I was just going to comment that the best thing to come out of this OC season is “Noncologist”.

And I love how she says her tagline with her classic Shannon Beador unhinged, manic, warbling exclamation.

That thread, I’m dying!

No one compares to Slade. Making up a stupid name like Slade is enough to put him at the top.

Remember when he “bought” her a fur coat?!

It’s a toss-up - don’t forget Brooks has neglected kids, too.

Yeah, some of them are just really lame. I think that’s why I like Shannon’s, it’s clever and unexpected and her delivery cracks me up.

This link lists every tagline for every Housewife by season. Some of them I’m just like “lolwut”

I went through a similar thing with my dad, only his was lung cancer and he passed away when I was ten. Watching my 6’4” beast of a dad pretty much disintegrate in front of you pretty much makes you hope every cancer faker ends up in hell.

What’s particularly interesting to me is how he forges on and, by virtue of his commitment to the lies, exploits the average person’s reluctance to suspect that anyone would lie about something so big and so grave.
He created just enough plausible deniability and provided just enough specifics (which are actually…

Your mom *is* a hero—a superhero, in fact. So glad to hear she’s still going strong almost 30 years after treatment.

Shannon started on the show just last season and as part of all of her organic living, Easter/Western medicine lifestyle, she is a proponant of feng shui. I forget the exact scene (c’mon, someone else here has got to know) but she talked about how if you put fruit in a bowl, it should always be nine pieces. Then, at…

Aw thank you NomNom!! I gotta say, through it all, and even know, she’s one tough broad. Her hair all grew back, and she has this cool-ass spiky hair style. Some lady chased her into a CVS to ask her what product she uses.

*hugs* To both of you.

In 1987, when I was 10 years old, my mother had stage 3 non-Hodgkins lymphoma. Legitimately. I was TEN and watched my mom go through months of chemotherapy, and then 11 rounds of radiation treatment. I watched her down dozens of pills, many of which were not covered by insurance. I watched her lose all of her hair and…

Or she paid him to say it :(

The guy is an idiot. He was living the high life on Vicky’s money. I’ll bet anything his new press release, where he basically absolves Vicky of knowing anything, is a desperate attempt to get her back. Sadly enough she will probably go back to him.

One thing which I have not seen discussed is the question of whether Mr Ayres or Ms Gunvalson committed insurance fraud. She apparently makes a small fortune pimping insurance, and pushes it on all in her sphere of orbit, and he would have insurance coverage of his “disease”.

Shannon and her truth always comes out line. I just can't. She's quickly becoming my favorite OC housewife.

Yeah, but if we didn’t have Brooks we wouldn’t have this thread and never would have learned the word “non-cologist, so I’m good.
