After Bravo taking a week off from new shows last Sunday I had forgotten about this show. Has the RHOP Recap always been on Sunday? Just when I thought they fixed the schedule so I didn’t have back to back recaps, now I have them again. But it’s a good night for them, it gives all my readers who read from work two good posts for Monday morning.
Candiance thinks she need a bigger house. For what? Shoes? There are only two people living there! Candiance says that she is not speaking to her mother because she didn’t like something she said. So, she smacked her in the face with her purse. Her mother should have smacked her more as a child and corrected her smart mouth then. But, better late than never I suppose. Chris is having a dinner party for all the girls to try out his cookbook recipes.
Amistad You Right There
Ashley, Gizelle and Robin go on the slowest two mile walk of all time. If they were walking any slower they’d be backing up. It’s making me so crazy I can’t pay attention to what they are saying. But, it appears to just be a scene to set of the huge fight between Ashley and Chris at the dinner party. Candiance told Gizelle that Ashley’s “miscarriage” testimony and Michael’s tears were both fake.

Candiance also told Gizelle that when Monique first met Katie in New Orleans, she referred to Katie as “Amistad.” This makes no sense to me. Amistad was the name of a slave ship, not a slave. It just seems like a very weird thing for someone to say. Oh I just saw the clip. She was making a comment on how batshit crazy Katie is. It still doesn’t make sense. But I don’t think it was meant to compare Katie to a slave.
It Takes One To Know One
Monique’s baby shower gender reveal miscarriage party from hell apparently did provide her with enough ego strokes. So this week she’s having some sort of weird maternity photo shoot while wearing a wedding gown in her pool. And she is calling Katie Rost crazy? I admit the photos were beautiful though.

For some reason, Ashley is also there in the pool. They talk about how Ashley mocked Monique’s pregnancy issues and now Ashley is on the receiving end. Karma is a bitch. But Monique has compassion for Ashley because she know how hurtful what Candiance is doing is. Monique doesn’t get the Amistad comment she supposedly sad either.
Assorted random scenes include, Karen and Ray Huger taking dance lessons. Ray is a lost cause. Ashley having Michael’s pool table removed from the apartment. And, Robyn getting breakfast in bed from Juan and the boys.
Cat Fight Over Crostini
Monique meets Candiance for lunch. I presume this will be to discuss the Amistad situation. Candiance seems shocked that Monique knew about her conversation with Gizelle. These girls tell it all. Of course Candiance blames it all on Gizelle. Then, Candiance tells Monique she is very judgmental. Monique points out that Candiance’s criticism of here is exactly the same as what her mom does to her. True. This causes a mini cat fight.

Gizelle and Robyn are the first to arrive at Chris’ dinner party. They get an early sample of his purple potato skins and apparently they are fantastic. Candiance starts going in on Ashley right away. She says she overheard Michael say he wanted to suck a sausage at a previous event. Robyn says she heard it too. Robyn says that she heard Michael say, “Yeah, I would suck his dick.” Chris said he thinks he said sausage and not dick.
Asshats And Ass Grabbers
Gizelle reminds the others that a few years ago Michael grabbed some guy’s ass on the dance floor at an all cast filming. Clearly this dinner party happened after the news broke about Michael allegedly touching a male cameraman on the ass at Monique’s weird baby shower miscarriage gender reveal party.
I must say that Monique can really rock a maternity outfit. It’s like an endless wardrobe of amazing outfits.
Gizelle is planning to bring up the penis sucking comments over dinner. Chris’ dinner is fantastic. The conversation goes left right away. Production has Candiance sitting right next to Ashley. Ashley begins confronting her about all the trash she talks about her and her husband.
The Elephant On The Table
Candiace readily admits that she thinks Micheal’s tears over the miscarriage were fake. And that her miscarriage testimony was fake. Who says that about anyone? You might think it but you don’t speak it out loud .
The other ladies just want to get their salad course. Candiance does the most and imitates Ashley sharing at the part about her miscarriage. She uses her knife as the microphone. Ashley wants to know why any of this is her business. Gizelle tries to interrupt the argument with a blessing. As she and Karen pray, Candiance and Ashley continue to fight. Ashley brings up the fact that she is sitting in a house her mother owns. This is Candiance’s hot button. She starts banging her knife on the table. Ashley tells her not to talk about her mother in her house. Ashley suggests she not bang up her mother’s dining room table.
Both Candiance and Ashley jump to their feet screaming at full volume. Candiance screams at Ashley to get the fuck out of her house while wildly waving a knife. Chris has to come and physically remove her from the scene. As she continues to scream at Ashley, she throws a knife at her. She tells Ashley she will not discuss her mother in her home.

Next week Candiance and her mother get some TV therapy. Robyn brings up the dick sucking comments over dessert. Ashley feels betrayed by Robyn.
Could we please dress Candiance up as Kaiser & send her back to the Land with David Eason ? That will show her which side her toast is buttered on !
Agree. So it’s ok for Candiance (I want to say Candy ass when seeing her name in print) to talk about Ashley’s husband but not ok for Ashley to talk about Candiance’s mother.
Abhor Candiance. Poor little rich girl with a broke ass / dead beat dad husband & with mother issues that rival Sybil. How she got a second season is beyond comprehension. Bravo HATES us. That’s the reason !
Amen!
Damn spell the girl’s fucked up name right. It’s Candiace. You have it on the tags. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Also, I keep re-watching Gizelle’s bougie ass saying “dilapiLated” instead of “dilapidated”. Hollerin’!!
I think you may want to read the commenting rules
Too late. She’s in WLS. I may need to rename the WLS the Vanderpump Stan Holdiing Area. 🙂
I don’t watch this show but I almost want to watch this episode after the recap. I quit watching because I despise Candace (I also refuse to spell her name in the stupid way that is on her birth certificate). Anyway, I would love to watch Ashley push Candace’s buttons by bringing up her mom. She deserves it and it is such an easy trigger.
Ashley will have her speaking in tongues at the reunion. Team Ashley # having a gay husband is an asset not a detriment!
Regardless of one’s sexuality, they can be sad when their partner has a miscarriage.
This show has become so contrived. I am not enjoying it this season. Candiace needs to go.
I still can’t get over that Candance’s mom hit her upside her head with her purse. And she is still living in the house/condo in her mother’s name? Surely they can afford to financially disconnect from her mother by now. I would move all my shit into a crappy two bedroom apartment after that. And sleep peacefully knowing that the lease was in my name.
Monique’s assessment of Candace was point on. Monique’s pictures were stunning. Sorry not sorry but Candace deserved to get smacked by her mother. Her mouth is too much, she’s going to cross the wrong person and get an a$$ whoppin. Candace crossed the line mocking Ashley’s miscarriage. Unfortunately I do not see Chris dealing with Candace’s behavior much longer. Get rid of Candace and keep Chris on the show.
I love how we all are misspellings her name on purpose :).
Forgot to add that Candace needs a bigger house for her ego!
Also how is she going to talk about Ashley (big) head when her’s is just as big or bigger. Smdh.
Two take aways from this one. The first is, and only because it’s the most recent, “don’t ruin your mother’s table”, and really it’s because I can’t stand Candiace, but the other is Candiace interjecting that her mother was abusive to her as a child with that hit her upside the head with a purse comment, and that reminding of her when she was 12. Call me rotten for saying this but I kind of wish the purse was full of cement. I know right, I’m horrible, and I guess I don’t want that so much as I want Candiace gone, and her horrible mother with her. Her husband is the best part of her and judging by the way she rejected his attempts at letting her know she was stepping over the edge during dinner she’ll fuck that up pretty thoroughly as well.
Does anyone really believe she was abused as a child ? If she was abused she would exhibit tell tale signs by being frightened & meek & mild around her abuser. If she was abused as a child she would not be so fn entitled & cruel towards others. I abhor violence in any way shape or form but a little spanking & verbal reproachment is probably as far as this person’s abuse went. I always believe the victim & give them the benefit of the doubt. This poser? Not a chance in hell !
As my mother would say when I was young, Candiace needs someone to jerk a knot in her head. The problem is kids today generally have no full time parent in the home. Kids need a full time parent. Sadly at some point women decided they all wanted to work because they are equal to men. That equality took away the parent from the home. Now we have several generations of adults who were not raised by anyone other than their teachers.
#UnpopularFact
THIS!☝️FINALLY, SOMEONE IS SAYING IT!!
Unpopular? Yes. True? Also, yes.
I’m not in any way inferring that women should revert to being barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen, so simmer the hell down. What I am saying is that it is a necessity the children have someone they can depend on AT HOME whether that be Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa. I taught elementary school for over 30 years and my husband was a child psychologist and we’ve seen it all. Some of this stems from the current generation wanting to live in the same type of homes and drive new cars and go on vacations….enjoying the same lifestyle their parents currently enjoy but have worked for over the last 20 or 30 years. They want it all and they want it now so that means two parents working at least one full time job each. It’s the kids who pay the price. They don’t need ANY of those things. They need an adult they love and trust at home.
Current generation? Hardly. Everyone I know HAS to work. It’s not an option. We’ve needed two incomes for 30 years now. I was lucky that my mom watched my children while I had to work to you know, eat and keep a roof over my head. You cannot live without two incomes unless one spouse makes six figures. My mother in law was home, sadly for her children. She was a sadistic narcissist. It depends who stays home.
I understand that now people feel they have to have two incomes and two SUVs and a McMansion. That is what all my coworkers had when I was teaching. And most of them had husbands. I lived in my little ghetto shack and could drove a very modest car, and couple have easily supported a stay at home husband.I rarely go out to eat, or to concerts or to movies. I saved my money and racked up miles on my Delta Amex and did all of my entertainment in Paris. That seemed to really annoy my coworkers who with two people working couldn’t seem to figure out why they were in debt.
I think I watched too much Suzy Ormond or whatever her name was as a child.
YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!! I know I am so late to the party, but I couldn’t agree more. I am a teacher and I stopped working once I had kids, so I could be at home with my kids during those crucial years. Daycare was the same price as one of our paychecks anyway, so it did not make sense to flush money down the toilet in order to have someone else raise our kid, so that I could work. I digress…
I also agree about teachers having to raise the their students because the parents are too busy working. It’s literally what I did with so many of my fourth graders. It’s sad, but I was all some of those kids had.
I honestly thought this was a repeat and didn’t watch most of it. Very grateful for the recap. I MIGHT go back and watch Ashley throw that delicious shade about it being her mother’s house.
Could Michael be something other than 100% straight? Sure! Is there anything wrong with that? NOPE! Some bisexual people still fall in love with one individual and practice monogamy. The only issue is Michael’s grabby hands – but I’d say the same if he slapped a woman on her ass. I can also say that I myself am pretty much straight – but I’ve also joked that “I’d tap that” or “she’d be worth a dip in the lady pond”. In a drunken convo with my cousin, we each added a woman to “celebrities I’d like to bang”. (I think hers was Madonna, and mine was Drew Barrymore.)
I just don’t like that they are accusing Michael of being gay or bi like it is a bad thing. Focus on the inappropriate behavior towards an individual, no matter the gender.
I still hate Candiace. I spell it correctly because of how I pronounce it in my head.
Candiance proves my rule, and the rule of most teachers, that is the parents don’t know how to spell their kids name, the gene pool is likely as shallow as a puddle.
I too find the woman’s outrage over Michael’s bisexuality outrageous. Sexuality isn’t binary, it’s on a scale. So his comments don’t bother me. And the occasional ass slap doesn’t bother me either, However, it’s never a good idea to get too close to production. And no criminal charges were ever filed.
Other than the alleged ass slap… so he was basically saying Juan is hot. Physically, he is!
Let us assume Michael is straight. That means he’s so comfortable in his own body that he’s willing to recognize when a guy is sexually attractive. To me, this makes HIM more attractive (I find straight guys who are so not homophobic and comfortable with the sexuality spectrum VERY attractive personality wise. )
Either way, bi or straight or gay, I find the tenor of how they’ve “accused” Michael very distasteful. Now, if he was hitting on Juan to genuinely see if Juan was interested and continued to do so after being turned down, that is a whole different kettle of fish.
Sweetie, I think it is exceedingly clear that Michael is NOT straight. Just like most of the population. But why is it so sexy to males if two women flirt but no if a male expresses interest in another guy? It’s all so much ridiculousness. Michael married a woman and she is pregnant. He’s MARRIED but that doesn’t mean he can’t look at the menu. It’s literally PRIDE month. I need an open marriage month or a polyamarous month or at least that to be included in the LGBTQRSTUVWXYZ or maybe a WHY CAN’T WE ALL MAKE SEXUAL AND EMOTIONAL DECISIONS FOR OURSELVES MONTH.
I get if someone guy was VIOLATED by an ass tap. But STFU. Women have had our butts grabbed for decades. Times they are a changing.Sexuality is a range for everyone. It’s hot women women have flirtations with other women, but somehow is QUELLE HORREUR !!!! when mostly straight guys do.
Well, I was assuming for argument’s sake!
I think straight guys think, when they see two women kiss, that they are going to be allowed to participate because a penis is needed for it to be real sex or something.
I kind of wish Ashley had said “Well, Juan is a handsome man. Michael has good taste.”
Will you marry me T.T. ? I don’t care who you sleep with as long as you come home to me ! # #musesareheard # middle aged & unattractive on the outside am I # luninesant & incandescent on the inside xo parasiempre y Costa Rica para tu
I already have a gay husband. I don’t think he would approve. 🙂 However, he may get sick of me at any time so I’ll keep you in mind. Aren’t you a Masshole? I hear the health insurance is good there. 🙂
Gay housekeeper / dog walker then ? I’m up for it ! I am happy to hear you already have a gay husband 😏 WE ALL NEED A GAY HUSBAND ! Keep the straight ones ladies they are good for only one thing & one thing only , yard work . Just kidding my yard work is also ABOVE REPROACH ! I am in my sassy pants mode this summer ! YES Masshole & insurance for days ,) but also a great listener chief cook & bottle washer as Maum used to say. 🎯🏆🤹♂️🌷🙏
Thank you so much for that! He did not assault anyone, so he is a little fluid, who gives a shit?
I can care less about Michael’s sexual preference. They came on a reality show and knew their lives will be scrutinized under a microscope, so just be honest and come clean versus dragging their dirty laundry along at a slow pace for story line. The Darbys are the hypocrites of RHOP. They accused the Hugers of not being honest about their lives, yet, they are doing the same thing and has been from day one. I can’t stand a gossiping man and that is Michael Darby. His eyes lights up, as he gossip with is wife or say something shady about the other ladies. That alone is a red flag to me.
I don’t promote violence, but uh, I am not sorry Candiace’s mother gave her grown ass a knock up side the head with her designer bag (where is production,when you need them). She is beyond annoying. She should count herself lucky her mother didn’t give her a smack down to the floor in front of their fancy friends at that luncheon. Besides, watching Candiace’s behavior tells me her mother could have been provoked by Candiace’s childish antics.
I don’t feel he is obligated to “come clean”. No one should be obligated to have to announce to the world their sexual preferences or who they are attracted to when “window shopping”.
Michael is also of an age that ‘coming out’ so publically might be difficult. If still has family his age or older they might not get it (and are willing to just chalk his comments up to being funny, etc. After all, sports players slap each other on the ass all the time)
The other crime of Candiace was the photo of the wedding where her mother assaulted her- wearing white to a wedding! It’s ALL about Candiace, and don’t you know SHE is a new bride too!! What about Candiace’s other motivation to go after Ashley- to please Karen, who has tried to be a supportive mother figure to her, the one she never got…Karen gets to keep her hands clean and watch the fireworks show.
Poor me.. you just don’t KNOW how i was raised…I don’t believe for one second that Candiace’s mom sat around diagnosing her bipolar and other things in front of the family. I think Candiace’s Mom is shocked at the self-centered, entitled (not beauty titled) little brat she is.
I am the reader who didn’t watch the shows, but reads your recaps from work every Monday morning, every workday morning! hahahaha
Chris and Candiace can’t move out of her mother’s house because I thought all his money was tied up in the restaurant and child support. Candiace doesn’t work. How are they going to afford a “bigger house”? Chris won’t leaver her because he has it too easy there by mooching off his mother-in-law too. Candiace is ruining her mother’s reputation as a therapist by airing her memories as a child. If I was Candiace’s mother, I would watch this show and listen to what Candiace is saying behind her back, and I would sell the condo. If Candiace thinks she can make it on her own, let her.
Either sell it or force an eviction through the courts.
I know this is really old, but I’m just catching up on my reading. I watched it when it stopped. I just wanted to say that the way they can afford to move out of that Candace does work. She gets a nice housewives paycheck.
Oops… *I watched it when it AIRED, not stopped
Until Chris had to physically restrain his wife, the guy looked like he was praying that the earth would just open him up and swallow him while he kept his head low and focused on chopping.
Still gobsmacked that her mother is a licensed therapist and that patients PAY her.
Candice is disgusting she’s on the Nene level of sub human. I don’t know why she’s even on the show I have to fast forward when she moves her mouth. She’s a walking law suit waiting to happen. Just like that Kelly from OC.
am i the only one LOVING Karen this season???
Ms. Karen is EVERYTHANG!!! Edges or no edges she is my favorite. Love her to death. I used to like Giselle but watching her ream Karen (after comforting her at the reunion) changed my stance.
It seems like the most likely scenario is that Ashley and Michael like to let their freak flag fly. They probably “disappeared” after his comment because they were turned on. It WOULD be sad if Ashley is just tolerating Michael’s attraction to other people because she loves him and/or the security he represents, but that just doesn’t seem the most likely explanation.
But even if Ashley were the most put-upon beard in the Greater Potomac area, how does Candiace come to the conclusion that Ashley herself doesn’t want to have a child? Or that Michael doesn’t, for that matter?
They look pretty happy now — to the extent you can tell from social media
I co-sign with Monique. Candace gets her shitty, entitled & judgemental personality from her mother.
Speaking of Monique, pregnancy looks on her. She’s never looked more radiantly beautiful.
