Off to a late start on this #RHOP recap because at the last minute, a computer glitch shutdown my laptop unexpectedly, and erased all of my grunt work. But I am quickly back on track and ready to go to the Cayman Islands with this crew!
Before we even get to the island, Ashley is pissed at Katie. Nearly fifteen minutes in we are at the damn chiropractor with Monique. She must have it in her contract she has to be in every scene. So Karen is stuck watching Monique get an adjustment. Karen is headed for the Caymans loaded for bear and Gizelle is the bear. It seems these two are going to fight about Karen staying in one night when they went to New Orleans LAST SEASON. Gizelle was pissed Karen chose to do an Instagram live instead.
Let The Trash Talking Begin!
Robyn missed the flight to the Caymans. I think that is a housewives first. Especially since this is “Robyn’s trip.” The rest of the ladies arrive on time and get on the bus to the Westin. The main topic of conversation is Krazy Katie’s wig. Karen has wigs better than this. Actually, the latest wig Karen wears in her confessionals, the short blond one, should be her daily wig. It really flatters her.

However, Katie’s wig du jour once again makes her look like she is in the witness protection program. I’m not sure is Ashley’s confessional wig is worse. I think it might be. Karen is wearing a sequined minidress for the beach. I’m sure it was very expensive. It’s also not resort wear, at least for daytime. It’s like a glittery football jersey and her number is 00.
Hey! Let’s Brawl In The Hotel Lobby!
The girls facetime Robyn for their room assignments. Robyn asks Ashley to share the presidential suite with her since she has been going through so much with the Michael situation. Plus she is pissed Gizelle for acting a fool at her open house in front of potential buyers. Ashley is also in charge of things until Robyn arrives. Gizelle and Karen are in a two bedroom suite. This is not good. Candiace and Katie are in the other room.

Karen and Gizelle immediately get into it over the stupid New Orleans Instagram Live incident. Maybe that was this season? This season seems to be lasting FOREVER. Anyway, things get very out of control and Candiace of all people is trying to get them to stop embarrassing themselves in the lobby. As someone says, “the white people are staring. LOL.
Room Drama
Gizelle changed her room to a single, took her luggage up and left the rest behind. Oh wait, it seems she is actually crashing in the presidential suite.

Karen’s sequined football jersey looks even worse from the back with the double zeros halfway down her butt.
Later, Gizelle and Ashley talk about Katie. For some reason Ashley seems to have forgiven everyone except Katie for gossiping about Micheal’s drama. Here is the thing. They all have the right to gossip about Micheal’s incident. But they still should have been supporting Ashley at the same time and not making things worse. And Katie’s bizarre story about her boyfriend and the multiple phone lines is really odd. On the beach, Ashley tells Gizelle that Katie’s new boyfriend has no job and she is his meal ticket. He will agree with whatever she says.
Sunset Dinner On The Beach
I think Katie was shamed into wearing her real hair to dinner on the beach. Whose ever hair it is, Katie looks stunning. She’s drop dead gorgeous again for the first time all season. It makes me wonder if she is off something that her boyfriend has been feeding her. She looks so much healthier and happier. Wow, Gizelle just noticed the difference too.

Ashley immediately goes after Katie. Apparently Katie forgot to stop by Candiace’s room on the way to dinner like she said she was. Ashley says Katie has a problem with lying. There is a huge blow up between the two. Gizelle tries to mediate asking Katie if she has anything to apologize for. Katie wants to know what she is talking about. Gizelle reminds her that she did in fact say Ashley was stupid. Katie doubles down instead of apologizing. Ashley says she is not the one who move an unemployed homeless person into her house after knowing him for a month.
Sea Bass & Snapper!
Even the other ladies are trying to walk away from this fight. Katie says at least she is not married to an 80 year old. Ashley says she would be if she could. Katie says she needs more words than just ‘stupid’ and ‘dumb’ to describe Ashley.

After more back biting between Gizelle and Karen, Karen says she is having an event for her nonexistent perfume line. Gizelle asks if this is the launch. Nope, it’s a “reveal” where she will give them little roll on samples. This reminds me so much of Austen Kroll’s fake beer line. Pay for a tiny batch to be made and dress the mutton up like lamb and call it a business. When Gizelle asks why she isn’t doing her own distribution, Karen says she has to “consult with her partners.” This murky water just keeps getting murkier.
How Sane Do You Have To Be To Be On Housewives?
Katie is not quite as alert and normal as she was moments ago. Gizelle tells Katie that Ashley doesn’t open up to many people and she feels betrays by Katie. This is rich because Gizelle and Robyn have treated Ashley like shit through her entire ordeal with the Michael situation.

Ashley confronts Katie for calling Michael gay. She says she never said that but everyone else at the table has. Katie looks like the crazy is back. However, she is make a ton of sense. Why is she the one being singled out for talking about Michael’s sexuality? As Katie says, this is not a new thing. Ashley says it’s because Katie is not her friend. Katie says she doesn’t think Ashley knows who her friends are. And I agree. Ashley doesn’t seem to have any friends.
Where The The Hell Is Robyn?
The next flight out was four hours behind. These girls have filmed room scenes and beach scenes and sunset scenes and very long dinner scenes and still no Robyn. After dinner Robyn finally shows up. But she gets off the shuttle dressed and fully glammed out. So that scene was fake as fuck. Everyone is glad to see her nonetheless.

Everyone heads up to the presidential suite. Katie is officially drunk. She tells Ashley she is sorry IF she said she was dumb. Maybe she meant to say stupid. Oh Lord have mercy with this one. Then Ashley makes fun of the “horrible toupee” on Katie’s head. It is clearly the same wig now that it is all mussed. But I swear it looked good when she first came out!
Ashley says that Katie is not mentally strong enough to handle this group of women. Everyone seems appalled that Ashley said that. But I totally agree with Ashley. Katie has some very serious mental health and/or drug issues she needs to deal with based on her Instagram posts. Katie agrees with Ashley. She says she is going through a whole lot of really tough stuff right now. And if Ashley doesn’t want to be her friend because of that, then fuck you!
To Be continued…
On the next RHOP Recap, Katie appears to have gone home. The ladies take a boat tour and pet stingrays. I will never understand why people do that. Robyn confronts Gizelle.
I love this show and love the drama as much as the next person. But the confrontational scenes with Katie were uncomfortable. I don’t know all the details of her situation but I hope it works out for the best and wish her well.
I have to admit that I thought it was funny and good TV at first, but I’m praying that whatever Katie was going through during filming that she has found peace and gotten better. The Katie Rost I’m seeing this season verses the season one Katie are two different people. I pray all is good in her world and God restores peace into her life.
I like Katie but she is not well. I normally love Gizelle and her messiness cause it’s entertaining but I think she’s been taking it too far with Karen & Monique. I hope her & Karen mend their friendship. This season does seem extra long but it has been good.
What kind of hoop earrings was Gizelle wearing at the dinner? I could not stop staring at them. They were huge, clear, and looked like plastic. Almost as bad as Katie’s wig!
“Cash money trash” bahahaha! you are killin’ me smalls
I am convinced that Katie’s “boyfriend” is actually a sober companion/Lady Sitter that her parents pay for…sad thing is that she has still been strung out on something all season. She is knd of like Kim Richards, but Kim has much better hair. Katie’s wigs have reminded me of the texture of Barbie hair that you don’t care light a match around.
I guessed a combination of Xanax and Adderal or Cocaine… she’s got the sedated face with hyper attitude.
meth or coke, possibly using or the residuals actions of past usage. It takes time to correct yourself. Wishing her the best
Adderal is also a strong possibility
Hmm, to me it looks like a downer that she could be using. Not an upper. She doesn’t seem to have it all together and seems as though she doesn’t care what she looks like or acts like. That’s someone who doesn’t have any motivation.
Sober Companion…??? That make sense to me. She seems to need him on this trip.
That Katie in all her drunkiness was too funny, but I love her forthright comment and Robin laughing was the nightcap to my Sunday evening. All that being said, whatever Katie was going through during filming I hope it has been resolved it had her in a bad place.
I love Katie and hope whatever she is going thru with her kids custody case gets resolved and she is a part of their lives. She is gorgeous and I would watch her on any show. I know she was in a bad place tonight, but she was funny too.
I probably failed to mention that AGAIN that Katie was not invited to the reunion…According to her.
Wasn’t she pregnant around this time (when they filmed)? I feel like she posted about the miscarriage ages ago. She needs help.
The no pageant hair, fresh faced / minimal makeup look really suits Ashley and Candiace. They both look so much younger without it too! 😁
Giselle is jelly of anyone with anything more than her – a relationship, money, property, etc. She has been jelly since she started and she will be jelly going forward. It’s just who she is.
Karen should maybe think back to season one as to why the ladies always “come for her”. Since the show started she has portrayed herself as the big “I am”, so she shouldn’t be surprised that they’ve continuously tried to take her down a few pegs. She basically invited it. I do have empathy for her situation.
Katie… Girl… That wig. Please burn it. 🔥🔥🔥
Gizelle’s messiness is getting tiresome and boring. She really need to do a little self reflection. It’s not a good look to be that mature and constantly stirring the shit pot with friends. Everything Karen said about Gizelle was true. Karen’s reaction and words was not expect and it caught Gizelle off guard. Or, good it be, she was not that dynamic in stirring the pot, because her sidekick, Robyn was not there? Actually, I think she was a little put out, because Robyn didn’t include her to share the presidential suite and she was not appointed the HBIC until Robyn arrives. Boy, did she get a pie in her face, especially after she just claimed the HBIC.😀😆
Karen is quick to invade someone personal space and starts getting aggressive than when called out for her behavior she then starts deflecting and starts with all her urban verbiage and expect whoever she having a go of it with to bow down to her. She’s quick to comment on the other ladies appearance while she’s looking a 🔥mess. Also she need to stop trying to convince everyone that she and Ray have it all together there is no perfect marriage. The filler scenes with her and Ray are totally unnecessary and unbelievable.
I’m 1/3 into episode & already thinking they should have named this episode “too lazy to be a housewife”? If I’m coming out of money problems and I’m on a show that pays a nice chunk of change – my ass would be ON-TIME! For everything! Robyn is late for trip, wedding, and her husband’s party that she is hosting. It’s plain LAZY. I’m sure those women have pre-check, CLEAR, and priority First Class tickets which means you zoom through security & check-in at the Reagan DCA airport. She doesn’t bring enough storyline to be this lazy. Time to replace Robin – but can we keep Juan? Those dimples & his smile are the BEST!
Janfan, yes. I used that last flight, amazing how well I was treated and how quickly I went thru. Being late is also rude, means you think your time is more valuable than others.
Robin being late for everything is just tacky. Especially a flight for “her vacation” that is obviously paid by Bravo.
New Orleans wasn’t last season.
It feels like it. This has been such a loooooooong season.
I dislike Ashley with a passion.
Did y’all watch Watch What Happens Live last night? Andy seemed to apologize for the RHOP unseen footage they aired on last Sunday’s WWHL. He said we “mistakenly attributed a quote to the cameraman…” blah, blah, blah, “and for that we sincerely apologize for that error.”
I saw that. It’s very rare that they apologize for how they falsely portray someone. Michael Darby must have some good lawyers.
Yes, indeed he must. I thought it was weird though because it seemed like Andy was apologizing to the cameramen, not to Michael. He didn’t even mention Michael, but then again, maybe that’s better for Michael not to have his name associated with that nonsense one more time.
I know these ladies have to bring the drama to keep their places on RHOP, but the comment Ashley made to Katie was so senseless and mean. I have stopped watching the majority of the Housewives shows for this reason. RHOP is about to be on the chopping block.
I thought being crazy and/or a demented harpy was a requirement to be a “Real Housewife.”
There is “crazy” and then there is mentally ill. Katie falls into the latter group unfortunately and need to seek in patient help. I haven’t posted a lot about it, because I care about her. But she needs someone who actually knows her to care about her and get her some help.
Greetings RHOP fans!
I think I’d like to join your group. With the latest RHNY news I sadly don’t think I’ll be watching it next season. I watched part of the first season of Potomac back when it aired but I couldn’t get into it back then. But one of my daughters moved to Georgetown and it’s soon becoming my frequent destination/second home. I love it there! I would have to binge watch from season one to get caught up, but I have done solid work in this area before lol. I’m pretty much down to Beverly Hills and am on the fence about OC.
Looking for a new franchise to fill the void. Full disclosure, I’ll have to binge Love After Lockup first because I just discovered it and it is a buried treasure.
Are y’all still really into RHOP or is this one struggling as well? Inquiring before I commit to binge. I’m thinking I might enjoy it now that I’m familiar with the area. Any and all advice/thoughts on this would be much appreciated!
