Double-digit shot consumption, nebulizers, and swimming with sharks – oh my! This week Shannon Beador took Vicki Gunvalson’s strict instructions to “whoop it up” on day two of the Real Housewives of Orange County’s trip to Mo’orea. And Shannon says it turned out to be “one of the funniest nights ever – and there were still so many things you didn’t see!!!”
“I have watched this episode a few times and laughed so hard all weekend!” begins Shannon. “I have to say that our second day in Mo’orea was one of the most fun ‘girl days’ I have ever had!!!” Although things didn’t start off so rosy, given that Shannon began the trip sick, and broke her nebulizer. “My nebulizer blew up and I had to rent a Tahitian one that I couldn’t figure out how to use! I had sinus surgery years ago and now the drainage goes to my lungs — I cough every day and it is a nightmare! I hate using a nebulizer!!!”

After the shock of Tamra Judge’s topless swimming wore off (“Love that Tamra has the guts to swim topless! I never will…,” admits Shannon) the ladies enjoyed a mellow first night in Mo’orea. But she “was concerned for Lizzie [Rovsek] that we were all intruding in a very personal moment as she took her pregnancy test. She was a trooper! I know she will get pregnant when the time is right!”
Shannon says she was ready for action on day two, though, thanks to a little help from her trainer back home. “On our second day in Mo’orea I was ready to rock and roll! I took my amino acid drink from Dr. Tim and I was raring to go!”
Not a fan of swimming with sea creatures that can kill you, Shannon shares, “I assumed we would be with trained sharks and the stingrays would have their stingers off. I was most concerned about the stingrays and kept asking if our guide had an antidote. It was really hot and as much as I am afraid of the fish, I had to cool off and get into the water. I never let go of James our guide. I finally convinced Vicki to come in and at that point I couldn’t stop laughing! I was afraid to touch the bottom so I straddled Vicki the whole time.” Shannon says we didn’t see her “‘titanic’ moment,” in which Heather Dubrow was trying to yank Shannon into the ocean while Vicki was attempting to pull her back on to the boat. (RHOC metaphor?)
After stopping for “fattening pizza” on the way home, Shannon confesses she’s glad she stayed back at the resort with Tamra and Vicki. “I decided to hang back at the hotel after our shark swimming day because I always have fun with Vicki and Tamra. I’m so glad I did! It was one of the funniest nights ever — and there were still so many things you didn’t see!!! I should have known I was in for a wild night when Vicki tried to his pour straight vodka into my glass in her room. And when she chose to drive the golf cart into the restaurant I couldn’t stop laughing! The staff at the restaurant was panicking as they saw us drive up the ramp!”
Apparently, messing with the resort staff – namely their long-suffering waiter – just added to the fun. “Our waiter didn’t understand English and it was pretty hilarious,” Shannon continues. “We couldn’t understand his name either, so Tamra just started calling him Tiramisu. His take on a Fireball was vodka, ice, and a lime wheel on the side. On the first round he called our drink a Fireball, the second round a Fireblast, the third round a Firebush, and I can’t remember any more rounds after that!” Ah, but when the three drunken ladies ended up fully clothed in the pool later on, didn’t the waiter get the last laugh? #GoTiramisu!
Apparently, Heather got more involved in whooping it up than the cameras revealed too! Even if it was behind the bar: “You didn’t get to see Heather go behind the bar to make her rendition of a Fireball! From what I can recall, it was quite good! Rumor has it we almost reached double digits in the shot department which I never, ever do, but I was on vacation and it’s ok to be wild and zany like that sometimes!! And ending up in the pool — wouldn’t have had it any other way!!! Love that it ended with Vicki saying ‘I think we had one too many drinks!'”
Shannon’s blog promises, “There’s more Tahitian fun next week!” But from the looks of previews, it seems there’s some Tahitian snark in store for these ladies too.
