Sigh, we interrupt my day off for this quickie RHOP recap. I am full of beer and tacos and trying to relax with Banjo and pretend like I get to take off for holidays. But the show I am binging is On- Demand and I have two things taping.
On second thought. fuck it. I’m going to tape a later episode. I want to just enjoy my life tonight. I have zero interest in watching other people live theirs at the moment.
Let me know if the episode is worth watching in comments.
Enjoy your night!
Enjoy the day!
It was kind of a snooze. Except for Karen’s braided wig. That thing…
I with you on Karen’s mess/braided wig.
Yay! Glad you decided to give yourself a bye. All their crap will be there later and everything was filmed months ago anyway. Have fun and I hope Banjo’s peppers aren’t “biting back.”
It’s worth watching if only for the really really bad wig, Karen seems expert in the wonky wig department
That braided wig was atrocious! Karen needs to stop it.
Kurn and that hair! I love a braid, just not those braids.
I agree with Candiaces mother. I don’t think anyone can demand respect and independence whilst at the same time living in a house owned by their mother, having their income supplemented by their mother and crying everytime their demands aren’t met. It appears Candiace wants all the benefits that come with an established career (nicer clothes, a bigger house, more disposable income) without working for it. Also, where does her hubbies money go if shes always asking her mother for coins? ?
What is wrong with RHOP?? I thought the basic premise of the show was showing how the other half lives…. beautiful houses, fabulous vacays, etc. Is there no one with money in that geographical area willing to film?? If I wanted to see broke-ass women with bad hair fighting with family, I’d walk around my own neighborhood. Nothing to see here.
You realize a lot of women on other shows aren’t liquid? It’s hard to front with the real estate prices in DC. Outside of Charisse, and Karen before Ray went broke, most don’t have it. Gizelle or Bravo is probably paying $4k – $6k rent for that house. Michael is rich, but they are living in the urban area in the condo. No one who’s really rich will film for a DC reality show. It’s too conservative here. Just like the really rich won’t film in Atlanta. Can’t risk showing their personal business to the world and potentially negatively affecting their standing in society and business.
RHOBH, RHOD, and RHONY are probably the only franchises where each of them have their own money outside of marriage. The Samuels are not broke. Vicki and Shannon are not broke. And the Boss, Kandi is definitely not broke. She was worth millions, before RHOA. I agree with Shell_d, not all wealthy people are willing to come onto a a reality to soil their standing in society and business.
Boujee Bee, I forgot about Monique. They are rich.
Ha! I did the same thing, turned on RHOP looked at it for 30 seconds and turned the channel. Was not going to let those women ruin the end of a perfect day at the beach. Watched a few episodes of The Office instead and went to bed.
In line with my “cookie cutter” theory for these HW shows, I think that KH did that to her hair on purpose. On a lot of these HW franchises, somebody shows up with a ridiculous looking hairstyle that they have to know is going to get criticized by the masses on the blogs. Maybe the person who agrees to wear their hot mess hairstyle gets a little bit extra in their pay check the more attention or web traffic they bring to the show. It’s usually the ones who need the money….lol! This has to be true because why else would they’re hairdressers let them leave the house looking like (as my mother used to say) “whodunnit and why???” LOOOL! This is just a theory of course…lol!
Non-petty: I can understand how Gizelle felt about Karen’s opening up to strangers with connections but I thought it was inappropriate to bring it up at the end of a lovely evening. I mean, I don’t even know these people but I can tell Karen is a type of person who is not about to sit there and be called out in front of her friends or coworkers haha! Gizelle should have approached it privately after the dinner and maybe a splash more empathy/compassion.
Maybe that would have made the episode more sleepy. I look forward to next week’s episode, it looks very emotional and sentimental!
Petty AF: Karen, hair is no from me. Candiace, don’t bite the hands that feed you. Ashley, girl open ya EYES smh that relationship grosses me out. Robyn’s storyline is…….being late? Idk.
If I was Katie’s roomie, I’d hide my valuables in the safe. I don’t know why ?
I’d hide the sharp objects too incase the walls or kettle told her I’d been talking behind her back. Joke joke ?
Why would Gizelle expend all the time and energy to get Karen to make up with her just to attack her at the next opportunity? Why would Karen cornbraid a wig? Why would they want crazy Katie back on the show? Why does Candiace whine about everything? Why ask why? This show has jumped the shark.
Why IS Katie back?
Girl…at least one of them was wearing high heels in the French Quarter. That’s like begging the universe to help you break an ankle or two, and smash your face on the ground.
Also Karen has a wig keeper and she made the poor put out man braid one of her wigs last minute just especially for New Orleans, ’cause, you know, they like that in New Orleans about as much as much as boiled crawfish that’s sweet to the taste. (Also it’s that time of year again btw). But Monique put it best when she said My braids are attached to my hair, Karen’s are attached to her wig…yes indeed. lol.
Your favorite Candiace Facetimes her momma, and immediately begins with the, I can’t never talk with ya no how, ’cause you’re always in on me, and I’m a skeered you’re gonna sell your house out from under us iffin you get angry with me, and then proceeds to piss her mom off by getting pissy and ending the Facetime by slamming the laptop screen down. But I ain’t feeling sorry for her, or her mother ’cause I don’t much care for either one of ’em. Before that she’s onscreen telling us what Mike said about his willingne..err eagerness to go down on a certain man, and how she’s going to keep her mouth shut about it cause it doesn’t bear repeating. We should probably start the clock on when she repeats it to Ashley ’cause you know that shit is coming in a future fit of inflamed pique which seems to be roughly her normal state of being really.
Robyn is two hours from her flight out to New Orleans, when she suddenly remarks that she needs to change the color of her hair, which she does, and she STILL manages to make the flight. In case you wondering her hair looks much better the new/old blonde color. Also Robyn said she wasn’t saying nothing about Mike’s drunken penis desire confession but I like Robyn so I believe her, and if she does say something about it to Ashley one of the other bitches made her do it, probably Candiace, or Karen. You know how they do.
Karen get’s really chatty with a perfect stranger and reveals the secrets of the House of Huger to her which naturally makes Gizelle, who has been rebuffed time and time again when inquiring about the state of Karen’s business, which quite naturally leaves Gizelle feeling some kind of way. So of course rather than inquire about it in a private conversation with Karen, she quite naturally in true housewives fashion confronts Karen in a group setting, which also naturally leaves Karen now feeling some kind of way about Gizelle so she storms out of the event in a rather Karenesque way.
Looks like next week Ashley’s gonna confront Mike about his penchant for penis, or maybe not. Pretty tired of that story-line already.
One of the more entertaining bits of the episode was when the ladies visited a cooking school in New Orleans and they were given boiled crawfish. Watching them pinching tails and sucking heads was I have to admit a little entertaining.
Thank you. This was the recap I needed. I’m not even sure the show taped for me. I was desperately trying to work as little as possible this weekend.
Outstanding recap. Once again I missed more than I realized. Thanks!
That is Gizelle’s way to deflect from the fake love relationship with that thing called Sherman.
I felt like getting a toothbrush at scrubbing the floor around the treatment chair at Karen’s dental clinic. That was nasty.
Why oh why are we watching root canals on RH franchises now? I mean….SERIOUSLY
