Has this been done already? If so, I have to add these two things and see if anyone agrees. Keeping in mind that I think that Brooks is probably opportunistic scum and Alexis' Jim is, well, a complete d-bag AND I have watched only on and off this season....I still feel that:
1. I got kind of annoyed when they shamed Jim into having his sit down with Terry right then and there and then got mad when he left after being ambushed. I mean, the dude told you that was what was going to happen and what he didn't want to be involved in and that is exactly what happened. Tamra and Heather had no business being in that discussion (unless again I missed something from a past episode). I really don't like Jim, but I get why he left (although not why he left the wife he was supposedly defending there snort). I missed any sort of discussion between him and Alexis about the party or how she explained his absence though.
2. Tamra did roll her eyes at Vicki when she brought up Alexis during the toast, did she not?? I mean when Brooks called her out and said that she didn't want to go there -- I kind of understood why he said that. I don't think it was the "evil eye" but I definitely saw the look that she gave - or again did I miss something lol? I mean what followed was sheer ridiculousness, but I felt like Tamra fed the flames more so than Brooks did b/c she was the one getting out of control, he was just kind of confirming what she saw. I don't like him at all either, but this just seemed like Bravo made up drama to me a little...

1. Jim was being Jim. He could certainly handle himself and he would have gotten some kudos from me if he said what he felt. His family signed up for this mess, he should not act so unaware of what this silly dynasty is all about.
2. Tamera probably did roll her eyes but really a toast to Alexis, come on Vicki! Brooks did not need to call her out and he kept whispering stuff to Vicki. He did not need to continue talking about it. Tamera did not need to get all crazy which made Vicki go batshit. What was most disgusting to me is the was Vicki treats her daughter and calls Brooks her man. UGH. He bought you a fur that you paid for, you can have him.
3. The whole party was ridic. Her speech was stupid and I don't know why she called Vicki back for that. Stooopid!
I don't blame Jim for leaving. Sure, he signed up for the show, but he could have had a respectful conversation with just Terry. I can kind of see Heather wanting to be involved but seriously, Tamra needed to stay out of it. That girl is always stirring the pot.
I think Brooks and Tamra were both wrong. Brooks is a creeper, Tamra blew things out of proportion and Vicki is either oblivious or in denial. They all deserve each other.
Yeah, I watched from bed half asleep so I think maybe I missed some of Brooks' whisperings - I mean he did stir the pot totally by calling her out, but she did do what he accused her of doing. And yes the whole "my lady" and "my man" business drives me freaking batty. I also think Vicki was completely out of line with what she said to her son-in-law ... BUT I am kind of surprised by his attitude with her too. IDK, I guess in my fights with my mom, if my DH gets involved, he is still pretty respectful of her and her place even when she goes off on him (it happens)
1. Jim is a creep, but he did try and have an alone time and the rest of them should have stayed away. BUT it was at a party...they should have had the talk alone before hand.
2. Tamara did roll her eyes but she certainly did not give the evil eye. Brooks is a freak and creepy and he should have also minded his own business. He kept stirring the pot this time until tamara unleashed.
3. Brooks is a creepy creep and vicki is blinded. The way she talks to her daughter and is isolating herself from everyone because of this sleaze is pretty bad.
I have no doubt a producer set up the Terry/Jim talk and then sent everyone else over there. It's the Bravo way. I also know they sent Sarah with Alexis on purpose. That girl was bonus drama all season long.
Tamera rolled her eyes because Vicki was being ridiculous and an AW. If I was Tamera, I would have owned up to it, though the drama may not have been as explosive that way. So, uh, good for her? Vicki hasn't matured past the age of 22. Poor Brianna has to be absolutely exhausted dealing with her.

Brooks is a classic opportunist. He KNEW what he was doing when he made the "evil eye" remark. He's not a dummy, and he knows that in order to keep his sugar mama, he needs to isolate her from the women in her life who would tell her he's not a decent guy. Tamra's no saint, but I believe he intentionally made a remark that he knew would set her off and drive that wedge between Vicki and Tamra that he needed to continue to stay in her life unfettered. I'm no fan of Taliban Jim but I totally saw an ambush there. That conversation should've taken place off-camera and been only between the two men. The Sarah drama was too much. That crazy dingbat is angling too hard to be on next season. I don't want a piece. Speaking of Brooks, did you guys see the 20/20 special last night? Brooks' second baby mama was on it, talking about how he never paid child support and she couldn't go after him because he disappeared when his son was 6 moths old but now that he's out and about on national television...game on!
"This prick is asking for someone here to bring him to task Somebody give me some dirt on this vacuous mass so we can at last unmask him I'll pull the trigger on it, someone load the gun and cock it While we were all watching, he got Washington in his pocket."

Omg! I can't believe I missed this!
I was annoyed (more than usual) when Vickie cornered her new son in law and tried to get him to help her patch things up with Brianna, especially since she's been dogging him. Ugh. I can't stand that woman.

This is a great recap!
I was wondering if anyone noticed those 2 creepy looking guys standing thisclose to Tamra a couple of times? Once when she was talking to Brianna and once when she was talking to Gretchen. One guy had longer hair and the other was tall/big with a beard. They totally creeped me out! They just stood there listening and smiling. So weird.
