The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 12 Episode 4 Recap: We Have a New Puppet Master Now

How did the ladies manage to move on from the latest big bust-up?


With another party, of course. 



On The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 12 Episode 4, Vicki found herself reeling in a fun new ally in her quest to destroy her fellow housewives, and we’re totally along for the ride. 


When the episode got underway, the ladies were still reeling from the drama at the close of last week’s episode. In case you missed it: Kelly Dodd appeared at a dinner party, and things got heated between her and Shannon. She essentially called Shannon fat. 


Tamra was shocked that Kelly even felt the need to attend the dinner, but Shannon was very open about herself being responsible for some of the drama.


While Shannon was remorseful for her actions, Kelly was happy with the things she said. Despite all of her flaws, Kelly makes for good TV, and that’s about all we can ask for on this show. 



Lydia threw a lavish movie-themed party that found Vicki and Peggy getting closer together. With all of the drama going down with the ladies, it’s not uncommon for one to want a new ally. 


Vicki has proven she can be opportunistic at times and felt like going after Peggy to fight her battles was a good move for her. It was. 


Vicki was unsurprised to hear about what happened at the dinner party and noted that the Housewives would “be your friend, then turn on you.” That’s a pretty rock-solid assessment. 


Vicki then pushed to learn more about the big cancer scare Peggy had, and just like that, we were reminded of the big cancer scam that followed Vicki around a few years ago. 


The veteran housewife then took to her confessional to reveal that Peggy should be keeping all of this private. But Vicki wanted someone else to be on her side in her war with the other ladies, so she will just have to do. 



Elsewhere, Kelly went to visit Meghan, and the ladies tried to focus on repairing their relationship, but it seemed apparent that they were still very much against one another. 


The reason? Meghan quizzed Kelly about hitting bone town with another man, and Kelly was not entirely amused by it. Kelly retaliated by telling Meghan her husband was cheating on her. 


Yes, they’re still very toxic, but it makes for good TV, so who are we to judge?


Kelly then brought Vicki along to her vaginal rejuvenation appointment and thought it would be a good idea to speak about things being inserted into her. 


While all of this was going down, Tamra tried to fix some tension in her family. She turned to her son Ryan to cry some tears of joy that he was getting along with her ex-husband. 



He noted that it was good the dude was hard on him because it pushed him to succeed, or something. 


Tamra found herself thinking a lot about family this week, and that was because she was invited along to a dinner party for a documentary about estranged family members. 


Her father and brother went along with her, but her mother kept her distance. We also got the reveal that Tamra recently bumped into Sidney and that they shared a hug. 


So, maybe there is hope for them. Tamra’s relationship with her family has always been a bit all over the place throughout her life, but it sounds like things are on good terms for a change. 


What do you think of all the drama for the ladies?

Siesta Key Season 1 Episode 1 Recap: A Summer Like No Other

Siesta Key is a reality TV series that’s essentially Laguna Beach with a fresh cast and locale, and it’s a perfect guilty pleasure for the summer. 


On Siesta Key Season 1 Episode 1, friends new and old descended on Siesta Key for a big event: Rich kid, Alex was throwing a party of epic proportions for his birthday. 


When the episode got underway, we got to find out the gist of what there is to know about the people of Siesta Key, and there were a little too much characters to keep track of for our liking. 



Bella Thorne lookalike Juliette opened the episode with a narration to confirm she has a thing going on with Alex and that his ex-girlfriend, Madisson was back in town. 


Juliette was cautious because she wanted things with her and Alex to flourish and she worried that she was going to wind up in a love triangle down to the fact that he and Madisson have a history that dates all the way back to school. 


It was a little much for an opening number, but it set the tone for the episode ahead. Jealousy is rampant on teen dramas, and Siesta Key is no different. 


Alex’s best friend, Chloe was the only one who was semi-likable. While her fellow cast members appeared very awkward on-screen, Chloe was a natural. 


Maybe they all had jitters because it was the first episode, but Chloe definitely seems like the one who will be the glue that holds everyone together, and that’s easy enough to get on board with. 


She works in a beach bar and has a thing for Brandon. She spoke him up very well to new girl Kelsey, and it was obvious Kelsey thought about laughing when she actually got to meet him. 



Kelsey is smoking hot, and everyone wanted to be her friend because who doesn’t like a hot friend to hang around with?


Alex looked like he was undressing her with his eyes across the bar when they first met. Chloe then practically forced him to invite her to his birthday bash. 


Kelsey has a boyfriend named Garret who went to school with the rich kids, but apparently kept himself to himself. Something tells us he’s going to have some deep, dark secrets that will be brought to the forefront as the series goes on. 


When it came to the party, everyone was fawning over Alex, and it was probably because he (or MTV!) were paying for all the drinks. 


All eyes turned to Kelsey when she walked in because they were enamored with her swimsuit. However, Juliette was instantly jealous and asked Alex to introduce them to each other. 


Juliette then proceeded to lick Alex’s face all over while everyone watched. Kelsey was not amused by it, and Juliette made herself look like an ass. Aren’t we supposed to root for the narrator?!


Juliette then turned her attention to Madisson to find out whether anything was going to happen between her and Alex. Madisson shut her down, but it didn’t stop Juliette saying they could hang out and be friends.



Yeah, that’s never going to happen. Madisson is in love with Alex. If her looking at old pictures of them together does not prove that, then we don’t know what will. 


The biggest moment of the episode was when Chloe face timed Alex, and her face looked busted. We don’t know what happened, but something tells us she may have fought with her friend over having a thing for Brandon. 


All told, Siesta Key was a bit of a slog to get through. MTV is trying desperately trying to return to its former glory, and with a few tweaks, the show could become a flagship. 



The episode would have benefited by giving less back story on some of the periphery characters. We also could have done without meeting the parents so soon. 


Either way, we’re hooked and will be bringing you recaps of the new show on a weekly basis!


What did you think of this frothy new series? Are you in for more?
