents come from! Apparently the doctors office stopped doing the scans in 2008, and no longer have the equipment needed!
Tamra Judge is seriously confused now and Meghan continues to explain that she called not just once but two times! Tamra Judge explains that she doesn’t understand what she read, and when Vicki told her that she needs to advocate for them Shannon gets upset that she wasn’t the one chosen to see the documents!
Shannon Beador continues to asks why she wasn’t shown the documents, Meghan believes that Tamra was shown the documents because she is the least one likely to be able to read the documents or know what they are suppose to say. Meghan King Edmonds explains that she believes that Brooks Ayers faked the documents that he then gave to Tamra Judge!
Tamra Judge explains that she felt like Brooks Ayers was being honest to her, and Meghan explain that regardless if he has cancer or not his stories are not matching up and maybe he is making it a bigger deal that it is. Tamra further explains that she doesn’t understand what she read, and that makes her wonder if she was being played by Brooks Ayers and Vicki Gunvalson.
Meghan King Edmonds continues to stir shit up when she asks Tamra why anyone else wasn’t shown the documents. Edmonds explains that it upsets her so much because her step daughter’s mother is going through cancer and it upsets her to listen to all of these changing stories.
PHEW THAT WAS A SURPRISINGLY GOOD EPISODE! LET US KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS IN THE COMMENT SECTION BELOW!
