Real Housewives of Orange County: Is Kelly Dodd carrying this show or ruining it?

The Real Housewives of Orange County are still in Arizona terrorizing the local zen community.  What will conspire this week?

The lights are out on The Real Housewives of Orange County cast trip and all hell has broken loose.  Emily Simpson compares the lights being out on their Arizona compound to The Blair Witch Project and Tamra Judge really fits the bill.  Her first starring role!

When the doctor asks if Shannon wants to press charges on Kelly, the look on Tamra’s face is priceless.  You can tell she just loves the idea of that potential drama.

Kelly Dodd tries to prove her innocence by whacking Gina Kirschenheiter over the head while Tamra and Shannon Storms Beador are at the hospital.  I’m like 99% sure that hitting Gina on the head does not demonstrate that she is innocent in hitting Shannon.  Kelly calls Tamra to find out where they are and Kelly answers the phone, “What the f–k is wrong with you, Tamra?”  Pot, meet kettle.

I’m no doctor

But I’m pretty sure if Shannon actually had a concussion, be it “little” or big, the doctor would not tell her it was okay to drink.  Shannon came back to the house with her hospital bracelet on and immediately started drinking skinny spicy margaritas.  What a trooper. Kelly says that Shannon wants people to feel sorry for her and she might actually be right about that.

The alliances have officially formed

Emily, Kelly, and Braunwyn vs Gina, Shannon, and Tamra.  And Vicki Gunvalson is just on any team that will have her.   The ladies aren’t just divided by houses (the “nice” house with the mean girls and the “not nice” house with the nice girls) but are severely divided on their opinion of Kelly’s behavior.

Kelly is simultaneously starting drama with almost every RHOC cast member while also trying to get herself out of trouble with every RHOC cast member.  What will she do next week?

The Real Housewives of Orange County is on Bravo at 9 PM every Tuesday.
