Right after we saw Porsha have her baby, we get to see Candiace walk down the aisle on this RHOP Recap. From the looks of the previews, it’s a quite dramatic episode. I’m not a fan of Candiace. Not just because of the way her name is spelled, but because of THIS. So lets get her one moment in time over with.
Gizelle Bryant
Just from pulling photos alone, it seems obvious to me that Gizelle is the star of this franchise. She’s in pretty much every scene. I’m not mad about that. I’d love to have time to read her new “fiction” book. Gizelle and her friend Kal going to workout. Y’all know how thrilled I am to see real housewives workout, no matter how much I like them. Also, I feel like this scene may have been filmed after an upcoming scene for continuity purposes.
Candiace Dillard
Can some explain to me how we are supposed to believe that that a spoiled brat whose mother is “paying for” this extravagant wedding (pretty sure that is Bravo) hasn’t seen her wedding dress two days before the wedding? It’s very “Cinderella” and there is a lot of strappy stuff happening on her shoulders. Whatever those straps are supposed to be about are making her neckline crooked. But, it is more important for these two to fight about the step-brother coming to the wedding.
Candiace’s Wedding Day
An hour before the wedding, Gizelle gets a call from Sherman saying he has decided he is not going to take her to Candiace’s wedding. She’s acting like a sixteen year old who was stood up for prom. Get a grip, girl! The dramatic music make it seem like someone died.
Meanwhile, Candiace is not happy with her hair for the wedding. Or her mother. She tells the glam squad to keep her mom out of the room. So, she seems pretty miserable on her wedding Day.
This is the first time that Monique has been around most of these ladies since last season. Both Gizelle and Ashley have beef with her, so even more drama is coming. Monique is pissed that Ashley called her out on her drunk driving accident. So, Gizelle is pissed that Monique put Sherman’s arrest for some sort of dalliance in the park on blast. DAYUM. Gizelle’s black and white pants look is stunning! She sure cleaned up nice after that adolescent breakdown. It’s a stunning look. And we see her from the car arrival to her entrance. Because, smoking hot.
Is A Wedding Holding Pen A Real Thing?
I’m not really sure what is going on. Gizelle and Kal, her last minute escort, along with Karen and her husband and others are told they can’t go in until Candiace is at the front of the auditorium. I guess they are all late? Or, it’s a Bravo stunt to have Gizelle and Karen in confined space.

At any rate, Candiace’s father walks her down the aisle and her step-father meets them and continues the walk with her. He mom joins them at the altar. Then everyone else is allowed in. Thank God Gizelle is there to point out that the groom has strung together some R&B lyrics as his vows. Gizelle asks, “Who Does that?” Then answers her own question, “A White Guy With A Brown Dick.” It was really bad.
The Monique Effect
Robyn and Juan were so late they missed the whole wedding. Who does that? Monique is the supposed reason that Sherman didn’t want to come to the wedding. This is the same storyline from Eva’s wedding where the whole thing becomes about someone else. The thing is Gizelle is much more palatable. And I don’t care for the bride on this franchise.

I also don’t care about this conversation between Monique and Gizelle. The green eyed girls are getting wasted on fireballs. I really like Kal. So, this means he is probably gay.
Despite the golden toilet seats, the reception hall is beautiful. Gizelle makes peace with Monique. Gizelle tries to make peace with Karen again. It’s an iffy situation. Candiace sings an original song to her new husband. I suppose It wasn’t as bad as a lap dance. Ashley is wasted. Ultimately, Candiace seemed to enjoy her day
I would love to read your comments on this RHOP Recap. However, if you guys could stop talking about being abused as a child, or watching your parents or pets die, or any other traumas you have suffered in life, that would be great. I’m going to have to start banning people for my own mental health. I’m on day three of horrific anxiety after comments I read last Friday. I don’t want comments or sympathy about this request. Please just stop with triggering comments and talk about this RHOP Recap.
Yes, Kal is gay. Yes, Monique tried to drag Gizelle and Sherman last season. No, Monique didn’t get all the facts right on the alleged “park after dark” incident. (I’m 90% sure he was never convicted of anything.) And when Monique brought on Sherman’s ex-wife just to embarrass Gizelle, she was the one who resembled Eva’s bitter bridesmaids on RHOA.
It’s increasingly looking like Ashley has “the sloppy drunk” edit this season. Didn’t you previously report that producers were irritated that Ashley and Michael were putting on a show for RHOP cameras (in making their fights appear more dramatic than they ever actually were)? If so, this might explain why producers decided to retaliate by giving Ashley and Michael such a shitty edit this season.
Well, there are shitty edits and then there is trying to destroy a man’s business over ridiculous bullshit for a story line. Is it an wonder Marc doesn’t want to come on RHOA?
Wasn’t Charisse the one who brought Sherman’s ex wife onto the show.
THIS!!! Charisse has admitted this many times and Gizelle looks past it and comes for Monique. She didn’t do anything Gizelle hasn’t done. Accusing Charisse of having a relationship with the “fire fighter” and saying Karen’s husband wants to sleep with Erika Lyles amongst other things.
Everyone knew Kyndall as did Gizelle who decided to date Kyndall’s ex-husband anyway. Soooooo…. She tried to blame Monique because she’s never liked her anyway and no one is buying it.
Charisse wasn’t the one that gave Kendall screen time- Monique did. Monique went as far to do a staged scene so that she could have Kyndall, a person she just met, to speak negatively of Gizelle and Sherman. Monique later voluntarily brought up the situation to Ashley about Sherman.
The educated viewers didn’t ignore these facts. Monique is a social climber. People that have lived in the area for years knows this.
Charisse said she tried for years to get Kyndall on the show before Monique was even cast, but Bravo had no use for her. Monique provided Bravo with a reason to use her, albeit a messy one.
Thanks TT for a great recap. I have to say this episode has been pure pleasure for me. I have completely fallen in love with Porsha and Dennis as P.J.s parents. HW shows usually don’t inspire feel good experiences, so I will enjoy it while I can. 🙂 I really hope the new Grandmas will get along in the future. It will make life so much easier for all of them.Oh yes, that baby is beyond beautiful !!
Best line ever by Giselle. ❤her!! The weddng vows were lame. Candi ass shamelessly promoted herself and he quoted song lyrics. They are an odd couple and appear very closed off to each other at such an intimate moment. I can hear divorce bells ringing all the way from Arizona.
Reason for divorce? She’ll say his forehead is too big.
Ha! I thought I was the only one who’s inner voice said “Can-di-ass”every time I read her name. Y’all are right, her Mama can’t spell.
Didn’t like the wedding dress at all ! Her Mom is ridiculous about her inviting her brother! Who does that ?? Gizelle looked beautiful. When was the wedding was Ashley pregnant then ? I really like Juan and Robin together! Karen gets on my nerves .
I didn’t think it was so bad. The straps were kind of weird but they sort of grew on me. What I couldn’t help notice over and over again during this episode is that she looks so much better with her hair down. It’s a shame she had it up.
The mom fight over the brother was ridiculous I agree. Do you suppose that could have been contrived. It just seems odd the way she introduced the discussion like on queue. Ok now we’re going to discuss my brother coming to the wedding cue poor put out daughter routines and angsty angry mother response.
Gizelle’s black & white outfit absolutely slayed..
Thanks for the recap. I forgot it started again. Was surprised that Gizelle was back with Sherman after he stood her up before.
I was surprised Gizelle was so quick to give Sherman another chance. She should be able to do so much better and I don’t buy his lame excuse in trying to blame Monique for his absence. All of the men on this show, except Monique’s Chris, has had embarrassing things said about them and they all showed up.
That said,I think all of the other men are being paid for their humiliation and maybe that’s the real reason Sherman was a no show because he got no dough.
Pretty sure Sherman is wealthy. Do you really see Gizelle going after someone who isn’t? Which isn’t intended as a diss on her by me either.
Good point about Sherman is likely wealthy. I was trying to make sense out of his behavior. Gizelle gets on my nerves but I didn’t like her getting played like that on camera by the likes of Sherman. She can do sooo much better!
I like Monique and I may actually like Gizelle this season if she continues to be the fun Gizelle that attended the reception.
I hope to see less of Candace ( i refuse to the spell her name the stupid way she spells it) as the season continues.
Can’t believe Bravo is still pretending Karen lives in that house but Karen can be comical entertainment so she gets a pass. Looks like Krazy Katie joins us next week and that should be interesting!
Remember season one’s Karen the Etiquette Police? Lol that heifer is so freakin pretentious.
How can I foget?! LOL She continues to look as ridiculous now as she did then.
Especially last season. Who has a press conference with no press?! LOL
*sigh* this has got to be one of the best looking group of women on the real housewives series, yet, choices! Monique needs to help some of these girls pick out flattering makeup and wigs and clothing. That dark berry lip Candiace chooses to wear is so unflattering along with her raccoon eyes in her confessional.
I didn’t mind the long bows on side of Candiace wedding sleeve a bit juvenile, my daughter has clothing with ribbons that do that. Was thrown off when they did a close up and they looked like those studded belts from Hot Topic, how dreadful.
I like this franchise but I stopped watching last season because I just couldn’t get into Candiace I wish they would of replaced her, I tried watching the wedding part but I just don’t care for her and her mommy issues.
Sherman is a smart man. Nothing good comes from being on this show, man or woman.
Candiace and her mom remind me of an upper class version of New York and Sister Patterson.
OMG! beerandy…..FLAVOR FLAV! They do remind me of New York and Sister Patterson. I struggle watching these women. They are one of the worst Housewife franchises. Their story lines are so fake. I can’t take the bs of Karen living in that house. I can’t stand Candiace and how awful she is in real life. To call a child “chucky” is terrible, she should lose her title and get kicked off the franchise for what she said.
I thought Candiace looked stunning for her wedding. The wedding and reception was beautiful. I would never spend 200k on a wedding though, that’s a down payment on a house or an actual purchase of a home. Candiace mother’s behavior was ridiculous, regarding the half brother. It’s not his fault that he was born from an affair. Plus she was trying to make the wedding about her. Get over yourself.
Gazelle looked stunning at the wedding. I’m glad she kicked Sherman to the curb. As the saying goes, fool me once shame on you…
Damn auto correct, Gizelle
I agree with TT, Bravo paid for the wedding- which is why all the ladies were there to film. Prior, Candiace was claiming that the only people she would invite would be Karen and Monique. I was really surprised that Candiace was brought on for another season. She doesn’t live in Potomac (no where near), and she doesn’t have money. Her mother owns the condo located at the National Harbor- an hour away from Potomac. No one even hears about the Miss United States pageant. I also find it hilarious that she supposedly has a successful hair/wig line, but her hair/wigs are always horrible.
THIS! All Candace’s wigs are lifted about a foot and a half off her head (which is doing her no favors) and its almost always the same color and style. It makes it extremely hard to focus on anything she’s saying on screen
I’m with you Gizelle’s behavior towards Sherman’s refusal to escort her to the wedding seems overblown. She’s already said she knew about the park incident because Sherman told her on their second date and she was ok with it because it was in the distant past. Is it possible we’re missing a piece of a puzzle like maybe another as yet undisclosed sexual indiscretion of a more recent origin? Not trying to start a rumor but the reaction just seems odd is all.
Gizelle’s one my favorite housewives. Seems like she’s got her shit together mostly. I like the way she interacts with her kids. She’s fun to watch like that pizza delivery nonsense at Karen’s.
That dress she wore to the wedding was nice. I thought guests weren’t supposed to wear white to weddings?
Think Kal’s gay TT. I liked the guys dubious reaction to her going on about taking Sherman back and counseling. You have good taste in men. I would not kick that man out of bed.
Well, awesome recap! I’m not a fan of Candiace, that dress was ill fitted and her singing was atrocious. I’m guessing the iTunes version will be auto tuned to death. Gizelle looked beautiful. She wasn’t overdone…classic beauty. No Sherman, good riddance! Monique and the Delusions of Grandeur Dame…meh! Michael and Ashley…I can handle in small doses. She has her irritating moments but she brings it.Robyn and Juan…the jury is out for me. Waiting for Katie’s return as her level of zany will make for a good season.
Thanks. Potomac is not my best subject. But Katie Rost is apparently way past Zany. See here. https://tamaratattles.com/2019/02/17/weekend-update-all-the-stuff-i-didnt-mention-this-week/
Please stop with white dinner jackets. It’s a waiter’s uniform. And WTF was up with the lack of socks? Hated Candiace’s dress – both of them. Chris’s vows were a joke and so was the bride singing. I have never disliked a housewife as much as Candiace.
I can take or leave many of the cast on this franchise. Robyn and Juan are hit and miss, I mean they’re there or whatever. Candace (cuz I hate how she spells it too) is still trying to find her way on this show, shes like the baby sister where Ashley is the nosy ass middle child that has to tell everybody elses business and her big sister Gizelle is just as nosy but somewhat tactful. Karen is the older still wanna be hip (a la Nene Leakes) character who tries entirely TOO hard. Something about that Matt guy she has hanging off her teet creeps me tf out.
But wait is anyone going to discuss Karen basically wearing all white to the wedding?
