The latest season of Don’t Be Tardy ended on a pretty somber note last night. Kim’s heart problems are no joke and she has a long family history of heart conditions. Because I have lots of heart disease in my family, I could not watch the doctor’s visits. It must be a very scary time for her and you could tell on the show that Kroy is gravely concerned. So I am glad we have this WWHL episode to sort of perk things back up.
Brielle is the bartender. Brielle being “the bartender” is probably her first “job.” There are several wig heads displaying an assortment of Kim’s wigs lined up on the bar with name tags.
They talk about how many selfies takes. We get a montage of just the on camera selfies she took on DBT this season.
Much ado is made about KJ’s potty mouth.
Andy is obsessed with the fact that in 2009 he introduced Kim at an appearance at a gay bar in NYC and that he just realized Erika Jayne did an appearance on that same night. Erika Jayne’s career in the gay clubs has really taken off.
They talk about Kim’s health and I fast forward. I don’t want to even think about all that. It’s Christmas. Let’s lighten up.
So Andy’s light topic go to with Kim is all of her plastic surgery. He says her lips look bigger. Bigger than what? They argue over how long it’s been since she got her lips done. Kim says whatever she does lasts for two years. Are we really going to argue about plastic surgery? Kim has admitted to everything she’s had done. Except for her face work. I hope this isn’t the focus of the show.
YAY! Finally a game about what she thinks of the current housewives.
Andy asks if she was surprised that Cynthia filed for divorce. She says no. Andy asks about Leon, Kim says she doesn’t know anything about that relationship.
Next she is asked if Phaedra knew about Apollo’s fraud when they were together? Um, yeah. How could she not?
She is asked about her feelings for Kenya. She says nothing really but it is clear she is not a fan. This is not news. Kim and Sheree are close. Well, close ISH.
Nene and Kim are fine. They text on occasion. Andy tries to get a comment on Nene’s new nose. Kim sort of says nothing one way or another.
Kim and Sheree are friends, she loves the Chateau. And Andy will bring up the Don’t Be Tardy money until the end of time, but Kandi’s case was deemed to have no merit and was thrown out years ago.
There was more conversation about KJs cussing. He doesn’t do it at school. He recently got the “Most Christlike” award at his school. So suck on that, haters.
Kroy lets us know he is not officially retired and is still a free agent. He is open to opportunities coming his way. Kim wants him to be Kelly’s new LIVE! co host. I don’t think she really would want to move to NYC though. She might, but she would not be able to keep her current lifestyle in Manhattan.
Then we are back to Kim denying her face work. Because maybe if we bring it up a million times she will finally break down and admit it. Or we are just wasting time that could be used more wisely.
Kroy was asked about his first impressions meeting Kim. He said he found her to be a vibrant, straight shooter without any bullshit. Andy agrees. He says Kim is one of the few housewives who has not changed at all during her time on Bravo. She says that Andy hasn’t changed either. He still doesn’t invite her to parties. Apparently, in his book he wrote about a WWHL after party he had in 2015 when Kim was on that she was not invited to.
I just noticed that Kim was served in a red solo cup.
Brielle’s boyfriend has been traded to the White Sox. Can we take a minute to address this dude? Brielle described him on the finale as “tall and not too many muscles but not scrawny.” That was her complete description, followed by, “So yeah, he has everything I’m looking for.” Then we see a short face time were the chef, whose name escapes me is introduced to the boy. He was dull as dishwater. I’d like to say he was stoned out of his mind, but I think that is just his lack of a personality.
The caller wanted to know if Brielle was going to live with him in Chicago during the off season. Kim says she is not living with anyone without a ring. Brielle agreed. I think that relationship is probably over. Andy asks if Brielle has a job. Kim says she is her assistant. Brielle stammers about, thrown by the question and finally responds with, “yeah, I have many.” You know. Kinda like Phaedra and Nene.
Andy takes one more stab at getting Kim to admit her nose job by putting up a season one photo. Still no dice.
What is obvious is that Kim and Kroy are very much in love. I love this family. I wish that DBT would be given an hour. They have the ratings to support it and there are NINE people on the show. Plenty to discuss.
I love Kroy and Kim together. They seem so happy and in love. Their children are adorable!!
I don’t cat has DBT often anymore, but I have to admit I have always liked how genuinely these two are crazy for each other. It really was love at first sight. What I still can’t believe is that Kroy’s family won’t have anything to do with her or them (allegedly). At least I remember Kroy saying that a few times when last I watched regularly. He adores her and she adores him back, what more could parents want for their son? I hope maybe they’ve had a change of heart by now.
I love Don’t Be Tardy. It’s a fun, easy show that’s genuinely interesting without too much of the manufactured bullshit.
Sorry for the above typos. My autocorrect is on hyper alert today.
I will admit that I have never been a fan of Kim and never will be. I can never get over her openly flaunting her affair with “Big Papa” on national TV and being proud to be a mistress. I know that was eons ago, but I will never forget it and will never respect her. However I do agree with Andy on one thing. From what I do see of Kim these days, I do agree that she is the housewife who has not changed since being on Bravo. She did not let a little money and a little fame go to her head like most of the others do. I will give her credit for consistency.
Your moral high horse about people who have committed adultery (especially without any knowledge of circumstance) will keep you quite busy painting Scarlet A on foreheads. You’re going to need A WHOLE LOT OF RED PAINT.
Pretty much every housewife show!
Amen!
Absolutely spot in Tamara, love you for this x
I couldn’t agree with this more, but I despise LeAnn Rimes and Eddie What’s his name — maybe cause they flaunted it and there were children? IDK. I guess I”m a hypocrite! Yeah, that’s probably it.
I would like Kim a whole lot more if she would stop with all the lies. First the skin care was cooked up on their stove because Kim didn’t want stretch marks, now it’s because one of the kids has skin problems. She used to say she wore wigs because she has to, now that was never true. She’s doing a speaking tour, she’s not doing a speaking tour, she’s writing a book, she’s not writing a book, she’s a singer, she can’t sing – UGH. I think she’s an interesting enough person without having to lie al the time.
Who doesn’t describe their future husband as “tall, not scrawny?” Those are the most important traits. Whoever marries Brielle better be ready for a vapid and, to be kind, uninspired wife.
How long has the dark roots, wavy hair been out of style? I’m like the least stylish person on earth, and even I’m saying let it go.
I love that KJ got the Christ-like award. I’d take that to mean sharing, being kind to others. And that the teachers aren’t a bunch of Pharisees judging him for his colorful momma.
Another excellent recap, thank you. I share your impatience with Andy’s ridiculous questions. He isn’t authentically interested in any human being but himself. His vicious treatment of women wears me out. I don’t watch him. Ever. But I like reading your recaps because I can find out what the women said without having to watch that reptile torturing them.
After sitting out this whole season, Kroy’s chances of playing in the NFL are looking really iffy. This was no star player to begin with. Having said that, the show is pretty entertaining. Anything with no housewives screaming at each other is an improvement for Bravo.
Kroy was a solid player for the Falcons. He may not have been the “star” of the Falcons, but that’s usually reserved for Matt Ryan or one of the receiver positions. DE’s are not usually the star, but are essential to a team. He played really well while he was here in Atlanta.
Kim is one of my favorite housewives and yes she should have an hour long show that woman can hustle and is very smart. It does bother me she tries to down play her wit maybe it’s her TV thing for viewers, but I see you Kim it’s ok to have a brain and be sexy it’s why your man follows you faithfully own it.
I have liked Kim from the beginning. She has always been “Yeah, it’s a wig. Like it?” No faking about who she is or what she is. I loved the expression on her face when Phaedra told her she didn’t know how far along she was, that the doctor couldn’t say. Kim was all “I was a nurse, bitch – they KNOW.”
I like her product line but hate the name “Kashmere Kollection.” It smells like summer at the beach and the oil, firming lotion and tanning lotion are great products. The tanner is the best I’ve ever used. Not intending to make a commercial here, but if she’d rename it she could probably sell more of it!
It’s really expensive though isn’t it? I love lotions and potions but I like to buy mine from TJMaxx where I can smell em. lol. I have been trying to get to TJMaxx for ever. It’s my happy place. But too many things in the way. The last time I went I think I just did the ole anxiety bolt so maybe Christmas time is not the time to go.
Not to be picky here, but in the beginning, Kim tried to convince everyone that she wore wigs because she thought she had cancer, or some such thing. She cried at the reunion and said Nene KNEW she had to wear a wig and it was so cruel for her to make fun of Kim. I like Kim authentic she ain’t. The photoshopping and claiming that it’s just good genes that give her the thigh gap and 18 inch waist. Maybe we’ve been watching two different shows.
At first she lied about having cancer and needing a wig.
Yes – as if having cancer is what makes your hair fall out. Then it wasn’t cancer so why the wig?
Kim’s a big favorite, there’s no bullshit and yet she’s highly entertaining and funny. I love her show. But why won’t Andy invite her?
Don’t be tardy does need to be an hour! They are so much fun to watch.Even when Brielle is overacting her dumb blonde act, the show is very engaging. I do worry about Kim’s heart problems though. That has to be scary for everyone.
Love Kim and kroy and all their kids! And so happy for Kim that she got herself a good man after all the shit Nene stirred up about her past relationship.
I love watching Don’t be Tardy to the Party and agree it should be on for one hour instead of onlu a 1/2 hour. The show is better than most of the other Bravo shows!
I hate them. Total trash. Kroy isnt getting another contract unless it’s to a practice squad.
If Kroy is going to get picked up it would be right now when NFL teams still in the playoff hunt have many injured players and need to fill their 53-man roster. I noticed that when Michael Floyd got released from the Arizona Cardinals due to a DUI, the New England Patriots signed him immediately. If you have talent, teams tend to overlook transgressions such as gun possession, DUI, and assault. My Philadelphia Eagles released Josh Huff after he was charged with speeding, illegal gun and ammunition, and DUI. Despite these charges, Tampa Bay signed him! Kroy is an aging linebacker and I think he knows his chances are slim/none of being in the NFL again. Either Kim is delusional or she is just putting on a brave front for the general public. Maybe his best bet is to try to become an NFL analyst, although the competition is very stiff for these jobs.
I think those jobs usually go to the more well known players. I don’t think I would know who Kroy Bierman is if not for him marrying Kim.
I’m a huge football fan and I’d never heard of him before Kim. Though linebacker isn’t the most glamorous position. After he got with Kim I would watch Falco so games just to see him and he was a good player.
Kim Biermann and Kyle Richards probably have the best lives out of all of the housewives, or the ones I would most like to change places with that is. I wish Kim would stop with the plastic surgery, though. Her face is bordering on scary.
Also today on Snapchat Kim said she did a test for the heart attack gene and tested negative so that’s a great Christmas present for her and her family!
Kim’s nose job is very obvious, for whatever reason she won’t admit it
She really is not a truthful person and she hides a lot from her past from Kroy…
That’s one of the reasons Kim really didn’t want her parents around. She was worried they would let it slip some if her secrets like how many other married men she was with etc.
She has gotten so arrogant, Teresa Guidice didn’t want to live in someone else’shouse because it was skeevy and Kin doesn’t want to sit on a used toilet . LOOK at where Teresa ended up at and Kim? Doesn’t she know that she sleeps on used mattresses in hotels and used the toilets that other people use,
It never ceases to amaze me that people watch shows they hate, or go to blog sites they hate, There are a thousands of TV shows to watch, and Billions of blogs. Why not commentblo on shows and places you like?
And apparently the answer is a lot of people watch shows where they hate everyone on it, and comment about how much they hate them.
I find that weird,
Next to Manzoed this is my FAVORITE Bravo show. It is entirely possible Kim didn’t get a nose job, there are injectables that will give you an upturned nose look, allegedly. Praying for you Kim !
I really enjoy this family! They’re funny and they don’t care if camera’s are around, they’re geniune! They don’t act up to make a show for us..It’s all real! I would like to see Kroy get another chance, he really loves playing football and he didn’t sound at all enthusiastic about “Live with Kelly” when Kim was pushing it for him.(I think it’s what she wants for him, not what he wants) I love love love Kim’s kids and so what if Kim’s boys swear on occasion, we have all laughed at Miliana’s antics. They are hilarious!
Brielle…She is her mother’s daughter for sure..lol Hopefully it’s works out with her new boyfriend as she definitely wants to be her mom when she grows up. I can’t see her ever really working for a living, maybe I’m missing something but it doesn’t seem what she wants or likes to talk about..lol. OMG! She needs to stay off her phone while driving. Maybe next season after Kim see’s how scary it looks for anyone watching her daughter drive.
I know Andy was giving her a hard time about her “plastic surgery” but she does look so much better without the swollen lips and face, so does Brielle. I just don’t get this “duck lip” look or whatever the kids are calling it nowadays…lol
I hope the whole family is back again for another season. This show and Manzod with Children are my favorites too.
You know how people look back at their fashion choices from years ago and wonder WTF they were thinking? I have a feeling all the duck lips and ass implanted folks will have that same feeling. Only they would need another surgical procedure to fix their issues. I’ve never gotten the plastic surgery thing. My recent minor surgery was a lot more major than I expected. Who would do that voluntarily? IDGI.
