Lauri: Friends and Family

10011156

Gretchen and Slade caught wind of Brooks' own child support issues and immediately called hypocrite, considering her past habits of badgering Slade about his bills. Combine that with Slade mentioning Vicki looked like a certain muppet, and you got a recipe for disaster at Tamra's '80s-themed bunco party. Watch Vicki defend herself, and her man, again here.

Briana may have read texts between Vicki and Brooks in 2007, but we didn't meet her man until the start of Season 7. She unveiled him when he quickly dropped into the gang's painting party, and then hit the lanes with her for Heather's Champs and Bowling Shindig.
10011166

There's a metaphor about strikes and their relationship in there somewhere. . .
10011171

At first, Tamra seemed fine with Brooks. Look at them cutting up in the limo.
10011176

Once upon a time Tamra and Eddie and Vicki and Brooks were just two happy couples that went on vacation together.
10011181

Of course it wasn't exactly drama-free. When Tamra thought Vicki and Eddie were being a little too flirty, she grabbed Brooks hand and forced him to grab her boob. Vicki took it mostly in stride, Eddie not so much. Watch the Watch the unfortunate clutch again.
10011186

Things leveled out on Tamra's birthday trip and the gang managed to have a great time at dinner (specifically once they found their hotel rooms). Over dinner they even learned Brooks ass or boobs preference (answer: both).
10011191

Tamra, Eddie, and Vicki certainly seemed charmed by Brooks' relaxing Southern ways during Tamra's birthday weekend.
10011196

The couple that dines together, stays together.
10011201

Brooks was always great about speaking Vicki's love language. She needs affirmations!
10011206

Why does Vicki love Brooks? Perhaps it's because of the many affirmations he gives her.
10011211

The two even shared a stolen moments on the lanes.
10011216

Brooks even tagged along when it was time to support Gretchen's turn in The Pussycat Dolls.
10011221

Would a "don'tcha wish your boyfriend was hot like Brooks" joke here be too much? Nope.
10011226

When Vicki was working on tidying up her assets, Brooks was there to let her know that wherever she decided to live, he would be there to live with her.
10011231

The shindig was also the first time Michael meet Brooks. He was a little more chill about the intro, if chill means not caring at all.
10011236

When Briana eloped with Ryan, Vicki decided to throw a big bash -- leading many of the 'Wives wondering just what she was going to announce. Besides telling the world Briana was hitched, it also served as a perfect time to introduce her new manfriend to the family. Briana felt a touch awkward about the whole thing. See her make the best of it here.
10011241

Briana had her doubts about her mother's relationship, sitting her down and wondering if perhaps things were progressing with Brooks too fast. Vicki defended herself by saying that Briana and Ryan moved fast. Then Brook's history came up, and both gals got exceptionally heated.
10011246

Brooks, knowing that the best way to see Vicki is to visit her at work, brought Vicki lunch at her office. The pair did their best to sort out Briana's issues with Brooks and how they could move forward as a couple in the wake of their fight.
10011251

Vicki loved Brooks just the way he was -- but she didn't mind if his chompers improved. Watch the consult for his new grill again.
10011256

Seriously, see more of the chomper consultation. It's worth revisiting.
10011261

And then it was the fight that nearly broke up besties Tamra and Vicki for good. Brooks accused Tamra of giving him the evil eye -- and the rest of the party did not go well.
10011266

At the Season 7 reunion, the Housewives were ready to discuss all things Brooks. Gretchen wanted to know why Vicki was allowed to be a hypocrite now that she was dating. Vicki attempted to apologize, to no avail.
10011271

More damaging was Briana mentioning that perhaps her parents haven't always been faithful. Vicki admitted that Donn was dating while they were married, but then Tamra said that Cabo got pretty wild (alleging that Vicki left her a message saying she woke up with a man in her bed).
10011276

At the start of Season 8, Vicki was single and nervous about heading to group functions sans date. However, her solo status wouldn't last long -- and would always be called into question by the ladies.
10011281

Just why did Ryan and Briana want Brooks out of the house? Ryan gave one reason to Vicki's brother, mentioning an odd exchange with Brooks about the worth of some "women of the evening."
10011286

Over dinner, Brooks and Vicki tried to forge ahead with their relationship, but Brooks was tired of doing his best to win Briana over. Vicki broke down mentioning that she felt pulled between the two. Brooks' response: it's Vicki's decision, and he can't be the one to decide who matters more to her.
10011296

Vicki attempted to balance rekindling her relationship with Brooks with her time with Briana, turning down a chance to hang out with him to babysit little Troy while Briana and Ryan went to a Marine ball.
10011306

Remember the time that Terry invited Brooks to Lydia's salsa party and shocked Vicki? The dancing might have helped rekindle their romance, but the spiciest revelation was Lauri saying that she had heard Brooks had been entertaining a young (very young) lady with some salacious ways.
10011311

At Tamra's dressing shopping day, Lauri dropped her bomb on Vicki and she reacted as one would imagine -- laying her head down in shock and by spending a fair amount of time crying in the store window.
10011316

In the wake of Lauri's accusations, Vicki went on a business trip with Brooks -- testing out the vodkas he encouraged her to create. Vicki confronted him about porn star kefuffle and his defense of them being broken up -- and that he didn't actually date this person was fine for her. For the moment they remained friends only.
10011321

At her Winter Wonderland party, Vicki took the opportunity to tell Briana that she and Brooks were back together -- and that Briana would have to be more understanding of their relationship (and its need to occur in the house). Unfortunately, it wasn't long between the party and the reunion. . .
10011326

At the Season 8 Reunion, Briana lobbied many an accusation at Brooks -- that he talked down to Vicki via text, that he goes by the nickname "Girth Brooks," and (most shockingly) that she has a tape of Brooks encouraging Ryan to hit her. The allegations put Vicki in a place to choose sides, but Brooks stepped in and "exiting stage right from this family." Watch his emotional break up with Vicki again here.

When Season 9 started, we weren't sure about where Vicki and Brooks were...until Vicki revealed to her therapist that she's still trying to keep both her man and her daughter happy. We guess he's still in the picture...
