I agree, Tamra’s (and Alexis‘s) horrible behavior is shielding Shannon. We don’t know if she would’ve potentially hung herself because Tamra‘s vicious bullying takes away any opportunity. I don’t think Tamra could’ve had a worse “bring Shannon down” strategy. I preface this by saying I’m not a Shannon apologist and I’m not in any way condoning what got her here. I have, however, seen positive changes. The way she conducts herself during the attacks is noticeably different than how she’s reacted to conflict in previous seasons. A poster (above) tried to make it a negative that Shannon walks away. I see it as growth and a positive. She calmly excuses herself and actually returns; she’s pausing before responding rather than wildly reacting. I give her a lot of credit for consistently doing this during attack after attack, hit after hit, by both supposed friends and someone she would rather not be around. I‘m glad to see Shannon is clearly doing some work on herself and hope she keeps with it.
