Scotch... the schedule for these events are sent out months in advance so while it may appear that she is only planning a party two days ahead of time, they have been in the planning stages for months. (FYI.. the women are given a calendar of events long before filming starts so when they are "invited" to something - they have known for several months about it).
For whatever reason, NY, OC and BH all use chauffeured cars (NY being a pain in the ass to drive, and OC and BH tend to have some distances between events and their homes and no one wants to watch a HW drive in traffic). Now if you watch the Atlanta version, you never see car services being used and some of those women live an hour away from each other. I have heard (I don't know how true this is, but it does make sense) it is because all of the women in the ATL tend to unapologetically run anywhere from 1-3 hours late for every event.
As for that $40,000 suite LVP and Kyle stayed in... it is possible that Bravo picked up a certain portion of it and LVP and Kyle might have picked up the rest. Or it is possible that Bravo picked up the entire cost because these women only stay in suites and Bravo picks up the cost of these cast trips.

Wow - Lexie...just wow. I can't fathom the money spent. But, it makes sense having a filming schedule in advance so they all know what's going on.
Okay - Kelly Dodd, is she a pot stirrer or what?

Kelly Dodd seems like she wants the spotlight, she is an odd duck. Her saying she is not in love with her husband, then the inappropriate jokes at her daughters expense. No way is she a nice person, just unhappy and thrives in drama. Hence Bravo loves her.

Kelly Dodd is a very odd duck... but I have no doubt that Shannon totally set her up.

I agree Susieqok-she loves drama! Kelly set herself up! She started on the attack as soon as she walked in the door of the party. Telling Shannon's husband that he looks like a pedophile was sooooo low. Who does that? Then she says she was just kidding. I've seen people like that. I don't associate with them. She has also been nasty to Shannon a few times before that.

Kelly doesn't appear to be very stable in a mental health way. I don't think her outrageous behavior can be blamed on too many adult beverages. She is not a good person.

Kelly is what I call a mean-spirited person, she makes mean comments and thinks she can pass them off as a joke.

According to Kelly, she has proof that Shannon set her up and will bring it to the reunion. I love when they bring paperwork to the reunion.

I am on Shannon side on this, thought Kelly was rude from the start. But I even think Shannon set Kelly up, just the wording was weird when Bravo aired it. Of course editing can do anything they want and make us think something. So that is why my mind is not completely made up yet.

<-----team Shannon. Kelly is a mean girl no doubt in my mind about that.
How is it possible that I feel a little sorry for Vicki.

"How is it possible that I feel a little sorry for Vicki." - Lilfair
Because Vicki knows how to play to the camera/storyline and gets help from Bravo with editing so that she actually has a storyline...

Bravo aired some kind of retrospective in which producers chimed in... Remember Tamras bachelorette party? Heather running behind camera men and telling producers stopped that. Well, seeing that does make for the case that Shannon, or someone wanting to add drama did set Kelly up.
( it's hard for me to believe Shannon came up with it on her own, I mean she's boring, and still looks a bit...tired. So not an instigator, that's Tamra, Vicki, but who knows?)

Something is definitely wrong with Kelly. Her face was crimson and she was making no sense. I keep wondering if she might have either an alcohol addiction or drug/alcohol addiction. Half the time, she doesn't even make sense.

Heather was killing me with the fake crying in the limousine.

Heather tweeted that she really was crying. I believe her. Kelly is really in a bad way. I feel sorry for her, she needs help. She was scary!

Kelly is such a fake, this same "mother" that was so worried over her daughter hearing she was a prostitute is the same mother at the expense of her daughter joked on tv about "tossed salad". She is such a hypocrite. She is all about what will get her tv time

Such a ridiculous going on. No one said prostitute. Yes she implied she was with him for his money but really talk about making a big todo. And of course Tamara started it. But these ladies blow everything up. how would her daughter hear that? Susie is so right.

I can understand Heather's emotional outburst after the party. She had been traveling, was overtired/stressed and was coming down from the adrenaline high from keeping up with family, etc while she had been gone.
Kelly is ridiculous and in my opinion, a hypocrite. She's pretty low class.
What did you all think of the Shannon's vow renewal surprise? I'm happy David was thoughtful enough to plan something better than last years dinner with the kids at the sports bar, but this seemed a bit awkward for everyone. I think Shannon was happy, but wouldn't you want some input into even a renewal?

I thought it was a thoughtful process for them together, Jeff Lewis made me crack up when he said he had to quit his job over all the group text.
I did see the awkwardness, but it was very sweet of him to plan for her.

Jeff is very, very good friends with Shannon. The same goes for Jenni. Ironically, he is also good friends with Vicki and Brianna. He socializes a lot with them "off-camera."

I didn't know that, how did they establish such a good friendship? He doesn't like driving down to Orange county much, LOL
I do know he doesn't like Heather at all, LOL.

Mr Lewis's closeness to Shannon isn't really a surprise as they share a similar obsession--some might call it an addiction that leads to erratic, abusive behavior--to alcohol.
Nor is Mr Lewis's aversion to Heather particularly surprising or interesting. Like many antisemites, he loves to take money from Jews but dislikes socializing with us. He especially dislikes it when we have better aestetics, and can afford those who don't cater to, the neutral riche, his niche market.

Dipo, do not quote me, but I think Jeff and Shannon became close through Heather McDonald. They are both very close friends with her. I think he became friends with Vicki and Brianna because of their "Bravolebrity."
