Well hello y’all!!! We’re back in the saddle for another week of Dallas drama. LeeAnne, Rich and his eye patch go to lunch to discuss wedding plans. Rich is sexy as hell giving off hot pirateness! I don’t care what the streets of Dallas are saying, these two are a cute couple who seem to be really in love. And could possibly, actually, get married.
D’Andra meets with Mama Dee at the office to discuss business. She’s asking Mama Dee for advice on how to not run out of products. Ummm…not to be snide but if you’re taking over a company shouldn’t you know how to make sure the product is available??? Anywho, they move on to a cooking class Mama Dee wants to host with LeeAnne, Kameron and D’Andra. D’Andra isn’t sure if LeeAnne will come due to them being on the outs. D’Andra tells Mama Dee about the fight they had. Mama Dee doesn’t give a DOG’S RIP (my new phrase) about the petty gossip and doesn’t want D’Andra to push LeeAnne anymore. Mama Dee loves LeeAnne and wants D’Andra to back off and let LeeAnne come to her if there are problems. Sound advice Mama Dee!
We go back to LeeAnne and Rich discussing the fight as well and Rich is taken aback at the “living separate lives” comment D’Andra continues to throw around. LeeAnne questions their friendship because D’Andra and Brandi drink and gossip, and most of what Brandi threw at LeeAnne came directly from D’Andra. LeeAnne doesn’t want tell D’Andra things because she doesn’t trust they will stay with D’Andra. LeeAnne doesn’t want to lose their friendship but is hurt by what’s been happening. I know things are contentious now but I am really rooting for them to work this crap out because I do believe they love each other and that their friendship is real
Stephanie’s sister Tiffanie comes to visit and Steph tells her that Travis is going to Harvard for six weeks. She confesses to Tiffanie that she’s nervous about not having Travis around. Tiffany is a teacher and is self sufficient and Stephanie fears paying bills without him there. She and her sister took very different paths indeed.Stephanie recognizes her co-dependency with her friendships and marriage and wants to work on both.</spanBrandi and Bruin meet up with Bryan for lunch. She feels rejuvenated with having the nanny to help out. Brandi feels that her marriage is in a good place so she doesn’t understand why LeeAnne would say that they had the baby to save their marriage. Yes, LeeAnne did use those words but it was in relation to the hurtful gossip of Rich living a seperate life-it was an example of something awful being said- not that it was actually happening. And the spinning continues.
Cary and Mark prepare for the grand opening party of their new laser center. Kam and LeeAnne arrive and Mark greets LeeAnne with a warm hug. She was nervous about seeing him again (rightfully so!) but it goes well. Brandi shows up and neither LeeAnne nor Brandi want to see each other but see each other they must. Mama Dee called LeeAnne to invite her to the cooking party so LeeAnne feels that maybe there can be a resolution with D’Andra. The two go to another room to talk and LeeAnne tells D’Andra that she’s hurt that she spoke to Brandi about her relationship with Rich. She’s asking D’Andra to keep their conversations private and not tell Brandi anything. D’Andra agrees but in her talking head, D’Andra feels that she’s deflecting from some issue. What is the issue you ask? Couldn’t tell ya.
Cary, Kam, Steph and Brandi are talking and Kam asks what happened between Brandi and LeeAnne. Brandi says that she told LeeAnne that she thought she was jealous of D’Andra and D’Andra’s life, the fact that she has a marriage and family. Then Brandi spins LeeAnne’s comment about the baby saving the marriage. OMG. Brandi says that they all agreed to not hit below the belt but LeeAnne and LeeAnne alone did that. The kicker is that Brandi says she’s learned not to do that. If this recap is now all messed up, my eyes rolled back so hard they’re stuck. Sorry! LeeAnne tells D’Andra that she tends to drink a lot with Brandi which D’Andra denies vehemently. She asks if LeeAnne thinks she has a drinking problem. Uh oh.
D’Andra gets really upset about that comment and LeeAnne says that in the past, D’Andra has struggled with alcohol so she’s concerned that they drink a lot together. D’Andra excuses herself when Kam comes in. Kam tells LeeAnne what Brandi said and Kam can see how the shit gets shaken and stirred with Brandi! LeeAnne tells her the actual version of events which now makes sense to Kam. D’Andra goes out to the party and sits with Brandi and Steph. Of course she goes out and tells them that LeeAnne called her an alcoholic.D’Andra’s dad was an alcoholic and committed suicide when he was drunk. My heart hurts for her with what happened but I don’t get why this is happening with LeeAnne, honestly. Cary asks her point blank if LeeAnne called her an alcoholic and she said no. Cary thinks it’s a misunderstanding and Brandi is gloating.
LeeAnne confronts Brandi with the actual version of what happened and Brandi will not see it. Things start to get heated and Cary asks them to take it elsewhere. Steph can see both sides and can see how both could be wrong. Brandi and Steph leave in the same car and Brandi tells Steph that LeeAnne hasn’t changed and that she’s only using Steph to get to Brandi and is pretending to be her friend. Wow
So next week the cooking class happens and Kam tells D’Andra that LeeAnne is trying to protect her. I’m going to go watch my Red Sox (HOPEFULLY!) win but I’ll be checking in on the comments to see what you all are thinking: TeamBrandi or TeamLeanne?
Team LeeAnne!!! Brandi is totally spinning shit in her fake little girl voice and acting like a victim. Gross. I think Brandi is a drunk and loves to tie the shit. D’Andra isn’t calculating at all and that’s why she can’t see what Brandi is doing. I also think Brandi is using D’Andra to hurt LeeAnne, and I think Stephanie is figuring that out. Does anyone else find carys husband creepy??? Oh and I found out one of my clients reads this blog today, cracked me up. She never comments though. Hey girl!
Haha no way! Tell her to comment, the more the merrier! 🙂 Yeah I think Brandi’s act is old and stale. She’s just horrible. But what is D’Andra doing? I’m really not understanding why she’s super quick to throw her friendship aside with LeeAnne for Brandi? Yesss I find him creepy!! Not sure what it is about him but yes, for sure.
Ooh good insight therealdeb! And I truly hope my clients dont read this blog. Haha
Mark at the Opening Party: Have you tried the meatballs? The meatballs are excellent!
Def team Leeanne
I think they’re both good at twisting the plot. Sad for me are the actual friendships between Brandi and Stephanie/D’Andra and LeeAnne are now being pitted against each other for what seems like a “story”.
I need to know all about every laser procedure! My pieces and parts are falling apart over here! Can a laser fix a neck? Deccoletage?
I agree that LeeAnne isn’t innocent but I feel more that Brandi has tried to be so under the radar with her manipulative behavior that now FINALLY people are catching on!! Haha I’m gettig married next week-can I have all the laser treatments ever offered? I have a few chins I would LOVE to have lasered off! 😂
You’re getting married? Hello?! This is exciting news! Congratulations PopCulture!
Haha yes! Thank you!!! No honeymoon though so I won’t miss a recap 🙂
Congratulations!! May you have many years of health and happiness!!
I think Kam was thinking about it being recorded and aired. I do think Kam has the best intentions for D’Andra. I LOVE seeing Steph come into her own and I hope it does change their friendship for the better, but who knows if Brandi will allow that.
Awww thank you Deejaylala!! It means the world 😘😘
Congrats!!!! 😊😊
Thank you!!! 😊
CONGRATULATIONS!! May you both have a life full of good times and lots of love. Forget about needing laser treatments (Sorry Cary). Every bride looks beautiful
Bahahaha awwe thank you!! It’s too late to do anything now so its just praying the hair and make up can do miracles! =) Wait, it’s 8 days from now in case Cary is reading this and wants to hook a recapper up!!! 😂
Congratulations Kelly!! Have a wonderful and fun wedding day! I’m sure you will be a beautiful bride without any laser treatments 🙂
Awee thank you Fizz! Praying for a hair and make up miracle 😂
Good evening Kelly!
1) Momma Dee – I don’t see the allure at all – No way is d’andra competitive with her
2) I honestly believe the disgustingly low ratings are due to LeeAnne – she eagerly reverts
to her old ways of splice/mangle/mutate should she feel she has been slighted, so people have
stopped watching
3) I really don’t think it is Brandi’s job to investigate anything D’andra shares with her, and Brandi
casually insulted her friend stephanie, stating, not inferring that the only reason Leeanne is Stephanie’s friend – is to annoy Brandi!
The one thing that I go nutz for – all the women are entrepreneurs/women/wives/mom! they can do it all!
Well hellooo Sam!! Haha yes we can agree that they do it all-amazing women for sure. You think the ratings are disgustingly low? I’ll havr to look into that. It’s such a great franchise that it would be a shame people are missing it!!
Sux that the ratings don’t reflect the content of the show! I keep trying to get around LA ‘ s choice of reaction to people talking about her – she keeps playing the viewers, she starts off trying to address different ways to deal with her violent reactions, she decided to stop. Bad choice.
LA has a right to react to Brandi’s horrible comments – but her reaction is too violent and she gives herself permission to do so, bad choice. She could have easily have flipped the switch and put Brandi back in her lane – but LA is too brutal.
When has LeeAnne been violent to Brandi this season or any other? She’s traded insults and told her to fuck off on numerous occassions but the thirsty bitch keeps on coming.
LA threatened Cary and Marie (?) in past seasons and has smashed glasses and set pieces which I agree is way out of line and she has apologised for that. She’s never actually thrown punches or made any sort of physical contact with any of them. I get you don’t like her and thats totally your choice but I think its unfair to say that every reaction she has has violent tones to it.
The only person who has actually had a full on physical outburst was Tiffany when she was being extra in the street and shoved someone (I think LA) to get her point across.
Just my 2 cents.
yeah, I don’t do the “hands on hips – explain it to me ” thing
No ones explaining anything Sam. Facts are facts. 😉
Never has LeeAnne ever this season. It has all been drunk Brandi none stop like a psychotic zombie. Her jealousy of LeeAnne and Stephanie’s friendship is fueling her childish behavior. That is the very reason she tried to manipulate Stephanie in the car, after the launch party. Reality shows spin doctors can try to spin the drama in favorite of Brandi, but the viewers know the truth. And, that is why she is getting trolled on social media for her behavior. D’Andra too. An extreme passive aggressive nut jobs.
OMG psychotic zombie! 😂
That’s an interesting theory. So far I’ve found this season of RHOD so captivating, so I was initially surprised to see that the show has been struggling in ratings this year. Were viewers so emotionally exhausted from RHONY that they couldn’t take another round of similarly dark drama on RHOD, or was Season 2 just seen as a temporary train wreck that isn’t carrying over to Season 3? Or might it be something else?
Good morning atdleft. A few weeks ago I read how the ratings are figured out. They count the night it airs, the 7 days replay and DVR so true ratings that we are seeing is not how it is measured. Beside, last night the boss, Andy Cohen, said last night on WWHL he is really enjoying this season. My guess is RHOD will be back. Bravo is probably tickled pink to have a show displaying wealthy women cat fighting over BS.
Good morning atdleft
RHOD is mesmerizing and for me – the only negative about rhod is LA’ s violent reaction to people . She has a right to react – but her reaction is so intense, and off putting.
this part blows me away, RHOC beats RHNY and RHOD in ratings! I think this is why I am flapping around so much 😂😂. I’m not bringing up ratings due to cancellation of RHOD – I think this crew deserve huge paycheques – their storylines are relateable and relevant.
the fact that they are in their $$ class has nothing to do with RHOD.
Have you been drinking? Because none of that made any sense Samael and it was indicative of the drunken propensity to repeat things ad nauseum
whatever – hilarious that you are so sensitive about differing opinions, forget your meds..
now stop
In the name of Love!
@Maybe: I dunno about the drunken thing but I couldn’t follow anything written after –
“I’m not bringing up ratings due to cancellation of RHOD…”
Can’t differ on opinion y’all, when one party can’t make sense of the others to begin with 😅
Exactly. Especially on a dissenting opinion that was already made, then made again, then? Kind of?
D’Andra and Brandi are just off. They are not perceiving correctly. Leanne doesn’t have marital problems, she and Rich are cute as hell, and both good looking. I think both Brandi and especially D’ Andra are trying to spin up some drama for Bravo.
hi Kristen
I am not arguing , but Rich couldn’t even remember their last convo! he doesn’t pay attention to LeeAnne and he lets her make all the decisions so he can say ” you chose it”! dudes know this
Oh Sam I disagree with you here. I think Rich pays attention but he seems a lot like my fiance’-I do all the planning and he’s happy if I’m happy. That’s how Rich seems to me, not too detail oriented but completely there for LeeAnne.
I agree
HI Kelly
the part that I am basing my opinion on – each time LA gives updates to Rich – he looks at her cluelessly and responds “what’s going on with you and her?”
that is not paying attention – this situation is serious for LA – and Rich doesn’t bother to pay attention or remember what is happening with his fiancee and best friend!
isn’t he a retired police officer – their jobs are to pay attention to detail..yet nope – not Rich.
it’s cool to disagree 😊
Haha it is cool to disagree but to me, it seems more like a chance to recap the events than Rich not paying attention. To me, he comes across as loving LeeAnne very much.
I just don’t see how loving it is towrards LA – that he only agrees to marry her – on national TV and after the women ask her over and over about it. She spent all last season trying to hogtie Rich and – she was the one who kept bringing up- getting married, Rich never did.
I don’t find that loving or caring, seems to me his behavior is “that’ll shut her up”.
Seriously, did someone new come on this show? Is LA Reid on there now?
PLEASE READ THE COMMENTING RULES!
Lol
Spot on regarding Brandi and D’andra. Their drama queen antic last night was very exhausting. Boy, did they get trolled on Twitter last night. Both are delusional. In my opinion, they are friendship match. From the tweets and IG posts, LeeAnne and D’Andra are no more. Even Kameron said on WWHL the friendship is beyond repair and the rumor about Rich is 100% a lie. Travis said the same two weeks ago.
It was wrong that Brandi told the others that LA suggested Bruin was adopted to save her marriage. But, and correct me if I wasn’t paying close attention, bringing up D’Andra’s father’s suicide because of alcoholism could have been handled better or not mentioned at all. Survivors of loved ones who commit suicide and those with alcohol dependency should be cared with kid gloves if you’re going to bring the issues up with them. Once again LA demonstrated her lack of tack. I get D’Andra keeps nagging LA about her relationship with Rich but I think there’s more going on that hasn’t been revealed yet. There must have been, in my opinion, other things that prompted cracks in their friendship before the really hurtful things were said (money and marriage). I hope they can repair their friendship though. LA has never liked Brandi and I think she’s threaten that her best friend, D’Andra is growing close to her.
Luanne didn’t bring it up. Ms. D’Andra brought it up herself.
Have yourself a good rewind, and let it all fall back in order.
Damn! LA can’t catch a break this season!
Awwe Kam said that? I didn’t watch WWHL because I was watching my Red Sox win, but that makes me really sad. I hope they can repair it.
If Mama Dee decrees it, D’Andra will comply. (And a general aside, Kameron is my absolute favorite, who brings a breath of fresh air to the franchise because of her intelligent sarcasm & ability to ‘be in on the joke’ of being herself.)
I agree. I wasn’t a Kam fan at all last season and I was slow to enjoy her this season but I really do like her now.
She’s cracking me up on the regular.
Yep. Kam said it and she also confirm she excited about their wedding. So it is happening. Travis tweeted it too, when D’Andra made the accusation. Dee setting D’Andra straight about her badgering of LeeAnne about her wedding was a classic mother knows best scene and it made D’Anrdra look so petty. What did Dee say ” I don’t care if they said I had fifty cents in my account. Be concerned about running your company, not LeeAnne’s.
business. From the current looks of things, D’Andra is standing in front of the train and not riding it.
Why would D’Andra throw away a true friendship with Leanne? It doesn’t make sense, unless D’Andra only used Leanne for access to the show.
Maybe now that D’Andra is on the show and getting publicity/attention (good or bad), she doesn’t care about their “friendship”? Or is D’Andra jealous that Leanne now has other rich friends?
Why actively destroy a real friendship ? Why share Leeanne’s secrets? Why imply cheating,etc., by your “friend’s” boyfriend? No friend would do that.
Did Leanne do something offscreen to hurt D’Andra ?
Maybe I missed something, I didn’t watch every episode last season.
Anyone have any ideas? I don’t get it.
Team LeeAnne- I agree with you that D’Andra and that idiot Brandi are making LeeAnne a target for air time. If D’Andra could run a business that would be a good storyline. Mama Dee knows her daughter is all talk and eye makeup.
‘all talk and eye makeup’ – bahahahaahahahahahhaahahhahahahaahhahahaahhahahahaa !!
TeamLeeAnne !
I wish I knew! It just doesn’t make sense.
It absolutely make no sense as to why she would trash her friendship with LeeAnne. Her mother reaction to her daughter badgering of LeeAnne was very telling. She likes LeeAnne and it appears she was little ticked that D’Andra would be involved in a petty fight with someone, D’Andra said was like a sister to her. It is all immature. I am beginning to think D’Andra could be jealous of LeeAnne’s popularity, especially after the look she gave her when she was voted “the prom” queen last week.
@Bougee: Bingo. D’Andra want to be the top dog on the show because deep down she thinks she’s better than LeeAnn. Love or hate her, LeeAnn is the star of the show.
I know. Its sad! I think D’Andre is a lost soul at the momment. I am starting to agree with her mom.
PCK 😁
LeeAnne’s one liners in her talking heads give me LIFE!! 😂 I actually kinda admire her this season. She’s not some innocent party on the show, nor have I seen her pretending to be but it’s obvious she’s working hard on improving herself, she’s not been outright nasty and she’s said sorry when she has been in the wrong, unlike the other two who double down on their ugly behaviour. Plus, she comes as a package with silver foxy! 😍😍
Mama Dee is the advice giver we all need in our lives!!
Why does Brandi always mention LeeAnne’s age and fact she doesn’t have kids every time she’s mentioned? I dunno about y’all but Brandi’s home life is not the bench mark I’d use to measure my own against and I don’t think its Lee’s either. I’d rather have peace than all the noise from having two very spirited children AND a baby and I’d rather be alone than have a sour faced husband that’s always away “on business” lol.
Till next time xo
GLHHHH!!! 😊😊
I’m so happy you see what I see. LeeAnne is far from perfect but seems to genuinely want to change. Brandi is such a mean girl that it’s just hard to watch. Omg YES with her putting LeeAnne down for not being married or having kids-that’s INFURIATING. Everyone has different paths and Brandi is NOT better than LeeAnne just because she went a different way. I really hope someone puts her in her place soon because it’s abhorrent thinking.
Talk soon!! Xoxo xoxo
LeeAnne is evolving and I particularly enjoy watching her inner rocker/hip hop fashion and social sense come to the surface past all that Texas foofurah. Brandi & D’Andra are hating it! And just jealous. Especially Brandi who despite having red hair and some prank knowledge is a basic. D’Andra too. They wish they had the signature styles and characters that LA, Kam and Stephanie are naturally developing.
I totally agree. I used to like brandi, but she is being so horrible this season, that I deleted my dvr setting to record the show after last week’s episode. Her behavior is so appalling that I cannot bring myself to watch her anymore. She infuriates me with her manipulative tactics. She’s the one doing exactly what she is accusing LeeAnn of doing. Disgusting.
LeeAnne was hilarious last night! If she could just narrate the whole show we’d be laughing the entire show.
Personally I’d prefer to do away with the talking heads and just have Mama Dee narrate the messiness… in a power suit, with a pipe 😂😂😂
I would definitely got for Dee in a power suit cranking out shade and one liners. 🙂
LeeAnn’s comment on how she wants to look good through plastic surgery so someone would bang her corpse was strange.
🙂 Hilarious always.
I love all her Confessionals! They are the best part of the show. And she is a natural! They just roll out of her.
D’Andra needs a new makeup artist and stylist…..that is all
That makeup and shiny clown style top were HORRIBLE !!!!
Pennywise with the geisha makeup.
NOT PENNYWISE! LMAO 😂
I so agree. I saw old pictures of her, she had light brown hair. It looked so much better.
Let the church say Amen! What the what? Why does D’Andra think her look is attractive? She is a pretty woman. Maybe she is channeling my grandmother’s favorite shows , the old Dallas and Dynasty.
She reminds me of Alexis Carrington/Joan Collins.
Seriously, WTF?!! The gold shirt??!! I get it, you and Mama see the irony of two Moguls of the skincare industry having bad necklines (see Mama Dee’s turtlenecks) but this was terrible. And the makeup, nooooooo. She looks so much better fresh faced. Practice simple clothes and simple makeup and a hair cut that will help the double chin and neckline. Damn! Why I am I writing all of this?!
Remember when we first met D’Andra and she seemed so calm and normal and above all of this drama? I thought of her as the rich one who somehow was friends with LeeAnne, but was so unlike her.
Now all of these women have said so many things about each other, they come up with different reasons for their issues and every different reason could be true. And all of it fueled by alcohol; it’s amazing they still speak to one another at all.
As long as Stephanie stays pure. I love that girl. Wish she had more self-esteem.
Yes to all of this! 🙂
IMO D’Andra is the new Siggy of Dallas.
Oooooh good call!! YES!! I agree!
I think D’andra is so afraid that she will be viewed as boring, and is jealous of how much attention LeeAnn gets, so she’s trying so hard to create drama to stay relevant. It’s pathetic, and really sad that she values their friendship so little, when LeeAnn is genuinely upset about losing her as a friend. At this point, she’s better off writing that one off…with fiends like that, who needs enemies?!
D’Andra looks more and more like Mortician Addams. Happy Halloween!
For some small reason, I think that the drama between LeeAnne and D’Andra and D’Andra and Mama Dee is manufactured.
LeeAnne’s ring is hideous.
Do I have LA’s quote right, “The distance between me and Jesus is a can of Aquanet?” I still laugh when I think of it. Texas women = big hair 😁
Who is LA? PLEASE READ THE COMMENTING RULES!
LeeAnne ha. Seen Sam use the abbreviation and it kinda just caught on. It’s not that ambiguous surely?
😂😂😂
Thank you
It is irritating to have to translate the abbreviations/ nicknames that some have posted.
I don’t want to think that hard, this blog is my escape from work.
THANK YOU!
How hard is it for people on phones to type out the name of whoever they are talking about? That is why it is a commenting rule.
That is why there are basic literacy requires here. For those of us who subscribe to comments, you should be able to read and understand who is being discussed without knowing the show, BECAUSE NAMES ARE USED!
Glad someone agrees with me about the hair & makeup. I think all of them tho. Had to change the channel when brandi was on. How she changes everything LeAnn says is so irritating. Stephanie is finally seeing the light with Brandi . Started last year DAndra showing her true colors, distancing herself from Leann, wanting to hang with the “cool girls” ugh.
I also keep wondering why D’Andra and LeeAnne have had a falling out. And wonder if it was something offscreen. But I also wonder if D’Andra, as the wealthy one, always was HBIC of their relationship — being LeeAnne’s entree into Dallas society. Then, when D’Andra joined the show, she expected to be HBIC over LeeAnne on the show. When it didn’t happen that way, D’Andra got pissed and they started to feud. Just a theory.
It seems as if now that Stephanie is becoming more self-assured, her relationship with Brandi is doomed. She no longer has to rely just on Brandi for friendship and the distance is opening her eyes. I am not a LeeAnne fan, but Brandi’s performance in the car at the end of the episode was really desperate and transparent. Things don’t look good for Brandi.
Did anyone catch the previews? Where women were all telling D’Andra that her place in Dallas society was at risk? Kam especially? They were discussing the Kcup incident (so stupid — there is no reason to believe that Brandi taught that to D’Andra as it looked like a silly college girl trick; plus LeeAnne’s dance at the rodeo was more horrifying yet she skates free.). IDK how all of Dallas would learn about the Kcup thing or D’Andra’s financial “issues” if they weren’t spread by LeeAnne and/or Kam? Assuming this all was filmed before it went on tv. I think Kam is a big gossip and so far has managed to come off as innocent.
I am replacing “I don’t give a funky rat ass” with “I don’t give a dog’s rip”. Lol!:-)
The best part of the episode was Brandi saying she comes from a good place with LeAnn.
I will say it in my best Leanne voice: Pleeeeeeeaaaaaaase….
To be continued in LeeAnne’s voice…And if a frog had wings it wouldn’t bump its ass a-hopping
Ah and I just wanted to say that this is my second favorite RH show so I will probably have to start gofundme campaign to save it from cancellation! Or sleep with someone from Netflix. But who would want my old ass!
H-O-R-R-I-B-L-E! It sort of reminded me of a clown with that twisted to tight bun and demented make up. Carson called it her Dynasty look on WWHL last night. She need a makeover ASAP.
Computer glitch. I don’t know why that comment was posted twice. What I wanted to really say is I don’t think it will be cancelled. Andy said last night he is really enjoying RHOD this season. And,apparent he loves the matriarch of the Westcott family (one of Dee’s friends), who will be introduced next week. That pretty much tells me that RHOD is not going anywhere. All the wealth people drama makes Bravo salivate.
I guess I’m (again?) in the minority here, but I’m Team Brandi/D’Andra. In the past three seasons, LeeAnne has exploited the other cast members’ weak spots on camera. During Seasons 1 and 2, she insinuated Cary was a “homewrecker” and Mark was a “cheater”. And during Season 2, she took advantage of Brandi’s temporary split from Stephanie to try to turn her against Stephanie and Cary.
Early this season, I was open to believing LeeAnne has changed her ways. But when we catch her on camera attacking Brandi’s character (again), insinuating Brandi adopted Bruin to save her marriage to Bryan (again, exploiting what Brandi previously revealed about her past marital issues), suggesting that Brandi and D’Andra are alcoholics, and spreading rumors about D’Andra right when she was struggling in her relationship with her mother, it gets harder for me to believe LeeAnne has genuinely changed for the better.
Thank you, Kelly, for doing these RHOD recaps, and I hope you don’t take my comments as criticism of you. I guess I just see things differently on the show, and I’m glad you and TT provide the space for us to talk about RHOD.
Agree totally with what you said.
I’m with you. I don’t believe LA does anything for altruistic reason. Gong that bowl all you want. She’s calculating in everything she says and does
Hi atdleft!!! Thank you for commenting and I really appreciate the different point of view! I’ve watched from the beginning and in my opinion, LeeAnne has owned all of her crazy, hurtful and outlandish behavior. Brandi continues to be mean and manipulative without owning a thing. So that’s the difference for me. Do you see Brandi when she constantly knocks LeeAnne down, putting her down for not being married, for having no family? I think that’s pretty low and she does it constantly.Just my opinion but again THANK YOU for commenting! I love all of the discussion because at the end of the day, we’re all passionate about these Dallas ladies! =)
And thanks to everyone playing nice here. No hurtful trashing of others opinions. In fact, it helps me see other sides of what’s going on the show.
I have been a watcher from episode 1 too Pop C. Brandi has never owned the crap she constantly stir. She is skilled at deflecting and she is to the extreme passive aggressive in her behaviors. Sort of psychotic zombie mode.
And she’s a basic boring bitch with no style.
I agree with your comment, reading these comments I rewatched the episode to see if i saw the wrong one lol nope. I think I might start my own drinking game with take a sip of wine each time Kam nods her head, she reminds of a dashboard bobble head doggie.
It’s very strange.
Leanne is very thirsty she reminds me of Porsha in a lot of ways.
Ha! Ha! You’re right Cameron does bobble her head. Reading other’s comments have made me look at the ladies in the way other commenters see them. Someone posted to my comment about how they can see Brandi as a mean girl so now I see their point. She can act like a high school mean girl.
Kam nodding😂😂😂 it’s true!
Finally I agree with everything you said.
LeAnne is psycho, but she owns it. Brandi and D’Andra are just awful. Trying to be relevant I guess.
Also, did you see Brandi’s husbands face when they were eating with their son? Watch when he looks away. That dude is acting like he is happy… for sure!
why would anyone marry someone who looks like themself? this really bothers me
D’Andra may have a drinking problem and is pushing those closest to her away, because they aren’t afraid to say something. Something definitely seems off with her lately
yeah…where’s her husband this season?
Listening Mama Dee makes me think there should be a collection of quips from her and Captain Lee.
TeamLeeAnne all the way. Brandi is crazier than a shit house rat. She seems too really thrive off bad juju. Pretty embarrassing for a 3rd time mom. Does she not have enough to do? I feel like D’Andra has ridden on LeeAnnes coat tails for quite sometime and is creating this drama to make a name for herself on the franchise. Good luck with that. I get why her mom has no faith in her now. She lacks independence and is juuuust slightly codependent. Also, anyone noticed how triggered Brandi was with LeeAnnes comment? People who live in glass houses, Brandi. Methinks LeeAnnes comment hit just a bit close to home. And I love it. You don’t want to play fair, why should you expect the other person to?
Brandi’s eyes opened the widest they’ve ever been.
I’m not a regular viewer but from what I saw, Brandi and D’Andra seem to be manipulating the women to go against LeeAnne. LeeAnne was making a comparison when she mentioned the adoption & she didn’t call D’Andra an alcoholic.
I’ve also seen random episodes where Brandi called LeeAnne some very hurtful things. She’s not innocent and lives in a glass house herself.
BTW I want whatever Mama D is selling. Her face, jawline and neck are smoother than some of the other ladies!
D’Andra does not have a great face for a skin care line. Mortisha Addams (with a chicken neck). That skin tone is not based in nature. That said, it seems pretty obvious that D’Andra is trying to take Leanne down. That started pretty much in the first episode before the $200 bank account comment off camera remark by Leanne. So, D’Andra has teamed up with Brandi to go after Leanne. Dimwits. Major fail.
Also agree with the comments that Brandi’s husband seems to detest her. I feel his pain.
I am Team LeAnne all the way. I find Brandi totally irritating this season, well more than last season (and that is saying a lot) . I don’t understand how she is not concerned that someone from the adoption place might get wind of her love of the drink. Not that I don’t mind a cocktail or two but for someone that is worried about what her children might say to the visiting social workers she sure doesn’t give a hoot what comes out of her mouth or what goes in it for that matter. I am finding that whole situation a bit suspect.
I don’t know what it is about the men on this show but (except for Rich I guess) there is something a bit off with them and their relationships with the women. One of the reasons I love M2M is because they truly have relationships and you can feel that. These guys just feel cold as ice to me. Carey’s husband is just very strange.
I feel like D’andra and her Mom are very good manipulators and that is what they are doing to get both their companies back on track and the word out there. I know her Mom says she is retiring and all that but I am sure her hand will still be in the piggy bank somewhere.
The scene with Steph and her sister kind of broke my heart a little. Steph just seems kind of lost out there. I feel so bad that she is so anxiety ridden about paying bills. She is totally way to dependent on her husband and she needs a good dose of woman power. I fear for women like that if there spouse dies or there is a divorce it is tough going. Look at Shannon!
Now Kelly for the really important stuff!!!!! I am hoping tonight wraps it up and we are on our way. I almost didn’t survive last night! LOL . My husband said that he hopes the win tonight so HE can have a rest. LOL . GO SOX!!!!
OMG WE’RE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHH!!!! What an amazing series! We’re getting married next Friday, and the that’s Game 3 so I’ve been on the phone all morning arranging for tv’s to be at the bar so we can keep tabs!! 😂😂😂😂 So freakin exciting! Ok, now to Dallas-I agree with all you said especially the whole drinking while under a microscope thing. I’m not sure why she’s doing that on camera when she was afraid to breathe a few episodes ago? And yes, Steph breaks my heart too. She’s so sweet and insecure. I wish she would find more confidence. Oh how can Mama Dee hand the company over to someone who doesn’t know how to replenish stock? lol.
The society hierarchy is where I believe there is a big disconnect with a lot of the audience. This isn’t Beverly Hills. They are better about focusing on charity, but now for silly things behind closed doors to be a huge deal (the K cup) is ridiculous.
The entire season stems from the LeeAnne/Deandra conflict. If they don’t patch it up from the top, it won’t trickle down. At first, Brandi was very nice as told Steph to be friends with who she wanted, that she was a wonderful person. “ITS NOT MY BUSINESS WHO STEPHANIE IS FRIENDS WITH”. I was proud of their new boundaries. Lee Anne is right, it’s when D’Andra filled her ear, she became more leery of her sincerity. Pretty normal reaction to finding out she “betrays her own best friend.” Brandi is not ALL bad guy. Then we had Cary being the town crier when nobody meant harm (but I get what she was trying to do and I’m glad Steph told her she was looking like a pot stirrer.)
I think this starts at the top. LeeAnne and Brandi had no chance while she’s friends with D’Andra while they are feuding. That’s the only plot of the show……besides the sparkle dog food. Nobody has clean hands. I’d sure like to see this get fixed. I’m seeing some pageant winning acts by several and they need more substance to the show than this being the focus.
