I’m not quite over seeing little Kane’s split open head earlier this week. Click here if you missed that. But I am excited for tonight’s episode of Don’t Be Tardy because we have cute babies and the beach in Destin! Let’s see how long this five hour trip takes them this year. Last year the trip was three times longer than it should have been.
We start with another scene designed to make some of y’all clutch your pearls. KJ is outside the property and he buzzes from the gate to ask to be let in. He says “open the door” several times and Kim says for him to say please. So he says, ” Open the fucking gate, please!” Hilarity ensues.
The gang is planning their annual trip to Destin. Kim tries to explain that she thinks the twins are still too little to go to Mexico. Tracey, the best damn thing to happen to this show since Sweetie, says to Kim, “True and the child organ trade there is huge!” I don’t believe a word Tracey says. But then in her talking head she says “truth circle” and well that is like an oral pinky swear so I googled it. And what do you know? Just another reason to avoid Mexico which have unfortunately doing for a few years now. It’s not a place I feel comfortable traveling to alone and even if I did, you really can’t see the real Mexico as it’s only safe(ish) inside the resorts so you may as well be in Puerto Rico or the Dominican Republic (not particularly safe either…). 
Kim’s wigs need their own seatbelts so sadly one of the kids has to stay behind. I say leave KJ home alone with the cameras running. A compromise is reached of taking three cars and a U-Haul trailer. Brielle finally gets to bring Slade on the trip this year. He’s driving her Jeep. Tracey is driving a car with Ariana and her friend from school. Kim and Kroy have the twins, and I guess Kash and KJ. Kash seems to get lost in the shuffle a lot.
Kroy’s agent calls on the drive down. He doesn’t announce the team yet. By the time they get to Destin it is dark and the babies are all crying. Kim says the rented a different house this year because last year they were besieged with paparazzi. Because she called them and gave them the address. The house is huge and has seven bedrooms yet Brielle and Ariana are still fighting over rooms. Apparently, kids today refuse to sleep in a twin bed. Kaia seems to cry a lot. Brielle says she is a virgin. Even Kim does not believe that.
The next day is a super nice beach day! Tracey wants a new tattoo. The ones she has are hideous… some sort of smiley faced stick figure a dove that is bleeding because its wing was cut off (that may have been a skull), some sort of nymph in chains. They are all horrible. So Kim is going to design her a new one. A pink swear is made that Tracey will get whatever tattoo Kim draws for her. Back at the house, everyone draws a tattoo option for Tracey. Slade, trying to design something she likes asks what kinds of things she likes. She says, “gay sex.” I don’t think I could draw that. Slade offers a unicorn with a penis for the horn. Rejected. But Kroy drew a leprechaun with a frying pan in one hand and a knife in the other. We have a winner. It looks like they will wait until they are back in the ATL to get the tattoo.
Shun arrives at the beach. Shun is terrified of water. So obviously a water fight must happen.
After the beach, Kroy pretends that he is moving to someplace cold and passes out snow shovels and winter gloves before he comes clean and tells them they are staying in Atlanta.
Later the gang all goes to dinner at that place that has the live alligators. Kim is not amused. Fudpucker’s that is the name. It is the tackiest thing in Destin. They have live alligators that you can have your picture taken with and it’s a burger joint with games for the kids and stuff. I don’t think it was even there the last time I went to Destin. It sounds like the place is turning into Panama City Beach. Ugh.
I’m not sure if Kim was more freaked out by the alligators or the fact that Brielle wants to be married and pregnant in five years.
Next week: Kim and Kroy go on a double date with Tracey and her girlfriend.
Great, now that song is going to be stuck in my head for the rest of the night – if not longer. (Life is so strange…)
I am laughing my ass off because someone guessed Seattle…. and I had this image of Kim and all that chaos and her WIGS in the rain, and just her in general in the Pacific Northwest. (Actually, the red cup part would probably work.
they do need to work on his use of the F word – but I don’t envy them that job because I’d be working too hard at not laughing! (I thought last week’s “but they have to shit in the cage” was sweet – he was concerned about them. Shows empathy at a young age)
I laughed my ass off when KJ said open the f’n gate please because he is not my kid so I found it funny as hell. I love watching this family because kids cant be scripted so its very real most of the time and I love Kims sense of humor about the whole thing. Looking forward to next week!
TT I must respectfully disagree about Mexico as a whole being unsafe. My husband and I have been there several times (and not just in resort areas) and have never felt unsafe or had any issues. Sure, I wouldn’t recommend traveling through some sketchy border town or the barrios of Mexico City, places like Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Akumal, San Miguel de Allende are very popular tourist destinations and very safe. There’s always a police presence and there are usually so many people around, it would pretty difficult for someone to pull off any type of crime without being noticed.
You’re of course entitled to your opinion but Mexico is one of my favorite places in the world – I love the people, I love the food and the culture (and tequila!). Not to mention so beautiful! My husband and I were even married there. We have such great memories from all of our trips so it just rattles me a bit when people make blanket statements like that about an entire country. The Mexican people are so friendly and hard working and they really go above and beyond to cater to their guests. The level of service you get when staying there is really unparalleled which is why we continue to go back time and time again (not to mention its very affordable). Just saying you should consider visiting one day, I guarantee you will have a great time!
Hmmm if I can’t comment from my email anymore, this will be problematic. Did my comment go to your email, BK?
Here is what I was trying to post.
I’ve been several times. I’ve stopped going in recent years. Traveling with your husband is a whole different animal than traveling alone.
Anyone traveling to Mexico is free to make up their own minds concerning their safety. I have opted not to visit until things improve.

As I said, I would not venture out of my resort in Mexico which makes it no different from any other place with a nice beach and cheap souvenirs. I’m not traveling to relive my honeymoon in my oceanfront suite. I’m interested in exploring the real parts of the country. And you know, having sex with locals.
It went to my emai but I don’t see it in WordPress. I was trying to get on your site from my IPhone earlier and I got some message saying it was under construction. However I’m on my phone now and no issues.
Anyway – I understand your concerns and I did look at the .gov link you posted above. Just want to point out that all the cities I listed above are in the states of Quintana Roo and Guanajuato and those places don’t have any advisories in effect. And also, to be fair, my husband and I had been to Mexico several times before we got married there. It was because of our previous wonderful experiences that we chose that destination. It was really a no brainer.
And true, most of the time we did stay on resort. However in Cancun-proper for example, if staying on the main strip, there are numerous shops and restaurants/clubs within a few minutes walking. It’s a major boulevard, like Vegas. And Playa del Carmen is a little town. Sure you can choose to stay in the resort area, but most people decide to stay in town to be close to all the action on 5th Ave. There are so many cute boutique hotels and condos in town, all brand new, with top notch service and of course security. And you’re within walking distance of dozens of bars, restaurants, shops and the beach. And from there you can take a ferry to Cozumel which is even more beautiful. We were just there last month. It was packed with plenty of locals and people from all over the world. It’s almost impossible to feel unsafe just because of the sheer number of people alone. Kind of like a South Beach vibe.
I haven’t been to San Miguel de Allende yet but it’s supposed to be breathtaking. My mother’s friend and her husband stayed there for a month (not on a resort, but in the actual town) and absolutely loved it. Supposed to be a large U.S. Expat community there. Lots of art and culture. They even have a mini version of the Sagrada Familia church there.
I’m sure you have your mind made up – and I’m not sure when you were there last – im just saying it might be different now than what you experienced. I think you should give it another shot!
I just want to say that Tracey cracks me up. She is always messing with Kim and she isn’t sure whether to believe her or not. Also, I didn’t hate seeing Kroy in swim trunks on the beach, nope didn’t hate it at all.
P.S. LOVE the new slogan on your site. It will all be worth it…great job.
I really enjoy watching Kim and her family. I wouldn’t mind a full hour. IThe time goes too fast. Their home is full of chaos, noise, affection and love. Kash doesn’t seem to be in many scenes though.
Two comments made me laugh in this episode:
Kim; ‘The last time I asked for a massage, I got Kane and Kaia’.
Brielle: “This is enough birth control for, like, 10 years.”
It’s refreshing to watch a drama free show of people who like each other and get along well bravo, Bravo.
There is nothing cute or funny about a toddler using foul language. Apparently kym and her husband think otherwise. Kym really needs to watch her mouth around her children
I’m sorry but I have to agree-bc that will get him in big trouble when he goes to school. Middle school students at my school can get in school suspension for doing it.
