As of now, Peggy Sulahian has contributed two things to Real Housewives of Orange County: her confusion about idioms and pinching Meghan Edmonds’ lips shut. Not only that, but the rest of the cast is still so caught up in drama from previous seasons that no one even found Peggy grabbing Meghan’s mouth- the one outrageous thing Peggy has done so far- to be remotely offensive .
Two episodes ago, Peggy’s major story line was a drive to mail a letter…. instead of just walking down the driveway to her own mailbox. This week, she sat on the side while the rest of the ladies went at it during Kelly Dodd’s party before she tried to shade Shannon Beador by saying she is “something else.” Of course that got Shannon a little bit riled up, but she ended up getting into a screaming match with Lydia McLaughlin…. again.
Peggy shared her thoughts on the last RHOC episode in her Bravo blog. She wrote, “Oh, the volleyball game. First off, it was not something I was looking forward to because I was not yet completely healed. But I didn’t want to turn down Kelly Dodd’s invitation. The volleyball game turned into yelling match later. Kelly mentioned that I am confused and don’t speak well, perhaps it is because I don’t know what her ploy is? She seems to stir the pot, befriend everyone and say, ‘I love you all,’ but all the while whispering, ‘you know so and so said such and such.’ Exactly what she accused Megan King Edmonds of, huh!”
The newest cast member pointed out, “Continually, I am reminded that I don’t know what happened that began this division or the intricacies of their relationships, but I don’t think that if we all sat down, they could clearly define them either.” This probably valid. At this point, the beef between these people is just so convoluted.
Peggy theorized, “They have piled on so many layers of emotional baggage to this Vicki Gunvalson vs. Tamra Judge fight, that if everyone stepped away, I am sure it would clear itself up.” I don’t know about that, but she does make a lot of sense with this one: “But as stated by others, I don’t think making peace is what Shannon Beador wants. Lydia McLaughlin might be on to something, if Vicki and Tamra reconnect, is Shannon the odd man out?” Was Shannon glued to Tamra’s side during that argument because of her BFF loyalty or because she was threatened by the idea of Vicki and Tamra making up (for the millionth time).
Once again Peggy made it clear that she’s never watched this show when she stated, “This constant bickering and elementary school behavior just needs to end. Either confront each other and resolve the issues or make a clean cut!” If the cast members cut out the people they didn’t like, there would be no show. In real life, Peggy makes a very valid point. In the context of reality TV, not so much.
Peggy wondered, “So why does Shannon yell so much? It’s never about Shannon, but it seems to always end with her.” Projection much? Nevertheless, I will always be grateful for Shannon chucking that full plate of food at The Quiet Woman. That was definitely the only good best moment of the season so far.
She continued, “While we were sitting on the table, both Lydia and I noticed Shannon squeezing Kelly’s leg in disapproval. Lydia thought it was about her, but it was actually about me. I chose not to demean her as I don’t know her well enough, but as she seems to be dragging me into her conflicts.”
Peggy said, “As I said before, it’s like being with children who whisper at the table. It is fairly rude of Kelly to invite me into her home, be sitting at the table with me, and as Shannon admitted, talk about me.” Kelly was reacting to the comments Peggy was making. Kelly was not just talking shit about Peggy in front of her. Nevertheless, Peggy warned, “She had better realize that she is messing with the wrong person. Her pointing of the finger is going to get her in trouble.” Let’s hope so. This season is in major need of some excitement.
