Good evening and HAPPY HALLOWEEN Y’ALL!!!!!!!!!! I just wanted to take a second to thank everyone who congratulated and wished myself and Mr. PopCulture Kelly well on our wedding. It was perfect and flew by way too fast! Our next wedding y’all are invited =) We open with Cary and Zuri making invite baskets for the upcoming group trip to Copenhagen. It’s an odd mix of pickle herring, danish pastry and beer that the ladies will get in the mail so…she wants to poison them before the trip even happens.
Stephanie is getting her hair dyed for her upcoming vow renewal. She doesn’t know too many details but it seems Travis is working hard to make it special for her. All the gift baskets arrive and they react to the baskets the same way you would if you got fish in the mail. Stephanie will go to Copenhagen,once she’s told where it is.
LeeAnne goes wedding dress shopping with her friends not named D’Andra. Stephanie arrives to help LeeAnne is looking for a simple wedding dress and is happy with positive friends that are there. She tries on a bunch of dresses that are all beautiful. LeeAnne says that D’Andra was invited but she isn’t coming. Stephanie hopes that they can resolve their issues before the wedding because they will both regret letting an argument ruin their friendship.
D’Andra goes to see Mama Dee at the office. Mama Dee is ready to hand the reins over to D’Andra which makes her happy. She fills Mama Dee in on all the LeeAnne and Kam drama that’s happened. D’Andra feels that LeeAnne is being cruel by bringing up D’Andra’s drinking to Mama Dee. Dee thinks it’s time for D’Andra to let LeeAnne go. D’Andra tells Dee about Kam and Jimmy’s discussion and Mama Dee says she should have shut that down immediately. D’Andra tells her that Kam “attacked” her and Mama Dee tells her to be mean in return and not to let them walk all over her. I wonder what they will think when they watch these episodes? The anger and ability to just throw a long term friendship away just seems so off.
Kam is attempting to slice an apple but a bread knife wasn’t cutting it. She may not be the sharpest knife but has she ever looked more beautiful than in this scene? She looks so soft and pretty, love or hate her. LeeAnne stops by and tells Kam that she had texted D’Andra to invite her wedding dress shopping and got a short decline response. Kam then tells LeeAnne about her argument with D’Andra and she’s really upset by how D’Andra lashed out at her. Kam is happy that she isn’t going to the pajama party even LeeAnne planned for D’Andra.
LeeAnne is stuck hosting a pajama party event for “Hard night/Good morning” and the Green Miracle reboot of D’Andra’s, and all the ladies arrive in their finest pajamas. Brandi and Cary arrive and Mama Dee immediately threatens Cary that if anything happens to D’Andra, then someone will die. Oh boy. D’Andra is feeling validated by the success of the pop up. Cary and D’Andra talk outside and D’Andra tells Cary how disappointed she is with Kam and the way she and Jimmy had approached her. D’Andra feels like Kam is a mean girl and Cary isn’t buying it. She doesn’t think Kam’s intentions were bad, and Cary wants them to all talk it out. D’Andra won’t talk anymore and doesn’t want to go on the trip. Cary is as confused as we all are by how angry D’Andra is and Cary can’t understand why D’Andra thinks it’s all about her. Ultimately, D’Andra agrees to go on the trip.
LeeAnne and Mama Dee talk and Mama Dee is seemingly supportive of her friendship with D’Andra. Mama Dee is trying to talk to LeeAnne and then Cary comes over and interrupts. LeeAnne tells Cary that she’s nervous to go on the trip but Cary reassures her that it will be fine. Brandi, Cary, D’Andra and Mama Dee go outside to talk and Mama Dee and D’Andra jump right in to throwing LeeAnne under the bus by saying LeeAnne thinks Brandi and D’Andra drink too much. In her talking head Brandi says that the word alcoholism could potentially have Bruin taken away-then why show up to film when you’re noticeably drunk? Just curious. Brandi co-signs D’Andra and LeeAnne fighting and is happy that D’Andra is “becoming herself”.
Stephanie is preparing for her vow renewal. Brandi arrives but won’t be able to stay for the ceremony. Cary is sick but still shows up. Stephanie is happy that she’s getting along with everybody but Travis planned it and didn’t invite all the ladies. Brandi brings up LeeAnne and Stephanie feels in the middle with Brandi and LeeAnne. Brandi plans to confront LeeAnne in Copenhagen so that should work out well. Travis surprised Steph by having her original Maid of Honor Sarah flown in for the vow renewal. Steph was in tears, it was very sweet. Steph wears her original wedding dress and she looks gorgeous. Brandi and Bryan leave and Steph is disappointed. Travis gives their youngest son the ring he got last episode to hold in his pocket. It’s actually very sweet, their boys are right next to them and Stephanie is overwhelmed by how lucky she is.
The ladies pack for Copenhagen and Kam tortures Court by having him help pick out some outfits. D’Andra tells Jeremy that she’s nervous about the trip and Jeremy says he should just talk to Kam. The all arrive at the airport and Brandi upgraded to first class so that she could avoid LeeAnne. Cary, Steph and Kam all fly first class while LeeAnne and D’Andra fly coach. Cary thinks the trip could be a disaster and it very well could be.
Next time: The ladies tour Copenhagen and Brandi confronts LeeAnne for using the word alcoholic. Kam confronts D’Andra and LeeAnne and D’Andra nearly get physical. Pheeww! That was a lot. How do you all feel about what we just saw? Can D’Andra and LeeAnne ever repair their friendship? Can’t wait to chat in the comments! Thank you all for reading-let’s do it again next Wednesday, but an hour later as RHONJ takes Dallas’s time slot =(
Can’t stand Kameron. I’m not sure why she is on this show.
Loved that Mama Dee stuck up for D’Andra.
I wish they’d all clear up this mess with LeeAnne. It’s so bad that I feel sorry for her.
I wish they’d replace Kameron with Kelli Raspberry.
I’m so excited! The hubs and I will be VIPs at the Thanksgiving Dallas Cowboys football game in Dallas at Jerry World!!
I’m a Masshole so forgive me, but who is Kelli Raspberry?And that sounds awesome!
local radio personality–and she would be fantastic!
I so agree on the Kelly Raspberry sentiment! She would make a great addition.
I too would LOVE to see Kelly Raspberry on the show! That would be a hoot!
I like Keli Raspberry, but uh no. Kameron is never going to be replaced. Andy loves her and said on WWHL he met and really like Jimmy too. Fans just need to get use to Kameron being on the show. If they add another wife for next season, I am hoping it is Pat and Emmitt Smith. They are all in on charity and Smith Charities does a lot for children. And, they have the money to run with the pack.
She’s bad enough I’ll probably stop watching. She’s as bad as Dorit.
I don’t see the comparison, but okay.
Except kamerons family has money and standing and Dorit is plastic fantastic and fake as hell
Kam has grown on me 🤔 I feel like she’s in on how ridiculous she is and just doesn’t care. I like her….please don’t throw green pouches at me lol
I like her too Pop C. 🙂
I like her this season too.
oh no the vow renewal… come on I so think Travis cheats on Stephanie…..he is going away for what a month and Stephanie has concerns? so weird. He’s a douche.
I don’t get a good feeling about him either. I’ve seen this type before. I so hope I’m wrong because Stephanie seems sweet.
I agree. She seems so sweet.
Usually when you suspect something, your instincts are spot on.
Maybe Steph has seen Mr Hollman come home late or going on mysterious business trips, such as the Harvard trip, when someone said you could take the class online.
She seems like a sweet girl from Oklahoma, that he married and took advantage of. Remember when he made her do chores to earn her keep, like washing the driveway down or cleaning out the garage? That seemed weird that a multimillionaire would keep his wife busy cleaning for her allowance.
Now Mr Hollman is posting on IG that doesn’t he look just like Josh Brolin, and they both pick hot wives.
Hmm, vow renewals are never a good sign in the Bravo universe.
I have no idea how the Josh Brolin comparisons are being made! All I see is an aged Adam Devine… he even has the same boyish attitude. 😂😂 I do like Travis though. He’s much improved since season one, unlike his best mate Bryan lol.
It’s been mentioned before but in his conversation with Stephanie about going to college again, he said something to the effect of there are 20 case studies and you know how long it will take me to read page 1.
As a retired teacher, a student with dyslexia needs all the clues to reading that he/she can get. Being in the room with the professor will be a bonus for Travis. Their son seems to have inherited his dyslexia and that was why Stephanie was so worried about his education in the 1st or 2nd season. I think Travis KNOWS he would fail an on-line course and isn’t even confident about passing being there in person.
Guess we’ll see if he’s a cheater but there haven’t been rumors on the show of his infidelity. Until then, I’ll just be happy for Stephanie. It’s difficult not to like her and cheer for her fairy tale to be true.
Do y’all remember the first season and how Travis would leave chore lists and stuff for Stephanie to do and kind of treated her like a child? I am wondering if he saw how he came off looking and flipped a switch and that’s what this season and last we are seeing a different Travis. Just seems really strange for her to be so worried he is leaving for a month. I mean I get how she will miss him and all but it almost seems like she doesn’t think she can do life with out him. I do think Brandi has a drinking problem, she doesn’t seem happy in her life at all and her husband still isn’t around much. Babies don’t fix that. Caris husband seems to be a bit less creepy and overbearing, she seems so much more at peace. I worry about D’Andra, I really like her so much but she seems to be just busting out all over. And her husband is hot!
Omg the chore lists! That killed me. He seems better this season so maybe he did. Steph is very dependent on him so it would be nice to see her gain some independence. I wish that for her this season. And I also wish for clarity at D’Andra’s anger. It’s so strange isn’t it?
I am really liking Stephanie this season. She is just a sweet girl from Oklahoma raised in wholesome environment and she loves her husband, I she becomes more independent too. I am with you Pop C. Something just not right about D’Andra’s anger towards LeeAnne. Apparently, she is still at and LeeAnne blocked. Now, she she whining on social media that she was hurt. Um, okay? Something in the buttermilk an’t clean with that one. I sure the there is a reunion reveal.
I think that chore list was partly Stephanie’s fault. She didn’t want to make decisions and plan her day so she let him do it. The reason she is anxious about him being gone for a month is because she suffers from anxiety that in the past has led to depression and a suicide attempt. She has relied on Travis to keep her calm and centered and away from from going there again. I think she has grown enough to get through a month without him but I do understand why she nervous about it.
One reason Stephanie might be worried about Travis going away is the kids. It’s obvious she has difficulty disciplining them. I don’t think Brandi has a drinking problem, I think we see her letting loose when she’s not watching the kids. In addition to two kids who probably have ADHD, she has a newborn and takes advantage when she’s allowed freedom. Her car ride with the girls is almost every car ride with my girls.
She was cruising around that jewelry store with Travis with a flute of champagne and the baby. Then I’m sure she drove home from there. Was she impaired, I don’t know but I never even had a drink when mine were that little. I was afraid that something would happen and I wouldn’t be able to drive or what ever.
I’m with you therealdeb. I just can’t with the kids around, not to say she has an issue because I don’t know, but if she’s worried about her reputation with the adoption, she doesn’t do herself favors.
Didn’t D’Andra imply that Brandi abused Adderall? I guess being accused of being a drug addict is better than being accused of being an alcoholic and more forgivable. I don’t buy this sudden we are besties charade. I think Brandi does crap like that to get under LeAnn’s skin.
D’Andra’s make up drives me crazy just like her mother’s.
Yes, yes, yes to all of this! ⬆⬆⬆⬆
Yes, these ladies are notorious for twisting Leanne’s words. I’m not a big fan of Leanne, but I really think she’s trying. And I thought D’Andra looked like Elvira!
I thought she looked like Elvira too.
Right. Their story line is LeeAnne. it is so obvious. Brandi not offended by being referred to as a drug addict, but get unhinged with being labeled an alcoholic. She was so afraid of LeeAnne last season for say she was going to kill her, but not afraid of wicked eyed Dee Simmons threatening to do them harm if anything happen to baby Dee. Brandi so fake and a hypocrite.
Is it a requirement to ooh and awe at a woman in any and all bridal gowns? LeeAnne in the cape reminded me of some Disney villian.
And Stephanie looked beautiful but something about the bodice reminded me of Madonna’s ’89 Truth or Dare cone bra tour
Another week another drama! 😋
The “plain and boring” dress suited LeeAnne the best imo. It looked very elegant whereas the others were a bit… drag queen-like, as bad as that sounds. Steph looked gorgeous at her renewal. I can’t believe Brandi went along and spent the short amount of time she had with her best friend talking about LeeAnne *sigh*. She’s obsessed.
I completely get D’andra and Mama Dee feeling some kind of way about anyone bringing up “drinking issues” as it hits close to home. That being said, LeeAnne never said to Mama Dee or anyone else that D’andra or Brandi are alcoholics so they’re all talking out their arses. On top of that… Brandi drinks EVERY episode (sometimes with her kids very much present), her daughter’s both told the social workers she deals with family problems with wine and her new BFF accused her of abusing Adderall! 😂😂 If she’s concerned about her image because of the adoption she should maybe focus on the facts instead of fabricated issues.
On the “society” behavioural aspect, I’m fully on D’Andras side with this. D’andra owes zip to Kameron (who btw looked stunning this ep), LeeAnne or any other socialites on the Dallas scene. Life is for living ladies, stop worrying what others think!
I swear I will edit my comments down one day to be more cohesive 😝. Till next time xo
GLH!!!!!!!!! Hahaha yes it was and I am with you 1,000 percent. You’re cohesive and I love it so thank you!!! No editing for you!!! =)
Please don’t edit your comments– they are thoroughly enjoyable. Keep them coming.
Aw thanks guys 😊
I think D’Andra was right about LeeAnne finding a shiny new socialite in Kam. LeeAnne has probably had other ‘best friends’ who have been her in to Dallas society. Now she has Kam since it seems D’Andra is focused on work. But what I don’t understand is that if Kam is so worried about image, why is she on this show? I mean they want to bring up the K-Cup thing all the time as if it were something egregious like a DUI or chasing a boyfriend with a knife and sandpaper.
That obnoxious clutch the pearsl drama exchange at Kams house about. D was cringeworthy. Thirsty much Leanne? Ridiculous much Kam? Good grief. Dear baby Jesus! How dare D possibly be so irresponsible as to publicly besmirch the good Simpson name. Girls, take some seats. And get an acting coach…stat!
In the first two seasons show opening LeeAnne was in the center holding the star, this year it is Brandi. D’Andra is fighting hard to become head bitch star holder. I really liked her when she first came on the show. Not so much anymore.
I think D’Andra and LeeAnne can repair their friendship, if Brandi get out of the way. I truly understand why Brandi is concerned with being called an alcoholic, but she doesn’t get it. It is how she behaves and her showing up drunk at events and making reference to jesus juice and Brandi equal fun is of her own doing. She put the target onher back and did the self promotion for 3 yrs. People may say it, but her public behavior proves it. So, stop blaming other for giving the public the perception that she is an alcoholic.
Mama Dee’s reaction to little Dee drama with LeeAnne is the same for any mother knowing her daughter is being bullied. The sad thing is D’Andra is leaving out important information that expose her has the instigator int her drama with LeeAnne. Dee threatened the ladies lives, if little Dee is harmed on the trip. I wonder if Branid is terrified of Dee as she was so terrified of LeeAnne last year. She is such a hypocrite.
Best shade goes to Dee reaction to hearing Jimmy was the Grand Dame of Dallas (Kam never said that) “Oh, she is?” and Court asking Kam was she going to use her Dior clutch to punch D’Andra. Lol!
Finally, what in the hell was that costume Steve, the wedding planner, had on at the party?
I really hope they can and yes, what was the costume?!?!!?
I don’t like how dependent on Travis Stephanie is. It seems worse this season than it has been before. She did look great in her wedding gown but a vow renewal on TV is the kiss of death for marriage. Maybe they can break the curse.
I get why D’Andra is mad at Kam, that was a total setup from “The Society” to be aware of her behavior. The 2 of them should be able to work that out. Now the LeeAnn situation, I dunno. It will be interesting to see what happens on the trip. When D’Andra was talking to Mama Dee at the office Mama Dee reminded me of Jerry Jones with the facial expressions and words she was using.
Off to Denmark we go…..
Stephanie’s concern over her husband going away for 3 weeks seems extreme. There must be some serious trust issues if you need to renew your vows before a 3 week trip. Also, how about the comment that he made during her toast. What a jerk to say that infront of her parents and the other guests. I thought that showed a total lack of respect for her. She will be getting divorced next season.
I think it’s 6 weeks but I could be wrong. Her fear is still a bit much.
She could just hop on a plane and go see him
Travis looks a lot like Joyce Girauds husband Michael, no (at least in this picture)?
I am loving Kam, LeeAnne and Stephanie.
Best Housewives on Bravo.
It seems Brandi is jealous of Stephanie.
I don’t blame her because who wouldn’t be?
Coming up with some excuse about her husband and an event?
Isn’t Brandi’s husband travelling most of the time?
I’d warn Stephanie to watch out.
Nothing more dangerous than a jealous human being who is your so-called friend.
Brandi’s hubby had a prior bizniz event that they committed to. Brandi made up for not staying for the ceremony by helping Travis plan every aspect of their vow renewal. That’s a true friend. Yes, Steph was disappointed they couldn’t stay but I believe they came back to to the party after their event. Remember, Brandi and Travis have been friends for over 20 years. They’re good.
I don’t get posts like this — it’s obvious you are posting Brandi PR talking points which means you’re (1) Brandi, (2) working for Brandi or (3) obsessed Brandi fangirl (which, btw, ‘ew!)
And you’re mistake is thinking you’re fooling the rest of us.
So true.
People, I want to make something clear: pickle herrings are awesome! They come not only in oil but also in vinegar! They are very popular in Scandinavia and Eastern Europe. Taste before you judge! 😀
hahaha I’m sure the taste is great but the smell in the mail though…??? =)
It’s in a jar so there is no smell until you open it 😀
Ok. ‘Pickled Herring in Sour Cream’ is on offer in my grocery store, alongside the oil and vinegar varieties in the seafood department. I can’t stand a food shamer, but I just cannot conjure a situation in which I’d say to myself, “you know, I have such a yin for shelf-stable fish packed in a dairy product.” I’ll have to just be a hypocrite on this one issue, at least. What a singular palate one must have to find that appealing!
It’s right on par with gefilte fish. Do people voluntarily eat that, or is it just bought in accordance with requirements for the readings on Jewish holidays? I’ve always wondered. Any Jewish readers here who can educate me on this?
I voluntarily always have pickled herring on hand, love it! It’s a Scandinavian thing. Wine herring is yummy too…
Memories I will cherish (for at least a few days) from last nights episode…
1. Leann repeating everything Kameron said about D’Andra, only much more emphactically. Leann is so far up Kamerons butt she doesn’t want to come out. It was laugh out loud funny!!
2. Mama Dee morphing into Mama Bear Grrr!!
3. Stephanie’s’ tears when she was expressing her gratitude. Other housewives should pay attention to what true sincerity and REAL tears look like.
4. Where’s Copenhagen??
5. Leann’s embarrassed look to the camera when she realized how much an upgrade to 1st class would be. Although I did admire how quick on her feet she was when saying she’d spend it elsewhere… PS – I wonder why her bestie Kameron didn’t help her out, or at least offer to sit in Coach with her? Bwahhh, I cracked myself up with that last comment 🙂
6. Awkwardness in Coach as both D’Andra and Leann ignored the other. I don’t know, wouldn’t this have been a great opportunity to talk and possibly straighten things out? Or a for a transatlantic cat fight…
Anyway, a great episode
Hahahaah I love #1 the most and I was dying while recapping lol. But yes to all of those!!!
#6. I agree but I bet production didn’t want them sitting together, working out their problems (or having another huge fight) off camera.
Bingo. I agree with you Suzy Jane.
Travis looks like a Discount Josh Brolin, right? I feel for Leanne…she seems to really be trying to change and is being pushed to her limits….
Does anyone know if D’Andra is Glenn Simmons’ biological daughter?? Or did Dee marry him already having a child?? They speak of D’Andra’s biological father committing suicide (also being an alcoholic) but if I remember correctly Glenn Simmons died of a heart attack. Any commenters from the Dallas area know the true story???
I believe it’s been said on the show that Glen Simmons was D’Andra’s step father and she took his last name. Apparently, she inherited money from both her biological father and her step father.
I love RHOD, they make fun of themselves and seem like decent people.
I like D’Andra, but at what point is she going to realize she is 49 going on 50, not 17 going on 18?!
I rewatched again… I’m wondering why Kamerons voice %1000 changes when speaking to her husband and family.!
In every other sitch she’s totally vocal fry Ella legally blonde stroking her hair extensions.
Then the.. what shall I pack why her hobbit sat and gripes about Deeandra that inflection is gone. Christ is she trying to be an actress? Am I being snowed?
Stephanie’s home is insane. As the multitude of housewives homes get s free real estate ad. I seriously wonder if I went 30,000 feet with an indoor pool or swans or Chanel labeled service buttons would I do what I do now. Which means everyone’s unwinded and Lord help me everyone’s in my room and bed while we hash life out? I’d miss my peeps. I have lupus I’d get real fucking sick of roaming around trying to find my family. I miss sweet home ok and pumps😟
You are hysterical. Lupus sucks and I hope you are doing ok.
Girl you are spot on, Kameron puts on an act according to the audience.Stephanie is my spirit animal or housewife angel, she is humbled and blessed, I look forward to her scenes in the show.
The fakest friendship though is Cameron and Leanne, there’s absolutely nothing in common, lots of hypocrisy (mostly on Ks part) and some propping oneself.up (by L) to make.her look better. Dallas.hugh society what utter bull. The world is much bigger than them.mrs high.heel.standards is as dumb as a bag of rocks.
Kameron is a total fake on this show. She is very careful not to do anything that might reflect badly on her or the “famous” Wescott family. That’s why she had the irrational OTT reaction to D’Andra saying her feelings were hurt by the comments made at the lake house by Kam and her MIL. And I don’t for a minute believe they had D’Andra’s interest at heart. How would anyone know about the Kcup “incident” if Kam and/or LeeAnne hadn’t spread it around? And why is she allowed to be friends with LeeAnne, with her floor-writhing and lap dancing or her oral sex imitation on tv?
You see what I see, the truth in the fake dance number Kameron is pulling over all of TV land it’s a little insulting from my perspective.
I just have one question Does anyone else think D’Andra’s husband is gayish?
And D’Andra said she wants to be the spokesperson for her skincare line cause her skin looks good for 49, do you agree? I actually think the opposite and wayyyyyyyy too much makeup.
And Leanne is really trying to change and I love Stephanie and Cary for taking that seriously.
I love Kameron and Leanne having each other’s back hard, it’s so refreshing in the housewives franchises.
Brandi looks like a troll in certain lighting and if she doesn’t want to risk her adoption then why be drunk on Camera???
Mama Dee really disappointed me for lying that Leanne said Alcoholic and for taking sides so hard, my mom would have just tried to get us back to being friends.
Ohhhhh one more thing Leanne has the least money and I think that’s why those other ladies started from day one with their noses turned up at her.
I hate that!!!!!!
The first time I saw Kameron’s pink round earrings with the bow, I thought they were condoms. She wears them all the time!
Andy pointed that out to her on WWHL and she looked so embarrassed. I loved it. That girl annoys me to no end with her superiority complex. I have no patience for people who think they are better-than. Frankly, it smacks of new money. Most people I know who grew up with money don’t put on those airs.
don’t get the kameron/leeanne alliance at all!! is leeanne going to drag kameron’s status/family name (she married into) down??? kameron is ridiculous and constantly twists things so she can act mad/outraged. very fake! i think d’andra is right — kam has to walk on eggshells re husbands family. wondering how leeanne lives the way she does?? fiance retired cop w/multiple marriages behind him and she has no evident income except the show?? how does she support herself and do all this charity work w/out $$$ or source of income???
Question: why do you ask this every week? Do her finances bother you that much? Shes doesn’t exactly come off as Stephanie’s level of fabulousness lol. Her and Rich have enough money between them (despite what you think of his earning potential in law enforcement) to live in a decent house. As for everything else, she’s already said in season one that she borrows, rents or buys from vintage / thrift stores for a lot of her high end clothes. She’s a RHW on a budget y’all 😋
I think Brandi is nasty. I don’t think she’s funny and I find her to be extremely obnoxious and hateful. I’m not a prude in any way, but when she was talking about dirty twats and knowing all about them from being on a kick line, I really got grossed out. Her girls are horrible brats and she DOES drink way too much to have a young baby even if she does have a nanny. Geez! I’ve never been a fan, but this year I have zero tolerance for her. I think what started me going this season was when she told Stephanie that LeeAnne was only pretending to be her friend to upset her (Brandi) and I could tell that really hurt Stephanie’s feelings. Disclaimer: I’m medicated so I’m feeling chatty.
