Not Brooks, if I recall it right, they met some guy in Cabo who looked like Donn and they were swimming with him in the pool. I know...it's all blurring together for me too. He was some guy they met at a bar there. Not sure about Tamra, but yes, that's ringing a faint bell in my brain too. Except she's gross so I probably looked away.

Oh, that poor dude woke up to a naked Vicki next to him.

Can you imagine a naked Vicki in your bed with the sunlight streaming in after a night of drinking tequila?

We watched the re-airing of the reunion last night. I just loved the Brooks segment! "You were protecting your lady from an eye-roll?"

Brianna is surprisingly normal for someone with such a narcissistic mother. Donn must have done a great job bringing stability into that home. Don't red flags go flying up in Vicki's brain when Brooks says he won't sit down on the couch with Brianna?

Vicki says that she is a smart business woman, that her kids don't have access to her money, so they shouldn't worry about Brooks. I don't think Brooks would have access to her bank account, but for a grifter, living off of Vicki may be enough to start.

No way in hell is Brooks "almost 45 years old."

Heather and Alexis did well to stay out of a lot of the arguments about Vicki being a hypocrite.

Looks like Brooks the southerner who is deep is thinking of suing 20/20

I am not a fan of Vicki Gunvalson or her boyfriend Brooks Ayers. I'm actually shocked that Vicki has even managed to find a boyfriend because in all the years I have watched RHOC, I'm not sure I have ever seen her smile. Oh, I'm sure she has. I mean people have died who have been on the show or perhaps there were some other times she smiled too. Injuries. That sort of thing. Anyway, 20/20 aired a segment on brooks and called him a deadbeat dad. They interviewed the mother of one of his children who made the claims. Now Brooks has hired an attorney. Brooks is going to be out of luck. Brooks' attorney says they are in negotiations with 20/20 and that they want an apology or they are going to sue. Nothing is going to happen. The baby mama says Brooks didn't pay any of the bills of the birth. His lawyer does not deny it and just says it is all part of a child custody fight. Brooks is just trying to make himself look good. Very hard to do.

From Crazy Days today.

Ha! Shouldn't that say, "Vicki has hired a lawyer for Brooks?"

That was part of Brianna's point. IF he really cared about Vicki then he would know how important her children are to her and make an effort to get to know them and let them get to know him. Instead he seems to be driving a wedge pretty successfully.

How many times have we seen smart women of a certain age end up on Oprah [or other shows] because they fell for some slick smooth talking con man? Vicki isn't immune. She is financially supporting him and pretending she isn't. It's so obvious to her family and her friends and even to us. But the Vickster is so stubborn I don't think she will kick him to the curb anytime soon.

It ought to really twist Vicki's cork when Brianna refuses to let her kid have contact with Brooks. You know it'll happen.

This has to be a Psych's field day right here. I would guess there's something that happens to women who really become tigers in their careers, maybe they don't have enough relationships because they put that part on hold for work, and so they can't spot a con when they see one? Like with Donn, sure she was technically married but she didn't pay one bit of attention to him or their marriage, so she didn't learn shit. That's maybe why she can't see Brooks for the crooks.

You aren't the only one - I think way back when I actually sided with Vickster during the big argument - I thought she had some valid points re. Brianna's hubby and how he was just as sketchy as Brooks...though in Vicki's mind new hubby sketchy, Brooks 2nd coming.

I'm not a psych but I'm thinking it's less about her career and more about her vast bottomless love tank. Vicki has always been over the top needy for demonstrations [affirmations?] of affection from everyone around her - Donn, her children, her children's friends, her mother, Tamra, everyone.

Probably something to do with her mother [it's always the mother, lol] but I do remember her begging her mother for approval etc. and her mom just getting annoyed. I think Donn finally gave up and found his own little honey on the side. I don't blame Donn - no one could satisfy that depth of constant need for being told how much they love them and keep a full time job - especially a job that involved a good amount of travel.

Now she has Crooks who has all day long to bring her coffee and Hallmark cards. In a way, it's not that different from a golddigging woman who lavishes all kinds of attention on an rich man - makes him her job and he pays for her lifestyle ala Gretchen and Jeff. Or Whorie Laurie and the Wallet. But none of these people ever just own it.

Possibly she just wants a good long summer of fucking and come fall (ha) she'll call it off and be all "the victim"?

I kind of hope so Icy. I mean the Vickster is great reality TV but Crooks is so slimey I'm surprised he doesn't leave a trail wherever he goes. In fact I think he makes Slade look good.

The only problem with that theory is didn't she say he'd been cheating for 20 years (and the other girls backed her up)? they couldn't have been married much beyond that so he gave up pretty easily I'd say.

Oh that's right. I wonder if the woman on the side was the same woman for twenty years or if it was various women?

Either way, I still don't blame Donn. I think he hung around and helped raise the kids and probably loved Vicki to some extent - just not enough for her satisfaction.

Vicki said that Donn's had a girlfriend for 20 years and the other women said they all knew. I am sure they knew from Vicki. It doesn't mean he has been cheating from the time they got married.

I wondered if Donn was impotent with the way Vicki was lamenting his inability to fill her love tank. But I guess that isn't true if he has had a girlfriend/s for many years.
