She actually makes Ramona look like the sane one. Way to go AVIVA



Exactly! I also deal with anxiety, but I don't drag other people into it, expect them to throw me parties, and throw fits when they don't. I'm thinking back to earlier in the season when Aviva said she was overindulged as a child. I think we're seeing that now.

Reid isn't going to tolerate her for very long. Remember, they have 2 very young children together. Once they get older, I'm sure he'll either be gone completely or have a "kept woman" on the side that he spends most of his time with.
Yeah well, I went to beauty school and *I* have better manners than she does! I also speak 3 languages: pleasant, snarky, and I will rip your freaking head off if you don't leave me alone. kidding...

Frankly if I had been there and had been feeling my spirits, I would have gotten a bad case of the giggles. She was clearly off her rocker and nothing short of a ticker tape parade would have made her happy. Pop some corn and watch the show. Thank you Bravo for giving us Kelly v2.

I SOOOO see Reid having his own Ashley Dupree. He deserves it.

My brother went to Vassar - big deal. Over-priced college. The dorms are nasty. The buildings are old.. I guess, I can brag for my brother. MY BROTHER WENT TO VASSAR YA'LL...Oh, I lived 2 miles from the College, hung out there a lot! She needs to shut up about it...

I work with children who have missing arms, fingers, legs. You know, they never seem to talk about it. They do normal things as best as they can. She uses this as a crutch. Her fear of flying - well others have the fear. She over plays it a bit much. She bugs me the most... She's the biggest drama queen on the show. And most couldn't stand Ramona. This chic is on my bug list...

I was really surprised that Aviva ended up being such a jerk! I thought from the previews it is going to be Ramona and Sonja!! I think Aviva was completely hyped up from her anxiety and just lost it, and kept on going.

Ramona's actions didn't help, or Luanne's denial of EVERYTHING! The entire show was a catastrophe that you just can't stop watching.

Exactly. That is what was nuts about last night's episode.

I agree 100%! She said to Sonja and Ramona that she doesn't need Pinot Grigio, she just needs Reid as if she was superior. She needs him to a co-dependent level and should get therapy to learn to control her thoughts instead of allowing them to terrorize her. Other people with disabilities are out there in the world living. I just bought a book by a guy with no arms and legs who travels the WORLD giving lectures on spirit! I mean, I'm sympathetic but c'mon already, the accident was 40 years ago. Work it out.

I think Heather may have been shocked by Luann's behavior and couldn't help hersef. I am sorry but Luann is way to old to blame anything on being very intoxicated. I have been plenty drunk ( in my younger years, at 46 I no longer get drunk) and it never changed my committment to my partner!

I guess I just have a different point of view...
We are all entitled to our points of view. There wouldn't be much discussion if everyone agreed on everything.

To be clear I wasn't saying Luann cheated because she was drunk, a sober Luann would probably still cheat considering how easy it was for her, the guy was basically a stranger, it may even be part of a pattern. I just don't think that if she were sober she would have brought the guy back to the house, alcohol can affect common sense. We don't know what her commitment level is, she may have been considering a break up for awhile, and this is her way out. Who knows? Who cares? I can't stand the woman.

I still believe Heather just likes being in everyone's business, it's not just this, it just seems to be her basic personality and way of getting attention.

Exactly, all her anxieties and dependencies have probably gotten her special treatment all her life. She can blame all her issues on the tragic accident which makes it hard for people to tell her that her behavior is not okay, no one wants to minimize losing a body part. Most likely in situations where a parent should tell their child, "enough, you need to grow and learn how to cope by yourself" her parents continued to coddle her. She may say she wants to be treated normally, but she clearly doesn't, on one hand she wants to be seen as brave for surviving losing her leg, but on the other hand everyone is supposed to indulge and excuse her when most people probably wouldn't if she hadn't had the accident, and lost part of her leg. She needs professional help, she is putting far too much pressure on her family and friends to take care of her.

it was very telling when LouAnn was on the phone telling her friend(in French) not to say anything about Tome being with her last night. Then she said,"I never change" --pretty much explained everything-to me

I missed that, that's very interesting. Weren't there rumors of possible cheating on her husband in earlier seasons before the divorce? I seem to remember the rumors were of her living quite a "party lifestyle" with drugs and men. I don't put much stock in specific rumors, but there is often a grain of truth that starts it all. I have a feeling she would be much more interesting, and maybe even more likable if she had never adopted the stupid "class and manners" persona.
