Hello y’all! We are back for what’s sure to be a 80’s-tastic Dallas episode. LeeAnne, Stephanie and Kameron all meet up for lunch. LeeAnne feels like Kam and Steph are like Barbie and Skipper-totally meant to be friends. Brandi and D’Andra meet up for lunch as well. Brandi is reveling in having a nanny to help. Steph drops the bomb that she’s getting vaginal rejuvenation and the three of them laugh and are getting along well. D’Andra tells Brandi about her talk with LeeAnne and D’Andra feels like LeeAnne is pushing her away-D’Andra thinks it’s because Rich cheats. Brandi thinks LeeAnne is just plain full of shit and is jealous of D’Andra. Keep in mind LeeAnne was D’Andra’s Maid of Honor at her wedding so to watch the amount of backstabbing is rather sad. LeeAnne tells Steph that she feels that Brandi has impeded her from opening up to Kam and LeeAnne and Kam agrees. Steph kind of agrees as well but owns that hers, not Brandi’s fault. Kam tells Steph that LeeAnne has never advised her from staying away from Brandi as what was told to Cary (to refresh read here). They do tequila shots and lunch ends swimmingly.
Charity season is in full swing in Dallas and LeeAnne is the LGBTQ Black Tie kickoff party. LeeAnne laments that D’Andra would go to all those functions but now that she’s friends with Brandi, she can’t be bothered. Several hours pass and Brandi and D’Andra arrive late. Brandi and D’Andra had been drinking all day and LeeAnne is upset that D’Andra came late and with a plus one she didn’t want to be there. Brandi is drunk so it may not be the greatest time to talk like D’Andra is pushing them to do. LeeAnne and Brandi try to discuss their issues but Brandi is too drunk and LeeAnne is too upset so they can’t understand each other. D’Andra just watches as they bicker. Brandi wants LeeAnne to admit she’s wrong and LeeAnne tries to pacify her but it doesn’t work. Brandi leaves in a huff.
Kam goes to see Court at work and complains that she can’t get things done at home. She hides in the closet as her kids bang on the door for her attention while she takes business calls. Court tells her that she needs to sell 5,000 bags of pink dog food in order to be successful and Kam feels too pressured. They have a business call with a distributor who is confident that Sparkle Dog will be successful overseas. Court seems to be taken aback by the enthusiasm and is visibly relieved. Kam gives me such Legally Blonde vibes that I cannot help but root for her.
Steph goes to Cary’s office to get her vaginal laser. Steph feels that her life is controlled by her bladder and cannot wait to walk without peeing. They do the laser and it seems really simple and pain free. Hmmm…lol. They discuss the upcoming 80’s party and Cary feels remorse for telling LeeAnne what Brandi told her privately. Steph sees a pattern with Cary telling everyone everything so she warns Cary to take the shit stirring down a notch.
Stephanie is getting ready for the 80’s prom theme event that Kam is co-chairing. She is in full big hair, ruffle dress and braces. Brandi arrives looking like a smaller version of Slash from Guns N’ Roses. It’s frightening yet funny but mostly frightening! They decide to go as prom King and Queen.
Kam is dressed as Madonna-lite but looks adorable. She’s honored to co-chair the ASD event as it directly helps AIDS services in Dallas. Cary doesn’t enjoy the 80’s but LeeAnne loved them-she says she and God communicated directly through Aquanet lol.
Steph and Brandi take a limo and of course Brandi talks crap about LeeAnne on the ride there. Steph feels that D’Andra is winding her up about LeeAnne and Rich’s relationship as D’Andra told Brandi that she feels Rich is cheating. Steph wants Brandi to not get involved with that but she thinks it’s a lesson Brandi has to learn on her own.
LeeAnne, Cary and Kam stand around talking. LeeAnne tells them that Brandi showed up drunk and Cary shuts it down rather quickly. She doesn’t want LeeAnne judging Brandi as she has a lot going on with her three kids. All the ladies are there so Brandi decides to take LeeAnne aside to talk. LeeAnne tells her she was upset at Brandi for showing up to the event drunk. Brandi tells LeeAnne that she doesn’t believe that she has changed her ways in such a short amount of time. LeeAnne tells her that she’s genuinely happy and at peace which Brandi doesn’t believe. Brandi says she feels like there’s a reason she hasn’t set a wedding date and LeeAnne tells her it’s none of her business. LeeAnne doesn’t confide in Brandi as they are not friends so it’s out of line and disingenuous for her to even speculate on her relationship.
LeeAnne throws it back at her and says it would be like saying Brandi and Bryan adopted a baby just to save their marriage. Brandi gets really upset and tells LeeAnne that she’s jealous of D’Andra. LeeAnne can see D’Andra’s words coming out of Brandi’s mouth and she reiterates that she’s not jealous of D’Andra. (An aside if I may-this is where I just can’t with Brandi. She’s so out of line to bring up RIch in the first place but gets her tail out of whack when exactly what she does gets thrown right back at her. End aside). D’Andra comes by to get her purse and LeeAnne tells her that Brandi thinks she’s jealous of her. Brandi says “That’s just what I think” as she stomps off. Ugh! I just can’t.
LeeAnne tells D’Andra that she’s upset that everyone seems concerned over her engagement. LeeAnne tells her to cut out the “living separate lives” crap and D’Andra gets upset. She tells LeeAnne that she’s concerned that they aren’t getting married. In the meantime, Brandi confronts Cary about what she told LeeAnne and Kam about their private conversations. Cary owns up and apologizes. She admits she screwed up but Brandi is going to be cautious going forward. LeeAnne tells D’Andra she has big plans for the wedding but since D’Andra wasn’t told what they are, she doesn’t believe them. D’Andra has been getting gossip that Rich is cheating, so how can she defend it if she doesn’t know what’s happening? LeeAnne gets crowned prom queen so she ends her night happy.
What a good yet frustrating episode!! Next week looks to be frustrating as well: D’Andra tells Mama Dee about her argument with LeeAnne and Mama Dee is not having it-she tells her to be more concerned with the office then with her best friend’s private life! Lol. Brandi spins the “baby saving” comment and LeeAnne tells D’Andra that she’s concerned with her hanging out and drinking a lot with Brandi. I’ll be here to recap all the feels and I hope you’ll be here to read it! See you next week!
I know LeeAnne is the MVP of Dallas when it comes to bringing the drama. It’s just that her hypocrisy can be so grating! She yells at Brandi and D’Andra for talking about her behind her back, yet she’s been running around gossiping about D’Andra’s family drama and Brandi’s drinking. And LeeAnne continues to insist she doesn’t meddle in others’ friendships, yet we have plenty of footage from of LeeAnne telling Cary and Stephanie that Brandi is ruining their reputation in Season 1, LeeAnne telling Brandi to be wary of Stephanie because Cary controls her in Season 2, and LeeAnne telling D’Andra that Brandi is dragging her down in Season 3.
I can’t help it, but I’m pretty amused that D’Andra and Brandi are so far successfully going toe to toe with LeeAnne’s shade tosses this year.
?
I totally agree with you.
I Don’t get these bitches i really Don’t why can’t they just be happy for Leanne why must everything be a competition?? Why do they care what Rich is doing when they obviously do not have good intentions foe Leanne. Brandi is getting way to messy for me. I have had kids snd single mom no nanny I never arrived drunk anywhere!! Maybe when I left but never arriving and it seems she is drinking more since getting the baby. She really needs to real in her actions and words rigjt now as I’m sure she is already under the microscope.
D’Andre has fallen far from the “friendship” tree as you can get!! Why would Leanne tell her anything.? And since when does Leanne need someone to stick up for her to defend her? She seems pretty capable IMO in defending herself against clappers..
Did I read somewhere that Kams dog food actually made a lot of dogs sick?? Maybe thats why they moved it over seas??
It probably did, pink dog food i want something nourishing and nutritious for my dog not something that looks sparkling. But then again she seems a bit out of touch with reality and how the rest of the 98 pecenters lives.
‘It is maybe reseach before stabbing a female in the back! God women can never be happy for eachither..at least not the broke ones like u
If you read the reviews on a certain site that sells everything, the comments stated that people’s dogs were getting sick. Also someone from Kam'[s team posted a whole bunch of positive reviews on the same day to counter the negative reviews.
Brandi is a mean manipulative drunk girl who from season one has been beating up on Leanne, she really needs to back off and try again with Kam, but i guess she only picks at weak targets. If only Leanne had stood up to her from the very begining as Kam did i feel she would have no choice but to turn on Stephanie or find another target, but again that is how bullies work once they find a target dont stop until you completely shut them down. I wonder what would be her story line if Leanne leaves the show for a season or two.
Brandi is an ass. She used LeeAnn when she and Stephanie were on the outs and now is suddenly besties with LeeAnn’s good friend who she hated when the season started. LeeAnne is no prize but Brandi isn’t any better.
Team Leanne on this one. Brandi has always been my least favorite, and episodes like this is why. D’Andra on the wrong team, as far as I am concerned. But it is sad to watch a true friendship crumble before our eyes.
The truest, most candid, ride or die friendship is Brandi and Stephanie. Hands down.
Leeann is a social climber, and once she doesn’t have use for you, she releases her venom. D’andra’s badgering about her relationship is uncalled for, but Leeann asserting that Brandi adopted a baby to save her marriage, and tried to imply she had a drinking problem made me tell her to fuck off- audibly at the tv screen. Not to mention, her saying that D’andra’s 80s look was exactly how she looked yesterday. LeeAnne was the only person who’s 80s look resembled her real life look.
I love Leeann for the drama, but she’s a calculating bitch and I would never be friends with her in real life.
Except she didn’t say Brandi adopted Bruin to save her dull as dishwater marriage to a man that ignores his wife and 2 daughters on camera and skipped out on a family reuinion for his wifes brother (who tried to commit suicide not long before it) because he had better things to do. Her husband makes a show of his marriage all by himself with no insinuations needed.
She used that as an example of “how would you like it if I said something untrue about you like… xyz.”
I wouldn’t be friends with any of them in real life if given the chance, too much drama llama lol.
Oh, I didn’t realize that! Fair enough.
Nothing will ever top seeing Brandi twitching, swaying back and forth and speech slurring at a charity event. So uncouth. D’Andra is one sly and devious puppet master to expose Brandi like that on national television.
It took me a few episodes to decide my opinion but from my view Brandi is the instigator in this situation.
Oh yeah Brandi is an instigator, but D’Andra is controlling and want to be the HBIC. She knew Brandi was over the top drunk and why put her on display for the world to see. She is calculating and entitled.
She didn’t drag het there, D’Andra did. Wich makes you wonder what she is up to
Sorry I misread. I thought you said Leanne
Also, I’m really rooting for LeAnn rn and I hope she gets the wedding she deserves.
🙂
I love that shifting one’s weight constitutes as “over the top drunk ” in RHOD.
Meanwhile in RHONY, we have people falling into the bushes, yelling “clip”and flashing their privates. ….
In RHONJ, we have flipping tables, getting in fistfights, and pulling hair.
In RHOC, We have people yelling it’s not my plate you fucking bitch, blowing raspberries on doors of high-end restaurants, and people breaking their ankles running naked from Jacuzzis.
In RHOA… accusations of drugged date rape, and cockroaches in the bathroom….
Yep, this. Sure, Brandi looked fairly tipsy on that episode. But then again, it wasn’t that long ago when the RHOD cameras caught LeeAnne mopping the bar floor with her hair and doing the kind of dance I thought only Danielle Staub and the Vanderpump Rules crew were willing to do on camera.
Again: Glass house, meet stone.
?
Sloppy drunk at a bar compared to showing up sloppy drunk at a charity event. Hmmmm, which one is viewed as uncouth and classless? The Charity Event, period. Brandi supporters can try to spin doctor her need to get smash as “so empowering, boozy lunches are the in thing do, oh she relieving herself from the stress of being a mother”. For all the pass cards being given to her, I bet neither one of the fans that view it as okay will show up at a public event or place slushed out. I can still hear her yelling “let’s get drunk”. Just pathetic. For the record, Luann fell in the bushes at a vacation home, not at public event.
For me it wasn’t the fact that she was drunk at a charity event and couldn’t even stand straight, never mind string a sentence together. It wasn’t even that her make-up and hair looked like they hadn’t been touched in about a week. It was that she tagged along with that bootleg, broke-ass Elvira wannabe ready for a fight and pitched a fit when she didn’t get one. It’s obvious that it’s eating those nasty bitches up that they’re not getting the reaction they want so far. I wouldn’t call their desperate antics toe-to-toe. They’re yappy little dogs nipping at the heel, looking for some attention.
D’andra Is only looking out for D’andra. She’s no ones friend. I’m so tired of my mommy won’t give me her company storyline & Rich is cheating. She must really need this housewife job. I bet you she really does have $200 in her bank account
I totally agree.
It seems that Brandi brings out the worst no matter who she is with. Stephanie turns into a sophomoric version of herself whenever Brandi is around. D’Andra is a mean, spiteful “friend “ in the company of Brandi. Somehow Cary is apologizing for something Brandi has been saying to everyone. Put your big girl panties on Brandi and own it. You have no problem throwing people under the bus behind their back, try owning it to her face. Brandi is a coward. And Brandi is just too slow, mean and vicious to realize that LeeAnne wasn’t accusing them of trying to save their marriage but just trying to get Brandi to see it from another point of view. Brandi is that girl who now had money and thinks that makes her better than any one else. And yes, I raised three kids, worked full time, kept a house and laundry and hot supper on the table every night without a nanny, extra help, period. It was fun times and good news when the grandparents took them once in awhile overnight. I think Brandi cares for the baby in a cute little accessory way and didn’t factor in they are a lot of 24/7 hard work.
Cute little accessory? You just maybe right. That explains why she believe drinking wine and throwing back tequila chasers is her refuge.
With a best friend like D’Andra you don’t need enemies. I just can’t tolerate Brandi. Her eyes always look bloodshot & it looks like she’s always squinting. Looking tired & looking like your high are 2 different things. She always looks like she’s high
Right. She always look like she is zoned out. If you noticed, her speech is slurred all the time.
Did anyone else catch the expression on the young man’s face, when he usher D’Andra over to LeeAnne at charity party. He rolled his eyes and said “oh, and Brandi too”. Soon after a hot drunk mess Brandi walked over. It was hilarious. 🙂
I’d be a hermit before having any of these bitches for a friend.
Kelly!! ?
I literally can’t with D’Andra and Brandi this episode. D’Andra arguably lives a seperate life from Jeremy due to his constant travelling for work. I’m sure *some* people might look at her situation and use the old adage a bed in every port to describe him if they were feeling mean spirited and yet she has the nerve to double down on her baseless accusations against Rich who seems like a lovely man. I don’t blame him for skipping Lee’s partys and charity obligations if people of D’Andras ilk are in attendance. The same sentiment goes to Brandi. Her gnome of a husband is more absent than not, refuses to interact with the family (at least on camera) when he is there and yet she thinks there’s something ‘wrong’ with LeeAnne’s home life on the basis that she’s trying to curb her angry outbursts and act like a decent human being around these bitter bettys… LOL! The final nail in the coffin for me was D’Andra replying “I’m concerned for your situation” to LeeAnne when she was invited to go wedding dress shopping. I’d cut that little nasty off as a friend then and there. Can’t wait for Mama Dee (who is my new later in life goals ?) to set her straight next week.
On a side note – Steph is like a wee ray of sunshine this season and Kam looks gorgeous without all the makeup. The OTT blush and frosted pink gloss does her no justice at all.
Hope you and yours have got over your winter bug, and look forward to the next recap! xo
GLH!!!!!! ? YES to all that you said!! ooooh I hope Mama Dee rips her a new one! Awwe Steph is a ray of sweetness and light isn’t she? And YES Kam looks gorgeous with little makeup!!! It’s truly flattering when she doesn’t wear that much makeup. Awwe thank you! I think we’ve all pretty much recovered-it was a nasty one! I’ll be fresh as a daisy for this Wednesday’s recap! I hope you and yours are well too! <3
I can’t help but wonder if there is more to the D’Andra/LeeAnne feud. It really makes no sense, unless at some point between seasons they had a falling out over who was HBIC of the show. And threw down the gauntlet to fight to the death over it.
The stuff said in their confessionals is so mean that I can’t imagine they will ever be friends again. smdh
I know that Stephanie loves Brandi, but I do see her pullling away from Brandi to hand with the other girls. She is kind of putting herself in a bad situation — hearing them trashing Brandi, wanting to be a friend and defend Brandi, yet seeing the others’ point of view.
I have no problem with Brandi and D’Andra having a long drink-fueled lunch. Brandi is entitled to an afternoon out and her kids were in good hands. It is a shame that D’Andra took Brandi to the event — it smells as if it was producer-driven. Not a good look for them, nor a good end to what seemed like a harmless afternoon.
I read all the supporting posts for LeeAnne, but I just can’t with her. She seems very driven to be “someone” in Dallas despite her lack of funding, and will attach herself to anyone she can. This season, she has latched onto Kameron, whom she didn’t seem close to at all last season. But without D’Andra, she needs a rich friend. I don’t think LeeAnne has a sincere bone in her body.
I’m glad we’re not alone regarding LeeAnne. Again, I give her full credit for injecting so much juicy drama into this show. It’s just that I also fully recognize how she does it and why she does it. IMHO LeeAnne sees herself as the breakout star of RHOD, and she will do whatever it takes to keep her spot on top.
I also won’t be surprised if there’s another fallout between Brandi and Stephanie if RHOD is renewed for a fourth season (and so far, that looks like a big IF). Again, LeeAnne knows how to play the long game. If RHOD is renewed, LeeAnne will make sure she stirs the pot enough to reel us all in.
LeeAnne is far from perfect and does bring the drama, but I think Brandi is just a mean girl plain and simple. I think LeeAnne operates from a place of hurt and wanting to belong where Brandi operates from calculation and mean-spiritedness. But LeeAnne is smart and does know how to play the long game….and it keeps us tuned in every week! ?
I only watch this mess to catch a glimpse of Rich in that eye patch. Lord have mercy!
Rich is a handsome silver fox. And, that eye patch. Whew! Love is personality and the way he interacts with LeeAnne.
Rich is a one eyed wonder-handsome and very loving with LeeAnne. His sexy eye patch is everything!
OK, watched the episode. Brandi is a BIT*H! I really can’t stand her. Her husband is ugly and clearly not interested in her/cheating on her while “working” always so coincidently so far away from home. DeAndra is lame – she’s so insecure, it’s sad. Carrie – go wreck some more marriages. I love me some LeeAnn, Kameron, and Stephanie! Lets keep these three and drop the other three.
Sorry not sorry but Cameron is not Elle Wood. I’m tired of everything being Pink. Sh^t LVP wears other colors.
Jeezus Mary and Joseph !! Who is doing their makeup and hair ?? Pull eeze go back to school. Deandra looks like she’s going to Halloween party. And Brandi is getting oranger (?) Every episode. Yeah ya go a little more for tv viewing but, wow. Deandra would rather bemoan mommy not giving her the company than actually working for it. Everything Brandi says Leanne is doing, it seems she is talking about herself. That poor baby is going to have reflux if they keep bouncing him like that. But that’s just me.
Yes honey….”oranger and oranger” every week! And those eyebrows chile????
This show has gotten really silly again. Recast Brandi, Stephanie, and Kameron. They act and talk like 12 year old girls. Bring back Melbourne please!!!!
I really agree with recasting Brandi. Kameron add more to the show than Brandi. Brandi story line is pot stirring, drinking, and playing practical jokes. She is not relevant, unless she is picking a fight with LeeAnne or twisting the truth to start crap. The fans are starting to figure her out.
Exactly!!!!
Brandi acts like she is in middle school and seeking attention. Her little tiny voice and her half scrunched eyes make me insane. I realize so much of this is producer driven but after seeing the first few seasons I am stunned they were allowed to adopt. I wouldn’t leave a fucking puppy with Brandi. She drinks far to much and behaves in a very irresponsible manner. It’s not cute anymore, she needs to grow up. Stephanie does so much better when she is t glued to brandis side, SHS actually acts like a lady.
I kinda feel for Brandi. (And who names their child after an alcoholic drink?!?). I had a 3rd unplanned baby and while they were young I handled it well but the older they got I found refuge in (prescribed) pain meds. I had had an extremely abusive first marriage and couldn’t deal. This is what I’m seeing in her. My children were not brats like hers either. Idk I just worry about the direction she is headed in. Thank you for the recaps!!
Oh Nancy I’m sorry you went through that. I hope you’re ok now!!! I have my now 18 month old with a 9 and 13 year old and it’s hard. She has all my empathy with that situation and I’m glad she could afford to get a nanny because if I could have I would have too! lol. But outside the house with LeeAnne, I can’t with her mean girl attitude and shit stirring. I don’t know why she acts like that but to me it’s ugly and not entertaining. I hope you’re doing ok now and thank you for commenting! And please come back every week, we have lots and lots of terrific comments happening ?
So, I am just getting caught up. Between the flu, crazy work, demanding (but adorable husband) and our RED SOX and Pat’s I have been exhausted. LOL. But just let me say, Brandi is getting on my nerves. She is a mean girl in a way LeeAnn never was. LeeAnn is all kinds of crazy, I get that, but Brandi just goes right in there and rips her apart every chance she gets. LeeAnn was her friend when she was on the outs with Stephanie and she was a good friend. I am not lliking this side of Brandi at all.
On the other hand I am finding Steph to be quite pleasant and good hearted. I have to say though the men on this show….none of them seem like they are very into their relationships. Except for nosy and pot stirring Carey’s husband and that is one I can do without LOL. I don’t know they just come off as cold and too good for their wives.
At any rate Kelly, we are on our way to the WORLD SERIES, or at leas that is what I am choosing. Houston is going to be tough but we will have to get through it, yes? Tough game for the Pats yesterday but we made it. My husband almost didn’t though he was a wreck.
Great Recap!
