Of course the OC ladies are only in Jamaica for a few minutes before doing something culturally insensitive. They arrive with novelty dreadlocks in their carry-on and “yeah mon!” on the tips of their tongues. It’s not a great trip for Shannon - she is going through a divorce, and new girls Gina Kirschenheiter and Emily Simpson are ready to confront her for the frosty reception she has given them.

Gina complains that Shannon never asks after her, but Shannon says she is going through a divorce and just has too much going on. However, Emily points out that Gina is also going through a divorce and has three children under six.

This gives Tamra the opening she’s been waiting for, berating Shannon for calling her too frequently and being too negative. Kelly helpfully suggests that Shannon get on antidepressants. Also wanting to be helpful, Vicki then chimes in that maybe Shannon is an alcoholic. Why won’t Shannon let these women help her?

Later seasons of Housewives would be invited to stay in opulent hotels in far-flung locations, but on this trip to Vegas, the ladies are staying off the strip. Seventeen miles off the strip, in Red Rock.

In 2007, every single person living in Orange County, California was “in real estate” (unless, of course, they were in energy drinks) and so it’s to be expected that before the gals even reached San Diego, Jeana Keough and Vicki Gunvalson are barking at each other across the limo about a security deposit.
