Vicki Gunvalson on Betrayal, Love, Loss & Coming Back From Scandal | Daring Fun & Pop Culture Goodness | Scoop.it

Liar liar pants on fire!

GwynethJones's insight:

I really just wish @vgunvalson would admit that she was looking to keep herself viable & needed a storyline and colluded with Brooks to make him seem more sympathetic to the ladies and it totally backfired!

 

She's such a hypocrite & MEAN to the production staff!

 

All that crap she gave Gretchen about Slad and yet, Brooks was worse!

 

All that crap she gave Tamara about divorce until it was HER reality.

 

All those lies she DID TELL to Support Brooks

She's such a savvy business woman and yet she doesn't know how to Google? Her friends were skeptical and protective did she thank them or scream at them - esp. when they were RIGHT all along! GAH!

 

And how about how she treated her "best friend" her daughter when her excellent BS bell was ringing? [smh]

I love/hate this woman.

Of course I'll watch RHOC, I've been with them from the very first!

My comment to the author of the article (& book too for that matter!)

 

Dear Ryan, Thank you for this!  I've paused episode 9 and went Googling for an answer and Your well written treatise....this....came up. I threw caution to the wind, overlooking spoilers to find my answer.

My question: Is Quentin always and continually as aggravatingly annoying in the book as he is sometimes on the show?

Like Penny, (who is BTW amazingly bada$$!)

I want to knife him. Virgo blade or shiv, doesn't matter. At times I would even use a sharpened toothbrush for his whiny, unwashed hair dithering and hesitating when he should just OWN IT!

Does that drive you as cray cray in the books or do you learn to still love & accept him as we (assumption) did the angsty moody annoyingly oblivious thick-headed Harry Potter even during and after The Order of the Phoenix?

IE: Should I download

these books already!!??


Because right now I should be blogging, doing laundry, sorting my recyclables, I should have eaten breakfast, or lunch, or working on my book, but instead I'm power draining my DVR of this AMAZING show!


Thanks so much & Cheers!
